MTL - I’m in Hollywood-Chapter 1137 The talk show's response (4)

Due to the rush of time, Eric’s visit to Oprah Show was only available on ABC Channel, Yahoo Portal and several newspapers with good relations with the Firefly System.

However, although Eric does not actually want this program to receive too much attention, but the final ratings are still beyond the expectations of many people.

Half an hour of interviews, counting advertisements, the entire program was 45 minutes, the highest number of viewers rushed to 31.3 million, and the average number of viewers reached 26.6 million, which is almost three times the daily rating of Oprah Show. many.

As a daytime talk show, the average number of first-time viewers of Oprah Show is only about 8 million.

With the broadcast of this edition of Oprah Show, the media of the parties seemed to have hinted that they began to discuss more or less about what Eric said about this talk show.

However, most media attitudes are still very cautious.

Because just yesterday afternoon, Silicon Valley's famous Sequoia Capital suddenly announced the departure of its LH fund manager Ronald Hill. Immediately, some media soon discovered that Ronald Hill happened to be the main investor in the ‘Hollywood Gossip’ website that provoked the incident.

At the same time, last night, the ‘Hollywood Gossip’ website, which continued to take the opportunity to release the whole day, announced that the website would be permanently shut down.

As an entertainment news website that has accumulated a considerable amount of traffic for more than two years, according to the current wave of new technology that has completely fallen into madness, if the website is listed, the market value can reach at least 20 to 30 million dollars.

Just because of the news of the gossip that exposed Eric Williams’ children, in a short day, a large investment fund manager with over $1 billion in assets under control left, and a website with a market value of tens of millions of dollars was completely shut down. .

Although the parties are all ignorant of the reasons, everyone understands that these two things are clearly inextricably linked to the firefly system.

Therefore, although there are hints that can be discussed, most media people do not want to hear that they have provoked Eric Williams’s remarks, and when they wake up, they hear that they have been expelled or even closed their own newspapers, websites or TV stations. Message.

"Undoubtedly, as a father, Eric Williams is absolutely very competent, especially considering that the super rich man is only in his early 20s, and this courage to take responsibility is even more commendable." - "New York Post"

“Although the relationship between Eric Williams and a few women is a bit special, his sincere, frank, and courageous personality makes it impossible to find too many places to blame. Even we can’t Don't remind the world's richest man, you have to be careful, otherwise you will have a lot of children in the future." - Newsweek

“When I saw Eric Williams showing the photos one by one, my heart was only envious. Although I did not recognize the open relationship between Eric Williams and several women, at the same time His meticulous emotional maintenance between women and children can bring some inspiration to many families who have become numb in their marriage." - Yahoo!

“As a director, a screenwriter, and an actor, our Mr. Williams has only managed a few side jobs, and has accumulated hundreds of billions of dollars in unknowingly. This really makes all Wall Street investors feel uncomfortable. However, his commentary on the third industrial revolution is indeed very brilliant. We are in a new period of wealth distribution. So, seize the opportunity. Otherwise, you can only wait another hundred years. Of course, if anyone can live a hundred years later." - "Wall Street Journal"

"Eric Williams' disappointment with Howard Hughes' biography is perhaps a disappointment with the overall media industry's attitude towards the news. Over the years, the media industry has become more and more impetuous, too multimedia has gradually lost their role as a news platform. Serious and meticulous, just for higher newspaper sales and higher ratings, and pay attention to the gossip entertainment news." - "Washington Post"

"In order to suppress the competitors, there is no bottom line of vicious dumping, which may bring temporary benefits to one party, but it is the foundation of the entire industry. When everyone gives up the business ethics, habituality When relying on smearing opponents to gain advantage for themselves, the final result will only be the collapse of the whole industry. People can't distinguish between good and bad, and will only divide the whole circle into a basket of rotten apples, and then avoid it." - "Hollywood Reporter"

"..."

"..."

In general, the media's evaluation of the whole thing was either to be appreciated, or to understate it, or to talk about him, occasionally some criticism, and no longer have any influence on the media trend in the general direction.

Of course, this is not the vast majority of the media suddenly became very good talk.

The reason for this is that on the one hand, Eric's sincere and calm attitude in the "Oprah Show", on the other hand, the strong attitude of the firefly system has made most media jealous.

Affected by media trends, ordinary people have not even had the prejudice in their hearts, and they have unwittingly accepted the relationship between Eric and several women, and the fact that he is already the father of three children.

Of course, this kind of tolerance or indifferent attitude is largely due to Erik's wealth status. A multi-billion-dollar super-rich, in the eyes of most ordinary people, private life should be extremely 'rich', and Eric’s performance in front of the media is even very convergent for many people. It is.

With the fact that the gossip event, which has hardly set off too many waves, has quickly subsided, the original propaganda momentum has already been overwhelming, "Iron Man", the audience expectation has not only declined, but the popularity has gone one step further. The most intuitive performance is that the search for Iron Man on the portal and search engine has increased significantly.

As the opening work of the Marvel movie universe, and has also won a very good pre-existing reputation, if the movie box office loses because of a gossip incident, even if the Firefly Group can fully bear the commercial loss, but for the entire Marvel movie The blow to the cosmic plan is very serious.

Now, everything is back on track and everyone is down.

Of course, in private, many things are not over yet.

When someone else hits a black box, if you can't fight back to the other party and you don't dare to shoot it easily, then the next little trick will only come one after another.

Long Island, East Hampton.

Because the event subsided very quickly, the woman and the children were far away from the first time when things happened. At this time, East Hampton appeared very calm, and there was no scene of media gathering from beginning to end.

However, the two women with the children did not return immediately, but planned to spend the next summer vacation in Australia.

Therefore, in the Linhai Manor of East Hampton, only Eric was a male owner at home.

After attending the "Oprah Show", Eric rushed here. In fact, he can't predict the follow-up reaction of the media and the public 100%, and simply take the initiative to avoid it.

The result is naturally very satisfying, and Eric has turned his mind to deal with the end of the matter.

However, today's guest is George Soros.

I haven't seen it for a long time, and the old man is still a spirited look.

Quantum Fund planted a big head in the Russian bond stock market last year. Although it lost $3 billion, it did not hurt the fundamentals.

What makes Eric admire is that as the most adventurous hedge fund investor in the eyes of all, Soros is like this, like Buffett, very shy and cautious to avoid the increasingly turbulent Nasdaq market. Although Quantum Fund is also involved in the investment of technology stocks, the scale is very small, more like a temptation, and even if all the funds are lost, it does not matter.

In comparison, the Tiger Fund, which was originally tied with Quantum Fund, was the hedge fund, and the founder Julian Robertson continued to make big bets on short-selling technology stocks. As the Nasdaq index continued to rise, in just a few months, the hedge fund The size of the capital has quickly fallen to $11 billion, shrinking by more than half compared to the heyday of two years ago.

In the early summer, there is a round table on the green lawn of the manor.

Eric and Soros, while drinking coffee, chatted about a lot of recent things.

"Actually, I am also very motivated by the technology stocks, but the current situation can only make me think of the madness before the 1987 big stock market disaster. Moreover, I know very little about the new technology industry, as one can't keep up with the times. Old man, I think it’s better to avoid it."

When talking about the Nasdaq market at this time, Soros’s tone was disappointing with a missed opportunity, but it was obviously calm and abnormal.

Eric rested on the table with one hand and sat sideways, squinting at the legs and looking at the peaceful scenery in the afternoon sun. He said: "The biggest feeling of my years is this. Really smart investors. It’s never a gambler. Everyone’s occasional loss just doesn’t judge the situation more accurately, not because of bad luck.”

Soros slightly nodded, put down the coffee cup in his hand, and smiled: "So, Eric, you invited me to come today, not just to chat, although chatting with you is really very pleasant?"

"Of course not," Eric said, taking a sip of the coffee next to him and saying: "Sometimes, I found some bugs in my office and in my office."

"This kind of thing, everyone has encountered," I heard Eric said, but Soros smiled indifferently and said: "You will get used to it later."

"Maybe," Eric smiled and said: "But then we found something."

"Ok?"

"First, I found the person who placed the bug, and then I went up and found the middleman who entrusted the matter. The other party's operating funds came from an anonymous fund in the Cayman Islands. You know, it's hard to check. ”

Soros nodded and also had some curiosity, saying, "And then?"

"The fireflies hired people who didn't find the owner of the fund. However, we found some cases funded by the fund, bill lobbying, travel grants, etc. These cases basically point to the Scott of Pennsylvania. Special Gas Company," Eric said, picking up an envelope on the table and taking a photo from it and handing it to Soros. "Exactly, we found out that Scott Gas Company owner Milos. Kurt has always been an important customer of the Tiger Fund, and the Scott family has invested at least $500 million in the Tiger Fund. Oh, I have a photo of Milos Scott and Julian Robertson."

Soros listened patiently, but he knew in his heart that these recourses were definitely not as understated as Eric described at the moment.

After taking a photo, Soros put it down and shook his head: "Eric, these can't prove anything."

"I didn't want to prove anything, I don't want to sue anyone," Eric also shook his head and smiled with a smile. "I only hope that you can help me transfer this photo to Mr. Robertson, and also me." The advice, he wants to short which company is his freedom, but don't reach the fireflies again. Everyone knows that the Nasdaq market may collapse at any time, but the firefly has enough funds to support the stock price of any of our companies. When necessary, I can even repurchase shares in some of the company's markets."

"Actually, the operation of the clover fund should be regarded as the most confusing to me, but I have to admire you. This of course, I also know that you will not disclose anything to me now, maybe wait for these things to settle. You can give me this old man a little bit of talk," Soros suddenly turned a moment and put the photo into his suit pocket, then nodded: "I will hand it over to him."

After talking about this, he talked a few more words, and Soros left with a message.

After sending Soros, Eric returned to the lawn on the backyard. Meyer had already waited here. When Eric sat down, Meyer couldn’t help but ask: "Eric, that’s it. Already?"

Eric remembered that Soros had just said, "You will get used to it later," and smiled and said: "Or else?"

Massive eavesdropping from a while ago, it is obviously impossible for the behind-the-scenes instigators to have only a Tiger Fund family, and Eric is only lucky enough to catch the tail of the Tiger Fund. Since there is no damage to himself, Eric can't react too aggressively like this network gossip event, and only take more stringent precautions in the future.

Looking at the incomprehensible expression of the female assistant, Eric continued: "The next Julian Robertson should not shoot the firefly system any more. If he continues to do so, I don't mind taking a stick back. And this People are now completely immersed in a gambler mentality. According to the current trend of the Tiger Fund, they continue to go short. As a result, there is only one way to go bankrupt, and we don’t have to do anything extra."

Meyer nodded and carefully packed the tea set on the round table. He returned to the villa behind him for a moment and returned with a pot of hot coffee. "Eric, Ronald Hill, is the 'Hollywood Gossip'. The investor, who is now in New York, said he hopes to apologize to you, want to see him?"

Eric continued to give himself some coffee and asked faintly: "Is that just these?"

“There is also a fax,” Meyer handed over the folder that he had just taken in another hand. “The person in charge of the website took the initiative to confess, and Stanley Cullen, the vice president of the distribution of Paramount Pictures, gave He is worth $300,000, and those press releases are also provided by Paramount."
