After Sophie leaves, Eric also in a hurry washes to have the breakfast to the hotel dining room.
In the recent several days the business is exceptionally numerous and diverse, the Firefly investment company team that not only Chris leads will catch up with Paris today, discussed that purchases the matter of Nokia group, but also Eric must according to the agreement of last night and Jack Valenti, to these Europe native place movie influence some benefits, quite makes these local bullies not act to obstruct the negotiations of «GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade)». Moreover, he is impossible completely to let loose the propaganda work of «Jurassic Park».
As the Eric first assistant, Alan in some newspaper of today will need the Eric attention the page layout to reorganize as usual ahead of time, sees Eric to appear in the dining room, then has placed on one pack of newspaper his table.
„Eric, I think that you should have a look at this.” Alan has referred to a uppermost weekly.
Eric took, this is a French Newsweek, Alan, although has only made English postil on the essential page layout, Eric can realize that he makes himself pay attention to this publication the reason.
Because this Newsweek has used the entire page layout, has printed a picture, Tyrannosaurus Rex in the picture that the Paris urban district batters, but the title is labelling ‚culture strikingly: Attack of United States’.
Eric does not need to read the content, almost can guess that this article was saying anything.
The French horn said that in history Box Office disastrous defeat of 《Germinal》 of most expensive movie in front of «Jurassic Park», a 100 million 60 million francs investment, the first date has only taken back 1 million franc Box Office, it is expected that first week Box Office also only then about 5 million francs, this digit did not have «Jurassic Park» are many in first date Box Office of France, the French will make such response to be indisputable.
Eric fast and turned following several points of newspaper, then did not have the mood of reading, today France French or English newspaper, basically were discussing the «Jurassic Park» Box Office matter.
However, thinks that last night party, the Eric corners of the mouth overflowed sneering of taunt, must approach the Hollywood treachery including the French movie influence in private. These media go all out to clamor again are also useful, finally anything did not decide.
Today's newspaper will lose in one side, Eric told: „You give France the Manager telephone of Subsidiary company, making him carry on the suitable crisis public relations. Other we did not need to manage.”
Alan fast takes down the instruction of Eric in the memorandum, said: „The flight of Mr. Hansson arrives at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in ten o'clock probably, I have arranged several car(riage)s, do you want to pick personally?”
„I pass personally,” Eric nodded.
......
The terminal of Charles de Gaulle Airport. Flight that Chris one line of take compared with estimating landed on the airport near quarter lately.
Noted the Chris form to appear in the distinguished guest channel exit|to speak, Eric has wielded starting toward the opposite party with a smile, moved forward to meet somebody. After approaching, Eric discovered that accompanying of Chris follows in him behind, with is actually one that he walks side-by-side with the middle-aged person who Firefly invests does not relate.
The middle-aged people are about 40 years old, wear non- frame eyeglasses, the mediocre appearance looks for the first time will give people a clumsy feeling.
However, Eric slightly has not actually despised this middle-aged person, because he more than once had seen the picture of opposite party in the related information, this person Nokia current CEO Jorma Ollila. Although the look is ordinary, the Jorma Ollila personal history is not mediocre, this person not only has is doing scholarly research and economic double master's degree, but also has held the post of the management of Citibank over the 30 year, in the original space and time, Nokia under his leadership, from one status that is on the verge of the bankrupt the company to move toward the global communication equipment overlord.
„Eric, does not see for a long time,” Chris and Eric hugged, quick on own initiative reported to him: „I think that you affirmed knew him. Mr. Jorma Ollila.”
Jorma Ollila approaches one step to shake hand with Eric: „Mr. Williams, I am Jorma Ollila, sees you very much happily, I like your movie very much.”
„Thanks. Called me Eric to be good,” Eric loosened the hand of Jorma Ollila, has not cared about the vision that in the opposite party smiling face carefully examined, turned around to greet with the Firefly investment company team members who Chris brought.
The people left the airport, Eric brought Chris to sneak in their private car, car just started. Chris impatiently opens the suitcase that carries along: „Eric, feeds in the New York material according to you, I made the person make an appraisal to Nokia this company again......”
Eric has interrupted the Chris words, has referred to behind that car(riage) with a smile: „You have not told me Jorma Ollila what's the matter, how can he arrive at Paris to come with you?”
Chris smiled, temporarily closes the suitcase, said: „He is almost I picks from New York.”
„I know that Jorma Ollila went to Wall Street is Nokia has invested, but the situation should not have you to say was so miserable?”
„On the situation that I know is, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley these big investment banks to investing Nokia do not have the too big interest, because before Boston advisory group more than one year, openly has published a report, claimed that the Nokia cell phone service definitely is unable competes with Motorola and Japan cell phone manufacturer, finally just got rid transports passes company Lehman Brothers of control to intend to invest, but Lehman Brothers now itself the fund is short, the condition that pledges is also quite harsh, when I contact Jorma Ollila, he negotiated for one month with Manager of Lehman Brothers investment arm, moreover had not broken off conversation with the opposite party, currently speaking, this person is really able, but. Meanwhile he also became we purchased the Nokia resistance, since he to Lehman Brothers such giant compromise, in other words he similarly easily will not compromise to us easily.”
Eric asked: „Did you attain him and Lehman Brothers negotiations content?”
Chris nodded cunningly, „this naturally,” was saying, Chris opens the suitcase, put out several points of document to give Eric.
„Jorma Ollila and Lehman Brothers conflict main centralized in the capital scale and date two aspects, Lehman Brothers only complies with capital 50 million USD at first, actually must take away the Nokia 10% stocks, the condition that moreover, Lehman Brothers gives is three years later helps the Nokia operation go on the market, but Jorma Ollila actually hopes that Lehman Brothers can operation Nokia go on the market directly, obtains by illegal purchase the development funds from the stock market.”
Eric read front document, the doubts was saying: „He the listing is making anything anxiously, if the Nokia prospects for development are good, late listing. Can't get more interests?”
„This aspect I also make person analyze,” Chris explained: „Nokia at present majority of stockholder's rights centralized in Finnish several bank hands, this also means that Nokia makes any big service adjustment, needs to be under several bank shareholders' permissions. This situation also causes the Nokia management independent display space to be narrow. But if can operation Nokia go on the market in North America, Nokia will turn into a populace holding company, such management had bigger display space, only needs to be responsible for the general shareholders, does not need to obey gesticulations of several bank shareholders again.”
„In the final analysis. If he wants a bigger authority, right?”
Chris nods: „Yes, therefore, when I just started to contact Jorma Ollila, he to the Firefly investment is not too warm-hearted, I worried that he will continue to discuss to achieve the cooperation with Lehman Brothers suddenly, disclosed to him some Cisco materials, he will then comply to return to Europe with me together.”
Although the Firefly investment hides the stockholder's rights dispersion of Cisco in several investment fund, but as before is the Cisco first major stockholder, but. Besides supervision to Cisco necessary the human affairs as well as the financial, the Firefly investment too has not meddled the operation of this company, Eric understands that Jorma Ollila should settle on this point.
„Here, last week Cisco has completed to the annexation of coc communication, Cisco operation expanding catalyst5000 switchboard domain, after this annexation , the stockholder's rights in hand fell 31%, but, closed the stock price before last Friday, the Cisco present market value has achieved 5 300 million USD, that side detailed material Headquarters was still reorganizing. After completing, will send to your mailbox, I simply told you.”
Eric nodded to indicate to understand, since Clinton Administration came to power and announced after the information superhighway plans, more than half a year rapidly is rising with the computer network related stock price. The Cisco stock price is from the beginning of the year to the present, rose more than one time, although network technology stock craziest time is also far from the arrival, but this tendency attracted the attention of massive Wall Street investor.
Chris said that this matter, quick has put out a packing fine gift box from the suitcase: „Nà, the second matter. Some people made me bring the gift to come to you.”
Eric has not noted the Chris corners of the mouth bad smiles, some doubts disassemble the packing paper, discovered that is one 32 opens the size the picture frame, in the picture two chubby kids sits on the sofa, the young boy stares an eye somewhat dull to stare at the scene, the facial features look like the Joanna little girl actually law-abidingly not to extend the small hand as if to very much grasp anything.
Eric sees the picture, this thinks that two kids were on April 10 were born, couple days ago was two kids was born three months of commemoration day, he actually this matter forgetting, not to have telephoned for these days, it seems like Virginia was certainly angry, this made Chris bring ‚gift’ to come to oneself.
Chris said in the one side: „The Kevin baptism on that day I and Emily also went, but I now The Godfather Oh of kid, I also think that you definitely know, has not informed you. The day before yesterday Emily saw two kids, bringing this thing to make me take to you, I knew.”
Western child being born for several months later will accept the baptism generally, Eric has not thought that Virginia had not discussed with oneself, directly has handled the matter, smiled awkwardly, Eric realizes anything, asked: „Kevin baptism, that Xiaxia?”
The Chris booth lets go: „This should be the matter that you and Joanna discussed that” the expression that noted Eric to confuse, Chris also said: „Joanna is a Jew, the Jew aunt, from the tradition, Xiaxia should also be a Jew, from the blood relationship, she can also be a native of England, British believes in Christianity generally, therefore, which religious sect making the kid believe, wanted you and Joanna discusses.”
Eric felt that somewhat strangely, muttered: „My daughter unexpectedly is a Jew.”
The understanding is so long, Chris also realized that Eric is one to the race very insensitive person, therefore he also knows that Eric just in the words did not have what the meaning of discrimination, said with a smile: „Yes, if you will make Xiaxia take over your duty in the future, definitely very much will receive Hollywood to welcome.”
„Is the feeling somewhat is strange,” Eric has also smiled: „You, Chris, which ancestors your family is?”
Chris said: „My family is the Norwegian immigrant who the big navigation time moves, now should be the American Nationality.”
„Norway, I also think that Hansson is also a United Kingdom surname,” Eric said with a smile.
„In British bone arrogant,” Chris teased one, explained: „Hansson this surname partition is ‚Hans's son’ meaning, if you have read the fairy tale, will discover that Hans this name frequently appears in the Northern European fairy tale, Norway is one of the Nordic countries.”
Eric receives the pictures of two kids, said: „Good, did not discuss this temporarily, we returned to Nokia.”
Chris nodded, pulls out several documents from the suitcase: „This is I entrusts some comparison tests that the Cisco technologies division makes, the communication that Nokia uses to suppress the present stage majority of mobile communications equipment completely. Now the mobile phones use of mainstream is the simulated signals, what because uses is the signal impulse, is extremely easy to receive the disturbance to cause the connection quality in the transmission process to distort, in fact many two-way charges for cellular phones equipment corporation is studying the recent communication standard, but from the Cisco technologies division giving the test result , the digital signal that Nokia that model of 1011 cell phones use is stable, what this signal uses is with the computer same binary system principle, in the transmission process does not have the problem of distortion completely, therefore I thought that the GSM network that if Nokia uses can obtain the promotion, will cause a two-way charges for cellular phones equipment side hugeness. Transformation, but first promoted Nokia of GSM standard cell phone also to obtain very big superiority, if not think that our investments were cut down, after the purchase was completed, we must first do, was lobbies Europe various countries to use the GSM standard comprehensively.”
Eric said: „The matter that after this is probably the purchase is completed, must handle?”( To be continued.)
