Chapter 365 I Can't Be Like You

Eric originally planned to take Murdoch into the small living room, but the old guy offered to go to Eric's study after entering the door. Eric readily agreed, if Murdoch surrendered his identity to be a commercial spy himself , he also recognized it, not to mention that even in the study, the most important things are usually in the safe. …≦ small,

When Jennifer Connelly walked into the study with a pot of coffee, she saw an old man in his 60s standing with his hands behind his back, standing by the wall full of storyboards and looking up at the drawings above, admiring from time to time. Twice.

The girl quietly put the coffee pot on the coffee table and walked gently to Eric's side.

"Eric, is this part of the storyboard for Jurassic Park?" Murdoch asked suddenly, pointing to an area on the wall.

"Well, these are just preliminary thoughts," Eric nodded.

Elizabeth, who was standing beside her father, snorted dissatisfiedly: "Maybe even the script has been written."

Eric shrugged and made an expression of whatever you want to say. Elizabeth immediately became more complacent, but Murdoch didn't seem to see his daughter bickering with Eric, and continued to point to the drafts of several disaster films and asked: "What about these?"

Eric didn't mean to explain Murdoch in detail as he did to Cameron, but said lightly: "This is another series."

"Tsunami, hurricane, strong earthquake, thousands of miles of ice, the collision of heaven and earth... Tsk tsk, if these scenes in the sketch can be perfectly displayed on the big screen, the sensation will definitely be no less than that of "Star Wars" back then," Murdoch said. Admired from the heart, Eric's large-scale investment in the digital field is not a secret in the industry. Many people think that Eric is over-the-top because of the money. before seeing these drafts. Murdoch also had this idea, but seeing Eric's huge plan with his own eyes, the old guy immediately understood that Eric was not only not hot-headed, but was playing a big game of chess.

"It's definitely not as good as Star Wars, and it's hard to replicate this series," Eric said honestly, not that he was being modest. "Star Wars" has become a cultural symbol, and its peripheral value is incalculable.

While the planned Jurassic Park and disaster franchises are sure to be huge hits, it's not realistic to overtake Star Wars in influence, and of course, if it's all about the box office, there's still a chance of power.

Murdoch read it again, then walked to the sofa in the corner and sat down. Connery felt that the study was not the place he should stay. He squatted beside the coffee table and poured coffee for the three of them, and said softly to Eric: "Eric. I'm going out first."

Eric's head,

Glancing at Elizabeth who was sitting next to Murdoch: "Liz. Some people have sent over a lot of scripts these days. Haven't the next movie been decided yet? You can pick it up with Jenny."

Seeing that Eric was going to kick himself out with the small vase he kept, Elizabeth raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction, glared at Eric and said, "Why don't you let me pick one here?"

Eric said lightly: "You can't support the project here."

Feeling despised, Elizabeth was even more angry, and was about to refute, but saw her father wink at her, the girl grunted twice, but did not play any more petty temperament, stood up and was about to go out, when she saw Ai Rui Beside K, Connery also stood up, his eyes rolled, and he stepped forward to hug the girl's arm in three or two steps: "Miss Connery, you are so beautiful, ah, so fragrant, you use what perfume?"

Connelly glanced at Eric, was dragged out by Elizabeth, and hurriedly said after hearing Elizabeth's words: "Thank you, Miss Murdoch, it's Chanel... ah!"

Connery was talking when he suddenly felt his buttocks being grabbed twice by a small hand, screamed in surprise, and looked at Elizabeth beside him in disbelief.

Because Eric was sitting in the direction of the exit, he happened to see Elizabeth turned into a female hooligan and reached out to attack Connery's buttocks. I couldn't help but smoke, is this taking advantage of myself, is it appropriate for you, little girl, to do this as a woman?

Murdoch followed Eric's surprised eyes and turned his head to look, but only saw the back of his daughter holding Connery up the stairs: "Eric, what's wrong?"

"Uh, it's nothing," Eric shook his head, took a sip of coffee and said in shock.

After the two women left, the two slowly drank coffee and talked about the weather in Los Angeles for a while before Murdoch tentatively stepped into the topic: "Eric, I heard that you are raising funds recently?"

"Yeah, because there's something to do," Eric said, quickly thinking about Murdoch's intentions.

The less than 200 million US dollars of funds drawn from several companies such as Firefly will definitely not satisfy Eric. This money can only be enlarged to 2 billion US dollars according to 10 times the leverage, and the expected profit is far less than that of Eric gram's expectations, he needs more chips.

Therefore, during this period of time, Eric was trying his best to raise more funds. All the credit cards in his hand were overdrawn to the limit, and even the small vaults of Virginia and Nicole were not spared.

It was originally the best way to get a loan from a bank, but if you want to get a large amount of money from the bank, it will take at least a month for the various procedures to add up. At that time, it was already August, when the Kuwait war broke out, and then I got the money and entered the market. It's too late.

Eric's speculation in crude oil futures is not a top secret. With Murdoch's strength, it is easy to know the inside story. Although he doesn't know what the little guy in front of him is crazy about this time, Murdoch has learned from his Judging from the behavior, Eric is making a big gamble.

Everyone knows the truth of ten bets and nine losses. Although Eric has made amazing achievements in Hollywood in just two years, Murdoch definitely does not believe that Eric can replicate the same miracle on Wall Street. Therefore, He keenly sensed that this was a great opportunity.

Before entering this room, Murdoch's original intention was to lend Eric a sum of money. If Eric loses all this money in the oil futures market, Murdoch can justifiably propose to give Fox TV's 10 % of the shares were redeemed. Although Eric had never intervened in Fox TV's affairs before, this 10% stake was like a thorn that made Murdoch restless.

But seeing Eric's huge plans for several special effects blockbusters, Murdoch quickly changed his original plan. Compared with taking back the shares of the TV station, Murdoch felt that it would be more cost-effective to invest in Firefly. Business.

"Eric, if you need money, Fox can lend you some of it."

"What about the conditions?" Murdoch got straight to the point, and Eric didn't beat around the bush, put down the coffee cup in his hand, and asked seriously.

Murdoch relaxed on the sofa and said with a smile, "It depends on your sincerity."

"How much can Fox pay, I mean, in ten days at the most?"

"Ten days?" Murdoch straightened his waist again: "Eric, ten days is too short."

Eric said: "Mr. Murdoch, if I have enough time, I will go directly to the bank for a loan. With my current wealth, I think any bank will be very happy to lend me hundreds of millions of dollars."

Murdoch narrowed his eyes and looked at Eric for a while, as if to find some useful information from Eric's face, but the old fox was quickly disappointed.

"Well, I'll make a call first," Murdoch said, standing up.

Eric pointed to the desk not far away: "Please."

Murdoch went to the landline at the desk and made a few calls. He didn't hide Eric's intentions. He spoke directly to the other side. Eric listened carefully. Murdoch was basically talking to News Corp. Learn about your financial situation.

After returning to the sofa and sitting down again, Murdoch said to Eric: "In ten days, I can give you 80 million."

Noticing Eric's disgusting look, Murdoch was a little embarrassed, but a little helpless: "I know that you collected nearly 200 million US dollars before, but News Corporation is not mine alone, I can't be like you. All cash is withdrawn." (To be continued..)
