Chapter 1026 It Recognizes Me

East Hampton always puts Eric at ease,

Summer is not a good time to sleep in. Feeling the sunshine outside the burgundy curtains, Joanna is no longer around, so Eric gets dressed and gets up.

After washing up and going downstairs, you can hear Emma's childish voice on the stairs.

There was a faint smell of food from the kitchen, but Eric followed the sound to a small living room downstairs. There was a large low table in the corner of the spacious living room, and three little figures sat on the small stools. Surrounded by the short table, Emma seemed to be painting, while the other two little guys turned their backs to themselves, but didn't know what they were doing. There is also a girl with a ponytail sitting next to Kevin with her back to herself.

Emma, ​​who was sitting facing the door, saw Eric appear, her eyes suddenly widened, and she was confused for a moment, and shouted that her father rushed towards Eric excitedly.

Eric bent over and hugged the little guy who rushed over in his arms, smiled and let Emma kiss his face before asking softly, "Do you want Dad?"

"Well," Emma nodded vigorously, and immediately said expectantly: "Dad, did you bring a gift for Emma? Auntie brought a lot of gifts to Emma last time."

"Of course I did. How could Dad forget to bring a gift to Emma and ask Aunt Joan to bring it to you later."

Eric said and walked to the short side, put the little guy down, and glanced at the short table.

In front of Emma was a pile of colored pens. Kevin was filling out something in the notebook in front of him with a pencil in his hand. He noticed Eric's appearance and looked at him with a bit of timidity in his eyes. Hawaii is holding a thick book that is somewhat inconsistent as usual, completely unaware of his father's focused appearance, and next to his daughter there is a seven-inch mini keyboard and a supported tablet computer, which he had already done last time. See, these are custom-made and delivered by Steve Mitnick, and there are no such things on the market now.

After rubbing Emma's little head, Eric walked to the middle of Kevin and Hawaii and sat down on a cushion. The ponytail girl just stood up when she saw Eric appeared, but hesitated for a moment. , sat down on the other side of Kevin, and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm Anne Burnell."

Eric just nodded to the other party. This should be the tutor that Virginia asked for Kevin. He didn't like letting Kevin receive education too early. You can do whatever you want: "You go out first, I'll just come to accompany the children."

Annie Burnell's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she got up obediently and walked out.

Seeing his father sitting beside him, Kevin called shyly, "Dad."

Eric adjusted his posture awkwardly a few times, only to realize that the cushion under him was obviously not suitable for his big man to stretch out. He had to get up, hold his son in his arms, and sit on his small stool. Looking at the baby girl next to her: "Xia Xia, shouldn't you say hello when you see Dad?"

Without turning his head, Hawaii turned a page of the book in front of him and said, "Good morning, Dad."

"Well, baby, what are you looking at?"

"Bayesian Theory-Based Network Data Retrieval Model."

Eric sighed in his heart for two seconds, feeling that he should try harder, and asked carefully, "Well, what is this about?"

Hawaii didn't answer, looked over with beautiful eyes, and carefully looked at his father, looking like he was evaluating someone's IQ, and then withdrew his eyes as usual, and turned his attention to the book in front of him. .

Well, it's too shocking.

Eric thought in frustration, looked at the book in front of Kevin, it turned out to be Scrabble, and immediately revived the sense of superiority of being a father: "Hey, baby, do Scrabble, Dad is here. help you."

Having said that, Eric has picked up the pencil put down by his son and glanced at the topic in front of him.

p_ncil.

This is simple, obviously it is a pencil, fill in an e.

Confidence returned immediately.

After a while, Joanna walked in and saw that Eric had already finished most of the scrabble book, and smiled: "This is the homework that Vicky left for Kevin, if she knew it was done by you I'll be pissed off."

Eric irresponsibly filled in a few more words in the notebook and said, "It's fine if you don't tell her."

Joanna walked to the other side of the short table and squatted down, sorting out the scattered crayons in front of Emma, ​​and glared at Eric helplessly, and said, "It's time to eat, take Kevin to the restaurant first."

Eric didn't get up, but pointed to the baby girl beside him.

Joanna glanced at Hawaii and didn't explain anything, but picked up the tablet and said, "Xia Xia made a fun thing recently, let me show you."

When Emma heard Joanna's words, she immediately stretched out her little hand: "I'll come, Aunt Joan, I'll come, and I will too."

Eric felt that the son in his arms was also looking forward to it, and was even more curious.

Joanna pressed the power button, handed the tablet to Emma with a smile, and took out a camera from the grid below the lower table to turn on the switch.

Eric saw the camera and glanced at the small keyboard and tablet that were also separated, and immediately realized a detail that he hadn't noticed last time. These components obviously use Bluetooth technology.

However, this thought was just a flash, and Eric's attention was attracted by Emma.

The tablet screen lit up, the little guy reached out and clicked a software icon on the screen, opened it, placed it on the desktop, picked up the camera and pointed it at his face, and then clicked a button on the screen.

In the blink of an eye, a female voice came from the tablet speaker: "Emma Roberts Murdoch Barrymore Williams."

"Look, Dad, it recognizes me," the little guy was obviously even more excited when he heard his name, stretched out his little hand and tapped the button on the screen, and the long string of names came out from the speaker immediately.

After several repetitions, Emma pointed the camera at Joanna, clicked the button, and the voice in the speaker sounded: "Mom."

After trying this once, the little guy turned the camera to Eric's side again, pressed the button, and the accurate response came from the speaker again: "Eric Williams."

Eric was stunned for a moment, then said to Joanna with a smile: "Why are you a mother, but I am Eric Williams."

"Who knows," Joanna rolled Eric's eyes, took the tablet in Emma's hand, and said, "Okay, baby, it's time to eat, and then play when you have time."

The two adults packed up and walked to the restaurant with the three little guys before Joanna explained: "This is a recognition program written by Xia Xia himself. Steve said that although this program is simple, it can only recognize that computer. There are some people who have stored data in advance, but Xia Xia's idea is better than all existing face recognition algorithms. As long as you have enough database and computing power, you can even use any networked camera in the world in the future. Identify the person in front of the camera."

Eric put his son at the dining table and said, "I only focus on one question now, isn't our daughter under six years old?"

Eric said this, and Emma, ​​who just sat down obediently at the dining table, immediately raised her little hand: "Dad, no, I'm seven years old."

Eric immediately responded with a smile: "Well, Emma is so smart."

Joanna said: "I don't think it's okay now, maybe our daughter will become a person like Da Vinci."

Eric took the breakfast from the maid, distributed it to the three little guys, and said, "Forget Da Vinci, knowing too much is not good at all, it will be very tiring."

Joanna also took a small pot of cereal from the maid, sat down at the dining table, and said, "As long as Xia Xia likes it."

"Okay," Eric had no choice but to nod, sit down, and say, "As for the matter of returning to Poland, I will ask Carter to help arrange four more female bodyguards for you. If you count the two at home, it is probably enough. , then you will take that Boeing 767 over there."

Eric has always cared about the safety of women and children. For this reason, he will donate a sum of money to the East Hampton Police Department every year to strengthen nearby security inspections. In addition to the customized security system, the manor also has a permanent The two female bodyguards, as for male bodyguards, Eric naturally never thought about it.

However, Joanna wanted to bring her child back to Poland, so she naturally needed to have more people around her. Eric didn't know what was going on in Poland now.

Joanna didn't reject Eric's arrangement, and said, "And Vicky, we plan to go together. The children have grown up so much that they haven't left Long Island much except for Chris's wedding."

Eric thought about it and said, "It's better this time. I'll accompany you on vacation next time."

Joanna nodded and said, "One more thing. The private school we built has been completed. We plan to start recruiting students this year. Do you want to see the principal at noon?"

"Okay, I'll leave in the afternoon. Let the other party come over for lunch at noon."

Eric didn't hesitate about this, and nodded immediately.

Although I never liked Virginia arranging home education for Kevin too early, Eric still attached great importance to the education of children.

Many Americans have a concept that instead of leaving a lot of money for their children, it is better to give them a better education. The United States has a very competitive elite culture, and elite education has always been a matter of great concern to the upper classes in the United States. Many times , once the education of children fails, it even means the decline of the entire family.

So, in fact, the children of the upper classes in the United States are also subjected to a very heavy and intensive education, and as for most of the carefree and rebellious students who often appear in Hollywood movies and TV series, there is no doubt that they are basically public schools' The scumbags', it's actually expensive private schools and further Ivy League schools that make America's elite class.

In the past life, many domestic students always fantasized that they could go to American high schools by relying on their math scores in junior high school. This situation does exist, but if it does happen, then, no surprise, you enter either ordinary There are public high schools in China, or schools for international students specifically for a certain group of people. The academic performance of the real elite children of private schools is absolutely no worse than that of top students in any other country. In order to make the next generation stand out, it is also common in the United States to pay high sponsorship fees for a better school.

The two women have spent a large part of their energy in preparing the school for the little ones in recent years, but the budget expenditure on infrastructure has unknowingly spent more than 30 million US dollars, and the establishment of the teaching management team is equally expensive. huge sums of money. The name of this school was determined to be East Hampton Private School, which was set by Eric. He was really not used to naming things around him with first names or last names.

For the time being, the school only offers grades one to six, with a total of six classes with thirty students in each class, targeting residents of several Long Island cities such as East Hampton, Southampton, and Bridgeampton. Although money may not be able to accumulate the best school, no one can ignore the powerful software and hardware strength of this newly established private school. Although the entire school only admits 180 people, the school's management team has received more than 500 applications for admission in recent months.

Eric and Joanna invited the principal named Katherine West to have lunch together at noon, and they talked in detail for several hours. Eric finally rushed to JFK at four o'clock in the afternoon and boarded the board. Private jet to fly back to Los Angeles.

"Eric, according to the box office statistics on Friday and Saturday, the box office drop of 'Midnight Bell' should be able to maintain within 30% this week, and the total box office this week may exceed 180 million US dollars," the rest of the cabin Indoors, Mayer reported to Eric the work of the past two days with a stack of documents in his hand.

Eric read the box office data report in his hand, took the coffee from Caroline who walked in, and then motioned Mayer to continue.

"Also, because of the success of "Midnight Bell", several other companies have begun to compete for the copyright of other novels by Suzuki Koji, and some Japanese horror novels have also been approved for movies recently. The New Line sent an email to ask us. Do you want to start work on a sequel and another The Grudge now?"

"Don't need it for now," Eric shook his head, thought about it, and said, "I'll go back and talk to Kenneth about this in person. Besides, how is the situation of "Rush Hour 3"?"

Mayer didn't pay attention to this, and turned to look at Caroline. She was more concerned about the news of the major technology companies in the Firefly system. On the film company side, Caroline was basically following up.

Caroline looked at Eric in front of her, but she always thought about him going to East Hampton to see the children, but her thoughts were not affected, and she quickly said: "The salary contract between the new line and the two male leads has already been completed. Everything is negotiated, and now we are working on the script.”

Eric remembers that "Rush Hour 3" was unsatisfactory at the box office due to the change in style. However, depending on the situation, the script has not been saved yet, so there is no need to worry too much.

Mayer waited for a while, and seeing that Eric had no objection, he handed over a document again and said, "Eric, this is the script about pirates that you ordered last time. The screenwriter is Terry Lu. Theo and Ted Elliott, the two of them were originally screenwriters at Disney's hand-drawn animation studio. Also, the script is very imperfect, it's just a basic outline, but they're registered with the Writers Guild, and we There is no contact with each other yet.”
