Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventy-First Smart Girl

Both John and his wife are ordinary salarymen, busy with work all day and pay little attention to entertainment news. However, they also know what the new Eric Williams film means.

Glancing at his eager daughter, John asked, "Mr. Rich, can we ask, what is the role?"

"The role of a tennis girl, there are not many shots," Peter Ritchie didn't hide it, he introduced it simply and clearly, looked at Miranda Kerr, and asked, "Miss Kerr, can you play tennis?"

Miranda Kerr paused, and finally shook her head and said, "No, but Mr. Rich, I can learn. I learn things very quickly."

Peter Rich smiled and looked at Miranda Kerr's parents again.

John and his wife looked at each other, and then asked, "Mr. Rich, you mean, just a small character with few shots, right?"

"Yes," Peter Rich nodded and said, "although the role is small and has no lines. But appearing in a movie with world-class influence like 007 is very beneficial for Miss Kerr's future development. , of course, the premise is that Miss Kerr intends to enter the modeling world or the entertainment industry in the future."

The task that Eric gave him was just to pass this opportunity to Miranda Kerr and her family. The insignificance of this small role.

Of course, as a professional elite with excellent IQ, he also observed at this time that in the small family in front of him, the husband and wife are obviously not very assertive, but the daughter named Miranda Kerr is a shrewd person. Xiao Xian, in order to behave decently in front of him, obviously wanted to interrupt while he was talking with his parents, but the girl endured it.

After listening to his words, John and his wife showed hesitant expressions on their faces. Australia's summer vacation is between December and February, their daughter is about to start school, and the couple are both busy with work. They neither want to delay their daughter's studies, nor are they willing to delay work and take their daughter to Hollywood to make a film for a trivial role.

After hesitating for a moment, John looked at his daughter next to him and asked, "Miranda, what do you think?"

Seeing that her father finally remembered and asked herself, Miranda Kerr couldn't wait to look at Peter Richie and said, "Mr. Richie, in this movie, can I see Mr. Williams himself?"

"Sure," Peter Ritchie nodded.

Miranda Kerr twisted her waist involuntarily, sat up straight, and seemed to ask shyly, "Mr. Williams saw me in "dolly" magazine, what does he think of me? ?"

Peter Rich raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I don't know how to answer you this question. You can only ask the boss himself."

"Then, after participating in this movie, can I get other roles in the future?"

Peter Ritchie: "As long as you're good enough,

There will definitely be many opportunities. "

Miranda Kerr blinked her beautiful eyes and asked again, "If, um, if I want to move to New York, or Los Angeles, can Mr. Williams help me?"

"It's not something I can answer you either," Peter Ritchie shook his head and said, "If you have the will, I can help you convey it to the boss."

Miranda Kerr saw some of her own questions, and the answers she got were somewhat ambiguous. She realized that the guy in front of her had no right to speak. After thinking about it, she said, "Since Mr. Williams read it from Dolly magazine To me, he should be in Australia recently, can I meet him?"

"The boss has returned to America," Peter Ritchie said truthfully.

Miranda Kerr finally sighed in disappointment.

Although she had already made up her mind that she would never give up this opportunity, the girl wisely did not agree immediately, but just said that the family needed to discuss it.

Sending Peter Rich away, Thales, the mother who had not spoken during the conversation just now, looked at her daughter who couldn't wait to grab the contact information left by Peter Rich, and said, "Miranda, I think you are still It's too small, it's better not to..."

Miranda Kerr raised her head, interrupted her mother, and said, "No, Mom, I've decided, I'm going to play this role."

John seems to be very helpless to this somewhat precocious daughter who is full of assertiveness, and said: "But this matter is different from going to a magazine. You still have to go to school."

"Isn't the purpose of going to school to find a job in the future? Since I can have a very good job now, why should I go farther?" Miranda Kerr immediately retorted eloquently.

John was a little speechless by his daughter's rebuttal, so he had to look at his wife again.

Thales thought more delicately and said, "It's not that easy to be an actor. You haven't even been in an acting class. It's okay to play some small roles. It's not easy to be a professional actor."

"Hey, Mom," Miranda Kerr shook the card with the e-mail and long-distance calls in her hand, "do you know who Eric Williams is, he's the world's largest media conglomerate Master, as long as he can help me, I can get any role."

When John heard his daughter's words, he frowned, put on a purely male perspective, and said, "Then why do you think Eric Williams should help you?"

Miranda Kerr hugged a pillow on the sofa in her arms, rolled her eyes, giggled, and said, "What else, just like those boys in our school who always peek at me, Hmph, those hairy boys, I'm too lazy to care about them."

Every father is not in a good mood when he hears a man attacking his daughter, John immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I can't let you act in this movie, you are only a child now. "

"I'm not a child," Miranda Kerr straightened up. "And, I have already decided. Even if you object, I will go."

Seeing his daughter talking back to him, John was even more upset, and his tone became more irritable. He raised his voice and said, "You can't go anywhere without the guardian's consent."

Miranda Kerr shrank her neck and realized the problem, and immediately looked at her mother, but Thales just leaned towards her husband.

"Then, I will go to the country to find my grandma, and she can also be my guardian."

"Your grandma won't agree," John dropped the sentence, too lazy to say anything to this disobedient daughter, got up and walked out.

Looking at the back of her father leaving, the girl felt a burst of grievances and said loudly: "Then I'll go by myself, anyway, you can't tie me at home."

John just snorted softly and slammed the door without looking back.

Thales, who was still in the living room, saw her daughter's tearful appearance, her mind softened suddenly, came over to hug her, and comforted: "Okay, baby, your father is also for your own good."

Miranda Kerr, who didn't intend to cry, realized that her mother should be the breakthrough point of this matter, she burst into tears, leaned against Thales's arms, and said, "But, mother, I don't want to pass up this opportunity."

Thales patted her daughter's back distressedly and said, "Don't cry, baby, you are still young, and there will be many opportunities in the future."

"No, definitely not anymore, you, woo woo... You must have heard it just now, Peter Rich's tone is very indifferent, they don't care if I accept this opportunity or not, they can find a lot of big money But for me, this is probably the only chance. If I miss it, how can someone as big as Eric Williams notice me.”

Thales said: "You, you didn't say it all yourself just now, that, Eric Williams, must not be so pure in your mind."

"I'm just talking casually," the girl immediately changed her words and said, "Mom, think about it, Eric Williams' "Jurassic Park" earned $1 billion at the global box office Well, how can such a super director be so unprofessional, he must think that I am suitable for the role in the movie, so he sent the invitation."

"But……"

Thales wanted to say something, but was interrupted by his daughter's voice, saying, "Mom, if you're worried, you can go with me. Since I'm not an adult, they will definitely invite my parents to accompany me."

Thales loosened his tone and said, "I think it's better to discuss this with your father, and if you really want to go, it's more appropriate for your father to accompany you."

Miranda Kerr didn't know when she had stopped crying, and she still leaned in her mother's arms and said coquettishly, "No, I want my mother to go with me, and I don't want to take my father."

Being arched by her daughter's little head against her body, she almost fell backwards, Thales completely changed his position and said, "Okay, but your father is angry now, I will discuss with him at night, and you should not talk to me again. Your father spoke back."

"Well, I remember."

Miranda Kerr nodded quickly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and two cute little dimples appeared on her face.

I can finally go to Australia right now.

God knows how boring this place is, even in the city, there are not as many people as snakes.

As long as she can become famous, she can definitely leave here easily. Although she is very self-aware that she is more suitable to be a model, as long as she has the opportunity, whether she is an actor or a model, the result is actually the same.

Thinking of the international metropolises such as New York and Los Angeles, the girl felt even more excited.

After acting in a full set, and acting coquettishly beside her mother for a while, Miranda Kerr got up and got into her small room, and began to think about how to get in touch with Eric Williams, it is best to give it to herself in advance Fight for something.

The contact number left by Peter Ritchie is a transoceanic number, which is very expensive, and it is impossible to make transoceanic calls from her home phone.

However, e-mail is different.

Although it has just become popular in recent years, there is no such avant-garde thing as a computer at home, but she has seen how to send an email in a classmate's home. It is very simple and fast, and it can convey a lot of things at one time. .

She quickly made a decision to prepare an elaborate email to Peter Ritchie for forwarding to Eric Williams.

Well, how should I write it and what should I say to attract the attention of the big man.

This should be carefully considered.

...

Eric's Gulfstream private business jet left Australia, refueled through Hawaii, and flew directly to New York on the east coast of the United States.

In addition to the tedious work affairs of Hollywood, there are two other things in January that need to be closely watched by Eric, namely, the listing of Nokia shares on the US stock market on January 22, and the official listing of AOL on the Nasdaq on January 29. Market listing.

In 1995, Nokia achieved the sales of 7 million mobile phones and 600,000 sets of mobile communication base stations, and the annual turnover reached 3.6 billion US dollars. Compared with 1994, Nokia achieved a 130% increase in performance.

In 1995, Nokia achieved a net profit balance of $60 million, even when most of its profit was immediately invested in the company's expansion.

Therefore, this time Nokia simply listed on the U.S. stock market to realize the circulation of the company's shares in the U.S. market and plan for further financing in the future, but there is no new share issuance plan for the time being. ︽②miào︽②bi︽.*②Ge︽②,

Although Nokia's mobile phone sales were still in the millions in the past few years, Eric clearly remembers that in the next few years, with the rapid development of mobile communications and the popularization of communication tariffs, Nokia's mobile phone business will explode In 1998, Nokia not only successfully surpassed Motorola, but also took the lead in achieving the feat of accumulatively producing 100 million mobile phones.

Therefore, if Nokia needs to carry out the next financing plan, the best time is also after 1998.

Before that, Firefly Investment can still firmly control the absolute controlling stake of Nokia, and even if it is time for the next financing, with Nokia's outstanding performance, it will have enough confidence to issue new shares with low voting rights to prevent the company from issuing new shares with low voting rights. loss of control.

Although the listing of Nokia was very low-key, and even Eric just made a few phone calls in Australia to congratulate him and did not attend in person, the market was still very enthusiastic about the listing of Nokia shares in the United States.

With the high performance expectations of major investment institutions for Nokia in 1996, the stock price of Nokia soared by 8.1% on the day of listing, and the market value easily reached 6.8 billion US dollars. It also more than tripled the value of Eric's $420 million investment three years ago.

On the other hand, AOL is also a very important pawn in Eric's industrial layout.

Although he did not attend Nokia's listing ceremony, since he returned from Australia ahead of schedule, Eric flew directly to New York to participate in the US online IPO event.
