Chapter 917 I'm Actually Lazy

Mulholland Drive almost traverses the entire Santa Monica Mountains, and two luxury cars parked quietly on the side of the road where the top of the mountain faces the sharp corner of Malibu.

It was already early in the morning. On the top of a hill near the road, Eric was lying on a camping mat, leaning on his arms and watching the sky gradually turn from gray to blue, and the surroundings were empty and silent. Although there was a meadow under him, the ground was not very flat. Aniston, who was leaning against his arms, instinctively searched for a more comfortable place, so he rubbed most of his body on him in his sleep.

Aniston's public collapse last night made Eric very guilty, so he let her vent the depression she had accumulated over the years as much as possible all night, and was pinched and bitten by her in the car. And was driven to wander the long Mulholland Road again.

It was already late at night when I came to the top of Malibu. Eric wanted to drive back to Jiaojiao Manor, but the chick shouted that he wanted to stay on the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. Eric naturally refused to do anything, so he asked the bodyguard to go back and get some Camping equipment and food, accompany the chick to climb to the top of the mountain, crying and arguing, saying tired, Aniston barely survived until after two o'clock in the morning before falling asleep.

Perhaps it was tempted by the smell of the food left over from last night, a little squirrel jumped out of the nearby bushes, picked up a small piece of chocolate, and greedily ate it. After eating in three or two times, he was naturally still unfinished, so he sniffed his little nose to search for it, and then burrowed into a snack pocket.

Eric just quietly watched the little guy steal food, but he didn't expect the little thing to be so 'defiant' that it squeaked through the packaging bag.

Worried that Aniston would be woken up, Eric carefully reached out and flicked the little thing's big furry tail. The frightened little guy jumped forward suddenly, and the movement was even bigger. He got out of the packaging bag, and fled for a long distance in a hurry. He stopped and looked back at Eric cautiously. Willing to leave here.

These movements suddenly appeared in the tranquil atmosphere, and the chick woke up.

After a short period of confusion, I recalled everything, remembering the situation where I tossed Eric with my temperament last night, and suddenly I regretted that I was too self-willed.

Not daring to look up to see Eric's reaction, Aniston's little hand stretched out from the blanket wrapped around the two of them, drilled in along the neckline of Eric's shirt, and touched the shoulder that he had bitten off last night. There was a clear touch from the fingertips, and there were even scabs formed after the blood flowed out.

Eric naturally stretched his arms around the chick's slender waist. The silk dress was still on her last night, and it felt very soft to the touch. Although he joked last night that he had a 90% chance of coaxing the chick back to bed, Eric didn't do anything.

However, feeling the chick's movements, Eric still habitually teased: "Why, you can't wait to take advantage of me when you wake up?"

The movement of Aniston's fingertips paused, but did not pull it back. He moved his body to lie on Eric's body, his face was pressed against his chest, listening to the strong heartbeat, he murmured, "Eric, I don't know what to do."

"If you don't know what to do, just put it aside and do what you can do."

Aniston wrinkled his nose again in anger: "Are you saying this kind of brainwashing to all the women around you?"

"No, you know, I'm really lazy."

"Hmm, I've been too lazy to come to me for six years."

"I thought you never wanted to see me again in your life."

"You are sophistry, you clearly know that I don't think so, that tie, that tie..."

"Heh, I remember that I received seven ties that day. Well, it should be seven, maybe eight."

"..." The little girl was speechless for a moment, then said bitterly, "I really want to bite you again."

The golden sunlight slowly spread over the two of them, and Eric rubbed the little girl's slender waist with his palm lightly, and said, "It's already dawn, let's go down the mountain, and you can bite slowly when you get home.

"

Aniston suddenly remembered something, sighed, looked around, moved to Eric's wrist and looked at the watch: "It's seven o'clock, where is this, I'm still filming today."

As the fall season is approaching, the new season of "Friends" has already started filming, Eric naturally knew about this, patted Aniston lightly, and said, "It doesn't matter, the bosses of the production company and the TV station are here. Here, without such a strong excuse for absenteeism, it would be too wasteful."

"I don't want to do this, but, um, I was like last night, they, they..." The little girl slumped on Eric again as she muttered.

Eric continued to hug the chick's soft body and said with a smile, "Yeah, what can I do, otherwise I will build a small wooden house here, and you will be secluded here in the future."

"You have so much money now, it's too stingy to build a small wooden house," the little girl said while rubbing her body "bargaining": "At least it should be a castle, like Hearst Castle."

"Hearst Castle has been built for thirty years. Old William Hearst didn't finish it all to the death. Are you sure you can wait that long?"

"Of course, I'm very patient."

"But I don't have that patience," Eric turned over with a smile and hugged Aniston, kissed the sweet cheek a few times, and said, "Okay, let's go, I just left last night. No one dares to make irresponsible remarks.”

Being suddenly pressed down by Eric, Aniston called out twice, responded to Eric's kiss, and unknowingly reached out and hugged his waist: "You, you guy, if you can be dedicated One point, he is the most perfect man in the world, why can't you be more specific?"

Eric leaned down again, kissed the chick on the lips, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to rate me so highly, but there is no such thing as a perfect person in this world," Eric said. After a pause, he put away his joking expression and said, "Also, you may already know that I already have two children."

Aniston nodded sadly, then forced a smile, mocking: "Of course I know, I also know that you named your daughter Hawaii, it's really, really messed up, and only a father like you can Will give children such a mess of names."

"What's wrong with Hawaii, I think it's fine."

"Hmph, it's not good at all, wait for me in the future, um..." Having said this, Aniston stopped immediately, his eyes dodged, and his face became red, making Eric unable to help but want to get together Go up and take a bite.

Eric nodded with a smile: "Of course, when we have a child in the future, I will definitely leave the name to you."

"Who wants, who wants to have a baby for you," Aniston said shyly with a small hand pushing Eric's head away.

"After what happened last night, do you think you can still find other men?"

"You, megalomaniac," Aniston glared at Eric in dissatisfaction, but when he remembered what happened last night, he suddenly became sad again, hugged Eric tightly in his hands, and murmured: "You guy, in the future, don't bully me again."

"Well, I promise."

"Don't make me sad again."

"no problem."

"Don't bring other women to me."

"it is good."

"Don't talk nonsense about us to others."

"must."

"Don't touch another woman."

"Uh...Come on, let's renegotiate from 'you guy'."

Aniston raised a small fist and hammered Eric on top of him, then leaned over in a blink of an eye, kissed Eric actively, and said, "Okay, you bastard, I didn't say the last one. Let's go down the mountain, I'm going to film."

"I just said it for real. If you take a few days off, I'll take you to New York Fashion Week and buy some beautiful clothes."

"No, the crew has already started work. Even if you don't care about money, I can't make everyone wait for me."

Seeing the girl's insistence, Eric had no choice but to give up. He pulled her to stand up and walked down the hillside. The things left here will naturally be cleaned up by bodyguards.

...

After leaving the Emmy Awards party last night, Eric just turned off his phone.

Down the hill and having breakfast with Aniston and dropping her off, Eric turned on his phone again, and it showed a long list of missed calls.

Although under the arrangement of Robert Iger and others, there is no news about the incident last night in today's newspapers, but what people around Eric should know and should not know, obviously already know.

After picking a few simple calls, Eric put it down and started the day's work step by step.

"The Black Roads" was a big win at last night's Emmy Awards, and while news like the Weinstein Brothers operating the Emmys is inevitable in today's media, because of the "Black Roads" itself Very good quality of the episodes, the remarks didn't make any waves.

However, ffm TV took advantage of this opportunity to announce that its second self-made new drama "Prison" will be launched in the near future, and at the same time, it has started the distribution of "Black Road Family" video tapes and DVDs.

In September, the summer vacation of North American college and primary school students basically came to an end. However, because North America does not have a unified summer schedule, the start time of each school is not the same.

Miranda Kerr has returned to Australia during the summer and is approaching the start of school recently. Can't help the girl's coquetry, Eric sent the Boeing 767 to Brisbane to pick her up back to Los Angeles. He planned to fly to New York after the Boeing 767 returned to Los Angeles. Eric received Larry Ellison from San Francisco. The phone call, the acquisition negotiation with Apple's board of directors was in the final stage, and the other party hoped that he could attend the final negotiation meeting in person, so Eric had to leave for San Francisco temporarily.

In San Jose, south of San Francisco, Eric left the San Jose airport with his entourage, and Larry Ellison, who was waiting outside, greeted him.

He put his arms around Eric's shoulders very familiarly, but Larry Ellison did not talk about the acquisition of Apple, but asked: "Eric, why is there no news about the hero of "Iron Man"? , I've been waiting to see which guy is lucky enough to have me as his driver?"

Eric ignored the guy's arrogant tone, got in the car brought by Larry Ellison, and said, "You'll know when filming starts next year."

"Hey, I paid $5 million, and if you don't get a role, I have the right to refuse ad placement."

The two cars left the parking lot one after another. Eric suddenly regretted not kicking this guy into the car behind him. He shook his head and said, "No, Larry, you don't have this power, the contract has already been signed."

Larry Ellison really hopes to show his face in a Hollywood blockbuster, but he still feels a little distressed about the 5 million people who were knocked out by Eric. , said: "Apple's chairman Ed Woolard and CEO Jill Amelio are already waiting for us at Apple headquarters in Palo Alto, Steve is there, and the price we finally negotiated is the average share price in the last week. At a premium of 15% on the basis, the transaction value is $2.45 billion.”

Eric made a rough calculation in his heart, the price is not too high, so he nodded and said, "Since you guys have already discussed it, what do you want me to do here, I think you can call Chris, my supporter is here. The shares will still be put under the banner of Firefly Investments.”

"I've called, Hansen seems to be very busy, and," Larry Ellison rubbed his hands, "there are some things, he said that it would be more effective for you to come."

Listening to the tone of Larry Ellison's words, Eric had a hunch that there was nothing good about them calling him here.

Sure enough, when he came to Apple's headquarters, Steve Jobs, who had obviously entered the state ahead of schedule, bluntly asked Eric to re-authorize the arm technology to Apple, and took out a large stack of documents to prove that Firefly Electronics was in the process of acquiring arm. Forcing Apple to give up on defaults on ARM chip technology.

In order to develop the mobile chip of the Newton tablet computer, Apple specially invested 5 million US dollars in ARM and became one of the major shareholders of ARM.

After Firefly Electronics acquired arm company, arm company has gradually withdrawn or stopped licensing arm chip technology. After several years of operation, only Nokia, Qualcomm and Firefly Electronics itself, the parent company, are the only companies that have authorized arm chip technology.

In the conference room, Eric rummaged through a pile of documents in front of him with a half-smile and looked at Steve Jobs: "Steve, you asked me to come here just for this trivial matter?"

"Of course it's more than that," Steve Jobs swept the conference room and pointed to the seven or eight Apple directors around him: "I demand that after the deal close, they all resign, and you must also promise not to interfere with Apple's business. any business."

Eric noticed that everyone looked at Steve Jobs with the look of a madman, and then looked at himself as if asking for help, some crying and laughing: "You asked me to support you, drive these people away, and then you still have to ask for help. Do you think this kind of thing makes sense to kick me out of the decision-making level?"

Steve Jobs said with a straight face: "This is my condition for returning to Apple."

Eric shrugged, looked at everyone, and said, "In this case, you should all resign."

Apple CEO Ed Wollard was a little excited: "Eric, you can't do this."

Eric had a smile on his face, propped up his hands on the large conference table, and said with a somewhat joking tone, "You have seen it too, working with a lunatic is not interesting at all, maybe it's Apple. Heaven is going to go bankrupt, and the situation when you leave will be even more embarrassing. So, leave now, so that you will receive no less than a cent of your termination compensation."

The decision to sell Apple as a whole has been approved by the shareholders' meeting, and although they are still Apple's directors, it is impossible for them to mess up the deal in order to hold this position.

Although Larry Ellison was apparently the leader of this acquisition of Apple, many of the capital forces involved in the investment were only motivated by Firefly Investment's optimism about Apple.

As the core of the Firefly system, Eric himself has a stronger voice than Larry Ellison and Steve Jobs combined. Everyone thought that when Eric came, he would stop Jobs from such a mess. He didn't expect him to react like this, and the last hope in his heart was also shattered.

However, several of the directors also felt that Eric was right. Although there was still a bit of unwillingness in his expression, he still nodded in agreement. Seeing this situation, several other people reluctantly agreed.
