America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM...

Chapter 66, Section 67: The Olsen Sisters

After the contracts were changed, Eric and Elena both breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a huge weight lifted off their shoulders.

Not long ago, Elena illegally lent money to Eric by using the copyrights of AK Films, "Barbershop," and "Saw" as collateral.

That's hundreds of millions of dollars. Such a huge expenditure can't be kept secret for long, even for a senior manager like Elena.

According to her, there would be an audit at most once a month, and if the battle couldn't be resolved within a month, she would have to go to jail.

Fortunately, the plan to manipulate Hasbro's stock price went smoothly and was completed in less than two weeks. Eric's trip to New York was specifically for this purpose.

He originally didn't have enough collateral, but now it's different. He just acquired 16% of Hasbro's stock, which is enough for him to provide proof of an unsecured loan.

Was his behavior illegal? Perhaps it involves stock market manipulation.

But how can you make money without resorting to underhanded tactics?

Therefore, the richer you are, the richer you become, and the poorer you are, the more likely you are to be exploited.

Now that we've finished dealing with the important business, it's time to talk about something interesting.

Eric clinked glasses with Elena and took a sip of red wine. "By the way, what exactly did you mean by what you said in the car about your niece?"

"What? Are you itching to try it?" Elena grinned strangely.

Eric chuckled, crossing his legs. "That depends on their looks. How do they compare to you?"

"Hmph! You little rascal, you really don't hold back when you talk. Let me ask you, how would you rate me?"

"If you're talking about appearance, I'd give you 7.5 out of 10, but your mature and strong woman aura is a big plus, so it's 8 or higher."

The woman was quite satisfied with this answer. She clicked her tongue and chuckled, "Then you can look forward to it. They'll get at least an 8 out of 10. If you take into account their twin relationship and status, a 9 wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

"Twins? Born together?" Eric was somewhat surprised, having assumed they were just ordinary sisters.

Elena said in a teasing tone, "They are identical twins, separated by less than two minutes after birth, and they look very alike."

Upon hearing this, Eric's heart skipped a beat, and then he realized something, pointing at Elena and calling out her full name.

"Wait a minute. Elena Kara Olsen, your twin nieces aren't Ashley Olsen and Mary Olsen, are they?"

Elena looked at him with a smile, and although she didn't say a word, her teasing expression said it all.

Eric was both amused and impressed: "Although I know your last name is Olsen, to be honest, I never thought of it that way. This world is truly amazing."

Elena sighed, "Yes, those two sisters entered the entertainment industry at a young age, and even little Elizabeth entered it under the protection of her two older sisters, while I work in a bank. It's really like comparing apples and oranges."

"Ashley and Mary have been in New York lately, and as their aunt, I naturally wanted to treat them well. That's when I casually mentioned you, and the two girls expressed their desire to meet you."

Eric waved his hand: "Forget it, I think I'd better leave. People who come specifically to see me, or who go through connections to see me, must have something to ask of me. I don't want to get involved in that kind of trouble."

After saying that, he got up to leave, but Elena quickly stopped him.

"But I've already notified them, and the two children are on their way to the hotel. You can't leave!"

Eric clicked his tongue a few times and wagged his finger: "Madam, that's not up to you."

Seeing that Eric was about to head for the door, Elena had no choice but to pounce on him from behind. Although she wasn't fat, Eric was caught off guard and knocked down onto the sofa.

With a ripping sound, it seemed as if something was being pulled apart.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Auntie, it's me, Ashley, open the door!"

Hearing the sound, she glared at Eric, who shrugged innocently. "Big sister, it was you who took the initiative, okay?"

"Auntie, open the door quickly! It looks like reporters are following us."

Hearing her niece's call, Elena didn't even bother to fix her makeup and hurriedly opened the door to welcome the two girls in.

If the Olsen twins were photographed by paparazzi going to a hotel, the news would definitely be on the news that night.

After the two sisters came in, their eyes couldn't help but wander back and forth between the two women as they looked at their aunt's somewhat messy hair.

Eric's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the two beautiful young women in front of me, with long golden hair, curvaceous figures, and radiating youthful hormones...

He walked over and extended his hand: "Ashley, Mary, nice to meet you, Eric Cooper."

The Olsen sisters shook hands with him one by one: "Mr. Cooper, we've heard so much about you. You are indeed as handsome as you are in the media."

Eric chuckled. "Thanks, but I didn't expect the famous Olsen twins to be so unphotogenic."

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent instantly. The Olsen sisters stared blankly at the handsome man in front of them, momentarily speechless.

They grew up surrounded by praise, starting to act in TV dramas at 9 months old and starring in the hit drama "Family Portrait" at the age of 1.

They grew up alongside this TV series for eight years; they are the daughters of America, watched by the entire American people.

Everyone who meets them praises them for being beautiful, cute, and talented, but today they were ridiculed by this man they were meeting for the first time.

Although Eric was handsome and of higher status than them, he still made the Olsen sisters feel somewhat embarrassed and unable to bear it.

Elena looked at Eric with the same surprise, wondering if the little guy was uncomfortable because I had tricked him into coming.

But amidst the three women's surprised expressions, Eric continued, "Now I realize that those movies and magazines made you look terrible. The real Olsen sisters are even more dazzling. When you walked into this room, I felt as if I saw two shining stars."

The sudden turn almost strained Elena's back.

A single glance and a few words were enough to make the Olsen sisters burst into laughter.

Ashley Olsen, the older sister, flashed her clean, white teeth: "Mr. Eric, it seems those newspapers have understated your merits."

"What?"

"You have a good sense of humor."

Elena glared at him resentfully, thinking to herself that this guy had never been funny to her.

Looking at his two smiling nieces, he could only hope they wouldn't do anything foolish and fall into the trap this guy had woven.

Because this little guy has the same personality as her, if you want something from him, you have to pay an equal or even higher price.

It was like a deal with the devil, and he didn't even know if his nieces could afford it.
