Meyer is the person who does not like the wet weather very much, therefore, when she feels raining when can have that light smell of earth that quick has opened the eye from the sleep. 梅耶尔是个很不喜欢下雨天的人,于是,当她感觉到下雨时才会有的那种淡淡的土腥味时,就很快从睡梦中睁开了眼睛。 The window to flat roof is drawing the curtain screen, actually can still feel that the dreariness of out of the window weather, obviously is raining. 通往露台的落地窗拉着帘子,却依然能够感觉到窗外天色的阴郁,显然是在下着雨。 Hazy the moment, Meyer fiercely sat from the bed sets out, takes up wrist watch on the headstock to look at the eye, is 7.4 15. Although Eric says today not any specially important matter, but she knows one rested excessively. 迷蒙了片刻,梅耶尔就猛地从大床上坐起身,拿起床头柜上的腕表看了眼,已经是7.415分。虽然艾瑞克说今天没有什么特别重要的事情,但她还是知道自己睡过头了。 Barefoots to enter the bathroom, Meyer has pushed the toothpaste, stands by washstand, met some water just to rinse the end opening with the cup, when noted front in the toilet glass the cheeks to bring some just to awake light blood flushes blonde, she stayed. 赤着脚走进浴室,梅耶尔挤了牙膏,站在盥洗台旁,用杯子接了些水刚刚漱了下口,注意到面前梳妆镜里脸颊带着些刚睡醒时淡淡潮红的金发女郎,她不由呆了呆。 Last night has had supper in the Minjiang River dining room, with Eric returned to the villa, Meyer to think that will have anything, must know when Eric liked her putting on that set of flame one-piece dress appearance obviously, but the result was anything has not actually occurred. 昨晚在岷江餐厅吃过晚餐,和艾瑞克一起回到别墅,梅耶尔本以为会发生些什么,要知道艾瑞克明显是非常喜欢她穿着那套火红色连衣裙时的模样的,但结果却是什么都没有发生。 Not talking clearly is rejoices or loses. 说不清是庆幸还是失落。 Meyer is the person who stronger very much, she hopes to rely on own ability completely the career prospects that oneself want. However, Boss of oneself that loose temper has not had any thoughts to her unexpectedly, this was makes Meyer have a small frustration unavoidably, she did not repel and Eric actually has anything, after all, this world several women can resist Eric such to make all looking up to feel the desperate person sufficiently. 梅耶尔是一个很要强的人,她还是希望完全凭借自身能力得到自己想要的职业前途的。但是,自己那个风流性子的老板竟然没有对她产生什么心思,这还是难免让梅耶尔产生了一丝小小的挫败感,她心里其实并不排斥和艾瑞克发生些什么,毕竟,这世界又有几个女人能够抗拒艾瑞克那样足以让所有仰望者感到绝望的人呢。 Small intertwining of moral nature will make her toss about on the bed last night for a long time, otherwise now will not have rested excessively. 心底的小纠结让她昨晚在床上翻来覆去了好久,要不然现在也不会睡过头。 After washing, has changed one set of daily black career suit, thinks that she adds necklace that a banding the silver diamond has been hanging to fall, then goes out of the room. 洗漱过后,换了一套日常的黑色职业套装,想了想,她还是加了一条带着银色菱形吊坠的项链,然后才走出房间。 Eric has gotten out of bed, is sitting in downstairs living room telephones, saw that Meyer appears, but nods gently, chatted several with the opposite, hangs the power failure words, sets out to say to her: „You get up exactly, we walk, Steve Kyes in the cafe in north side intersection I, we have the breakfast while convenient.” 艾瑞克已经起床,正坐在楼下客厅打电话,看到梅耶尔出现,只是轻轻点头,又和对面聊了几句,才挂掉电话,起身对她道:“你恰好起来,我们走吧,史蒂夫・凯斯在北边街口的咖啡厅等我,咱们顺便吃早餐。” Meyer has not responded that nodded, outward follows Eric. 梅耶尔还没反应过来,就已经点了点头,跟着艾瑞克朝外走。 Goes out of the villa, outside flutters the close fine rain, Eric is haunching a black umbrella, said: „Rain is not big, we used one on the line.” 走出别墅,外面飘着细密的雨丝,艾瑞克撑起一把黑伞,道:“雨不大,我们用一把就行了。” Meyer lifted the hand, wants to meet the umbrella, said: „Eric, making me come.” 梅耶尔抬了抬手,想要将雨伞接过去,道:“艾瑞克,让我来吧。” Eric shakes the head, says with a smile: „Does not use, this is London, I do not want to be accused the insufficient gentleman.” 艾瑞克摇摇头,笑道:“不用,这可是伦敦啊,我可不想被人指责不够绅士。” Meyer has to hide under the Eric umbrella obediently, but acts with constraint is maintaining the small distance. 梅耶尔只好乖乖地躲在艾瑞克伞下,但还是矜持的保持着小小的距离。 The garden avenue both sides are the tree shade of cover, the majority of fine rains kept off outside, but will have the water drop of big drop occasionally to drop from the leaf slit, Meyer had been hit several times by the water drop, has to depend toward Eric, occasionally will bump into his arm. Eric aura is very pale, Meyer actually felt that his cheeks give off heat gradually. 花园大街两侧是茂密的树荫,大部分雨丝都被挡在外面,但却有大滴的水珠偶尔会从树叶缝隙中滴落,梅耶尔被水珠击中了几次,就只好朝艾瑞克这边靠了靠,偶尔会碰到他的手臂。艾瑞克身上的气息很淡,梅耶尔却感觉自己的脸颊逐渐发热。 The Kensington garden avenue south side is the Kensington main road, the north side is Bess Walt main road, Steve Kyes telephone said other people in the Diana cafe in north side intersection. They left the mansion, walks to north along the garden avenue, several minutes left the garden avenue. 肯辛顿花园大街南边是肯辛顿大道,北边是贝斯沃特大道,史蒂夫・凯斯电话里说他人在北边街口的戴安娜咖啡厅里。两人出了豪宅,沿着花园大街向北走,几分钟就出了花园大街。 Possibly is Saturday morning, reason that also rains, the vehicles stream of people on Bess Walt main road are miserable, Eric leads Meyer to pass through the street, saw very much easily has the red shop front repair cafe. 可能是周六早上,又下着雨的缘故,贝斯沃特大道上的车辆人流都少得可怜,艾瑞克带着梅耶尔穿过街道,很轻易就看到一家有着红色门脸装修的咖啡厅。 Hears Steve Kyes said cafe name time, Eric felt somewhat strangely, entered the cafe, saw that on the wall hung many Diana pictures, Eric is understanding why here called ‚the Diana cafe’. 听到史蒂夫・凯斯说出咖啡厅名字的时候,艾瑞克就感觉有些奇怪,走进咖啡厅,看到墙壁上挂着很多戴妃照片,艾瑞克才明白过来这里为什么叫‘戴安娜咖啡厅’。 Diana now still live, the full world makes the charity well, does not know that has any relations with this cafe. 戴妃现在依然活的好好的,满世界做慈善,也不知道和这家咖啡厅有什么关系。 In the cafe has four guests at this time, a middle-aged couple, an old man, is Steve Kyes. 咖啡厅里此时只有四位客人,一对中年夫妇,一个老者,还有就是史蒂夫・凯斯。 Except for setting out toward Steve that Eric greeted Kyes, several other guests looked up Eric one, ate own thing, before that 50-60 years old old man took back the vision, slightly strangely has smiled toward Eric, making Eric feel somewhat bewilderedly. 除了起身朝艾瑞克打招呼的史蒂夫・凯斯,另外几位客人只是抬头看了艾瑞克一眼,就又自顾自地吃起了自己的东西,那个五六十岁的老头子收回目光前还略显古怪地朝艾瑞克笑了下,让艾瑞克感觉有些莫名其妙。 Steve Kyes and Eric grasped starting, the spoken language greeted politely: „Good morning, Eric.” 史蒂夫・凯斯与艾瑞克握了下手,言语客气地招呼道:“早上好,艾瑞克。” „Early, Steve,” Eric loosens the hand of opposite party, said: „This is Mary.” “早,史蒂夫,”艾瑞克松开对方的手,道:“这是玛丽。” Steve Kyes and Meyer has grasped starting, said: „Hello, Meyer Miss, we by means of the telephone.” 史蒂夫・凯斯又和梅耶尔握了下手,道:“你好,梅耶尔小姐,我们通过电话。” Meyer politeness with Steve Kyes greeted one, three people take a seat. In the cafe does not have the special service person, the shop owner is a fat middle-aged person, although has recognized Eric, actually very much acts with constraint greeted, inquired that Eric must eat anything. 梅耶尔礼貌地与史蒂夫・凯斯招呼了一声,三人落座。咖啡厅里没有专门的服务员,店主是一个胖胖的中年人,虽然认出了艾瑞克,却只是很矜持地打了声招呼,就询问艾瑞克要吃什么。 Three people have ordered the breakfast, when the shop owner leaves, the atmosphere fell into light deadlock. 三人点了早餐,等店主离开,气氛就陷入了淡淡的僵持。 These days, although Eric stays out, but AOL internal Running out of Time has actually been the degree of superheating. A side is to have the Firefly investment of massive AOL stock, a side rises to establish the distinguished service management for AOL, although both sides tacitly as far as possible are concealing this conflict, but the sense of smell keen media started more and more report this matter. 这段时间,艾瑞克虽然置身事外,但美国在线内部的暗战却已经达到了白热化的程度。一方是持有大量美国在线股份的萤火虫投资,一方是为美国在线崛起立下汗马功劳的管理层,双方虽然都非常默契地尽可能掩饰着这场争端,但嗅觉敏锐的媒体已经开始越来越多的报道这件事。 At this time, AOL had determined that will hold the temporary shareholders'meeting at the end of the month, that is also the final laying cards on the table time. 此时,美国在线已经确定将在月底召开临时股东大会,那也将是最终的摊牌时刻。 Silent moment, Steve Kyes opens the mouth to say finally first: „Eric, you must know, on the Internet is impossible only to have a media company, AOL to media industry growth, will not affect our Network Service Provider status. If can purchase Time Warner, AOL instead can on of many cable television operator, this can play very big help to Firefly, Metro Goldwyn Mayer and even the television service of Fox. I do not understand why very much you will persist in opposing these?” 沉默了片刻,史蒂夫・凯斯终于先开口道:“艾瑞克,你要知道,互联网上不可能只存在一家媒体公司的,美国在线向传媒行业发展,也不会影响到我们本身网络服务提供商的身份。如果能够收购时代华纳,美国在线反而可以多上一层有线电视运营商的这份,这对萤火虫、米高梅乃至福克斯旗下的电视业务都能起到很大的帮助。我很不明白你为什么会坚持反对这些？” Eric received one hot coffee from the shop owner hand, expressed gratitude, after the opposite party gives side Meyer one coffee get out of the way, is mixing front coffee, said: „Perhaps Steve, you thought that I to let Yahoo single hegemony such do, but in fact, I have not thought makes Firefly invest any company of becomes the Internet media company, Yahoo or AOL, I do not have this idea. The pure network media company does not have the future, the Internet is an extremely open platform , to continue ten multiple ten times of increase along with the network user, any network media company, is impossible to give the number to provide enough multiplex content by the user of 1 billion idea again, therefore, I am have hoped Yahoo and AOL become to the user provide the science company in service and platform, but is not the media company.” 艾瑞克从店主手中接过一杯热咖啡,道了声谢,等对方又递给里侧的梅耶尔一杯咖啡走开后,才搅动着面前的咖啡,说道:“史蒂夫,你或许觉得我是为了让雅虎一家独大才这么做的,但实际上,我没有想过让萤火虫投资旗下的任何一家公司成为互联网传媒公司,无论是雅虎还是美国在线,我都没有过这种想法。纯粹的网络传媒公司是没有前途的,互联网是一个极度开放的平台,随着网络用户继续十倍数十倍的增加,任何一家网络传媒公司,都不可能再给数以十亿计的用户提供足够的多元化内容,所以,我一直都是希望雅虎和美国在线成为给用户提供服务和平台的科技公司,而不是传媒公司。” Steve Sidong: „Although you said that but without a doubt, Yahoo, is AOL, is enjoying the advantage that the network media concept is bringing, not? Wall Street also similarly approves the Internet media stock now, under normal conditions, the judgment of Wall Street will not be wrong.” 史蒂夫・凯斯道:“虽然你是这么说,但毫无疑问,无论是雅虎,还是美国在线,都在享受着网络传媒概念带来的好处,不是吗？华尔街现在也同样更加认可互联网传媒股份,通常情况下,华尔街的判断还是不会错的。” „What Wall Street chase is only the Internet media concept brings the high stock price that once the bubble burst, they will only evade it to be inferior.” Eric shakes the head saying: „Therefore, if you come according to the Wall Street mentality, that result will be awful.” “华尔街追逐的只是互联网传媒概念带来的高股价,一旦泡沫破裂,他们只会避之不及。”艾瑞克摇头道:“所以,如果你按照华尔街的思路来走,那结果会非常糟糕。” „It seems like we are unable to convince absolutely each other,” Steve Kyes sighed, was staring at Eric earnestly, said: „Eric, I want to know, if end of the month shareholders'meeting, Firefly once is in unfavorable situation, how you do plan to do?” “看来我们是绝对无法说服彼此了,”史蒂夫・凯斯叹了口气,转而认真凝视着艾瑞克,道:“艾瑞克,我想知道,如果月底的股东大会,萤火虫一旦失利,你打算怎么做？” „Is this you catches up with the London real objective?” The Eric corners of the mouth show the smiling face, said: „You want to know that I can choose mutually wounded?” “这才是你赶来伦敦的真正目的吧？”艾瑞克嘴角露出笑容,道:“你想知道我会不会选择两败俱伤？” So-called stock, on the one hand is representing capital ‚stock’, on the other hand is also represents the manner ‚ticket’. The investors through buying up and selling to indicate their manner, therefore, has a company stockholder's rights share more, in buying up with sale process , the effect on this company is also bigger, this is the shareholder basic authority is. 所谓股票,一方面代表着资本的‘股’,另一方面也是代表态度的‘票’。投资人通过买入和卖出来表明自己的态度,因此,持有一家公司股权份额越多,在买入和卖出过程中,对这家公司的影响也就越大,这便是股东根本权力的所在。 As the first major stockholder, the AOL stock that the Firefly investment has, sufficiently the life and death in decision this company, therefore this time Steve Kyes so will be prudent. 作为第一大股东,萤火虫投资持有的美国在线股票,足以决定这家公司的生死存亡,所以此时的史蒂夫・凯斯才会如此慎重。 „If the Firefly investment chooses reckless, does not have the advantage to us, not?” “如果萤火虫投资选择不顾一切,对我们所有人都没有好处,不是吗？” Eric shakes the head, said: „This is uncertain, AOL broke down, I can continue to support one exactly to be able according to the company that the Firefly investment idea develops.” 艾瑞克摇摇头,道:“这可不一定,美国在线垮了,我恰好可以继续扶持一个可以按照萤火虫投资想法去发展的公司。” Even if although Firefly failed, Arien may not choose absolutely mutually wounded, but if at this time to Steve Kyes honest these, that was too silly. 虽然即使萤火虫失败了,艾瑞可也绝对不会选择两败俱伤,但此时如果向史蒂夫・凯斯坦诚这些,那就太傻了。 Really, hears the Eric words, Steve Kyes expression somewhat is immediately cloudy clearly uncertain. 果然,听到艾瑞克的话,史蒂夫・凯斯表情顿时就有些阴晴不定。 The shop owners came up three people of breakfast ends at this time exactly one after another. 店主这时候恰好将三人的早餐陆续端上来。 Steve Kyes did not have to keep and Eric has the breakfast together the interest, said to the shop owner: „Can help me pack the breakfast?” 史蒂夫・凯斯也没有了留下来和艾瑞克一起吃早餐的兴致,对店主道:“可以帮我把早餐打包一下吗？” „Naturally,” fat shop owner nods, is carrying Steve after Kyes's that breakfast returns, kitchen. “当然,”胖胖的店主点点头,端着史蒂夫・凯斯的那份早餐又返回后厨。 Eric has not prevented Steve Kyes's movement, thinks, said „in any event, Steve, brings AOL to today's profession status thank you.” 艾瑞克也没有阻止史蒂夫・凯斯的动作,想了想,还是道“无论如何,史蒂夫,谢谢你把美国在线带到今天的行业地位。” Steve Kyes does not like the Eric this vice- master expression, refuted in a soft voice: „AOL is also my, he like my child.” 史蒂夫・凯斯不太喜欢艾瑞克这副主人般的语气,轻声反驳道:“美国在线也是我的,他就像我的孩子。” Eric nods, said: „Yes, many fathers hope that the child defers to own idea to grow, regardless of their ideas really correct.” 艾瑞克点点头,又道:“是啊,很多父亲都希望孩子按照自己的想法去成长,无论他们的想法是不是真的正确。” Shop owners quickly Steve Kyes's breakfast pack is good, raises a bag to go out of the cafe, the weather of outdoors is as before dreary, the fine rain seemed to be closer, Steve Kyes has not opened an umbrella, arrives to stop quickly by Lincoln car of roadside, this is he occupies sending a vehicle of hotel. 店主很快将史蒂夫・凯斯的早餐打包好,提着一个袋子走出咖啡厅,户外的天色依旧阴郁,雨丝似乎更加细密了一些,史蒂夫・凯斯没有打伞,快步走到停在路边的一辆林肯轿车旁,这是他居住酒店的派车。 The drivers help him open vehicle door attentively, Steve Kyes boarded, when car starts, pulled out the cell phone to dial one string of numbers, after the connection, said: „Is I, Bob...... Yes, therefore, your side defers to the program delivery that we reach an agreement as soon as possible.” 司机殷勤地帮他拉开车门,史蒂夫・凯斯上了车,等汽车发动,就掏出手机拨了一串号码,接通后道:“是我,鲍勃……是的,所以,你那边尽快按照我们商量好的方案执行吧。” In cafe, Steve after Kyes leaves, Eric wanted one cup of milk, looks to side continuously somewhat absent-minded Meyer, asked kindly: „Was had not rested last night well?” 咖啡厅里,史蒂夫・凯斯离开后,艾瑞克又要了一杯牛奶,看向身旁一直有些心不在焉的梅耶尔,关切地问道:“是不是昨晚没有休息好？” Meyer thinks that Eric has ascertained own thoughts, had a scare, shakes the head to say hastily: „Does not have, no, good that very I rest.” 梅耶尔以为艾瑞克窥破了自己的心思,吓了一跳,连忙摇头道:“没,没有,我休息的很好。” Eric smiles, said: „It seems like has not rested, waits to go back to make up a sleep, we will go to that side the Viking phonograph record in the afternoon.” 艾瑞克笑笑,说道:“看来就是没有休息好了,等下回去可以补个觉,我们下午才会去维京唱片那边。” Meyer has not said anything again, but nodded. 梅耶尔没有再说什么,只是点了点头。 Eric is thinking the AOL matter at heart, does not have too to pay attention to the Meyer expression. 艾瑞克心里想着美国在线的事情,也没有太注意梅耶尔的表情。 They are having the breakfast leisurely, soon will finish time, the glass door of cafe was shoved open, a gentle female voice behind resounds in Eric. 两人慢条斯理的吃着早餐,即将结束的时候,咖啡厅的玻璃门被人推开,一个轻柔的女声在艾瑞克身后响起。 „I often here have the breakfast, Mai Qi, here food is good, the coffee is better.” “我经常在这里吃早餐呢,麦琪,这里的食物非常不错,咖啡更棒。” The intonation of female voice is very special, does not need to turn head, Eric has recognized the sound master, suddenly understands why here is hanging these many pictures of Diana. 女声的语调很特别,不用回头,艾瑞克就认出了声音的主人,突然明白过来这里为什么挂着这么多戴妃的照片。 When the person approaches, Eric slightly leaned being sideways, looked to a light blue women western-style clothes elegant Diana, said with a smile: „Cannot think that you like hanging all over oneself picture the place to eat meal, this may really be a strange fondness.” 等人走近,艾瑞克才微微侧了侧身,看向一身浅蓝色女式西服气质优雅的戴妃,笑道:“想不到你喜欢在挂满自己照片的地方吃饭,这可真是个古怪的癖好。” Western celebrity gives some friendship quite good stores to make commemorating own picture frequently, Eric this saying naturally teases. 西方名人经常将自己的照片送给一些交情比较好的商铺做纪念,艾瑞克这话自然只是调侃。 However, the fellow who suddenly emits had a scare Diana, the woman has covered covering mouth subconsciously, when recognizes is Eric, the pupil opens immediately, shows the panting in indignation expression to stare Eric not silently. 不过,突然冒出的家伙把戴妃吓了一跳,女人下意识捂了捂嘴,待认出是艾瑞克,眸子顿时睁大,一言不发地露出气呼呼的表情瞪着艾瑞克。 Side Diana puts on the woman of black long sleeve one-piece dress to go forward actually warmly two steps, greeted: „Hey, Eric, this may really be pleasantly surprised.” 倒是戴妃身旁穿着黑色长袖连衣裙的女人热情地上前两步,招呼道:“嘿,艾瑞克,这可真是让人惊喜。” Eric looks at Madonna, is somewhat accidental, sets out hastily, hugged with her, is taking a look on her the serious wear, but also is bringing an English virtuous young woman hat, cracks a joke saying: „Mai Qi, cannot think you have the well clothes time, this may really be rare.” 艾瑞克看着麦当娜,也有些意外,连忙起身,和她拥抱了下,打量着她身上一本正经的穿着,还带着一顶英式淑女帽,不由开玩笑道:“麦琪,想不到你也有正经穿衣服的时候,这可真是难得。” „Your this fellow, was really too unkind,” Madonna has not been angry, has hit on Eric with a smile gently, said: „Princess here, should not be disrespectful. However, can you here?” “你这家伙,真是太刻薄了,”麦当娜也没有生气,笑着在艾瑞克身上轻轻打了下,道:“王妃在这里呢,不要太失礼。不过,你怎么也会在这里？” Eric has referred to the opposite Kensington garden avenue, said with a smile: „I and princess, should be neighbors.” 艾瑞克指了指对面的肯辛顿花园大街,笑道:“我和王妃,应该算是邻居。” Diana responded at this time finally that was as before panting in indignation: „I should not be the neighbor with your this fellow.” 戴妃此时终于反应过来,依旧气呼呼道:“我才不要和你这种家伙做邻居。” The Eric innocent stall lets go: „Nà, possibly also a little misunderstands.” 艾瑞克无辜地摊摊手:“呐,可能还有点误会。” „Hehe,” Madonna smiled, mediates Meyer who the attention changes other one side, Eric also hastily introduced. “呵呵,”麦当娜笑了笑,打圆场地将注意力转向另外一边的梅耶尔,艾瑞克又连忙介绍了一番。 Looks that continues to Diana who oneself send the nice-looking wave flow attack, Eric not to continue to get down objectionably dull, similar that the breakfast also eats, then sets out to plan to leave. 看着持续向自己发出眼波流攻击的戴妃,艾瑞克也没有自讨没趣地继续呆下去,早餐也吃的差不多,便起身打算离开。 Just got to the shop entrance, Madonna remembers anything, actually pursued, asked: „Eric, said that tonight that party of Viking phonograph record, you definitely will participate, right?” 刚刚走到店门口,麦当娜想起什么,却又追了过来,问道:“艾瑞克,这么说,今晚维京唱片的那个派对,你肯定会参加的,对吧？” Eric nods, said: „Naturally, my this time comes mainly for this.” 艾瑞克点点头,道:“当然,我这次来主要就是为了这个。” „This is good, then we see in the evening,” Madonna was saying, the look toward behind has hinted, said: „Some matters I am very curious.” “这就好,那么我们晚上见,”麦当娜说着,眼神又朝身后示意了下,道:“有些事情我可是很好奇呢。” „Relax, I am anything will not tell you.” “放心,我是什么都不会告诉你的。” „This, something I may not plan to tell you,” Madonna has also made the threat look, said: „You the estimate must have troublesome.” “这样的话,有些事情我可就不打算告诉你了,”麦当娜也做了个威胁的眼神,道:“你这边估计要有麻烦了。”
