Looks monitor screen that is dark, Eric does not have to be relaxed. 望着暗下来的显示器屏幕,艾瑞克的心情却一点也没有轻松下来。 The initial information industries alliance plan, Eric hoped separately holds the post of the Internet equipment provider and Internet service provider and role of Internet content provider by Cisco, AOL and Yahoo three, composed to be similar to PC industry Intel Microsoft the power-and-power union camp of Wintel alliance. 当初的信息产业联盟计划,艾瑞克希望分别由思科、美国在线和雅虎三家担任互联网设备提供商、互联网服务提供商和互联网内容提供商的角色,组成类似于PC产业英特尔-微软的Wintel联盟的强强联合阵营。 Now, loses AOL, the information industries alliance plan that initially made, was equal to that was interrupted around the middle. 现在,失去美国在线,当初制定的信息产业联盟计划,等于被拦腰截断了。 This is Eric in the recent years the biggest setback of bitter experience, even if then can leverage a 20 billion USD cash to come out using the AOL stock, is unable to make up for the information industries alliance plan to be destroyed loses. 这算是艾瑞克最近几年来遭遇的最大挫折,哪怕接下来能够利用美国在线的股票套现出一两百亿美元的现金出来,也无法弥补信息产业联盟计划遭到破坏的损失。 Must know, if can succeed to annex one of the North America current three big operators, consolidates oneself in the communication and market niche in network service, even if the Internet bubble bursts, but approaches along with being doomed of two-way charges for cellular phones and age of the Internet, the AOL future market value can reach 1,000-2,000 hundred million USD scales as before with ease. 要知道,如果能够成功兼并北美目前的三大运营商之一,巩固自身在通信和网络服务方面的市场地位,即使互联网泡沫破裂,但随着移动通讯和互联网时代的注定来临,美国在线将来的市值依旧能够轻松达到一两千亿美元的规模。 But now, although AOL temporarily is the North America first Internet service provider, but, rising of AOL, has neglected the opportunities of some services while several big traditional operators completely. 但现在,虽然美国在线暂时是北美第一大互联网服务提供商,但是,美国在线的崛起,完全是趁着几大传统运营商忽略了这部分业务的机会。 Initially the North America major telecom operators did not favor the user to meet flowered dozens USD to purchase the high-speed broadband access every month, this made AOL seize completely the opportunity. 当初北美各大电信运营商都不看好用户会每个月花几十美元来购买高速宽带接入服务,这才让美国在线占尽了先机。 But the AOL flaw is also obvious, does not raise is doomed not to have what career development merely to be only an Internet media service of bubble tech concept, the fundamental telecommunications service that it involves is unitary, merely only then high-speed broadband access, other fixed telephone and two-way charges for cellular phones, cable TV and other services, AOL with enough time has not stepped, in the meantime, layout of AOL in infrastructure construction is also weak, some access equipment and line network even rents AT-T these traditional operators. 但美国在线的缺陷却也非常明显,不提注定没有什么发展前途仅仅只是一种泡沫化科技概念的互联网传媒业务,它涉及的基础电信业务非常单一,仅仅只有高速宽带接入服务一项,另外的固定电话、移动通讯、有线电视等业务,美国在线都还没来得及涉足,同时,美国在线在基础设施建设方面的布局也非常薄弱,一些接入设备和线路网络甚至还是租用AT-T这些传统运营商的。 Can want to see, once AT-T, Verizon and even Sprint these powerful traditional telecom operators responded that accumulates as well as the far ultra AOL infrastructure network by the abundant user group that themselves had, only needed the measure that adopted some to tie up in disguised form and so on, can snatch with ease from the AOL hand the network user. 可以想见,一旦AT-T、Verizon乃至Sprint这些实力雄厚的传统电信运营商反应过来,凭借它们自身拥有的雄厚用户群积累以及远超美国在线的基础设施网络,只需要采取一些变相捆绑之类的措施,就能够轻松将网络用户从美国在线手中抢过来。 In this process, the AOL only opportunity, while the opportunity that the stock price slight increases, uses a stockholder's rights merger and acquisition annexation established telecom operator in reversal of roles, this can keep own profession status under the big background that the next few years Internet bubble will burst. 这个过程中,美国在线唯一的机会,就是趁着股价高企的时机,反客为主地利用股权并购方式吞并其中一家老牌电信运营商,这样才能够在未来几年互联网泡沫破裂的大背景下维持自身的行业地位。 However, now all these plans are doomed into the bubble. 不过,现在这一切计划都注定成为泡影。 AOL chooses the development path in Internet media company, next two years, once the Internet bubble bursts, this company will be doomed to fall into The Abyss. 美国在线选择走互联网传媒公司的发展道路,未来两年,一旦互联网泡沫破裂,这家公司注定会跌入深渊。 Although next two years of AOL and Yahoo as before maintain the cooperation, but the so profound barrier has formed, both sides are doomed to be seemingly agreed but actually at variance. 虽然未来两年美国在线与雅虎依旧会保持合作,但如此深刻的隔阂已经形成,双方注定会貌合神离。 Yahoo also was very in a short time difficult to find one again in the partner who the foundation services area can cooperate tacitly. 雅虎短时间内也很难再找到一个在基础服务领域可以默契合作的伙伴。 But in any event, something must be done. 但无论如何,一些事情还是必须做下去。 Because the North America traditional telecom operator has dozens over a hundred years of history, the big company gets sick is serious, arrives regarding the new technical the promoted speed of technology and services area slowly make the blood boil, otherwise AOL does not have the opportunity to achieve the present market niche. 北美的传统电信运营商由于都有着几十上百年的历史,大公司病非常严重,对于新科技技术和服务领域的推广速度迟钝到令人发指,要不然美国在线也没有机会达到现在的市场地位。 Wish makes these traditional operators follow the step of Yahoo this type of new science company, the only method thoroughly grasps it in the hand. 想要让这些传统运营商跟上雅虎这种新科技公司的步伐,唯一的方法就是将其彻底掌握在手中。 Takes up the folder on tabletop, besides just convened the document that the conference call uses, in the folder also has several AT-T, Verizon and materials of Sprint these three big North America telecom operators. 拿起桌面上的文件夹,除了刚刚召开视频会议用到的文件,文件夹里还有几份AT-T、Verizon和Sprint这三大北美电信运营商的资料。 Read a while silent, the Eric attention fell on Sprint finally. 沉默地翻看了一会儿,艾瑞克的注意力最终还是落在了Sprint身上。 AT-T and Verizon in fact are the companies that initially Bell system split. AT-T和Verizon实际上都是当初贝尔体系分裂出来的公司。 By the Eric present accumulation of capital, AT-T was do not think. 以艾瑞克现在的资本积累,AT-T是根本不要想了。 This established telecommunication giant current market value of broke through 100 billion USD, with by the Internet enterprise that compared with the new technical bubble blows, seems like is too not high, but in the next few years, along with the emerging of two-way charges for cellular phones and Internet service, the AT-T market value will rise rapidly doubled and re-doubled, even if the Internet bubble bursts, but the market in this aspect has formed, the AT-T market value will not fall too. 这家老牌电信巨头目前的市值就已经突破了1000亿美元,与被新科技泡沫吹起来的互联网企业相比,看似不算太高,但未来几年,随着移动通讯和互联网业务的兴起,AT-T的市值将会迅速成倍上涨,即使互联网泡沫破裂,但这方面的市场已经形成,AT-T的市值也不会下跌太多。 Moreover, because long time occupied North America about 70% telecom market shares, AT-T almost every can encounter a anti- monopoly investigation after a period of time, initiates the purchase to it, can be very low through the possibility that the supervisory department examines and approves. 而且,由于长时间占据了北美将近70%的电信市场份额,AT-T几乎每过一段时间都会遭遇一番反垄断调查,向其发起收购,能够通过监管部门审批的可能性很低。 What is more important, the AT-T multiplex degree is serious, the service is all-embracing to the communication base depot from the fixed telephone to the cable TV from the cell phone, such company does not meet the Eric demand. 更重要的是,AT-T的多元化程度非常严重,旗下业务从手机到通讯基站从固定电话到有线电视无所不包,这样的公司并不符合艾瑞克的需求。 Although the Verizon strength falls behind a AT-T big truncation, but, its current stock price and profit situation very bright eye, in an enterprise state of operation very splendid situation, this company Board of Directors and management is willing to agree that accepts the possibility of annexation or purchase is low. Moreover, Verizon exists similarly with AT-T similar excessive multiplex disease. Verizon的实力虽然落后AT-T一大截,不过,它目前的股价和盈利状况都非常亮眼,在一家企业经营状况非常出色的情况下,这家公司董事会和管理层肯同意接受兼并或收购的可能性非常低。而且,Verizon同样存在着与AT-T类似的过度多元化的弊病。 Compares, in three traditional telecom operators, takes the Sprint possibility to be highest. 相比起来,三家传统电信运营商中,拿下Sprint的可能性最高。 First, the Firefly investment had the Sprint Corporation 10% stocks, in the future purchase process, as the shareholder, Firefly can exert the influence to Sprint Board of Directors directly. 首先,萤火虫投资已经拥有了Sprint公司10%的股份,将来的收购过程中,作为股东,萤火虫可以直接对Sprint董事会施加影响。 Next, because initially detained the note mobile communication, the Sprint expenditure large amount of money pats North America to surpass 50% mobile communication frequency spectrum photograph from the United States Federal Communications Commission hand, this company future business development center of gravity also conforms to the anticipation of Eric, so long as in the future Sprint can concentrate on the business development of mobile communications and broadband service these two big domains, even if unable to overtake AT-T, surpasses Verizon is not the too difficult matter. 其次,由于当初押注移动通信,Sprint花费巨资从美国联邦通讯委员会手中拍下了北美超过一半的移动通信频谱拍照,这家公司未来的业务发展重心也符合艾瑞克的期待,将来Sprint只要能够专注于移动通信和宽带服务这两大领域的业务发展,即使无法追上AT-T,超过Verizon并不是太难的事情。 Finally, because detains the note mobile service, the Sprint earlier period investment is oversized, the state of operation recent has been barely satisfactory, stock price also frequently major rises. 最后,还是因为押注移动通信业务,Sprint前期投入过大,最近几年的经营状况一直差强人意,公司股价也经常大起大落。 In situation that in the new technology corporation stock price rises in abundance large scale, the Sprint current market value just achieved 30 200 million USD. 在新科技企业股价纷纷大幅度上扬的情况下,Sprint目前的市值才刚刚达到302亿美元。 Moreover, the mobile service wants to rise thoroughly, but also takes several years, this also gave the Eric enough setup time, Eric has also needed to wait for one to two years to get rid again, after all, in recent years, came under the influence of new technical tide, is much higher with the stock price that the new tech field touched on slightly. 而且,移动通信业务想要彻底崛起,还需要几年时间,这也给了艾瑞克足够的准备时间,艾瑞克也需要再等一到两年才能出手,毕竟,最近几年,受到新科技浪潮的影响,所有与新科技领域沾边的公司股价都高得离谱。 Before the new technical bubble burst, Eric does not plan to acquire any company. 在新科技泡沫破裂之前,艾瑞克不打算收购任何一家公司。 After the Internet bubble bursts, wants to purchase Sprint, will be easier. Takes Sprint, not only can build the information industries alliance plan, but, but can also give dual attention to the layout of Eric to mobile communication industry while convenient. 互联网泡沫破裂之后,想要收购Sprint,也会更加容易。拿下Sprint,不但可以重新搭建信息产业联盟计划,而且,还可以顺便兼顾艾瑞克对移动通信产业的布局。 Nokia or Qualcomm, started to test the third-generation mobile communications network, was afterward 3 G, according to the progress in various aspects, it is expected that around 2000, the 3 G network of European and American countries will be in the practical application stage, even if the smartphone in plan also took several years to promote, but the Firefly electron can definitely attempt to introduce the 3 G edition using the Sprint network the tablet PC. 无论是诺基亚还是高通,都已经开始测试第三代移动通讯网络,也就是后来的3G,按照各方面的进度,预计2000年前后,欧美各国的3G网络就将进入实际应用阶段,即使计划中的智能手机还需要几年时间才能推广,但萤火虫电子完全可以利用Sprint的网络尝试推出3G版本的平板电脑。 Eric sits in the study room was considering these matters, in the villa downstairs living room, Carolyn sits on the sofa is glancing through magazine careless, often looks up a stairway. 艾瑞克坐在书房里考虑着这些事情,别墅楼下客厅里,卡洛琳坐在沙发上漫不经心地翻阅着一本杂志,不时抬头望一眼楼梯口。 Meyer walks from a nearby living room, in the hand is taking a folder, goes to the living room, saw exactly Carolyn turns head to look to the appearance of stairway. 梅耶尔从旁边的一间起居室里走出来,手里拿着一本文件夹,来到客厅,恰好看到卡洛琳扭头望向楼梯口的模样。 Sits down by Carolyn, Meyer also followed the Carolyn vision to look at one, said: „Immediately on nine o'clock, Eric didn't have?” 在卡洛琳旁边坐下,梅耶尔也顺着卡洛琳的目光看了一眼,道:“马上就九点钟了,艾瑞克还没下来吗？” Carolyn nods, sees the blue folder in Meyer hand, asked: „Last week North America Box Office data?” 卡洛琳点点头,看到梅耶尔手中的蓝色文件夹,问道:“上周的北美票房数据？” „Yes,” Meyer hands over the folder, said: „Or, you give Eric.” “是啊,”梅耶尔将文件夹递过来,道:“要不,你上去送给艾瑞克吧。” Carolyn receives to open, in the folder is several pages binds the good data file. 卡洛琳接过来翻开,文件夹里是几页装订好的数据文件。 After the first weekend three days add 836 50,000 USD of late show, since the working day, the «The Matrix 2» four days of time receive 3011 ten thousand USD Box Office again, eventually first week Box Office achieves 100 million 13 160,000 USD. 首周末三天加午夜场的8365万美元之后,进入工作日,《黑客帝国2》四天时间再收3011万美元票房,最终首周票房达到1亿1316万美元。 Although has surpassed reluctantly for two weeks ago 100 million 1174 ten thousand USD Box Office of «The Day After Tomorrow» first week, but «The Matrix 2» working day Box Office actually lowered about 7 million USD compared with «The Day After Tomorrow», this probably is also the «The Matrix 2» strong bean noodles attribute inferiority. With the support of large quantities of bean noodles, the «The Matrix 2» late show and first weekend three days of Box Office is strong, but since the working day, the Box Office upsurge actually rapidly cools. 虽然勉强超过了两周前《后天》首周的1亿1174万美元票房,但《黑客帝国2》的工作日票房却比《后天》低了将近700万美元,这大概也是《黑客帝国2》强粉丝属性的劣势。在大批粉丝的支持下,《黑客帝国2》的午夜场和首周末三天票房都非常强势,但进入工作日,票房热潮却迅速冷却下来。 Considered that the reputation of «The Matrix 2» polarization, in the next several weeks, the decline range of movie definitely will surpass «The Day After Tomorrow». Since the first week has not widened the obvious disparity, then, «The Matrix 2» North America total Box Office wants to surpass «The Day After Tomorrow», is actually not that easy matter. 考虑到《黑客帝国2》两极分化的口碑,未来几周,影片的跌幅肯定会超过《后天》。既然首周没有拉开明显的差距,那么,《黑客帝国2》的北美总票房想要超过《后天》,却也不是那么容易的事情。 Reads the document in hand, thinks that Carolyn said: „Today, today do not look at these to Eric, he sadly.” 看完手中的文件,想了想,卡洛琳道:“今天,今天还是不要给艾瑞克看这些了,他心情不好。” Meyer also expressed the approval, in the recent several days, Eric, although has not had a fit of temper to anybody, but all people can feel the Eric that strong indignant and disappointment. 梅耶尔也表示认可,最近几天,艾瑞克虽然没有对任何人发脾气,但所有人都能够感觉到艾瑞克那种强烈的气愤和失望情绪。 Meyer even therefore faintly were in secret many to Eric some admirations, his such is the high-ranking also should the young and impetuous person, can maintain the restraint was not venting anger anybody, this is not the average person can achieve absolutely. 梅耶尔私下里甚至因此隐隐对艾瑞克多了些钦佩,他这样一个身居高位同时也本应该年轻气盛的人,能够一直保持着克制地不迁怒任何人,这绝对不是普通人能够做到的。 Naturally, in the mind also always remembers London that night, then unavoidably some bitterly. 当然,脑海里也总是想起伦敦的那个夜晚,然后就不免有些恨恨。 Hateful fellow. 可恶的家伙。 Talked over one at heart again, Meyer looks to Carolyn, although that depressing result is this girl causes that night in the final analysis at present, but Meyer is actually not able to vent anger to Carolyn on, she has Eric such restraint strength actually, but, such treated people to the extreme girl sincere, nobody will be cruel enough to put the blame on any mistake probably to her on. 心里再次念叨了一句,梅耶尔又看向卡洛琳,虽然那天晚上那个让人沮丧的结果归根结底是眼前这个女孩引起的,但梅耶尔却也丝毫无法迁怒到卡洛琳身上,她倒不是有着艾瑞克那样的克制力,只是,这样一个待人真挚到极点的女孩,大概没什么人会忍心将任何过错归咎到她身上吧。 Two females sit in living room chat, after a while, in the staircase hears the sound of footsteps finally, Eric walks, they together have then stood. 两女坐在客厅里聊着天,过了一会儿,楼梯上终于传来脚步声,艾瑞克走下来,她们便一起站了起来。 Eric has not said anything with two females, said directly: „We walk, Peter should wait for us.” 艾瑞克没有和两女说什么,直接道:“我们走吧,彼得应该在等着我们了。” Today is on Saturday, but, New Zealand does not have the California such harsh labor protection law, weekend shoots has not stopped, naturally, eventually is in the weekend, the dramatic team does not have an outdoor scene, but some shoots principal roles scattered indoor scene plays in the shoots base in Huanghou Town. 今天是周六,不过,新西兰却远没有加州那样苛刻的劳工保护法律,周末的拍摄并没有停止,当然,终究是周末,剧组也没有出外景,而是在皇后镇的拍摄基地内拍摄一些主要角色的零散内景戏。 Couple days ago the dramatic team in being on location, as a result of the AOL matter, Eric could not extract the time and dramatic team visits shoots to the location together, but other evening's Peter when Jackson returned to Huanghou Town, Eric and opposite party discussed shoots of trilogy entered the progress, and with being in some «The Lord of the Rings» Actor of New Zealand convened small party. 前几天剧组一直在出外景,由于美国在线的事情,艾瑞克抽不出时间和剧组一起到外景地参观拍摄,只是等晚上彼得・杰克逊回到皇后镇时,艾瑞克和对方一起讨论了一番三部曲的拍摄进进度,并与身在新西兰的部分《魔戒》演员召开了一次小小的派对。 The «The Lord of the Rings» trilogy altogether has about 40 to select a scene, is found in the New Zealand north and south two islands. 《魔戒》三部曲一共有将近40个取景地,遍布新西兰南北两岛。 At present the actor's pay of Bei Dao has basically completed, the dramatic team moved to Huanghou Town from Wellington last month. 眼下北岛的戏份已经基本完成,剧组上个月才从惠灵顿搬到皇后镇。 Although at this time exactly is the winter of New Zealand, but because is four sides the temperate zone marine climate in seaside, the low temperature of south island has not caused anything to affect to shoots. The entire south island cannot see many winter signs, except for the nearby year to year by the snowy mountain that the snow covers, Huanghou Town these down countries, as before is a sight of green. 虽然此时恰好是新西兰的冬天,但由于是四面临海的温带海洋性气候,南岛的低温并没有对拍摄造成什么影响。整个南岛也看不出多少冬天的迹象,除了附近常年被积雪覆盖的雪山,皇后镇这些平原地带,依旧是一片绿意。 The dramatic team built several scale not too big movie studios to take the shoots base in Huanghou Town, mainly to coordinate some scenes of south island. The main shoots base of movie also in the Wellington of Bei Dao, including Firefly digital domain New Zealand Subsidiary company that sets up in Wellington. 剧组在皇后镇搭建了几座规模并不算太大的摄影棚作为拍摄基地,主要是为了配合南岛的一些场景。影片的主要拍摄基地还在北岛的惠灵顿,包括萤火虫在惠灵顿设立的数字领域新西兰分公司。 The «The Lord of the Rings» special effect is mainly responsible for by digital domain Australia Subsidiary company and New Zealand Subsidiary company, Australian Subsidiary company mainly manufactures the CG special effect part, New Zealand Subsidiary company is mainly responsible for the movie the massive stage prop and model manufacturing. As for once Vita numerical code, naturally will again not appear now, but, Australian Subsidiary company and New Zealand of Subsidiary company digital domain, basically also enjoys the treatment that once Vita numerical code can enjoy. 《魔戒》的特效主要由数字领域澳洲分公司和新西兰分公司负责,澳洲分公司主要制作CG特效部分,新西兰分公司主要负责影片的大量道具和模型制作。至于曾经的维塔数码,现在自然也不会再出现,不过,数字领域的澳洲分公司和新西兰分公司,基本上也享受着曾经维塔数码能够享受的待遇。 Reason that the Vita numerical code in original space and time can with Industrial Light & Magic and digital domain shoulder to shoulder, not be the special effect technology of this company splendid, Vita numerical code is mainly cheap enough, the performance-to-price ratio based on guarantee special effect quality is high. 原时空中的维塔数码之所以能够与工业光魔、数字领域等并肩,并不是这家公司的特效技术有多出色,主要还是维塔数码足够便宜,在保证特效质量的基础上性价比非常高。 Eric is bringing Carolyn and Meyer leaves the residence in resort together, went by car less than ten minutes to rush to the dramatic team in the movie studio of Huanghou Town. 艾瑞克带着卡洛琳和梅耶尔一起离开度假村的居所,坐车不到十分钟就赶到了剧组在皇后镇的摄影棚。 Enters in the busy movie studio, Peter Jackson is directing shoots to protect to abstain the fighting play of squad and beast person, around the movie studio is the green curtain and background pattern of stage prop union. 进入忙碌的摄影棚内,彼得・杰克逊正指挥着拍摄护戒小队与兽人的一场打斗戏,摄影棚四周是绿幕与道具结合的布景格局。 The «The Lord of the Rings» series pay great attention to the solid racket actually, the dramatic team, basically will not use the CG special effect unless it is absolutely essential, this can distinguish with ease from the content of «The Lord of the Rings» trilogy, Eric thinks that does not understand why afterward many people liked taunting Peter Jackson piles CG crazily. 《魔戒》系列其实非常注重实拍,剧组不到万不得已,基本上不会使用CG特效,这从《魔戒》三部曲的内容上就可以轻松分辨出来,艾瑞克想不明白为什么后来很多人喜欢嘲讽彼得・杰克逊狂堆CG。 Let alone, so long as can achieve enough splendidly, CG instead can the visual sense that the person shocks. 更何况,只要能够做到足够出色,CG反而更能够给人震撼的视觉感官。 Peter that has not disturbed bustle about Jackson, Eric with acting Gandalf's United Kingdom Actor Ian Maclane chats at will, Actor of several other rests gradually have also encircled, but Nicole and Diane the Kruger two female actor's pays already completed, now in New Zealand, the dramatic team majority is not the male. 没有打扰正在忙碌的彼得・杰克逊,艾瑞克与扮演甘道夫的英国演员伊恩・麦克莱恩随意地聊着天,其他几个休息的演员也逐渐围了过来,只是妮可和黛安・克鲁格两女的戏份早已完成,现在都不在新西兰,剧组大部分都是男性。 When probably more than ten minutes, Peter Jackson finished shoots, after announcing the short rest, walked to Eric. 等了大概十多分钟,彼得・杰克逊才结束一段拍摄,宣布短暂休息后,向艾瑞克这边走过来。 Has greeted, Peter Jackson kindly asked: „Eric, that side situation how?” 打过招呼,彼得・杰克逊就关切地问道:“艾瑞克,那边的情况怎么样了？” „Was solves temporarily,” Eric does not want to discuss that has complied with one simply. “算是暂时解决了吧,”艾瑞克不想多谈,简单的应了一句。 The Eric person in New Zealand, the matter that AOL has publicity, Eric in New Zealand, Peter although Jackson concentrates on «The Lord of the Rings» shoots, but is impossible not to pay attention to this matter. 艾瑞克人在新西兰,美国在线发生的事情已经人尽皆知,艾瑞克又在新西兰,彼得・杰克逊虽然专注于《魔戒》的拍摄,但也不可能注意不到这件事。
