Has compared with the traveling schedule that various aspects work before other, the scheduled New Zealand program is most relaxed. 和之前其他有着各方面工作的行程相比,预定中的新西兰日程原本是最轻松的。 Eric to Peter Jackson has the full confidence, did not plan that meddles anything to shoots of «The Lord of the Rings» series. 艾瑞克对彼得・杰克逊有着充分的信心,并不打算对《魔戒》系列的拍摄插手什么。 This time catches up, plans to experience the «The Lord of the Rings» trilogy purely personally the shoots process, simultaneously relaxes well. Once returns to Los Angeles, begins shooting as well as the post production of «Iron Man» along with «Gravity», will then be several months busy. 这次赶过来,纯粹只是打算亲自体验一下《魔戒》三部曲的拍摄过程,同时好好放松一下。一旦返回洛杉矶,随着《地心引力》开拍以及《钢铁侠》的后期制作,接下来又将是连续几个月的忙碌。 The AOL matter destroyed the anticipation of Eric trip to New Zealand thoroughly. 只是,美国在线的事情彻底破坏了艾瑞克对新西兰之行的期待。 Wednesday of New Zealand time arrives in Huanghou Town, settles down until Saturday morning all, Eric only stayed a weekend, ahead of time starts to return to Los Angeles. 新西兰时间的周三到达皇后镇,直到周六早上一切尘埃落定,艾瑞克只呆了一个周末,就提前启程返回洛杉矶。 Meanwhile, that side New York, when AOL the morning holds the press conference in the local time on Saturday, announced that the company will continue to insist development strategy as well as Chris originally after the Hansson three people resign from director AOL the position the news, the media suddenly in an uproar a piece. 与此同时,纽约那边,当美国在线于当地时间周六上午召开新闻发布会,宣布公司将继续坚持原本的发展策略以及克里斯・汉森三人辞去美国在线董事职位的消息之后,媒体一时间哗然一片。 《The New York Times》 directly used ‚the big rout of Firefly system’ to take the title to describe this event. 《纽约时报》直接使用了‘萤火虫体系的大溃败’作为标题来形容这次事件。 However, similarly also some massive media forecast that the Firefly investment independently AOL domination, regarding AOL, instead is a giant crisis. 不过,同样也有大量媒体预测萤火虫投资放手美国在线的控制权,对于美国在线来说,反而是一次巨大的危机。 After all, many people can look, Firefly invests this thorough dropping, likely means that it will dump the stock in hand gradually. 毕竟,很多人都看得出来,萤火虫投资这种彻底的放手,很可能意味着它将逐步抛售手中的股票。 Surpasses the 30% first major stockholder as the ownership percentage, once the Firefly investment dumps the stock in hand on a large scale, the impact on the AOL stock price is almost ruinous. 作为持股比例超过30%的第一大股东,一旦萤火虫投资大举抛售手中的股票,对美国在线股价的冲击几乎是毁灭性的。 On the other hand, so long as the somewhat sane person, does not believe slightly both sides as before are similar to such that at the press conference states, continued maintains the past close cooperation stance. But lost the support of Firefly system media resources, AOL in developing the process of Internet media service, will face the content short predicament directly. 另一方面,只要稍微有些理智的人,都不会相信双方依旧将如同新闻发布会上声明的那样,继续保持以往的亲密合作姿态。而失去了萤火虫体系传媒资源的支持,美国在线在发展互联网传媒业务的过程中,将直接面临内容短缺的窘境。 However, although both sides are unable to achieve consistently in the AOL development ideal, but Eric did not deny that Steve Kyes is a very able occupation Manager person. 不过,虽然双方在美国在线发展理念上无法达成一致,但艾瑞克并不否认,史蒂夫・凯斯是一个非常有能力的职业经理人。 After press conference the sedan chair aspect of AOL bitter experience, Steve Kyes has decisively taken the remedial treatments of a series of correspondence. 面对新闻发布会之后美国在线遭遇的舆伦局面,史蒂夫・凯斯果断采取了一系列对应的补救措施。 Next day, is on Sunday, after emergency discussion, Steve Kyes holds the urgent press conference once more, announced to express to the confidence of company prospects for development, the AOL management will have corporation stock and other methods through the mortgage itself, raises 1 billion USD fund, for purchasing the AOL stock. 第二天,也就是周日,经过紧急磋商,史蒂夫・凯斯再次召开紧急新闻发布会,宣布为了表示对公司发展前景的信心,美国在线管理层将通过抵押本身持有公司股份等手段,筹集10亿美元资金,用于收购美国在线股票。 A company management buys up to stock sells, without doubt most can indicate that their attitude toward company prospects for development, Steve Kyes's action hesitated the uncertain investor to be reassured directly. 一家公司管理层对股票买进卖出,无疑最能表明他们对公司发展前景的态度,史蒂夫・凯斯的这一举措直接给很多犹疑不定的投资人吃了一颗定心丸。 Meanwhile, Time Warner group management Richard Parsons also appeared at this press conference, with Steve Kyes issues the statement together, Time Warner will achieve the strategic cooperation relationship with AOL in media content. 同时,时代华纳集团高管理查德・帕森斯也出现在了这场新闻发布会上,与史蒂夫・凯斯共同发表声明,时代华纳将与美国在线将在媒体内容方面达成战略合作关系。 Properly speaking, Richard Parsons is Time Warner Warner Bros. Film Studio CEO, AOL must develop the web portal service, more needs is actually the content support in news media. Richard appearance of Parsons at press conference as if appears inopportune. 按理说,理查德・帕森斯是时代华纳旗下华纳兄弟电影公司的CEO,美国在线要发展门户网站业务,更多需要的却是新闻媒体方面的内容支持。理查德・帕森斯在新闻发布会上的露面似乎显得不合时宜。 But in fact, slightly the sense of smell keen media and investors are clear, Richard Parsons is Time Warner major stockholder Gerald arranges in order a management of article department. Richard Parsons acts, basically on representative works Gerald arranges in order the article the manner. 但实际上,稍微嗅觉敏锐一些的媒体和投资人都非常清楚,理查德・帕森斯是时代华纳大股东杰拉尔德・列文一系的高管。理查德・帕森斯出面,基本上就代表作杰拉尔德・列文的态度。 Gerald arranges in order the article before the Time Warner group was established is the leader and major stockholder in time media company, the time media company has such as famous Time magazine and other large quantities of paper media. 杰拉尔德・列文在时代华纳集团成立之前是时代传媒公司的掌门人和大股东,时代传媒公司拥有诸如大名鼎鼎的《时代》杂志等一大批纸质媒体。 Even if Time Warner has established many years, but Gerald arranged in order the article as before is maintaining to once the newspaper magazine media of time media the formidable influence, the content of this aspect was AOL conducts the web portal and other Internet media services exactly urgently needed. 即使时代华纳已经成立很多年,但杰拉尔德・列文依旧对曾经时代传媒旗下的报纸杂志媒体保持着强大的影响力,这方面的内容恰好是美国在线经营门户网站等互联网传媒业务所急需的。 Let alone, Time Warner also has North America and even world first big cable news network CNN TV Station. 更何况,时代华纳还拥有北美乃至世界第一大有线电视新闻网络CNN电视台。 Even if with CNN back Theder Turner has competition of company domination, but in company beneficial media cooperation, Gerald arranges in order the article to reconcile, does not have the too big barrier. So long as can achieve the cooperation with Time Warner, even if gets into a deadlock with the Firefly system thoroughly, AOL web portal can also gain enough media resources from Time Warner. 即使与CNN背后的特德・特纳存在公司控制权方面的争夺,但于公司有益的传媒合作,杰拉尔德・列文想要从中撮合,也不存在太大的障碍。只要能够与时代华纳达成合作,即使和萤火虫体系彻底闹僵,美国在线的门户网站也能够从时代华纳获取足够的媒体资源。 Moreover, Richard Parsons attended the AOL press conference, lets Wall Street and major media again associates to the hearsay that two big giants have possibly been able to merge. 而且,理查德・帕森斯出席美国在线的新闻发布会,也再次让华尔街和各大媒体联想到了两大巨头可能会合并的传闻。 Established comprehensive media group and marrying of emerging Internet media giant, looks like in many people are one type adds is bigger than two power-and-power unions. 老牌综合性传媒集团与新兴互联网传媒巨头的联姻,在很多人看来都是一种一加一大于二的强强联合。 The capital market imagines many average people are much blinder. 资本市场远比很多普通人想象的要盲目得多。 Under a series of pointed advantage good news stimulation, on Monday, when the AOL stock opening price, the short two hours, the stock price returned last week Steve again Kyes accepted the price before CNN interview. 在一连串针对性的利好消息刺激下,周一,当美国在线股票重新开盘,短短两个小时,股价就重新回到了上周史蒂夫・凯斯接受CNN采访前的价位。 When closed on the same day, the AOL single laid stock price has achieved 262.39 USD, when compared opening price 235.76 USD to rise suddenly 11.2%, the AOL market value also therefore achieved 432.9 400 million USD. 等到当天收盘,美国在线的单股股价已经达到262.39美元,相比开盘时的235.76美元暴涨了11.2%,美国在线的市值也因此达到432.94亿美元。 Received lead of AOL stock price, the NASDAQ index also finally breaks 2000 in Monday same day, a market situation piece gains across the board. 受到美国在线股价的带动,纳斯达克指数在周一当天也终于突破2000点大关,市场形势一片飘红。 Facing this situation, most puzzled without doubt was various major stockholders of AOL excluding Firefly investment. 面对这种情况,最纠结的无疑是美国在线除萤火虫投资之外的各大股东了。 The Firefly investment reduces the AOL stock to be irreversible, wants to avoid the AOL stock price therefore dropping sharply even crashes, other shareholders must continue the stock that the Firefly investment dumps. 萤火虫投资减持美国在线的股份已经不可逆转,想要避免美国在线股价因此大跌甚至崩盘,其他股东就必须将萤火虫投资抛售的股票承接下来。 In last week conference call, Eric will have started out 4 billion USD prices to soon 10% stocks of reducing directly, moreover did not agree with any discount. But AOL applied to stop the market value before sign at that time urgently actually only then 3 8.9 billion USD, various major stockholders naturally did not agree that buys Firefly to invest 16 500,000 stocks by 4 billion USD prices the stocks. 上周的视频会议上,艾瑞克直接对即将减持的10%股份开出了40亿美元的价格,而且不同意任何折扣。但美国在线当时申请紧急停牌前的市值却只有389亿美元,各大股东自然不同意以40亿美元的价格买下萤火虫投资1650万股的股票。 But restored to trade the same day merely, the AOL market value has surpassed 43 billion USD. 但仅仅只是恢复交易当天,美国在线的市值就超过了430亿美元。 According to Eric then meaning, wants to continue this transaction now, the price must according to 4 300 million USD computations, short three days must pay 300 million USD much, appointed everybody will love dearly incomparably. 按照艾瑞克当时的意思,现在想要继续这笔交易,价格就要按照43亿美元计算,短短三天就要多支付三亿美元,任谁都会心疼无比。 Eric at that time on flying back to the Los Angeles airplane, the representatives of various major stockholders must probe to Chris, at this matter the Eric manner is firm, to Chris any right to independence, all parties' probe naturally has not had any result. 艾瑞克当时已经在飞回洛杉矶的飞机上,各大股东的代表只得向克里斯试探了一番,这件事上艾瑞克的态度非常坚决,没有给克里斯任何自主权,各方的试探自然没有任何结果。 So until the next day. 如此直到第二天。 According to usual market discipline, after yesterday the retaliatory rebound of AOL stock price, most people think that today the stock price will drop, but the fact makes many shareholders joyful mix with incomparable intertwining. 按照通常的市场规律,昨天美国在线股价的报复性反弹之后,大部分人都以为今天股价会有所回落,但事实却让很多股东欣喜中又夹杂着无比的纠结。 The AOL stock price not only has not fallen the lucky sign next day, instead rose 3.1% once more, the market value achieves 446. 3.6 billion USD, direct impact 45 billion USD critical junctions. 美国在线的股价第二天不但没有丝毫下跌吉迹象,反而再次上涨了3.1%,市值达到446.36亿美元,直冲450亿美元大关。 Even if forecast that the AOL stock price has possibly touched the young shareholder who top to dump over a million stocks in secret, has not stopped this strong upward trend slightly. 哪怕一些预测美国在线股价可能已经触顶的小股东暗中抛售了上百万股股票,也丝毫没有止住这种强势的上涨趋势。 Except that the Firefly investment and management own stocks, AOL other shareholders basically are the retired insurance funds of the major investment banks and United States various states, these organizations buy up the stock, even if not have for a long time, compares these hedge fund aimed at short-term arbitrage to have time long many, they are also the capital main forces of United States stock market. 除了萤火虫投资和管理层持股,美国在线的其他股东基本上都是各大投资银行和美国各州的退休保险基金,这些机构买入股票即使不会长期持有,也比那些以短期套利为目的的对冲基金持有时间长的多,他们也是美国股市的资本主力。 Due to the capital nature reason, especially the retired insurance funds of various states, invest the principle to be primarily are discrete. Now the bubble ingredient of NASDAQ stock market as well as is getting more and more obvious, manager of these investment institutions naturally also had considered while the present leverage that the AOL stock price slight increases. 由于资本性质原因,特别是各州的退休保险基金,投资原则都是以谨慎为主。现在纳斯达克股市的泡沫成分以及越来越明显,这些投资机构的经纪人自然也考虑过趁着美国在线股价高企的现在套现。 But facing the Firefly investment that determined must reduce massively, these investment institutions have to endure patiently this thoughts temporarily. 但面对铁了心要大规模减持的萤火虫投资,这些投资机构又不得不暂时忍耐这种心思。 Everybody is clear, leverages together, will only cause all people to have achieved nothing. If the AOL stock price has crashed, the Firefly investment loses on several 1 billion 10 billion USD, has the property scale to this already over 200 billion USD companies, will not have the too serious influence. But regarding major investment institutions, even if in the hand the value is only several billions USD stocks loss, many people may probably discard the rice bowl. 大家都清楚,一起套现,只会导致所有人全都一无所获。如果美国在线的股价崩盘了,萤火虫投资损失几十亿上百亿美元,对这家持有资产规模已经超过2000亿美元的公司来说,并不会造成太严重的影响。但对于各大投资机构来说,哪怕手中价值只是数亿美元的股票血本无归,很多人可都是要丢掉饭碗的。 Present situation, only then invests this 10% stocks to continue first Firefly, they then can have six months, gradually dumps the stock in hand. 现在的情况,只有先将萤火虫投资这10%的股票承接下来,他们接下来才能有半年时间,逐渐抛售手中的股票。 Naturally, these also premise, is the related Manager person can endure patiently the enticement of AOL stock price continuously rise, after all, most people in one type ‚perhaps can also rise again some’ in anticipation, when continuously the stock market crashes quickly awakens to rude awakening. 当然,这其中还有一个前提,就是相关的经理人可以忍耐美国在线股价一直上涨的誘惑,毕竟,大部分人都是在一种‘或许还能再涨一些’的期待中,一直等到股市崩盘才幡然醒悟后悔莫及的。 Therefore, the private plane when Eric takes lands in Tuesday afternoon on the Los Angeles international airport, is elected as Morgan Stanley Chairman John of shareholder representative Mark also arrived in Los Angeles. 因此,当艾瑞克乘坐的私人飞机于周二下午降落在洛杉矶国际机场,被推举为股东代表的摩根士丹利总裁约翰・马克也同时抵达了洛杉矶。 Although after more than ten hours of flights, but because entire journey is very luxurious comfortable private plane, Eric has not felt exhausted that anything makes a long journey, has rested for several hours on the airplane, arrives at sunlight beautiful Los Angeles, for serveral days the depressed mood instead dissipated much. 虽然经过十多个小时的飞行,但由于全程都是非常豪华舒适的私人飞机,艾瑞克并没有感受到什么长途旅行的疲惫,在飞机上睡了几个小时,到达阳光明媚的洛杉矶,这些天郁闷的心情反而消散了不少。 Accompanying oneself gathered round Earth to transfer a two female assistant and one group of bodyguards had a vacation, sending them to leave respectively, Eric went by car to return to Cliff Peak Manor, the person also on the road, received John the Mark telephone, the opposite party was waiting for itself out Cliff Peak Manor. 给陪自己围着地球转了一圈的两位女助理和一组保镖放了假,打发他们各自离开,艾瑞克坐车返回尖角庄园,人还在路上,就接到了约翰・马克的电话,对方已经在尖角庄园门外等着自己。 Although too does not want to do with these people at this time, but others blocked the entrance, Eric with was not good to evade does not see. 虽然这个时候不太想和这些人打交道,但别人堵到了门口,艾瑞克与不好避之不见。 Gets out in the Cliff Peak Manor entrance, Eric moves forward to meet somebody with John Mark has grasped starting, they walked to enter the manor. 在尖角庄园大门口下车,艾瑞克迎上去与约翰・马克握了下手,两人步行走进了庄园。 Walks with Eric shoulder to shoulder on leading to the neat road in shell villa, John Mark is sizing up the greenery lawn of all around careful construction, thinks highly saying: „Several years ago compares, here may be more beautiful.” 与艾瑞克并肩走在通往贝壳别墅的整洁甬道上,约翰・马克打量着四周精心修建的绿树草坪,恭维道:“和几年前相比,这里可更漂亮了。” Eric little in Cliff Peak Manor entertainment guest, but, several years ago sells Disney Hand-Drawn Animation Department as well as purchases in the Marvel process, Eric has conducted one in Cliff Peak Manor time to the major investment bank and commercial party of fund Manager person, at that time John Mark also has the attendance. 艾瑞克很少在尖角庄园招待客人,不过,几年前卖出迪斯尼手绘动画部门以及收购漫威的过程中,艾瑞克在尖角庄园举办过一次面向各大投行和基金经理人的商务派对,当时约翰・马克也有出席。 „John, you can also buy a manor in Los Angeles, occasionally comes the leave to be also good, the Los Angeles environment can relax.” “约翰,你也可以在洛杉矶买一座庄园的,偶尔过来休假也不错,洛杉矶的环境还是非常能让人放松的。” John Mark is smiling bitterly shaking the head: „Perhaps, when I retired could have this time.” 约翰・马克苦笑着摇摇头:“或许,等我退休了才能有这种时间吧。” They were chatting, villa that side twin welcomed together, arrived together lightly has called a master, along with side Eric. 两人聊着,别墅那边双胞胎一起迎了过来,走到近前一起轻唤了一声主人,就随在艾瑞克身边。 John Mark is the high-ranking for a long time, the side does not lack the woman, but faces the stature appearance exactly the same simultaneously may be called the outstandingly beautiful twins, could not bear looked at several, in the heart many somewhat envied the good fortune in romance of Eric. 约翰・马克长期身居高位,身边并不缺乏女人,但面对身材样貌一模一样同时都堪称绝色的双胞胎,还是忍不住多看了几眼,心中多少有些羡慕艾瑞克的艳福。 Eric not to John Mark introduced twin's meaning, but asked: „Drew?” 艾瑞克也没有向约翰・马克介绍双胞胎的意思,只是问道:“德鲁呢？” Natasha said: „Boss in the company, gets off work to come.” 娜塔莎道:“老板在公司,下班就会过来。” Eric nods, said: „Under helped me and Mr. Mark comes to the pot coffee, my baggage on the behind vehicle, everybody's gift, reorganized. You have, look writes the name on the line.” 艾瑞克点点头,道:“等下帮我和马克先生冲壶咖啡过来,我的行李在后面车上,还有大家的礼物,卡莉已经整理好了。你们俩也有,找写着自己名字的就行。” After instruction, Eric and John Mark arrives at the villa glass curtain wall receiving callers area to sit down together, chatted a while, when the twin end comes the coffee, after giving they pour on leaves, Eric is carrying the coffee cup, relaxes by the sofa, asked: „Therefore, John, what matter your this time does have?” 吩咐过后,艾瑞克和约翰・马克一起来到别墅玻璃幕墙边的会客区坐下,又闲聊了一会儿,等双胞胎端来咖啡,给两人倒上后离开,艾瑞克才端着咖啡杯,放松地靠在沙发上,问道:“所以,约翰,你这次过来有什么事情吗？” John Mark has smiled bitterly, said: „Eric, you understand that actually, is the matter of AOL stock.” 约翰・马克苦笑了下,道:“艾瑞克,你心里其实明白的,还是美国在线股票的事情。” „Actually I just under the airplane,” Eric shrugged, ask: „Is the stock price that today closes how many are coming?” “其实我刚下飞机,”艾瑞克耸耸肩,问道:“今天收盘的股价是多少来着？” „270.52 USD,” John Mark said: „Compared with yesterday, rose probably 3%.” “270.52美元,”约翰・马克道:“与昨天相比,又涨了大概3%。” sips a coffee, Eric said carefully: „It seems like was this sell ones shares, I thought that opened ten to be quite appropriate directly, the AOL stock price had big rise space as before.” 小心地抿了口咖啡,艾瑞克才道:“看来是该拆股了,我觉得直接一拆十比较合适,美国在线的股价依旧还是存在很大上涨空间的。” John Mark said: „Since this, Eric, why you also insisted that can sell?” 约翰・马克道:“既然这样,艾瑞克,那你为什么还坚持非卖不可呢？” „Everybody......” Eric, does not know how ‚different should not translate for stratagem’ is appropriate, has saying: „If the direction has not looked for the right, present magnificence, eventually is only temporary.” “大家……”艾瑞克顿了下,不知道‘道不同不相为谋’该怎么翻译才合适,只好道:“如果方向没有找对,现在的辉煌,终究只是暂时的。” „Eric, we do not know that what in the future can be, how you can affirm that AOL hasn't looked to own direction?” “艾瑞克,我们谁都不知道未来会是什么样的,你怎么敢肯定美国在线没有找对自己的方向？” Eric turned head to look outside a curtain wall the open deep blue sea level, as if somewhat absent-mindedly said: „Yes, therefore, we can only insist that think to the direction, I have my insistence, Steve has insistence of Steve, you have your insistences. The thing that everybody insists is different, crowds together reluctantly can only implicate mutually, therefore separates.” 艾瑞克扭头看了眼幕墙外开阔的湛蓝海面,似乎有些心不在焉道:“是啊,所以,我们就只能坚持一个自己认为对的方向,我有我的坚持,史蒂夫有史蒂夫的坚持,你们有你们的坚持。大家坚持的东西不一样,勉强凑在一起只能相互拖累,所以还是分开好。” Felt that Eric has the meaning that the topic branches off, John Mark must mention this line of goals on own initiative: „Eric, according to the price that you started out last week, the 10% discount is what kind, we can complete the transaction in one week, the cash payment.” 感觉艾瑞克有将话题岔开的意思,约翰・马克只得主动提及此行的目的:“艾瑞克,按照你上周开出的价格,九折怎么样,我们可以在一周内就完成交易,现金支付。” The Eric corners of the mouth show the smile, said: „John, did you note recently a Russia ruble fluctuation?” 艾瑞克嘴角露出微笑,道:“约翰,你注意到最近俄罗斯卢布的波动了吗？” John Mark has gawked, why doubts Eric will speak of this issue very much suddenly, shakes the head saying: „Eric, the service in my irresponsible foreign exchange, what issue does the ruble have?” 约翰・马克愣了下,很疑惑艾瑞克为什么会突然提起这个问题,摇头道:“艾瑞克,我并不负责外汇方面的业务,卢布有什么问题吗？”
