However, the Firefly big manufacture project has arranged to three years later, therefore is responsible for by you.” 艾瑞克解释道:“安柏林那边资金出了问题,当然,也可能是对这个项目信心不足,所以把这个项目砍掉了,上周六我碰到托尼・斯科特恰好知道的这件事,就把剧本拿来看了看,觉得很不错。不过,萤火虫这边的大制作项目已经排到三年后了,所以就由你们这边负责吧。” Elizabeth turned several pages at will, somewhat scruple said: „Epic poem piece, everybody knows that now the epic poem piece the risk is very big, even if several years ago that «Braveheart», Box Office is not too successful.” 伊丽莎白随意翻了几页,有些迟疑道:“史诗片啊,现在大家都知道史诗片的风险很大,就算是几年前那部《勇敢的心》,票房都不算太成功。” Eric said: „«Wrestler» script is broader than the «Braveheart» audience surface . Moreover, Ridley the Scott Director skill has the safeguard.” 艾瑞克道:“《角斗士》的剧本要比《勇敢的心》受众面更广,而且,雷德利・斯科特的导演功力还是有保障的。” „Good, I go back to give everybody to discuss,” Elizabeth nods, she naturally highly believes the judgment of Eric. “好吧,那我回去给大家讨论一下,”伊丽莎白点头,她自然是非常相信艾瑞克的判断的。 Was saying, the office gate was shoved open again, the girl puts on the small shirt and white leisure trousers today rarely seriously, but as before likely little girl throws grinningly, entangles on Eric directly, two leg also links in his waist does strange as use to try, but does not have Natasha ‚lethality’. 正说着,办公室门再次被推开,丫头今天难得一本正经地穿着小衬衫和白色休闲长裤,只是依旧像个小女孩似的笑嘻嘻扑过来,直接缠到艾瑞克身上,两条腿还环在他腰间搞怪似的用着力,只是丝毫没有娜塔莎的‘杀伤力’。 Eric is hugging the small body of girl, put out a hand to pat on her small buttocks, but said: „Do not make, Leeds here.” 艾瑞克搂着丫头的小身子,伸手在她小臀上拍了下,无奈道:“别闹,利兹在这里呢。” The girls hee hee have kissed on the Eric face with a smile, stands the body, suddenly puts out a hand to want script in Elizabeth hand to snatch. 丫头嘻嘻笑着在艾瑞克脸上吻了下,站好身体,突然伸手想要把伊丽莎白手中的剧本抢过来。 Early has protection Elizabeth to shunt skilled, the backhand hits: „Small bitch.” 早有防备的伊丽莎白熟练躲开,反手又打过来:“小碧池。” The girls receive to reach behind the back, grasp the arm of Eric to complain on a face suffering from injustice: „Eric, she scolded me.” 丫头收回手,抱住艾瑞克的胳膊就一脸委屈地告状:“艾瑞克,她骂我。” Eric separates two chicken dog not right women, said: „Was good, cannot quarrel, we go to the conference room, the person has almost arrived in full.” 艾瑞克把两个鸡狗不对头的女人隔开,道:“好了,不许吵架,我们去会议室吧,人差不多已经到齐了。” ...... …… In out a Firefly Group Headquarters biggest conference room this time has been filled with the person, Eric was leading Elizabeth and girl arrives, Kelly pushes the door to come out exactly. 萤火虫集团总部最大的一间会议室里此时已经坐满了人,艾瑞克带着伊丽莎白和丫头走到门外,凯莉恰好推门出来。 Eric anchors the footsteps, asked: „Prepared?” 艾瑞克停住脚步,问道:“都准备好了吗？” Kelly said: „Nokia that side connection some issues, but was good.” 凯莉道:“诺基亚那边的连线出了些问题,不过已经好了。” Eric nods, pushed the door to walk. 艾瑞克点点头,率先推门走了进去。 Sees Eric to come, was whispering the people who chatted to be completely peaceful, set out in abundance, looked together to just entered gate Eric. 看到艾瑞克进来,原本正在交头接耳聊天的众人全部都安静下来,纷纷起身,一起望向刚刚走进门的艾瑞克。 At this time, the Firefly system, except for Firefly Group and Fox group and Metro Goldwyn Mayer group three family members in the Los Angeles management, West coast Headquarters in the San Francisco Firefly electron three giants, Headquarters has also caught up in San Diego Qualcomm several core management, other departments and companies through the video connection, appear on ten 32 inches wall hanging screens that by the compound big conference room sets up in an array. 此时,萤火虫体系,除了萤火虫集团、福克斯集团和米高梅集团三家人在洛杉矶的高管,西海岸总部在旧金山的萤火虫电子三巨头,总部在圣地亚哥的高通几位核心高管也同时赶了过来,其他部门和公司则通过视频连线,出现在并列大会议室两侧一字排开的十块32英寸壁挂屏幕上。 Eric arrives at the first position, received a folder from the Carolyn hand, nods to say toward the people: „Everybody sits.” 艾瑞克走到上首位置,从卡洛琳手中接过一个文件夹,朝众人点头道:“大家坐吧。” People take a seat in abundance, Eric actually as before stands in same place, in his today's position has not prepared the chair. 一众人纷纷落座,艾瑞克却依旧站在原地,他今天的位置上并没有准备座椅。 In conference room, Katzenberg and Frank of Hollywood system Wells, girl, Elizabeth, Amy Pascal and John Calley and Qiao Ross as well as Victor Maikenai three person and Qualcomm of Firefly electron CEO Irvine Jacob and the others sit by spacious meeting table respectively. On the conference room wall, ten 32 inches wall hanging screens are connecting New York ABC Robert and other management and Chris as well as Mr. and Mrs. Emily and Cisco Headquarters Firefly investment John Chambers and other management and Yahoo Ian Gonul three person of as well as other Apple, Sprint, Amazon and other entire ten offices. 会议室内,好莱坞体系的卡森伯格、弗兰克・威尔斯、丫头、伊丽莎白、艾米・帕斯卡尔、约翰・卡利、乔・罗斯以及萤火虫电子的维克多・麦克奈利三人、高通的CEO欧文・雅各布等人分别坐在宽大的会议桌两侧。会议室墙壁上,十块32英寸壁挂屏幕则连接着纽约ABC的罗伯特・艾格等高管、萤火虫投资的克里斯以及艾米丽夫妇、思科总部的约翰・钱伯斯等高管、雅虎的伊恩・格尼尔三人以及其他苹果、Sprint、亚马逊等整整十个办公室。 About took a fast look around, was feeling dozens people through the gaze of scene as well as camera scene, Eric has had a smug feeling immediately. 左右扫视了一圈,感受着数十人通过现场以及摄影机镜头的注视,艾瑞克顿时生出了一种踌躇满志的感觉。 This is own business empire. 这就是自己的商业帝国。 Firefly empire. 萤火虫帝国。 The feeling of Eric so, the scenes as well as through all people who the video connection attended this conference, in the heart have also produced inexplicable shock. 艾瑞克的感觉如此,现场以及通过视频连线参加这次会议的所有人,心中也同时产生了一种莫名的震撼。 Unknowingly, the people discovered that they place oneself in the middle of a huge business empire unexpectedly. 不知不觉,众人就发现,自己竟然置身于一个如此庞大的商业帝国当中。 At this time, in the Firefly system, except for Firefly Group, the Cisco market value broke through 100 billion USD similarly, although was excluded by the Firefly system, owning stocks quantity over 15% AOL, the market value also has broken as before through 50 billion USD. Compared with core Yahoo, Nokia and Firefly electron, LTD and other companies, the market value scale similarly achieve 10 billion and even count above 10 billion USD. 此时,萤火虫体系中,除了萤火虫集团,思科的市值同样已经突破了1000亿美元,虽然已经被萤火虫体系排除在外,持股数量依旧超过15%的美国在线,市值也已经冲破了500亿美元。比较核心的雅虎、诺基亚、萤火虫电子、LTD等几家公司,市值规模都同样达到百亿乃至数百亿美元以上。 After these years accumulations, the property scale of entire Firefly system control, has surpassed 400 billion USD at this time. 经过这些年的积累,整个萤火虫体系控制的资产规模,此时已经超过了4000亿美元。 This is any concept, according to the recent statistics, in various countries GDP latest data, ranks the 13 th India, the GDP digit is 429 billion USD, ranks the 14 th Australia, the GDP digit also has 380 billion. 这是什么概念,根据最近的统计数据,世界各国GDP的最新数据中,排名第13位的印度,GDP数字为4290亿美元,排名第14位的澳大利亚,GDP数字也就只有3800亿。 Like this calculates that is only the Firefly system, quite in controlling rank world 14 th huge ‚economy’, it may be said that is worthy of the reputation the rich enemy. 这样算来,只是萤火虫体系,就相当于控制着一个排行世界第14名的庞大‘经济体’,可谓是名副其实的富可敌国。 In the conference room peaceful the moment, Eric has patted starting finally, attracted the attention of all people, smiles was saying: „The year before last Yahoo annual meeting, last year Chris wedding, everybody has gathered together. I hope such meeting can every year be held one time. However, this year's time passed by for eight months, everybody all people, are busy including me, this year the true meeting possibly does not have the time, therefore, I have to choose in this way poly one time. Next year starting from, I hope that can determine thoroughly this meeting, and ahead of time arranges the date and traveling schedule.” 会议室里安静了片刻,艾瑞克终于拍了下手,吸引了所有人的注意力,才微笑着说道:“前年的雅虎年会,去年的克里斯婚礼,大家都一起聚过。我原本希望这样的聚会能够每年举行一次的。不过,今年的时间已经过去了八个月,大家所有人,包括我自己都非常忙碌,今年真正的聚会可能没时间了,所以,我就只好选择通过这种方式相聚一次。明年开始,我希望能够彻底将这种聚会确定下来,并且提前安排日期和行程。” In a nodding assent sound of people, Eric walked slowly and aimlessly same place slightly two steps , to continue saying: „Naturally, everybody affirms to discover that this time we had a partner to withdraw from this conference, this has saying that was a regret, because in my tentative plan, all companies of Firefly system was indispensable one point, departure of AOL, makes me realize in this world to have too many matters not to be always entirely as desired, but, I hope that the following several years can fill again the vacancy that AOL left behind.” 一众人的点头同意声中,艾瑞克原地微微踱了两步,才继续道:“当然,大家肯定发现,这一次我们有一个伙伴退出了这场会议,这不得不说是一个遗憾,因为在我的设想里,萤火虫体系的所有公司都是不可或缺的一环,美国在线的离开,也让我意识到这世界上有太多事情总是不尽如人意的,不过,我希望接下来几年能够重新将美国在线留下的空缺填补下来。” Said that has stopped moment, took a fast look around the same field inside and outside people, Eric had smiled suddenly, said: „Good, everybody definitely heard matter that recently had, is very lively, I suddenly thought that even if oneself future by appraising script anything, can live is very good, after all, is only my affirmation, can raise a value 100,000 USD script price to 7.5 million USD.” 这么说完,停顿了片刻,扫视了一样场内外的众人,艾瑞克突然笑了笑,道:“好吧,大家肯定听说了最近发生的事情,很热闹,我突然觉得,自己将来即使靠鉴定剧本什么的,也能活的很好,毕竟,只是我的肯定,就能够把一个价值10万美元的剧本价格提高到750万美元。” In laughter that the people teased, Eric has patted starting, continued saying: „Nà, this matter we discussed finally again, looks that sits before me as well as the video through everybody who attended this conference, I as before some too cannot believe all these now real.” 众人略带调侃的笑声中,艾瑞克又拍了下手,继续道:“呐,这件事我们最后再谈吧,看着坐在我面前以及通过视频参加这次会议的大家,我现在依旧有些不太敢相信这一切都是真的。” Eric was saying, has pulled the shirt sleeve very much at will, has these recollections, said slowly: „Remembers for ten years ago, is really exactly ten years, in 1988, probably was also at this time, I was still the service person in Italian Restaurant . Moreover, because of some accidents, I suddenly discovered that in my world only remaining I, every day carried the gap of tray to the guest, I basically was am being in a daze, thinks that own matter, thinks the future matter, thinks, I thought one cannot such ignorant, at least, I should the working sentiment, prove one were exists. Then, I have written my first part novel, first script, has participated performance the first part movie, but also has directed own first part movie. Now recalls that I discovered one are how lucky, because this walks, I can always meet to help my person.” 艾瑞克说着,很随意地将衬衫袖子挽了起来,带这些回忆,缓缓道:“想起十年前,呵,真的是恰好十年啊,1988年吧,大概也是这个时候,我还在一家意大利餐厅当服务员,而且,因为一些变故,我突然发现,自己的世界里就只剩下我一个人了,每天给客人端盘子的间隙,我基本上就是在发呆,想自己的事情,想未来的事情,想着想着,我就觉得自己不能这么浑浑噩噩的过下去,至少,我应该做点事情,证明自己是真真实实存在的。然后,我就写了自己的第一部小说,第一个剧本,参演了第一部电影,还执导了自己的第一部影片。现在回想起来,我才发现自己是多么幸运,因为这一路走来,我总能遇到可以帮助自己的人。” „Stood firm in Hollywood, established Firefly Group, slowly, I also start to handle more matters. I acknowledged that most starts, I am holding one type very blindly is a congenial mentality handles these matters completely, like investing AOL, as well as Cisco, even also has Nokia, my then idea, must wait for after these companies develop, let go of the stock of investment at that time the leverage, is good to make the money.” “在好莱坞站稳了脚跟,创立了萤火虫集团,慢慢的,我也开始想要做更多的事情。我承认,最开始的时候,我是抱着一种非常盲目的完全就是一种投机的心态来做这些事情的,就像投资美国在线,以及思科,甚至还有诺基亚,我当时的想法,就是要等待这些公司发展起来之后,把当时投资的股票脱手套现,好赚上一大笔钱。” Listens the laughter that inside and outside the field is resounding once more, Eric also to smile, said: „But, now, I did not have any congenial thought that even if will be soon separated from Firefly this big family's AOL, I think that everybody is very definitely clear, the factors of these not too much money, but everybody had the conflict to the external development ideal, both sides have to separate. Actually, if possible, I even hope that everybody can forever hand in hand together walk, because, was my just those words, in me, each team of Firefly system, was indispensable.” 听着场内外再次响起的笑声,艾瑞克也跟着笑了笑,道:“不过,现在,我已经没有了任何投机的念头,哪怕是即将脱离萤火虫这个大家庭的美国在线,我想大家肯定都很清楚,这其中并没有太多金钱的因素,只是大家对外来的发展理念发生了冲突,双方才不得不分开。其实,如果可能的话,我甚至希望大家能够永远携手一起走下去,因为,还是我刚刚的那句话,在我心里,萤火虫体系的每一个团队,都是不可或缺的。” Was saying, Eric sat in meditation toward secure in nearby Carolyn has given a hand signal, received an engineering model demonstration of tablet PC from the opposite party hand before the people, said: „Perhaps, everybody will think that my just words stem from the smalltalk, but absolutely was not. Simple, future of Firefly system, can concentrate completely in this small machine. Everybody definitely knows that this is the Firefly electron and Yahoo in the tablet PC of joint exploitation. Perhaps, at this time you will have the doubts, this and I have any relations, naturally has the relations.” 这么说着,艾瑞克朝安静坐在旁边的卡洛琳做了个手势,从对方手中接过一台平板电脑的工程样机展示在众人面前,道:“或许,大家会觉得我刚刚的话是出于客套,但绝对不是。简单来讲,萤火虫体系的未来,完全就可以浓缩在这一台小小的机器里。大家肯定都已经知道,这便是萤火虫电子与雅虎在合作开发的平板电脑。或许,此时你们心里会产生疑惑,这和我有什么关系,当然有关系。” „In my tentative plan, this machine, then can link the entire Firefly system......” “在我的设想中,这台机器,便可以将整个萤火虫体系链接起来……” The following most hour, Eric was elaborating that the tablet PC in plan and even Internet equipment the entire Firefly system, content and the service provider as well as the mobile communications equipment manufacturer and floor technical research and development company and even the content service of Hollywood media group more further smartphone in connects mutually, forms a complete and great information age industry blueprint. 接下来的大半个小时时间,艾瑞克都在阐述计划中的平板电脑乃至更进一步的智能手机将整个萤火虫体系内互联网设备、内容、服务提供商以及移动通信设备厂商、底层技术研发公司乃至好莱坞传媒集团的内容服务相互串联起来,形成一个完整而宏大的信息时代产业蓝图。 Eric starting from Monday in preparation today's speech, unified in the memory the information industries future development as well as these years experience accumulations, Eric makes all people hear the one's heart rushes toward one's destination to the description of Firefly system prospect. 从周一开始艾瑞克就已经在准备今天的这次演讲,结合记忆中信息产业未来的发展以及这些年的经验积累,艾瑞克对萤火虫体系未来前景的描述让现场所有人都听得心驰神往。 Can say gratefully, if the tentative plan of Eric can achieve, entire in the 21 st century, perhaps is the time of Firefly system, depended upon the energy, car and finance like the 20 th century Morgan and Rockefeller two respected families to the entire world control such. 可以毫不客气地说,如果艾瑞克的设想能够达成,整个21世纪,或许就将是萤火虫体系的时代,就像20世纪摩根和洛克菲勒两大家族依靠能源、汽车、金融对整个世界的控制那样。 Because the scene originally the Eric age factor unavoidably is always having the work place elite of some contempt and prejudice to him, at this time feels to feel a heartfelt admiration. 现场原本因为艾瑞克的年龄因素总难免对他带着一些轻视和偏见的职场精英,此时都感到心悦诚服。 This young people perhaps do not have ivy league and so on high school record, perhaps does not have the work place experience that their many years save, the foresight and sagacity that but demonstrates at this time, perhaps is he can lead the Firefly system to arrive at the present reason in the short ten years. 这个年轻人或许没有常青藤盟校之类的高学历,或许没有他们多年积攒下来的职场经验,但此时表现出来的这一份远见卓识,或许才是他能够带领萤火虫体系在短短十年时间就走到现在的原因吧。 After all, in this world always does not lack the talented person, even does not lack the talent, lacks, but can walk on a correct path truly has the keen perspective vision person. 毕竟,这个世界上从来都不缺少人才,甚至不缺少天才,缺少的,只是能够一直走在一条正确道路上的真正拥有敏锐前瞻眼光的人。
