Eric does not know that Howard Stringer petty action in secret, his reply completely is these years under the peripheral environment gradually influences abides by United States ‚politics was correct’ the handling matters rule. 艾瑞克并不知道霍华德.斯特林格暗中的小动作,他的那番回答完全是这些年在周边环境熏陶下遵循了美国‘政治正确’的处事规则。 The renewal is quickest 更新最快 In North America such social environment, not only the racial discrimination, a lot, you can do, but cannot say that has either gotten drunk the person who the moral nature words said that either was the idiot. Moreover, even if you have done, must refuse stubbornly to acknowledge. 在北美这样的社会环境里,不只是种族歧视,还有很多事情,你可以做,但决不能说,把心底话说出来的人要么喝醉了,要么就是蠢货。而且,即使你做了,也要死不承认。 As before by Kuririn of zipper gate puzzle without doubt is being this aspect ‚epitomizing’, he is quite what a pity bad luck, had been attained the evidence directly. 依旧在被拉链门困扰的克林无疑是这方面的‘集大成者’,可惜他比较倒霉,被人直接拿到了证据。 Leaves with Idei Nobuyuki two humanity, Eric has not walked away, the private car turned around a corner then to make the driver stop. 与出井伸之两人道别,艾瑞克并没有走远,座驾拐过一个街角便让司机停了下来。 After the moment, Bill. Chanique drove to follow, not far away behind the Eric private car stopped, after getting out, slightly was running. 片刻后,比尔.米查尼克开车跟了过来,在艾瑞克座驾后面不远处停下,下车后小跑着走了过来。 The drivers get out to open the vehicle door, Bill. Chanique sat carefully, greeted respectfully: „Mr. Williams?” 司机下车把车门拉开,比尔.米查尼克小心地坐了进来,恭敬地招呼道:“威廉姆斯先生？” „Called me Eric,” Eric smiles, the Bill meter Chanique's age and Katzenberg were similar, but, because day after day increase of oneself at heart age factor as well as itself power and influence, Eric to Bill meter Chanique this kind of person respectful had not felt but actually had any irritable place, but came straight to the point to say immediately: „After transaction is closed, do you plan to remain?” “叫我艾瑞克吧,”艾瑞克笑笑,比尔米查尼克的年龄与卡森伯格差不多,不过,因为自身心里年龄因素以及本身权势的日渐增加,艾瑞克对比尔米查尼克这类人的恭敬倒也没有感觉有什么别扭的地方,只是随即开门见山道:“交易完成之后,你打算留下来吗？” Bill. Chanique nods hastily: „Naturally, if possible.” 比尔.米查尼克连忙点头:“当然,如果可以的话。” „I have visited you in the work personal history of Disney time, initially the Disney's animated film recording tape issuing transaction was you personally does, Jeffrey also thinks that can continue to give you Columbia Film Studio. Therefore, these days, you can consider the Columbia future development idea. In the future this Film Studio maintains single-handedly will operate as before, after I hope trades to complete, Columbia Film Studio can as soon as possible straighten out.” “我看过你在迪斯尼时期的工作履历,当初迪斯尼的动画电影录像带发行业务就是你亲手做出来的,杰弗瑞也认为可以继续把哥伦比亚电影公司交给你。所以,这段时间,你可以好好考虑一下哥伦比亚未来的发展思路。将来这家电影公司依旧会保持独力运营,我希望交易完成之后,哥伦比亚电影公司能够尽快步入正轨。” Bill. Chanique is somewhat excited, by him in the Hollywood experience understanding Eric, if Eric did not plan that merges into Firefly Group Columbia Film Studio, then, his future authority absolutely on big many. So long as Columbia Film Studio can recover in the future, he can definitely become one of the seven big leaders being worthy of the reputation. 比尔.米查尼克有些兴奋,以他在好莱坞所见所闻中对艾瑞克的了解,如果艾瑞克不打算把哥伦比亚电影公司并入萤火虫集团,那么,他将来的权力绝对会大上很多。只要将来哥伦比亚电影公司能够重新复苏,他肯定能够成为名副其实的七大掌门人之一。 As far as possible maintains tranquil by oneself, Bill. Chanique asked: „Prestige...... Eric, that recently these matters?” 尽量让自己保持平静,比尔.米查尼克问道:“威……艾瑞克,那最近这些事情呢？” Eric thinks that said: „Firefly purchases the Sony Film Industry news should quick to announce. However, that side project, has manufactured according to the normal announcement flow that completes continues. Other, started shoots the movie of mounting phase, the complete suspension, you go back to reorganize a detailed list first to me.” 艾瑞克想了想,道:“萤火虫收购索尼影业的消息应该很快就会公布。不过,那边的项目,已经制作完成的按照正常的宣发流程继续进行。其他,无论是已经开始拍摄还是正在筹备阶段的影片,全部暂停,你回去先整理一份清单给我。” Recently Sony Film Industry determination next year crucial phase of annual manufacture and issuance plan. 最近一段时间正是索尼影业确定明年全年制作和发行计划的关键时期。 However, Bill. Chanique also knows that what stance at this time should show, let alone, the Sony Film Industry business volume, is really nothing to speak of facing other Firefly system several Film Studio, even if stops completely, will not have the too big loss. 不过,比尔.米查尼克也知道此时该展现出什么样的姿态,更何况,索尼影业的业务规模,面对萤火虫体系其他几家电影公司实在是不值一提,即使全部停止,也不会有太大损失。 In the future so long as obtains the resources help of Firefly system, Bill meter Chanique has the confidence to be able Columbia Film Studio to do. Therefore, he wants not to nod saying: „I go back on the office.” 将来只要得到萤火虫体系的资源帮助,比尔米查尼克还是非常有信心能够将哥伦比亚电影公司重新做起来。因此,他想也不想就点头道:“我回去就办。” Eric to Bill. Chanique's manner is satisfactory, pulled out a name card to hand over, said: „Temporarily only then these, this is my name card, has any matter to hit at any time to me.” 艾瑞克对比尔.米查尼克的态度非常满意,又掏出了一张名片递过来,道:“暂时就只有这些,这是我的名片,有什么事可以随时打给我。” Bill. Chanique received the name card to receive, sees other Eric not instruction, this said goodbye to leave. 比尔.米查尼克接过名片收好,见艾瑞克没有其他吩咐,这才告辞离开。 ...... …… The Firefly investment purchases the Sony group Film Industry service the news in the second week on Wednesday on the official foreign announcement. 萤火虫投资收购索尼集团电影业务的消息在第二周周三就正式对外公布。 The similar ten years pass by, the United States person to the past years said obviously this enterprise marches North America to take to heart on a large scale. 差不多十年过去,美国人显然对当年曰本企业大举进军北美耿耿于怀。 《Los Angeles Times》 used one „Hollywood to regain to lose” directly takes the title, the expression probably in saying the United States person grasped entire Hollywood once more in the hand. 《洛杉矶时报》直接用了一个“好莱坞收复失地”作为标题,语气好像是在说美国人已经再次将整个好莱坞掌握在手中。 However, few people dance with joy at the same time, moreover few people also realized that will complete to the purchase of Sony Film Industry service, the Firefly system will have controlled four in Hollywood seven big Film Studio, this type powerful condition has not occurred in the entire Hollywood history, in addition these days Eric was only the strong stance that because script showed to Sony Film Industry, other Hollywood influences produced all kinds of worry inevitably. 不过,一部分人欢欣鼓舞的同时,另外一部分人也意识到,完成了对索尼电影业务的收购,萤火虫体系将控制好莱坞七大电影公司中的四家,这种强盛之态在整个好莱坞历史上都还没有发生过,再加上这段时间艾瑞克只是因为一个剧本就对索尼影业表现出来的强势姿态,好莱坞其他势力不可避免地产生各种各样的担忧。 Therefore, possibly forms the monopoly aspect the media opinion suddenly also to start in Hollywood about the Firefly system becomes causes a clamor. 于是,关于萤火虫体系可能在好莱坞形成垄断局面的媒体言论一时间也开始变得甚嚣尘上。 Does not know that receives some sedan chair pressure people to create difficulties , the news was released for one week later, when Firefly invested to the United States Ministry of Justice submitted to purchase the transaction application of Sony Film Industry service, quick receives from Ministry of Justice instead to monopolize the subpoena of Bureau of Investigation, requesting Firefly to invest the high-level attendance with this transaction related public hearing, purchased the monopoly suspicion that Sony Film Industry possibly involved to give the explanation to the Firefly investment. 不知道是真的受到舆伦压力还是有人从中作梗,消息公布一周之后,当萤火虫投资向美国司法部提交收购索尼电影业务的交易申请时,很快就收到了来自司法部反垄断调查局的传票,要求萤火虫投资高层出席与这笔交易案相关的听证会,对萤火虫投资收购索尼影业可能涉及到的垄断嫌疑做出解释。 Firefly cinema city. 萤火虫影城。 In the «Gravity» movie studio, other dramatic team members are busy for the next scene, Eric sits near control desk, have a relish reads Ministry of Justice to deliver to the Chris subpoena, said to just Chris that caught up with from New York: „Therefore , our Mr. President also dislikes oneself trouble to be not enough, or he thinks that he must be impeached to leave office immediately, plans to satisfy a craving finally?” 《地心引力》的摄影棚内,其他剧组成员都在为下一个镜头忙碌,艾瑞克坐在操作台边,饶有兴致地翻看着司法部递送给克里斯的传票,对刚刚从纽约赶过来的克里斯道:“所以说,我们的总统先生还嫌自己身上的麻烦不够多,或者他以为自己马上就要被弹劾下台了,打算最后过一把瘾？” Zipper gate that erupts from the first half of the year not only has not subsided, instead presents the trend of getting stronger and stronger. 从上半年爆发的拉链门不但没有平息,反而呈现出愈演愈烈的趋势。 Recently, the United States House of Representatives opened to the Clinton judicial impeachment voting procedures, planned that to hinder the judicature, to be a suspect of forged evidence and other charges to impeach it, once through the voting, Clinton will become in the United States history third will encounter the impeachment President. 最近一段时间,美国众议院已经启了对克林顿的司法弹劾投票程序,打算以妨害司法、涉嫌伪证等罪名对其进行弹劾,一旦通过投票,克林顿将成为美国历史上第三位遭到弹劾的总统。 This critical moment, Kuririn is main public sedan chair supports absolutely, offends Firefly Group not to have any advantage to him, therefore, this subpoena appears makes people quite obscure. 这种关键时刻,克林绝对是最主要公众舆伦支持的,得罪萤火虫集团对他没有任何好处,因此,这张传票就显得让人颇为费解。 On the Chris face is having some happy expressions, said: „Before coming, I and Jenny. Reynolds through the telephone, she suggested that instead monopolized Bureau of Investigation to receive the anonymous material, that side Republican Party some people have brought the pressure on this matter, therefore they have to such do. But actually, this public hearing roughly is only an interlude, if the Kuririn government must aim at Firefly, receives the subpoena is you, but was not I.” 克里斯脸上带着些笑意,道:“来之前我和珍妮特.雷诺通过电话,她暗示说反垄断调查局收到了匿名材料,共和党那边又有人对这件事施加压力,所以他们才不得不这么做。但其实,这次听证会大致上只是一个过场,如果克林政府要针对萤火虫,收到传票的就是你而不是我了。” Eric hears the explanation of Chris, the thoughts of also again not having gotten to the root of a matter. A lot involve the politics, will turn into not being clear bad debts. Moreover, even if has attained Sony Film Industry, Firefly system in the Hollywood market share, absolutely does not have Exxon Mobil or AT&T of telecommunication of industry energy industry is so high in the respective domain market share, even if some people find fault intentionally, increases some twists and turns for this purchase case, the final result will not change. 艾瑞克听到克里斯的解释,也就没有再寻根究底的心思。很多事情涉及到政治,就会变成一本扯不清的烂账。而且,即使拿到了索尼影业,萤火虫体系在好莱坞的市场份额,也绝对没有能源产业的埃克森美孚或者电信产业的at-t在各自领域的市场份额那么高,即使有人故意找茬,为这次收购案增添一些波折,最终的结果也不会改变。 Gave back to Chris the subpoena in hand, Eric remembers his just words, suddenly said curiously: „Was right, Jenny special. Who is Reynolds?” 将手中的传票还给克里斯,艾瑞克想起他刚刚的话,突然好奇道:“对了,珍妮特.雷诺是谁？” Chris received the subpoena, clamps in the briefcase that in a memorandum admits itself to carry along, at the same time explained: „Justice Secretary, she in telephone also hopes that you can go to Washington to attend the public hearing next Tuesday together.” 克里斯接过传票,夹在一个记事本里放进自己随身携带的公文包,一边解释道:“司法部长,她在电话里也希望你下周二能一起去华盛顿出席听证会。” Eric shakes the head immediately: „I may unable to bear that situation, you went to be OK.” 艾瑞克立刻摇头:“我可受不了那种场合,你自己去就可以了。” Chris smiled, said: „My oneself. Moreover, the Yahoo newest IPO plan has been completed. Company original stock opens five, the total capital stock expansion is 1 billion 82 500,000 stocks. Distributes the new stock quantity is 150 million, the wholesale price decides as 33 USD temporarily. According to this wholesale price, the estimate value of Morgan Stanley to Yahoo probably is 35 700 million USD. New stock release proportion is equal to distributing 13.85% of total capital stock, collects fund scale 4.9 billion 5 million USD. Detailed plan book I have passed to Ms. Haynes, you find time to look.” 克里斯笑了笑,道:“那我就自己去了。另外,雅虎最新的ipo方案已经完成。公司原来的股票一拆五,总股本扩大为10亿8250万股。发行新股数量为1.5亿,发行价暂时定为33美元。按照这一发行价,摩根士丹利对雅虎的估值大概为357亿美元。新股发行比例相当于发行总股本的13.85%,筹集资金规模49亿500万美元。详细的方案书我已经传给海恩斯女士了,你抽空看一下。” Then, the Firefly investment and Morgan Stanley started to discuss at the beginning of this year Yahoo IPO plan, is only with the persistent change of NASDAQ market situation, the initial plan was already cast behind by all people. The Yahoo final date has been determined at the end of November, the distance now probably only the remaining two months, therefore, this plan basically is the final plan. 说起来,萤火虫投资与摩根士丹利今年年初就已经开始讨论雅虎的ipo方案,只是随着纳斯达克市场形势的持续变化,当初的方案早就被所有人抛诸脑后。雅虎最终的上市日期已经确定在11月底,距离现在大概只剩下两个月时间,因此,这份方案基本上就已经是最终方案。 Digests information that Chris was just giving, Eric sighs with emotion suddenly in a soft voice: „Is probably 5 billion USD.” 消化着克里斯刚刚给出的信息,艾瑞克突然轻声感慨道:“又是大概50亿美元啊。” Chris said with a smile: „What's wrong, did you also start not to have the confidence?” 克里斯笑道:“怎么,你也开始没有信心了？” Eric honest nod, knows about the North America stock market are more, he even more worries about the Yahoo IPO prospect. 艾瑞克诚实的点点头,对北美股票市场了解越多,他就越发担忧雅虎ipo的前景。 AOL can leverage successfully, looks like in Eric, it can be said that has caught up with the good opportunity. 美国在线能够成功套现,在艾瑞克看来,可以说是赶上了好时机。 The NASDAQ index tops 2000 points smoothly, in addition Morgan Stanley to the promotion of NASDAQ prospect, as well as Southeast Asia and Russia backflow capital demand investment opportunity, this made Firefly invest has completed successfully to reducing of AOL stock. 纳斯达克指数顺利突破2000点,再加上摩根士丹利对纳指前景的鼓吹,以及东南亚和俄罗斯回流资本需要投资机会,这才让萤火虫投资成功完成了对美国在线股票的减持。 However, according to the NASDAQ market more and more fierce rising momentum, the NASDAQ index likely fast will break at present 2500 at the end of the year. 不过,按照目前纳斯达克市场越来越凶猛的增长势头,年底纳斯达克指数很可能会快速突破2500点大关。 The AOL stock also calculates to be better at 2000 : 00 to 2500 leverages, but further deepens along with the bubble degree of hi-tech stock, when NASDAQ enters 2500 points to 3000 sectors, the Wall Street investor will raise once more to being vigilant that the stock crashes and worried. 美国在线股票在2000点到2500点套现还算好一些,但随着科技股的泡沫化程度进一步加深,等到纳指进入2500点到3000点区间,华尔街投资人会再次升起对股票崩盘的警惕和担忧。 In this case, Yahoo wants 100% to realize the listing, but also has many non- controllable factors. 这种情况下,雅虎想要100实现上市,还真存在着很多不可控因素。 Eric even worried that the listing of Yahoo can such as some media say, becomes last straw that crashes the hi-tech stock bubble. After all, even if Yahoo estimate value to the anticipation also difference in Eric heart in many, but in fact, regardless of any perspective, the Yahoo 35 700 million USD IPO estimate values has the serious bubble ingredient. 艾瑞克甚至担忧,雅虎的上市会不会真的如一些媒体所说,成为压垮科技股泡沫的最后一根稻草。毕竟,即使雅虎的估值离艾瑞克心中的期待还差上很多,但实际上,无论从任何方面来看,雅虎357亿美元的ipo估值都存在严重的泡沫成分。 Along with success reducing of AOL stock, Eric also can understand that now a matter, that is the high market value empty, the cash that only then takes is the solid thing. 随着对美国在线股票的成功减持,艾瑞克现在也越发能够理解一件事,那就是再高的市值都是虚的,只有拿到手的现金才是实实在在的东西。 Chris can guess correctly the Eric thoughts probably, comforts saying: „These days, my team also and Morgan Stanley to the Yahoo IPO risk has carried on several investigation and study together, from the feedback of market, so long as the NASDAQ overall bulk lots trend does not present the too big accident, the possibility of Yahoo IPO failure is very low.” 克里斯大概能够猜出艾瑞克的心思,安慰道:“这段时间,我的团队也和摩根士丹利一起对雅虎的ipo风险进行过几次调研,从市场的反馈来说,只要纳斯达克整体的大盘走势不出现太大变故,雅虎ipo失败的可能性很低。” „I worried that now Yahoo itself becomes that affects the NASDAQ index trend ‚accident’.” “我现在就担心雅虎本身会成为影响纳斯达克指数走势的一个‘变故’。” Chris also has this type to worry obviously that the expression has hesitated, said: „Actually, if Yahoo IPO is defeated really does not have anything, we through reducing AOL have attained 10 billion USD, subtracts purchases the Sony Film Industry service the disbursement, the remainders enough will also support the Yahoo next few years continuation expansion.” 克里斯显然也有着这种担忧,语气迟疑了下,道:“其实,如果雅虎ipo真的失败也没什么,我们已经通过减持美国在线拿到了100亿美元,减去收购索尼电影业务的支出,剩余部分也足够支撑雅虎未来几年的继续扩张。” Eric also thought own some are swayed by personal gains and losses, oneself experienced was too successful, is defeated one time, said that also at is not anything. 艾瑞克也觉得自己有些过于患得患失,自己已经经历了太多成功,失败一次,说起来也根本不算什么。 They also chatted several, not far away Nickel Frank hints the Eric next scene to prepare, Chris then on own initiative sets out saying: „I first went to that side the Culver city, I and Sony Group the representatives of also had a brief meeting.” 两人又聊了几句,不远处的尼克尔弗兰克示意艾瑞克下一个镜头已经准备好,克里斯便主动起身道:“那我就先去卡尔弗城那边了,我和索尼集团的代表还有一个碰头会。” Recently recently, team of Firefly investment continuously audited Sony Film Industry property and debt and other aspect information, this is Chris will also catch up with the Los Angeles reason. 最近这些日子,萤火虫投资的团队一直在对索尼影业的资产和负债等方面信息进行审计,这也是克里斯会赶来洛杉矶的原因。 Eric sets out, delivers Chris to walk toward movie studio outside, half jokingly said: „Or leads you to go to some party to transfer the revolutions in the evening, relaxes?” 艾瑞克起身,送克里斯朝摄影棚外走去,半开玩笑道:“要不晚上带你去一些派对转转,放松一下？” „, Is consider as finished,” Chris shakes the head, said: „Moreover, I will fly in the evening probably ahead of time San Francisco, tomorrow the Firefly electron must convene Board of Directors.” “呵,还是算了,”克里斯摇头,道:“而且,我晚上大概会提前飞去旧金山,明天萤火虫电子要召开董事会。” „Mentioned this, Sony should relate that side discussion technological patent exchange the matter, you told Victor again their one, this time must attain the miniature photograph module technology. Other day Victor went to Japan to fly back without any results, if their this time dares to handle to pound the matter again, my this Boss did not mind that smashed their rice bowls.” “说起这个,索尼应该联系那边讨论技术专利交换的事情了,你再告诉维克多他们一声,这次一定要拿到微型摄像模块技术。上回维克多去日本去无功而返,如果他们这次再敢把事情做砸了,我这个老板不介意把他们的饭碗砸了。” Chris thinks that said: „Actually I also somewhat would rather not, once Sony attains the technological patent of digital music player, their md may become the irelyer player biggest threats.” 克里斯想了想,说道:“其实我也有些不太情愿,索尼一旦拿到数字音乐播放器的技术专利,他们的md可能会成为irelyer播放器最大的威胁。” They get to the movie studio entrance, one group of people are also waiting, Eric has not delivered Chris to go to the meaning of parking lot personally, but stops the footsteps , to continue saying: „So long as limited Sony only to use the innate atra audio format to be OK. By Sony internal problem numerous conditions, I did not think that they can promote an audio format alone, and has the strict copyright limit audio format, must know that we from initially took the MP2 patent further research and develop to the irelyer player, has used for five years. Let alone, the Firefly electron also needs a match, if they are in various aspects in the superior situation are also surpassed by Sony, I also accept fate, then dismisses completely these fellows.” 两人走到摄影棚门口,身后还有一堆人等着,艾瑞克也没有亲自送克里斯去停车场的意思,只是停下脚步,继续道:“只要限制索尼只能使用自有的atra音频格式就可以了。以索尼内部问题重重的状况,我不觉得他们能够单独推广一种音频格式,而且还是有着严格版权限制的音频格式,要知道,我们从当初拿下mp2专利进行进一步研发到irelyer播放器,足足用了五年时间。更何况,萤火虫电子也需要一个对手,如果他们在各方面都处在优势的情况下还被索尼超过,那我也认命,然后把那些家伙全部开除掉。” Chris realized that the Eric manner is firm, no longer persuaded, but on the face was having some smiles, said: „Needs me to pass on to them the original words?” 克里斯意识到艾瑞克态度坚决,也不再劝说,只是脸上带着些微笑,道:“需要我把原话转告他们吗？” „I am Boss, must guarantee that own man-of-the-people image,” Eric shakes the head immediately, a face has a strong sense of righteousness: „Unprincipled person is you do certainly.” “我可是老板,要保证自己的亲民形象,”艾瑞克立刻摇头,一脸大义凛然:“坏人当然是你来做。” Chris knows that Eric is cracking a joke , the nod said with a smile: „Good, I am the bad police.” 克里斯知道艾瑞克是在开玩笑,也点头笑道:“好吧,我来做坏警察。”
