时间已经是十月底,距离萤火虫体系年底档期第一部电影的上映已经不足十天时间。Firefly Groupaltogetherwill distributethreemoviesat the end of the year, on November13《Ted》 of Thanksgivingrunning schedule, December4«Elizabeth»as well asDecember11«The Waterboy».萤火虫集团年底一共将发行三部电影,11月13日感恩节档期的《泰迪熊》,12月4日的《伊丽莎白》以及12月11日的《茶水男孩》。《Ted》isproject of Ericpersonallyattention, needless to say.《泰迪熊》是艾瑞克亲自关注的项目,自不必说。«Elizabeth»wasFireflylast year and Elizabethfirstbioflavonoid of United KingdomWorking-TitleFilm Studiocooperation, byKateBlanchetteacted the leading role, the essential targetisimpactthis year'sOscar.
《伊丽莎白》是萤火虫去年与英国Working-Title电影公司合作的伊丽莎白一世传记片,由凯特・布兰切特主演,主要目标是冲击今年的奥斯卡。AlthoughbyWorking-Title of PolyGramholdingas a result of the purchase of SeagramtoPolyGramgroup, becameSeagramgroupandUniversal PicturesclosecooperationFilm Studio, Juliaalsothereforehad initially turned downWorking-Titlethat«Notting Hill».
虽然被宝丽金控股的Working-Title由于西格拉姆对宝丽金集团的收购,已经成为西格拉姆集团旗下与环球影业紧密合作的电影公司,茱莉亚当初还因此推掉了Working-Title的那部《诺丁山》。However, the manufacture and distribution rights of «Elizabeth»actuallymake a final decisionbefore the SeagrampurchasePolyGram, the cooperation in variousaspectshad not been affectedactually.
不过,《伊丽莎白》的制作和发行权却是在西格拉姆收购宝丽金之前敲定的,各方面的合作倒是没有受到影响。Final«The Waterboy», after isAdamSandler'sanothercomedy moviefollowingthis year'sEasterrunning scheduleBox Officegood«The Wedding Singer». Then, on December11film marketquitelonely a timebetweenThanksgiving and Christmas day, was not the goodrunning schedule, butwellin the «The Waterboy»production costonly then23 millionUSD, returned tothispressurenot to be big.
最后的《茶水男孩》,是亚当・桑德勒继今年复活节档期票房不错的《婚礼歌手》之后的又一部喜剧片。说起来,12月11日正值感恩节和圣诞节之间电影市场比较冷清的一段时期,并不是什么好档期,但好在《茶水男孩》的制作成本只有2300万美元,回本压力不大。Except for the Firefly Groupthreemovies, Metro Goldwyn MayerNovember20«Mission: Impossible3»andJanuary 1 of next year«The Fast and the Furious»\;FoxNovember6«HorseLanguage»andDecember18«StarPre-warBiography1»\;ColumbiaNovember13«The Faculty»andDecember25«Stepmom», was only these ninemovies of Fireflysystem, has pushed the entirethe end of the yearrunning schedulechock full.
除了萤火虫集团的三部电影,米高梅11月20日的《碟中谍3》和明年1月1日的《速度与激情》\;福克斯11月6日的《马语者》和12月18日的《星战前传1》\;哥伦比亚11月13日的《夺命高校》和12月25日的《亲亲小妈》,只是萤火虫体系的这九部电影,就已经将整个年底档期挤得满满当当。Otherthreebig, Universalwill distributetwomovie«Skilled artistSentimentReally»and«Sixth senseLife and deathReason», Paramountsimilarlyistwo, «Star Trek9: Revolt»and2 DHand-Drawn Animationmovie«Mulan», finalWarneronly thenmovie《You've Got Mail》 of mediummanufacture, appears the comparisongoes down in the world.
其他三大,环球将发行两部电影《妙手情真》和《第六感生死缘》,派拉蒙同样是两部,《星际迷航9:起义》和2D手绘动画电影《木兰》,最后的华纳就只有一部中等制作的爱情片《电子情书》,显得比较落魄。As formovies of other23Film Studioreleases, thenbasicallynotinsevenbigattentionscopes.
至于其他23线电影公司发行的影片,则基本上不在七大的关注范围之内。Thesepotentialgood23Film Studio that aspreliminarycompletion of mediagroupconformitytide, presentedin the 80's, such as the newline, Miramax, Orion, Carlockwait/etc., eitherwere incorporatedbybigFilm Studio, eitherborders on the bankruptvigorno longer. NewonebatchcanarousesevenbiginterestsFilm Studiosingle-handedly, such as the liongate, peak in originalspace and timewait/etc., is at the beginning stage, cannot poseanythreattobigFilm Studiocompletely.
随着传媒集团整合大潮的初步完成,八十年代出现的那些潜力不错的23线电影公司,诸如新线、米拉麦克斯、猎户座、卡洛克等等,要么被大电影公司收编,要么濒临破产活力不再。新一批能够引起七大关注的独力电影公司,诸如原时空中的狮门、顶峰等等,都还处在萌芽阶段,完全对大制片厂构不成任何威胁。Meanwhile, the traditionalmedia giantcompletesconformity, the Internetnewmediais on the rise, cansaythatin recent yearsabsolutelyis the Hollywoodmediainfluencemost powerfultime. Moreover, without a doubt, is controlling the Fireflysystem of mostHollywood, isbecame the North Americamediaprofessionindisputablesuperoverlord.
与此同时,传统传媒巨头完成整合,互联网新媒体方兴未艾,可以说,最近几年绝对是好莱坞传媒势力最强盛的时期。而且,毫无疑问,控制着大半个好莱坞的萤火虫体系,更是已经成为北美传媒行业无可争议的超级霸主。As the Fireflysystemabsolutemaster, annexesColumbiaFilm Studio after once more, Ericrecently is also at the mediacloseattention from all walks of life.
作为萤火虫体系绝对的控制者,再次吞并哥伦比亚电影公司之后,艾瑞克最近一段时间也一直都处在各界媒体密切的关注当中。Ericnaturallydoes not have the energyto care aboutthese, returns toLos Angeles, heentered the Fireflycinema citylatework room, startsdedicatedcarries on the preliminaryreorganizationto the «Gravity»scenesource material.艾瑞克自然没有精力在意这些,回到洛杉矶,他就钻进了萤火虫影城的后期工作室,开始专注地对《地心引力》的镜头素材进行初步整理。However, althoughis unable the direct contactEric, butthesemediaquicklyhad actually foundanotherexplosivenews story, thatreceivedfootwoundCarolyn.
不过,虽然无法直接接触到艾瑞克,但这些媒体却很快找到了另外一个爆炸性的新闻点,那就是受了脚伤的卡洛琳。In the pastthatshyyoungtour guide, nowEricWilliams‚smallhot pepper’, hasCambridge and Harvardhighschool record, has the noblehigh blood, in additionmight be called the perfectfinesemblance...... Thissimplyis the optimalcandidate of Fireflyempirequeen.
当年那个腼腆的小导游,现在艾瑞克・威廉姆斯的‘小辣椒’,有着剑桥和哈佛的高学历,有着高贵的贵族血统,再加上堪称完美的精致外表……这简直就是萤火虫帝国王后的最优人选啊。
The topicwas selected, naturallyisoneto the Ericsidewoman‚inventorying’, clear(ly)darknessmaking groundless accusations in of hearsay, is very suddenly lively, sometabloid newspaperevenpulledon the topictwokids.
话题被挑起来,自然又是一阵对艾瑞克身边女人的‘盘点’,明里的暗里的道听途说的捕风捉影的,一时间好不热闹,一些小报甚至将话题扯到了两个小家伙身上。In recent years, Erichas not concealedto havetwochildren'snewsdesirably, so long as the general publicspay attentionslightly, canobtain the relatednews. However, the bottom line that stemming from the security concerns of twokids, Ericcanaffect the media that drawstovariousaspectsisabsolutelycannotdisclosetwochildren'spictures, namesas well as the addressand other sensitive information.
这些年来,艾瑞克从来没有刻意隐瞒过自己已经有了两个孩子的消息,普通民众只要稍微关注一下,就能够获得相关的新闻。不过,出于对两个小家伙的安全考虑,艾瑞克给各方面可以影响到的媒体划定的底线就是绝对不能透露两个孩子的照片、姓名以及住址等敏感信息。AlthoughEricis the public figure, butheisonehas the superrich and powerful people of formidablesocial influencesimilarly. InUnited Statessuchsociety, offends the capitaloffending the consequence of powerful officialis much bigger, thisfrequentlyblows out all kinds ofscandalsfrommanypoliticiansand evenPresident, butactually the rich and powerful people in fewwhichForbeslistscanseeby the mediaentanglement.艾瑞克虽然是公众人物,但他同样是一个拥有强大社会影响力的超级富豪。在美国这样的社会,得罪资本比得罪权贵的后果要大得多,这从很多政要乃至总统都经常爆出各种各样的丑闻,但却很少有哪位福布斯榜单上的富豪被媒体纠缠就可以看出。Therefore, so far, all partiesalsotacitlyobserve the red line that Ericdraws. Thistimehits the discussion that approachestotwokids, finallyalsoflowed to the individual wealthinheritance of Eric. Althoughdraws a chargefromnext yearForbesrich and powerful peoplelistlistalsohasless than halfyear, but the United Statesmedia the statistics of all walks of lifeare havingregardingrich and powerful peoplenet worthactuallyevery time.
因而,到目前为止,各方也都默契地遵守着艾瑞克划定的红线。这次对两个小家伙打擦边的讨论,最终也流向了艾瑞克的个人财富传承上。虽然距离明年的福布斯富豪榜榜单出炉还有小半年时间,但美国媒体对于各界富豪身家的统计其实每时每刻都在发生着。Manymediaspeculated, onceYahoogoes on the marketsuccessfully, in light ofEricin this year the sale pricegrows, hisindividual wealth likely againsetsnew high, surpassesunprecedented200billionUSD.
很多媒体都推测,一旦雅虎成功上市,结合艾瑞克这一年来的身价增长,他的个人财富很可能再创新高,超过史无前例的2000亿美元。Suchmay be calledterrorwealth, even ifwill no longer growin the future, undercurrentfederal law, ifin the futuremustinheritnormally, needsto payover a thousandhundred millionUSDinheritance tax. Althoughis doomedto have nothing to dowithoneself, butthistopicmakesmanypeoplelove to talk about, after all, pays taxesone timeover100billionUSD, butthinksthatletseven ifcompletelyirregularpersonanxietytobeing very anxious.
这样一笔堪称恐怖的财富,即使未来不再增长,按照当前的联邦法律,将来如果要正常传承下去,也需要交纳上千亿美元的遗产税。虽然注定与自己无关,但这个话题却让很多民众津津乐道,毕竟,一次性缴税超过1000亿美元,只是想想,就让很多哪怕完全不相干的人都肉疼到牵肠挂肚。Tofinally, somepositionsreducedoreliminated the inheritance tax the media and politiciansseizes the chanceto jump, joinsto the discussion of thistopic.
到了最后,一些主张减免或者取消遗产税的媒体和政客都趁机跳了出来,加入到这个话题的讨论当中。Fireflycinema city.萤火虫影城。
The Yahoodateapproachesday after day, Ericis too busy to leavetemporarily, YahooseveralmanagementandChrisspeciallyhave then caught uptoday, discussedsomedetails of Yahoolisting.雅虎的上市日期日渐临近,艾瑞克暂时走不开,雅虎的几位高管和克里斯今天便特意赶了过来,商讨雅虎上市的一些细节。InworkLOFT of figuredomain, sitsintwobuildingsapproaches the rest area of glass curtain wall, entersin the subjectbeforehandexchanging greetingsprocess, everybodychattedto revolvearoundErictopicunavoidablyrecently.
数字领域的办公LOFT内,坐在二楼靠近玻璃幕墙的休息区,进入正题之前的寒暄过程中,大家难免聊起最近围绕在艾瑞克身上的话题来。InEricis holdingonecoffee, by chairback, toChrisandIanGonuland otherhumanity: „ActuallyI thought that ifIcanbeforeoneselfdierichsquanders, thatis the optimum condition, the one centdoes not needto giveInternal Revenue Serviceto remain, as for the children, Ihopes that theycansupport oneself.”艾瑞克手里捧着一杯咖啡,靠在椅背上,对克里斯、伊恩・格尼尔等人道:“其实我觉得,如果我能在自己死之前把所有钱都花光,那才是最佳状态,一分钱都不用给国税局留,至于孩子们,我还是更希望他们能够自食其力。”„Thisis an arduousduty,”Chrissaid with a smile: „Even if not the profit that every yearhas, calculatesaccording to200billionUSDfixed assets, ifyoucanlive100 years old, from now on, youwill needto spend8 millionUSDevery day.”
“这可是一个艰巨的任务,”克里斯笑道:“即使不算每年产生的利润,按照2000亿美元固定资产来算,如果你能够活到100岁,从现在开始,你就需要每天花掉800万美元。”„8 millionUSD,”Ericlooks the onlyfemaletoseveralpeople, said: „Tina, yourwomancomparisonscanspend, helpingmethink how Ishouldbe ableevery dayto spend8 millionUSD?”
“800万美元啊,”艾瑞克看向几人中唯一一个女性,道:“蒂娜,你们女人比较会花钱,帮我想想,我该怎么才能每天花掉800万美元?”Jeff after Lockerleaves, EricinitiallypersonallychoiceTinaBrownfor these yearsgradually the promotionwas one of the Yahoonewthreegiants, statusinYahooCorporationgraduallywithIanGonulandSteveMitnickposted.杰夫・洛克离开之后,艾瑞克当初亲自挑选的蒂娜・布朗这几年逐渐晋升为雅虎新的三巨头之一,在雅虎公司中的地位逐渐与伊恩・格尼尔和史蒂夫・米特尼克并列。Hears the Ericissue, TinaBrownmakes the pondershape, after the moment, said with a smile: „This, youmustmakemetryto be goodfirst.”
听到艾瑞克的问题,蒂娜・布朗做思考状,片刻后,笑道:“这个,你得先让我试试才行。”Ericreveals the exaggeratingimmediatelyvigilantexpression: „Iaskedothers.”艾瑞克立刻露出夸张的警惕表情:“那我还是去问别人吧。”Everybodyhas smiled.
大家都笑了起来。Chattedseveral, severaltalented peoplediscussedinto the subject.
闲聊几句,几人才谈入正题。Yahoogoes on the market, a quitedifficultissue that faces is fivebigRecord Companydigital musiccopyrightlawsuits.雅虎上市,面临的一个比较棘手的问题就是与五大唱片公司的数字音乐版权诉讼案。In the first half of the year, because the Internetpiratingdigital musiceruptsto the impact that the entityphonograph recordprofessionhassuddenly, in additionrising of Fireflyerplayer, fivebigRecord Companystartedhas attacked the Internetmusic piracy the large-scalelawsuit, while convenientalsohas treated as the lawsuitgoalYahooCorporation.
上半年,由于互联网盗版数字音乐对实体唱片行业造成的冲击陡然爆发,再加上Fireflyer播放器的崛起,五大唱片公司发动了打击互联网盗版音乐的大规模诉讼,顺带也将雅虎公司当做了诉讼目标。Perhapssettled onYahoosoonto face the IPOsoft rib, fivebigRecord Companyregardingachieved the manner in out of court settlementto be strongwithYahoo.
或许是看准了雅虎即将面临IPO的软肋,五大唱片公司对于和雅虎达成庭外和解方面的态度非常强硬。„FivebigRecord Companyinsistedat presentas beforethreemain conditions,”IanGonulintroduced: „Firstisto strengthenweb portal and filtration of search enginetomusic piracyresourcesevenforces out, secondwantsusto openfivebigRecord Companyto establishin view of the digital musicstorejurisdiction of Fireflyerplayeralone, lastis the compensation, althoughlowered the amount of indemnification, but the opposite partyrequests the cash compensation of 20 millionUSDas before.”
“五大唱片公司目前依旧坚持三个主要条件,”伊恩・格尼尔介绍道:“第一是加强门户网站和搜索引擎对盗版音乐资源的过滤甚至封杀,第二是要我们开放五大唱片公司单独成立针对Fireflyer播放器的数字音乐商店权限,最后一条是赔偿,虽然调低了赔偿金额,但对方依旧要求2000万美元的现金赔偿。”
The Ericdoubtssaid: „Ifreaches the agreementinfirsttwo, theyshouldservetheirpurpose, why can also insist on the 20 millionUSDcompensation? Thisregardingindividualperhapsis a great sum of money, butregardingfivebigRecord Company, is only a dispensablechange?”艾瑞克疑惑道:“如果在前两条上达成协议,他们应该就已经达到了自己的目的,为什么还要坚持2000万美元赔偿?这对于个人或许是一笔巨款,但对于五大唱片公司来说,只是一笔可有可无的小钱吧?”Chrissaid: „Thisshouldbe the opposite partyentrustsinsistence of attorney.”克里斯道:“这应该是对方委托律师方面的坚持。”Ericunderstandsimmediately.艾瑞克立刻明白过来。
The United Statesattorneysocial stratumstatussois why high, becausemainlytheyreallymade money. The economic basisdecides the overtop structure, a these wordspointright. Such asin the right infringementlawsuitsrelated tothesebigcompanies, does not proposefrequentlyseveral millionUSDfixedlegal fees, onceattains the large amountcompensation, attorneycanextract30%evenhighersharesdirectly.美国的律师阶层为什么地位那么高,主要还是因为他们实在是太赚钱了。经济基础决定上层建筑,这句话一点都没错。诸如涉及到这些大公司之间的侵权诉讼案,不提动辄数百万美元的固定诉讼费,一旦拿到巨额赔偿,律师方面直接就能从中抽取30%甚至更高的分成。Caressesin the hand the plain surface of coffee cup, Ericis asking: „That, what is everybody'spresentmeaning?”
摩挲着手中咖啡杯的光滑表面,艾瑞克问道:“那么,大家现在的意思是什么?”„Everybodyhas discussedin detail,”IanGonulsaid: „Weregarded as importantthislitigationbeforeto the YahooIPOpossiblepotential impact. But ifweacceptedfivebigRecord Companyconditions, not onlywill injure greatlytous the potential benefitindigital musicsale, in the meantime, thiscompromisecompletelyhas also violated the corespirit of Internet platformopeningandsharing. Therefore, wedid not planto reconcile, inYahooclose to the listingthese days, propagandized the Internetto open and concept of sharingas far as possible, guided the media and public and theory. So long asIPOcanbe successful, fivebigRecord Companydo not wantto winanyinitiativein front ofYahooagain.”
“大家详细讨论过,”伊恩・格尼尔道:“我们之前太看重这起诉讼案对雅虎IPO可能造成的潜在影响了。但如果我们答应了五大唱片公司的条件,不但会大大伤害到我们在数字音乐销售上的潜在利益,同时,这种妥协也完全违背了互联网平台开放和共享的核心精神。所以,我们不打算和解了,尽可能地在雅虎临近上市这一段时间,宣传互联网开放和共享的概念,引导媒体和公众與论。只要IPO能够成功,五大唱片公司就不要再想在雅虎面前获得任何主动权。”IanGonul'sexcuseappears is very have a strong sense of righteousness.伊恩・格尼尔的说辞显得很是大义凛然。However, thinkscarefully, ifcanreverse and theorywind direction, then, Yahoocantransformimmediatelyfrom the ignominiouscopyrighttrespasserdoes the strugglewith the stubbornandconservativemusiccopyrightbusinessfor the justmessenger who the publicseeksopeningsharing, thisviewis actually shameless, butcancater to the mainstreamabsolutely the Internetvalues.
不过,仔细想想,如果真的能够扭转與论风向,那么,雅虎就可以立刻从可耻的版权侵害者转换成与顽固而保守的音乐版权商做斗争为公众寻求开放共享的正义使者,这种说法其实更无耻,但绝对可以迎合主流的互联网价值观。
The key of thismatter, needs the publicmediato carry on the propagandacoordination.
这件事的关键,还是需要公共媒体进行宣传配合。Although the Fireflysystemis quite weakin the traditionalpapermediainfluence, buton the influencebiggertelevision media, hasany othermediainfluenceunapproachableformidableenergies, as for the emergingInternet media, occupies the Yahoogateways of North America70%web portalcurrent capacityshares, is the private plot of Fireflysystem.萤火虫体系虽然在传统的纸质媒体方面势力比较薄弱,但在影响力更大的电视媒体上,却拥有其他任何传媒势力都无可匹敌的强大能量,至于新兴的互联网媒体,占据北美70%门户网站流量份额的雅虎门户,就更是萤火虫体系的自留地。Sinceraisesat this time, IanGonuland the othershad the detaileddrumming up supportplanobviously, the groupcoordinatednaturallynot to haveanyhindrance, everybodyrevolvedthisplanto discussin detail, Ericalsoat the scenepersonallygaveMurdochto make a phone call, hopesseveralmainstreamnewspaper that News Corpgraspedcancoordinateatthismatter.
既然此时提出来,伊恩・格尼尔等人显然已经拥有了详细的造势方案,集团这边配合起来自然也没有任何阻碍,大家围绕这份方案详细讨论了一阵,艾瑞克还当场亲自给默多克打了一个电话,希望新闻集团掌握的几家主流报纸能够在这件事上予以配合。Then, News Corponly thenhad handed over20th Century FoxFilm Studiothisscrap in Elizabethhand to be countedpart of FireflysystembyMurdoch, FOXTV Networkalsohasquiteclosealliancewith the Fireflysystem. Othermajorpart, for exampleUnited Kingdom, Australianas well as the North Americahugepapermedia network, as well asTV Network of United KingdomandFar Eastwinds, as in Murdochmycontrolfirmly. Has managedpainstaking carefor a lifetime, Murdochis naturally impossibleto let loosetheseauthorities, Erichas not thoughtthisgood deed.
说起来,新闻集团只有已经被默多克交到伊丽莎白手中的二十世纪福克斯电影公司这一小块能够算作萤火虫体系的一部分,FOX电视网也只是与萤火虫体系存在比较紧密的联盟关系。其他更大一部分,比如英国、澳洲以及北美的庞大纸质媒体网络,以及英国和远东的电视网络,依旧在默多克本人的牢牢控制当中。经营了一辈子的心血,默多克自然不可能放开这些权力,艾瑞克也没有想过这种好事。However, the presentFireflysystem, the propertyscale of controlisentireNews Corp over tentimes, Murdochalsoknows that maintains the advantage that with the Fireflysystem the cooperationcanbring, hears the request of Ericin the telephone, the naturefull mouthcomplies.
不过,现在的萤火虫体系,控制的资产规模已经是整个新闻集团的十倍以上,默多克也知道和萤火虫体系保持合作关系能带来的好处,在电话里听到艾瑞克的请求,自然满口答应下来。Has decidedthismatter, everybodyalsodiscussed before YahooIPO , the detail of laststockholder's rightsdriveplan, IanGonul, SteveMitnickandTina the Brownthreepeoplehastilyleave, fliesNew YorkandABC and FOXhigh-leveldiscussionconcretecontrols the detailwith the theory, hurries toSan Franciscoto inspect the YahooSilicon Valleybranch, finalTinaBrownflies back toBostonthisunitto assume personal command. Was less thanfromIPO for onemonth, threepeople are busy at the footdo not moisten.
敲定了这件事,大家又讨论了一番雅虎IPO之前最后一次股权激励方案的细节,伊恩・格尼尔、史蒂夫・米特尼克和蒂娜・布朗三人就匆匆离开,一个飞去纽约与ABC、FOX高层商讨具体的與论控制细节,一个赶去旧金山考察雅虎的硅谷分部,最后的蒂娜・布朗则飞回波士顿本部坐镇。距离IPO已经不到一个月,三人都是忙得脚不沾地。Finishes talkingallmatters, the timeisin the evening, sends offIanin the parking lot the Gonulthreepeople, Chrissharplydeparture, has not been spreadingwithEricon the cement road in cinema citycampus.
谈完所有事情,时间已经是傍晚,在停车场送走伊恩・格尼尔三人,克里斯并没有急着离开,和艾瑞克一起散布在影城园区的水泥路上。„Actually, the issueaboutwealthinheritance, Eric, yourpropertyscaleis extremely huge, nowshouldmakedozen of consider as finished, youdo not think that reallysomeday of little darling50%net worthgives the federal government, even, when the time comes, XiaxiaandKevintheyare impossibleto attainhalf.”
“其实,关于财富传承的问题,艾瑞克,你的资产规模太过庞大,现在就应该做打算了,你不会真想某一天乖乖地把一半身家上交给联邦政府吧,甚至,到时候,夏夏和凯文他们根本就不可能拿到一半。”Gives the devil his due, Ericnaturallydoes not wantsuchto do, heto the presentalsotoplacingthenationalanysense of belonging, naturallyhas not hadwhatintensesocial responsibilities.
平心而论,艾瑞克自然不想这么做,他到现在也对身处的这个国家没有任何归属感,自然也就没有什么强烈的社会责任感。If possible, actually, hejustwithChrisseveralpeoplebeforedying the joke that moneysquandersisowninnermost thoughts, inhisboneinheritsthismatterregarding the wealthis maintaining very pessimisticmanner. After all, in the memorywas instilled intotoomanyrichwas aboutthreegenerationsand so onconcept, is very difficultto determine that inowndescendantscanpresent the black sheep of the family.
如果可能的话,其实,他刚刚和克里斯几人关于死掉之前把钱花光的玩笑就是自己的心里话,他骨子里对于财富传承这种事情一直都是保持着非常悲观的态度。毕竟,记忆里被灌输了太多富不过三代之类的概念,很难确定自己的子孙里面会不会出现败家子。RegardingChris, Ericdoes not haveanythingto conceal, saidoneselfscruplesat heartvery muchearnestly.
对于克里斯,艾瑞克也没有什么隐瞒,很认真地说了自己心里的顾忌。„Thisis notissue,”Chrissaid with a smile: „Youhave a look at the presentMorganFamily, Rockefeller Family, hundredyearspassed, theirsceneryis as before infinite, thisis not the descendants of thesefamiliesis also splendid, why do youknow?”
“这并不是什么问题啊,”克里斯笑道:“你看看现在的摩根家族,还有洛克菲勒家族,已经百年过去,他们依旧风光无限,这也并不是这些家族的子孙有多麽出色,你知道为什么吗?”„Em?”
“恩?”„Even ifbecause the founders of thesefamilieshave elapsedmanyyears, the severefamilytrust fundrule that butthroughsets upfrom the beginning, the wealthinheritance of thesefamiliesare following the wills of theseold fogiesas before, canchangewithoutanydescendants, so long asinthesedescendantspresentssomeenoughoutstandingtalented person, thesefamiliescanbe prosperousin the originalprofound detailfoundation. Thisaspect, youcanmakeCarolyntheyhelpyoucollectsomematerials.”
“因为即使这些家族的创始人已经逝去很多年,但通过从一开始就设立的严苛的家族信托基金规则,这些家族的财富传承依旧遵循着这些老家伙的意志,没有任何一个子孙能够改变,而只要这些子孙里面出现一些足够出色的人才,这些家族就能够在原有的深厚底蕴基础上重新兴盛起来。这方面,你可以让卡洛琳他们帮你收集一些资料。”
