Brand-new AOL Time Warner the group thoroughly becomes a populace holding company. Did not have the owning stocks share and influence enough powerful major stockholder, the domination of new company completely will also control in Board of Directors and management hand. 只要接下来美国在线与时代华纳的合并案顺利进行,萤火虫投资手中持有的那7.6%股权也会被再一次压缩。全新的美国在线-时代华纳集团将彻底成为一家大众持股公司。没有了持股份额和影响力都足够强势的大股东,新公司的控制权也将完全掌控在董事会和管理层手中。 As future new company established Chairman and CEO, without a doubt, Steve the leader who Kyes becomes this soon will be born the comprehensive media giant who has great power. 作为未来新公司既定的董事长兼CEO,毫无疑问,史蒂夫・凯斯将成为这家即将诞生的综合性传媒巨头大权在握的掌门人。 Often thinks of these, Steve Kyes cannot bear be many several points of self-satisfaction. He believes that so long as completes the merge, in adds is bigger than under two cooperative effect promotions, AOL Time Warner the group will be far in excess of Yahoo absolutely, becomes Internet media giant who North America is second to none. 每每想到这些,史蒂夫・凯斯心里就忍不住多出几分志得意满。他相信,只要完成合并,在一加一大于二的协同效应促进下,美国在线-时代华纳集团绝对会远远超越雅虎,成为北美首屈一指的互联网传媒巨头。 The attendant of waiting in side carries the champagne to people, Steve Kyes took one glass of liquor, to this time walks to several Wall Street investment fund heads who he provides the aid with smile on the face. 等待在旁的侍应生给众人端上香槟,史蒂夫・凯斯取了一杯酒,面带微笑地率先向这次给他提供援手的几家华尔街投资基金负责人走去。 After the negotiations, the stock market price of this transfer of share rights finally the determination is 93 USD, only lowered 0.69 USD compared with recent one week of AOL average stock price merely.

If not favor AOL and Time Warner merges the later development potential, Wall Street this time will not get rid. 最近一段时间,随着纳斯达克指数超过2800点,华尔街对纳指崩盘的担忧也越来越强烈,很多投资机构都在尽力卖出科技股套现。如果不是看好美国在线与时代华纳合并之后的发展潜力,华尔街这次根本不会出手。 Eric is not willing to yield, Steve Kyes actually has no alternative, had promised additionally after a Board of Directors seat, Wall Street several investment fund finally agree to take over the stock in clover fund hand. 艾瑞克不愿意让步,史蒂夫・凯斯却别无选择,额外许诺了一个董事会席位之后,华尔街的几家投资基金才终于同意接手三叶草基金手中的股票。 The end of last year 《The New York Times》 interview event, in addition this time dispute in bargain price, Steve Kyes and Eric invested AOL the good relations also thorough dissipation that from the Firefly system started to establish completely, although AOL and Yahoo have some cooperation, but can want to see, in the future relations between both sides, will favor the competition and opposition. 去年年底的《纽约时报》专访事件,再加上这次在交易价格上的争执,史蒂夫・凯斯与艾瑞克从萤火虫体系投资美国在线开始建立起来的良好关系也彻底消散殆尽,虽然美国在线与雅虎还有着一些合作,但可以想见,将来双方之间的关系,将更加倾向于竞争和对立。 Therefore, at simple cocktail party after signing ceremony, Steve Kyes is even disinclined to maintain again maintains the friendliness in surface, with several Wall Street fund heads talked and laughed merrily at the same time, this time participated in the Firefly system representative of signing ceremony regarding the passer-by completely. 因此,签字仪式后的简单酒会上,史蒂夫・凯斯甚至懒得再维持保持表面上的和气,与几家华尔街基金负责人谈笑风生的同时,完全将这次参与签字仪式的萤火虫体系代表当成了路人。 Eric very can understand Steve actually Kyes's mood, if this matter falls to oneself on, he also not necessarily can also maintain the demeanor. 艾瑞克倒是挺能理解史蒂夫・凯斯的情绪,如果这种事情落到自己身上,他也不见得还能保持风度。 However, since the opposite party regards itself the passer-by, Eric does not have to continue treat bored, leads Chris and the others to leave quickly together. 不过,既然对方把自己当成路人,艾瑞克也没有无聊到继续待下去,很快带着克里斯等人一起离开。 Sold the AOL stock to start from last year, Eric had decided that the fund of following 1-2 years of leverage will be used to invest completely maintains the value also safe the enough short-term to be possible sufficiently the convertible bond, the fund of this acquisition did not need to discuss that were actually too many. The NASDAQ market fell into the completely evasive crazy condition, although Eric went out of once curve to be full of confidence to NASDAQ, suppressed as far as possible is not selling the stock that the clover fund stored up ahead of time, but at this time, he does not dare to enter the arena to buy up the hi-tech stock again. 从去年卖出美国在线股票开始,艾瑞克就已经决定将接下来一两年套现的资金全部都用来投资足以保值也足够保险的短期可转换债券,这次获得的资金倒是不用讨论太多。纳斯达克市场已经陷入完全不可捉摸的疯狂状态,虽然艾瑞克对纳指走出曾经的曲线充满了信心,尽可能抑制着不提前卖出三叶草基金囤积的股票,但此时,他也不敢再进场买入科技股。 Today exactly is New York fall and winter fashion week last day, Gisele meets the next to last act to enter the stage tonight the fashion week concluding big show of Calvin-Klein brand, Eric complies to go to her to support. 今天恰好是纽约秋冬时装周的最后一天,吉赛尔今晚会压轴出场Calvin-Klein品牌的时装周闭幕大秀,艾瑞克答应了去给她捧场。 However, concluding big show 6 : 00 pm start, now the time around 2 : 00 pm, after Eric and Chris distinguish, rushes to the building of 46 streets, Cindy and Linda together tenable television Production Studio in this building. 不过,闭幕大秀傍晚六点开始,现在时间才下午两点多,艾瑞克和克里斯分别之后,就赶到46街的一处大厦,辛迪和琳达一起成立的电视制作公司就在这栋大厦里。 Sees Eric to appear, the blonde of onstage that bright eye shining directs him to a conference room entrance personally, sees Eric not to have any to indicate throughout that the unwilling heart turns around to leave. 看到艾瑞克出现,前台那个亮眼放光的金发女郎亲自将他引到一间会议室门口,见艾瑞克始终没有任何表示,才不甘心地转身离开。 Eric opens the door, discovers Linda no longer, actually another supermodel Tyra Banks just and Cindy sits by meeting table is discussing anything in a low voice, hears the sound, two females gain ground together, immediately shows the pleasantly surprised expression, set out to welcome. 艾瑞克推开门,发现琳达不再,倒是另外一位超模泰拉・班克斯正和辛迪坐在会议桌旁低声讨论着什么,听到动静,两女一起抬起头,顿时露出惊喜的表情,起身迎了上来。 Eric gently and two females hugged, asked that Tyra Banks said: „Doesn't Tyra, have Catwalk today?” 艾瑞克轻轻和两女拥抱了下,笑着问泰拉・班克斯道:“泰拉,今天也没有走秀吗？” „No,” Tyra Banks shakes the head, actually if as if has referred to having supplemented one: „We may not struggle the young people.” “没有啊,”泰拉・班克斯摇头,却又似乎若有所指地补充了一句:“我们可争不过年轻人了呢。” Eric smiles, under meeting table is implicated, looks to the material on tabletop, said: „What was discussing, Linda?” 艾瑞克只是笑笑,在会议桌旁坐下,看向桌面上的资料,道:“在讨论什么,还有,琳达呢？” „The Tyra talk-show plan,” Cindy sits down by Eric, said: „Linda outside, just had a telephone to look for her, haven't you seen?” “泰拉的脱口秀节目方案,”辛迪在艾瑞克旁边坐下,道:“琳达在外面呢,刚刚有个电话找她,你没看到吗？” Eric has not shaken the head with enough time, the conference room gate again was shoved open, in the hand is also grasping Linda of cell phone Evangelista walked. Tyra Banks just sat down another side of Eric, sees Linda to move toward own position directly, has to let side. 艾瑞克还没来得及摇头,会议室门就再次被推开,手里还握着手机的琳达・伊万戈琳斯塔走了进来。泰拉・班克斯刚刚在艾瑞克另一边坐下,见琳达直接走向自己的位置,只好让到了旁边。 Has not sat down, Linda starts ‚sending a punitive expedition’: „Your this fellow, one entices the girl in our company, stands including me in neighbor had not seen that I have dismissed her.” 还没坐下,琳达就开始‘兴师问罪’:“你这家伙,一来就勾引我们公司的女孩子,连我站在附近都没看到,我已经把她开除了。” But Eric said: „You when such Boss really?” 艾瑞克无奈道:“你这么当老板真的好吗？” „Ahem,” Linda light snort|hum two, has traded in an instant the style, said: „I and Cindy looked at «Iron Man» that you have acted gave advance notice Oh, although the beard was very ugly, but, Eric, you suited to dye the deep color the hair , the golden hair looked like not mature.” “哼哼,”琳达轻哼两声,转眼又换了画风,道:“我和辛迪看过你扮演的《钢铁侠》预告了哦,虽然胡子很难看,不过,艾瑞克,你真的适合把头发染成深色呢,金发看起来一点都不成熟。” Eric shakes the head saying: „I do not like dyeing hair.” 艾瑞克摇头道:“我可不喜欢染头发。” Chatted several idle talks, Tyra Banks is tactful says goodbye ahead of time, Linda in high spirits looks for a notebook, demonstrates own electronic account to Eric: „100 million 6 8 million USD, I thought that this has sufficed me to spend for a lifetime. However, Cindy is scarier, 200 million more than 80 million USD, thinks on the vitality, you initially directed the Cindy investment time, actually did not tell me, otherwise I currently definitely have money compared with her.” 聊了几句闲话,泰拉・班克斯识趣地提前告辞,琳达才兴冲冲地找来一台笔记本电脑,给艾瑞克展示自己的电子账户:“1亿6800万美元啊,我觉得这已经够我花一辈子了。不过,辛迪的更吓人,2亿8000多万美元,想想就生气,你当初指点辛迪投资的时候,竟然不告诉我,要不然我现在肯定比她还有钱。” These days, obeys the suggestion of Eric, Cindy and Linda completely undersells the stock that in the hand has, two females also become fashion unusual net worth over hundred million supermodel. 这段时间,听从艾瑞克的建议,辛迪和琳达都将手中持有的股票全部抛售一空,两女也成为时尚界少有的身家过亿的超级名模。 Although the income of top supermodel drastically is promoting in recent years, even if is counted the income that in the future can anticipate, finally can accumulate hundred million net worth few of , is only this point, Cindy and Linda can long-term solid in the status of fashion eldest sister head. 虽然最近几年顶级超模的收入都在大幅提升,但即使算上将来可以预期的收入,最终能够积累过亿身家的也寥寥无几,只是这一点,辛迪和琳达就能够长远坐实自己在时尚界大姐头的地位。 „Is very good,” looks at the notebook screen, Eric says with a smile: „Thinks that what good then to make?” “很不错啊,”看着笔记本电脑屏幕,艾瑞克笑道:“想好接下来做什么了吗？” Linda said: „No, do you help us prepare?” 琳达道:“没有啊,你帮我们筹划一下呗？” Eric rests one's chin in one's hands single-handed carefully thinks that immediately shakes the head, says with a smile: „Were too few, anything could not do, remained is working as the spending money.” 艾瑞克单手托腮认真想了想,随即摇头,笑道:“太少了,什么都做不了,还是留着当零花钱吧。” Hears Eric these words, Linda in the middle of excitement remembers at present the man that terror net worth finally, grasped the Eric arm to shake shaking discontentedly, said: „I looked had reported that many media said under your name over 50% properties are only one pile of bubbles, did not have anything at the worst.” 听到艾瑞克这句话,处在兴奋当中的琳达终于想起眼前男人那恐怖的身家,不满地抱住艾瑞克手臂晃了晃,道:“我可是看过报道了,很多媒体都说你名下超过一半的资产都只是一堆泡沫呢,也没什么大不了的。” New Forbes rich and powerful people lists will issue next month that Eric hopes actually really when the time comes all people think, his pressure will reduce absolutely. 新一届的福布斯富豪榜下个月就将发布,艾瑞克倒是真的希望到时候所有人都这么想,那他身上的压力绝对会减轻很多。 Has cracked a joke, Eric then earnestly helped two females start the investment consultancy. 开过玩笑,艾瑞克便认真地帮两女做起了投资咨询。 About less than five hundred million USD funds, regarding Eric, truly were too few, the Firefly system needs the project of Eric personally attention majority, for example advanced ‚4200’ plan, Firefly cinema city paradise that also or started to construct, is not trivial 500 million USD can support. 合起来不到五亿美元的资金,对于艾瑞克来说,确实太少了,萤火虫体系大部分需要艾瑞克亲自关注的项目,比如正在推进的‘4200’计划,又或者已经开始修建的萤火虫影城乐园,都不是区区5亿美元能够撑起来的。 However, if compared with disagreement Firefly Group, majority of enterprises of this sum of money in regarding the world, absolutely is a noticeable great sum of money. 不过,如果不和萤火虫集团相比,这笔钱对于世界上大部分企业来说,都绝对是一笔不可忽视的巨款。 Just and two female were discussing carefully, the Eric cell phone has made a sound, looked at the eye to come the electricity to show that Eric has not avoided, after smiling the connection telephone, near the gathering ear: „Hi, Gisele...... Now, nothing, I Cindy...... Naturally, my definitely punctual past, when the time comes also will bring Cindy and Linda goes to support to you together...... Un, that this, bye.” 正和两女仔细讨论着,艾瑞克的手机响了起来,看了眼来电显示,艾瑞克也没有避开,笑着接通电话后凑到耳边:“嗨,吉赛尔……现在啊,没什么事情,我在辛迪这边呢……当然,我肯定会准时过去的,到时候也带辛迪和琳达一起去给你捧场……嗯,那就这样,再见。” Eric and Gisele said that just hung the power failure words, Linda curls the lip saying: „I have not complied to support to her.” 艾瑞克和吉赛尔说完,刚刚挂掉电话,琳达就撇着嘴道:“我可没答应去给她捧场呢。” Eric looked at the Linda expression, transfers has come to see to Cindy: „Did you and Gisele quarrel?” 艾瑞克瞄了眼琳达的表情,转过来看向辛迪:“你们和吉赛尔吵架了？” „No,” Cindy shakes the head, said: „But, you cannot expect that we can live together in peace and harmony with them?” “没有啊,”辛迪摇摇头,道:“不过,你总不能奢望我们能和她们和睦相处吧？” „You, they,” Eric seize two keywords keenly, said with a smile: „Sounds to have the appearance of story very much.” “你们,她们,”艾瑞克敏锐地捉住两个关键词,笑道:“听起来很有故事的样子。” Cindy smiles not to speak. 辛迪只是笑而不语。 Linda cannot keep the words, said: „You do not know that your Brazilian small honey may be fierce now. Several months ago, WM has promoted a new person, background very good Oh. WM gives the development route and Bündchen that she designs is exactly the same, walks the health natural vivid style, they also she and Bündchen compared, then that girl in a General magazine have bad luck.” 琳达却藏不住话,道:“你不知道吧,你的巴西小蜜糖现在可厉害了呢。几个月前,WM推出了一个新人,底子非常不错哦。只是,WM给她设计的发展路线和邦辰一模一样,都是走健康自然的形象风格,他们还在一份杂志上将她和邦辰进行对比,然后那女孩就倒霉了。” Some Eric places have not understood, what meaning is WM? 艾瑞克有些地方没听懂,WM是什么意思？ Looked at Cindy, the girl has been with good intention very much takes to begin a stroke, a document blank has written down two words: Women-Management. 看了看辛迪,女郎很善解人意地拿起笔,一份文件空白处写下了两个单词:Women-Management。 WM , Women-Management, the female manages the company. WM,Women-Management,女性管理公司。 To come also to be professional model Brokerage Firm, but the scale and fame do not have the means and Elite, IMG and compared with the giants of Ford these professional model commission agencies. 想来也应该是一家模特经纪公司,只是规模和名气都没办法和Elite、IMG、Ford这些模特经纪行业的巨头相比。 Linda glimpses the Cindy petty action, said: „WM is Women-Management, this also with explanation, Kate Moss North America broker contract in this company, but the sea winds because of the style of beautiful woman now was panting, they anxiously reforming. Un, which did I just speak of?” 琳达瞥见辛迪的小动作,道:“WM就是Women-Management嘛,这还用解释,凯特・莫斯的北美经纪合约就在这家公司,只是现在海络因美女的风格过气了,他们才急着转型。嗯,我刚刚说到哪了？” Eric said with a smile: „The girl had bad luck.” 艾瑞克笑道:“那女孩倒霉了。” „Right,” Linda has selected the head, said: „WM had arranged 15 shows in this New York fashion week to that girl, guesses that she eventually did walk several?” “对,”琳达点了点脑袋,道:“WM原本在这次纽约时装周给那女孩安排了15场秀,猜猜她最终走了几场？” „Zero?” “零？” Linda has hit on the Eric shoulder gently, then raises up three fingers: „3 Oh, heard that girl knows after her Dior begins was robbed, directly collapsed, good star.” 琳达在艾瑞克肩膀上轻轻打了下,然后竖起三根手指:“3场哦,听说那女孩知道自己的Dior开场被抢走之后,直接就崩溃了,好可伶。” Eric looks at a small expression of Linda like grieve for like, does not have too to feel at heart. 艾瑞克看着琳达一副兔死狐悲的小表情,心里却没有太多感觉。 He is actually the person who hides shortcomings very much, fight of oneself cat and others family/home, always impossible deviation others family/home? 他其实是一个很护短的人,自家小猫和别人家的打架,总不可能偏向别人家的吧？ Moreover, Eric has also liked the quite strong individuality woman, the temper too soft woman stays in his side radically is not long. This looks like rides a horse, ancient times the bravest fierce gentleman, naturally can choose the irritable high-spirited horse. 而且,艾瑞克也一直都喜欢比较强势个性的女人,性子太软的女人在他身边根本就呆不长。这就像是骑马,古时候最勇敢的猛士,自然会挑选性格火爆的烈马。 Put out a hand to pinch on the Linda chin, Eric said with a smile: „Let alone is so pitiful, haven't you bullied others?” 伸手在琳达下巴上捏了下,艾瑞克笑道:“别说的这么可怜,难道你就没有欺负过别人？” „No,” Linda rodomontade is swinging the head, in an instant aims at Cindy, starts to revolt the revolution: „She has done, 91 years of THIERRY-MUGLER autumn big show, she pushed to resist directly on the T stage with other professional model, has destroyed the entire big show. Hehe, I remember that THIERRY-MUGLER designer was mad cries.” “没有,”琳达大言不惭地摇着脑袋,转眼又指向辛迪,开始叛变革命:“她这么干过,91年THIERRY-MUGLER的秋季大秀,她直接和别的模特在T台上推攘起来了,毁了整场大秀。呵呵,我记得那次THIERRY-MUGLER的设计师都被气哭了。” Hears Linda to dig up own black history, a Cindy actually indifferent appearance, said: „As we all know, that obviously is Naomi Campbell selects first, when I get on T stages the scene was chaotic.” 听到琳达扒自己的黑历史,辛迪却一副无所谓的模样,道:“大家都知道,那明明是娜奥米・坎贝尔先挑起来的,我走上T台时场面就已经乱起来了。” Linda said: „Then in the next day fashionable news is ‚Cindy Crawford pushes resists other professional model’ the news.” 琳达道:“然后第二天的时尚新闻里都是‘辛迪・克劳馥推攘其他模特’的消息。” Cindy proud Nie her eyes: „This explained that I am most famous, is not the cat puppy may compare.” 辛迪骄傲地乜了她一眼:“这说明我名气最大,不是什么小猫小狗可比的。” Two females fought two mouths, Linda came the interest suddenly, pulled the arm of Eric saying: „Was right, tonight I truly must give your Brazilian small honey to support Oh, CK this time also invited that girl, has probably not heard the news that she was pushed aside, um, the scene certainly is when the time comes lively, perhaps this time also will hit.” 两女斗了两句嘴,琳达突然又来了兴致,挽着艾瑞克的手臂道:“对了,今晚我确实要去给你的巴西小蜜糖捧场哦,CK这次也邀请了那女孩,好像还没有听到她被排挤出去的消息呢,嗯,到时候场面一定非常热闹,说不定这次也会打起来。” Linda takes pleasure in others'misfortunes in the offices of 42 streets, the Bryant park, will soon conduct in the holding tent of CK concluding big show, the scene was lively. 琳达在42街的办公室里幸灾乐祸,布莱恩特公园,即将举办CK闭幕大秀的举行帐篷内,场面就已经非常热闹。 Sees Gisele to hang Eric the Williams telephone, is responsible for CK operations director Tom of this big show a Cauri face anxiety alignment sits by toilet table the girl, whatever the make-up artist makes up the makeup explained: „Gisele, is only very common presence, everybody will not note her . Moreover, now adjusted also without enough time, when you she did not exist, was good?” 看到吉赛尔挂掉艾瑞克・威廉姆斯的电话,负责这次大秀的CK运营总监汤姆・科里一脸愁苦地对正坐在化妆台旁任由化妆师补妆的女郎解释道:“吉赛尔,只是一个很不起眼的出场而已,大家根本就不会注意到她,而且,现在调整也来不及了,你就当她不存在,好不好？” Gisele truly does not yield: „She should not exist, in any case, you decided that either I withdraw, Oh, Fernanda, the tune silk they also withdraw with me, either, you make her disappear, I like do not see her in the backstage.” 吉赛尔确实一点也不让步:“她本来就不应该存在,反正,你自己决定,要么我退出,哦,费尔南达、曲丝她们也和我一起退出,要么,你让她消失,我不像在后台看到她。” Tom Cauri thinks that said: „This, I let her alone in other putting on make-up, after walking, immediately leaves, will not appear before you absolutely.” 汤姆・科里想了想,道:“这样,我让她单独在别的化妆,走完之后就立刻离开,绝对不会出现在你面前。” Gisele beckons with the hand to hint the make-up artist to get out of the way first, turns head to look to Tom Cauri, the girl is doing obviously, the appearance that actually occupying a commanding position, said: „Tom, I do not want to look for trouble , if other times, perhaps I do not care, but, Eric can come tonight, you should understand that my meaning, I do not want to see her to appear on the T stage, this matter had not discussed.” 吉赛尔摆手示意化妆师先走开,扭头看向汤姆・科里,女郎明明是做着,却一副居高临下的模样,道:“汤姆,我真的不想找麻烦,如果是其他时候,我或许不在意,但是,今晚艾瑞克会过来,你应该明白我的意思,我不想看到她出现在T台上,这件事没商量。”
