Another side of telephone, Paul the Roland language fast fast was saying anything, the forehead of Eric wrinkled gradually. 电话另一边,保罗・罗兰语速飞快地说着一些什么,艾瑞克的眉宇逐渐皱了起来。 When Paul Roland said that Eric turns around, asked that stands in not far away Carolyn: „, Estonia probably by Finland?” 等保罗・罗兰说完,艾瑞克转身,问站在不远处的卡洛琳:“卡莉,爱沙尼亚好像就在芬兰旁边吧？” „Un,” Carolyn nods, said: „Helsinki and Estonian capital Tallinn faces each other across the sea, the distance is less than 100 kilometers.” “嗯,”卡洛琳点点头,道:“赫尔辛基与爱沙尼亚首都塔林隔海相望,距离不到100公里。” „Helps me answer Ollie Kallas telephone,” Eric told, once more attention will change the cell phone, to Paul Roland said: „You fly now Europe definitely without enough time, that side I will arrange the person in the past, you kept New York to be responsible for coordinating to be OK.” “帮我接奥利・卡拉斯苏欧的电话,”艾瑞克吩咐了一句,就再次将注意力转向手机,对保罗・罗兰道:“你现在飞去欧洲肯定来不及,那边我会安排人过去,你留在纽约负责协调一下就可以了。” At the end of last year, Jorma Oliya left job from Nokia officially. 去年年底,约玛・奥利亚正式从诺基亚离职。 In Jorma under the recommendation of Ollila, Nokia original CFO Ollie Kallas replaces his position, holds the post of Nokia new Chairman and CEO. 在约玛・奥利拉的推荐下,诺基亚原首席财务官奥利・卡拉斯苏欧接替他的职位,担任诺基亚新一任董事长兼CEO。 Carolyn does not understand why Eric must contact with Ollie Kallas suddenly, actually immediately picks up the cordless phone from the secretarial office, has dialed one string of numbers skilled. After the moment, the telephone puts through, Carolyn and opposite said several, walk to hand over in the Eric hand the cordless telephone. 卡洛琳不明白艾瑞克为什么要突然联系奥利・卡拉斯苏欧,却是立刻从秘书室拿起无绳电话,熟练地拨通了一串号码。片刻后,电话接通,卡洛琳和对面说了几句,就走过来将无绳电话交到艾瑞克手中。 Edgar Bronfman has not thought that Eric answers a telephone to spend for a half hour, along with passing of time, he even starts to suspect that this is the opposite party is drying in the sun itself intentionally. 埃德加・布朗夫曼没想到艾瑞克只是接一个电话就要花半个小时时间,随着时间的流逝,他甚至开始怀疑这是不是对方在故意晾着自己。 The moral nature disaffection accumulates gradually, while Edgar when Bronfman hesitates must sets out to leave, Eric finally shoves open the office door to walk. 心底的不满逐渐积累,正当埃德加・布朗夫曼犹豫着是不是要起身离开时,艾瑞克终于推开办公室房门走了进来。 „Sorry, Eder,” in Eric is taking a cell phone as before, walks to sit down on the sofa, places on the cell phone front tea table, said: „Temporarily has come across a very troublesome matter, making you wait for a long time.” “抱歉,埃德,”艾瑞克手里依旧拿着一部手机,走过来在沙发上坐下,将手机放在面前茶几上,道:“临时遇到了一件非常麻烦的事情,让你久等了。” Edgar Bronfman maintains by oneself the demeanor smiled as far as possible, and shows the curious look. 埃德加・布朗夫曼尽量让自己保持风度地笑了笑,并露出好奇神色。 Eric actually not with the meaning that the opposite party explained that said: „, We continued just topic. Eder, said honestly that Seagram wants to buy stock the Firefly electron absolutely is not a great idea. You know that the Firefly electron is not short of money, therefore, in the future a long time, this company not only will not go on the market, even has not drawn bonus the plan. Moreover, at present the field generally to the estimate value of Firefly electron in 30 billion USD about, I thought Seagram definitely is unable to accept at this estimate value buys stock.” 艾瑞克却没有和对方解释的意思,道:“那么,我们继续刚刚的话题吧。埃德,坦诚地说,西格拉姆想要入股萤火虫电子绝对不是一个好主意。你知道的,萤火虫电子不缺钱,所以,未来很长一段时间,这家公司不但不会上市,甚至都没有分红计划。而且,目前业界普遍对萤火虫电子的估值都在300亿美元左右,我觉得西格拉姆肯定也无法接受以这种估值入股。” „Good, Eric,” Edgar Bronfman constrains own disaffection once more, said: „, Firefly wish makes the Universal phonograph record join the digital music store, always should show some sincerity, but until now, I do not see your sincerity.” “好吧,艾瑞克,”埃德加・布朗夫曼再次压抑住自己的不满,道:“那么,萤火虫想要让环球唱片加入数字音乐商店,总应该表现出一些诚意吧,但到现在为止,我丝毫不看到你的诚意。” „Eder, you should understand, so long as the Universal phonograph record joins the Yahoo music store, Yahoo or Firefly electron, even is Firefly Group, will incline to the music content of Universal phonograph record multi-resources as far as possible, this situation superiority is other Record Company cannot compare. Naturally, we have our phonograph record service, but, the Firefly Records scale is very as we all know small, will not have many influences to the general situation,” Eric spoke of here, has stopped, continued saying: „But, naturally, I definitely will show my sincerity. The Yahoo music store and Record Company share proportion is 37, this point is indisputable. However, so long as the Universal phonograph record agrees to cooperate, in the next few years, the Firefly electron can through the way of marketing subsidy, be divided into to return the sale of certain proportion to the Universal phonograph record.” “埃德,你应该明白,只要环球唱片加入雅虎音乐商店,无论是雅虎还是萤火虫电子,甚至是萤火虫集团,都会尽可能地将更多资源向环球唱片的音乐内容进行倾斜,这种先机优势是其他唱片公司所不能比的。当然,我们也有着自己的唱片业务,但大家都知道,萤火虫唱片的规模很小,并不会对大局产生多少影响,”艾瑞克说到这里,停顿了下,才继续道:“不过,当然,我肯定会表现出我的诚意。雅虎音乐商店与唱片公司的分成比例是37分,这一点不容改变。不过,只要环球唱片同意合作,未来几年,萤火虫电子可以通过营销补贴的方式,将一定比例的销售分成返还给环球唱片。” In fact, so long as can let the Universal phonograph record agreement open content authorization, in the next few years, Eric is even willing to divide CD to return the complete music sale to the Universal phonograph record, even if gives instead of taking some not to relate additionally. 实际上,只要能够让环球唱片同意开放内容授权,未来几年内,艾瑞克甚至愿意将全部音乐销售分CD返还给环球唱片,哪怕额外倒贴一些都没关系。 To the huge profit of hardware vendor, the share income of digital music store can discard regarding the Firefly system completely temporarily. 相对于硬件销售的巨额利润,数字音乐商店的分成收益对于萤火虫体系来说完全是可以暂时舍弃的。 Naturally, the Yahoo music store is the service of Yahoo Internet company, because Yahoo went on the market, considers for the wealth report and stock price, Eric can only subsidize through Firefly doublet Record Company. 当然,雅虎音乐商店属于雅虎网络公司旗下的业务,由于雅虎已经上市,为了财报和股价着想,艾瑞克只能通过萤火虫电子对唱片公司进行补贴。 Edgar Bronfman silent moment, from the Eric expression, he basically can listen to the opposite party so-called subsidy effort to be able probably big. 埃德加・布朗夫曼沉默了片刻,从艾瑞克的语气中,他基本上能够听出对方所谓的补贴力度大概能有多大。 Thinks that recently analyses of various types of business media to Firefly electron earning data, Edgar Bronfman some are not willingly. 只是,想想最近一段时间各种商业媒体对萤火虫电子营收数据的分析,埃德加・布朗夫曼还是有些不甘心。 In five big Record Company, Universal is largest, but the annual earning scale is also only about 5 billion USD, profit that every year creates probably in 500 million USD high and low. 五大唱片公司中,环球的规模最大,但全年营收规模也只有50亿美元左右,每年创造的利润大概在5亿美元上下。 However, according to the general analysis of media, just issued that product two years of Firefly electron, the profit for the year scale has been equal to two times of Universal phonograph record, how this does not make the entire phonograph record profession feel the envy. Even, many people thought that money that the Firefly electron makes, completely is the profit that these two years phonograph record industry aggregate declines to discard. 但是,根据媒体的普遍分析,才刚刚发布产品两年时间的萤火虫电子,年利润规模就已经相当于环球唱片的两倍,这如何不让整个唱片行业都感到嫉妒。甚至,不少人都觉得,萤火虫电子赚到的钱,完全就是这两年唱片行业整体衰退所丢掉的利润。 If possible, Edgar Bronfman does not want actually with Eric Williams cooperation. 如果可能的话,埃德加・布朗夫曼其实一点都不想和艾瑞克・威廉姆斯合作。 Just, Seagram group current situation is not good. 只不过,西格拉姆集团目前的形势并不好。 In recent years, as the Seagram group changes the media profession completely, has carried on including MCA, PolyGram, wired TV Station and other service many purchases, at this time, the total debt scale of this company has achieved 12 billion USD. Moreover, because Edgar Bronfman inclines the majority of resources in the phonograph record service, wants to build the world first big phonograph record group, although his goal has been achieved, but along with the sudden decline of phonograph record profession, the management of Seagram group also therefore is bogged down in difficulties. 最近几年,随着西格拉姆集团完全转向传媒行业,进行了包括MCA、宝丽金、有线电视台等业务在内的多起收购,此时,这家公司的总负债规模已经达到120亿美元。而且,由于埃德加・布朗夫曼将大部分资源都倾斜在唱片业务上,想要打造世界第一大唱片集团,虽然他的目的已经达到,但随着唱片行业的突然衰退,西格拉姆集团的经营也因此陷入困境。 Last year, Michael the Universal Pictures group that under Eisner handled although has realized the good profit, because of the unfavorable situation of phonograph record service, the Seagram group 1998 annual loss surpassed 1.3 billion USD as before. 去年,迈克尔・艾斯纳打理下的环球影业集团虽然实现了不错的盈利,但因为唱片业务的失利,西格拉姆集团1998年度的全年亏损依旧超过13亿美元。 Because the wearing of PolyGram phonograph record and Universal phonograph record is not smooth, in the next few years, if the phonograph record industry aggregate situation does not have the reversal, the Seagram group also likely continues to lose money. Is controlling the Bronfman family of Seagram group, in puts the blame on the responsibility while Edgar on Bronfman, even has produced the thought of the company selling out. 由于宝丽金唱片与环球唱片的磨合并不顺利,未来几年,如果唱片行业整体形势不出现逆转,西格拉姆集团还可能继续亏损下去。控制着西格拉姆集团的布朗夫曼家族内部在将责任归咎在埃德加・布朗夫曼身上的同时,甚至已经产生了将公司卖掉的念头。 Edgar Bronfman does not certainly want such to do, although in his disposition is bringing several points of obstinance, but cannot be absolutely has neither learning nor skill. 埃德加・布朗夫曼当然不想这么做,他性格中虽然带着几分刚愎自用,但也绝对不能算是不学无术。 After Universal phonograph record CEO Doug Morison has discussed in detail, they consistently thought that the cooperation with Firefly system is necessary, even possibly becomes key that reverses the Seagram group at present the situation. 和环球唱片CEO道格・莫里森详细讨论过之后,两人一致觉得,与萤火虫体系的这次合作非常有必要,甚至可能成为扭转西格拉姆集团目前局势的关键。 „Eric, this is insufficient,” has thought deeply about the moment, Edgar Bronfman shakes the head saying: „Yahoo music store wants the Universal phonograph record the content, Firefly also to pay.” “艾瑞克,这还不够,”思索了片刻,埃德加・布朗夫曼才摇头道:“雅虎音乐商店想要环球唱片的内容,萤火虫还必须付出更多。” The Eric left hand subconsciousness according to the bandage place in right hand arm, he unknowingly were also many recently this custom, the expression actually maintained composure, said: „, What does Seagram want?” 艾瑞克左手下意识又按在右手手臂上的绷带处,他最近不知不觉就多了这个习惯,表情却不动声色,道:“那么,西格拉姆想要什么？” „A zero breath loan,” clenched teeth, Edgar Bronfman remembers the Firefly system rich cash reserve of media disclosure, temporarily changes the original figure, the lion has opened the mouth to say greatly: „3 billion USD.” “一笔零息贷款,”咬了咬牙,埃德加・布朗夫曼想起媒体披露的萤火虫体系丰厚的现金储备,临时改变了原定的数字,狮子大开口道:“30亿美元。” As a result of the intemperate expansion as well as the large amount loss, the Seagram group current funding chain went to very dangerous situation. Other did not say that is only the debt of that 12 billion USD, the bond interest that every year needs to pay achieves 600 million USD. 由于无节制的扩张以及巨额的亏损,西格拉姆集团目前的资金链已经达到非常危险的地步。其他不说,只是那120亿美元的负债,每年需要支付的债息就达到6亿美元。 Although a North America general economy situation prosperity, but this time Seagram group is very difficult to obtain financing from the outside again. 虽然北美整体经济形势一片欣欣向荣,但此时的西格拉姆集团却很难再从外部获得融资。 „3 billion USD, this is impossible,” Eric is stroking gently the bandage under shirt cotton material, shakes the head saying: „I most give you 500 million USD . Moreover, must in three years repay.” “30亿美元,这不可能,”艾瑞克摩挲着衬衫布料下的绷带,摇头道:“我最多给你5亿美元,而且,必须三年内偿还。” Does not know that Edgar Bronfman listened to the relaxedness in Eric expression, the manner suddenly was firm. 不知道埃德加・布朗夫曼是不是听出了艾瑞克语气里的轻松,态度却突然坚决起来。 Eric is naturally impossible to be so easy to relent. 艾瑞克自然也不可能这么容易松口。 The Firefly system truly is not short of money, but 3 billion USD, actually absolutely is a great sum of money. 萤火虫体系确实不缺钱,但30亿美元,却绝对是一笔巨款。 Since is willing to give up the complete digital music sale being divided in a short time, Eric naturally cannot care to resign the interest that these 3 billion USD have. But a huge fund, he is worried is actually once the Seagram group is bogged down in difficulties, the opposite party likely did not repay. 既然肯在短期内放弃全部的数字音乐销售分成,艾瑞克自然不会太在意让出这30亿美元所产生的利息。但如此庞大的一笔资金,他更担心的却是一旦西格拉姆集团陷入困境,对方很可能偿还不了。 Exaggerated a point saying that if the Seagram group went bankrupt, the phonograph record business asset of Eric to its may an interest not have. As for Universal Pictures, 3 billion USD cannot eat, other creditors are impossible to give Firefly Universal Pictures this part highest-quality property easily. 夸张一点说,如果西格拉姆集团破产了,艾瑞克对它旗下的唱片业务资产可一点兴趣都没有。至于环球影业,30亿美元也吃不下来,其他债权人也不可能轻易将环球影业这部分最优质的资产让给萤火虫。 Both sides disputed for one hour in various details, this meeting cannot achieve any result eventually. 双方在各种细节上争执了一个多小时,这次会面终究还是没能达成任何结果。 However, although has not achieved when the loan consistently, but departure, Edgar Bronfman agreed that the Universal phonograph record can starts the preliminary talk with Yahoo and Firefly electron. 不过,虽然没有在贷款上达成一致,但离开时,埃德加・布朗夫曼还是同意,环球唱片可以与雅虎和萤火虫电子开始初步的接触谈判。 Packs off Edgar Bronfman, the time toward noon, saw that side Europe has not telephoned, Eric is just about to dial on own initiative, the cell phone ring tone has rung once more. 送走埃德加・布朗夫曼,时间已经临近中午,眼看欧洲那边还没有打电话过来,艾瑞克正要主动拨过去,手机铃声再次响了起来。 ...... …… Nine-day Paris fashion week close to last act. 为期九天的巴黎时装周临近尾声。 As a result of the arrangement of some fellow, Carmen Kasies in this year's fashion week may be the ray sparkle. 由于某个家伙的安排,卡门・凯丝在今年的时装周上可算是光芒闪耀。 However, does not know that has complied with that forseeing the concomitant tragedy words, originally for her who following two days of final several Catwalk do the preparation, suddenly receives the elder sister the phone call that makes from the hometown. 不过,不知道是不是应了那句乐极生悲的话,原本正在为接下来两天的最后几场走秀做准备的她,突然接到姐姐从家乡打来的电话。 The mother was kidnapped. 母亲被人绑架了。 Heard this news, Carmen Kasies immediately on ignorant. 听到这个消息,卡门・凯丝顿时就蒙了。 Kidnapping. 绑架。 This matter can with link? 这种事情怎么会和自己联系在一起？ Because poor, Eastern Europe is actually very chaotic, this she knows. 因为穷,东欧其实很乱,这她是知道的。 Turbulent that several years, she had heard a lot, various kidnapping extort even are assassinate, Estonian hei help runs to go to Finland to contend for the domain actually to be returned by the Russia hei help and so on.
