„Now Wall Street many people clench jaws to us, one week of time, the Yahoo stock price rose 17%, various makes the spatial fund therefore to lose greatly surpasses 3.1 billion USD, high release lever dead end was reconciled directly, is filled with sufferers simply.” “现在华尔街很多人都对我们咬牙切齿,一周时间,雅虎股价上涨了17%,各大做空基金因此损失超过31亿美元,很多高杠杆空头直接被清盘,简直是哀鸿遍野。” Firefly cinema city, in a small conference room. 萤火虫影城,一间小会议室里。 Just put through the conference call equipment, then so said in New York Chris. 刚刚接通视频会议设备,远在纽约的克里斯便如此说道。 Eric sits on the leather chair, when the secretary and opposite Katzenberg carries the coffee to leave to oneself, looks to several monitors. At this time the conference room is connecting Boston Yahoo Headquarters and New York ABC Headquarters and Chris office separately. 艾瑞克坐在皮椅上,等秘书给自己和对面的卡森伯格端上咖啡离开,才望向几台显示器。此时会议室分别连接着波士顿的雅虎总部、纽约的ab总部和克里斯的办公室。 „But definitely some people are also grateful to us, 3.1 billion USD, this is not the small number,” Eric carries the coffee, notes Chris behind to present the Emily form, opens the mouth to greet with a smile: „Hi, Amy, but today on Saturday, hasn't seen the child at home?” “但也肯定有人对我们感激涕零,31亿美元,这可不是什么小数目,”艾瑞克端起咖啡,注意到克里斯身后出现艾米丽的身影,笑着开口打招呼道:“嗨,艾米,今天可是周六,没有在家看孩子吗？” Emily puts out a hand to take a folder from the Chris desk, is losing to the camera to a Eric supercilious look, said: „You made Edward sign that girl's matter Vicky and Joan secretly knew, do you think to explain to them? Vicky said that has helped you prepare the sofa, Easter you came to rest above.” 艾米丽伸手从克里斯办公桌上拿过一份文件夹,对着摄像头丢给艾瑞克一个白眼,道:“你偷偷让爱德华签下那女孩的事情维姬和琼已经知道了,你还是想想怎么跟她们解释吧？维姬说已经帮你准备好了沙发,复活节你过来就可以睡在上面了。” Eric lifts the hand to ask for mercy immediately: „Stops, Amy, I am Boss, to the face.” 艾瑞克立刻抬手告饶:“停,艾米,我可是老板,给个面子。” Listens to Emily to uncover the Boss lace without hesitation, everybody has smiled once more. 听着艾米丽毫不犹豫地揭老板的花边,大家再次笑了起来。 Emily actually no longer pays attention to him, carries the folder that was just taking up to vanish in the scene. 艾米丽却不再理会他,拎着那份刚刚拿起的文件夹就消失在了镜头里。 When the wife leaves, the Chris unusual performance some gossip thoughts, have lowered the sound saying: „Said that Eric, you and that girl what's the matter?” 等妻子离开,克里斯少有的表现出了一些八卦心思,压低声音道:“说起来,艾瑞克,你和那女孩到底是怎么回事？” „This,” Eric is resigned-looking, said: „You thought that you did pull down sound everybody unable to hear?” “这个啊,”艾瑞克一脸无奈,道:“你觉得你压低声音大家就听不到了吗？” Also is a laughter. 又是一阵笑声。 Played several jokes, Eric has patted clapping, said: „Was good, said the proper business, first, about several points of purchase plan that Yahoo submits.” 开了几句玩笑,艾瑞克拍了拍手,道:“好了,说正事,首先,关于雅虎这边提交的几分收购方案。” Eric was saying, opens a front document, kept a serious look, said: „I remember before IPO, I have said that the NASDAQ market current bubble will burst sooner or later, once this situation occurrence, the entire new technology industry will fall into the capital cold winter. Although we have attained over 5 billion USD huge funds through IPO, but this sum of money basically quite in Yahoo ‚winterring’ grain ration, therefore, I hope that each one cent must spend resources are well used. Has a look at purchase plan that you submit again, for example this, can pick up the browser homepage load velocity the software solution, this truly is the good thing. However, 20 million USD, are you joking with me? In the team the casual ten people from Engineer Yahoo come out, give them one month, I do not believe that they cannot make this thing. Ten people, one month, who help me calculate how much money needs to spend?” 艾瑞克说着,翻开面前的一份文件,表情严肃起来,道:“我记得ipo之前我就说过,纳斯达克市场目前的泡沫早晚都会破裂,一旦这种情况发生,整个新科技行业都会陷入资本寒冬。虽然我们通过ipo拿到了超过50亿美元的巨额资金,但这笔钱基本上就相当于雅虎‘过冬’的口粮,所以,我希望这其中的每一分钱都要花得物有所值。再看看你们提交的收购方案,比如这一份,一款可以加快浏览器网页加载速度的软件方案,这确实是好东西。但是,2000万美元,你们在和我开玩笑吗？从雅虎工程师团队里随便拉十个人出来,给他们一个月时间,我不相信他们做不出来这东西。十个人,一个月,谁来帮我算算需要花多少钱？” In Boston Yahoo Headquarters conference room, Ian Gonul has not thought that just also smilingly and Emily Eric that Brighton cracks a joke has the sign of acting crazy in an instant, can only explain on own initiative: „Eric, this also involves the patent issue.” 波士顿的雅虎总部的会议室里,伊恩・格尼尔没想到刚刚还嬉皮笑脸地和艾米丽・布莱顿开玩笑的艾瑞克转眼就有发飙的迹象,只能主动解释道:“艾瑞克,这还涉及到专利问题。” „That finds the way to circle, or seeks for other alternative schemes, or you cannot achieve, why can I also hire you?” Eric reproved the sentence gratefully, threw front folder conveniently, said: These plans that „in brief, you submit my will not authorize. I know that now the entire profession is very impetuous, everybody is burning money, you thought that since the company went on the market, must obey the rule of listed company, needs to burn money crazily, crazy merger and acquisition, crazy expansion, otherwise possibly receives the blaming of censure and investor of market. But you have made a mistake, I told you, Yahoo only needed to fight steadily to walk according to the established route, does not need to be responsible for the stock price, does not need to be responsible for Wall Street, if were certainly responsible, you only needed to be responsible for me.” “那就想办法绕过去,或者寻找其他替代方案,又或者你们做不到,那我干吗还要雇你们？”艾瑞克毫不客气训斥了句,随手将面前的文件夹丢了出去,道:“总之,你们提交的这些方案我一个都不会批准。我知道,现在整个行业都很浮躁,大家都在烧钱,你们觉得既然公司上市了,也必须遵守上市公司的规则,需要疯狂烧钱,疯狂并购,疯狂扩张,否则就可能受到市场的非议和投资人的诘难。但你们错了,我告诉你们,雅虎只需要按照既定的路线稳扎稳打地走下去,不需要对股价负责,不需要对华尔街负责,如果一定要负责,你们只需要对我一个人负责。” After listening to the speaker to spread the document flies , the paper sound, Ian Gonul expression nodded embarrasedly, careless was striking still Steve of front notebook Mitnick also sat straight the body, Tina Brown slightly lowered the head, the fingertip twisted an corner/horn that front document was curling up gently, as if wanted the paper flatting. 听着扬声器里传出文件飞出去之后哗哗的纸张声,伊恩・格尼尔表情讪讪地点了点头,原本还在漫不经心地敲打面前笔记本电脑的史蒂夫・米特尼克也坐直了身体,蒂娜・布朗则是微微低头,指尖轻轻捻着面前文件卷起的一角,似乎想要把纸张压平。 In sitting any person has not been the work place new military recruits, the boss or Boss gets angry this matter, everyone has met. 在坐的没有任何一个人是职场菜鸟,上司或者老板发火这种事情,谁都遇到过。 Compares, Eric was considered as absolutely is personality very temperate Boss. 相比起来,艾瑞克绝对算得上是一个性情非常温和的老板了。 But at this time Eric erupts suddenly, everybody also realizes his really unusual vitality, therefore also nobody dares not to be tactful speaks to contradict. 但此时艾瑞克突然爆发,大家也意识到他心里真的非常生气,因此也就没有人敢不识趣地出言顶撞。 Eric carried nearby coffee sips, has relaxed the mood, continued saying: The step that „in recent years Yahoo expands somewhat is truly big, 6000 people of staff scales, have surpassed other pure Internet enterprises, after the listing, many people have become 1 million wealthy men or the billionaires, will appear at heart definitely idles, thought that can enjoy to live, or, thought one have several million USD, the present position was unable to compare favorably with their net worth. These I can understand, but I will not tolerate. Therefore, I needs you to prepare ahead of time, after the hi-tech stock bubble burst, Yahoo similarly will carry on a lay-off, these hopes the person who enjoys the life eliminates. Yahoo will have a long way to go in the future, cannot accommodate idleness who cannot follow the company step. Naturally, they were Yahoo had made their contribution, therefore, when the time comes the company definitely will buy the stocks in their hand, enabling them to enjoy the life heartily, or made a fresh start an enterprise.” 艾瑞克端起旁边的咖啡抿了一口,缓和了一下情绪,继续道:“最近几年雅虎扩张的步伐确实有些大,6000人员工规模,超过了其他所有纯互联网企业,还有,上市之后,很多人都成了1000000富翁或者亿万富翁,心里肯定会出现懈怠,觉得可以享受生活了,又或者,觉得自己拥有几百万美元,现在的职位已经无法媲美他们的身家了。这些我都可以理解,但我不会容忍。所以,我需要你们提前准备一下,科技股泡沫破裂之后,雅虎同样会进行一次裁员,将那些希望享受生活的人清除出去。雅虎未来还有很长的路要走,容不下跟不上公司步伐的懈怠者。当然,他们曾经为雅虎做出过自己的贡献,所以,到时候公司肯定会买下他们手中的股票,让他们可以尽情去享受生活,又或者重新开始一段事业。” Said that these words, Eric received the document that the office secretary cautiously reorganizes to hand over, had not waited for that Ian the Gonul three people of responses, continue saying: „Was good, we start the next subject, about AOL and Time Warner merger. The present situation becomes very subtle, everybody definitely has read that article on «Washington Post». Since this week, the listed company stock of entire Firefly system has been rising, but the AOL stock price increase scope is higher than Yahoo, obviously, many people favor AOL and Time Warner merge prospect, thinks after these two companies merge, Firefly will present a powerful competitor, this actually also has the advantage to us. Meanwhile, we must change the established strategy, at least, on the public media, we need resolutely to oppose that merge of AOL and Time Warner, the manner that we oppose is more intense, AOL and Time Warner the resistance of merge bitter experience will be smaller. Then, everybody said that specifically what to do should?” 说完这些话,艾瑞克接过小心翼翼的办公室秘书重新整理好递过来的文件,也没有等待伊恩・格尼尔三人的回应,就继续道:“好了,我们开始下一个议题,关于美国在线与时代华纳的合并案。现在的局势变得很微妙,大家肯定看过《华盛頓邮报》上的那篇文章。这一周以来,整个萤火虫体系的上市公司股票都在上涨,但美国在线的股价涨幅却比雅虎还高一些,显然,很多人都看好美国在线与时代华纳的合并前景,认为这两家公司合并之后,萤火虫会出现一个强有力的竞争对手,这对我们其实也有好处。但同时,我们也必须改变既定的策略,至少,在公开媒体上,我们需要坚决反对美国在线和时代华纳的合并,我们反对的态度越激烈,美国在线与时代华纳的合并遭遇的阻力可能就会越小。那么,大家说说,具体该怎么办？” Certain mood that consecutively for several years along with the issue of this year's Forbes rich and powerful people list, the Eric individual over 300 billion USD wealth, make entire North America receive the Eric net worth to continue the stimulation that rises suddenly to accumulate finally to erupt thoroughly. 随着今年福布斯富豪榜的发布,艾瑞克个人超过3000亿美元的财富,终于让整个北美连续几年受到艾瑞克身家持续暴涨的刺激而积累起来的某些情绪彻底爆发开来。 Although the capital by the advantage the line, blindly believes and the Eric shocking investment approach, in the market almost all presented rising suddenly with the Firefly system related stock, but, about needs to limit the Firefly system expansion the sound also even more to cause a clamor continually. 虽然资本逐利而行,迷信与艾瑞克惊艳的投资眼光,市场上几乎所有与萤火虫体系相关的股票都出现了暴涨,但同时,关于需要限制萤火虫体系持续扩张的声音也越发甚嚣尘上。 Naturally, in this kind of mature capital society, even if the Eric individual wealth is huge, the federal government does not dare to rob the private property with any crude situation absolutely directly, this involves to a basic market of country. Just, according to the current situation, is not difficult to foresee, in the future each expansion of Firefly system, will be restricted very strict examination, this similarly is not because federation to private wealth huge dreading, but is this social other capital forces for the Basic Instinct counter-attack that to safeguard own rights makes. 当然,在这样一个成熟的资本社会里,即使艾瑞克的个人财富再庞大,联邦政府也绝对不敢用任何粗暴的形势去直接剥夺私有财产,这涉及到一个国家的根本体制问题。只不过,按照目前的形势,不难预见,将来萤火虫体系的每一步扩张,都将受到非常严格的审查和限制,这同样不是因为联邦对私人财富过于庞大的忌惮,而是这个社会其他资本势力为了维护自身权益而做出的本能反击。 In the short-term, props up a powerful competitor of Firefly system, for example, AOL Time Warner, being doomed is the matter that many people are happy. 短期内,扶植出一个萤火虫体系的强有力竞争对手,比如,美国在线-时代华纳,注定是很多人非常乐见其成的事情。 Gives the devil his due, Eric also hopes to present this kind of match, he can foresee the match who and control to a certain extent. 平心而论,艾瑞克也非常希望出现这样一个对手,一个他在一定程度上可以预见和操控的对手。 As for longer-term later, wanting continuation to make the Firefly system expand, Eric must do, either, eliminates the match, either, drags into the Firefly system camp the match. 至于更加长远的以后,想要继续让萤火虫体系扩张下去,艾瑞克要做的,要么,消灭对手,要么,将对手拉入萤火虫体系阵营。 Except that the Yahoo operational strategy as well as discussed how to facilitate the merge of AOL and Time Warner reverse, recently about with discussing the control problem that the Eric credibility discussed that as well as other numerous, the large and small matter discussed one in the morning, in fact, the east coast is in the afternoon, the conference was ended. 除了雅虎的经营策略以及讨论如何反向促成美国在线与时代华纳的合并,还有最近关于艾瑞克个人资产讨论的一些與论控制问题,以及其他林林总总,大大小小的事情讨论了一上午,实际上,东海岸已经是下午,会议才算结束。 Went out of the conference room, Meyer has handed over a cell phone, indicated that Paul Roland waited on online. 走出会议室,梅耶尔将一部手机递了过来,表示保罗・罗兰已经等在线上。 Eric and Katzenberg walk toward the steamship together, plan to dine together, simultaneously received the cell phone and opposite chatted several, has made the telephone call. 艾瑞克和卡森伯格一起朝大船走去,打算一起用餐,同时接过手机和对面聊了几句,就挂了电话。 Remembers Emily in the morning in the conference beforehand reminder, but also is really some difficult offices. 想起艾米丽上午在会议之前的提醒,还真是有些难办啊。 Initially for a while emerged to hold Carmen Kasies, Eric has actually neglected the women possible idea, Virginia and Joanna are always little inquire about at outside matter to him, but previous time Carmen Kasies came such one truly to frighten the children heavily. 当初只是一时兴起把卡门・凯丝捧了上来,艾瑞克却忽略了女人们可能的想法,维吉尼娅和乔安娜一向是对他在外面的事情很少过问的,但上次卡门・凯丝来那么一下确实把孩子们吓得不轻。 Intertwined slightly a while, Eric has abandoned these thoughts. 稍微纠结了一会儿,艾瑞克就把这些念头抛开。 Was ready to cope with anything to resist by whatever means available. 兵来将挡水来土掩好了。 How those words said that the louse are many have not feared to nip. 那句话怎么说的,虱子多了不怕咬。 Moreover, under the recent the influence of outside and theory, Eric also has very tremendous pressure at heart. 而且,在最近外界與论的影响下,艾瑞克心里到底也还是有着很大压力的。 Goes to the dining room on ship, ordered the lunch, Katzenberg had also mentioned the «The Blair Witch Project» matter. 来到船上的餐厅,点过午餐,卡森伯格又提起了《女巫布莱尔》的事情。 „Second week 61 510,000 USD Box Office, two weeks of Box Office 8278 ten thousand USD, production cost actually only then trivial 6 ten thousand USD, in the next several weeks, total Box Office will possibly surpass 150 million USD. Now everybody was saying why perhaps this was you becomes the person wealth will break through 300 billion USD super rich and powerful people, perhaps in this world, did not have any movie to create compared with the «The Blair Witch Project» higher investment return ratio again.” “第二周6151万美元票房,两周累计票房8278万美元,制作成本却只有区区6万美元,未来几周,总票房很可能会超过1.5亿美元。现在大家都在说,或许这就是你为什么会成为第一个个人财富突破3000亿美元的超级富豪了,这世界上,恐怕没有任何电影能够再创造比《女巫布莱尔》更高的投资回报率了。” Eric received Amy the bottled water that Adams hands over, has smiled toward the girl, said to Katzenberg: „This is uncertain, the Hollywood not deficient miracle, was always right, mentioned this, now can also give that two young Director bonuses, previous time Internet marketing small team.” 艾瑞克接过艾米・亚当斯递过来的瓶装水,朝女郎笑了下,才对卡森伯格道:“这可不一定,好莱坞总是不缺乏奇迹的,对了,说起这个,现在也可以给那两位年轻导演一笔奖金了,还有上次的网络营销小团队。” The Katzenberg nod said: „Actually, does Kenneth make me ask your meaning exactly? I thought that 1 million USD was enough to each of them, this Box Office succeeds after all mainly because of the effect of our marketing plan.” 卡森伯格点头道:“其实,肯尼斯恰好让我问问你的意思？我觉得,给他们每人100万美元就足够了,这次票房成功毕竟主要还是因为我们营销方案的效果。” „Gives them 5 million USD, 1 million had a little,” Eric shook the head, says with a smile: „If you do not give up, I personal wrote a check to be good to them.” “给他们两人500万美元吧,100万有些少了,”艾瑞克摇摇头,笑道:“要是你们舍不得,我就私人写一张支票给他们好了。” „Good, then on 5 million. However, since this, although in our short-term does not plan to open the «The Blair Witch Project» sequel, but makes them newly sign two pieces approximately not to have the issue again, «The Blair Witch Project» obtained the Box Office success after all, even if makes the traditional movie, they definitely will be then easier than to be paid attention by the market new person Director.” “好吧,那就500万。不过,既然这样,虽然我们短期内不打算开《女巫布莱尔》的续集,但让他们两个重新签两部片约还是没问题的,《女巫布莱尔》毕竟获得了票房成功,哪怕是拍传统的影片,他们接下来肯定会比新人导演更容易受到市场的关注。” „This was you and Kenneth matter, I do not have that many energy now.” “这就是你和肯尼斯的事情了,我现在可没那么多精力。” „Said that” Katzenberg nods, said: „Do you want to attend the Oscar presentation ceremony tomorrow?” “说起来,”卡森伯格点点头,又道:“你明天要参加奥斯卡颁奖典礼吗？” „Does not have the interest, this year's Oscar does not have any good film.” “没兴趣,今年的奥斯卡可没什么好片子。” „Actually, I meant that” Katzenberg said: „The propaganda about «Iron Man», Eric, everybody present some are unable to start. According to the normal flow, a big manufacture movie, acts the leading role now should to start to participate in various television programs for the movie preheating.” “其实,我是说,”卡森伯格道:“关于《钢铁侠》的宣传,艾瑞克,大家现在都有些无从下手了。按照正常流程,一部大制作影片,现在主演就应该要开始参加各种电视节目为影片进行预热了。” „I also somewhat regretted now, should not receive this role,” the Eric forced smile said: „Recently after media such one restless, everybody definitely compares to be hostile to my this super rich and powerful people, does not know that can also watch the movie that I play personally, I have thought that must carry on to adjust to the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan, carries on the marginalization Iron Man.” “我现在也有些后悔了,真不该接下这个角色,”艾瑞克苦笑道:“这些日子经过媒体这么一闹腾,大家肯定都比较敌视我这个超级富豪,也不知道还会不会来观看我亲自出演的电影,我都想过,要不要对漫威电影宇宙计划进行调整了,把钢铁侠进行边缘化。” „This, if necessary, we truly have to such do.” Some Katzenberg expression also approvals, even does not have that regret in Eric expression. “这个,如果有必要的话,我们确实不得不这么做了。”卡森伯格表情也有些赞同,甚至没有艾瑞克语气中的那种遗憾。 After all, Iron Man is only Marvel two Superhero, reason that in the original space and time attains greatly successfully, causes the Iron Man fame and Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and X-Men series is equally matched, mainly is also the opportunity makes it so. 毕竟,钢铁侠本来就只是漫威的一个二线超级英雄,原时空中之所以大获成功,导致钢铁侠名气与蜘蛛侠、神奇四侠和战警系列不相上下,主要也是机遇使然。 But now, since the situation had too many changes, temporarily adjusts necessary. 但现在,既然情况发生了太多的变化,临时调整一下也是有必要的。 Eric also hesitant moment, said: „Good, this matter of doing must always be done, I will attend Oscar to be good tomorrow . Moreover, making That side Bowei according to normal start to plan the propaganda activity smoothly, I coordinate as far as possible.” 艾瑞克也犹豫了片刻,道:“好吧,该做的事情总是要做的,我明天出席奥斯卡好了,另外,让博伟那边按照正常流畅开始计划宣传活动吧,我尽可能地配合一下。” „Good.” Katzenberg complied with, Amy has carried their lunches, the talk stopped the moment, Katzenberg also said: „You have the arrangement in the evening, if idle, in my family prepared one slightly to send a team?” “好的。”卡森伯格应了一声,艾米将两人的午餐端了上来,谈话停顿了片刻,卡森伯格又道:“你晚上有安排吗,如果空闲的话,我家里准备了一个小派队？” Eric shakes the head with a smile, said: „In the afternoon must go to San Francisco, discussed that the stockholder's rights drive plan of Firefly electron, possibly does not come back tonight.” 艾瑞克笑着摇头,道:“下午还要去旧金山,讨论萤火虫电子的股权激励方案,今晚可能回不来了。”
