Because the time is tight, Eric was a guest of the «Oprah Show» news only with enough time has carried on the advance notification in the ABC channels, the Yahoo gateways as well as with Firefly system relations good several newspaper on. 由于时间仓促,艾瑞克做客《奥普拉秀》的消息只来得及在ABC频道、雅虎门户以及与萤火虫体系关系较好的几家报纸上进行了预告。 However, although Eric in fact does not hope that this issue of program receives too many attention, but watches television the result to stem from the expectations of many person finally. 不过,虽然艾瑞克实际上并不希望这期节目受到太多的关注,但最终收视结果还是出乎很多人的预料。 A half hour of interview, is counted advertisement, the entire issue of program 45 minutes, the highest reception population once rushed to 3 1.3 million, the average reception population has also achieved 26 600,000, this is almost more than three times of «Oprah Show» daily viewing ratio. 半个小时的访谈,算上广告,整期节目45分钟时间,最高收视人数一度冲到了3130万,平均收视人数也达到了2660万,这几乎是《奥普拉秀》日常收视率的三倍多。 As day the talk show, the «Oprah Show» usual first broadcast reception population is also only about 8 million. 作为日间脱口秀,《奥普拉秀》通常的首播收视人数也只有800万左右。 Along with broadcasting of this issue of «Oprah Show», all media also as if obtained the suggestion, starts to discuss more or less at this issue of talk show Eric about content that refers. 随着这期《奥普拉秀》的播出,各方媒体也仿佛得到了暗示,开始或多或少地讨论起关于这期脱口秀上艾瑞克谈及的内容。 However, the manner of majority of media is as before cautious. 不过,大部分媒体的态度依旧非常谨慎。 Because of yesterday afternoon, the Silicon Valley famous Chinese larch capital suddenly announced LH fund Manager Ronald news that Hill leaves job. Immediately, some media discovered quickly that Ronald Hill exactly is that provokes this event ‚Hollywood gossip’ website main investor. 因为就在昨天下午,硅谷著名的红杉资本突然宣布了旗下LH基金经理罗纳德・希尔离职的消息。随即,一些媒体很快发现,罗纳德・希尔恰好就是那家挑起这次事件的‘好莱坞八卦’网站主要投资人。 Meanwhile, yesterday evening, continued the down all day one ‚Hollywood gossip’ website issues to announce that announced the website permanent will close down. 与此同时,昨天晚上,持续宕机一整天的‘好莱坞八卦’网站发布公告,宣布网站将被永久关停。 Over two years accumulated the entertainment story website of very considerable current capacity as service time, according to fell into the crazy new technical tide heat degree presently completely, if this website goes on the market, the market value at least can also achieve 2-3 surely USD ranks. 作为一家运营时间已经超过两年积累了非常可观流量的娱乐新闻网站,按照当前已经完全陷入疯狂的新科技浪潮热度,这家网站如果上市,市值至少也能达到两三千万美元级别。 Because has exposed Eric the gossip news of Williams children, short day of time, a control property scale surpasses 1 billion USD large scale investment fund Manager to leave job, a market value possibly achieves tens of millions USD websites to be closed thoroughly. 只是因为曝光了艾瑞克・威廉姆斯子女的八卦新闻,短短一天时间,一位控制资产规模超过10亿美元的大型投资基金经理离职,一家市值可能达到数千万美元的网站被彻底关闭。 Although party concerneds to the reason keeps mouth shut, but all people understand that these two matters have the complicated relation with the Firefly system obviously. 虽然当事者都对其中缘由三缄其口,但所有人都明白,这两件事显然与萤火虫体系有着千丝万缕的联系。 Therefore, although obtains the suggestion that has been able to discuss, but the majority of media do not think, because published has provoked Eric opinion of Williams, sleep woke up hears itself to be dismissed is newspaper, website or TV Station is even out of business the news. 因此,虽然得到了可以讨论的暗示,但大部分媒体人都不想因为发表了招惹艾瑞克・威廉姆斯的言论,一觉醒来就听到自己被开除甚至是自家报纸、网站或者电视台关门倒闭的消息。 „Without a doubt, as a father, Eric Williams absolutely is very competent, especially considered this super rich and powerful people mister in the past also only then 20 over, this shouldered the responsibility the courage more commendable.” «New York Post» “毫无疑问,作为一个父亲,艾瑞克・威廉姆斯绝对是非常称职的,特别是考虑到这位超级富豪先生当年还只有20出头,这份承担责任的勇气就更加难能可贵。”《纽约邮报》 „Although Eric relations of Williams among with several women is somewhat special, the individuality that but this type sincere and frank, is bold in taking on, really lets the place that the person could not find too can criticize. Even, we have to remind the world's richest mister, you may result in have selected carefully, otherwise after you, will have many children.” Newsweek “虽然艾瑞克・威廉姆斯与几位女士之间的关系有些特别,但他这种真诚、坦率、勇于担当的个性,实在让人找不到太多可以指摘的地方。甚至,我们不得不提醒世界首富先生,你可得小心点了,否则你以后会有非常多的孩子。”《新闻周刊》 „When saw that Eric Williams places demonstrate these pictures, in my heart only then envies. Although I do not approve Eric open-type relations of Williams among with several women, but, he this careful emotion maintenance mode between the women and children, can actually to gradually the numb family bring some inspirations in the marriage.” Yahoo woman “当看到艾瑞克・威廉姆斯一张张地展示那些照片,我的心中只有羡慕。虽然我并不认可艾瑞克・威廉姆斯与几个女人之间的开放型关系,但同时,他对于女人和子女之间这种精心的情感维护方式,却可以为很多在婚姻生活中已经逐渐麻木的家庭带来一些启发。”雅虎女人 „As Director, screenwriter, as well as Actor, our Mr. Williams slightly has managed some side occupations, in unknowingly accumulated hundreds of billions USD net worth, this indeed makes Wall Street all investors feel shameful. However, his narration about third Industrial Revolution is truly penetrating, we are at a brand-new wealth assignment time, therefore, seizes the opportunity, otherwise, you really can only wait again for 100 years, naturally, if who can live for 100 years later.” «Wall Street Daily» “作为一个导演,一个编剧,以及一个演员,我们的威廉姆斯先生只是稍微经营了一些副业,就在不知不觉中积累了数千亿美元的身家,这的确让华尔街所有投资人都感到无地自容。不过,他那段关于第三次工业革命的评述确实非常精辟,我们正处在一个全新的财富分配时期,所以,抓住机会吧,否则,你就真的只能再等100年了,当然,如果有谁能活到100年后的话。”《华尔街日报》 „Eric Williams to Howard the disappointment of Hughes biography, perhaps is to the disappointment of entire media industry news manner. In recent years, the media profession becomes more and more impetuous, too multimedia gradually lost them as serious and labor of news platform sincerely, merely only for higher newspaper sales volume and a higher viewing ratio, but watches the gossip entertainment story that these win favor by ostentation.” «Washington Post» “艾瑞克・威廉姆斯对霍华德・休斯传记的失望,或许是对整个传媒行业新闻态度的失望。这些年来,传媒行业变得越来越浮躁,太多媒体已经逐渐失去他们作为新闻平台的严肃和工谨,仅仅只为了更高的报纸销量和更高的收视率,而去关注那些哗众取宠的八卦娱乐新闻。”《华盛頓邮报》 „To suppress the competitor carries on not to have the malignancy of bottom line to engage in factional strife, this may bring the temporary benefit for some side, but harms is actually the foundation of entire profession. When all people gave up the proper business ethics, routinely when the dependence discredits the match for oneself strives for the superiority, the final result can only be the reputation collapse of entire profession. The people are unable to distinguish the fit and unfit quality, completely will only delimit to make one basket of rotten Apple the entire circle, then evades, but far it.” «Hollywood Reporter» “为了打压竞争对手而进行毫无底线的恶性倾轧,这或许会为某一方带来一时的利益,但损害的却是整个行业的根基。当所有人都放弃了应有的商业操守,习惯性地依靠抹黑对手为自身争取优势时,最终的结果只会是全行业的口碑崩坏。人们无从分辨优劣,只会将整个圈子全部划作一筐烂苹果,然后避而远之。”《好莱坞报道者》 „......” “……” „......” “……” Overall, afterward the media regarding the appraisal of entire item matter, either maintain the appreciation, either is superficial, either attended to about him, occasionally presents some criticism the voice, is unable to have any influence to the general orientation media trend again. 总体而言,随后媒体对于整件事的评价,要么保持赞赏,要么轻描淡写,要么顾左右而言他,偶尔出现一些批评的声音,也无法再对大方向的媒体趋势造成任何影响。 Naturally, this naturally is not the general media suddenly gets better speaks. 当然,这自然不是广大媒体突然变得非常好说话。 Reason that so, on the one hand is Eric in the sincere confident manner in «Oprah Show» showing, on the other hand, is the strong manner of Firefly system makes the majority of media dread. 之所以会如此,一方面是艾瑞克在《奥普拉秀》中表现出的真诚坦然态度,另一方面,也是萤火虫体系的强势态度让大部分媒体有所忌惮。 Comes under the influence of media trend, in the general publics heart with enough time has not even formed the prejudice, unknowingly accepted Eric and several women relations, as well as he is three child fathers' facts. 受到媒体趋势的影响,普通民众心中甚至都还没来得及形成偏见,就已经不知不觉地接受了艾瑞克与几个女人之间的关系,以及他已经是三个孩子父亲的事实。 Naturally, this tolerant or indifferent manner, to a great extent is also because the Eric wealth status makes it so. Has hundreds of billions USD super rich and powerful people, looks like in the majority of average people, the private life should be extremely ‚colorful’, Eric before side that the media displays, regarding many people, even has restrained. 当然,这种宽容或者无所谓的态度,很大程度上也是因为艾瑞克的财富地位使然。一个拥有数千亿美元的超级富豪,在大部分普通人看来,私生活都应该是极其‘丰富多彩’的,艾瑞克在媒体前表现出来的一面,对于很多人来说,甚至已经非常收敛了。 As this has almost not raised too many storms the gossip events to subside rapidly, «Iron Man» that originally propaganda tendency blotted out the sky, audience anticipation, not only has not fallen, on popularity instead. The most direct-viewing performance is, web portal and on the search engine the discussion search heat degree about «Iron Man» markedly rose a big truncation. 随着这起几乎没有掀起太多风浪的八卦事件迅速平息,原本宣传势头就已经铺天盖地的《钢铁侠》,观众期待度不但没有下跌,人气反而更上一层。最直观的表现就是,门户网站和搜索引擎上关于《钢铁侠》的谈论搜索热度明显上升了一大截。 As Marvel Cinematic Universe the work of introduction, moreover won very good preliminary reputation, because if the gossip event causes the unfavorable situation of movie Box Office together, even if Firefly Group can definitely bear commercial loss, but regarding the attack of entire Marvel Cinematic Universe plan is actually very serious. 作为漫威电影宇宙的开篇之作,而且还已经赢得了非常不错的前期口碑,如果因为一起八卦事件导致影片票房的失利,即使萤火虫集团完全能够承担这其中的商业损失,但对于整个漫威电影宇宙计划的打击却是非常严重的。 Now, all return to the stock rail, all people felt relieved. 现在,一切回到正轨,所有人都放下心来。 Naturally, in secret, a lot had not ended. 当然,私下里,很多事情都还没有结束。 Others fights with the fists black, if cannot counter-attack the opposite party not to dare to get rid one time easily, the following petty action only will follow on somebody's heels. 别人一记黑拳打过来,如果不能一次性反击到对方再也不敢轻易出手,那么,接下来的小动作只会接踵而至。 Long Island, Eath Hampton. 长岛,东汉普顿。 The speed that because the event subsides is rapid, the women and children by far shunt in the earliest possible time that the matter has, this time Eath Hampton appears very tranquil, from beginning to end has not presented any media accumulation the scene. 由于事件平息的速度非常迅速,女人和孩子们在事情发生的第一时间又远远地躲开,此时的东汉普顿显得非常平静,自始至终都没有出现任何媒体聚集的场面。 However, two women lead the children actually immediately not to return, but is the plan ends the following summer vacation time in Australia. 不过,两个女人带着孩子们却也没有立刻返回,而是计划在澳洲度完接下来的暑假时光。 Therefore, in the Eath Hampton seaside manor, has a Eric husband at this time at home. 因此,东汉普顿的临海庄园里,此时就只有艾瑞克一个男主人在家。 Participated in «Oprah Show», Eric rushed to here, he cannot actually the following responses of 100% foreknowledge media and public, simply on own initiative avoids. 参加完《奥普拉秀》,艾瑞克就赶到了这里,他其实也不能100预知媒体和公众的后续反应,干脆主动避开。 Finally naturally satisfies people, Eric also changes the thoughts processes in the conclusion of this matter. 结果自然让人非常满意,艾瑞克也将心思转向处理这件事的收尾上。 However, today's guest, is actually George Szo Ross. 不过,今天的客人,却是乔治・索罗斯。 Very long does not see, old man is one is in high spirits the appearance as before. 很久不见,老头子依旧是一副精神矍铄的模样。 The quantum fund had come a big cropper in the Russia bond stock market last year, although lost 3 billion USD, but has not injured and basis. 量子基金去年在俄罗斯债券股票市场栽了一个大跟头,虽然损失了30亿美元,但并未伤及根本。 Those who let Eric admire, most dares to take risk the hedge fund investor who as all person eyes, rope Ross this time is to actually be similar to Buffett such, has avoided even more turbulent NASDAQ market astutely discretely. Although the quantum fund also participated in the investment of hi-tech stock, but the scale is small, is more like probe conveniently, even if the fund of investment loses all completely, is immaterial. 让艾瑞克佩服的是,作为所有人眼中最敢于冒险的对冲基金投资人,索罗斯这次却是如同巴菲特那样,非常精明谨慎地避开了越发汹涌的纳斯达克市场。量子基金虽然也参与了科技股的投资,但规模却非常小,更像是随手的试探,投入的资金即使全部输光,也无关紧要。 Compares, initially and quantum fund compound tiger fund, because founder Julyan Robertson continues the great writer to detain the note to make the spatial hi-tech stock, rises along with continuing of NASDAQ index, for several months the time, the capital scale of this hedge fund rapidly fell 11 billion USD, compares two years ago prosperous times, shrinks to be over half. 相比起来,当初和量子基金并列的老虎基金,由于创始人朱利安・罗伯逊持续大手笔押注做空科技股,随着纳斯达克指数的持续上扬,短短几个月时间,这家对冲基金的资本规模就已经迅速跌到了110亿美元,相比两年前的鼎盛时期,缩水超过一半。 Since the first month of summer, in the manor in the lawn of sight of green abundancy is suspending a round table. 进入初夏,庄园内绿意盎然的草坪上摆着一张圆桌。 Eric and rope Ross is drinking the coffee, while was chatting at will recent a lot. 艾瑞克和索罗斯一边喝着咖啡,一边随意闲聊着最近的很多事情。 „Actually, I to hi-tech stock am also very Tempted, but before the present aspect can only make me think in 1987 the major stockholder disaster these crazy. Let alone, I am few to the new technology industry understanding, could not follow the time as one old man, I thought that by far avoid to well.” “其实,我对科技股也是非常动心的,只是现在的局面只能让我想到1987年大股灾之前的那些疯狂。更何况,我对新科技行业了解非常少,作为一个已经跟不上时代的老头子,我觉得还是远远避开为好。” Refers to this time NASDAQ market, in the rope Ross expression is having one type the disappointment of missing the golden opportunity, but obviously is also calm exceptionally. 谈及此时的纳斯达克市场,索罗斯语气里带着一种错过大好时机的失望,但又明显冷静异常。 A Eric hand puts on tabletop, is sideways to sit, curls upwards the leg vision to size up afternoon sunlight view under safely at will sloppily, said: „These years, I biggest feelings are this. The genuine intelligent investor is always not a gambler, everybody occasionally the unfavorable situation is only cannot accurately judge the aspect, but is not because the luck is not good.” 艾瑞克一只手搁在桌面上,侧身而坐,随意翘着腿目光散漫地打量着午后阳光下的安然景致,说道:“这些年来,我最大的感触就是这点。真正聪明的投资人从来都不是赌徒,大家偶尔的失利只是没能更加准确地判断局面,而不是因为运气不好。” Somalian Ross slight bow, puts down the coffee cup in hand, said with a smile: „Therefore, Eric, you invite me to come today, to not chat, although chatted with you truly makes people very happy?” 索罗斯微微点着头,放下手中的咖啡杯,笑道:“所以,艾瑞克,你今天邀请我过来,不会只是为了聊天吧,虽然和你聊天确实让人挺愉快的？” „Naturally is not,” Eric was saying, carried coffee to drink one, said: „A while ago, I also had in the office to discover some wiretap devices in my dwelling.” “当然不是,”艾瑞克说着,端起身旁的咖啡喝了一口,道:“前段时间,我在我的住处还有办公室里发现了一些窃听器。” „This matter, everyone has met,” heard Eric saying that rope Ross actually indifferently smiled, said: „You later will be familiar with.” “这种事情啊,谁都遇到过,”听到艾瑞克这么说,索罗斯却无所谓地笑了笑,道:“你以后就会习惯的。” „Perhaps,” Eric also smiled, said: „But, then we looked up something.” “或许吧,”艾瑞克也笑了笑,道:“不过,接下来我们还是查到了一些东西的。” „Un?” “嗯？” „First found has laid aside the person of wiretap device, then upward investigated that found entrusted the intermediate of this matter, the operation fund anonymous fund of opposite party from Cayman Islands. You know that then was quite difficult to look up.” “先是找到了放置窃听器的人,然后就往上追究,找到了委托这件事的中间人,对方的运作资金来自开曼群岛的一家匿名基金。你知道的,接下来就比较难查了。” Somalian Ross nods, has produced some curiously, said: „Then?” 索罗斯点点头,也产生了一些好奇,道:“然后呢？” All people who „the manpower of Firefly employment has not found out this fund. However, we had actually found some cases of this fund subsidization, the bill lobby and travel subsidization and so on. These cases, basically aim at the Scott gas company in Pennsylvania state,” Eric was saying, takes up on the tabletop an envelope, pulls out a picture to give Somalian Ross from inside, said: „Exactly, we discovered that Boss Milos of Scott gas company Scott was the important customer of tiger fund, the Scott family at least had invested five about hundred million USD funds to the tiger fund. Nà, here has a Milos Scott and Julyan Robertson's group photo.” “萤火虫雇佣的人手并没有查出这家基金的所有人。不过,我们却找到了这家基金资助的一些案例,法案游说、旅行资助之类。这些案例,基本上都指向宾夕法尼亚州的斯科特天然气公司,”艾瑞克说着,拿起桌面上一个信封,从里面掏出一张照片递给索罗斯,道:“恰好,我们又发现,斯科特天然气公司的老板米洛斯・斯科特一直都是老虎基金的重要客户,斯科特家族至少向老虎基金投入了五亿美元左右的资金。呐,我这里恰好有一张米洛斯・斯科特和朱利安・罗伯逊的合照。” Somalian Ross is listening patiently, actually knows at heart that these press for payment the process superficially absolutely not like Eric described at this time. 索罗斯耐心听着,心里却是知道,这些追索过程绝对不像艾瑞克此时描述的这样轻描淡写。 Received the picture to look at one, rope Ross conveniently has put down, shakes the head saying: „Eric, these could not prove anything.” 接过照片看了一眼,索罗斯就随手放下,摇头道:“艾瑞克,这些证明不了什么。” „I do not want to prove anything, I do not plan to sue anyone,” Eric also similarly shakes the head, the corners of the mouth are having the faint smile, said: „I only hope that you can help me transmit this picture to Mr. Robertson, meanwhile some my advice, which company he wants to do to empty is his freedom, but, do not put out a hand toward Firefly again. Everybody is clear the NASDAQ market momentarily possibly to crash, but Firefly has enough fund to support our any stock price, when necessary, I even can circulation stock full buy-backs in some products.” “我没想证明什么,我又不打算起诉谁,”艾瑞克也同样摇头,嘴角带着浅笑,道:“我只希望您能帮我把这张照片转交给罗伯逊先生,同时还有我的忠告,他想做空哪家公司是他的自由,但是,不要再朝萤火虫伸手。大家都清楚纳斯达克市场随时都可能崩盘,但萤火虫有足够的资金可以支撑我们旗下任何一家公司股价,必要的时候,我甚至可以将一些公司市场上的流通股全盘回购。” „Actually, the operation about clover fund, should be I most confuses, but has to admire the point of your this kid. Naturally, I also know that you definitely to me will not disclose in now perhaps anything, waits for these matters to settle down, you can give me this old man to speak the attainment slightly,” the rope Ross thread of conversation transferred suddenly, loads into the picture the western-style clothes pocket conveniently, nods saying: „I will transmit to his.” “其实,关于三叶草基金的运作,应该算是我最为迷惑但又不得不佩服你这小家伙的一点。当然,我也知道你现在肯定不会向我透露什么内的,或许等这些事情尘埃落定,你可以稍微给我这个老头子讲讲心得,”索罗斯话锋突然转了一下,随手将照片装进西服口袋里,才点头道:“我会转交给他的。” Said this matter, chatted several, rope Ross then said goodbye to leave. 说完这件事,又聊了几句,索罗斯便告辞离开。 Delivers rope dancing Ross, Eric returns to the backyard in once more lawn, Meyer waited here, looks at Eric to sit down, Meyer could not bear ask one: „Eric, such consider as finished?” 送走索罗斯,艾瑞克再次回到后院的草坪上,梅耶尔已经等在这里,看艾瑞克坐下,梅耶尔还是忍不住问了一句:“艾瑞克,就这么算了？” After Eric remembered rope Ross just ‚you, custom’ those words, say with a smile: „Otherwise?” 艾瑞克想起索罗斯刚刚‘你以后就会习惯的’那句话,笑着道:“要不然呢？” A while ago large-scale interception, secret pulling strings obviously impossible, only then tiger fund, Eric also quite luckily caught the tail of tiger fund. Since has not caused the harm to oneself, Eric impossible to make the too intense response like this network gossip event, later can only take stricter measure. 前段时间的大规模窃听,幕后指使者显然不可能只有老虎基金一家,艾瑞克也只是比较幸运地抓到了老虎基金的尾巴而已。既然没有对自身造成损害,艾瑞克也不可能像这次网络八卦事件那样做出太激烈的反应,以后只能采取更加严密的防范措施。 Looks at the female assistant puzzled expression, Eric continues the say|way: „Then Julyan Robertson should not get rid to the Firefly system again, if he continues such to do, I did not mind that pulls out a stick to go back. Moreover, this person completely fell into a gambler mentality now, according to the tiger fund current trend , to continue to do to empty, finally only then the bankruptcy reconciles a road, we do not need to make anything again additionally.” 看着女助理不解的表情,艾瑞克继续道道:“接下来朱利安・罗伯逊应该不会再向萤火虫体系出手了,他要是继续这么做,我也不介意抽一棍子回去。而且,这个人现在完全已经陷入一种赌徒心态,按照老虎基金目前的趋势,继续做空下去,结果就只有破产清盘一条路,我们也没必要再额外做什么。” Meyer nods, tidies up carefully the tea set on round table, returns to behind villa moment, traded pot hot coffee to come back, said: „Eric, Ronald Hill, is ‚Hollywood gossip’ that investor, he in New York, said that now is the hope can apologize to you face to face, can see him?” 梅耶尔点点头,细心地将圆桌上的茶具收拾好,返回身后的别墅片刻,换了一壶热咖啡回来,道:“艾瑞克,罗纳德・希尔,就是‘好莱坞八卦’的那个投资人,他现在已经在纽约,说是希望能够当面向你道歉,要见他吗？” Eric continued some coffee to oneself, asked lightly: „Is only these?” 艾瑞克给自己续了一些咖啡,淡淡地问道:“就只是这些吗？” The folder that „fax,” Meyer just in another hand will take hands over, said: „The head in that website confessed on own initiative, Paramount Pictures release Vice Chairman Stanley Coulomb has given him 300,000 USD, these news releases are also the Paramount aspect provide.” “还有一份传真,”梅耶尔将刚刚另外一只手里拿的文件夹递过来,道:“那个网站的负责人主动坦白了,派拉蒙影业的发行副总裁斯坦利・库伦给了他30万美元,那些新闻稿也是派拉蒙方面提供的。”
