Tom after Freston and Eric meeting, the Viacom aspect has not given any response consecutively for several days afterward. 汤姆・弗雷斯顿与艾瑞克的会面之后,维亚康姆方面随后连续几天都没有给出任何回应。 Since Redstone also tries our luck, Eric will be naturally impolite. 既然雷石东还心存侥幸,艾瑞克自然也不会客气。 Therefore, Paramount Pictures possibly faces the funding chain fracture problem the hearsay to disseminate rapidly, attacks the stock price that Viacom is falling unceasingly continually. 于是,派拉蒙影业可能面临资金链断裂问题的传闻迅速散播开来,持续打击着维亚康姆不断下跌的股价。 On the other hand, Wall Street investor Carr Kan is buying up the Viacom group stock the matter also quickly to be exposed in secret, suddenly, the major stockholder and the management pressure Viacom group multiplies. 另一方面,华尔街投资人卡尔・伊坎正在暗中买进维亚康姆集团股票的事情也很快被曝光,一时间,维亚康姆集团的大股东和管理层都压力倍增。 In fact, in previous time lunch process, Carr Kan understands that Eric did not plan supports him to capture the domination of Viacom group. 实际上,上次的午餐过程中,卡尔・伊坎就明白艾瑞克并不打算支持他夺取维亚康姆集团的控制权。 However, Carr Kan has formed the tacit understanding with Eric as before, emits itself to buy in the Viacom group stock on own initiative the matter, the intention forces Redstone to obey. So long as the Viacom group and Firefly system reconciles, the Viacom stock price definitely rapidly will rise again, Carr Kan can also buy in tall Mai to earn a profit of not poor from this wave lowly. 不过,卡尔・伊坎依旧与艾瑞克形成了默契,主动放出自己正在吸纳维亚康姆集团股票的事情,意图逼迫雷石东就范。只要维亚康姆集团与萤火虫体系和解,维亚康姆的股价肯定会迅速回升,卡尔・伊坎也就能够从这一波低买高卖中赚取一笔不菲的利润。 Falls to the counter city of Viacom group stock price, meaning that the crazy rising trend of entire NASDAQ bulk lots slightly has not actually stopped. 相对于维亚康姆集团股价的逆市下跌,整个纳斯达克大盘的疯狂涨势却丝毫没有停止的意思。 May last day exactly is on Monday. 五月的最后一天恰好是周一。 Last week after breaking 4000, today just the opening price, the NASDAQ index again set new high, reached 4135 points. 上周突破4000点大关之后,今天刚刚开盘,纳斯达克指数就再创新高,达到4135点。 Because «Iron Man» attains greatly successfully, as well as these days Eric I with the NASDAQ index almost in the property figure of rising suddenly, the massive newspaper media start real-time to pay attention to his individual net worth every time, in the network even presented the special statistical website. 由于《钢铁侠》的大获成功,以及这段时间艾瑞克本人伴随着纳斯达克指数几乎每时每刻都在暴涨的资产数字,大量报纸媒体都开始实时关注起他的个人身家,网络上甚至出现了专门的统计网站。 Closed till last Friday, the credibility under Eric name has achieved 475 billion USD this to let the countless person dazzling digit. 截止上周五收盘,艾瑞克名下的个人资产已经达到了4750亿美元这个让无数人炫目的数字。 However, at this time Eric to this temporarily have big bubble ingredient the property digit not to care, compares, he cared hi-tech stock leverage progress that now the clover fund has. 不过,此时艾瑞克自己都对这一暂时存在很大泡沫成分的资产数字不太在意,相比起来,他现在更关心三叶草基金持有的科技股套现进度。 Firefly cinema city. 萤火虫影城。 Starting from late March now, exactly the past ten weeks of time, Carolyn very early in the morning has counted the newest financial data in clover fund. 从三月下旬开始到现在,恰好过去十周时间,卡洛琳一大早就将三叶草基金方面的最新财务数据统计了出来。 „Last week, various places held the plate work room to sell the hi-tech stock total value once more are 2.3 billion 22 million USD, the clover fund cash scale have achieved 2 1.6 billion 7 1 million USD cashes. According to the current stock price, in clover fund hand the surplus hi-tech stock stock total value is 1 2.8 billion 5 5 million USD. If the NASDAQ index maintains the current upward trend, some surplus this stocks estimated that can also obtain about 50% increments, this means that the clover fund grand total can leverage the fund scale is about 40 billion USD.” “上周,各处操盘工作室再次卖出科技股总价值为23亿2200万美元,三叶草基金累计现金规模已经达到216亿7100万美元现金。按照当前股价,三叶草基金手中剩余科技股股票总价值为128亿5500万美元。如果纳斯达克指数保持目前的上涨趋势,剩余这部分股票预计还能获得50%左右的增值,这意味着,三叶草基金总计能够套现资金规模为400亿美元左右。” In office, Eric is listening to the report of Carolyn, while is reading in the hand more detailed data report. 办公室里,艾瑞克一边听着卡洛琳的汇报,一边翻看着手中更加详细的数据报表。 40 billion USD cashes, to the account net worth of equivalent height, this are the true capital strengths. Even if after completing pays taxes, the surplus funds also enough support the next expansion of Firefly system, once the layout of next stage is completed, the property under Eric name will not have immediately the so serious bubble absolutely again. 400亿美元的现金,相对于虚高的账面身家来说,这才是真正的资本实力。哪怕完成缴税之后,剩余的资金也足够支撑萤火虫体系的下一步扩张,一旦下一阶段的布局完成,艾瑞克名下的资产绝对不会再存在当下如此严重的泡沫。 Heart central disk consider as finished a while, Eric also said to Carolyn: „Our only remaining six weeks of time, then must speed up selling the progress probably, you draw up a plan today again to me.” 心中盘算了一会儿,艾瑞克又对卡洛琳道:“我们大概只剩下六周时间,接下来必须加快卖出进度,你今天再拟定一份计划给我。” Carolyn nods, changes other topics. 卡洛琳点点头,又转向其他话题。 The manufacture of «Gravity» entered the final stage, the Eric following several weekly assemblies places at this matter the majority of energy. 《地心引力》的制作已经进入最后阶段,艾瑞克接下来几周会把大部分精力都放在这件事上。 After short work bulletin, Eric was planning that leaves the office to go to the late production center in cinema city, his personal cell phone has then made a sound. 短暂的工作简报后,艾瑞克正打算离开办公室去影城内的后期制作中心,他的私人手机便响了起来。 Looked at the eye to come the electricity to show that Eric sat once more, by connected the call on the leather chair, said: „Good morning, Summer.” 看了眼来电显示,艾瑞克再次坐了回去,靠在皮椅上接通电话,道:“上午好,萨默。” Opposite silent the moment, the Redstone sound passed on: ” 1.5 billion USD, Eric, this is the bottom line that I can accept, if you did not agree, Viacom can with the Firefly resistance. ” 对面沉默了片刻,雷石东的声音才传了过来:”15亿美元,艾瑞克,这是我能够接受的底线,如果你不同意,维亚康姆可以和萤火虫对抗到底。” 1.5 billion USD, obviously is the offer of Redstone to showtime TV Station. 15亿美元,显然是雷石东对showtime电视台的报价。 This price to Showtime TV Station 1.2 billion USD has been higher than 25% compared with the estimate value of Firefly, but to the prospects for development of charge wired stage, the offer of 1.5 billion USD is far from exceeding the Eric withstanding upper limit. 这个价格比萤火虫对Showtime电视台12亿美元的估值高出了25%,但相对于收费有线台的发展前景来说,15亿美元的报价远远没有超过艾瑞克的承受上限。 „Ok,” stop moment, Eric then nods slightly, said immediately: „Sherry Lansing.” “可以,”稍微停顿片刻,艾瑞克便点头,又立刻道:“还有雪莉・兰辛。” „Viacom will announce the news that in the afternoon Sherry leaves job, in the meantime, Firefly must cancel immediately all in view of the measure of Viacom group.” “维亚康姆下午会宣布雪莉离职的消息,同时,萤火虫必须立刻取消所有针对维亚康姆集团的措施。” Eric simply nods once more very much: „Does not have the issue.” 艾瑞克再次很干脆地点头:“没问题。” The voice just fell, the opposite has hung up the telephone. 话音刚落,对面就挂断了电话。 Eric did not mind that continues to dial Katzenberg and the others the telephones, confesses, this sets out to leave the office. 艾瑞克也不介意,继续拨通卡森伯格等人的电话,交代一番,这才起身离开办公室。 2 : 00 pm, Viacom then issues to announce through the official website, Sherry Hollywood two big female leaders Lansing will resign from the Paramount Pictures CEO duty for personal reasons, this work is united Chairman Tom by Viacom temporarily Freston holds a concurrent post, found the brand-new appropriate candidate until Paramount. 下午两点,维亚康姆便通过官方网站发布公告,好莱坞两大女掌门之一的雪莉・兰辛由于个人原因将辞去派拉蒙影业CEO的职务,这一工作暂时由维亚康姆联合总裁汤姆・弗雷斯顿兼任,直到派拉蒙找到全新的合适人选。 Normally, the Hollywood seven big Film Studio leaders leave job, definitely will cause one of the media to discuss. 正常情况下,好莱坞七大电影公司的掌门人离职,肯定会引起媒体的一番热议。 However, suddenly hears this news, although under the heart shocks, but the majority of North America media actually show one very cautious manner. 不过,突然听到这一消息,虽然心下震惊,但大部分北美媒体却都表现出一种非常谨慎的态度。 These many days later, in the media industry basically understood the Firefly system and reason of Viacom conflict, even if the general publics, can openly or covertly understand the fact general idea from many media article prompt easily. 这么多天下来,传媒业内基本上都已经明白萤火虫体系与维亚康姆争端的缘由,哪怕是普通民众,也能轻易从很多媒体文章或明或暗的提示中了解事实大概。 Viacom incites the gossip website to expose Eric secretly Williams children information, after it happened encountered the retaliation of entire Firefly system, so long as clashing between this business tycoons has not affected the life of average person, most people only will be holding one type the stance that eats the melon to see a play. 维亚康姆幕后指使八卦网站曝光艾瑞克・威廉姆斯子女信息,事发之后遭到整个萤火虫体系的报复,这种企业巨头之间的对撞只要没有影响到普通人的生活,大部分人都只会抱着一种吃瓜看戏的姿态。 The final development stems from the imagination of many person. 只是,最终的事态发展还是出乎很多人的想象。 The ordinary public sees the event to subside, gradually the attention will only change other. But the media sector, actually deeply feels the Firefly system the terrifying strength that has exposed to show since the previous network gossip event. 普通公众见事件平息,只会逐渐将注意力转向其他。但媒体行业内部,却深深感受到萤火虫体系从上次网络八卦事件曝光以来所展现出的恐怖实力。 Although after Viacom issue announcement, the Firefly system announced reconciles quickly with the Blockbuster chain store, some heads of Wall Street movie fund also on own initiative clarify with the Paramount Pictures cooperation non- existing problem, after the Viacom stock price stops the declining tendency, along with the overall trend of NASDAQ index starts the fast snapping back. 虽然维亚康姆发布公告之后,萤火虫体系很快宣布与百视达连锁店和解,一些华尔街电影基金的负责人也主动出面澄清与派拉蒙影业的合作并不存在问题,维亚康姆的股价止住颓势之后,随着纳斯达克指数的整体趋势开始快速回弹。 However, the Viacom group is also serious for the price that oneself petty action in secret pays. 不过,维亚康姆集团为自己暗中的小动作付出的代价也可谓非常惨重。 Paramount Pictures CEO Sherry Lansing is forced to resign, not only makes Viacom completely lose in the Hollywood interior face countenance, in recent years strove the Viacom Film Industry service that maintains definitely also because of Sherry departure of Lansing has one misfortune after another. 派拉蒙影业CEO雪莉・兰辛被迫辞职,不但让维亚康姆在好莱坞内部颜面尽失,最近几年本就只是勉力维持的维亚康姆电影业务肯定也会因为雪莉・兰辛的离开而雪上加霜。 Came under the influence of Firefly system, Paramount wants to find a qualified helmsman again, absolutely was not an easy matter. 受到萤火虫体系的影响,派拉蒙想要再找到一个合格的掌舵人,也绝对不是一件容易的事情。 Afterward, the Viacom group announced that gives Showtime TV Station by 1.5 billion USD to Firefly Group, the cable TV service of this matter to Viacom is a grave attack. 随后,维亚康姆集团宣布以15亿美元将旗下Showtime电视台转让给萤火虫集团,这件事对维亚康姆的有线电视业务更是一次深重的打击。 Calculates carefully that from Eric the Williams children gossip news exposes now, the counter-attack of entire Firefly system completely leaves no ground. This also lets flaunt that the free media profoundly realized again the fearfulness of capital, regarding being related to the Eric news becomes even more is discrete, for fear that accidentally provokes this maneating capital monster. 仔细算算,从艾瑞克・威廉姆斯子女八卦新闻曝光到现在,整个萤火虫体系的反击就完全是不留余地。这也让很多标榜自由的媒体再一次深刻体会到了资本的可怕,对于事关艾瑞克的新闻都变得越发谨慎起来,生怕无意中招惹到这头凶悍的资本怪兽。 Many media to a splendid giant clash shortly are actually not able to report heartily when is regret, the occurrence of another matter, shifted the attention of all people quickly. 很多媒体为眼看着一场精彩的巨头对撞却无法尽情报道而感到遗憾时,另外一件事情的发生,很快将所有人的注意力都转移了过去。 On June 7, after being three months of verification, the United States Ministry of Justice and federation trade the committee, Federal Communications Commission and other big departments, finally announced to the outside that has forwarded AOL and Time Warner merger. 6月7日,经过长达三个月时间的审核,美国司法部和联邦交易委员会、联邦通讯委员会等几大部门,终于对外宣布,批转了美国在线与时代华纳的合并案。 Three months, AOL and market value sum totals of Time Warner two big new and old media giants rose suddenly at this time 277 billion USD, the merges of two companies, surmount Firefly Group and Yahoo at one fell swoop, becomes the North America first big comprehensive media group. 三个月时间,美国在线和时代华纳两大新旧传媒巨头的市值总和此时已经暴涨到了2770亿美元,两家公司的合并,一举超越萤火虫集团和雅虎,成为北美第一大综合性传媒集团。 Is enjoying Steve of Internet raging tide most peak honor Kyes appears more high-spirited, even has abandoned since last year a series of friction of AOL and Firefly Group, telephones to Eric on own initiative, hopes that he can join the New York Plaza Hotel is the celebration merit cocktail party that AOL and Time Warner group successful merger holds. 享受着互联网狂潮最巅峰荣光的史蒂夫・凯斯显得更加意气风发,甚至抛开了从去年以来美国在线与萤火虫集团的一系列摩擦,主动打电话给艾瑞克,希望他能够参加纽约广场饭店为美国在线和时代华纳集团成功合并所举办的庆功酒会。 Although is busy with the final work of «Gravity», but, Showtime TV Station Headquarters also in New York. Firefly Group and Viacom have signed the business contract. Although some following connection work have not been completed, Eric decides to arrive at New York one to chat with the Showtime TV Station head personally, therefore in spite of being very busy was then flying. 虽然忙于《地心引力》的最后工作,不过,Showtime电视台的总部也在纽约。萤火虫集团与维亚康姆已经签署了交易合约。虽然还有很多后续的交接工作没有完成,艾瑞克还是决定亲自到纽约一趟与Showtime电视台负责人谈谈,于是便在百忙之中飞了过来。 Close to the Central Park Plaza Hotel, the weather greatly is bright, Manhattan innumerable names ** brave starts to gather to here. 临近中央公园的广场饭店,天色还是大亮,曼哈顿的无数名**英就开始向此处聚集。 When Eric rushes to Manhattan is afternoon five o'clock, has rested in the Cindy dwelling, led a girl of splendid attire to catch up. 艾瑞克赶到曼哈顿时已经是下午五点钟,在辛迪的住处休息了一番,就带着一身盛装的女郎赶了过来。 After getting out, is pulling Eric affectionate across the media area, after the photograph wall signature takes a souvenir photo, they directly entered the big banquet hall in hotel. 下车之后,亲昵地挽着艾瑞克穿过媒体区,在拍照墙边签字留影之后,两人就直接进入了酒店内的大宴会厅。 Just entered the banquet hall, Steve Kasies personally welcomed. 刚刚走进宴会大厅,史蒂夫・凯丝就亲自迎了过来。 Eric politeness landlord trend Steve Kyes puts out a hand, said: „Steve, congratulates you.” 艾瑞克礼貌地主动向史蒂夫・凯斯伸出手,道:“史蒂夫,恭喜你。” „Thanks, Eric, you can come very much happily tonight,” Steve Kyes's expression is similarly impregnable, shook hand with Cindy, talked several, the opposite party leaves to welcome other guests. “谢谢,艾瑞克,很高兴今晚你能够过来,”史蒂夫・凯斯的表情同样无懈可击,又和辛迪握了握手,交谈几句,对方才离开去迎接其他客人。 Eric has greeted with other guests of knowing well, then under brings Cindy to arrive at a dinner table to be implicated together. 艾瑞克与其他一些熟识的宾客打过招呼,便带着辛迪一起来到一处餐桌旁坐下。 Took two glasses of red wines from the attendant tray, waits for the opposite party to leave, Cindy in a low voice said to Eric: „I did last week have inspected, the doctor said that very possible is a boy.” 从侍应生托盘里取了两杯红酒,等对方离开,辛迪才低声对艾瑞克道:“我上周去做过检查了呢,医生说很可能是个男孩。” Eric sips a red wine, said with a smile: „Do two months are less, see?” 艾瑞克抿了口红酒,笑道:“才两个月不到吧,怎么看出来的？” „I hope that is a boy,” in the Cindy vision is having the anticipation, said: „Estimate was to see my thoughts, the doctor said that I also liked listening in any case.” “我希望是个男孩啊,”辛迪目光中带着期待,道:“估计是看出我的心思,医生才这么说的,反正我也喜欢听。” „, That when the time comes is a girl, what to do look at you.” “呵,那到时候是个女孩,看你怎么办。” „That regeneration,” Cindy immediately returns saying that said and worried looked at man: „Eric, can I regenerate one?” “那就再生一个,”辛迪立刻回道,说完又担忧地看了看身旁的男人:“艾瑞克,我可以再生一个吗？” „Naturally, you regenerate two both not to have the issue.” “当然,你再生两个都没问题。” Refreshed of Eric makes Cindy somewhat accidental, the subconsciousness said: „I said your child.” 艾瑞克的爽快让辛迪有些意外,下意识道:“我可是说你的孩子。” Eric put out a hand to pinch on girl fine chin under: „You dare to have others' child, I throw you to the Hudson River.” 艾瑞克伸手在女郎精致的下巴上捏了下:“你敢生别人的孩子,我就把你丢到哈德逊河里。” Cindy realized own speaking incorrectly words, shrank the neck embarrassed, in an instant securely traces oneself lower abdomen, said: „Definitely is the boy, boy grew up has not suffered a loss.” 辛迪意识到自己说错话了,不好意思地缩了缩脖子,转眼又有恃无恐地摸了摸自己小腹,道:“肯定是男孩呢,男孩子长大了不吃亏。” Eric smiles, said: „That side «America's Next Top Model» arranged?” 艾瑞克笑笑,道:“《全美超模大赛》那边安排好了吗？” „Arranged, Franny replaced my work.” “安排好了,芬妮接替我的工作。” „I thought actually she is not quite appropriate.” “我倒是觉得她不太合适。” „Yes,” Cindy nods white Eric: „But you gave others the screen test to cross secretly, what to do can I also?” “是啊,”辛迪点着头白了艾瑞克一眼:“但你都偷偷给人家试镜过了,我还能怎么办？” „You can disguise not to know.” “你可以假装不知道。” „I to your such bastard .
