„That stockholder's rights subscriber contract will not bring anything to trouble to Yahoo actually,” Eric shakes the head, said: „I worried that now the Microsoft following response can affect the Yahoo stock price, even implicates the entire NASDAQ stock market.” “那份股权认购合约倒是不会给雅虎带来什么麻烦,”艾瑞克摇摇头,道:“我现在更担心微软接下来的反应会影响到雅虎股价,甚至牵累整个纳斯达克股市。” Although Eric only said half, Frank Wells is understanding immediately. 艾瑞克虽然只说了一半,弗兰克・威尔斯却是立刻会意。 In the recent several days, NASDAQ index rushed to 4700 top digits, so long as the hi-tech stock market of serious bubble receives some stimulation slightly, possibly initiates crashing of entire NASDAQ stock market. 最近几天,纳斯达克指数已经冲到了4700点高位,严重泡沫化的科技股市场只要稍微受到一些刺激,就可能引发整个纳斯达克股市的崩盘。 The new science company that although Firefly invests has prepared to the bubble burst, but, the clover fund has the hi-tech stock, actually also requires at least two weeks of time to take warehouse inventory. 虽然萤火虫投资旗下的新科技公司都已经对泡沫破裂有所准备,不过,三叶草基金持有科技股,却还需要至少两周时间才能清仓完毕。 According to the current stock price, the total value of this batch of hi-tech stocks surpasses 6 billion USD finally. Even if the clover fund has leveraged the majority of stocks smoothly, Eric does not hope finally this great sum of money absolutely, because NASDAQ ahead of time crashes to evaporate. 按照当前的股价,最后这批科技股的总价值超过60亿美元。即使三叶草基金已经顺利套现了大部分股票,艾瑞克也绝对不希望最后这笔巨款因为纳指的提前崩盘而蒸发掉。 As a result of the Eric strict security, Frank the concrete condition of Wells actually not clear clover fund, but he actually understands that the NASDAQ index supports for a long time, operates to reducing of clover fund is more advantageous. 由于艾瑞克的严格保密措施,弗兰克・威尔斯其实也不清楚三叶草基金的具体状况,但他却明白,纳斯达克指数撑得越久,对三叶草基金的减持操作越有利。 Although same is curious to the operation of clover fund with many people, Frank Wells endures not to open the mouth to inquire, but said: „Since this, Eric, you just definitely do not need to quarrel with Gates, even if perfunctory him to be good some time.” 虽然同很多人一样对三叶草基金的运作非常好奇,弗兰克・威尔斯还是忍着没有开口打听,而是道:“既然这样,艾瑞克,你刚刚完全没必要和盖茨争吵,哪怕敷衍他一段时间都是好的。” „I am this plan,” Eric shrugs, said: „But, the bon voyage of Microsoft these year of development, suffered a loss Yahoo here. Gates depressed estimate at heart accumulated long time, the request that just set has not been satisfied, erupts not to have the matter of means.” “我本来就是这种打算,”艾瑞克耸耸肩,道:“不过,微软这些年发展的一帆风顺,偏偏在雅虎这里吃了大亏。盖茨心里的郁闷估计已经积累了很长时间,刚刚提出的要求又没有得到满足,爆发出来也是没办法的事情。” Frank Wells thinks that said: „I thought that Microsoft should not hope similarly sees NASDAQ to crash, it is estimated that will not make the too intense response.” 弗兰克・威尔斯想了想,道:“我觉得,微软应该同样不希望看到纳指崩盘,估计不会做出太激烈的反应。” The Eric nod approval said: „Gates is a very intelligent person, I just in the spoken language have been giving him Yahoo to hope to continue maintain the feeling of cooperation, he calms down, will not be resigned such fruitlessly on own initiative to give up that stockholder's rights subscriber agreement. Therefore, then definitely can also continue to delay some time.” 艾瑞克点头认可道:“盖茨是一个很聪明的人,我刚刚言语里一直在给他一种雅虎非常希望继续保持合作的感觉,他冷静下来,也不会甘心就这么一无所获地主动放弃那份股权认购协议。所以,接下来肯定还能继续拖延一段时间。” Amy comes to the Eric end another lunch, Frank Wells carried the coffee cup to wait for the moment, waited for Amy to get out of the way, continued saying: „Eric, according to the present trend, you thought where the limit of NASDAQ should be able to arrive at?” 艾米将又一份午餐给艾瑞克端过来,弗兰克・威尔斯端起咖啡杯等待了片刻,等艾米走开,才继续道:“艾瑞克,按照现在的趋势,你觉得纳指的极限应该能到哪里？” „NASDAQ already reached the limit,” Eric takes up the tableware, said: „Now lacks, blasting fuse that but punctures the hi-tech stock bubble.” “纳指早就到极限了,”艾瑞克拿起餐具,道:“现在缺少的,只是一个将科技股泡沫戳破的导火索。” The Eric movement has stopped suddenly under. 这么说完,艾瑞克的动作突然停顿了下。 If Yahoo and Microsoft cannot reach the further cooperation agreement, is actually unable to reach the agreement, then, once both sides separate from each other, Yahoo Browser loses the Windows system to tacitly approve the status of browser, this is a significant advantage is without doubt spatial regarding Yahoo, definitely will stimulate the Yahoo stock price to fall, as the leading stock of new technical sector, the Yahoo stock price falls, is very easy to cause the hi-tech stock overall downward chain-reaction. 如果雅虎与微软不能达成进一步的合作协议,其实也根本无法达成协议,那么,一旦双方分道扬镳,雅虎浏览器失去Windows系统默认浏览器的地位,这对于雅虎来说无疑是一种重大利空,肯定会刺激雅虎股价下跌,作为新科技板块的龙头股,雅虎股价下跌,很容易导致科技股整体下行的连锁反应。 This is Eric today wants one of the avoid as much as possible latent blasting fuses. 这就是艾瑞克今天想要尽可能避免的潜在导火索之一。 In addition, following seven in August, the second quarter wealth report that if the new science company announced one after another presented the large surface area to lose money, this likely becomes will cause another blasting fuse that NASDAQ crashed. 此外,接下来的七八月份,如果新科技公司陆续公布的第二季度财报出现大面积亏损,那么,这很可能会成为导致纳指崩盘的另外一个导火索。 Eric has prepared, Yahoo before July 15, in the majority of new technology corporation announcement in the second quarter the wealth report, has the Yahoo splendid financial data support, the losses of other science companies again do not become that conspicuous. 艾瑞克对此也有所准备,雅虎将在7月15日之前,率先于大部分新科技企业公布第二季度财报,有着雅虎的出色财务数据支撑,其他科技公司的亏损将不会再变得那么显眼。 However, in just, Eric suddenly remembered has possibly caused one of most important blasting fuses NASDAQ crashed, the Microsoft counter- ridge settled a lawsuit. 不过,就在刚刚,艾瑞克突然想起了可能导致纳指崩盘的最重要导火索之一,微软的反垄断案。 The recent two years, United States federation Ministry of Justice has been carrying on the anti- monopoly investigation to Microsoft. 最近两年,美国联邦司法部一直都在对微软进行反垄断调查。 At this time, Ministry of Justice has listed the Microsoft main several big indictments: Sets up the barrier illegally, preventing other competitors to enter the market \; Will purchase the Microsoft window and other Microsoft software links up \; Forces the computer manufacturer to sign the exclusive agreement wait/etc.. 此时,司法部已经罗列了微软主要的几大罪状:非法树立壁垒,阻止其他竞争者进入市场\;将购买微软视窗系统与微软其他软件进行挂钩\;强制电脑厂商签署排他性协议等等。 In recently, Bill a Gates sweetheart Stephanie eon Hull comes, identifies Microsoft through payment ‚reverse monetary reward’ the form suddenly urges the corporate user to exclude other competitors. So-called ‚reverse monetary reward’, the point of pleasant to hear called the sales commission, was coarser, actually bribes. 就在最近,比尔・盖茨的一个情人斯特凡妮・宙赫尔突然现身,指证微软通过支付‘反向赏金’的形式促使企业用户将其他竞争者排除在外。所谓‘反向赏金’,好听一点叫回扣,难听一些,其实就是賄賂。 Moreover, Stephanie reason that eon Hull can stand, unexpectedly is because Gates led her to attend the Microsoft very secret reverse monetary reward conference on own initiative. Although the side has many women similarly, Eric is as far as possible has actually been placed the girls in the vase position that oneself should treat, will never make them contact the core of Firefly system to be secret. 而且,斯特凡妮・宙赫尔之所以能够站出来,竟然是因为盖茨主动带她参加了微软非常机密的反向赏金会议。虽然身边同样有很多女人,艾瑞克却是一直都尽可能地将女孩们摆在自己该待的花瓶位置,从来不会让她们接触到萤火虫体系的核心机密。 Therefore, hears the news, Eric really does not know that this appraisal front door schoolmate was arrogant or stupid. The recent North America media also therefore once more pull out Clinton with Gates compound, teases they plant together on the sweetheart ‚two bad luck Bill’. 因此,听到消息,艾瑞克实在是不知道该评价大门同学是自大还是愚蠢了。最近的北美媒体也因此再次将克林頓拉出与盖茨并列,调侃他们是一起栽在情人身上的‘两个倒霉比尔’。 Stephanie eon Hull's driving identifying, lets Ministry of Justice without doubt to Microsoft the investigation forged ahead very big one step. 斯特凡妮・宙赫尔的主动指证,无疑让司法部对微软的的调查向前迈进了很大一步。 Such reorganizes the memory in mind, Eric is recalling gradually. 这么整理着脑海中的记忆,艾瑞克逐渐回忆起来。 One of most essential blasting fuses in the original space and time NASDAQ crashes, is one is responsible for the Microsoft counter- ridge settling a lawsuit trying federal court judge Thomas Jackson at the critical moment that this case refuses to compromise, suddenly announced to the outside had the key evidence of Microsoft monopoly, will be quick to Microsoft makes adjudicates finally. 原时空中纳指崩盘的最关键导火索之一,便是一位负责微软反垄断案审理的联邦法官托马斯・杰克逊在这起案件僵持的关键时刻,突然对外宣布掌握了微软垄断的关键证据,将很快对微软做出最终裁决。 Therefore, broke through 5000 points sensitive moments in the NASDAQ index at that time, Thomas the statement of Jackson becomes last straw that crashes the camel. 于是,在当时纳斯达克指数已经突破了5000点的敏感时刻,托马斯・杰克逊的声明成为压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草。 After Thomas the statement of Jackson, the Microsoft stock price lowers immediately, then initiates the whole of NASDAQ stock market to crash. As then, the annual financial statements of new technology corporation a series of huge loss announced one after another that the NASDAQ index continues to fall in following one year, even once fell 1000 low positions. 在托马斯・杰克逊的声明之后,微软股价立刻下挫,进而引发纳斯达克股市的整体崩盘。而后,随着新科技企业一连串巨额亏损的年度财务报告陆续公布,纳斯达克指数在接下来的一年里持续下跌,甚至一度跌回1000点低位。 Adverse impact that because has to the entire NASDAQ market, Thomas Jackson was removed the duty afterward, the federal government considered for the general situation that finally announced achieves the reconciliation with Microsoft, cancelled the anti- monopoly investigation, Microsoft therefore has also evaded the analyzed destiny. 由于对整个纳斯达克市场造成的恶劣影响,托马斯・杰克逊随后被解除职务,联邦政府为了大局考虑,最终宣布与微软达成和解,取消反垄断调查,微软也因此躲过了被拆分的命运。 At this time, is in the bureau, Eric has increasingly realized many fishy. 此时,身在局中,艾瑞克逐渐意识到了其中的很多蹊跷。 Thomas Jackson clearly knows that violates the judicial process even possibly to terminate own entire career, the media told the inside story that as before very much suddenly the Microsoft counter- ridge settles a lawsuit, the Microsoft stock price starts to fall, then causes the NASDAQ index the whole to crash. 托马斯・杰克逊明知道违反司法程序甚至可能终止自己的整个职业生涯,却依旧很突然地向媒体透露微软反垄断案的内情,紧接着,微软股价就开始下跌,进而导致纳斯达克指数的整体崩盘。 This matter looks like accidental, but appeared too the coincidence. 这件事看起来偶然,但又显得太巧合了一些。 Must know, even if the federal court makes to analyze the ruling of Microsoft, Microsoft can appeal as before. 要知道,哪怕联邦法院做出拆分微软的判决,微软依旧是可以上诉的。 Therefore, wants to destroy the entire NASDAQ index, in Thomas Jackson announced when Microsoft advantage spatial news, definitely also needs the massive stocks to throw coordinates to suppress the Microsoft stock price only, this can serve the ultimate purpose. 因此,想要摧毁整个纳斯达克指数,在托马斯・杰克逊公布微软的利空消息时,肯定还需要大量的股票抛单配合打压微软股价,这样才能达到最终目的。 Now, along with NASDAQ index close 5000 top digits, although looked that fades the investors of NASDAQ to start to change buys up the hi-tech stock, but also has makes the spatial fund to enter the arena continually, attempts after NASDAQ crashes gains the sudden and huge profits. 现在,随着纳斯达克指数接近5000点高位,虽然很多原本看衰纳指的投资人都开始转向买进科技股,但同时也有更多做空基金持续进场,试图在纳指崩盘之后获取暴利。 According to the capital by the natural disposition of advantage, facing the number that can anticipate by the 10 billion USD huge profit, lets on own initiative the behavior that many people make some to destroy the NASDAQ index sufficiently. 按照资本逐利的本性,面对可以预期的数以百亿美元巨额利润,足以让很多人做出一些主动摧毁纳斯达克指数的行为。 Such manages, Stephanie eon Hull's appearance, is similar to Lewinsky scandal such, event that obviously accidentally does not have. 这么理下来,斯特凡妮・宙赫尔的现身,如同莱温斯基丑闻那样,显然不是偶然发生的事件。 After all, even if did not have any friendship, but a commis must jump to identify oneself once Boss, without any promotes or benefit obligation secretly, the average person is very difficult to make this possibility to affect the lifetime choice. 毕竟,即使相互之间已经没有了任何情义,但一个小职员要跳出来指证自己曾经的老板,在没有任何幕后推动或者利益驱使的情况下,一般人很难做出这种可能影响到自己一生的抉择。 Stephanie eon Hull's identifying, truly made the Microsoft stock price present one wave to fall, has not actually initiated the result that certain people wanted. 斯特凡妮・宙赫尔的指证,确实让微软的股价出现了一波下跌,却并没有引发某些人想要的结果。 Then, then? 那么,接下来呢？ Is calculating at heart fast, has the lunch careless, Eric has then telephoned to Kelly Haynes, making her reorganize the related information that the Microsoft counter- ridge settles a lawsuit and catches up with the Firefly cinema city as soon as possible. 心里快速盘算着,漫不经心地吃过午餐,艾瑞克便打电话给凯莉・海恩斯,让她整理一下微软反垄断案的相关资料并尽快赶来萤火虫影城这边。 After several hours, Eric with «Gravity» dubbing in music master John Williams discussed that the dubbing in music adjustment details of some movie scene, the work room door was knocked knocking, a Kelly probe head of light grey career suit comes, greeted to Eric in a soft voice. 几个小时后,艾瑞克正与《地心引力》的配乐师约翰・威廉姆斯讨论影片一些镜头的配乐调整细节,工作室房门被敲了敲,一身浅灰色职业套装的凯莉探头进来,轻声向艾瑞克打了声招呼。 The Eric nod responded, also with John Williams discussed the moment, goes out of the work room. 艾瑞克点头回应了下,又和约翰・威廉姆斯讨论了片刻,才走出工作室。 Just went out, sits Kelly on outside sofa then sets out, handed in a folder the Eric hand, said: „Eric, the time is somewhat hasty, don't I know these enough?” 刚刚出门,坐在外间沙发上的凯莉便起身走过来,将一个文件夹递到艾瑞克手中,道:“艾瑞克,时间有些仓促,我不知道这些够不够？” Eric the folder in the hand, said: „Goes to my office to discuss.” 艾瑞克将文件夹拿在手中,道:“去我办公室谈吧。” Kelly nods, leaves later the production center with Eric together, arrives at him in the office in administrative area. 凯莉点点头,跟着艾瑞克一起离开后期制作中心,来到他在行政区的办公室。 Enters the office, Eric hints Kelly to be optional, then after arriving at the desk sits down, opens the material in hand. 走进办公室,艾瑞克示意凯莉随意,便来到办公桌后坐下,翻开手中的资料。 Kelly does not care about Eric the optional manner, on the contrary, instead somewhat likes at heart, she knows Eric, only will then display to own side most intimate person so. 凯莉也不在意艾瑞克的这种随意态度,相反,心里反而有些喜欢,她知道艾瑞克只有对自己身边最亲近的人才会表现如此。 After initial number evening was happy, in recent years, among them was maintaining very specially affectionate relations. Moreover, as a result of once the shadow of marriage to oneself, Kelly again had not looked for the thoughts of any companion, unknowingly pins some mood on at present this man throughout. 当初的数夕欢愉之后,这些年来,两人之间一直保持着一种很是特别的亲昵关系。而且,由于对自己曾经婚姻的阴影,凯莉也没有再找任何伴侣的心思,不知不觉地始终将一些情绪寄托在了眼前这个男人身上。 Made pot coffee to come softly, placed side one coffee expression dedicated Eric quietly, Kelly sat down in the desk opposite, was sizing up the Eric reading material peacefully. 轻手轻脚地冲了一壶咖啡过来,将一杯咖啡悄然放在神情专注的艾瑞克身边,凯莉才在办公桌对面坐下,安静地打量着艾瑞克阅读资料。 Kelly the acquired material are not many in a short time, sufficiently makes Eric obtain all the information of wish. 凯莉短时间内收集到的资料并不多,却也足以让艾瑞克得到所有想要的信息。 The history has not occurred too significantly changes, is responsible the judge who tries the Microsoft counter- ridge to settle a lawsuit as before is Thomas Jackson, the opposite party is a qualifications very old federal court judge . Moreover, the material from the hand, the opposite party cannot be analyzes the Microsoft hardliner firmly. 历史并没有发生太大改变,负责审理微软反垄断案的法官依旧是托马斯・杰克逊,对方是一个资格很老的联邦法官,而且,从手中资料来看,对方也不能算是一个坚定拆分微软的强硬派。 Then, these information have proven guess of Eric without doubt once more. 那么,这些信息无疑再次证明了艾瑞克的一些猜测。 The last page of materials will turn, Eric gains ground, notes Kelly to stare at own look exactly, therefore says with a smile: „I and graceful?” 将最后一页资料翻完,艾瑞克抬起头,恰好注意到凯莉凝望自己的眼神,于是笑道:“我是不是又帅了？” Peeps the present little man to be caught, Kelly complexion micro red, said: „I thought that you definitely forgot to shave for these days.” 偷看眼前的小男人被抓到,凯莉脸色微红,道:“我只是觉得,你这几天肯定忘记刮胡子了。” Eric traces one to prick the hand the chin of stubble truly many, said with a smile: „Does not have the means that the life of bachelor so is always miserable, you do not manage me.” 艾瑞克摸了摸确实多了一层扎手胡茬的下巴,笑道:“没办法啊,单身汉的生活总是这么凄凉,你们都不管我。” „Where wheel obtains me,” Kelly gently white Eric, said: „Eric, what do you want these materials to make suddenly?” “哪里轮得到我呢,”凯莉轻轻白了艾瑞克一眼,才道:“艾瑞克,你突然要这些资料做什么？” Eric Thomas the Jackson material selects to give Kelly, said: „You noted recently Stephanie eon Hull's matter?” 艾瑞克把托马斯・杰克逊的资料挑出来递给凯莉,道:“你注意到最近斯特凡妮・宙赫尔的事情吗？” „Knows that I thought this matter should be similar to Lewinsky incident,” Kelly received several pages of materials that Eric hands over, said that and glances, in the expression brings to tease and expostulate saying: „Therefore, Eric, you usually are best carefully.” “知道啊,我觉得这件事应该和莱温斯基事件差不多,”凯莉接过艾瑞克递过来的几页资料,说完又瞟过来,语气里带着调侃和劝诫道:“所以,艾瑞克,你平日里最好小心一点。” „Naturally, I am will definitely not make Gates that foolish matter.” “当然,我是肯定不会做出盖茨那种蠢事的。” „Who knows that your men,” Kelly also said the sentence, raised hand the material, changes over to the subject saying: „What issue does this person have?” “谁知道呢,你们男人,”凯莉又这么说了句,就扬了扬手中的资料,转入正题道:“这个人有什么问题吗？” „I do not know that” Eric shakes the head, said: „This is also the reason that I ask you to come, I think that this person does have the issue , can he have problems.” “我不知道,”艾瑞克摇摇头,道:“这也是我找你过来的原因,我想查查这个人有没有问题,或者,他会不会出问题。” Kelly realized that the Eric intention, actually somewhat confuses: „Eric, I have been paying attention to Ministry of Justice and SEC possibly to the investigation that the Firefly system has, temporarily does not have any special condition. The Microsoft case, don't we as if need to meddle?” 凯莉意识到艾瑞克的意图,却有些迷惑:“艾瑞克,我一直关注着司法部和SEC可能对萤火虫体系产生的调查,暂时没有什么特别的状况。微软的案子,我们似乎没有必要插手吧？” „We will certainly not meddle the Microsoft case,” the Eric nod said: „I was worried that Thomas Jackson becomes will have a Stephanie eon Hull. You imagine, if in recent sensitive period, Thomas Jackson issued suddenly to the Microsoft disadvantageous opinion, in addition certain people the coordination in secret, what result will cause?” “我们当然不会插手微软的案子,”艾瑞克点头道:“我只是担心,托马斯・杰克逊会成为有一个斯特凡妮・宙赫尔。你想像一下,如果在最近的这段敏感时期,托马斯・杰克逊突然发布一些对微软不利的言论,再加上某些人的暗中配合,会导致什么样的结果？” The Kelly train of thought transferred the revolutions, blurted out: „Does NASDAQ crash?” 凯莉思绪转了转,脱口而出道:“纳指崩盘？” „Right, these people Stephanie eon Hull pushes, has not served own purpose, definitely once more will get rid, I thought that this breakthrough point, definitely in the Microsoft counter- ridge settles a lawsuit on, Thomas Jackson exactly is key man.” Eric explained that no longer covered up, spoke frankly: „Therefore, I hope that you can arrange, to Thomas Jackson carries on the comprehensive monitoring, if can attain some useful things, not only can prevent NASDAQ to crash prematurely, infringes the benefit of Firefly system, in our hands can also with the chip that Microsoft negotiated, I hope that Yahoo Browser can continue maintains the Windows default browser status.” “没错,那些人把斯特凡妮・宙赫尔推出来,没有达到自己的目的,肯定会再次出手的,我觉得,这个突破点,肯定还是在微软反垄断案上,托马斯・杰克逊恰好是这其中的关键人物。”艾瑞克解释完,就不再遮掩,直言道:“所以,我希望你能安排一下,对托马斯・杰克逊进行全面的监控,如果能够拿到一些有用的东西,不但可以阻止纳指过早崩盘,损害到萤火虫体系的利益,我们手中也能多出一个与微软谈判的筹码,我还是希望雅虎浏览器能够继续保持Windows默认浏览器地位的。” „Eric, carries on the monitoring to this kind of government official is very sensitive, wants to achieve absolutely safe, at least requires one week of setup time. According to your view, we possibly already not that long time.” “艾瑞克,对这样一位政府官员进行监控是非常敏感的,想要做到万无一失,至少需要一个星期的准备时间。按照你的说法,我们可能已经没有那么长的时间了。” Eric felt that in the Kelly words has the words, said: „Therefore?” 艾瑞克感觉到凯莉话中有话,道:“所以呢？” Kelly said: „Klein Will had bought recently just a number of monitor and counter- audiomonitor, you should look at the purchase list. Therefore, if you enough trust him, this matter regarding him, should be a very simple work.” 凯莉道:“克伦威尔最近刚刚购入了一批监听和反监听设备,你应该看过采购列表的。所以,如果你对他足够信任的话,这件事对于他来说,应该是一件很简单的工作。”
