After the raging fire boils oil last week is crazy, since weekend, North America many mainstream media in view of NASDAQ market with starts to have the obvious transformation by the wind direction, questioned that the bubble of new tech industry has fully been the degree of out-of-control. 烈火烹油般地最后一周疯狂之后,进入周末,北美多家主流媒体针对纳斯达克市场的與论风向开始发生明显转变,纷纷质疑新科技产业的泡沫已经完全达到了失控的程度。 In the media a series of discussion focal points, naturally is the Eric latest statistics is 625 billion USD credibility responsibly. 媒体一连串的议论焦点中,首当其冲地自然是艾瑞克最新统计达到6250亿美元的个人资产。 What concept 625 billion are USD? 6250亿美元是什么概念？ In 1998 national wealth resultant statistics, was situated the 27 th Denmark, as one of the Europe developed countries, national wealth resultant also just over 600 billion USD. 1998年的国民财富总值统计数据中,排行第27名的丹麦,作为欧洲发达国家之一,国民财富总值也才刚刚超过6000亿美元。 This means that a property of Eric person, has been equal before global is situated the people's wealth resultant of 30 famous country. 这意味着,艾瑞克一个人的资产,就已经相当于一个全球排行前三十名国家的全民财富总值。 Moreover, if will count the range to expand to the entire Firefly system, breaks through 5000 points most peak market value computations after Friday NASDAQ, the property overall scale of Firefly system owning stocks enterprise has achieved 10,000 850 billion USD, can in the national wealth resultant list depend upon 10,000 795 billion USD national wealth to be situated exactly eighth Canada to push 1998. 而且,如果将统计范围扩大到整个萤火虫体系,按照周五纳指突破5000点之后的最巅峰市值计算,萤火虫体系持股企业的资产总规模已经达到100008500亿美元,恰好可以将1998年国民财富总值榜单中依靠100007950亿美元国民财富排行第八名的加拿大挤下去。 What is worth mentioning is, above Canada, is US-Japan UK , France these is then controlling the world economy super powerful nation. 值得一提的是,加拿大之上,便是美日英法这些控制着世界经济的超级强国。 Therefore, although likes attracting the ordinary media of audience eyeball to use various exaggerating majority of the titles to hype the Eric individual wealth the latest record. 于是,虽然大部分喜欢吸引观众眼球的普通媒体都在用各种夸张的标题炒作艾瑞克个人财富的最新记录。 However, some specialized financial publications, such as Wall Street well-known «Finance Weekly», in carries on after various entire Firefly system enterprises combs, pungently appraises the Eric credibility ‚is similar to a cylinder cannot withstand any soap bubble of deliberation’. 不过,一些专业的财经刊物,诸如华尔街知名的《金融周刊》在对整个萤火虫体系各家企业进行梳理之后,非常辛辣地评价艾瑞克个人资产‘如同一缸经不起任何推敲的肥皂泡’。 《The New York Times》 also writes to express that credibility bubble degree of Eric outside Hollywood surpasses 70%. 《纽约时报》也撰文表示艾瑞克在好莱坞以外的个人资产泡沫程度超过70%。 Pays close attention to the NASDAQ market trend at the same time, Eric has carried out thoroughly finally the «Gravity» later period. Touches previous the day that in NASDAQ top, Eric then flies to Boston to attend the Yahoo high-level meeting, again carries on ahead of time the layout to the forthcoming storm. 密切关注纳斯达克市场动向的同时,艾瑞克终于彻底完成了《地心引力》的后期。在纳指触顶的前一天,艾瑞克便飞往波士顿参加雅虎高层会议,再一次对即将到来的暴风骤雨进行提前布局。 In fact, since went on the market to start at the end of last year, the Yahoo expansion step tends to be conservative under the suppression of Eric. 实际上,自从去年年底上市开始,雅虎的扩张步伐就在艾瑞克的压制下趋于保守。 In the half year time, because the earning figure dramatically increases, initially IPO obtained about 5 700 million USD funds, at this time also surplus 5 100 million USD. In the entire Internet industry running horse stable expansion service as first first, Yahoo in the half year the conservative operational strategy more than once receives the accusation of Wall Street radical investor. 这半年时间,由于本身的营收数字大幅增加,当初IPO获得的将近57亿美元资金,此时还剩余51亿美元。在整个互联网产业都将跑马圈地扩张业务作为第一优先时,雅虎这半年来的保守经营策略不止一次地受到华尔街激进投资者的指责。 But now, Internet bubble, although will soon burst, but the development of entire Internet industry will actually not stagnate. Even, in situation that the competition reduces, in the next few years truly will suit the Internet industry running horse stable place the best opportunity. 但现在,互联网泡沫虽然即将破裂,但整个互联网产业的发展却不会停滞。甚至,在竞争减少的情况下,未来几年才是真正适合互联网产业跑马圈地的最好时机。 The cash reserves of over 5 billion USD, enough Yahoo as before maintains the expansion step in the Internet capital cold winter in big strides. 超过50亿美元的现金储备,足够雅虎在互联网资本寒冬中依旧保持大踏步的扩张步伐。 On July 17, ended the Yahoo high-level meeting, Eric had not returned to Los Angeles, but has flown New York, plans to witness the magnificent moment that next week NASDAQ will crash with own eyes. 7月17日,结束了雅虎的高层会议,艾瑞克没有返回洛杉矶,而是飞到了纽约,打算亲眼见证下周纳指崩盘的壮观一刻。 in city, Cindy and Linda Production Studio. 中城区,辛迪和琳达的制作公司。 Although is in the weekend, today has actually arranged an interview. 虽然是周末,今天却安排了一场面试。 Previous time came New York, Cindy saying that for in kid by own abdomen in the future like Hawaii intelligent, planned that asked several assistants to study every day to her listens. Looked for carefully for one month, Eric catches up exactly, then draws him to enter this last interview. 上次来纽约,辛迪就说为了让自己腹中的小家伙将来像夏威夷那样聪明,打算找几个助理每天念书给她听。精心物色了一个多月,恰好艾瑞克赶来,便拉他参加这最后一场面试。 Said is the assistant, in fact is actually more like the maid. However, Cindy choice actually the world major first-class well-known colleges and universities from the master above outstanding student who graduate . Moreover, to let the kid will grow up in a multilingual environment in the future, the candidate basically needs a good command of over three languages. 说是助理,实际上却更像是保姆。不过,辛迪挑选的却都是来自世界各大一流名校毕业的硕士以上高材生,而且,为了让小家伙将来在一种多语种的环境中长大,候选人基本上需要掌握三门以上的语言。 At this time, Eric reads in the hand finally these more than ten may be called the magnificent resume of super study tyrant rank, cannot bear said to Cindy: „Such intelligent one group of people, were my assistant to be enough, after you determined to look , could you suppress?” 此时,艾瑞克翻看着手中最后这十多份堪称超级学霸级别的辉煌简历,忍不住对身旁的辛迪道:“这么聪明的一群人,做我的助理都足够了,你确定找来之后你压得住吗？” The Eric voice just fell, runs the Linda then expression acid that joins in the fun saying: „Yes, moreover so is attractive, was careful that they will be stepping on your superior in the future.” 艾瑞克话音刚落,跟着跑来凑热闹的琳达便语气酸酸道:“是啊,而且还都这么漂亮,小心她们将来踩着你上位。” Eric hears the Linda words, turned several to start the resume, discovered that although was only the simple credential photo, the crowd of outstanding student appearances that but Cindy chose obviously above standard, several also quite conformed to the Eric aesthetic standard. 艾瑞克听到琳达的话,又翻了几下手中的简历,才发现虽然只是简单的证件照,但辛迪挑选出来的这群高材生外貌明显都在水准之上,有几个还颇为符合艾瑞克审美观。 Noted the Eric slightly surprised expression, Cindy white his eyes, said: „If asks several ugly girls to place side , if the accident sentiment, I do not have the face. Cannot defend in any case, might as well looks for several attractively.” 注意到艾瑞克略显惊讶的表情,辛迪白了他一眼,道:“如果真的找几个丑女放在身边,万一出了什么事情,那我岂不是更没面子。反正都防不住,还不如找几个漂亮的。” Eric is more accidental, says with a smile: „When you came to understand that was so high?” 艾瑞克更加意外,笑道:“你什么时候觉悟这么高了？” „Virginia urged my,” Cindy actually gave one to let the answer of Eric accident, was saying also continued saying: „You have not discovered the maid and Kevin in Eath Hampton manor tutors very attractive?” “维吉尼娅叮嘱我的,”辛迪却给出了一个让艾瑞克意外的答案,说着还继续道:“你难道没有发现东汉普顿庄园的女佣和凯文的家庭教师都挺漂亮的吗？” Eric recalled, has to acknowledge: „Probably, truly is this. It seems like I must praise Vicky well.” 艾瑞克回忆了一下,不得不承认道:“好像,确实是这样。看来我要好好表扬一下维姬。” Cindy reorganized front material, told that the outside secretary prepares to start to interview, in a tone with ridicules said to Eric: „I discovered that Virginia in this aspect is very intelligent. Your man thoughts of sometimes are that strange, side one group of pretty women place, often will not care, instead will settle on these ugly women. Like Mr. President, obviously can find on ten times of women, actually must make do with appearance even some interns of putting on weight mediocrely, Schwarzenegger, I even think that does not understand why he can have the interest to a that ugly maid, actually also caused an illegitimate child.” 辛迪将面前的资料重新整理了一遍,吩咐外间的秘书准备开始面试,才又语带揶揄地对艾瑞克道:“我发现维吉尼娅在这方面可是很聪明呢。你们男人有时候的心思就是那么古怪,一群漂亮女人放在身边,往往不会太在意,反而会看中那些丑女人。就像总统先生,明明可以找到好上十倍的女人,却非要和一个外貌平庸甚至有些发胖的实习生乱搞,还有施瓦辛格,我甚至都想不明白他为何能够对那么丑的一个女佣产生兴趣,竟然还弄出了一个私生子。” Clinton's zipper gate scandal makes noisily, but the Schwarzenegger illegitimate child scandal actually has not been brought to light now, but, this matter in the circle is actually not the secret. 克林頓的拉链门丑闻闹得沸沸扬扬,但施瓦辛格的私生子丑闻现在却还没有曝光,不过,这件事在圈子里却不是什么秘密。 Linda just also aimed at Cindy, at this time very much has not actually set up the location treachery saying: „It is said this is the seeking novelty psychology of man.” 琳达刚刚还针对辛迪,此时却是很没立场地倒戈道:“据说这是男人的猎奇心理。” Eric has lifted under right hand reluctantly, said: „I pledged to God that I absolutely do not have that psychology.” 艾瑞克无奈地举了下右手,道:“我对上帝发誓,我绝对没有那种心理。” The outside secretary has let on first interview, Cindy glanced Eric one finally, has not said anything again, started the official interview. 外间的秘书就第一个面试者让了进来,辛迪最后瞟了艾瑞克一眼,没有再说什么,开始了正式的面试。 As the Harvard, Yale, Cambridge and other world first-class university of the outstanding students, these girl not deficient employment opportunities of today entering the interview, therefore they basically are only the wage of far ultra average standard because Cindy starts out was attracted. 作为哈佛、耶鲁、剑桥等世界一流高校的高材生,今天参加面试的这些女孩并不缺乏就业机会,因此她们基本上都只是因为辛迪开出的远超平均水准的薪水才被吸引而来。 However, when saw that Eric Williams sits behind the desk, the majority of girls are obvious the look one brightly, the girl who some innermost feelings could not have a liking for this work proud also hits 12 spirit, in unusual earnest, bolder will chitchat with Eric that in the interview process displays on own initiative. 不过,当看到艾瑞克・威廉姆斯坐在办公桌后面,大部分女孩都明显眼神一亮,一些内心骄傲原本并不是太看得上这份工作的女孩也都打起12分精神,在面试过程中表现的异常认真,还有更加大胆的会主动与艾瑞克进行攀谈。 Less than 20 people of interviews have been conducted entire the day. 不到20人的面试进行了整整一天。 In the evening returns to Cindy in the apartments of 75 streets, has the supper, Eric holds the notebook to sit in the living room inspects the daytime email, Cindy and Linda is discussing in side as in a low voice. 傍晚回到辛迪在75街的公寓,吃过晚餐,艾瑞克捧着笔记本电脑坐在客厅里检查白天的电子邮件,辛迪和琳达依旧在旁边低声商议着。 After the moment, Cindy takes a resume to come, said: „Eric, this, Kathryn does Neumann, you think what kind of?” 片刻后,辛迪拿过一份简历过来,道:“艾瑞克,这个,凯瑟琳・诺依曼,你觉得怎么样？” Eric has swept eye that resume, recalls some blond standard Germany girl's appearance that the daytime sees, said: „Is very good, germanism is more rigorous exquisitely, you select first, selects several, selected me to select again.” 艾瑞克扫了眼那份简历,回忆起白天看到的某个金发碧眼标准德国女孩的模样,道:“很不错啊,德国人性格更加严谨细腻,你们先挑吧,多挑几个,挑完了我再挑。” Cindy has not opened the mouth, Linda has actually misunderstood the Eric words, said: „Can you also select?” 辛迪还没有开口,琳达却误会了艾瑞克的话,道:“你也要挑？” Eric opens another from Jeff Beizuosi email, explained: „I meant that makes the person carry on the background examination to these girls, has the criminal record, to have the psychological disease, to have the drug dependency and interpersonal circle to have the hidden danger and so on, you do not think that what person is casual to appear side my child? Therefore, I will make the person investigate since their elementary school time.” 艾瑞克打开又一份来自杰夫・贝佐斯的电子邮件,解释道:“我是说让人对这些女孩重新进行背景审查,有没有犯罪纪录、是否存在心理疾病、有没有药瘾、人际圈子是否存在隐患之类,你们俩不会以为随便什么人都出现在我的孩子身边吧？所以,我会让人从她们小学时代开始排查的。” Cindy has not thought that many obviously, but actually immediately agreed the Eric words, receive all resumes in hand, said: „This, Eric, you first make the person examine, after completing, I select again, if after selecting, has problems that is very definitely troublesome again.” 辛迪显然没有想那么多,不过却是立刻同意了艾瑞克的话,将手中的所有简历都收起来,道:“这样的话,艾瑞克,你还是先让人去审查吧,完成之后我再挑,要是挑完之后再出问题那肯定很麻烦的。” „This is also good, I will make the person manage tomorrow, you make them wait again for one month,” was saying, Eric thinks, said: „Moreover, matter about examination, you disclosed to them on own initiative, avoided producing anything to misunderstand. As the compensation, their yearly salaries enhanced one time to be good again.” “这样也行,我明天就让人去办,你让她们再等一个月吧,”这么说着,艾瑞克想了想,又道:“另外,关于审查的事,你主动向她们透露一下,避免产生什么误会。作为补偿,她们的年薪再提高一倍好了。” Linda is flabbergasted to say in side: „Enhanced one time is 500,000 USD, I wanted this to work.” 琳达在旁边咋舌道:“提高一倍就是50万美金了啊,我都想要这份工作了。” Majority of global 500 enterprises enjoy the management of USD yearly salary to have the personal history of top well-known colleges and universities surely, this gives people inevitably a well-known colleges and universities graduate wage very high misconception. But in fact is not true, this crowd climbs up the person to work place Pyramid most peak only to be luckiest one batch, every year tens of thousands of well-known colleges and universities graduates, the road of final work place also achieves yearly salary 100,000 or the 200,000 USD wealthy middle class level. 大部分世界500强企业享受着千万美元年薪的高管都有着顶级名校的履历,这不可避免地给人一种名校毕业生薪水都很高的错觉。但实际上并非如此,这群攀爬到职场金字塔最顶端的人只能算是最幸运的一批,每年成千上万的名校毕业生,最终的职场之路也只是达到年薪10万或20万美元的富裕中产阶级水平。 Moreover, the female is in the work place to have the natural inferiority compared with the male. The 500,000 USD yearly salary, regarding the majority of work place female, is absolutely unattainable. 而且,女性在职场中比男性有着天然劣势。50万美元的年薪,对于大部分职场女性来说,绝对是可望而不可即的。 Eric looks at the surprised expression that in the Cindy eye also shows, said: „People always said that money is not multipurpose, but I thought that money is really multipurpose. Gives them a higher wage, guarantees their loyalty in the maximum degree sufficiently. Once because they want to handle any not suitable matter, will unable to bear the imagination lose the consequence of this work. Then, loses a work of 500,000 USD yearly salary with losing a work of 250,000 USD yearly salary, the feeling is absolutely different.” 艾瑞克看着辛迪眼中也露出的惊讶表情,道:“人们总是说金钱不是万能的,但我觉得金钱真的就是万能的。给她们更高的薪水,足以在最大程度上保证她们的忠诚。因为一旦她们想要做什么不适宜的事情,就会忍不住想象失去这份工作的后果。然后,失去一份50万美元年薪的工作和失去一份25万美元年薪的工作,感觉是绝对不一样。” Cindy sits side Eric, approval nods, bends the corners of the mouth suddenly, looks at man saying: „Do you such control our?” 辛迪坐在艾瑞克身边,认可地点点头,又突然弯起嘴角,望着身旁男人道:“你就是这么控制我们的吗？” „I have not controlled you,” Eric also smiles, puts out a hand to trace on the Cindy fine cheek, said: „I hold you.” “我才没有控制你们,”艾瑞克也笑着,伸手在辛迪精致的脸蛋上摸了摸,道:“我是占有你们。” Linda looks at Eric and Cindy ‚interaction’, cannot bear and starts to be jealous, since Cindy is pregnant, after her belly does not have any sound, these days Linda mood some do not suit obviously, at this time cannot bear say: „You started.” 琳达看着艾瑞克与辛迪的‘互动’,忍不住又开始吃醋,自从辛迪怀孕,她的肚子却没有任何动静之后,这段时间琳达的情绪明显就有些不对劲,此时忍不住道:“你们俩又开始了。” The Eric fingertip has delimited the Cindy exquisite nape of the neck, receives to reach behind the back, looks to other one side Linda, said: „Therefore, Cindy said that you bought the stock, how many have bought?” 艾瑞克指尖划过辛迪细腻的脖颈,收回手,看向另外一边的琳达,道:“所以,辛迪说你又买股票了,到底买了多少？” „I did not tell you,” Linda somewhat afraid shrank shrinking toward the sofa on immediately, after initial that Yahoo stock leveraged, Eric repeatedly urged two women do not step in the hi-tech stock market again greedily, Cindy is obedient actually very much, Linda cannot bear the enticement that the hi-tech stock stock brought obviously. At this time, facing the Eric vision, the girl endured patiently the moment, is the driving Tanzania moon's orbit: „I threw 50 million USD to go, was the stocks of Firefly system, Yahoo, Cisco, Amazon, Qualcomm, rose to 8 6 million USD now, I, I and other sum of money Fan one time, discards immediately and ensure no longer bought.” “我才不告诉你,”琳达顿时有些心虚地朝沙发上缩了缩,当初的那笔雅虎股票套现之后,艾瑞克就一再叮嘱两个女人不要再贪心涉足科技股市场,辛迪倒是很听话,琳达显然没能忍住科技股股票带来的誘惑。此时,面对艾瑞克的目光,女郎忍耐了片刻,还是主动坦白道:“我又投了5000万美元进去,都是萤火虫体系的股票啊,雅虎,思科,亚马逊,还有高通,现在已经涨到8600万美元了,我,我等这笔钱翻一倍,立刻就抛掉,保证不再买了。” „Un, you just wait,” Eric reluctantly nod, this silly woman has not thrown finally completely all capital. “嗯,那你就等着吧,”艾瑞克无奈地点点头,这傻女人总算是没有把所有资本全部都投进去。 Cindy truly sees Eric expression difference, she too did not pay attention to the trend of NASDAQ stock market these days, but, the side all person recent topics of cannot leave the hi-tech stock, Cindy wants to avoid being impossible. 辛迪确实看出艾瑞克表情的异样,她这段时间已经不是太关注纳斯达克股市的动向,不过,身边所有人最近的话题都离不开科技股,辛迪就算是想避开也不可能。 Remembers NASDAQ to break through 5000 points news on Friday, Cindy said: „Eric, that does, need problems?” 想起周五纳指突破5000点的新闻,辛迪道:“艾瑞克,那个,是不是要出问题了？” Eric is operating the notebook in hand, opens the financial news main page demonstration of Yahoo to Cindy, Linda sees Eric not to tidy up own meaning, has collected. 艾瑞克操作着手中的笔记本电脑,打开雅虎的财经新闻主页展示给身旁的辛迪,琳达见艾瑞克没有收拾自己的意思,也凑了过来。 Looks several that on the notebook screen Eric is selecting specially to look to fade the news of NASDAQ, Linda cannot bear say: „This, they were not have said recently that also has not seen NASDAQ to crash, my stock manager said that NASDAQ will possibly achieve 6000 top digits, now also early.” 望着笔记本电脑屏幕上艾瑞克特意点开的几条看衰纳指的新闻,琳达忍不住道:“这个,最近一段时间,他们不是一直都这么说吗,也没有见纳指崩盘,我的股票经纪人说,纳指很可能会达到6000点高位呢,现在还早。” Eric has not opened the mouth, Cindy teaches said: „Stock manager to gain your commission, what words could certainly say, 6000 points, do you think the possibility?” 艾瑞克没有开口,辛迪就教训道:“股票经纪人为了赚你的佣金,当然什么话都说得出来,6000点,你自己觉得可能吗？” „Many people thought that 5000 points are impossible, now hasn't achieved?” “很多人都觉得5000点也不可能啊,现在还不是达到了？” Eric is listening to the words of two women, was disinclined to say anything, closed the notebook saying that the body shouldered nearby Linda, said: „I thought that there is a necessity to tidy up your again.” 艾瑞克听着两个女人的话,也懒得多说什么,合上笔记本道,身上将旁边的琳达扛起来,道:“我觉得,还是有必要再收拾你一顿。” „, Eric, I do not dare, do not hit me.” “啊,艾瑞克,我再也不敢了,不要打我啊。” The Linda body hangingly, was screaming suddenly as if for real, was shouldered the bedroom to lose by Eric quickly on the bed. 琳达身子突然悬空,半真半假地尖叫着,很快被艾瑞克扛进卧室丢在了大床上。 Next morning, the weather just shone, the Eric cell phone has made a sound. 第二天一大早,天色刚刚亮起,艾瑞克的手机就响了起来。 Opened looked at the eye, was actually the Chris round a short note, making him inspect own electronic mail immediately. 打开看了眼,却是克里斯发过来的一条短信,让他立刻检查自己的电子邮箱。 Until definitely had problems, Eric wears the clothes to arrive at the study room, turns on the computer, has discovered a special column article from Jones Corporation «Barents Weekly» in own electronic mail quickly. 直到肯定是出了什么问题,艾瑞克穿好衣服来到书房,打开电脑,很快在自己的电子邮箱内发现了一篇来自道琼斯公司旗下《巴伦周刊》的专栏文章。 Although the title of article has two words, is dazzling: «Combustion Completely». 文章的标题虽然只有两个单词,却非常刺眼:《燃烧殆尽》。 The content in the financial analyses of over 200 new technology corporations in view of the NASDAQ market, the final result pointed out that over the next half year, in more than 200 recent two years carry on the IPO new technology corporation, dry up over 50 company funds, in longer one year, this digit will be over half. 内容是针对纳斯达克市场上超过200家新科技企业的财务分析,最终的结果指出,在未来半年内,这200多家最近两年内进行IPO的新科技企业,将有超过50家公司资金枯竭,在更加漫长的一年内,这个数字将超过一半。 Moreover, as the Federal Reserve enters raising interest rate cycle, these enterprises will be very difficult to obtain next round financing, in addition itself has not formed any effective business model, the final result can only move toward the bankruptcy. 而且,随着美联储进入加息周期,这些企业将很难获得下一轮融资,再加上本身并没有形成任何有效的商业模式,最终的结果只能走向破产。
