Is listening to Ian the Gonul's introduction to situation, Eric also sets out to arrive at indoor field corner, Payne standing that Foster and the others are tactful in same place patient waiting. 听着伊恩・格尼尔对情况的介绍,艾瑞克也起身走到室内球场的角落,佩恩・福斯特曼等人都很识趣的站在原地耐心等待。 Sudden that very although the matter has, but Yahoo had not expected completely. 事情虽然发生的很突然,但雅虎也不是完全没有预料。 After all, the Yahoo Browser market share was really too high. 毕竟,雅虎浏览器的市场份额实在是太高了。 As a result of the monopoly to graphical interface browser core patent, as well as the past years occupied completely the free promotion of situation, the Yahoo Browser market share around the world close 90%, the remaining about 10% various type browsers, were a suspect to encroach upon the technological patent of Yahoo. Because, these non- mainstream browser cannot pose any threat to Yahoo Browser completely, Yahoo does not want to invade the market to leave behind the pretext to various countries' anti- monopoly department completely, this does not have the essence investigation action. 由于对图形界面浏览器核心专利的垄断,以及当年占尽先机的免费推广,雅虎浏览器在世界范围内的市场份额接近90%,剩下10%左右的各类型浏览器,很多也都涉嫌侵犯雅虎的技术专利。只不过,因为这些非主流浏览器完全对雅虎浏览器形不成任何威胁,雅虎也不想完全侵占市场给各国反垄断部门留下口实,这才没有实质的追究举动。 In fact, during a while ago Australia got together, everybody also specially discussed similar aspect as well as the appropriate countermeasure in secret possibly facing. 实际上,前段时间的澳洲聚会期间,大家私下里还特意讨论可能面对的类似局面以及相应对策。 Therefore, although to the petty action that Microsoft puts forth is very discontented, Eric does not have the feeling that anything is caught off guard actually. In telephone and Ian Gonul discussed a while, the reminder opposite party had any situation momentarily to relate itself, Eric has made the telephone call. 因此,虽然对微软使出的这一小动作很是不满,艾瑞克倒是没有什么措手不及的感觉。在电话里和伊恩・格尼尔讨论了一会儿,提醒对方有什么情况随时联系自己,艾瑞克就挂了电话。 Has turned around to turn back just position, wears the blonde of T-shirt hot-pants to stand in Payne cleverly side Foster, just participated in Anna of competition Kournikova. 转过身走回刚刚的位置,一个身着T恤热裤的金发女郎已经乖巧地站在佩恩・福斯特曼身边,正是刚刚参加完比赛的安娜・库尔尼科娃。 Waits for Eric to approach, Anna Kournikova warmly approaches to say the hello: „Mr. Williams, sees you very much happily, I am your movie fan.” 等艾瑞克走近,安娜・库尔尼科娃就热情地主动上前打起招呼:“威廉姆斯先生,很高兴见到你,我可是你的影迷呢。” „Oh, thanks.” “哦,谢谢。” Eric puts out a hand with Anna Kournikova has grasped, simultaneously takes a look at the present girl. 艾瑞克伸手和安娜・库尔尼科娃握了下,同时打量起眼前的女孩。 Anna Kournikova this year was just 18 years old, when youth invincible age, attractive cheek, healthy wheat color flesh, healthy stature just right, although on media various most sexy athletes and so on title has the trace of IMG secretly operation obviously, but the girl also truly appears full of flavor. 安娜・库尔尼科娃今年刚刚18岁,正值青春无敌的年龄,漂亮的脸蛋,健康的小麦色肌肤,恰到好处的健美身材,虽然媒体上各种最性感运动员之类的称号明显有着IMG幕后运作的痕迹,但女孩也确实显得韵味十足。 Anna Kournikova loosens the hand of Eric, very naturally, whatever Eric is sizing up, said: „Mr. Williams, you come to see me to play a ball game specially?” 安娜・库尔尼科娃松开艾瑞克的手,很大方地任由艾瑞克打量着,道:“威廉姆斯先生,你是专门来看我打球的吗？” „Yes, but your today's display may poor.” “是啊,不过你今天的发挥可不怎么好。” „I was too recently tired,” girl makes embarrassed the appearance, was explaining in a low voice, stole a glance looked under Payne Foster graceful and another just accompanied the middle-aged person who she came together, suddenly the courage was suggesting greatly: „Mr. Williams, can you then return to Manhattan?” “我最近太累了,”女孩做出不好意思地模样,低声解释着,偷眼瞄了下佩恩・福斯特曼和另外一个刚刚陪她一起过来的中年人,突然大着胆子暗示道:“威廉姆斯先生,你接下来是要回曼哈顿吗？” Eric nods with a smile, said: „To travel by vehicle?” 艾瑞克笑着点头,道:“是不是想搭车？” „If not troublesome,” girl was saying, the look shines, approaches two steps, on own initiative has actually pulled the arm of Eric. “如果不麻烦的话,”女孩说着,眼神忽闪,凑近两步,却已经主动挽住了艾瑞克的手臂。 Eric noted just girl's petty action, realized that she should want to run away taking advantage of herself, was sighing the boldness of this small kitty at heart darkly, actually to Payne Foster graceful say|way: „, Payne, arrived here today, I should go back.” 艾瑞克注意到刚刚女孩的小动作,意识到她应该是想要借着自己逃走,心里暗叹着这只小猫咪的大胆,却还是对佩恩・福斯特曼道:“那么,佩恩,今天就到这里,我该回去了。” Payne Foster nods gracefully, was saying the saying goodbye words accompany Eric to walk together outward, actually a moment ago and Anna on the middle-aged face that Kournikova comes together does not show everywhere the expression, wants to open the mouth, actually by Payne Foster warned that stared one, must close the mouth. 佩恩・福斯特曼点点头,说着告辞的话陪艾瑞克一起向外走,倒是刚才和安娜・库尔尼科娃一起过来的中年人脸上露出不满地表情,想要开口,却被佩恩・福斯特曼警告地瞪了一眼,只得闭上嘴巴。 Looks that Anna Kournikova sneaks in Eric the Williams private car departs together, the middle-aged talented person somewhat complained to Payne Foster graceful say|way: „Payne, we cannot absolutely again to ignore Anna like this, Eric Williams, even if he is the world's richest, but has any relations with us, we do not need to flatter her, if not strengthen the training to Anna, she will discard.” 看着安娜・库尔尼科娃钻进艾瑞克・威廉姆斯的座驾一同离去,中年人才有些抱怨地对佩恩・福斯特曼道:“佩恩,我们绝对不能再放任安娜这样了,还有艾瑞克・威廉姆斯,就算他是世界首富,但和我们有什么关系,我们没必要讨好她,如果再不加强对安娜的训练,她会废掉的。” Middle-aged person named Max Essen Pak Teu, is Anna Kournikova's manager, is one of the IMG most top sports manager. Anna reason that Kournikova can have today's commercial achievement, is Max a result of Essen Pak Teu operation. 中年人名叫麦克斯・埃森巴德,是安娜・库尔尼科娃的经纪人,也是IMG旗下最顶级的体育经纪人之一。安娜・库尔尼科娃之所以能够拥有今天的商业成就,便是麦克斯・埃森巴德一手运作的结果。 Payne Foster looks gracefully the Eric private car vanishes in the crossroad, hints Max Essen Pak Teu and return to the stadium together, said: „Mike, you should hear that Mr. Mark did plan to sell out the matter of IMG group?” 佩恩・福斯特曼看着艾瑞克的座驾消失在路口,才示意麦克斯・埃森巴德和自己一同返回体育场内,说道:“麦克,你应该听说麦科马克先生打算卖掉IMG集团的事情了吧？” Max Essen Pak Teu nods, suddenly understands: „Eric Williams?” 麦克斯・埃森巴德点点头,突然明白过来:“艾瑞克・威廉姆斯？” „Anna competition time, Mr. Williams and Mr. Mark had officially determined in the stadium the transaction plan, probably in one month, the IMG group must replace the master.” “安娜比赛的时候,威廉姆斯先生和麦科马克先生在体育场里正式确定了交易方案,或许一个月内,IMG集团就要更换主人了。” The shareholders of IMG group change not to affect Max Essen Pak Teu this level, he also has enough confidence to his ability, can operate Anna Kournikova the sports star who will earn the big profit for the company, the group replaces any Boss only to entrust with heavy responsibility him like this. IMG集团的股东更替还影响不到麦克斯・埃森巴德这个层次,他对自己的能力也有足够的信心,能够运作出安娜・库尔尼科娃这样为公司赚取大笔利润的体育明星,集团更换任何一位老板都只会更加重用他。 However, is thinking Eric Williams just brought Anna situation that Kournikova leaves, Max Essen Pak Teu is somewhat depressed. If IMG traded such one to soak Boss of little girl for more convenient, the prospect of that company was not clear. 不过,想着艾瑞克・威廉姆斯刚刚带安娜・库尔尼科娃离开的情形,麦克斯・埃森巴德还是有些郁闷。IMG如果换了这样一个只是为了更方便自己泡妞的老板,那公司的前景可不怎么明朗。 „Before Mr. Mark, had not said hopes we further do develop to Hollywood?” Has thought deeply about the moment, Max Essen Pak Teu said: „If Boss changes into Eric Williams, according to the limit bill of Hollywood agency, we definitely isn't able to take this road again?” “麦科马克先生以前不是说过希望我们进一步向好莱坞拓展吗？”思索了片刻,麦克斯・埃森巴德道:“如果老板换成艾瑞克・威廉姆斯,根据好莱坞代理公司的限制法案,我们肯定就无法再走这条路了？” Payne Foster shrugs gracefully, said: „Mike, you knows that this is not we can decide.” 佩恩・福斯特曼耸耸肩,道:“麦克,你知道,这不是我们能够决定的。” Max Essen Pak Teu sighed gently, although some are not willingly, but also understands that the IMG group hub value surpasses 1 billion USD, this sum of money perhaps regarding Eric Williams is not anything, but regarding their these management, absolutely is an unattainable great sum of money. 麦克斯・埃森巴德轻轻叹了一口气,虽然有些不甘心,但也明白,IMG集团整体价值超过10亿美元,这笔钱或许对于艾瑞克・威廉姆斯来说不算什么,但对于他们这些管理层来说,就绝对是一笔可望不可即的巨款。 Payne Foster is leading Max gracefully Essen Pak Teu comes to office in a training center, after they sit down, saw that Max Essen Pak Teu worried, Payne Foster graceful say|way: „Actually, Williams just had discussed the Anna matter with me.” 佩恩・福斯特曼带着麦克斯・埃森巴德来到训练中心内的一间办公室,两人坐下后,看出麦克斯・埃森巴德的一些担忧,佩恩・福斯特曼道:“其实,威廉姆斯刚刚就已经和我谈过安娜的事情了。” Max Essen Pak Teu received one coffee from the office secret clerk copyists, just about to delivers to the mouth, hears word puts down the cup, asked: „How did he say?” 麦克斯・埃森巴德从办公室秘书手中接过一杯咖啡,刚要送到嘴边,闻言又放下杯子,问道:“他怎么说？” „He does not favor the Anna future, but also had asked the Anna contract deadline, then said we should better start to train the Anna successor now,” Payne Foster will be saying, will set out to come back to give Max with that material that Eric just had selected Essen Pak Teu, said: „You looked that this is Williams selects personally.” “他不看好安娜的未来,还问过安娜的合约期限,然后说我们最好现在就开始培养安娜的接班人,”佩恩・福斯特曼说着,起身拿过艾瑞克刚刚挑出来的那份资料回来递给麦克斯・埃森巴德,道:“你看,这是威廉姆斯亲自挑的。” Max Essen Pak Teu simply has swept the Sarah basic document, cannot bear frown, to Payne Foster graceful say|way: „Ok...... He did not think that this girl was too little a point?” 麦克斯・埃森巴德只是简单扫了眼莎拉波娃的基本资料,就忍不住皱起眉头,对佩恩・福斯特曼道:“就算……难道他不觉得这女孩太小了一点吗？” „Little girl association grows up, that side professional model Corporation, Gisele didn't Bündchen become the fame rises quickest supermodel in the two years?” “小女孩总会长大的,模特公司那边,吉赛尔・邦辰这两年不就已经成为名气上升最快的超级名模了吗？” Max in Essen Pak Teu expression somewhat disdains, said: „How these vases can compared with athlete, the tennis player need to depend on the strength eventually.” 麦克斯・埃森巴德语气里有些不屑,道:“那些花瓶怎么能和运动员相比,网球选手终究是需要靠实力的。” Payne on the Foster graceful face shows the smile, said: „You know, Mike, before several hours, Williams has spoken exactly also and your similar words. Therefore, you definitely do not need extremely in the worry. As for this girl, I want to ask that you are interested in leading her personally, if you are not interested, I in addition find other people. However, if you lead her personally, but some lot of opportunities can contact Eric Williams, this will definitely have very big advantage regarding your future promotion, I think that you won't plan to make manager? Even, if you can obtain the recognition of Williams, jumps out IMG is further not impossible, the entire Firefly system may want to be too more than IMG group huge.” 佩恩・福斯特曼脸上露出微笑,道:“你知道吗,麦克,几个小时前威廉姆斯恰好也说过和你同样的话。所以,你完全没必要太过于担心。至于这个女孩,我就是想问问你有没有兴趣亲自带她,如果你不感兴趣,我就另找其他人。不过,如果你亲自来带她的话,可是有很多机会能接触到艾瑞克・威廉姆斯的,这对于你将来的升迁肯定有很大好处,我想你也不会打算一直做一个经纪人吧？甚至,如果你能得到威廉姆斯的赏识,跳出IMG更进一步都不是不可能的,整个萤火虫体系可比IMG集团要庞大太多了。” Max on Essen Pak Teu face shows the expression that intent moves obviously, asked back: „Payne, you?” 麦克斯・埃森巴德脸上明显露出意动的表情,却又反问道:“佩恩,那你呢？” Payne Foster shrugs gracefully once more, said: „I very much had self-knowledge to my strength, can handle the IMG group to be enough.” 佩恩・福斯特曼再次耸耸肩,道:“我对自己的实力还是很有自知之明的,能够一直打理IMG集团就足够了。” Max Essen Pak Teu hesitant moment, lowered the head also carefully read the girl material in hand hastily, gained ground saying: „That, how should I then do?” 麦克斯・埃森巴德犹豫了片刻,低头匆匆将手中的女孩资料又细细读了一遍,才抬头道:“那么,我接下来该怎么做？” Payne Foster understands gracefully Max Essen Pak Teu was asking anything, said: „Williams said this girl entire tooth, therefore, you must first arrange the best dentist to her, remembered wear the invisible tooth socket, Williams does not like the steel tooth socket.” 佩恩・福斯特曼明白麦克斯・埃森巴德在问什么,道:“威廉姆斯说这女孩该整牙了,所以,你首先要给她安排最好的牙医,还有,记住戴隐形牙套,威廉姆斯不喜欢钢牙套。” Max Essen Pak Teu corners of the mouth have pulled out pulling out, confirmed that Payne Foster gracefully is not cracking a joke with oneself, this reluctantly nods. 麦克斯・埃森巴德嘴角抽了抽,确认佩恩・福斯特曼并不是在和自己开玩笑,这才无奈地点点头。 ...... …… Moreover one side, the Eric private car leaves the block that the IMG training center is, Anna Kournikova turned head to look back the eye carefully, probably pursued in some confirmation people, then relaxed to pat the outsize chest: „Shouted, finally did not need to endure Essen Pak Teu this tyrant again.” 另外一边,艾瑞克的座驾离开IMG训练中心所在的街区,安娜・库尔尼科娃小心地扭头向后看了眼,好像是在确认是不是有人追上来,然后才放松地拍了拍自己鼓囊囊的胸脯:“呼,终于不用再忍受埃森巴德这个暴君了。” Eric sits in side, listening to the girl to not mince matter the frank words of oneself motive, said with a smile: „Therefore, I like this was used by you?” 艾瑞克坐在旁边,听着女孩毫不掩饰自己动机的直率话语,笑道:“所以,我就这样被你利用了？” Anna Kournikova realized own just words were extremely straightforward, immediately reveals smiling that flattered, cat collected some, said: „Mr. Williams, you will definitely not mind that is right?” 安娜・库尔尼科娃意识到自己刚刚的话语太过直白,立刻露出讨好的笑,小猫似的凑过来一些,道:“威廉姆斯先生,你肯定不会介意的,对不对？” Eric shakes the head saying: „This may be very difficult saying that I actually am very narrow-minded.” 艾瑞克摇头道:“这可很难说,我其实还是很小心眼的。” Anna Kournikova knows that Eric is cracking a joke with oneself, actually shows the pitiful expression, said: „Or, today's supper did I invite?” 安娜・库尔尼科娃知道艾瑞克在和自己开玩笑,却露出可怜兮兮的表情,道:“要不,今天的晚餐我来请好了？” Eric smiles indifferently, said: „Therefore, Essen Pak Teu, your coach?” 艾瑞克无所谓地笑笑,道:“所以,埃森巴德,你的教练？” „My manager, just stood in Payne that middle-aged person of Foster graceful side, his name was Max Essen Pak Teu,” Anna Kournikova was saying, probably suddenly recalled own pitiful history of blood and tears, said: „Essen Pak Teu simply is a devil, my every action and every movement must be managed by him, like the puppet, all day cannot make this completely, cannot make that at the press conference I must say that any he must verify beforehand, sometimes not careful speaking incorrectly a few words must be scolded.” “我的经纪人,就是刚刚站在佩恩・福斯特曼身边的那个中年人,他叫麦克斯・埃森巴德,”安娜・库尔尼科娃说着,好像突然回忆起了自己的悲惨血泪史,道:“埃森巴德简直就是个魔鬼呢,我的一举一动都要被他管着,完全就像个木偶,整天不许做这个,不许做那个,就连新闻发布会上我要说什么他都要事先审核一遍,有时候只是不小心说错一句话就要挨骂。” Eric is listening to girl's complaint, said: „Do you have to think, you can have today's status, possibly to a great extent is the result that this person operates?” 艾瑞克听着女孩的抱怨,道:“那你有没有想过,你能够拥有今天的地位,可能很大程度上就是这个人运作的结果？” „I...... I know certainly that” Anna certain words that Kournikova just will want obviously to blurt out swallow back, the pupil is rotating, asked Eric carefully: „Mr. Williams, you, with Payne is the Foster graceful mister very ripe?” “我……我当然知道啊,”安娜・库尔尼科娃明显将刚刚想要脱口而出的某些话咽回去,眸子转动着,小心地问身旁的艾瑞克:“威廉姆斯先生,你和,和佩恩・福斯特曼先生很熟吗？” Eric shakes the head, said: „It is not ripe, today first meeting.” 艾瑞克摇摇头,道:“不熟,今天第一次见面。” Anna Kournikova relaxes immediately, said: „Mr. Williams, actually, IMG simply is one crowd of vampire, from staff of Boss of this company to lowest level, completely is hateful vampire. I in their eyes am only a making money tool. Last year, was last year, I have gained 12 million USD, but, you know finally I took how many had?” 安娜・库尔尼科娃顿时又放松下来,道:“威廉姆斯先生,其实,IMG上上下下简直就是一群吸血鬼呢,从这家公司的老板到最底层的员工,全部都是可恶的吸血鬼。我在他们眼里就只是一个赚钱工具而已。去年,就是去年,我可是赚了1200万美元,但是,你知道我最终拿到手的有多少吗？” The Eric expression ponders is listening to girl's complaint, echoes saying: „How many?” 艾瑞克表情玩味地听着女孩的抱怨,附和道:“多少啊？” Anna Kournikova stretches out three slender attractive fingers, the expression becomes more pitiful: „Does not arrive at 5 million USD. 12 million, IMG has screened directly out 30%, but this has not calculated that they have also buckled my 1 million USD various expenses. The remaining money junctions pay duty, I only remaining was less than 5 million USD.” 安娜・库尔尼科娃伸出三根纤长的漂亮手指,表情变得更加可怜:“不到500万美元。1200万,IMG直接就抽走了30%,但这还不算,他们还扣了我100万美元的各种费用。剩下的钱交完税,我就只剩下不到500万美元了。” „I thought that should other people with you almost?” “我觉得,其他人应该都和你差不多吧？” Anna Kournikova nods, said: „Therefore I said that IMG is vampire, our these athletes by the poor man who they exploit.” 安娜・库尔尼科娃点点头,道:“所以我才说,IMG就是吸血鬼啊,我们这些运动员都只是被他们剥削的可怜人。” „If in IMG dull is unhappy, did that change the agency to be good?” “如果在IMG呆的不开心,那就换个代理公司好了？” Anna the Kournikova pupil shines suddenly, remembers the status of man, pulls the arm of Eric affectionate, but also has rubbed rubbing gently, said: „Mr. Williams, can you help me?” 安娜・库尔尼科娃眸子陡然亮了亮,想起身旁男人的身份,亲昵地挽住艾瑞克的手臂,还轻轻蹭了蹭,道:“威廉姆斯先生,你可以帮我吗？” The Eric smiling face becomes ponders: „That, which Brokerage Firm do you want to go to?” 艾瑞克笑容变得更加玩味:“那么,你想去哪家经纪公司？” Anna Kournikova is peaceful, has pondered over a while carefully, suddenly somewhat dejected loosens the arm of man, said: „I thought that perhaps, I kept IMG to be good.” 安娜・库尔尼科娃安静下来,仔细琢磨了一会儿,突然有些颓然地松开男人的手臂,道:“我觉得,或许,我还是留在IMG好了。” Eric is taking a look at girl once more, although some do not select the word, is not quite intelligent, but also is obviously clear own situation. 艾瑞克再次打量着身旁的女孩,虽然有些口不择言,还不太聪明,但显然也非常明白自己的处境。 Although industry in has many sports star agency, Hollywood three big Brokerage Firm now also somewhat involve the sports star agency business, but in the final analysis, which Brokerage Firm does not have to be able eventually, in the sports star acts on reaches the altitude of IMG group. 虽然业内有着很多体育明星代理公司,就连好莱坞三大经纪公司现在也多多少少涉及到体育明星代理业务,但归根结底,终究没有哪家经纪公司能够在体育明星代理上达到IMG集团的高度。 Left IMG, by Anna Kournikova's strength, let alone one year of 12 million USD, even if 2 million USD is not easy to attain. Must know that many sponsors look in her are the signing sports stars of IMG, the meeting is willing to give money generously. Because these sponsors understand that IMG has the sufficient resources and channel invests Anna them Kournikova's advertizing cost displays the biggest benefit, but other same type agency is very difficult to achieve these. 离开了IMG,以安娜・库尔尼科娃的实力,别说一年1200万美元,哪怕是200万美元都不是那么容易拿到的。要知道,很多赞助商都是看在她是IMG旗下的签约体育明星,才会愿意慷慨解囊。因为这些赞助商明白,IMG有足够的资源和渠道将他们投入到安娜・库尔尼科娃身上的广告费用发挥到最大效益,但其他同类型代理公司却很难做到这些。 Such was chatting, the vehicle passed through Queens, entered Manhattan, the time is in the evening. 这么聊着,车子穿过皇后区,进入曼哈顿,时间已经是傍晚。 Eric looked at the watch, asked that girl said: „Therefore, where wants to go to eat meal?” 艾瑞克看了看手表,问身旁女孩道:“所以,想去哪里吃饭？” Anna Kournikova was also only slightly disconsolate a while, to Eric ‚pouring out’, the mood was obviously good, hears word came the interest immediately, said: „Bernardine dining room? That of 51 avenues, heard that there seafood is very good, my previous and friend wants to go together, has not actually subscribed the position, was really too hateful. Mr. Williams, you can definitely subscribe the seat is right?” 安娜・库尔尼科娃也只是小小地惆怅了一会儿,向艾瑞克‘倾诉’一番,心情明显好了很多,闻言立刻又来了兴致,道:“伯纳丁餐厅可以吗？51大街的那家,听说那里的海鲜很不错呢,我上次和朋友想要一起去,却没有订到位置,真是太可恶了。威廉姆斯先生,你肯定能订到位子的对不对？” „This, I am indefinite.” “这个啊,我可不确定。” Eric was saying, puts out the cell phone to telephone, after the moment, got the response, therefore spoke thoughtlessly to tell that the driver went to 51 avenues. 艾瑞克说着,拿出手机打了个电话出去,片刻后就得到了回应,于是随口吩咐司机去51大街。
