Eric puts down the coffee cup in hand gently, gains ground saying: „Mr. Murdoch, you definitely my some understood that I am a very tenacious person, if you make me open the mouth, the condition that then I said will again not have making concessions, but Fox was unacceptable, both sides will definitely make not happily. Therefore, you said first, if the Fox condition can make me satisfy, I am not a person of being insatiably greedy.” 艾瑞克轻轻放下手中的咖啡杯,抬头说道:“默多克先生,你肯定对我有一些了解,我是一个非常固执的人,如果你让我开口,那么我说出的条件就不会再有一丝的退让,而福克斯不能接受的话,那双方肯定会闹得非常不愉快。所以,还是你先说吧,如果福克斯的条件能够让我满意,我也不是一个贪得无厌的人呢。” Murdoch has criticized a little smart-aleck at heart, this is not also insatiably greedy, but Murdoch had considered the moment opens the mouth saying: „Eric, the cooperation of Fox and Firefly has been happy, therefore is inferior to this, I use the Fox Film Studio 5% stocks to replace Firefly stock on the same scale, thinks that you also know the Fox market value, Firefly took advantage, this can also make the cooperation of two Film Studio closer. I use this price, received exchange for 《Friends》 afterward the first broadcast power of four seasons, 70% advertisements that just proposed are divided into the proportion to be invariable, do this time you think what kind of?” 默多克心里暗骂了一句小滑头,这还不算贪得无厌,不过默多克只是考虑了片刻就开口道:“艾瑞克,福克斯和萤火虫的合作一直都非常愉快的,所以不如这样,我用福克斯电影公司5%的股份置换萤火虫同比例的股份,想必你也知道福克斯的市值,萤火虫可是占了大便宜的,这样也可以让两家电影公司的合作更加密切。我用这个代价,换取《老友记》随后四季的首播权,刚刚提出的70%的广告分成比例不变,这次你觉得怎么样？” Eric hears the condition that Murdoch put forward, slightly after Tempted several seconds, a feeling of profiting did not have. 艾瑞克听到默多克提出的这个条件,微微动心了几秒钟之后,就一点占便宜的感觉都没有了。 He hears to be very clear, Murdoch said that received exchange for Firefly stock on the same scale with the Fox Film Studio stock, but is not the Fox TV Network stock. 他听得很清楚,默多克所说的,是用福克斯电影公司的股份换取萤火虫同比例的股份,而不是福克斯电视网的股份。 Perhaps the public thinks that these two companies is a body, but Eric actually do not divide to it is very clear, although turns over to Barry Diller to govern at present, but Fox Film Studio and Fox TV Network completely is two irregular companies. Fox Film Studio present market value in 2 billion USD about, 5% stock value 100 million USD, but the Firefly 5% stocks truly are unworthy now these many. With new line merge calculates when according to the price that the Firefly market value is only about 600 million USD. Such calculates, so long as Firefly agrees with and Fox carries on the stockholder's rights replacement, was equal to gaining 70 million USD. 或许公众会以为这两家公司是一体的,但艾瑞克却对其中的其别分的很清楚,虽然目前都归巴里.迪勒掌管,但福克斯电影公司和福克斯电视网完全是两家不相干的公司。福克斯电影公司现在的市值在20亿美元左右,5%的股份价值一亿美元,而萤火虫5%的股份现在确实不值这么多。按照与新线合并时的价格来算,萤火虫的市值只有6亿美元左右。这么算下来,萤火虫只要同意与福克斯进行股权置换,就等于赚了7000万美元。 But the matter by far is not that simple. 但事情远远不是那么简单。 After Firefly and new line merge. Which film giants regardless of Hollywood, knows the Firefly possible development potential, if the Eric movie harvests the Box Office tendency maintains. Perhaps soon, the Firefly status can with seven big Film Studio shoulder to shoulder. Accordingly, the Firefly market value along with it rising suddenly, perhaps also will also surpass Fox. 在萤火虫和新线合并之后。无论好莱坞哪家电影巨头,都知道萤火虫可能的发展潜力,如果艾瑞克电影收割票房的势头一直保持下去。说不定用不了几年,萤火虫的地位就可以与七大电影公司并肩了。相应的,萤火虫的市值也会随之暴涨,说不定还会超过福克斯。 Eric is self-confident, if smooth, this process even has more than enough for five years. A while ago paid 15% stocks and money merged the new line, Eric is willing, because this will make up for the Firefly release technology short board, greatly reduced the step that Firefly rose. 艾瑞克非常自信,如果顺利的话,这个过程甚至用不了五年时间。前段时间付出15%的股份和一大笔钱并购了新线,艾瑞克算是心甘情愿,因为这会弥补萤火虫发行能力方面的短板,大大缩短萤火虫崛起的步伐。 5% stocks could have certain right to speak in Board of Directors. After Fox replacement stock, Eric not only has not seen many advantage, instead will therefore be impeded. 5%的股份就已经可以在董事会里拥有一定的发言权。与福克斯置换股份之后,艾瑞克不但没有看到多少好处,反而会因此受到掣肘。 And...... 而且…… Eric has pulled the corners of the mouth gently, the leans forward, asked to opposite Murdoch slightly: „Mr. Murdoch, you thought how many Fox Film Studio this year's profit can have?” 艾瑞克轻轻扯了扯嘴角,微微前倾,向对面的默多克问道:“默多克先生,你觉得福克斯电影公司今年的盈利会有多少？” The Murdoch heart jumps suddenly, heart said that was looked through by this kid? 默多克心脏猛然一跳,心说难道被这个小家伙看破了？ However, Murdoch is holding a luck, shakes the head saying: „This matter I am not too clear, after the wanting year immovable property report draws a charge, can know.” 不过,默多克还是抱着一丝侥幸,摇头说道:“这件事我并不是太清楚,要年底财报出炉之后才能知晓。” Eric almost must sneer to make noise: „Mr. Murdoch. I can calculate for Fox actually slightly, because Mr. Barry Diller stressed on developing the Fox TV Network reason, Fox itself too many movies have not promoted. Has the high Box Office potential big manufacture movie does not have. This year Fox principal is my three movies, 《Pretty Woman》 and «Sleepless in Seattle» and «Home Alone 2», 《Pretty Woman》 has settled down, North America 210 million, global 5. 300 million, Fox except release expense, at least can attain the 70 million USD profit. Moreover, I thought the profit that following «Sleepless in Seattle» and «Home Alone 2» two movie Fox can attain at least also has 100 million USD, in addition other movies as well as recording tapes of Fox release and other peripheral income. Ha, is really the good year's harvest. Perhaps this year can create the 300 million USD profit for the year also perhaps, was almost two times of ordinary year.” 艾瑞克几乎要冷笑出声:“默多克先生。我倒是可以稍微替福克斯计算一下,因为巴里.迪勒先生侧重于发展福克斯电视网的缘故,福克斯本身并没有太多电影推出。拥有高票房潜力的大制作电影更是一部也没有。今年福克斯主打的就是我的三部电影,《风月俏佳人》、《西雅图夜未眠》和《小鬼当家2》,《风月》已经尘埃落定,北美2.1亿,全球5.3亿,福克斯除去发行费用,也至少能拿到7000万美元的利润。而且,我个人觉得接下来《西雅图夜未眠》和《小鬼当家2》两部电影福克斯能拿到的利润至少也有一亿美元,加上福克斯发行的其他影片以及录像带等周边收入。哈,真是个好年景。或许今年能创造3亿美元的年利润也说不定,几乎是普通年份的两倍了。” Murdoch hears the summary of Eric. Also is at heart unavoidable one happily, if is really this, this result affirmation was situated seven big Film Studio first, even if this year, because «Batman» gained Warner not to create greatly such high profit for the year. After waiting year immovable property report comes out, the Fox market value will definitely welcome one * to rise. 默多克听到艾瑞克的总结。心里也难免一喜,如果真是这样,这个成绩肯定排行七大电影公司第一名了,哪怕是今年因为《蝙蝠侠》大赚一笔的华纳都不一定能够创造这么高的年利润。等年底财报出来之后,福克斯的市值肯定会迎来一*涨。 However, after is pleasantly surprised, Murdoch at heart certain also completely is by luck disillusioned, but asked one dry: „Eric, isn't this very good?” 不过,惊喜过后,默多克心里的某些侥幸也彻底破灭,只是干巴巴地反问了一句:“艾瑞克,这难道不是很好嘛？” „Naturally is very good,” Eric said: „, Making us calculate the Firefly this year's profit.” “当然很好,”艾瑞克道:“那么,让我们来算算萤火虫今年的盈利吧。” Eric was saying, raises up several fingers 11 to count: „《Pretty Woman》, 105 million \; 《Running Out of Time》, according to the present Box Office trend, global Box Office can achieve about 500 million USD as before, Firefly can attain about 100 million USD once more, the end of the year «Sleepless in Seattle» and «Home Alone 2», except the cost, Firefly at least can also like Fox, attain 100 million USD. Don't forget, I have another three movies to screen at the end of the year, three movies I favor, but three movies put together can only attain 100 million USD. At the end of the year divides up money, similarly is 5% stocks, Fox can attain 20 million to draw bonus, Firefly actually can only attain 15 million.” 艾瑞克说着,竖起几根手指11数到:“《风月俏佳人》,1.05亿\;《暗战》,依照现在的票房走势,全球票房依旧能达到5亿美元左右,萤火虫能再次拿到1亿美元左右,年底的《西雅图夜未眠》和《小鬼当家2》,除去成本,萤火虫至少也能像福克斯那样,拿到1亿美元吧。别忘了,我还有另外三部电影年底上映,三部电影我都是非常看好的,但就算三部电影加在一起只能拿到1亿美元。年底分账的时候,同样是5%的股份,福克斯能拿到2000万分红,萤火虫却只能拿到1500万。” Said here, Eric will set upright the arm before body to receive, but the moral nature exceptionally was angry, after Murdoch put forward the condition, because Eric that 70 million USD stock value difference also had Tempted of moment, but after such one combed, he discovered that this especially was a big hole that the opposite old fogy dug. 说道这里,艾瑞克将竖在身前的手臂收了回去,但心底却异常愤怒,原本默多克提出条件之后,艾瑞克因为那7000万美元的股值差额还有片刻的动心,但经过这么一番梳理,他发现,这特么的又是对面老家伙挖的一个大坑。 The exchange stock and Fox gain the first broadcast power of 《Friends》 first five season, earnest radically is two matters, but Murdoch ingenious confused these two matters in one, gave Eric Fox to have the sincerity false appearance. But if Eric has chosen that 5% stock, to is finally possible a advantage unable to fall, instead because of the profit disparity, will give instead of taking every year to Fox one draws bonus. In addition this stock definitely has long limiting selling time, when can sell, perhaps the Firefly market value was similar to Fox. 互换股份和福克斯获取《老友记》前五季的首播权,认真算起来根本就是两码事,只不过默多克巧妙的将这两件事混淆在了一起,给了艾瑞克一个福克斯非常有诚意的假象。但如果艾瑞克真的选择了那5%的股份,到最后可能一点好处都落不着,反而会因为利润差距,每年倒贴给福克斯一笔分红。再加上这笔股份肯定有很长的限售期,等到能够出售了,或许萤火虫的市值已经跟福克斯差不多了。 But Fox definitely has first takes back stock the authority, even if when the time comes Eric sells the opposite party the stock again, the final result is, Fox has the Firefly stock, can gesticulate to the Firefly business, but Firefly actually cannot meddle Fox to be tiny bit. Also a little, after stock exchange, Firefly and Fox benefit also tied up in one, even if would rather not at heart, if desired, Eric also has to hold one's nose first chooses and Fox cooperates. It is estimated that this is also Murdoch wants with the main purpose of Firefly replacement stock. 而福克斯肯定拥有优先收回股份的权力,到时候哪怕艾瑞克再将股份卖回对方,最后的结果是,福克斯拥有萤火虫的股份,可以对萤火虫的事务指手画脚,但萤火虫却不能插手福克斯一丝一毫。还有一点,股份互换之后,萤火虫和福克斯的利益也就绑在了一起,就算心里不太情愿,如果需要的话,艾瑞克也不得不捏着鼻子优先选择与福克斯进行合作。估计这也是默多克想要跟萤火虫置换股份的主要目的。 If in the Eric body as before is that somewhat naively somewhat spiritless some youth spirit souls, perhaps thinks through these times, definitely will be mad results in the eye to pound the table including the tears, shouts one: „Bullied the person, did not work with you.” 如果艾瑞克身体里依旧是那个有些天真有些懦弱有些少年意气的灵魂的话,或许想通这些的时候,肯定会被气得眼含泪花拍案而起,大喊一声:“太欺负人了,不跟你们合作了。” Truly speaking, Eric just at heart possibly because the original master residual thought, truly produced this fill the impulsion of youth spirit. 说实在的,艾瑞克刚刚心里可能就因为原主人残留的思维,确实产生出这种充满了少年意气的冲动。 However, now this body was a soul of more than 40 calm middle-aged person has had the dominant position, in addition because of the special experience of rebirth, Eric looked to a lot quite pale, was more impossible to occur for the matter of money to a crown anger on him. 不过,现在这具身体到底还是一个40多沉稳中年人的灵魂占了主导地位,再加上因为重生的特殊经历,艾瑞克对很多事情都已经看得比较淡,冲冠一怒为了钱的事情就更不可能发生在他身上。 Naturally, this time Eric is angry at heart as before: „Mr. Murdoch, Fox has not possibly wanted to manifest any sincerity, then......” 当然,此时的艾瑞克心里依旧非常生气:“默多克先生,可能福克斯根本就没有想要体现什么诚意,那么……” Murdoch reveals a light forced smile, said: „Eric, you listened to me saying that or we......” 默多克露出一个淡淡的苦笑,道:“艾瑞克,你听我说,要不我们……” „No,” Eric has interrupted the Murdoch words immediately, he did not determine in the condition that the old fogy then put forward can have any big hole to wait for itself, if has not responded that may plant: „Me, I am not interested in the Fox Film Studio stock, what but since today discusses is the 《Friends》 matter, then chatted Fox TV Network. I want the Fox TV Network stock, if Fox wants to attain the 《Friends》 following several seasons the first broadcast power, that must begin broadcasting beforehand Fox TV Network market value 80% prices by 《Friends》, gives to I 10% stocks.” “不,”艾瑞克立刻打断了默多克的话,他可不确定老家伙接下来提出的条件里会不会还有什么大坑等着自己,万一没反应过来,那可就栽了:“还是我来说吧,我对福克斯电影公司的股份不太感兴趣,但既然今天商议的是《老友记》的事情,那么就谈谈福克斯电视网吧。我想要福克斯电视网的股份,如果福克斯想要拿到《老友记》接下来几季的首播权,那就必须以《老友记》开播之前福克斯电视网的市值八成的价格,转让给我10%的股份。” Murdoch opened the mouth to have a scare by the Eric lion greatly, although he is called the media tycoon, but currently also has News Corp more than 30% points stocks, but News Corp also has the Fox TV Network about 80% stocks, converts into, his family in Fox TV Network accounts for the stock proportion to have 24%. If accepted the Eric condition, then Firefly will become the Fox TV Network second major stockholder, the right to speak is next to the Murdoch family. If both sides will have the contradiction in the future, so long as Eric earns other shareholders' support, likely captures the Fox TV Network leading power. 默多克被艾瑞克的狮子大开口吓了一跳,虽然他被称为传媒大亨,但目前也只是拥有新闻集团30%多一点的股份,而新闻集团也只是拥有福克斯电视网80%左右的股份,折合下来,他的家族在福克斯电视网的占股比例只有24%。如果答应了艾瑞克的条件,那么萤火虫将一跃成为福克斯电视网的第二大股东,发言权仅次于默多克家族。如果将来双方发生矛盾的话,艾瑞克只要获得其他股东的支持,就很可能夺取福克斯电视网的主导权。 Fox TV Network is Murdoch makes extraordinary painstaking efforts to march most important a chess under North America market arrange, in any event, he is impossible to accept Eric such condition. 福克斯电视网是默多克苦心孤诣地为进军北美市场布下的最重要的一步棋,无论如何,他都不可能答应艾瑞克这样的条件。 Truly speaking, the Eric such big appetite, he had not originally planned to attain about 5% Fox TV Network stocks originally. 说实在的,原本艾瑞克也并没有这么大的胃口,他原计划只是想要拿到5%左右福克斯电视网的股份。 From material of collection, Fox TV Network present value , is less than 1 billion, cannot compare three big TV Station 40 ~ 5 billion USD huge scales by far. 从收集的资料中,福克斯电视网现在的价值只有不到10亿,远远比不上三大电视台40~50亿美元的庞大规模。 But Eric actually knows, more than ten years later, the Fox TV Station scale with three big TV Station shoulder to shoulder, will achieve above 30 billion USD, now only needs to invest is less than 50 million USD, when the time comes this 5% stocks is a value exceed the 1.5 billion USD great wealth . Moreover, compares in Film Studio, the profit of TV Network is stabler, in the future his anything will not do can count in the 1 billion USD profit to attain drawing bonus of not poor from Fox TV Network every year. ( to be continued ) 但艾瑞克却知道,十多年之后,福克斯电视台的规模会与三大电视台并肩,达到300亿美元以上,现在只需要投资不到5000万美元,到时候这5%的股份就是一笔价值超过15亿美元的巨大财富,而且,相比于电影公司,电视网的盈利则更加稳定,将来他什么都不做就可以从福克斯电视网每年数十亿美元的利润中拿到一笔不菲的分红。(未完待续)
