The unconscious six hours passed by, the time arrives at 3 : 00 pm, to prevent to miss the latest news, waits for all reporters outside Disney Headquarters not to leave. Has the words of partner, the lunch can also branch out a person to buy, the reporter who if comes can only be hungry. 不知不觉六个小时已经过去了,时间来到下午三点,为了防止错过最新的消息,等在迪斯尼总部外的所有记者没有离开。有搭档的话,午餐还可以分出一个人去买,如果独自一人前来的记者就只能饿着。 Elizabeth of Philadelphia evening news is one of the starving people, compares in these national well-known newspaper, the scale and fame of Philadelphia evening news are not too big, can only send a reporter to come Los Angeles, the track covers a Hollywood largest ever merger and acquisition case. 费城晚报的伊丽莎白便是挨饿的人之一,相比于那些全国知名的报纸,费城晚报的规模和名气都不算太大,只能派遣一个记者前来洛杉矶,跟踪采访好莱坞有史以来最大规模的一只并购案。 Los Angeles of January, even if the afternoon warmest time also only then several degrees, Elizabeth pushes in the crowd, tightened the tight-fitting on cream-colored windproof coat, again looks to the Disney Headquarters entrance, was anticipating will have any news to spread. 一月份的洛杉矶,哪怕是午后最温暖的时刻也只有十几度,伊丽莎白挤在人群中,紧了紧身上的米黄色风衣,再一次看向迪斯尼总部的大门口,期待着会有什么消息传出。 In a Disney Headquarters conference room, the confrontation of Viacom and Firefly entered the final time, offer of both sides from initial 5 500 million USD, rose dramatically 6 300 million USD, at present what offers leading is Firefly. 迪斯尼总部的一间会议室内,维亚康姆和萤火虫的交锋已经进入了最后时刻,双方的出价从最初的55亿美元,已经飙升到了63亿美元,目前报价领先的是萤火虫。 But a Viacom side, is similar to such that initially Bernie Sanders analyzed, after bidding over 6 billion USD, Redstone mood obvious becomes must hesitate with be anxious. 而维亚康姆一方,如同当初伯尼桑德斯分析的那样,出价超过60亿美元之后,雷石东的情绪明显的变得迟疑和焦虑起来。 Eric thinks that increasing price of following Redstone will reduce to surely the rank, but in a while, the Viacom aspect directly has started out 6 500 million USD prices. 艾瑞克以为接下来雷石东的加价会降低到千万级别,但没过多久,维亚康姆方面就直接开出了65亿美元的价格。 „Eric, this definitely was the Viacom final chip, after” heard this offer, Bernie Sanders gathered the Eric ear to say. “艾瑞克,这肯定是维亚康姆的最后筹码了,”听到这个报价之后,伯尼桑德斯凑到艾瑞克耳边说道。 Eric looked at a watch, 3.15, the distance 5 o'clock rush hour, is this purchase case final bidding time, be is only less than two hours. 艾瑞克看了一眼手表,3.15分,距离5点钟下班时间,同时也是这次收购案最后的竞标时间只有不到两个小时。 At this time, Redstone will offer from 6 300 million directly increases to 6 500 million USD, the intention that finally wrestled was truly obvious, what what a pity was, Viacom did not know in the Eric hand from beginning to end many chips, that in the Eric hand reached as high as in front of 8 billion USD enormous capitals, Viacom was eventually impossible to win less than 7 billion USD limits. 这时候,雷石东直接将报价从63亿增加到65亿美元,最后一搏的意图确实明显,可惜的是,维亚康姆自始至终都不知道艾瑞克手中到底有多少筹码,在艾瑞克手中那笔高达80亿美元的庞大资金面前,维亚康姆不足70亿美元的极限终究不可能获得胜利。 After discussing. The Firefly aspect added 100 million USD quickly, pushed high the price to 6 600 million. 商讨一番之后。萤火虫方面很快加了一亿美元,将价格推高到了66亿。 After the Viacom purchase team hears the Firefly offer, presented the short tumult, then to Disney aspect cry barley. Afterward. Redstone leads these people hastily to leave. 维亚康姆的收购团队听到萤火虫报价之后,出现了短暂的骚动,然后向迪斯尼方面请求暂停。随后。雷石东带着那些人匆匆离开。 Crossed for a half hour, Redstone led own main assistant to return to the conference room, Eric to see that Redstone that side person has been short of one less than half. 足足过了半个小时,雷石东才带着自己的主要副手回到了会议室,艾瑞克一眼就看到雷石东那边的人少了一小半。 „Redstone loudly quarrelled with several other shareholders, I estimated that 6 600 million USD have exceeded the psychological limits of other Viacom shareholders,” just left Chris that quickly comes back to Eric and Bernie Sanders said in a low voice: The shareholder who „that part and Redstone break off noisily left. Still publicizes in the entrance outside reporter told that cannot support Redstone again, if Redstone acts willfully, they will sue Redstone to abuse the authority. Therefore, if then Redstone continues to offer, Viacom is also very difficult to complete this purchase.” “雷石东跟其他几位股东大吵了一架,我估计66亿美元就已经超过了维亚康姆其他股东的心理极限,”刚刚离开又很快回来的克里斯对艾瑞克和伯尼桑德斯低声道:“那部分与雷石东闹掰的股东已经离开了。还在大门口公开向外面的记者表示不会再支持雷石东,如果雷石东一意孤行,他们将起诉雷石东滥用职权。所以,接下来如果雷石东继续报价,维亚康姆也很难完成这次收购。” Eric looked at not far away Michael Eisner, asked: „Disney knew the news” 艾瑞克看了眼不远处的迈克尔艾斯纳,问道:“迪斯尼这边知道消息了吗” Chris understands what Eric asked was the Disney's shareholder, the Disney management has favored Viacom, if knew that this news, will possibly conceal to the shareholders: „I have made people disclose that news to the Disney's shareholder representative, they definitely knows should make what kind of choice.” Here, the smiling face that Chris revealed a congratulation, patted the racket to say on the Eric shoulder gently: „Therefore, Eric, Disney was your.” 克里斯明白艾瑞克问的是迪斯尼的股东,迪斯尼管理层一直倾向于维亚康姆,如果得知这个消息,很可能会向股东们隐瞒:“我已经让人将消息透露给迪斯尼的股东代表了,他们肯定知道该做出怎样的选择。”说到这里,克里斯露出一个祝贺的笑容,轻轻在艾瑞克肩膀上拍了拍道:“所以,艾瑞克,迪斯尼是你的了。” Eric relaxed in the moral nature finally, a half year of arrangement, a half year of busy , the entire 12 months, settles down finally. 艾瑞克终于在心底松了一口气,半年的筹备,半年的忙碌,整整12个月,总算尘埃落定。 Such that the Viacom representative quick such as Chris expects, indicated that gives up this bid. 维亚康姆的代表很快如克里斯所料的那样,表示放弃这次竞购。 A Redstone face is not willingly. Looked that is similar to the Eric vision wants entire to swallow down him. Although has a mind to promote the price to 7 billion USD, although but angry, Redstone has not actually lost the reason, he knows this time not several years ago purchases Viacom maliciously. That his purchase chip country entertainment company completely is the personal property, he has the absolute domination, but this time, Viacom stock not in his hands, if increases price forcefully, cannot obtain in situation that other shareholders support. Finally will be announced bidding is invalid. 雷石东一脸的不甘心。看向艾瑞克的目光如同想要将他整个吞下去。虽然有心将价格提升到70亿美元,但虽然愤怒,雷石东却没有失去理智,他知道这次不像几年前恶意收购维亚康姆。那一次他的收购筹码国家娱乐公司完全是个人财产,他拥有绝对的控制权,但这一次,维亚康姆的股份并不在他一个人手中,如果强行加价,得不到其他股东支持的情况下。最后还是会被宣布竞标无效。 Had filled confidence Michael Eisner, when the Viacom aspect cry barley felt that restless, hears Viacom to give up purchasing, the Michael Eisner complexion instantaneously becomes somewhat pale, the whole person raises a huge angry and dilutedness. 原本充满了信心的迈克尔艾斯纳在维亚康姆方面请求暂停的时候就感觉到了不安,听到维亚康姆放弃收购,迈克尔艾斯纳的脸色瞬间变得有些苍白,整个人升起一股巨大的愤怒和无力感。 Sits sees this response in Michael Eisner Frank Wells, has the work of initiative Michael Eisner, to set out to announce Firefly this result. 坐在迈克尔艾斯纳身边的弗兰克威尔斯看到他这种反应,只好主动迈克尔艾斯纳的工作,起身宣布萤火虫这次结果。 Although the thoughts vary, but after the result comes out, in the conference room broke out the applause, Redstone led own subordinate to leave, Michael Eisner that restored not silently quickly deeply looked at Eric, spoke several words to Frank Wells in a soft voice, set out to go out of the conference room, Disney's that several shareholder representatives walked to extend the congratulation to Eric actually intimately. 虽然心思各异,但结果出炉之后,会议室里还是响起了掌声,雷石东带着自己的手下一言不发地很快离开,恢复过来的迈克尔艾斯纳深深看了眼艾瑞克,向弗兰克威尔斯轻声说了几句话,也起身走出了会议室,倒是迪斯尼的那几位股东代表亲热地走过来向艾瑞克表示祝贺。 Outside the Disney Headquarters building, leaves that quarter to start from some Viacom shareholders, all reporters guessed that this bidding result, in a while, Redstone had the person to leave, has made the proof for the bidding result. 迪斯尼总部大楼外,从维亚康姆部分股东离开那刻开始,所有记者都已经猜测出了这次竞标的结果,没过多久,雷石东带人离开,更是为竞标结果做出了证明。 However, the Firefly team because of needs with the Disney management signature related contract, to cross for one hour, has not come out. 不过,萤火虫团队因为需要与迪斯尼管理层签署相关的合约,足足过了了一个小时,都没有出来。 „Will not leave from the back door” “不会是从后门离开了吧” „Firefly affirmed that the hope can expand this purchase the influence, how possibly to leave from the back door, this is not the scandal.” “萤火虫肯定希望能够扩大这次收购的影响力,怎么可能从后门离开,这又不是什么丑闻。” „You thought that the knockdown price can be many” “你觉得成交价格会是多少” „6 500 million about, my schoolmate works in Wall Street, I have inquired to him, he told me.” “65亿左右吧,我的一个同学在华尔街工作,我向他打听过,他告诉我的。” Elizabeth hears whooping of surrounding colleague, lowered the head has inspected camera and sound recording silently. In this time, is not knowing that was who shouted came out. Elizabeth gains ground hastily, saw the Disney Headquarters entrance, the security immediately organizes the human wall, the middle-aged person who 78 ages varied crowded around a 20 over youth to walk to here. 伊丽莎白听到周围同行的议论纷纷,低头默默地检查了一遍相机和录音器。正在这时,不知道是谁喊了一句出来了。伊丽莎白连忙抬起头,一眼就看到迪斯尼总部的大门口,保安迅速组织起了人墙,78个年龄各异的中年人簇拥着一个20出头的青年向这边走来。 The reporter group starts to be in a tumult, Elizabeth also hastily makes an effort to push forward, perhaps is the luck is quite good, Elizabeth pushed unexpectedly forefront the crowd. 记者群开始骚动,伊丽莎白也连忙用力向前挤去,或许是运气比较好,伊丽莎白竟然挤到了人群最前面。 „9 : 00 am, Firefly will hold the press conference in Headquarters, hopes that everybody when the time comes can visit on time,” Eric said several briefly. Then hints the security to push the crowd. “明天上午九点,萤火虫会在总部召开新闻发布会,希望大家到时候能够准时光临,”艾瑞克简短地说了几句。便示意安保挤开人群。 Elizabeth just held up camera to strike with force several pictures to Eric, saw that Eric said that must leave. 伊丽莎白刚刚举起相机对着艾瑞克猛拍了几张照片,就看到艾瑞克已经说完,就要离开。 The reporters of troop are certainly impossible to satisfy this answer, they waited entire the day. For the earliest possible time receives some news, therefore, the Eric footsteps have not lifted, the crowd erupts a fierce momentum on as if one of the bang, had encircled to Eric and the others. 大群的记者当然不可能满意这个答复,他们等了整整一天。为的就是第一时间获得些消息,因此,艾瑞克脚步还没有抬起,人群就仿佛轰的一下爆发出一阵剧烈的冲力,向艾瑞克等人围了上去。 „” “啊” Because Elizabeth the hand lifts the camera reason. The center of gravity uppers shift, by chance is stepped on that moment that the crowd catches up has put one's foot down the heel, falls down instantaneously forward, camera Pā falls in broken pieces, the whole person also exudes one to call out in alarm. 伊丽莎白因为手举相机的缘故。重心上移,在人群发力的那一刻又恰巧被人踩了一下脚后跟,瞬间向前栽倒过去,相机啪的一声摔得七零八碎,整个人也发出一声惊叫。 Eric saw that a girl of wear cream color windproof coat was pushed down, hints the bodyguard to go forward to save others hastily, if some people were stepped on the wound at this time, that good deed turned into the misdemeanor. 艾瑞克看到一个穿着米黄色风衣的女郎被挤倒,连忙示意保镖上前救人,要是这个时候有人被踩伤,那好事就变成坏事了。 Is good somewhat is sane because of the reporter group, after hearing to have the woman calls out in alarm, realized that had the accident. Crowded strength weak many, side the Eric two bodyguards have supported by the arm Elizabeth agily, takes advantage of opportunity to protect among Eric one line of walks toward the parking lot. 好在记者群还有些理智,听到有女人惊叫之后,就意识到发生了意外。拥挤的力道弱了不少,艾瑞克身边的两个保镖利索地将伊丽莎白搀了起来,顺势护在艾瑞克一行人当中向停车场走去。 „camera, my camera,” Elizabeth sobers from the short fear, camera of discovery front disappears, turns around to behind to look hastily. That Canon camera is the property of newspaper office, value more than 5000 USD, arrive at the time editor-in-chief also specially to confess that she uses carefully, if did not have. She disburses money to compensate, she two months of work may not have. “相机,我的相机,”伊丽莎白从短暂的恐惧中清醒过来,就发现胸前的相机不见了,连忙转身向身后看去。那款佳能相机是报社的资产,价值5000多美元,来到时候主编还特意交代她小心使用,要是没了。她就得自己出钱赔偿,那她两个多月的工作可就没了。 The powerful big hand has held on Elizabeth that wanted to rush to backward immediately: „Young lady, waits for me to pick, now we first withdraw to say again.” 一直有力的大手立刻拉住了想要向后奔去的伊丽莎白:“小姐,等下我会让人去捡回来的,现在我们还是先脱身再说吧。” Elizabeth looked at the eye to draw own youth. Also looked at behind crowd, some obey the strength of youth helplessly, arrives at the parking lot together, sneaked in black car with the opposite party. 伊丽莎白看了眼拉着自己的青年。又看了看身后的人群,有些不知所措地顺从青年的力道,一起来到停车场,跟着对方钻进了一辆黑色轿车。 „Carter, helping just that young lady look for her camera, probably in that place that she threw down.” After Eric completes, said to the front bodyguard. “卡特,帮刚刚那位小姐找一下她的相机,好像在她摔倒的那个地方。”艾瑞克做好之后,对前排的保镖说道。 „Good, Mr. Williams,” bodyguard said that took up intercom to say several to outside. “好的,威廉姆斯先生,”保镖说完,拿起对讲机对外面说了几句。 car starts slowly, some little time, Elizabeth understood comes own situation, muddleheaded, she sat side Eric Williams unexpectedly. 汽车缓缓发动,好一会儿,伊丽莎白才明白了过来自己的处境,稀里糊涂的,她竟然坐在了艾瑞克威廉姆斯身边。 This discovery made Elizabeth forget on the knee instantaneously because of the ache of tumbling transmitting, the split vision glanced eye youth, discovered that the opposite party was also sizing up itself, this made her more cramped, lifted the hand, wanted to reorganize own hair, actually wants to appear too artificial like this, finally gently has put down the hand. 这个发现让伊丽莎白瞬间忘记了膝盖上因为跌倒而传来的疼痛,余光瞟了眼身旁的青年,发现对方也在打量自己,这让她变得更加局促,抬了抬手,想要整理一下自己的头发,却又想这样会不会显得太做作,最后还是轻轻放下了手。 Eric is taking a look at petite woman, a black short hair, the bridge of the nose is stiff, the eye is very big, the bilabial is slightly thin, is having an unusual sex appeal. 艾瑞克打量着身边的娇小女人,一头黑色短发,鼻梁挺直,眼睛很大,双唇略薄,带着一丝异样的性感。 „Can smile” Eric to ask suddenly. “可以笑一下吗”艾瑞克突然问道。 Elizabeth has gawked the moment, responded: „Mr. Williams, you are speaking to me” 伊丽莎白愣了片刻,才反应过来:“威廉姆斯先生,你是在跟我说话” Sees the opposite party to turn head to oneself, Eric was more definite several points, repeatedly said: „Can smile” 看到对方扭过头面向自己,艾瑞克就更加确定了几分,重复道:“可以笑一下吗” „Oh,” Elizabeth does not dare to look straight ahead the Eric edges and corners distinct charming face, somewhat slightly feels inferior nods, the pursing the lips corner/horn, pulls to wipe the smile. “嗯嗯,”伊丽莎白不敢直视艾瑞克棱角分明的帅气脸庞,有些小自卑地点点头,抿起嘴角,扯出一抹微笑。 Looks at front that symbolic badly bad smiling face, Eric also has smiled, simultaneously determined one do not have the admitting mistakes person: „Some people had said you smile always seems like having any bad idea” 看着面前那种标志性的坏坏笑容,艾瑞克也笑了起来,同时确定自己没有认错人:“有人说过你笑的时候总是像在打什么坏主意” Elizabeth nods subconsciously, shakes the head fiercely: „Does not have, I do not have.” 伊丽莎白下意识点点头,又猛地摇头:“没,我没有。” Eric looks at the appearance that the girl feels helpless, has smiled several, said: „I have not known your name” 艾瑞克看着女郎不知所措的模样,又笑了几下,才说道:“我还不知道你的名字呢” „Oh, hello, Mr. Williams, I called Elizabeth Fey,” Elizabeth politeness introduction said. “哦,你好,威廉姆斯先生,我叫伊丽莎白菲,”伊丽莎白礼貌地介绍道。 Eric continues to ask: „Your middle I just also knew that Elizabeth, will make to mix you.” 艾瑞克继续问道:“你的中间名呢我刚好也认识一个伊丽莎白,会把你们两个弄混的。” „You can call me Tina, my full name is Elizabeth Tina Fey.” “你可以叫我蒂娜,我的全名是伊丽莎白蒂娜菲。” Really is Tina Fey. 果然是蒂娜菲啊。 Eric felt that the matter becomes very interesting: „How to remember to be the reporter” 艾瑞克感觉事情变得非常有趣:“怎么会想起做记者的” „My middle school time threw the article to newspaper, the university had then read the department of journalism,” Tina Fey thought that Eric this issue was somewhat strange, replied earnestly. “我中学的时候就向报纸上投过文章,大学便念了新闻系,”蒂娜菲觉得艾瑞克这个问题有些奇怪,还是认真地回答道。 „You have not thought makes other” “难道你就没有想过做其他的” „Has, what I register for is the play of University of Virginia is specialized, has not been accepted.” “有啊,我报考的是弗吉尼亚大学的戏剧专业,没考上。” „This may really be regrettable,” Eric shakes the head saying that in the original space and time Tina Fey or screenwriter several good works, Eric has looked at opposite party Mean Girls, TV series 30 Rock.
