Eric and Steve Case discussed with frequent contact a day, has not reached too many agreements until the rush hour, can only the next day continue to discuss. 艾瑞克与史蒂夫.凯斯你来我往地谈了一天,直到下班时间都没有达成太多协议,只能第二天继续谈。 Because Chris invited itself to go to the home to have the supper, after getting off work, Eric then sent accompanying, has seated Chris car. 因为克里斯邀请自己去家里吃晚餐,下班之后,艾瑞克便打发走了随从,坐进了克里斯的汽车。 „Cannot think really that the entire North America network user has surpassed 1.5 million, I also think that must wait for some time, after” and other Chris started car, Eric somewhat sigh with emotion said that he planned after and other Clinton came to power, today some projects in start plan, sees after AOL some data, thought that project at heart early is not suitably suitable late. “真想不到,整个北美的网络用户已经超过150万了,我还以为要等一段时间,”等克里斯发动汽车之后,艾瑞克才有些感慨地说道,他打算等克林顿上台之后,在启动计划中的一些项目,今天看到关于美国在线的一些数据之后,还是觉得心里的项目宜早不宜迟。 Although 1.5 million this digit and later generation counted by the 100 million Internet users absolutely do not have the commeasurability, but did not have the popular age in this personal computer, is a very considerable digit. Moreover, while number of users quite few times ahead of time carries on the layout, waits for the Internet user greatly eruption time, even can meet creation industrial criterion the rank. 虽然150万这个数字与后世数以亿计的上网人数完全没有可比性,但在这个个人计算机还没有普及的年代,已经是非常可观的一个数字。而且,趁使用人数比较少的时候提前进行布局,等上网用户大爆发的时候,甚至可以达到创造行业标准的级别。 Eric vaguely remembers a few words, probably is the first-rate enterprise decides the standard and second-class enterprise to sell the technologies and four class enterprises to make the product by the brand and third-class enterprise. These four words are similar to a profession Pyramid, exceed is in the peak in Pyramid, the interests that gets are higher, takes the smartphone in original space and time, had Apple and Samsung of two cell phone manufacturers complete set technical standard has blown wind smartphone profit 90%, but these always clamor in the disposition hang oneself the dozen of Apple domestic cell phone manufacturer actually only to attain 1% benefits, the chip that because they used was United States, screen were Japan, camera were South Korea. Occasionally does unclear sleep severe ‚Austenite 304 stainless steel’ laugh uproariously, originally is also only side the people the common ordinary tableware material. 艾瑞克依稀记得一句话,好像是一流企业定标准、二流企业靠品牌、三流企业卖技术、四流的企业做产品。这四句话如同一个行业金字塔,越处于金字塔的顶端,获得的利益越高,就拿原时空中的智能手机来说,拥有全套技术标准的苹果和三星两家手机厂商刮风了智能手机利润的90,而那些总是叫嚣在配置上吊打苹果的国产手机厂商却只能拿到1的利益,因为他们采用的芯片是美国的、屏幕是日本的、摄像头是韩国的。偶尔搞出一个让人不明觉厉的‘奥氏体304不锈钢’噱头,原来也只是人们身边常见的普通餐具材。 Chris does not know that the psychological activity of Eric, hears the Eric words. Asking: „What?” 克里斯并不知道艾瑞克的心理活动,听到艾瑞克的话。问道:“等什么？” „Some of some of my ideas, planned that and other network development implement some time again, now looked like does not need to wait, the earlier the better.” “我心里有一些想法,本来打算等网络发展一段时间再实施,现在看来不用等了,还是越早越好。” Chris um, has depended toward the roadside, making one dash, but red BMW hood, somewhat is obviously absent-minded. 克里斯嗯了一声,朝路边靠了靠,让过一辆飞奔而过的红色宝马敞篷,明显有些心不在焉。 „Did you move?” Eric looked at outside guidepost. He remembers that previous Chris and Emily also live in Manhattan the city, now actually already quickly to Central Park. “你们搬家了？”艾瑞克看了看外面的路标。他记得上次克里斯和艾米丽还住在曼哈顿中城区,现在却已经快到中央公园了。 „We were going to the east district to buy an apartment a while ago. In the third main road 72 streets.” “我们前段时间在上东区买了一套公寓。就在第三大道72街。” „Just, my thereby also one set of villa, last year and Drew bought together, has not lived.” Eric was saying, suddenly remembers anything, asked: „Do not marry?” “刚好,我在那附近也有一套别墅,去年和德鲁一起买的,还没住过。”艾瑞克说着,突然想起什么,问道:“你们不会是要结婚了吧？” Chris shook the head: „Emily wants to wait again for two years, before her 30 year, does not plan to marry.” 克里斯摇了摇头:“艾米丽想再等两年,她三十岁之前不打算结婚。” The Eric thoughts are quite sensitive, this also calculates that the talkative Chris words have been short suddenly, he guessed quickly that perhaps was related with this supper. 艾瑞克心思还是比较敏感的,这一路原本还算健谈的克里斯话语突然少了很多,他很快猜测到,或许跟这次晚餐有关。 Chris stops a parking lot car in high-rise apartment, they went to the elevator together, quickly to the floor that the Chris new home was. 克里斯将汽车停在一栋高层公寓的停车场,两人一起上了电梯,很快到了克里斯新家所在的楼层。 Emily of home appearance opens the door. Hugged with Eric warmly under: „Eric, sees you very much happily.” 一身居家打扮的艾米丽打开门。热情地与艾瑞克拥抱了下:“艾瑞克,很高兴又见到你。” „I am also,” Eric loosens Emily. Saying with a smile: „I may not have belt red wine to come.” “我也是,”艾瑞克松开艾米丽。笑道:“不过我可没有带红酒过来。” „Has not related, please enter,” Emily let the apartment Eric, not only sympathized to help Eric hang the windproof coat, but also brought on oneself a slipper to exchange to Eric. “没关系,请进吧,”艾米丽将艾瑞克让进了公寓,不但体贴地帮艾瑞克挂好风衣,还亲自取了一双拖鞋给艾瑞克换上。 Eric thought that this young couple somewhat seems to be unusual, although Emily continuously very open enthusiasm. But today somewhat seems to be excessive. 艾瑞克心想这小两口似乎都有些反常啊,艾米丽虽然一直非常开朗热情。但今天似乎有些过头了。 „Eric, you sit first. Supper quickly good,” after Emily helped Eric but actually the coffee said that also signaled with the eyes toward Chris: „Can Chris, come to help me one?” “艾瑞克,你先坐吧。晚餐很快就好,”艾米丽帮艾瑞克倒了咖啡之后说道,又朝克里斯使了个眼色:“克里斯,可以过来帮我一下吗？” Chris somewhat reluctantly with near kitchen. 克里斯有些无奈地跟近了厨房。 Eric looked at one in the direction of kitchen, then has not expressed many curiosity, but takes up the remote control on tea table to turn on the television at will, this couple has the words of any matter in any case, waits definitely to meet to say. 艾瑞克只是朝厨房的方向看了一眼,便没有表示更多的好奇,而是随意拿起茶几上的遥控器打开电视,反正这两口子有什么事情的话,等下肯定会自己说出来。 In the kitchen, Emily takes heat insulation glove, opened the oven to look, closed the cover, in a low voice asked: „Did you tell him?” 厨房里,艾米丽带上隔热手套,打开烤箱看了看,又合上盖子,才低声问道:“你跟他说了没有？” The Chris booth lets go: „This was too awkward, how did you make me say?” 克里斯摊摊手:“这太尴尬了,你让我怎么说啊？” „To be how awkward, this is a very normal matter,” some Emily vitalities stared boyfriend one eyes: „You...... You are not willing to help me.” “怎么会尴尬呢,这是一件很正常的事情,”艾米丽有些生气地瞪了男友一眼:“你……你就是不愿意帮我。” „I , if not want to help you, will not invite Eric to come, remaining you said that” Chris was saying, takes up the kitchen knife, wants to help Emily cut the onion. “我要是不想帮你,就不会邀请艾瑞克过来了,剩下的你自己说吧,”克里斯说着,拿起菜刀,想要帮艾米丽切洋葱。 Emily snatched the kitchen knife panting in indignation: „Good, I said that I said that does not need you to help.” 艾米丽气呼呼地将菜刀抢了过来:“好,我自己说就我自己说,不用你帮。” ...... …… „That night, scared me, especially finally that agricultural tractor pounds on the television screen time, I think really the television has broken to pieces, Eric, how does this do?” Supper time, Emily was recalling has the matter of screen preview about a while ago «Twister», somewhat small excited asking. “那天晚上,真的把我吓坏了呢,特别是最后那台农用拖拉机砸到电视屏幕上的时候,我真的就以为电视机碎了,艾瑞克,这到底是怎么做出来的？”晚餐的时候,艾米丽回忆着关于前段时间《龙卷风》出屏预告片的事情,有些小激动的问道。 „Is only a simple visual effect,” Eric said the principle simply, in the expression too many self-satisfacations, after all, the present 3D cinematic effect cannot be this degree . Moreover the visual effect will shock, the present 3D movie technology is not very mature, the current 3D eyeglasses will wear for a long time will have created very serious eye strain, therefore the 3D technology majority of can only utilize on the short film now. “只是一个简单的视觉效果而已,”艾瑞克将原理简单的说了一遍,语气里并没有太多的得意,毕竟,现在的3d电影效果已经能够达到这种程度,而且视觉效果会更加震撼,不过现在的3d电影技术还不够成熟,目前的3d眼镜戴久了会造成很严重的视觉疲劳,所以现在3d技术大部分只能运用在短片上。 Asking that Emily anticipates: „I remember that the «Twister» show time is on June 5, can that also very long Oh, Firefly carry on the point to reflect ahead of time?” 艾米丽期待的问道:“我记得《龙卷风》上映时间是6月5号吧,那还要很久哦,萤火虫会提前进行点映吗？” „Naturally, when the time comes I will make the person deliver two tickets to come to you,” Eric replied with a smile. “当然,到时候我会让人给你们送两张票过来,”艾瑞克笑着答道。 Emily expressed gratitude, then, the atmosphere in dining room falls into the short stop, a moment later, Emily has the courage finally, said: „Eric, now, that...... In Firefly investment company also has very big fund?” 艾米丽道了声谢,然后,餐厅里的气氛陷入短暂的停顿,片刻之后,艾米丽终于鼓起勇气,道:“艾瑞克,现在,那个……萤火虫投资公司手里还有很大一笔资金吧？” Eric looked at the eye to lower the head to disguise to eat the soup Chris, said with a smile: „This should Chris be clearer than me?” 艾瑞克看了眼低头假装喝汤的克里斯,笑道:“这个克里斯应该比我更清楚吧？” Hears these words. Chris was choked immediately, extracts several paper towel to turn around hastily. 听到这句话。克里斯顿时被呛了一下,连忙抽出几张纸巾转过身去。 Eric almost also understood, puts down the knife and fork in hand simply. Said earnestly: „Emily, had any matter to say directly was good, among us did not need these smalltalk, this appears we will be very instead unfamiliar.” 艾瑞克差不多也明白了一下,索性放下手中的刀叉。认真地说道:“艾米丽,有什么事情直接说就好了,我们之间并不需要这些客套的,这样反而会显得我们很生疏。” These words somewhat said Emily to be instead embarrassed: „Actually, is the apparel company of our family/home......” 这句话说得艾米丽反而有些不好意思:“其实,是我们家的服装公司……” „Oh, I thought that” Eric shows look suddenly immediately. He remembers quickly the two years ago Thanksgiving first time when Jeffrey sees Chris and Emily scene, at that time Chris still worked in Morgan Stanley. Just responsibly acts Emily family the listing work of apparel company, because the Emily father has made a false report the material of apparel company, caused listing Huang Diao: „I remember that last year I had also told you, if makes money in the Pe­tro­leum market. Apparel company that I will invest your family, was sorry really that I almost this matter forgetting, how many funds you have now needed?” “哦,我想起来了,”艾瑞克立刻露出恍然的神色。他很快想起两年前的感恩节第一次在杰弗里家见到克里斯和艾米丽时的场景,那时候克里斯还在摩根士丹利工作。刚好负责代理艾米丽家族的服装公司的上市工作,因为艾米丽父亲虚报了服装公司的资料,导致上市黄掉了:“我记得去年我还跟你说过,如果在期货市场赚钱的话。我会投资你家的服装公司,真抱歉,我差点将这件事给忘了,你们现在需要多少资金？” Emily glanced a boyfriend, cautiously stretches out a finger: „One...... 100 million?” 艾米丽瞟了眼男友,才小心翼翼地伸出一根手指:“一……一亿？” Chris turns head to stare immediately, Emily changes a statement immediately: „Actually, 60 million also yes.” 克里斯立刻扭头瞪了过来,艾米丽立刻改口:“其实,60000000也是可以的。” Eric knows that the Chris disposition said the light point is too serious, said that serious, is old-fashioned. Although in the hand is grasping the Firefly large amounts of funds, thought that draws the investment to appear for own girlfriend family firm the insufficient specialty, will therefore flash before that awkward look. 艾瑞克知道克里斯的性格说轻点就是太一本正经,说严重一点,就是古板。虽然手中掌握着萤火虫的大量资金,却觉得为自己女友家族企业拉投资会显得不够专业,因此才会闪现出那种尴尬神色。 After purchasing Disney. Eric the 8 billion USD fund that obtained by illegal purchase from last year Persian Gulf War also remaining about 1.5 billion, but after purchase Disney, Firefly Pictures fund can also realize self-sufficiently, therefore, he planned made other investments with this sum of money. 收购迪斯尼之后。艾瑞克从去年海湾战争中套取的八十亿美元资金还剩下1500000000左右,而收购迪斯尼之后,萤火虫影业本身的资金也能够实现自给自足,因此,他本就打算用这笔钱做其他投资。 „This,” Eric thinks. Said with a smile: „In the recent several days I will stay in New York, you find time to prepare a material to me. After I have looked, decision is invests 60 million again or 100 million, ok?” “这样吧,”艾瑞克想了想。笑着说道:“最近几天我都会呆在纽约,你抽空准备一份材料给我。我看过之后,再决定是投资60000000还是一亿,行吗？” „Naturally does not have the issue,” on the Emily face is bringing an excitement, almost will want to set out immediately, goes already to prepare the good material to take, but she realized quickly the present situation not too such does suitably. “当然没问题,”艾米丽脸上带着一丝兴奋,几乎想要立刻起身,去将早就准备好的资料拿出来,不过她很快意识到现在的场合不太适合这么做。 Ate the supper, Eric the suggestion that has rejected Chris and Emily stays overnight, Chris has delivered to downstairs Eric, they walked shoulder to shoulder on the cartoon lively street. 吃过晚餐,艾瑞克拒绝了克里斯和艾米丽留宿的建议,克里斯一直将艾瑞克送到了楼下,两人并肩走在漫画顿繁华的街道上。 „I had thought I am very lucky, if has not met Jeffrey by chance, has run into you, perhaps I will not have the present result, I did not have the family member in this world, I continuously Jeffrey, when the elder regards,” Eric is looking at the roadside neon light advertisement, somewhat sobbed says with emotion, he still remembered for several years ago, in oneself being prompted by a sudden impulse geostatic pressure all gambling stakes wanted to manufacture «Home Alone», if just did not bump into Jeffrey and his shoots team, his initially entered the Hollywood young new military recruits, even if can pull up a small and crude theatrical troupe, may not. Movie perfect manufacture in memory. “我一直觉得我很幸运,如果不是碰巧遇到了杰弗里,又遇到了你,我或许根本不会有现在的成绩,我在这个世界上已经没有亲人了,我一直将杰弗里当长辈看待,”艾瑞克望着路旁的霓虹灯招牌,有些唏嘘地感慨道,他还记得几年前,自己心血来潮地压上所有赌注想要制作《小鬼当家》,如果不是刚好碰到杰弗里和他的拍摄团队,他一个初入好莱坞的小菜鸟,哪怕能够拉起一个草台班子,也不一定能够将自己。记忆里的电影完美的制作出来。 Chris knows why Eric mentioned these suddenly, Chris had not thought own father and son were the Eric obligation people, he has had self-knowledge very much, similarly, if has not met Eric, he does not know that the father can also buoy up, even, their fathers and sons two cold wars do not know how long will continue. Let alone now, in his hand handles is exceeding the 2 billion USD property, but if he does not have the choice to resign, but has worked in Morgan Stanley, must be able the investment plan of independent operation same level scale, at least also to struggle for ten years: „Actually, we are very lucky.” 克里斯知道艾瑞克为什么突然说起这些,克里斯并没有觉得自己父子俩就是艾瑞克的大恩人,他一直很有自知之明,同样,如果没有遇到艾瑞克,他都不知道父亲还能不能重新振作起来,甚至,他们父子两个的冷战也不知道会持续多久。更何况现在,他手里打理着超过二十亿美元的资产,而他如果没有选择辞职,而是在摩根士丹利一直工作下去,要能够独立运作同等规模的投资项目,至少也要在奋斗十年:“其实,我们都挺幸运的。” Eric smiled: „Yes.” 艾瑞克笑了笑:“是啊。” Chris inserts both hands in windproof coat pocket, said: „Was right, this invests you to feel relieved that the Emily father has retired, the present is Emily in governing the apparel company, good that in the two years develops, if not two years ago that matter, the company goes on the market is also the easy matter.” 克里斯将双手插在风衣口袋里,说道:“对了,这笔投资你可以放心,那个,艾米丽的父亲已经退休了,现在是艾米丽在掌管服装公司,这两年发展的不错,如果不是两年前那件事,公司重新上市也是轻而易举的事情。” „That concrete investment amount reached an agreement on you and Emily, for example a while goes back, on the bed,” Eric cracked a joke. “那具体投资金额就你和艾米丽谈好了,比如一会儿回去,在床上,”艾瑞克开了个玩笑。 „You with the attention, I try not to meddle,” Chris smiled: „Was right, today comes back, you said that you did have the idea about computer network?” “还是你拿注意吧,我尽量不插手,”克里斯笑了笑:“对了,今天回来的时候,你说你心里已经有了一些关于计算机网络的想法？” „Cannot think that you still remember these.” “想不到你还记得这些。” „Was good, do not ridicule me, what idea, said that looks?” “好了,你就别揶揄我了,都什么样的想法,说说看？” Eric looked at all around, referred to the cafe in roadside saying: „If you, we are not going to chat a while anxiously, that set of villa that I buy in front, but is somewhat lonely, before is only today, informing under the household management company to clean.” 艾瑞克看了看四周,指了指路边的一家咖啡厅道:“如果你不急着回去的话,我们进去聊一会儿吧,我买的那套别墅就在前面,不过里面有些冷清,只是今天来之前,通知了下家政公司打扫了一番。” Chris nodded, they walked the cafe in going in roadside shoulder to shoulder, called two coffee, by the window has done in the position. 克里斯点了点头,两人并肩走了进去路边的咖啡厅,叫了两杯咖啡,在靠窗的位置做了下来。 Eric reorganized under the train of thought that said: „Was a pity that here does not have the notebook, or said that is more convenient, should you study the material of computer these days?” 艾瑞克整理了下思绪,才说道:“可惜这里没有笔记本电脑,要不说起来更方便一些,你这段时间应该研究过计算机的资料吧？” „Un, you said directly well, I should be able to understand,” Chris said. “嗯,你直接说就好,我应该能听得懂,”克里斯道。 „Actually, all my ideas, establish in the computer network wide scope popular engineering department, but, just like before me, said that I thought that this is a time development trend, the possibility is very big . Moreover, even if lost, I will not lose am too many.” “其实,我的所有想法,都建立在计算机网络大范围普及的技术处,不过,正如我之前说的,我个人觉得这是一个时代发展趋势,可能性很大,而且,就算真的赌输了,我也不会损失太多。” Chris echoes saying: „Actually I also felt that now your judgment was very reasonable, in the past few days, I discovered that Emily on using the Apple notebook looked at the dress designing chart, moreover these design drawings with the software design, this even could hardly be imagined several years ago the matter . Moreover, now the price of personal computer is not too expensive, the wages of average person 1-2 months can buy one, if the computer hardware can present maintained fast growing, the popularization of personal computer was sooner or later matter.” 克里斯附和道:“其实我现在也感觉你的判断很有道理,前些天,我就发现艾米丽在用苹果的笔记本电脑上看服装设计图,而且那些设计图都是用软件设计出来的,这在几年前甚至都是不可想象的事情,而且,现在个人计算机的价格也不算太贵,普通人一两个月的工资就能够买一台,如果计算机硬件能够现在的保持高速增长的话,个人计算机的普及是迟早的事情。” „Un, returns to computer network to come up, I at present altogether three ideas,” Eric, adds: „This is I am using in the process of computer to ponder over daily. Moreover, I planned become three companies have operated separately these three ideas, first, was tentative plan about graphical interface browser.” “嗯,还是回到计算机网络上来,我目前一共有三个想法,”艾瑞克顿了顿,还是补充道:“这是我在日常使用电脑的过程中琢磨出来的。而且,我打算分别成了三家公司运作这三个想法,首先,是一个关于图形界面浏览器的设想。” „Graphical interface browser?” Chris has duplicated a Eric glossary. “图形界面浏览器？”克里斯重复了一遍艾瑞克的词汇。 „Is one type...... The graph version of browsing web-based tool,” Eric thinks that explained: „Like this contrasted your just knows, the internet tool that we currently use, was similar to the several years ago DOS operating systems, needed the numerous and diverse instructions to operate, was not convenient, but I conceived the graphical interface browser, then presents by the simple graphical interface situation the present internet tool, was similar to the Microsoft Windows windows operating system, you know, before the window appeared, used the personal computer often was quite specialized technical personnel, but after the window appeared, even if were the average person, can use the personal computer. But I conceive the graphical interface browser, is one type enables the average person also to glance over the computer network conveniently ‚Windows tool’.” ( to be continued ) “就是一种……浏览网络工具的图形版,”艾瑞克想了想,解释道:“这样对比一下你就知道了,我们现在使用的上网工具,类似于几年前的dos操作系统,需要繁杂的指令才能运行,非常不方便,而我设想中的图形界面浏览器,便是将现在的上网工具以简单的图形界面形势呈现出来,如同微软的windows视窗操作系统,你知道,在视窗系统出现之前,使用个人计算机的往往是比较专业的技术人员,而视窗系统出现之后,哪怕是普通人,也可以使用个人计算机。而我设想中的图形界面浏览器,便是一种让普通人也可以便捷浏览计算机网络的‘视窗工具’。”(未完待续)
