Eric has alit from the airplane, just about to has several to accompany to leave the airport, then saw that wears Elizabeth of khaki windproof coat to draw a simple suitcase to beckon toward him, then walked quickly. 艾瑞克下了飞机,刚要带着几位随从离开机场,便看到身穿卡其色风衣的伊丽莎白拉着一个简单的行李箱朝他招了招手,然后快步走了过来。 After the News Corp functional center shifts to United States, the Murdoch family then settled down in New York, during the holiday, Elizabeth then returned to New York to go with the family member to pass the holiday together. Eric has not thought that so will be skillful at the airport bumps into Elizabeth to return to Los Angeles. 新闻集团的业务中心转移到美国之后,默多克家族便定居在了纽约,节日期间伊丽莎白便回到纽约去与家人一起度过节日。艾瑞克没想到会这么巧在机场碰到伊丽莎白回洛杉矶。 Eric made the bodyguard help Elizabeth receive baggage, asked: „Such quickly came back, how to be many in New York treats some time?” 艾瑞克让保镖帮伊丽莎白接过行李,才问道:“这么快就回来了,怎么不多在纽约待一段时间？” „Stays in New York is not having any meaning, all day went to participate in party, was bored, might as well came back to work,” Elizabeth was saying, looked to Eric: „Said that recently I heard much the matter about Firefly investment on party, what are you making?” “在纽约呆着也没什么意思,整天被去起参加派对,无聊死了,还不如回来工作,”伊丽莎白说着,看向艾瑞克:“说起来,这些日子我在派对上可是听到不少关于萤火虫投资的事情啊,你到底在做什么？” „I planned that breaks up the whole into parts to hide own family property, does not make others too guess correctly me to have how much money easily,” Eric said confidently, even if he did not acknowledge that the person with high aspirations also can definitely guess. “我打算把自己的家底化整为零藏起来,不让别人太轻易就猜出我有多少钱,”艾瑞克坦然地说道,就算他不承认,有心人也肯定能够猜得出来。 Firefly Pictures did not have the means to hide temporarily, was good is big because of the value operation leeway of entertainment industry, let alone Firefly Pictures has not gone on the market, wanted to look up the Firefly Pictures family property is not that easy matter. Some properties of but in Firefly investment hand grasping are actually the obvious exposition on outwardly, for example Cisco, public, so long as pays attention slightly, can look up the Cisco first major stockholder easily is the Firefly investment company. 萤火虫影业暂时是没办法藏起来了,好在娱乐产业的价值操作余地非常大,更何况萤火虫影业也没有上市,想要查到萤火虫影业的家底可不是那么容易的事情。但萤火虫投资手中掌握的一些资产却是明显的暴露在明面上,比如思科,公众只要稍微留心一下,就可以轻易查到思科的第一大股东是萤火虫投资公司。 Now the Cisco market value is also only 2 billion, is too not conspicuous, but the development of Cisco has not deviated the historical track, present Cisco CEO confirmed John Chambers for own next successor. But John Chambers original space and time the biggest hero in Cisco. If then, the Cisco market value will inflate to hundreds of billions USD scales in the future as before, the wealth that Firefly investment grasps was too dazzling. Let alone, in Eric hand also incessantly Cisco this investment, after Forbes ranking that matter. Eric has to make layout for the future ahead of time. 现在思科的市值也只有2000000000,不算太显眼,但思科的发展并没有偏离历史轨道,现在的思科ceo已经确认约翰.钱伯斯为自己的下一任接班人。而约翰.钱伯斯正是将原时空中的思科的最大功臣。那么,如果将来思科市值依旧膨胀到数千亿美元的规模,那萤火虫投资掌握的这笔财富就太刺眼了一些。更何况,艾瑞克手中也不止思科这一笔投资,福布斯排行榜那件事之后。艾瑞克不得不提前为将来做出布局。 After Chris discussed that the Firefly investment company then starts first to process in the hand the Cisco stock. 与克里斯商讨之后,萤火虫投资公司便开始首先处理手中思科的股份。 The Firefly investment company through infuses the fund to several non- listing funds of designation, then phrases some Cisco stocks in Firefly investment hand reverse, in this way, Firefly invested to break up the whole into parts to disperse in the Cisco stock in hand these fund hands quickly. However, because has signed the perfect agreement. After stock shift, the domination of Firefly investment to Cisco has not changed, but middle were many a node. The most direct-viewing performance is in Cisco Board of Directors originally on behalf of director candidate not any change of Firefly investment, as before is that several people. 萤火虫投资公司通过向选定的几家非上市基金注入资金,然后反向收购萤火虫投资手中的部分思科股份,用这种方法,萤火虫投资很快将手中的思科股份化整为零地分散到了这些基金手中。不过,因为签署了完善的协议。股份转移之后,萤火虫投资对思科的控制权并没有改变,只是中间多了一道节点而已。最直观的表现便是思科董事会中原本代表萤火虫投资的董事人选并没有任何改变,依旧是那几个人。 The way of this indirect holding is common in North America, even if General Electric and Exxon Mobil also or Bell telephoned telegram company such colossus. In their shareholder lists basically is one after another well-known foundation and trust investment, the capital management wait/etc. all kinds of investment companies, holds behind the stock genuine owner actually often nobody to know as for these companies. 这种间接持股的方式在北美非常普遍,就算是通用电气、埃克森美孚亦或贝尔电话电报公司这样的庞然大物。它们的股东列表中基本上都是一连串知名不知名的基金会、信托投资、资本管理等等五花八门的投资公司,至于这些公司所持股份背后的真正拥有者却往往无人知晓。 Not is only Cisco, Internet Explorer, Yahoo and Hotmail three companies, the Firefly investment will not invest it from now on again directly, but through foundation and other ways indirect such as development funds. 不但是思科,ie、雅虎和hotmail三家公司,萤火虫投资今后也不会再直接对其进行投资,而是通过基金会等方式间接诸如发展资金。 Elizabeth hears the reply of Eric, cannot bear say with a smile: „Comes compared with Firefly Pictures, that...... What the Cisco stock should not be, how don't you think the also means to hide Firefly Pictures?” 伊丽莎白听到艾瑞克的回答,忍不住笑道:“比起萤火虫影业来,那个……思科的股份应该不算什么吧,你怎么不想办法把萤火虫影业也藏起来？” The Eric booth lets go: „This goal is too big. Only can spend the time to take your time.” 艾瑞克摊摊手:“这个目标太大。只能花时间慢慢来。” „Does not know that you such toss about anything, probably will be afraid others to snatch your thing.” “也不知道你这么折腾什么,好像害怕别人会抢你的东西似的。” Was saying, they arrived at several outside together. Elizabeth toward takes own driver to beckon with the hand, making the opposite party leave, sneaked in his private car with Eric together. 这么说着,两人一起来到了几场外。伊丽莎白朝来接自己的司机摆了摆手,让对方离开,跟着艾瑞克一起钻进了他的座驾。 Eric from other boarded at the same time, then just topic: „I do not fear others to snatch actually, but always considers others frail mind is not? I do not think that some people noticed my money too much were stimulated, then presents an accident.” 艾瑞克从另外一边上了车,接着刚刚的话题道:“我倒是不怕别人抢,但总的照顾别人脆弱的心灵不是？我可不想有人看到我钱太多受到刺激,然后再出现个三长两短的。” Elizabeth has regarded talking nonsense the Eric words obviously. Raised the small fist to hammer on the Eric shoulder, said with a smile: „Your this megalomania.” 伊丽莎白明显将艾瑞克的话当成了胡说八道。举起小拳头在艾瑞克肩膀上锤了下,笑道:“你这个自大狂。” Eric has not dodged the girl superficial small fist. Said: „I must return to Cliff Peak Manor now, do you also go to my there?” 艾瑞克也没有躲闪女郎不痛不痒的小拳头。道:“我现在要回尖角庄园,你也去我那里？” The Elizabeth eye winked several. As if just thought: „Right, I have forgotten this matter, hello, Carter, turns around, first delivers me to return to the Beverly Hills village.” 伊丽莎白眼睛眨了几下。才仿佛刚刚想起来似的:“对啊,我把这件事忘了,喂,卡特,掉头,先送我回贝弗利山庄。” Carter Moon through the rear view mirror inquired that looks to Eric, as following Eric time long bodyguard, his naturally clear Eric and Elizabeth their relations. 卡特.摩恩通过后视镜询问地望向艾瑞克,作为跟随艾瑞克时间较长的保镖,他当然清楚艾瑞克和伊丽莎白两人的关系。 „Continues, returns to Malibu,” Eric beckoned with the hand toward Carter, said to Elizabeth: „I remember that Julia also led the kid to return to her parents there, your houses have not cleaned for a long time, tonight lives in my there.” “继续开吧,回马里布,”艾瑞克朝卡特摆了摆手,又对伊丽莎白道:“我记得茱莉亚也带着小家伙回她父母那里了,你们的宅子好久都没有打扫了,今晚就住我那里吧。” Sees so straightforwardly, Elizabeth elegant face that Eric said slightly some flood red, did intentionally with ease um one, has turned head, single-handed disguised to look at the scenery of out of the window on the glass. 见艾瑞克说的如此直白,伊丽莎白俏脸微微有些泛红,故作轻松地嗯了一声,扭过头,单手支在车窗上假装看起了窗外的风景。 ...... …… Is the thick bathrobe is going out of the bathroom, Elizabeth then remembers own suitcase also at will loses in the villa entrance, before the cheeks slight fever several hours, all anxious advanced on some fellow. 系着厚厚的浴袍走出浴室,伊丽莎白这才想起自己的行李箱还随意丢在别墅门口,脸颊微热地将几个小时前所有的急切都推到了某个家伙身上。 In the afternoon the airplanes under four o'clock, completed certain matters to take a nap a while, at this time is around 9 : 00 pm, the sense of hunger raided, Elizabeth then somewhat scruple went down the building. 下午四点钟下的飞机,做完某些事情又小睡了一会儿,此时已经是晚上九点多,饥饿感袭来,伊丽莎白这才有些迟疑地走下楼。 The light in small living room is shining, walks, the sound of television opens very lowly, Eric at will by sofa, before the body, on the fine aluminum alloy support is putting a black notebook, along with ten fingers of provoking, often sends out slightly clip clop the sound. 小客厅里的灯光亮着,走进去,电视机的声音开得很低,艾瑞克随意地靠在沙发上,身前精致的铝合金支架上放着一台黑色的笔记本电脑,随着十指的挑动,不时发出轻微的哒哒声。 Sees Elizabeth to walk, Eric has referred to glass several on food: „I made the person make midnight snack, just went upstairs to shout you, looked that you have been taking a bath.” 看到伊丽莎白走进来,艾瑞克指了指玻璃几上的食物:“我让人做了夜宵,刚刚上楼喊你,看你已经在洗澡了。” „What are you making?” Elizabeth has not been eating thing anxiously, arrives at Eric behind to lie on the sofa seat back cushion, looks to the notebook screen. “你在做什么？”伊丽莎白没有急着去吃东西,走到艾瑞克身后趴在沙发靠背上,望向笔记本电脑屏幕。 „«Interview with the Vampire» script, a while ago «Startled Sentiment 400 Years of» Box Office and reputation were very good. The movie-making department also came to an arrangement about the cooperation agreement with David Geffen, film screens probably at the end of the year, your side «Buffy the Vampire Slayer» preparation how?” “《夜访吸血鬼》的剧本,前段时间《惊情400年》的票房和口碑都很不错。制片部门也跟大卫.格芬谈妥了合作协议,片子大概年底上映,你们那边的《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》准备的怎么样了？” „If not this matter, I came back at the beginning of the month,” Elizabeth replied: „I have also carried on a Heroine screen test that side New York. Initially suggested according to you that we plan to choose to have the dance background girl, this can shorten the training time, the movement plays shoots also to be relatively relaxed, moreover can catch up to test broadcasting the collection to manufacture before May.” “如果不是这件事,我在月初就回来了,”伊丽莎白答道:“我在纽约那边也进行了一次女主角试镜。按照你当初的建议,我们打算挑选拥有舞蹈底子的女孩子,这样可以缩短训练时间,动作戏拍摄也能相对轻松,而且可以赶在五月份之前将试播集制作出来。” „Selected the candidate?” Eric has struck one line of postils in the script documents, spoke thoughtlessly to ask. “挑中人选了了？”艾瑞克在剧本文档上敲打了一行批注,随口问道。 „Un. Has selected several girls, they will come Los Angeles and here candidate several days later carry on the final screen test together,” Elizabeth stared at the notebook to look at a while, then bored changed to the Eric opposite to sit down, will think of food the tray to place on the knee to eat. “嗯。选中了几个女孩子,她们过几天会来洛杉矶和这边的候选者一起进行最后的试镜,”伊丽莎白盯着笔记本电脑看了一会儿,便无聊地转到艾瑞克对面坐下,将装着食物的托盘放在膝盖上吃了起来。 Eric gently um. Continues to strike in the documents. 艾瑞克轻轻嗯了一声。继续在文档上敲打起来。 „Yeah, finally screen test time you must come, is very pretty girl Oh, after” moment, Elizabeth also said. “哎,最后试镜的时候你要过来吗,都是很漂亮的女孩子哦,”片刻后,伊丽莎白又说道。 Eric said with a smile: „These step has exempted, you know my taste, after electing, directly delivered me on the bed on the line.” 艾瑞克笑道:“这一步就免了,你知道我的口味,选好之后直接送我床上就行了。” Elizabeth spat one gently, clutched the crumbly bread to lose toward Eric together. 伊丽莎白轻轻啐了一口,揪下一块面包屑朝艾瑞克丢了过来。 „Hello. I have almost forgotten, will you appear at the airport today?” “喂。我差点忘了,你今天怎么也会出现在机场啊？” „Also thinks that your full brain misdemeanor, neglected this issue.” Eric teased one, puts out a hand the small bread that agilely catches one to fly, bit eloquence to reply: „I went to San Francisco, the Pixar new animation has initially been completed, I watched the preview, while convenient and John they discussed the matter of Super Bowl preview.” “还以为你满脑子坏事,把这个问题忽略了呢。”艾瑞克调侃了一句,敏捷地伸手接住一块飞过来的小面包,咬了一口才回答道:“我去旧金山了,皮克斯的新动画已经初步完成,我去看样片,顺便和约翰他们商议一下超级碗预告片的事情。” „This time is anything. «Toy Story» sequel?” Elizabeth asked curiously, Firefly in the past to the outside disclosed about the Pixar newest 3D Animation news the time. Always with ‚has not chosen a name the Pixar new animation’ to take the synonym, Elizabeth has not paid but actually attention. At this time hears Pixar new 3D Animation soon to complete, is interested. “这次是什么。《玩具总动员》的续集吗？”伊丽莎白好奇地问道,萤火虫以往向外界透露关于皮克斯最新3d动画消息的时候。总是用‘未定名皮克斯新动画’作为代称,伊丽莎白倒也没怎么关注过。此时听到皮克斯新的3d动画已经快要完成,才感兴趣起来。 „It is not, the new animation is named as initially «Insects General mobilization», is one narrated that lives resists locust the story of enslaving in the ant family of oasis,” Eric said concisely. “不是,新动画初步定名为《虫虫总动员》,是一部讲述居住在绿洲的蚂蚁家族对抗蝗虫的奴役的故事,”艾瑞克简明地说道。 Elizabeth is looking at Eric, patient waited for several seconds, asked: „Didn't these, have?” 伊丽莎白望着艾瑞克,耐心的等了几秒钟,才问道:“就这些,没有了？” „Now completely tells you not to have the meaning the plot, waits to screen you can go to the movie theater to look.” “现在就把剧情全部告诉你就没意思了,等上映的时候你可以去电影院看。” „I do not go, the thing that the child looks,” Elizabeth curled the lip. “我才不去呢,小孩子看的东西,”伊丽莎白撇了撇嘴。 Finished eating the midnight snack, Elizabeth arrives at the kitchen to tidy up the tableware, returned to the small living room once more. Has rested a afternoon reason, although is 10 : 00 pm, the girl does not have what night clothes, takes up to place the glass several on television remote control devices, sits down side Eric, draws a back cushion to hug in the bosom, has chosen a grade of midnight talk-show at will. 吃完夜宵,伊丽莎白来到厨房将餐具收拾好,再次回到了小客厅里。睡了一下午的缘故,虽然已经是夜晚十点,女郎却没有什么睡衣,拿起放在玻璃几上的电视遥控器,在艾瑞克身旁坐下,拉过一只靠枕抱在怀里,随意地选了一档午夜脱口秀节目。 Looked at the review of a while director tongue Can lotus flower the recent current event, Elizabeth was also saying to man: „Eric, Firefly next can step develop own TV Network to wind?” 看了一会儿主持人舌灿莲花的点评着最近的时事,伊丽莎白才又对身旁的男人道:“艾瑞克,萤火虫的下一步是不是要发展自己的电视网络啊？” „Your family does old man guess?” Eric turns head to ask. “你家老头子猜出来的？”艾瑞克扭头问道。 Elizabeth nodded. 伊丽莎白点了点头。 „Now the conformity of media group has become an inevitable trend, Firefly expanded the limit in the industry chain of movie plate, then definitely toward comprehensive media group development, not only TV Network, the services will expand in music, publication and other.” Here, Eric smiled, said: „You can feel relieved that Firefly will not step in the paper media, will therefore not compete with News Corp in this point.” “现在传媒集团的整合已经成了一种必然的趋势,萤火虫在电影板块的产业链已经扩张到了极限,接下来肯定是朝综合性的传媒集团发展,不但电视网,在音乐、出版等方面的业务都会进行扩张。”说到这里,艾瑞克笑了笑,道:“不过你可以放心,萤火虫不会涉足纸质媒体,所以在这一点上不会与新闻集团竞争。” Along with emerging of Internet, the decline of paper media became an inevitable trend, Eric remembers after new century, United States most famous several newspaper repeatedly encounter the bankrupt crisis, he did not plan that wastes the time in the industry that in one type will soon decline carries on the useless layout. 随着互联网的兴起,纸质媒体的衰落已经成为一种必然趋势,艾瑞克记得进入新世纪之后,就连美国最著名的几份报纸都频频遭遇破产危机,他可不打算浪费时间在一种即将衰落的产业上进行无用的布局。 „Do not think that I do not know any thoughts that you hit, I heard that named Yahoo website that you established at the end of last year, was contacting with several paper intermediary groups recently, the «New York Post» editor-in-chief previous time also with my Papa regarding this matter, you definitely is plans to establish the online news website.” “别以为我不知道你打的什么心思,我听说你去年底成立的那个名叫雅虎的网站,最近在与几家纸媒集团进行接触,《纽约邮报》的主编上次还跟我爸爸谈起这件事,你肯定是打算建立在线新闻网站。” Eric stopped temporarily has rapped the finger of keyboard, turned head to look to Elizabeth, asked curiously: „How your does Papa see to this matter?” 艾瑞克暂时停下了敲击键盘的手指,扭头望向伊丽莎白,好奇地问道:“那你爸爸对这件事怎么看？” Elizabeth brought some slightly happily to groan several, had not replied that a face I did not tell you not to attack your appearance. 伊丽莎白带着些小得意地哼哼了几声,没有回答,一脸我不告诉你是不想打击你的模样。 Eric shrugs, understands that Murdoch was the feasibility study to this idea is not definitely high, makes the most lifetime media, Murdoch can certainly be able to see, the current Internet environment does not have the massive development online news the foundation, the Internet user group of present stage has not popularized to the degree of general publics, majority of centralized on university students and professionals. However, he is obviously impossible to expect that in the next few years the eruption growth of Internet user will be how terrifying. 艾瑞克耸耸肩,也明白默多克肯定是对这种想法的前景评价不高,做了大半辈子传媒,默多克当然能够看得出,目前的互联网环境根本不存在大规模发展在线新闻的基础,现阶段的互联网用户群还没有普及到普通民众的程度,大部分都集中在大学生和专业技术人员身上。不过,他显然也不可能预料到,未来几年互联网用户的爆发式增长是多么恐怖。 „Yeah, Liz, you said that if some day I and your family old man hits, whom you will help?” “哎,莉兹,你说如果有一天我和你家老头子打起来,你会帮谁？” In the Elizabeth eye reveals intense despising: „Naturally helps my Papa, do you feel all right with 60-year-old old man begin? Too was really shameless.” 伊丽莎白眼中露出强烈的鄙视:“当然帮我爸爸,你好意思和一个60多岁的老头子动手？真是太无耻了。” „Volume, has made a mistake, do I mean in the company area?” “额,错了,我是说在公司方面？” „How you like tossing about such toss about,” Eliza hugged to hold the pillow to lie down on the sofa, said reluctantly that Firefly and current scale of News Corp development, being in inverse proportion within certain amount of time is the affirmation, only but if met the huge profession transformation, otherwise presented the life and death struggle very much difficultly again, not to mention in the future, even if now, 20th Century Fox and Firefly have the competitive relations in Film Industry service, but two companies actually lived in peace with each other, even is still having some cooperation. But the Hollywood several other big Film Studio situations are also so. “那你们爱怎么折腾就这么折腾,”伊丽莎搂着抱枕在沙发上躺了下来,懒懒地说道,萤火虫和新闻集团发展的目前的规模,一定时期内的此消彼长是肯定的,但除非遇到巨大的行业变革,否则已经很难再出现你死我活的斗争,且不说将来,就算现在,二十世纪福克斯和萤火虫已经在电影业务方面有着竞争关系,但两家公司却都相安无事,甚至还在存在着一些合作关系。而好莱坞另外几家大电影公司的情况也都是如此。 Eric smiled, has not said anything again, has spent for nearly one hour looks «Interview with the Vampire» script that closes the notebook, patted the girl to place the bright and clean calf on oneself knee: „Was stranded?” 艾瑞克笑了笑,没有再说什么,又花了将近一个小时把《夜访吸血鬼》的剧本看完,关上笔记本,拍了拍女郎放在自己膝盖上的光洁小腿:“困了吗？” Has not responded, Eric turned head to look at the past, the girl narrowed the eye to fall asleep. 没有回应,艾瑞克扭头望过去,女郎眯着眼睛已经睡着了。 ...... …… The new year of promulgation season, as if too much has not related with Firefly Pictures, last year the movie of Firefly release basically was primarily the commercial film, even if on operational very strong Golden Globe Award , can only brush to nominate, has the movie of award-winning strength basically not to have. In addition the company last year had created 27% share miracles on Box Office, accomplishing nothing of Firefly in award item, becomes is holding sour grapes psychology the goal of media taunt unavoidably. 新的一年颁奖季,似乎与萤火虫影业并没有太多关系,去年萤火虫发行的电影基本上都以商业片为主,哪怕是在操作性很强的金球奖上,也只能刷一下提名,拥有获奖实力的电影基本上没有。再加上公司去年在票房上创造了27%的份额奇迹,萤火虫在奖项上的无所作为,难免就成为一些抱着酸葡萄心理的媒体嘲讽的目标。 Eric sees several related reports on new day of newspaper very early in the morning, does not have to care, he always thought that the function of movie award item improves on perfection, Elizabeth held this roll-call Eric to tease actually. ( to be continued ) 艾瑞克一大早就在新一天的报纸上看到好几篇相关的报道,却也没有太放在心上,他一向觉得电影奖项的作用就是锦上添花,倒是伊丽莎白抓住这一点将艾瑞克调侃了一番。(未完待续)
