After Sophie leaves, Eric also in a hurry washes to have the breakfast to the hotel dining room. 苏菲离开之后,艾瑞克也匆匆洗漱完到酒店餐厅吃早餐。 In the recent several days the business is exceptionally numerous and diverse, the Firefly investment company team that not only Chris leads will catch up with Paris today, discussed that purchases the matter of Nokia group, but also Eric must according to the agreement of last night and Jack Valenti, to these Europe native place movie influence some benefits, quite makes these local bullies not act to obstruct the negotiations of «GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade)». Moreover, he is impossible completely to let loose the propaganda work of «Jurassic Park». 最近几天事务异常繁杂,不但克里斯带领的萤火虫投资公司团队将在今天赶来巴黎,商讨收购诺基亚集团的事情,而且艾瑞克还要按照昨晚与杰克瓦伦蒂的约定,给这些欧洲本土电影势力一些甜头,好让这些地头蛇不会出面阻挠《关贸总协定》的谈判。而且,他也不可能完全放开《侏罗纪公园》的宣传工作。 As the Eric first assistant, Alan in some newspaper of today will need the Eric attention the page layout to reorganize as usual ahead of time, sees Eric to appear in the dining room, then has placed on one pack of newspaper his table. 作为艾瑞克的第一助理,艾伦照例提前将今天的一些报纸中需要艾瑞克关注的版面整理了出来,看到艾瑞克出现在餐厅,便将一叠报纸放在了他的桌子上。 Eric, I think that you should have a look at this.” Alan has referred to a uppermost weekly. 艾瑞克,我想你应该看看这个。”艾伦指了指最上面的一份周刊。 Eric took, this is a French Newsweek, Alan, although has only made English postil on the essential page layout, Eric can realize that he makes himself pay attention to this publication the reason. 艾瑞克拿了起来,这是法国本土的一份新闻周刊,艾伦虽然只在关键的版面上做了英文批注,艾瑞克还是能够体会到他让自己关注这份报刊的原因。 Because this Newsweek has used the entire page layout, has printed a picture, Tyrannosaurus Rex in the picture that the Paris urban district batters, but the title is labelling culture strikingly: Attack of United States. 因为这份新闻周刊用了整整一个版面,刊载了一张图片,一张霸王龙巴黎市区横冲直撞的图片,而标题醒目地标注着‘文化:美国的进攻’。 Eric does not need to read the content, almost can guess that this article was saying anything. 艾瑞克不用阅读内容,差不多都能猜测这篇文章都在说些什么。 The French horn said that in history Box Office disastrous defeat of 《Germinal》 of most expensive movie in front of «Jurassic Park», a 100 million 60 million francs investment, the first date has only taken back 1 million franc Box Office, it is expected that first week Box Office also only then about 5 million francs, this digit did not have «Jurassic Park» are many in first date Box Office of France, the French will make such response to be indisputable. 法国号称史上最贵影片的《萌芽》在《侏罗纪公园》面前票房惨败,一亿60000000法郎的投资,首日只收回了一百万法郎票房,预计首周票房也只有5000000法郎左右,这个数字还没有《侏罗纪公园》在法国的首日票房多,法国人会做出这样的反应无可厚非。 Eric fast and turned following several points of newspaper, then did not have the mood of reading, today France French or English newspaper, basically were discussing the «Jurassic Park» Box Office matter. 艾瑞克飞快地又翻了接下来的几分报纸,便没了阅读的心情,今天法国本土无论是法文还是英文报纸,基本上都在谈论《侏罗纪公园票房的事情。 However, thinks that last night party, the Eric corners of the mouth overflowed sneering of taunt, must approach the Hollywood treachery including the French movie influence in private. These media go all out to clamor again are also useful, finally anything did not decide. 不过,想到昨晚的派对,艾瑞克嘴角不由溢出一丝略带嘲讽的冷笑,连法国本土的电影势力都要私下向好莱坞倒戈了。这些媒体再拼命叫嚣又有什么用,最终什么都决定不了。 Today's newspaper will lose in one side, Eric told: You give France the Manager telephone of Subsidiary company, making him carry on the suitable crisis public relations. Other we did not need to manage.” 将今天的报纸丢在一边,艾瑞克吩咐道:“你给法国分公司的经理通一下电话,让他进行适当的危机公关。其他的我们就不用管了。” Alan fast takes down the instruction of Eric in the memorandum, said: „The flight of Mr. Hansson arrives at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in ten o'clock probably, I have arranged several car(riage)s, do you want to pick personally?” 艾伦飞快地在备忘录上记下艾瑞克的吩咐,又道:“汉森先生的航班大概在十点钟到达戴高乐机场,我已经安排好了几辆车,你要亲自去接机吗?” I pass personally,” Eric nodded. “我亲自过去,”艾瑞克点了点头。 ...... …… The terminal of Charles de Gaulle Airport. Flight that Chris one line of take compared with estimating landed on the airport near quarter lately. 戴高乐机场的候机大厅。克里斯一行人乘坐的航班比预计迟了将近一刻钟才在机场降落。 Noted the Chris form to appear in the distinguished guest channel exit|to speak, Eric has wielded starting toward the opposite party with a smile, moved forward to meet somebody. After approaching, Eric discovered that accompanying of Chris follows in him behind, with is actually one that he walks side-by-side with the middle-aged person who Firefly invests does not relate. 注意到克里斯的身影出现在贵宾通道出口,艾瑞克笑着朝对方挥了下手,迎了上去。走近之后,艾瑞克才发现克里斯的随从都跟在他身后,与他并肩而行的却是一个跟萤火虫投资毫无关系的中年人。 The middle-aged people are about 40 years old, wear non- frame eyeglasses, the mediocre appearance looks for the first time will give people a clumsy feeling. 中年人40岁左右,戴着一副无框眼镜,平庸的长相乍一看会给人一种笨拙的感觉。 However, Eric slightly has not actually despised this middle-aged person, because he more than once had seen the picture of opposite party in the related information, this person Nokia current CEO Jorma Ollila. Although the look is ordinary, the Jorma Ollila personal history is not mediocre, this person not only has is doing scholarly research and economic double master's degree, but also has held the post of the management of Citibank over the 30 year, in the original space and time, Nokia under his leadership, from one status that is on the verge of the bankrupt the company to move toward the global communication equipment overlord. 不过,艾瑞克却丝毫没有轻视这个中年人,因为他已经不止一次地在相关资料上看到过对方的照片,这个人正是诺基亚现任ceo约玛奥利拉。虽然相貌普通,不过约玛奥利拉的履历却一点也不平庸,此人不但拥有正治学和经济学的双硕士学位,而且在三十岁出头就担任过花旗银行的高管,原时空中,诺基亚正是在他的带领下,从一家濒临破产的公司走向全球通讯器材霸主的地位。 Eric, does not see for a long time,” Chris and Eric hugged, quick on own initiative reported to him: I think that you affirmed knew him. Mr. Jorma Ollila.” 艾瑞克,好久不见,”克里斯艾瑞克拥抱了下,很快就主动向他介绍道:“我想你肯定认识他了。约玛奥利拉先生。” Jorma Ollila approaches one step to shake hand with Eric: Mr. Williams, I am Jorma Ollila, sees you very much happily, I like your movie very much.” 约玛奥利拉主动上前一步与艾瑞克握了握手:“威廉姆斯先生,我是约玛奥利拉,很高兴见到你,我很喜欢你的电影。” Thanks. Called me Eric to be good,” Eric loosened the hand of Jorma Ollila, has not cared about the vision that in the opposite party smiling face carefully examined, turned around to greet with the Firefly investment company team members who Chris brought. “谢谢。叫我艾瑞克就好,”艾瑞克松开约玛奥利拉的手,没有在意对方笑容中略带审视的目光,转身与克里斯带来的萤火虫投资公司团队成员打招呼。 The people left the airport, Eric brought Chris to sneak in their private car, car just started. Chris impatiently opens the suitcase that carries along: Eric, feeds in the New York material according to you, I made the person make an appraisal to Nokia this company again......” 众人离开了机场,艾瑞克带着克里斯钻进了自己的座驾,汽车刚刚发动。克里斯就迫不及待地打开随身携带的手提箱:“艾瑞克,根据你传回纽约的资料,我再次让人对诺基亚这家公司做了一番评估……” Eric has interrupted the Chris words, has referred to behind that car(riage) with a smile: You have not told me Jorma Ollila what's the matter, how can he arrive at Paris to come with you?” 艾瑞克打断了克里斯的话,笑着指了指身后的那辆车:“你还没有告诉我约玛奥利拉是怎么回事呢,他怎么会和你一起到巴黎来?” Chris smiled, temporarily closes the suitcase, said: He is almost I picks from New York.” 克里斯笑了笑,暂时合上手提箱,道:“他几乎是我从纽约捡回来的。” I know that Jorma Ollila went to Wall Street is Nokia has invested, but the situation should not have you to say was so miserable?” “我知道约玛奥利拉华尔街诺基亚拉投资了,不过情形应该没有你说的那么惨吧?” On the situation that I know is, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley these big investment banks to investing Nokia do not have the too big interest, because before Boston advisory group more than one year, openly has published a report, claimed that the Nokia cell phone service definitely is unable competes with Motorola and Japan cell phone manufacturer, finally just got rid transports passes company Lehman Brothers of control to intend to invest, but Lehman Brothers now itself the fund is short, the condition that pledges is also quite harsh, when I contact Jorma Ollila, he negotiated for one month with Manager of Lehman Brothers investment arm, moreover had not broken off conversation with the opposite party, currently speaking, this person is really able, but. Meanwhile he also became we purchased the Nokia resistance, since he to Lehman Brothers such giant compromise, in other words he similarly easily will not compromise to us easily.” “就我知道的情况是,高盛摩根士丹利这几大投行都对投资诺基亚没有太大兴趣,因为波士顿咨询集团一年多以前公开发表过一份报告,声称诺基亚手机业务完全无法与摩托罗拉日本手机厂商竞争,最后是刚刚摆脱运通公司的控制的雷曼兄弟有意投资,但雷曼兄弟现在本身资金非常短缺,开出的条件也就比较苛刻,我接触约拉奥利拉时,他已经与雷曼兄弟投资部门的经理谈判了一个月,而且还一直都没有与对方谈崩,从这一点来看,这个人确实非常有能力,但。同时他也就成了我们收购诺基亚的阻力,既然他不会轻易对雷曼兄弟这样的巨头妥协,也就是说他同样不会轻易对我们妥协。” Eric asked: „Did you attain him and Lehman Brothers negotiations content?” 艾瑞克问道:“那你拿到他和雷曼兄弟的谈判内容了吗?” Chris nodded cunningly, this naturally,” was saying, Chris opens the suitcase, put out several points of document to give Eric. 克里斯狡黠地点了点头,“这个当然,”说着,克里斯打开手提箱,从中拿出了几分文件递给艾瑞克 Jorma Ollila and Lehman Brothers conflict main centralized in the capital scale and date two aspects, Lehman Brothers only complies with capital 50 million USD at first, actually must take away the Nokia 10% stocks, the condition that moreover, Lehman Brothers gives is three years later helps the Nokia operation go on the market, but Jorma Ollila actually hopes that Lehman Brothers can operation Nokia go on the market directly, obtains by illegal purchase the development funds from the stock market.” 约玛奥利拉雷曼兄弟的争端主要集中在注资规模和上市时间两方面,雷曼兄弟最初只答应注资五千万美元,却要拿走诺基亚10%的股份,另外,雷曼兄弟给出的条件是三年之后帮助诺基亚运作上市,但约玛奥利拉却希望雷曼兄弟能够直接运作诺基亚上市,从股市套取发展资金。” Eric read front document, the doubts was saying: He the listing is making anything anxiously, if the Nokia prospects for development are good, late listing. Can't get more interests?” 艾瑞克阅读着面前的文件,疑惑道:“他急着上市做什么,如果诺基亚发展前景良好的话,迟一些上市。不是能够获得更多的利益吗?” This aspect I also make person analyze,” Chris explained: Nokia at present majority of stockholder's rights centralized in Finnish several bank hands, this also means that Nokia makes any big service adjustment, needs to be under several bank shareholders' permissions. This situation also causes the Nokia management independent display space to be narrow. But if can operation Nokia go on the market in North America, Nokia will turn into a populace holding company, such management had bigger display space, only needs to be responsible for the general shareholders, does not need to obey gesticulations of several bank shareholders again.” “这方面我也让人做过分析,”克里斯解释道:“诺基亚目前大部分的股权都集中在芬兰几家银行手中,这也就意味着诺基亚做出任何较大的业务调整,都需要得到几家银行股东的许可。这种情况也就导致诺基亚的管理层自主发挥空间非常狭窄。但如果能够运作诺基亚北美上市的话,诺基亚会变成一家大众持股公司,这样管理层就拥有了更大的发挥空间,只需要对广大股东负责,不必再事事听从几家银行股东们的指手画脚。” In the final analysis. If he wants a bigger authority, right?” “说到底。他还是要想更大的权力,对吗?” Chris nods: Yes, therefore, when I just started to contact Jorma Ollila, he to the Firefly investment is not too warm-hearted, I worried that he will continue to discuss to achieve the cooperation with Lehman Brothers suddenly, disclosed to him some Cisco materials, he will then comply to return to Europe with me together.” 克里斯点头:“是的,所以,当我刚开始接触约玛奥利拉的时候,他对萤火虫投资并不是太热心,我担心他继续与雷曼兄弟谈下去会突然达成合作,就向他透露了一些思科的资料,他这才答应跟我一起回欧洲。” Although the Firefly investment hides the stockholder's rights dispersion of Cisco in several investment fund, but as before is the Cisco first major stockholder, but. Besides supervision to Cisco necessary the human affairs as well as the financial, the Firefly investment too has not meddled the operation of this company, Eric understands that Jorma Ollila should settle on this point. 萤火虫投资虽然将思科的股权分散隐藏在几家投资基金当中,但依旧是思科的第一大股东,不过。除了对思科必要的人事以及财务监管之外,萤火虫投资并没有太多插手这家公司的运营,艾瑞克明白约玛奥利拉应该是看中了这一点。 „Here, last week Cisco has completed to the annexation of coc communication, Cisco operation expanding catalyst5000 switchboard domain, after this annexation , the stockholder's rights in hand fell 31%, but, closed the stock price before last Friday, the Cisco present market value has achieved 5 300 million USD, that side detailed material Headquarters was still reorganizing. After completing, will send to your mailbox, I simply told you.” “说到这里,上周思科完成了对coc通讯的兼并,将思科业务扩展到了catalyst5000交换机领域,这次兼并之后我们手中的股权滑落到了31%,不过,根据上周五收盘前的股价,思科现在的市值已经达到53亿美元,详细的资料总部那边还在整理。完成之后会发到你的邮箱里,我只是简单地跟你说一下。” Eric nodded to indicate to understand, since Clinton Administration came to power and announced after the information superhighway plans, more than half a year rapidly is rising with the computer network related stock price. The Cisco stock price is from the beginning of the year to the present, rose more than one time, although network technology stock craziest time is also far from the arrival, but this tendency attracted the attention of massive Wall Street investor. 艾瑞克点了点头表示明白,自从克林顿正府上台并宣布信息高速公路计划之后,这大半年来与计算机网络相关的公司股价都在飞速上涨。思科股价更是从年初开始到现在,涨了一倍多,虽然网络科技股最疯狂的时候还远远没有到来,但这股倾向已经吸引了大量华尔街投资者的注意。 Chris said that this matter, quick has put out a packing fine gift box from the suitcase: , the second matter. Some people made me bring the gift to come to you.” 克里斯说完这件事,很快又从手提箱里拿出了一个包装精致的礼品盒:“,第二件事。有人让我给你带了礼物过来。” Eric has not noted the Chris corners of the mouth bad smiles, some doubts disassemble the packing paper, discovered that is one 32 opens the size the picture frame, in the picture two chubby kids sits on the sofa, the young boy stares an eye somewhat dull to stare at the scene, the facial features look like the Joanna little girl actually law-abidingly not to extend the small hand as if to very much grasp anything. 艾瑞克没有注意到克里斯嘴角的坏笑,有些疑惑地将包装纸拆开,才发现里面是一个32开大小的相框,照片里两个胖乎乎的小家伙坐在沙发上,小男孩瞪着一双眼睛有些呆呆地盯着镜头,眉眼很像乔安娜的小女孩却不安分地伸出小手似乎要抓什么。 Eric sees the picture, this thinks that two kids were on April 10 were born, couple days ago was two kids was born three months of commemoration day, he actually this matter forgetting, not to have telephoned for these days, it seems like Virginia was certainly angry, this made Chris bring gift to come to oneself. 艾瑞克看到照片,这才想起来,两个小家伙是4月10号出生的,前几天是两个小家伙出生三个月的纪念日,他却把这件事给忘记了,这几天也一直都没有打电话回去,看来维吉尼娅一定很生气,这才让克里斯给自己带‘礼物’过来。 Chris said in the one side: „The Kevin baptism on that day I and Emily also went, but I now The Godfather Oh of kid, I also think that you definitely know, has not informed you. The day before yesterday Emily saw two kids, bringing this thing to make me take to you, I knew.” 克里斯在一旁说道:“凯文洗礼那天我和艾米丽也去了,我现在可是小家伙的教父,我还以为你肯定知道的,才没有通知你。前天艾米丽去看望两个小家伙,带回来这件东西让我捎给你,我才知道的。” Western child being born for several months later will accept the baptism generally, Eric has not thought that Virginia had not discussed with oneself, directly has handled the matter, smiled awkwardly, Eric realizes anything, asked: Kevin baptism, that Xiaxia?” 西方孩子在出生几个月之后一般都会接受洗礼,艾瑞克没想到维吉尼娅没有跟自己商量,就直接把事情办了,尴尬地笑了笑,艾瑞克才意识到什么,问道:“凯文的洗礼,那夏夏呢?” The Chris booth lets go: This should be the matter that you and Joanna discussed that” the expression that noted Eric to confuse, Chris also said: Joanna is a Jew, the Jew aunt, from the tradition, Xiaxia should also be a Jew, from the blood relationship, she can also be a native of England, British believes in Christianity generally, therefore, which religious sect making the kid believe, wanted you and Joanna discusses.” 克里斯摊摊手:“这个应该是你和乔安娜商量的事情吧,”注意到艾瑞克迷惑的表情,克里斯又道:“乔安娜是犹太人啊,犹太人从母,从传统上来说,夏夏也应该算是犹太人,从血统上来说,她也可以算是英格兰人,英国人一般信奉基督教,所以,让小家伙信仰哪个教派,就要你和乔安娜商量了。” Eric felt that somewhat strangely, muttered: My daughter unexpectedly is a Jew.” 艾瑞克感觉有些怪怪的,喃喃道:“我的女儿竟然是犹太人。” The understanding is so long, Chris also realized that Eric is one to the race very insensitive person, therefore he also knows that Eric just in the words did not have what the meaning of discrimination, said with a smile: Yes, if you will make Xiaxia take over your duty in the future, definitely very much will receive Hollywood to welcome.” 认识这么久,克里斯也意识到艾瑞克是一个对种族很不敏感的人,因此他也知道艾瑞克刚刚话里并没有什么歧视的意思,笑道:“是啊,如果你将来让夏夏接你的班的话,肯定会很受好莱坞欢迎的。” Is the feeling somewhat is strange,” Eric has also smiled: You, Chris, which ancestors your family is?” “就是感觉有些奇怪,”艾瑞克也笑了起来:“那你呢,克里斯,你们家是哪个族裔的?” Chris said: My family is the Norwegian immigrant who the big navigation time moves, now should be the American Nationality.” 克里斯道:“我的家族是大航海时代就迁徙过来的挪威移民,现在应该算是美利坚民族了。” Norway, I also think that Hansson is also a United Kingdom surname,” Eric said with a smile. “挪威啊,我还以为汉森也是一个英国姓氏呢,”艾瑞克笑道。 In British bone arrogant,” Chris teased one, explained: Hansson this surname partition is Hans's son meaning, if you have read the fairy tale, will discover that Hans this name frequently appears in the Northern European fairy tale, Norway is one of the Nordic countries.” 英国人骨子里的傲慢啊,”克里斯调侃了一句,才解释道:“汉森这个姓氏分拆来说就是‘汉斯的儿子’的意思,如果你读过童话故事的话,就会发现汉斯这个名字经常出现在北欧童话当中,挪威是北欧五国之一。” Eric receives the pictures of two kids, said: Good, did not discuss this temporarily, we returned to Nokia.” 艾瑞克将两个小家伙的照片收好,道:“好吧,暂时不谈这个,我们还是回到诺基亚上面来吧。” Chris nodded, pulls out several documents from the suitcase: This is I entrusts some comparison tests that the Cisco technologies division makes, the communication that Nokia uses to suppress the present stage majority of mobile communications equipment completely. Now the mobile phones use of mainstream is the simulated signals, what because uses is the signal impulse, is extremely easy to receive the disturbance to cause the connection quality in the transmission process to distort, in fact many two-way charges for cellular phones equipment corporation is studying the recent communication standard, but from the Cisco technologies division giving the test result , the digital signal that Nokia that model of 1011 cell phones use is stable, what this signal uses is with the computer same binary system principle, in the transmission process does not have the problem of distortion completely, therefore I thought that the GSM network that if Nokia uses can obtain the promotion, will cause a two-way charges for cellular phones equipment side hugeness. Transformation, but first promoted Nokia of GSM standard cell phone also to obtain very big superiority, if not think that our investments were cut down, after the purchase was completed, we must first do, was lobbies Europe various countries to use the GSM standard comprehensively.” 克里斯点了点头,又从手提箱里掏出几份文件:“这是我委托思科的技术部门做的一些对比测试,诺基亚所采用的通讯方式完全压制现阶段大部分移动通信设备。现在主流的移动电话采用的都是模拟信号,因为采用的是脉冲信号,在传输过程中极易受到干扰而导致通话质量失真,实际上很多移动通讯设备公司都在研究新的通讯制式,而从思科的技术部门给出的测试结果,诺基亚的那款1011手机采用的数字信号非常稳定,这种信号采用的是与计算机相同的二进制原理,传输过程中完全不存在失真的问题,所以我觉得,如果诺基亚采用的g**网络能够得到推广的话,会引起一场移动通讯设备方面的巨大。变革,而首先推出了g**制式手机的诺基亚也会获得很大的优势,如果不想我们的投资泡汤,收购完成之后,我们首先要做的,就是游说欧洲各国全面采用g**制式。” Eric said: „The matter that after this is probably the purchase is completed, must handle?”( To be continued.) 艾瑞克道:“这个好像是收购完成之后才要做的事情吧?”(未完待续。)
