Chapter 587
第587章ElizabethandJuliacarrybreakfastto walktogetherfrom the villa, arrives by the round table, justsawappearance that Ericknits the browsslightly.伊丽莎白和茱莉亚一起端着早餐从别墅里走出来,来到圆桌旁,刚好看到艾瑞克微微皱眉的模样。PlacesEric a breakfaston hand, Elizabethaskedin a soft voice: „How?”
将一份早餐放在艾瑞克手边,伊丽莎白轻声问道:“怎么了?”Ericpressesnewspaperundernotebooksets aside the position, carried the tepid the milkto drinkone, said: „ That sideNew York, acquisition negotiationsmallcondition. „艾瑞克将报纸压在笔记本电脑下面腾出位置,端起温热的牛奶喝了一口,说道:“纽约那边的,收购谈判出了点小状况。“ElizabethlowOh, related to the acquisition negotiation of ABCTV Network, sheknows that heshould notcontinueto askagain, althoughElizabethdoes not haveotheranythoughtsat heart, even iffrom the Ericmouthknows that anythingwill not speak irresponsiblyabsolutelyeverywhere, butshe is very clearfamily/homeold manto wish one couldEricto purchaseanotherthreeTV NetworkplancompletelyHuangDiao, suchFireflyTV Departmentvery muchlikelygreatlycontinuesto cooperatewithFoxTV Network, thereforeElizabeththought that thisavoiding suspicionisverynecessary.伊丽莎白低低哦了一声,涉及到ab电视网的收购谈判,她知道自己不应该再继续问下去,虽然伊丽莎白心里没有什么其他心思,即使从艾瑞克嘴里知道些什么也绝对不会到处乱说,但她却很清楚自己家老头子恨不得艾瑞克收购另外三家电视网的计划全部黄掉,这样萤火虫电视部门就很大可能继续与福克斯电视网合作,因此伊丽莎白觉得这种避嫌是很有必要的。However, Juliaactuallydoes not know that the Elizabeththoughts, shedoes not havethisscruples, sits downsideEric, askedcuriously: „Whatconditionhad?”
不过,茱莉亚却并不知道伊丽莎白的心思,她也没有这种顾忌,在艾瑞克身边坐下,好奇地问道:“发生了什么状况?”„The ABCaspectwas worried that merges the debt of laterFireflyhighto aggravate the burden of company, requestingFireflyto reduce the bond issuanceproportion, throughwaycollectionpurchasefund of listing.”
“ab方面担心并购之后萤火虫的负债过高会加重公司的负担,要求萤火虫减少债券发行比例,通过上市的方式筹集收购资金。”Elizabethslightlyraised the eyebrow that listens attentively topeacefully, althoughdoes not know the detailedtakeover plan of Firefly, butsheis also clear, ifFireflysuccessfullycompletes the merger and acquisition of ABCTV Network, the market valuewill be relaxedover30billionUSD, but the long-termdebtpossiblyhasabout10billion. Converts, the debtproportionbe only30%, suchdebtproportion is not highregardinganybigcompany, even can also playverygoodavoiding taxeseffect. The ABCaspectsetsuchrequest, absolutelystemming fromworrying aboutgoal of Fireflydebt, manypossiblyforafterboth sidesmerged, weakenedEricas far as possibleregarding the Fireflycontrolling force.
安静倾听的伊丽莎白微微挑了挑眉,虽然不知道萤火虫的详细收购计划,但她也清楚,萤火虫如果顺利完成ab电视网的并购,市值将轻松超过300亿美元,但长期债务可能只有100亿左右。换算一下,负债比例只有30%,这样的负债比例对于任何一家大公司来说都不算高,甚至还能够起到非常好的避税效果。ab方面提出这样的要求,绝对不是出于担忧萤火虫债务负担的目的,更多可能是为了在双方合并之后,尽可能地削弱艾瑞克对于萤火虫的控制力。AlthoughElizabethunderstood the ABCintentionimmediately, butJuliainsomefinancialterminologytoEricmouthdoes not understandobviously, but. Juliaalsovery muchwith easefound the point that oneselfhave been interested, asked: „After youpurchaseABC, how manydebtswill be in?”
虽然伊丽莎白立刻就明白了ab的意图,但茱莉亚显然对艾瑞克口中的一些金融术语都不是太懂,不过。茱莉亚也很轻松地就找到了自己感兴趣的点,问道:“那你收购ab之后,会欠多少债啊?”„In addition the beforehanddebtaccumulates, aboutprobably10billionUSD.”
“加上之前的债务累计,大概100亿美元左右吧。”Juliasmacks the lipssurprisedly. Said: „These many, ifin this case, Ialsothink...... Thatlistingis better.”茱莉亚惊讶地咂咂嘴。说道:“这么多,要是这样的话,我也觉得还是……那个上市更好一些。”Ericshakes the headwith a smile, has not saidanything.艾瑞克笑着摇摇头,没说什么。Elizabethsaid: „Julia, is actually notthis. After completing the merger and acquisition, according to the futurenewFireflyover30billionUSDmarket values, 10billionUSDonlywill possibly be equalto30%debts, the debtproportion of bigcompanycompared with30%highmany, that side the ABCTV Networkultimategoalwantto makeFireflygo on the market, buttonot reducedebt.”伊丽莎白则说道:“茱莉亚,其实不是这样的。完成并购之后,按照将来新萤火虫可能超过300亿美元的市值来说,100亿美元只相当于30%的负债,很多大公司的负债比例都要比30%高的多,ab电视网那边的最终目的只是想让萤火虫上市,而不是为了减轻负债。”„Hehe, Ido not understand, but, these10billionUSD, even ifdivides for tenyears, it is estimated that must have the interest. According to the Fireflythis year'sprofit, even ifadds onABC, saying that......”Juliawas sayingwas sayingcannot bearspit the tongueononeself, shealsorealized that thisobviouslyisimpossible, otherwiselooks likethat manydebtproportions that Elizabethsaidto make moneycompared with the Fireflyalsohighcompany?
“呵呵,我不是太懂,不过,这100亿美元哪怕分十年来还,估计还要有利息啊。按照萤火虫今年的利润,哪怕加上ab的,岂不是说……”茱莉亚说着说着就自己忍不住吐了吐舌头,她也意识到这显然是不可能的,否则像伊丽莎白说的那么多负债比例比萤火虫还高的公司怎么赚钱?„Naturallyis notthis,”Elizabethdoes not mindJulia'sto be ignorant, insteadhas analyzedanimatedly: „According to10billionUSDas well as the annual interest5%debts, the capitalas well as the interest that the Firefly Picturesfirstyearmustrepaypossiblyis1.5 billionUSD, naturally, reducesalong with the debtproportion. Thisdigitwill be getting fewer and fewer. Calculatesaccording tofirstyear1.5 billionUSD, thissum of moneynotfromnet profit, buttransfersas the enterprisecost of operationfrom the earning of enterprise, likethis year. FireflyandABCTV Network, althoughnet profitsum total, only then1.5 billionUSD, but the business incomesum totals of twocompaniesactuallyapproach20billionUSD . Moreover, this1.5 billionUSD can also playavoids taxes the function, according to the North America about 35%enterprise income taxes, in the middle of1.5 billionUSDhas52.5 billionUSDto beInternal Revenue Service. Fireflywere equal toonlypayingless than1billionUSDmoneyto be usedto repay a debt.”Saidfinally, Elizabethlooked atEricgrinningly, somewhattook pleasure in others'misfortunes: „Naturally, suchhighdebt, if the Fireflyachievementcannotcontinue the rapid growthin the future, even if before does not stop, youdefinitelywill havetroublesome.”
“当然不是这样,”伊丽莎白也不介意茱莉亚的无知,反而津津乐道的分析了起来:“按照100亿美元以及年息5%的负债,萤火虫影业第一年要偿还的本金以及利息可能是15亿美元,当然,随着债务比例降低。这个数字会越来越少。就按照第一年15亿美元来计算,这笔钱并不是从净利润里面出的,而是从企业的营收当中作为企业经营成本进行划拨,就像今年。萤火虫和ab电视网虽然净利润总和只有15亿美元,但两家公司的营业收入总和却接近200亿美元,而且,这15亿美元还能起到避税作用,按照北美35%左右的企业所得税,15亿美元当中有525亿美元本来是属于国税局的。萤火虫自己等于只出了不到10亿美元的钱用来还债。”说道最后,伊丽莎白笑嘻嘻地看了眼艾瑞克,有些幸灾乐祸:“当然喽,这么高的负债,如果将来萤火虫的业绩不能持续高速增长,哪怕只是停止不前,你都肯定会有麻烦的。”Juliafastquickmixes witha series ofdigit analysiswordsnot to understandmanyregarding the Elizabethlanguage, insteadhearslast, somewhatworried that lookstoEric.茱莉亚对于伊丽莎白语速很快又夹杂着一连串数字分析的话根本就没弄懂多少,反而听到最后一句,才有些担忧地看向艾瑞克。„Has not related, ifIwill go bankruptin the future, but can also live by pimping.”Ericsaidwith a smile, but alsoputs out a hand the Julia'scheek that touches a faceto worry about.
“没关系啊,万一我将来破产了,还可以吃软饭的。”艾瑞克笑着说道,还伸手摸了摸一脸担忧的茱莉亚的脸蛋。Elizabethlooks that Julianarrowseyeto paste the cheeksubconsciouslyin the appearance of Ericpalm, has made a disgustingexpression, suspends the small handto catch up withsaying of fly: „Cannot bearyou.”伊丽莎白看着茱莉亚下意识眯起眼睛将脸蛋贴在艾瑞克掌心的模样,做了个恶心的表情,摆着小手赶苍蝇似的说道:“真受不了你们。”Has the breakfast, Elizabethin a hurryhas driven the centurycityto go to work, Juliaaccording toEriclast nightinstruction, bringingEmmato go toheraccountanttheretogether.
吃过早餐,伊丽莎白就匆匆开车去世纪城上班,茱莉亚按照艾瑞克昨晚的吩咐,带着艾玛一起去了她的会计师那里。Erichas had the breakfast, calledto chat something Katzenberg, openedownelectronic mail, sincethere isHotmail, Alandid not needto giveEricto deliver the documentevery so oftenagainpersonally, a lotcanbe solvedthrough the email, but the Ericsurroundingpersongraduallywas also familiar withthrough the electronic mailandEricrelates.艾瑞克吃过早餐,又打电话跟卡森伯格聊了一些事情,才打开自己的电子邮箱,自从有了hotmail,艾伦很多时候都不用再亲自给艾瑞克送文件,很多事情都可以通过电子邮件来解决,而艾瑞克周围的人也渐渐习惯通过电子邮箱与艾瑞克联系。Lookedmail that yesterdayaccumulated, the timeis around 9 : 00, Erictidied upto return the Elizabethroom the notebook, was planning that in the girlfamily/homegaragelooked for a car(riage)to go toPlaya Vista, hismobile phonetinghas rung.
看完昨天积累下来的邮件,时间已经是九点多,艾瑞克将笔记本电脑收拾好放回伊丽莎白的房间,正打算到女郎家车库里找辆车去普雷亚维斯塔,他的移动电话铃声就响了起来。
The telephoneisAmy Pascalhits, theychattedseveralintelephone, Erichas made the telephone call.
电话是艾米帕斯卡尔打来的,两人在电话里聊了几句,艾瑞克就挂了电话。
After onehour, Ericdrives a buildsomewhatclumsywhiteChevroletbusiness automobileto appearin a Venicebeachseafood restaurant.
一个小时之后,艾瑞克开着一辆体型有些笨拙的白色雪佛兰商务车出现在威尼斯海滩一家海鲜餐厅里。Amy PascalandDrewwaitedhere.艾米帕斯卡尔和德鲁已经等在了这里。„Eric,”Drewthrewto holdEric, sawEricto stopinthatChevrolet of parking lot, the subconsciousnessspits the mortise: „Thecar(riage) when youbuy, the visionis really bad.”However, the voicejustfellsmall girlto realize that thispossiblyis the car(riage) of somewoman, curled the lip, waits forEricandAmy Pascalfires offgreeting, heis walkingtoward the dining room on pulling.
“艾瑞克,”德鲁扑过来抱了抱艾瑞克,看到艾瑞克停在停车场的那辆雪佛兰,下意识吐槽道:“你什么时候买的这车啊,眼光真差。”不过,话音刚落小妮子就意识到这可能是某个女人的车,撇了撇嘴,等艾瑞克与艾米帕斯卡尔打完招呼,就拉着他朝餐厅里走去。In the time the lunchearly, possiblyalreadyhas also been told. Under threepeoplein the dinner tableare implicated, the waiterhas carriedonecoffeetoEric, peacefullygot out of the way.
时间里午餐还早,可能是早就得到吩咐。三个人在餐桌旁坐下,侍者只是给艾瑞克端上了一杯咖啡,就安静地走开了。Erichas not actually drunk the coffeethoughts, has pushedpushingtowardside the coffee cup. Asking: „Took carry backseveral?”艾瑞克却没有喝咖啡的心思,将咖啡杯朝旁边推了推。问道:“拿回来几个了?”Amy Pascalpulls out a folderto hand overfrom the package, said: „Three, «Spider-Man»and«Fantastic Four»and«Hulk»copyrightallsidesagreed the transfer agreement, has«Captain America»of the 21 st centuryFilm Studiopersists inwanting the «Night at the Museum»30%capitalpoweras well as the followingsequelsameenteringcapitalproportion, theyare not always willingto make concessions. Thereforemustcomply, youdecided. However, Eric, Idid not suggestto comply, otherwise, althoughhas takencopyright, butanotherthreecompaniesextremelywill be definitely discontented, theyunifiedonlyattain20%capitalpower, the sequel have 10%Oh, was right. Theyelectcompletelyis«Night at the Museum»thisspecial effectmovie.”艾米帕斯卡尔从包里掏出一个文件夹递过来,道:“三个,《蜘蛛侠》、《神奇四侠》和《绿巨人》的版权所有方都同意了转让协议,拥有《美国队长》的二十一世纪电影公司坚持要《博物馆奇妙夜》@30%的注资权以及后续续集同样的入资比例,他们始终都不肯退让。所以要不要答应,就得你来拍板了。不过,艾瑞克,我不建议答应下来,不然的话,虽然已经将版权拿到手,但另外三家公司肯定会非常不满的,他们统一只拿到20%的注资权,续集也只有10%哦,对了。他们选的全部都是《博物馆奇妙夜》这部特效电影。”Ericis listening to the explanation of Amy, lowers the headto read the copyrighttransfer agreement in hand, besides«Spider-Man», anothertwo, althoughsimilarlyisMarvelSuperhero, but the reorganization in originalspace and timeis nottoosuccessful. However, so long as«Spider-Man»succeeds in obtainingwell. In the originalspace and timelooks at the «The Avengers»seriestime, Ericmostdoes not catch coldwasCaptain America, if not be able to take carry backin the future, thatmadegod of Captain AmericainThe Avengershiddengood, Ericdid not believe the coordination of otherSuperhero. Thatso-calledof the 21 st centuryFilm Studiocanplayto play tricks. Waits for the surprisedcompanyto succeed in obtainingin the future, «Captain America»copyrightsooner or laterauto-regression.艾瑞克听着艾米的解释,低头翻看着手中的版权转让协议,除了《蜘蛛侠》外,另外两个虽然同样是漫威一线的超级英雄,但原时空中的改编都不是太成功。不过,只要《蜘蛛侠》到手就好。原时空中看《复仇者联盟》系列的时候,艾瑞克最不感冒的就是美国队长了,如果将来真的拿不回来,那就让美国队长在复仇者联盟里神隐好了,艾瑞克也不相信没有其他超级英雄的配合。那个所谓的二十一世纪电影公司能够玩出什么花样来。等将来惊奇公司到手,《美国队长》的版权早晚会自动回归。Erictoodid not understand the surprisedSuperherosystemthatlooks in the handthreetransfer agreements, asked: „Other?”艾瑞克对于惊奇的超级英雄体系并不是太了解,看完手中三份转让协议,就问道:“还有其他的吗?”Amy Pascallooked atEric. Saying with a smile: „Blade, several years agowas boughtby the newline, at the end of this yearjustarrives in full, ifthat sideFireflywantsto continuemaintainscopyright, eitherconsultedwith the surprisedcompanyrenews a contract, eithermustcome outmovieshoots. In addition, almostdid not have, was right, Iinvestigate, discovered that Marvel ComicswithUniversalwas discussingtransfers the «X-Men»copyrightmatter, last year after the Marvel Comicsseveneditors-in-chieflefttogether, the surprisedthis year'sconditionwas more awful, thereforetheywantto sellsomecopyrightto receive the operationfundurgentlyagain.”艾米帕斯卡尔看了眼艾瑞克。笑道:“有一个刀锋战士,前几年被新线买去了,今年年底刚好到齐,如果萤火虫那边想要继续保持版权的话,要么与惊奇公司协商续约,要么就要将电影拍摄出来。除此之外,差不多就没了,对了,我调查的时候,发现惊奇漫画正在与环球商议转让《战警》版权的事情,去年惊奇漫画七位主笔一起出走之后,惊奇今年的状况更糟糕了,所以他们迫切地想要再出售一些版权获得运营资金。”
Several other companiesare good, isUniversal.
其他几家公司还好,偏偏是环球。SomeEricheadaches, by the astuteness of Michael Eisner, oncethemgets rid, thenUniversaldefinitelywill increase the chip, wantsto robagain, only if a timefoolto report an ultrahigh price, otherwisedefinitelywill not be that easymatter.艾瑞克有些头疼,以迈克尔艾斯纳的精明,一旦他们这边出手,那么环球肯定会加大筹码,再想要抢夺的话,除非做一次冤大头报个超高价,否则肯定不会是那么容易的事情。Amyas ifsaw the worry of Eric, said with a smile: Eric, ifmustattain«X-Men»copyright is actually not that difficultmatter, youdo not know that the Michael Eisnerrecentbodyhad the condition, will possibly endanger life, hehas been relating the matter of heart surgery, Universalserious the greatlybusinessgovernsby the Michael Eisnerassistantnow, heard that Michael Eisneralsowishtook the post ofUniversalChairmanbyowngood friend Michael Ovitz. ”艾米似乎看出了艾瑞克的顾虑,笑道:艾瑞克,如果要拿到《战警》版权其实也不是那么难的事情,你难道不知道吗,迈克尔艾斯纳最近身体出了状况,甚至可能会危及生命,他一直在联系心脏手术的事情,环球现在大本分事务都由迈克尔艾斯纳的副手掌管,听说迈克尔艾斯纳还想要让自己的好友迈克尔奥维茨出任环球总裁。”Ericthenthinksthatinoriginalspace and timeMichael Eisnertrulyhad a bigphysical conditionin1994, howEric is actually not specifically clear, onlyknows that Michael Eisneras ifas beforehugsbefore the surgeryis possibly dying the mentalityonsurgery table, has assigned the Disney'ssuccessor.艾瑞克这才想起来,原时空中迈克尔艾斯纳在1994年确实出现了一次大的身体状况,具体如何艾瑞克倒是不清楚,只知道迈克尔艾斯纳在手术之前似乎依旧抱着可能死在手术台上的心态,指定了迪斯尼的接班人。„Ifcansnatch, thatas far as possiblesnatches, naturally, do not make the toobignoise.”
“如果能够抢过来,那就尽量抢过来,当然,也不要闹出太大的动静。”„Iunderstandthat” the Amynodsaid: „What the surprisedpresentmostneedsis the fund, thereforewantsus the initial priceto be highenough, surprisedwill definitely chooseour.”Saidhere, Amyrememberedanythingsuddenly, said: „Was right, Eric, I thought that ifyoufavorSuperhero of cartoonsurprisedly, whycompletelydoes not buynowMarvel ComicsCorporation, perhapsby the surprisedpresentsituation, wantsto buy, has more than enoughincluding200 millionUSD.”
“我明白,”艾米点头道:“惊奇现在最需要的是资金,所以只要我们这边开价足够高,惊奇肯定会选择我们的。”说道这里,艾米突然想起什么,道:“对了,艾瑞克,我觉得,如果你看好惊奇吗漫画的超级英雄的话,为什么不现在把惊奇漫画公司全部买下来呢,以惊奇现在的情况,或许想要买下来,连两亿美元都用不了。”Ericshook the headgently, says with a smile: „Now is also not the time, in brief, yousnatch«X-Men»copyrightand that's the end.”艾瑞克轻轻摇了摇头,笑道:“现在还不是时候,总之,你把《战警》的版权抢过来就是了。”Amy Pascaldoes not understand that the Ericwordsareanymeaning, butshehad not asked that nods, said: Sincethen, inourhandshad«Spider-Man»and«Fantastic Four»and«Hulk», when do youplanto launchtheseprojects? ”艾米帕斯卡尔不明白艾瑞克的话是什么意思,不过她也没有多问,点点头,道:那么,既然我们手中已经拥有了《蜘蛛侠》、《神奇四侠》和《绿巨人》,你打算什么时候启动这些项目?”„Firstis accumulating,”Ericsaid: „And otherspecial effecttechnologiesdevelopagain for severalyears, ifnowmanufactures, definitelycannot achieve the effect that Iwant, even ifhas achieved, it is estimated that was also the sky-high price.”
“先攒着吧,”艾瑞克道:“等特效技术再发展几年,现在要是制作,肯定达不到我想要的效果,即使达到了,估计也是天价了。”Amynods, when received exchange fortheseSuperherocopyright, shehad realizedthisissue, comparesinDC'sSupermanandBatman, the surprisedSuperheroabilityopenedabsolutelyhas hung, therefore, wanted11to showinmoviegeneralthesesuperpowereffects, absolutelycompared withDC'sSuperheroondifficultmany, nowtrulyhas not developed the Superheromovietime.艾米点点头,在换取这些超级英雄版权的时候,她就已经意识到了这个问题,相比于d的超人和蝙蝠侠,惊奇的超级英雄能力绝对是开了挂的,因此,想要在电影上将这些超能力效果11展现出来,绝对要比d的超级英雄难上很多,现在确实还不是开发超级英雄电影的时候。Finished talkingthismatter, Amydiscussed that has telephonedto the Ericofficialgoal: „Kevin Costnerandhismanager at exactly 12 : 00 cancome, Eric, youlook atfirstthisscript.”
谈完了这件事,艾米才商议起了打电话给艾瑞克的正式目的:“凯文科斯特纳和他的经纪人12点整才会过来,艾瑞克,你先看一下这个剧本吧。”Amywas saying, has pulled outscriptfrompackage, has givenEric.艾米说着,又从包里掏出了一个剧本,递给了艾瑞克。Ericcast a sidelong glance the topic of script, the eyeslightlyhas narrowed the eyes.艾瑞克只是瞟了一眼剧本的题目,眼睛就微微眯了起来。
The inertia of historyalso is really superformidable.
历史的惯性还真是超级强大啊。In the scripthome pagewritesseveralwordsstrikingly: «Waterworld».剧本首页上醒目地写着几个单词:《未来水世界》。

“我们向凯文科斯特纳发送《碟中谍》剧本的时候,凯文科斯特纳正在为这部电影做准备,我看过之后,绝对非常有前景,而且凯文科斯特纳还没有雨其他电影公司谈妥,所以我觉得,艾瑞克,为什么你不把这部电影拿下来呢,我感觉这回成为有一部《疯狂的麦克斯《,而且还是水上的麦克斯,对了,你还是先看看剧本吧,我们等一会儿再谈。”艾米说着,断气了面前的咖啡杯。(未完待续。)
