第二天一大早,美国所有主流报纸上都出现了艾瑞克与巴菲特再次会面初步达成并购协议的消息,因为是版面增加的周末版的缘故,《洛杉矶时报》还用了很大篇幅将萤火虫去年从布局到昨天达成协议的过程进行了详细的历数,并对萤火虫将来的发展前景做了一番展望。Ericis having the breakfastwhilewas readingnewspaper, the dining roomentrancetransmitted the slightabnormal noise. Turns headto lookthatKateonlywears a spaciouswhitegentlemanshirtto appearin the dining roomentrance.艾瑞克正一边吃着早餐一边读着报纸,餐厅门口传来轻微的异响。扭头看去,凯特只穿着一件宽大的白色男士衬衫出现在餐厅门口。Ericdiscovered that the womenwere are not self-taughtfoundhisclothesto put on, becausemainlytheypassed the nightbeforeCliff Peak Manorusuallywore the officialformal clothes, the evening dresscandemonstrate that the charm of womanwas not false, butin the dailysituationput onto be possiblenotto be comfortable, therefore after the womengot out of bed, will look forhisclothesto put onfrequently.艾瑞克发现女人们并不是无师自通地找到他的衣服来穿,主要还是因为她们在尖角庄园里过夜之前经常都穿着正式的礼服,晚礼服能够展示女人的魅力不假,但日常情况下穿起来可并不怎么舒服,于是女人们起床之后经常会找来他的衣服穿。Katediscovered that Ericstared at the shirtnexttwolonglegssteadily, the subconsciousnessis slowing down the footstepsto conceal the somewhatunusualstep.凯特发现艾瑞克目不转睛地盯着自己衬衫下两条长腿,下意识放慢了脚步掩饰有些异样的步伐。Untilunder the dinner tableis implicated, Katerelaxed, remembersis tossed about a scenebyEriclast nightmaliciously, Kateraisedat heartimmediatelyflame, butshequicklyrememberedlast night the matter on party, sawnewspaper in Erichand, the expressionsomewhatwas immediately disturbed: „Did Eric, onnewspaperhavelast nightmatter?”
直到在餐桌旁坐下,凯特才松了口气,想起昨晚被艾瑞克狠狠折腾了一番的场景,凯特心里顿时升起一股火苗,但她又很快想起昨晚派对上的事情,看到艾瑞克手中的报纸,语气顿时有些忐忑:“艾瑞克,报纸上有没有昨晚的事情?”EricknowswhatKatefingerisanything, somebadlywith a smilereplied: „Has, isheadlines,”艾瑞克知道凯特指的是什么,有些坏坏地笑着回答道:“有啊,都是头条,”Kateat heartonetight, takesEricnewspaperhastily, turnedseveralpagescontinuously, has not seenanylast nightthemintimate the informationonparty, thisrelaxed, is staringEricbitterly.凯特心里一紧,连忙拿过艾瑞克身边一份报纸,连续翻了几页,都没有看到任何昨晚两人在派对上亲热的信息,这才松了一口气,然后恨恨地瞪着艾瑞克。Ericsets outto arrive in the kitchen, will give the breakfast that Katekeepsto carryto handin front ofher, said: „Relax, last nightmatteralsodid not haveanypictureevidence, will not haveanymainstream media to report. Even if thesethird-classtabloid newspaperhearsnews to make groundless accusations, mustconsider the consequence, thereforemostwill only spreadin the circle.”艾瑞克起身走到厨房里,将给凯特留的早餐端过来递到她面前,说道:“放心吧,昨晚的事情又没有任何照片证据,不会有任何主流媒体会报道的。就算是那些三流小报听到消息想要捕风捉影一番,也要考虑一下后果,所以最多只会在圈子里流传一下。”Katejustrelaxed, takes up a slice of bread to eat. Hears the Ericlast few words, gains ground: „That manypeopleknew, theyin secretwill definitely speak irresponsibly.”凯特刚刚放松下来,拿起一片面包就要吃。听到艾瑞克最后一句话,又抬起头:“那么多人都知道了,他们肯定会私下里乱说的。”„Wefrom, on the other handunder the consideration,”Ericsits downon the chairagain, took upjustthatnewspaper. Continues saying: „Thismatterdoes not haveanyfaulttoyou, not?”
“我们从另外一方面考虑下,”艾瑞克重新在椅子上坐下,拿起刚刚那份报纸。继续道:“这件事对你没有任何坏处,不是吗?”Climbs up the Ericsuchbigbackstage, naturallywill not haveanyfault, insteadwill makeheracting careerto bring it up a level. ButKatehas pondered over, thinksat heartsomewhatstrangely. However, regardingthinksthoughts that for a while not the clearmatter, Katehas not gotten to the root of a matter, in addition‚amount of exercise’ was too biglast night, Kate that was already big and hungryabandonsthesequickly, copes with the breakfastwith single-hearted devotion.
攀上艾瑞克这么大的后台,当然不会有任何坏处,反而会让她的演艺事业更上一层楼。但凯特琢磨了一番,心里还是觉得有些怪怪的。不过,对于一时想不明白的事情,凯特也没有寻根究底的心思,再加上昨晚‘运动量’太大,早就饥肠辘辘的凯特很快抛开这些,专心对付起早餐来。
The Ericsplit visionnotes the expressionchange of Kate. The happy expression of corners of the mouthwas thicker.艾瑞克余光注意到凯特的表情变化。嘴角的笑意更浓了一些。
The newspasses on, toKate the reputation and enterprisewill not causeanythingto harm, after all, althoughplaces the HollywoodPyramidpeak, Eric is actually notthese50-60 years oldold man, heandKateageis similar, knows the matter that theyassociate, most peoplewill only envyKate.
消息传出去,对凯特的名声和事业都不会造成什么损害,毕竟,虽然身处好莱坞金字塔顶端,艾瑞克却不是那些五六十岁的老头子,他与凯特的年龄相仿,知晓两人交往的事情,大部分人只会羡慕凯特。However, thismatterabsolutelywill not haveanyinfluence, the most importantpoint. Afterknowingrelations of EricandKate, daresto provoke the Katemannot to be manyon own initiative.
但是,这件事也绝对不会没有任何影响,最最重要的一点。在知道艾瑞克与凯特的关系之后,敢于主动招惹凯特的男人就不多了。Kateis wipingjamtoward the breadon, unknowinglygains ground, justsees the happy expression on Ericface. Womansixth sensemakesherrealizethisexpressionkeenlydefinitelywithoneselfrelated, vigilantasking: „Whatbadidea are youhaving?”凯特往面包上抹着果酱,不经意抬头,刚好看到艾瑞克脸上的笑意。女人敏锐地第六感让她意识到这表情肯定与自己有关,警惕的问道:“你在打什么坏主意?”Ericsaid with a smile: „Yousaid that wasbadidea, when do yousee the intelligence quotientnormalvillainto discloseyourthoughtson own initiative?”艾瑞克笑道:“你都说是坏主意了,你什么时候见过智商正常的反派会主动透露自己的心思?”Katelightsnort|hum, picked up the diningspeed, cleared offfrontbreakfastquickly, looked before oneandEricbody, emptiedtableware. Has hesitated, Kateset outto tidy upon own initiative.凯特轻哼了一声,加快了用餐速度,很快将面前的早餐一扫而光,看了看自己和艾瑞克身前都空了的餐具。迟疑了下,凯特还是起身主动收拾了起来。Returns to the dining room, Kateto see that once more one side Ericopenedhad just placed the notebook, is examininganything.
再次回到餐厅,凯特见到艾瑞克已经打开了刚刚放在一边的笔记本电脑,正在查看着什么。Sat downonjustseat, seesEricnot to talkwithoneselfon own initiative, Katetookjustthatnewspaperat willto turnbored.
在刚刚的位子上坐下,见艾瑞克没有主动跟自己搭话,凯特无聊地拿过刚刚那张报纸随意地翻了起来。Saw that possiblycarries on the anti-monopolyinvestigationtoFirefly and ABCmerger the article, the expression that the copywriterusesis shocking, completeFireflyandexpression of ABCat allimpossiblesmoothmerge.
看到一篇可能会对萤火虫与ab合并案进行反垄断调查的文章,撰稿人用的语气非常耸人听闻,完全一副萤火虫与ab根本不可能顺利合并的语气。Katesomewhattakes pleasure in others'misfortunesfirst, butthoughtimmediatelyoneshould notthis, thereforeput out a handto touchEricgently, handed overthatpage of newspaper: „Eric, whatthisabovesaidisreal?”凯特先是有些幸灾乐祸,但随即又觉得自己不该这样,于是伸手轻轻碰了碰艾瑞克,将那页报纸递过去:“艾瑞克,这上面说的是不是真的?”Erichas sweptone, hejusthad read, said: „Real, notreal.”艾瑞克扫了一眼,他刚刚已经读过,道:“是真的,也不是真的。”„Suchdo not always be perfunctoryto be good, toonon-gentleman.”
“你不要总是这么敷衍好不好,太不绅士了。”„Good, sinceyouwantto knowthat”EricbeckonstowardKate, makingKatesittoownside, said: „Youlookedthatthisarticle said that Fireflypurchases the ABCbiggesthindranceinABC, butoriginallyinternalbiggesthindranceWarren Buffettas well asTom Murphycomplied withthistransaction, theyare controlling40% of ABCstock, in additionotherside with the Fireflyshareholder, favorshas gone far beyond51% the shareholderowning stocksshare of merge, thishas not established.”
“好吧,既然你想知道,”艾瑞克朝凯特招招手,让凯特坐到自己身边,道:“你看,这篇文章说的,萤火虫收购ab最大的阻碍在ab内部,但原本内部最大的阻碍沃伦.巴菲特以及汤姆.墨菲都已经答应了这笔交易,他们两个人就掌控着ab股份的40%,再加上其他倒向萤火虫的股东,倾向于合并的股东持股份额已经远远超过51%,这一条就已经不成立了。”Katehear of Ericsaidthese, immediatelyfeelsthatsheis not interestedintheseprobably. However, sincewassheprovokesthistopic, Katehas hadto refer to the reportcontent, pursuedasks: „Thatthis, anti-monopolyinvestigation?”凯特听艾瑞克说完这些,顿时感觉到,她自己好像真的对这些不感兴趣。不过,既然是她挑起了这个话题,凯特只好指了指报道内容,追问道:“那这个呢,的反垄断调查?”„The monopolylimits of federalanti-monopoly lawareveryfuzzy, 90%industry magnatesdevelop the certain extent, will appearapproaches the behavior of monopoly, thisisinevitable, so long asnobodyinvestigatedthat the mansionfunctional departmentalsofewon own initiativelooks for trouble. Investigationcause that the majority ofcounter-ridgessettle a lawsuitis the colleagueenterprisetosuppress the competitoractuallyshoulders, butthisalsoneeds the support of the large amount of fundsandpersonal connection.

Onecannot obtainanyadvantage, disposablehas raised uptwoformidableenemiestooneself. The matter of thisgain does not equal the loss, Ithink that nobodyis willingto do.”
“联邦反垄断法的垄断界定很多都是非常模糊的,90的行业巨头发展到一定程度,都会出现一些擦边垄断的行为,这是无可避免的,只要没有人追究,正府职能部门也很少去主动找麻烦。大部分反垄断案的调查起因其实都是同行企业为了压制竞争对手而挑起的,但这也需要大量资金和人脉的支持。如果要打官司,萤火虫是绝对不缺资金的,至于人脉,为了培植公司的正治代言人,萤火虫现在每年在有偿正府顾问和正治献金等方面的花费就超过五百万美元,ab那边也同样如此。而且,萤火虫与ab的合并并没有触犯联邦反垄断法,即使有人跳出来阻止,也只能起到一些拖延时间的作用。自己得不到什么好处,又一次性给自己竖起了两个强大的敌人。这种得不偿失的事情,我想没有人愿意做。”Kateslight bow, does not know that must continuethistopic, nearbynotebookhas heard a dropdropsound. Soundsto be similarto the ting of pager.凯特微微点点头,不知道还要不要继续这个话题,旁边的笔记本电脑传来了一阵滴滴声。听起来类似于传呼机的铃声。Ericalsosomewhatsurprisedlylooked at the past, discoveredon the computerscreennot to know when presented a dialogwindow.艾瑞克也有些惊讶地看过去,发现电脑屏幕上不知道什么时候出现了一个对话窗口。Indialogwindowspringsoneline of charactersrapidly: „Thisis the testing version, Ihelpedyouinstall, triedwhat kind of?”
紧接着,对话窗口里迅速弹出一行字:“这是测试版,我帮你装上了,试试怎么样?”Is staring in the dialog box‚Steve’ the namehas gawked for a halfsecond. Ericismakesat heartfirstfinally the instant messengersoftwaretoSteve Mitnicksomewhatjoyfully, immediatelyonat heartwas scolding a deserves deathhacker, thenknocksansweringrapidly: „Youenteredmycomputerunexpectedlyblack, don't youthinkthisverynotpoliteness?”
盯着对话框里‘史蒂夫’的名字愣了半秒钟。艾瑞克心里先是对史蒂夫.米特尼克终于把即时通讯软件弄出来有些喜悦,随即就就在心里骂了一句该死的黑客,然后迅速敲出一段回话:“你竟然黑进了我的电脑,难道你不觉得这样很不礼貌吗?”„Oh, sorry, Ithought that like thishelpsyouinstallis more convenient.”
“哦,抱歉,我只是觉得这样帮你装上更加便捷一些。”Ericmay unable to listen to the meaning that anythingis sorryfromthese words, grips the mouseto startto examine various functions of softwarereluctantly, aftermakinginstant messengersoftwaretentative plan, Ericone after anotherremembers that somematerialshave passed to the opposite party, althoughthemodel of instant messengersoftware of this time the contact surfaceis somewhat crude. But the function of softwarewas on the other hand good, the account numberrank, the user informationestablishment, the simpleexpression, the mailboxconnectionas well as the chatgroupsamedo not lack, moreoveroperatesis smooth. AlthoughSteve Mitnickisonedelayscrazily, buttechnological strengthactuallyabsolutelytop.艾瑞克从这句话里可听不出什么抱歉的意思,无奈地握住鼠标开始查看软件的各种功能,在提出即时通讯软件设想之后,艾瑞克就陆续将自己记忆中的一些资料传给了对方,此时的这款即时通讯软件虽然界面有些简陋。但软件的功能相对来说已经非常不错了,账号等级、用户信息设置、简单表情、邮箱关联以及聊天群组一样不缺,而且运行非常流畅。史蒂夫.米特尼克虽然是一个拖延狂,但技术实力却绝对顶尖。Katehas been staring at the dialog of EricandSteve Mitnickcuriously, seesEricto inspect the software, askedcuriously: „Whatthing is this?”凯特一直好奇地盯着艾瑞克与史蒂夫.米特尼克的对话,见艾瑞克在检查软件,好奇地问道:“这是什么东西?”„A model of chatsoftware,”Ericreplied: „Hadthis, youcanwithplacing the remotefriendcarry on the writingto chatthrough the network.”
“一款聊天软件,”艾瑞克答道:“有了这个,你就可以通过网络与身处异地的朋友进行文字聊天。”„Oh,”Katecame the interestimmediately, extends the small handcuriously on the keyboardstruckone‚hello’ the word. Was studyingEricjustappearance, has pressed down the carriage return, then the looks likesaw the child of interestingtoy, somewhatjoyfullystared at the word that in the windowwere sending out. An anticipationopposite partyresponds the appearance.
“哦,”凯特顿时来了兴致,好奇的伸出小手在键盘上敲打出了一个‘hello’的单词。学着艾瑞克刚刚的模样,按下了回车键,然后像看到有趣玩具的小孩子,有些喜悦地盯着窗口上自己发出的单词。一副期待对方做出回应的模样。Steve Mitnickhas really made the responsequickly: „What is this?”史蒂夫.米特尼克果然很快做出了回应:“这是什么意思?”Ericstrucka few wordsto return: „Mywomanwas notifyingyou.”艾瑞克敲打出一句话回了过去:“我女人在跟你打招呼。”Katejustmustlodge the protestto the name of Eric, the oppositecameone: „Oh, heard that yourwomanare very many.”凯特刚刚要对艾瑞克的称呼提出抗议,对面就又来了一句:“哦,听说你女人挺多的。”„......”
“……”Ericseizedto reach the small hand of oneselfwaisthastily, comfortinghas patted the racket, spat the troughat heart: Canspeak, does not have a look at the situation.艾瑞克连忙捉住伸向自己腰间的小手,安抚地拍了拍,心里吐槽:会不会说话啊,也不看看场合。Really. Factsshowed the specific weightdraggingsicknesspatient who mesh wireanotherendhasto discuss a request: „Sorry, these wordsare probably inopportune, hasn't yourwomanbeen angry?”
果然。事实证明网线另外一端的重度拖延症患者还是有情商的:“抱歉,这句话好像不合时宜,你女人没生气吧?”Katewithdrawing, flingsto a Ericsupercilious look, thentyped on the keyboardclumsily, sentone: „Iam angryvery much.”凯特抽回手,甩给艾瑞克一个白眼,然后笨拙地敲打起了键盘,发过去了一句:“我很生气。”Oppositesilenta while, returned toone: „I am sorry.”
对面沉默了一会儿,才回了一句:“我很抱歉。”Ericdoes not wantto makethemsuchsuperficiallyexchange, snatches the keyboard controlpower, the fingertiphas jumped, fastexchangeswithSteve Mitnick: „Since the softwarehas done, thatas soon as possiblemakes the promotedplan . Moreover, Inon-periodicallywill also issueyoumysomeideas.”艾瑞克可不想让两人就这么不痛不痒地交流下去,抢过键盘控制权,指尖跳跃,飞快地与史蒂夫.米特尼克交流起来:“既然软件已经做出来了,那就尽快把推广方案做出来,另外,我也会不定期地把自己的一些想法发给你们。”„Thisis only the testing version, Ithought that againopenlycarry outtoJunetowell.”
“这只是测试版,我觉得还是到六月份再公开推行为好。”„Whatissuealsohas?”
“还有什么问题吗?”„Issueare many, althoughhas mademanyimprovements, buthasmanybugas before, Idiscovered that the ownat leastseveralmethodsexplain the cryptographic system of thismodel of software.”
“问题很多,虽然已经做过了很多次完善,但依旧有很多bug,我发现自己至少有十几种方法破解这款软件的加密系统。”„My methodcannot think, therefore, do not wantto becomeothersyoulike thischangestoo, inthisworld the normal personare more.”
“我一种方法都想不起来,所以,不要把别人都想成你这样的变太,这个世界上还是正常人多一些的。”„Ido not changetoo.”
“我不是变太。”„Ido not strugglethiswithyou, withinonemonthtakes the promotedplan, do not forget the registration of patent, as forthesebug that you said that laterpatchedslowlywas good, inthisworlddid not have100%perfectsoftware.”
“我不跟你争这个,一个月之内把推广方案拿出来,还有,别忘了专利的注册,至于你说的那些bug,以后慢慢修补就好了,这世界上本来就没有100完善的软件。”„Good,” the Steve Mitnickcompromisesaid: „Imakethemdo the first promotedplan . Moreover, youhad said that must comeBostonto chat, whencomes?”
“好吧,”史蒂夫.米特尼克妥协道:“我让他们先把推广方案做出来,另外,你说过要来波士顿聊聊的,什么时候过来?”Ericsaid: „Do youhave the attentionnews?”艾瑞克道:“你有关注新闻吗?”„Has, probablyyouattended the Golden Globe Awardpresentation ceremony, Ijustsee.”
“有啊,好像你出席了金球奖的颁奖典礼,我刚好看到。”„Thatisonemonth ago matter,”Ericspeechless: „Inowam very busy, perhapsnext monthwill have free time.”
“那已经是一个多月以前的事情了,”艾瑞克一阵无语:“我现在很忙,或许下个月有空。”„Thenonnext month,”opposite partyreturned toone, saidquickly: „Oh, Ijustcast a sidelong glance the Yahoomain page, knows that youwere busy atanything.”
“那就下个月,”对方回了一句,很快又说道:“哦,我刚刚瞟了一眼雅虎主页,知道你在忙什么了。”
The dialog of conclusionandSteve Mitnick, Ericopened the mailboxto look, Alanhas senthisschedule.
结束与史蒂夫.米特尼克的对话,艾瑞克打开邮箱看了一下,艾伦已经将他的日程表发了过来。„I the airplanes of threeo'clock, Ericreferred to the form on screensayingtoKatein the afternoon”.
“我下午三点钟的飞机,”艾瑞克指了指屏幕上的表格对凯特道。„I have mattertodayprobably,”Katestands upsubconsciously, said.
“我今天好像也有事情呢,”凯特下意识站起身,说道。Ericshakes the head, drawsto sit downKateonce more, says with a smile: „Yourroaddid not walkwell, but must makeanything.”艾瑞克摇头,将凯特拉过来再次坐下,笑道:“你路都走不好了,还要去做什么。”
The Katecomplexionblushedhas hammeredonEric: „Thishas not blamedyou.”凯特脸色羞红地在艾瑞克身上锤了一下:“这还不是都怪你。”„Naturally, Ihave not deniedthis point,”Ericsaid with a smile: „Last nightyousaid that youwant the beautifulbeach house, was inferior that Imakethemsendsomehousematerials, do youselect?”
“当然,我也没有否认这一点,”艾瑞克笑道:“昨晚你说你想要漂亮的海滨别墅,不如我让他们送来一些房屋资料,你挑一下?”„Does not want,”Katerefusesto saywithout hesitation: „Igo backto livewithCharlietogether.”
“不要了,”凯特毫不犹豫地就拒绝道:“我回去和查莉一起住吧。”Ericnods, said: „Good, thatthis.”艾瑞克点点头,道:“好吧,那就这样。”Katehas gawked, shealsothinks that Ericdefinitelywill persuade, has not thought that thismansucheasilyslightlycrossedthismatter, somewhatlosesat heartsuddenly, butinhas not displayedwellin the expression.凯特愣了下,她还以为艾瑞克肯定会劝说一番,没想到这个男人这么轻易地就略过了这件事,心里突然又有些失落,但好在并没有在表情上表现出来。Theystayedmorningtimein the villa, afternoontime, ErickeptinKate the villa the training, oneselftake the airplaneto fly toNew York.
