#612: Could not afford

Said here, Melanie realizes these matters suddenly, since she can think that Eric will definitely unable to consider, even if he has not considered really that regarding will also think of these in his surrounding commercial elites. ﹝ Sees appearance of Eric slight bow, Melanie asks with a smile: „Eric, your this time comes Boston, should solves these problems?” 说完这里,梅兰妮突然意识到这些事情既然她能够想到,艾瑞克肯定不会考虑不到,即使他真的没有考虑到,围绕在他周围的商业精英们也会想到这些。﹝见艾瑞克微微点头的模样,梅兰妮笑着问道:“艾瑞克,你这次来波士顿,应该就是解决这些问题的吧？” „Last week, I just merged the brand-new Yahoo Internet company three companies.” “上个星期,我刚刚把三家公司合并成全新的雅虎网络公司。” Melanie hears Eric to say the name of new company, shows look suddenly, said: „Many people initially judged in the classroom, Yahoo web portal is the centers of gravity of these three companies, now looks like, fact really so.” 梅兰妮听到艾瑞克说出新公司的名字,露出恍然的神色,道:“很多人当初在课堂上就判断,雅虎门户网站才是这三家公司的重心,现在看来,事实果然如此呢。” Eric continues to ask: „About the business landscape, what view you have?” 艾瑞克继续问道:“关于商业转型呢,你有什么看法？” Melanie said: „Implants the advertisement and membership service, I can think temporarily these two, in addition, I have not approved the IE Browser free strategy, if adopts the fees model, although the number of users expands will not look like now is so quick, the income of but bringing also sufficiently maintains the normal operations of three companies, Eric, I can know that you such will do why, IE Browser so far did not have any competitor in all operation system platforms, the free strategy is not obviously sane.” 梅兰妮道:“植入广告和会员服务,我能想到的暂时就这两项了,此外,我并不赞成ie浏览器的免费策略,如果采取收费模式,虽然用户数扩张的不会像现在这么快,但带来的收入也足以维持三家公司的正常运营,艾瑞克,我可以知道你为什么会这么做吗,ie浏览器到目前为止在所有操作系统平台上都还没有任何竞争者,免费策略显然是非常不理智的。” „This is I and agreement of World Wide Web founder Tim Berners-Lee, two years ago the World Wide Web many technical standard has not been drawed up, to let the World Wide Web technical standard of final edition inclines to IE Browser, I chose have such done. Moreover, since you had realized that the Yahoo gateway is the key points of three companies, then should also understand that what the browser software are more is provides a connection to affect for Yahoo, is used to expand the Yahoo web portal user scale, compares, the profit of software was not that important.” “这是我与万维网创始人蒂姆.伯纳斯.李的约定,两年前万维网的很多技术标准还没有制定,为了让最终版本的万维网技术标准向ie浏览器进行倾斜,我才选择了这么做。而且,既然你们已经意识到雅虎门户才是三家公司的重点,那么也应该明白,浏览器软件更多的是为雅虎提供一个接口作用,用来扩大雅虎门户网站的用户规模,相比起来,软件的盈利就并不是那么重要了。” Melanie remembers, since last year World Wide Web announced that completely after all users around the world open free, other small regional networks as well as the charge networks quickly go into hiding, World Wide Web now already generating the Internet network within global range. Chooses the free strategy for the technical standard incline of World Wide Web, although gave up the temporary profit, but Eric actually obtained were more. After all. After standard generation, once promotes, is very difficult to change again, but the Eric actually hand grasps is conforming to these technical standards the browser software product, and these two years time. His the company in hand in definitely also the casting had a solid patent barrier, that before others smash this patent barrier, IE Browser unique this our only shop, simply speaking, thoroughly has monopolized the Internet connection channel. 梅兰妮想起自从去年万维网宣布完全向世界范围内的所有用户免费开放之后,其他小型区域网络以及收费网络很快就销声匿迹,万维网现在已经展成了全球范围内的互联网网络。为了万维网的技术标准倾斜而选择免费策略,虽然放弃了暂时的利润,但艾瑞克却获得了更多。毕竟。标准制定之后一旦推广,就很难再改变,而艾瑞克却手握着符合这些技术标准的浏览器软件产品,而且这两年时间。他手中的公司肯定也已经铸造起了一道坚实的专利壁垒,那么在别人打破这层专利壁垒之前,ie浏览器将独此一家别无分店,简单来说,就是彻底垄断了互联网接口渠道。 Thinks the clear advantages success and failure. Melanie somewhat admires the boldness of sand another side young man: „To be honest, Eric, if I on your seat, even if can understand that browser free strategy advantage, I am also very difficult to make with your same resolution, gives up tens of millions USD extremely easy to obtain benefits is not everyone can achieve. ﹝?(” 想清楚其中的利弊得失。梅兰妮就有些佩服地沙另一边这个年轻男人的魄力:“说实话,艾瑞克,如果我在你的位子上,即使能够明白浏览器免费策略的好处,我也很难做出和你相同的决断,放弃数千万美元唾手可得的利益可不是什么人都能够做得到的。﹝?〔” Although Carolyn bustles about in the kitchen is making the coffee, but has also been inclining the head and listening attentively their dialog, at this time carries the coffeepot to enter the living room to three people but actually the coffee, hears Melanie these words, as if she also received praise. Said: „Therefore Eric so is fierce.” 卡洛琳虽然在厨房里忙碌着冲咖啡,但也一直侧耳倾听着两人的对话,此时端着咖啡壶走进客厅给三个人倒着咖啡,听到梅兰妮这句话,仿佛她自己也受到了夸奖似的。道:“所以艾瑞克才这么厉害啊。” Melanie looks at the Carolyn self-satisfied small appearance, teased: „Carolyn, why did not say why you can result in BSP in this class \; The Carolyn cheek is red, refuted righteously: „ Now can prove my judgment is right.” 梅兰妮看着卡洛琳得意的小模样,调侃道:“卡洛琳,为什么不说说你在这堂课上为什么会得bsp\;卡洛琳脸蛋红红,却理直气壮地反驳道:“现在已经能够证明我的判断是对的了。” „Eric, you do not know that Carolyn almost all classroom result is a, but has actually resulted in only one about the case of Yahoo Internet company, because we have not investigated you and World Wide Web Alliance these agreement contents, she actually insisted that your free strategy not wrong, cannot put out the real diagnosis actually also to talk back to the teacher.” Melanie was saying was saying, remembered then situation, hehe has smiled. “艾瑞克,你不知道吧,卡洛琳几乎所有的课堂成绩都是a呢,但关于雅虎网络公司的案例中却得了唯一一个,因为我们并没有调查到你与万维网联盟的那些协议内容,她却坚持你的免费策略没有错,拿不出实证却还与导师顶嘴。”梅兰妮说着说着,想起当时的情形,呵呵笑了起来。 Eric also shows the smile, said to Carolyn: „Perhaps I can give you to prepare some materials. Let your teacher change result.” 艾瑞克也露出微笑,对卡洛琳道:“或许我可以给你准备一些材料。让你那位导师把成绩改过来。” Carolyn facing their teasing, sits side Melanie charmingly, pulls her arm not to have the lethality to stare Eric. 卡洛琳面对两人的调侃,娇羞地坐在梅兰妮身旁,挽住她的手臂毫无杀伤力地瞪着艾瑞克。 After the joke, Eric carried the coffee to sip several lightly, after putting down the cup, asked: „Melanie, do you currently have your work to plan?” 玩笑之后,艾瑞克端起咖啡轻啜了几口,放下杯子后问道:“梅兰妮,你现在有自己的工作规划了吗？” Melanie hears Eric these words. Immediately understood Eric just probed her intention, shakes the head says with a smile: „Did not have.” 梅兰妮听到艾瑞克这句话。立刻明白了艾瑞克刚刚试探她的意图,摇头微笑道:“还没有。” „, What for me comes to work?” “那么,来为我工作什么样？” Melanie looked at pupil sparklingly Carolyn, is probing asking: „That Carolyn?” 梅兰妮看了眼眸子亮晶晶地卡洛琳,试探着问道:“那卡洛琳呢？” „Naturally is you together, in the next few years I will increase the investment in Internet industry, at present my individual assistant team majority of energy place in the media, if you join, just can make up for the personnel vacancy in this aspect.” “当然是你们两个一起啊,未来几年我会加大在互联网产业方面的投资,目前我的个人助理团队大部分精力都放在传媒上,如果你们加入的话,刚好能够弥补这方面的人员空缺。” Melanie envies looks that did not have the plans to pull to tighten oneself arm, the packed hole anticipated Carolyn that she can comply with.?( ﹝, although the invitation of Eric is very sincere, she is also excited, but she realized that Eric such does, very possible is hopes one and Carolyn work together, while convenient pure girl who can consider this not any plans. Melanie was born in an ordinary middle class family, to collect to read the MBA school expense, her after college has worked for two years in a Atlanta securities company, in the two years the time also made her realize profoundly manipulating strategically of office normal treatment, that environment, Carolyn such thoughts will not be purely difficult to adapt toward the girl who the dangerous place thought the will of the people. Can be selected as the staff who Eric this kind of level media tycoon works absolutely is the one in a hundredcream of the crop elite, these person of working abilities are absolutely without a doubt, but plays the office normal treatment absolutely to be also more adept, loses Carolyn to that group of people, even if there is Eric to protect personally, it is estimated that also only then bullied share, moreover that group of people will not make Eric presently they bully this girl absolutely, by the Carolyn disposition, perhaps presently not. 梅兰妮羡慕地看着毫无心机地挽紧了自己手臂,满眼期待她能够答应下来的卡洛琳。?(﹝虽然艾瑞克的这份邀请很诚恳,她也非常心动,但她还是意识到,艾瑞克这么做,很可能是希望自己与卡洛琳一起工作,顺便能够照顾这个没什么心机的单纯女孩。梅兰妮生于一个普通的中产阶级家庭,为了凑齐读mba的学费,她大学毕业后在亚特兰大一家证券公司工作过两年时间,这两年时间也让她深刻体会到了办公室正治的勾心斗角,那种环境当中,卡洛琳这样的心思单纯根本不会将人心往险恶处去想的女孩是很难适应的。能够被选中为艾瑞克这样一个级传媒大亨工作的员工绝对是百里挑一的精英,这些人工作能力绝对毋庸置疑,但玩起办公室正治也绝对更加娴熟,将卡洛琳丢到那群人当中,即使有艾瑞克亲自保护着,估计也只有被欺负的份儿,而且那群人绝对不会让艾瑞克现他们欺负了这妮子,以卡洛琳性格,或许自己都现不了。 Eric had not realized that Melanie guessed correctly his thoughts, sees the girl to look hesitant, said: „Although is only my individual assistant, but this work has big promotion prospect absolutely, my first assistant Alan Fisman originally had held the post of prime time program unit vice-president Manager to ABC TV Network last month, for these years in the office many people were also promoted as the company management. Moreover, exercises for several years later, you presently, even if you cannot obtain to promote in Firefly, will have many head-hunting companies to dig the person happily.” 艾瑞克并没有意识到梅兰妮已经猜出了他的心思,见女郎面露犹豫,说道:“虽然只是我的个人助理,但这份工作绝对拥有非常大的晋升前景,我原本的第一助理艾伦.菲斯曼上个月已经到ab电视网担任黄金时段节目制作部副总经理了,这几年办公室里也有不少人被晋升为公司管理层。而且,锻炼几年之后,你就会现,即使你在萤火虫内部得不到晋升,也会有很多猎头公司高兴挖人的。” Last point or Alan occasionally treat as an amusing thing to tell Eric, in order to eavesdropped on the Firefly movie obtains continuously successfully ‚secret’. The assistant who in the Eric assistant office these are responsible for the keeping up movie progress is always poached by other Film Studio high salaries, the assistant who for several years are responsible for these work has traded several, formulates very strict security provision as well as the employment contract until the Firefly personnel, this trend gradually cools. And. Many Film Studio understood slowly that the Firefly movie succeeds the biggest secret or Eric this ‚brain’, but is not assistant office these ‚eye’. However, even so, digs the behavior of person actually not to cut off from the Eric assistant office. Especially Firefly has the movie to attain the successful time each time greatly. 最后一点还是艾伦偶尔当做一件趣事告诉艾瑞克的,为了能够探听出萤火虫影片连续获得成功的‘秘诀’。艾瑞克助理办公室里那些负责跟进影片进度的助理就总是被其他电影公司高薪挖走,几年来负责这些工作的助理换了好几遍,直到萤火虫的人事部门制定非常严格的保密条款以及雇佣合约,这股趋势才逐渐冷却下来。而且。很多电影公司慢慢地已经明白过来,萤火虫影片成功最大的秘诀还是艾瑞克这颗‘大脑’,而并不是助理办公室这些‘眼睛’。不过,即使如此,从艾瑞克助理办公室内挖人的行为却从来没有断绝过。特别是每次萤火虫有影片大获成功的时候。 Melanie is certainly clear this work the promotion prospect, held the post of Eric such one to create a series of commercial miracle the assistant of legendary rich and powerful people, even if questioned that this work personal history has been enough also to be higher than in the gold content of MBA degree Harvard attained her. Just 梅兰妮当然清楚这份工作的晋升前景,担任艾瑞克这样一位创造了一系列商业奇迹的传奇富豪的助理,哪怕只是其中质疑,这份工作履历已经足以比她在哈佛拿到的mba学位的含金量还要高一些。只不过 Hesitant some little time, felt Carolyn gently to swing own arm, Melanie could not bear comply finally. 犹豫了好一会儿,感受到卡洛琳又轻轻摇了摇自己的手臂,梅兰妮终于还是忍不住答应了下来。 maid on maid, in any case this ‚princess’, not only will not carry any rack, even basic including own ‚status’ could not realize. 女仆就女仆吧,反正这位‘公主’不但不会端什么架子,甚至根本连自己的‘身份’都意识不到。 After Eric leaves, the Melanie talent and Eric movement have pinched identically the Carolyn tender and delicate cheek, in the expression is bringing envying: „He may suffice really to you. No wonder will make your this silly girl give instead of taking whole-heartedly.” 艾瑞克离开后,梅兰妮才与艾瑞克动作如出一辙地捏了把卡洛琳娇嫩的脸蛋,语气里带着羡慕:“他对你可真够好的。怪不得会让你这傻妮子死心塌地地倒贴呢。” Very early in the morning gets up, because today John Chambers and Steve Case the reason that wants 6 to continue to catch up with, Eric has handled itself slightly. Washes, scraped off saved many days of scattered in disorder stubble, stood before the bathroom mirror, stared at that young face to look for several seconds, the heart of hearts had a bewildered feeling. 一大早起来,因为今天约翰.钱伯斯和史蒂夫.凯斯要6续赶来的缘故,艾瑞克稍微打理了一下自己。洗漱完毕,刮掉了积蓄多天的散乱胡茬,站在裕室镜子前,盯着那张年轻的脸看了几秒,内心深处生出一股莫名其妙的感觉。 Also was graceful? 难道是又帅了？ Just was cracking a joke with oneself to the mirror bored, Eric heard the dings, wiped the face with the towel hastily, wears a light grey check shirt to open the door. 刚刚对着镜子无聊地跟自己开了个玩笑,艾瑞克就听到了门铃声,连忙用毛巾擦了擦脸,穿上一件浅灰色格子衬衫打开了房门。 Chris beyond AND gate said good morning. They chatted at will are walking toward dining room together. 与门外的克里斯道了声早安。两人随意聊着一起朝餐厅走去。 The guest who the hotel breakfast dines are not many, will meet couple days ago also Tina Brown, but this works woman hurriedly to determine into after duty Yahoo, impatiently put into the work. Now was leaving Yahoo Headquarters not far away to rent a house, even has been planning to let the husband and child moves to Boston together. 酒店早餐用餐的客人并不多,前几天还会遇到蒂娜.布朗,不过这个做事风风火火的女人确定入职雅虎后,就迫不及待地投入到了工作当中。现在已经在离雅虎总部不远处租了一套房子,甚至已经在计划着让丈夫和孩子一起搬到波士顿来。 Last night Eric and Chris discussed in detail met with the cooperation intention of Bill Gates reaching, and officially informed several other heads in Yahoo Internet company through the telephone. 昨晚艾瑞克与克里斯已经详细讨论了与比尔.盖茨会面所达成的合作意向,并且通过电话知会了雅虎网络公司的另外几个负责人。 Has had the breakfast, Eric and Chris then in a hurry hurries to toward Yahoo Headquarters. 吃过早餐,艾瑞克和克里斯便匆匆朝雅虎总部赶去。 The time just passed eight o'clock, Ian Gunier and other key personnel in charge arrived at the company. 时间刚过八点钟,伊恩.格尼尔等几个主要负责人就已经到了公司。 As the Oracle software company once Manager person who Microsoft treated as the sworn enemy, the style understanding of Ian Gunier Bill Gates other present be more than people. Therefore also appears heavyhearted. 作为将微软当做死对头的甲骨文软件公司曾经的经理人,伊恩.格尼尔对比尔.盖茨的行事风格了解要比在座的其他人都要多。因此也就显得忧心忡忡。 Ian Gunier is very clear, if not choose with Microsoft cooperates, then Yahoo and Microsoft definitely will move toward the opposition, but the present Yahoo Internet company completely not with the qualifications that Microsoft opposes. Although has Eric such backer, Eric also indicated that can use fully supports Yahoo, but Ian Gunier thought that according to capital by the market iron rule of advantage, in both sides fight in the life and death situation, to get more interests as far as possible, Eric will possibly give up the Yahoo Internet company, in his opinion the Eric enterprise foundation in Hollywood, will give up Yahoo does not become many harm to other party. 伊恩.格尼尔很清楚,如果不选择与微软合作,那么雅虎与微软肯定会走向对立,而现在的雅虎网络公司完全没有与微软对立的资格。虽然拥有艾瑞克这样的靠山,艾瑞克也表示会倾尽全力支持雅虎,但伊恩.格尼尔还是觉得,按照资本逐利的市场铁则,在双方斗得你死我活的情况下,为了尽量获得更多的利益,艾瑞克很可能会放弃雅虎网络公司,在他看来艾瑞克的事业根基在好莱坞,放弃雅虎并不会对他造成多少损害。 Now, choice that although Eric makes cooperates with Microsoft, but this cooperation agreement is disadvantageous to Yahoo, Yahoo will carry on the IPO operation next year, five years, want from the money market gain enough show fund, Yahoo 6 to continue the sell the stock share unable to be lower than 2 o %, the management will also obtain 2 o % stocks, then the stock in Eric this major stockholder hand will not be higher than 6 o %, once Microsoft attains % five years of time buys the stockholder's rights, when the time comes Eric individual stock will reduce to % below, looks like in Ian Gunier, this procedure is not inferior to five years later the Yahoo domination. Surrendering something submissively. 现在,虽然艾瑞克做出的选择是与微软进行合作,但这份合作协议却对雅虎非常不利,雅虎明年就将进行ipo操作,五年时间,想要从金融市场获取足够的展资金,雅虎6续出售的股票份额不会低于2o%,管理层也将获得2o%的股份,那么艾瑞克这个大股东手中的股份不会高于6o%,一旦微软拿到%的五年期购股权,到时候艾瑞克的个人股份会降低到%以下,在伊恩.格尼尔看来,这种做法不亚于五年后将雅虎的控制权。拱手让人。 As a 40-year-old middle-aged person, saw with one's own eyes Yahoo browser software, web portal and online mailbox and other services of created a series of growth data marvelously, Ian Gunier had realized one personally will possibly participate in opening of time, therefore, in the conference room among several people, he was most does not want by that person who own painstaking care drained. 作为一个年届不惑的中年人,亲眼看到雅虎的浏览器软件、门户网站和在线邮箱等服务创造了一系列奇迹般的成长数据,伊恩.格尼尔意识到自己很可能将亲自参与一个时代的开启,因此,会议室里几个人当中,他是最不想让自己的心血付诸东流的那个人。 Ian Gunier be outspoken present makes a clean breast to the people own idea, he did not oppose that cooperates with Microsoft, but hopes that Eric can be more prudent in the way of choice cooperation. 伊恩.格尼尔毫无保留地将自己的想法向在座的众人和盘托出,他并不反对与微软合作,但希望艾瑞克在选择合作的方式上能够更加慎重一些。 Eric listened to Ian Gunier to say patiently the words that said sincerely: „Ian, you know why I am willing to put out % buying stockholder's rights?” 艾瑞克耐心地听着伊恩.格尼尔将话说完,诚恳地说道:“伊恩,你知道我为什么愿意拿出%的购股权吗？” Not is only Ian Gunier, Steve Mitnick and the others have shown the look of doubts, only then obtained Chris of answer to be slightly tranquiler ahead of time. 不但是伊恩.格尼尔,史蒂夫.米特尼克等人都露出了疑惑的神色,也只有已经提前得到了答案的克里斯稍微平静了一些。 Eric attracts on the attention of people oneself, the expression said assuredly: „Because I had not planned to sell to Microsoft any stock.” 艾瑞克将众人的注意力吸引到自己身上,语气笃定地说道:“因为我本来就没打算卖给微软任何一笔股份。” Eric said that several people listened are puzzled, a Eric slightly stop, then said: „Yahoo is everybody grows out of nothing bit by bit is founded, I know everybody's sentiment to the Yahoo like to my child. I similarly so . Moreover, I the expectation to Yahoo be older much than you. Reason that seems like very generously complies for five years later to sell to Microsoft % the stock, I hope for five years later, Microsoft presently could not afford suddenly. To achieve this point not to be difficult, by Yahoo at present exploding -type increasing length, even if when the time comes Yahoo market value, only then Microsoft one-third, Bill Gates presently, if with 1 o % Microsoft stock receiving in exchange % Yahoo stock, then he will welcome one possibly to affect his major stockholder to the Microsoft domination, if he also wants to continue to annex entire Yahoo, he even presently introduces the major stockholder who one crowd has threatened his status, you thought when the time comes Bill Gates will persist in carrying out to buy the stockholder's rights, gives up on own initiative?”( To be continued.) 艾瑞克这么说,身旁的几个人听了就更是不解了,艾瑞克略一停顿,就接着说道:“雅虎是大家从无到有一点一点创建的,我知道大家对雅虎的感情就像对自己的孩子一样。我个人同样如此,而且,我对雅虎的期望要比你们所有人都大得多。之所以看似很慷慨地答应五年后卖给微软%的股份,我只是希望五年之后,微软突然现自己已经买不起了。想要做到这一点并不难,以雅虎目前爆式的增长度,到时候哪怕雅虎的市值只有微软的1,比尔.盖茨都会现,如果用1o%的微软股份换取%的雅虎股份,那么他就将迎来一个可能影响到他对微软控制权的大股东,如果他还想要继续吞并整个雅虎的话,他甚至会现自己引入了一群威胁到他地位的大股东,你们觉得,到时候比尔.盖茨会坚持执行购股权,还是主动放弃呢？”(未完待续。)
