Held a morning conference, at noon and Katzenberg dines together, discussed some trivial matters, the matter that made time the understanding yesterday accidentally to see the mobile communication operational license that auctions until afternoon Eric on CNN. ∷∷, 开了一上午会议,中午与卡森伯格一起用餐,又商议了一些琐事,直到下午艾瑞克才腾出时间了解昨天在cnn上偶然看到的移动通信运营牌照拍卖的事情。∷∷, Any country has radio control laws, television medium or mobile communication, dependence is also the radio wave transmissions. Has the different radio wave frequencies like different TV Station, the different telecom operators were also limited in certain radio wave frequency sector manage, United States TV Station or the telecom operator( Federal Communications Commission) there obtains from FCC the authorized permission of do business in the corresponding radio wave frequency sector that is so-called ‚license plate’. 任何国家都有着无线电管制法规,无论是电视媒介还是移动通信,依靠的也都是无线电波传输。就像不同电视台拥有不同的无线电波频率一样,不同的电信运营商也被限制在一定的无线电波频率区间内进行经营,美国电视台或者电信运营商从fcc（联邦通信委员会）那里获得的在相应无线电波频率区间内经营业务的授权许可就是所谓的‘牌照’。 In the Firefly Headquarters Eric office, looks is reading basic data Eric earnestly, sits introduces in a soft voice in other desk one side Kelly: „In the 80's, the wireless frequency spectrum resources about mobile communication was the operator applies to FCC, then accepted its assignment. However, in recent years the mobile communication industry rapidly rises with the support of digital technology, the majority of operators the frequency spectrum resources that obtains from FCC there were insufficient in the past, dramatically increased along with the application quantity of frequency spectrum license plate, Clinton Administration realized that this was a creation financial revenue good opportunity, is divided into a, b and c three different grade operational licenses to auction the frequency spectrum resources that the telecom operator needed, yesterday what you saw on CNN was a and auctions of b license plate, the one who mainly faced was the traditional telecommunication carrier provider, these two grade license plate auctions altogether gave Ministry of Finance to bring the 3.75 billion USD income.” 萤火虫总部艾瑞克的办公室里,望着认真阅读基础资料的艾瑞克,坐在办公桌另外一边的凯莉轻声介绍道:“八十年代,关于移动通信的无线频谱资源都是运营商向fcc申请,然后接受其分配的。不过,最近几年移动通信产业在数字技术的支持下迅速崛起,大部分运营商以往从fcc那里获得的频谱资源就不够用了,随着频谱牌照的申请数量大幅增加,克林顿正府意识到这是一个创造财政收入的好时机,便将电信运营商需要的频谱资源划分为a、b、c三个不同段位的运营牌照进行拍卖,你昨天在cnn上看到的是a段和b段牌照的拍卖,主要面对的是传统电信营运商,这两个段位的牌照拍卖一共给财政部带来了37.5亿美元的收入。” Eric gains ground, asks: „That c?” 艾瑞克抬起头,问道:“那c段呢？” Kelly said: „According to the plan that Clinton Administration gives, c license plates mainly auction the object are these emerging telecom operators, is used to support stemming from the small and medium-sized enterprise of undertaking initial period, but, this grade license plate auctioned is arranged three months later.” 凯莉道:“按照克林顿正府给出的方案,c段牌照主要拍卖对像是那些新兴电信运营商,用来扶持出于创业初期的中小企业,不过,这个段位的牌照拍卖被安排在了三个月之后。” Eric pondered over the moment to understand smiling of joint, somewhat taunted, but also was really the world crow is ordinary. 艾瑞克琢磨了片刻就明白了其中的关节,有些嘲讽的笑了笑,还真是天下乌鸦一般黑啊。 previous life Eric notes the link public complaint late to attain the license plate thus to miss the 4G layout time in the migration, the situation and present in memory were really too similar, in which difference also was just one stemming from normal treatment gambling. Another purely is economical gambling. 前世艾瑞克就注意到联通公开抱怨迟于移动拿到牌照从而错过4g布局时期,记忆中的情形与现在真是太相似了,其中的差别也只不过是一个出于正治博弈。另外一个则纯粹是经济博弈。 At present the United States mobile communication industry from the simulated signal to the crucial phase that the digital signal promotes, the traditional telecom operator on the owner formidable superiority, after attaining the license plate, obtained three months of leading layout time, the disparity is enlarged again. These attained the emerging telecom operators of c license plate not to pursue, Eric can imagine, even if attained c license plates, when the time comes related small and medium-sized enterprise life that also was annexed by the established telecommunication giant. 眼下正是美国移动通信产业从模拟信号向数字信号升级的关键时期,传统电信运营商本来就拥有者强大的优势,拿到牌照之后又获得了三个月的领先布局时间,差距再一次被拉大。那些拿到c段牌照的新兴电信运营商就更加别想追赶了,艾瑞克能够想象,即使拿到c段牌照,到时候相关中小企业也只有被老牌电信巨头吞并的命。 Notes the expression on Eric face, Kelly can also guess correctly that he is thinking anything. Smiled, said: „You have definitely guessed correctly, FCC such does, definitely is receives AT&T and influences of Sprint these established telecom operators. However, then also has a more excessive matter?” 注意到艾瑞克脸上的表情,凯莉也能猜到他在想什么。跟着笑了笑,说道:“你肯定猜到了,fcc这么做,肯定是受到att、sp日nt这些老牌电信运营商的影响。不过,接下来还有更过分的事情呢？” The Eric doubts said: „What?” 艾瑞克疑惑道:“什么？” Kelly in the thick folder flipped from the tabletop, found a document to give Eric, said: „You looked that this is FCC regarding the detailed tender book that this frequency spectrum license plate auctions, turns to 12 pages, I drew the red line.” 凯莉从桌面上厚厚的文件夹里翻了翻,找到一份文件递给艾瑞克,道:“你看,这是fcc对于这次频谱牌照拍卖的详细招标书,翻到12页,我画了红线。” Eric opens page number that Kelly said. Saw the red line to label a few words: c license plates will auction alone, with the aim of giving the ethnic minorities, women, the villages operators and small enterprise more opportunities, making him obtain fairer environment of competition. 艾瑞克翻开凯莉所说的页码。看到红线标注了一段话:c段牌照将单独进行拍卖,以便予以少数族裔、妇女、乡镇运营商和微小企业更多机会,使其获得更加公平的竞争环境。 Eric read repeatedly several, has not discovered any issue, gains ground to ask curiously: „These words how?” 艾瑞克反复读了几遍,都没有发现什么问题,好奇地抬起头问道:“这段话怎么了？” Kelly smiled, said: „You definitely cannot think that auctioned yesterday just finished, some people started with these words the article, six submitted c license plate bid application small business simultaneously to file the charge to the federal court probably, claimed that in FCC tender book involved the description of race and sex violates in the United States constitution the provision about national equality. Has the discrimination suspicion, requesting FCC to revise and apologizes its affronting the words.” 凯莉笑了笑,道:“你肯定想不到吧,昨天拍卖刚刚结束,就有人拿这句话做起了文章,大概有六家递交了c段牌照投标申请的小企业同时向联邦法院提起诉讼,声称fcc招标书里的这段涉及到种族和性别的描述违背美国宪法中关于国民平等的条款。有歧视嫌疑,要求fcc进行修改并对其冒犯的言辞进行道歉。” Eric this time really somewhat was stunned. 艾瑞克这次是真的有些错愕了。 Also can such play. 还能这么玩儿啊。 Rebirth these many years, Eric had also understood the United States legal proceeding rule. 重生这么多年,艾瑞克对于美国的法律诉讼规则也有所了解。 Since some people filed charge, this matter absolutely was not FCC simply the tender book will revise has been able to finish up. Everybody affirms the attorney to gather, studies the United States constitution together, having a look at these words really to violate the constitution. The constitution is so thick, turns one also 1-2 months, this is the so-called collection evidence stage. When the evidence collected, both sides also need violent debate in the court. Even if the local court has given ruling, if some side refuses to accept to rule , to continue to appeal, that lawsuit continues to hit. 既然有人对此提起了诉讼,这件事就绝对不是fcc简简单单将招标书修改了就能完事的。大家肯定得将律师聚集起来,一起研究研究美国宪法,看看这段话到底是不是真的违宪啊。宪法那么厚,翻一遍也得一两个月吧,这就是所谓的搜集证据阶段。等证据搜集完了,双方还需要在法庭上唇枪舌剑一番。就算地方法院给出了判决结果,如果某一方不服判决,继续上诉,那官司就继续打吧。 Finally such tossed about, waits for lawsuit to end, it is estimated that more than half a year passed by. 最终这么一折腾,等官司结束,估计大半年都过去了。 c license plate auctions compared with a and b late three months, at present presented this lawsuit, it is estimated that the so-called emerging telecom operator at least must wait till can attain the license plate next year. c段牌照拍卖本就比a、b段晚了三个月时间,眼下又出现了这种官司,估计所谓的新兴电信运营商至少要等到明年才能拿到牌照了。 „Was good, did not propose this,” Eric the tender book will place side, puts out a hand that hinted under to place, although does not calculate luxuriously, but the office of similarly fine atmosphere, said with a smile: „I thought that we discussed standpoint some of these issues are not right, but I now capitalist, heartless that.” “好了,不提这个了,”艾瑞克将招标书放在旁边,伸手示意了下自己身处的这间虽然不算奢华但同样精致大气的办公室,笑道:“我觉得我们讨论这些问题的立场有些不对,我现在可是资本家啊,丧尽天良的那种。” Kelly provoked laughter by the Eric words, the Eric words actually also right, this matter is only because occurred is not having too the connection telecommunication domain with them, saw that this situation some will be uneven. But if similar matter occurred in Hollywood, seven big definitely also without hesitation will join up, the successor who will threaten possibly own status strangles in the cradle. 凯莉被艾瑞克的话逗笑了,艾瑞克的话其实也没错,这件事只是因为发生在与他们没有太多关联的电信领域,看到这种情况才会有些不平。但如果类似的事情发生在好莱坞,七大肯定也会毫不犹豫地联合起来,将可能威胁到自己地位的后来者扼杀在摇篮里。 „, Eric, are you plan to step in the mobile communication?” “那么,艾瑞克,你是打算涉足移动通信吗？” Yesterday saw news that the push-based mobile license plate auctioned, Eric was truly excited, at present the beginning of mobile communication industry big eruption, invests the telecommunications industry to bring the rich repayment absolutely, the instance that but auctioned from c license plates can also see, this inside water was really too deep, before making clear condition, Eric did not plan to step in rashly. 昨天看到移动运营牌照拍卖的新闻,艾瑞克确实非常心动,眼下正是移动通信产业大爆发的开端,投资电信业绝对能够带来丰厚的回报,但从c段牌照拍卖的事例也能看出,这里面的水实在是太深了,在搞清楚状况之前,艾瑞克并不打算冒然涉足。 Shook the head regrettably, Eric is stroking gently front folder, said: „Temporarily does not consider these, was right, Kelly, have you contacted that side Qualcomm?” 遗憾地摇了摇头,艾瑞克摩挲着面前的文件夹,道:“暂时不考虑这些,对了,凯莉,你接触过高通那边吗？” „Oh, I was just about to say with you.” Kelly put out the memorandum to turn several pages, gave Eric a short note, said: „Qualcomm CEO Irvine Jacob is interested in our contacts, but he recently continuously in South Korea. Must wait till can just come back next week. He calls me, expressed when the time comes will fly directly Los Angeles, hopes that can chat with you face to face, Nà, this is Irvine Jacob in the telephone number of South Korea dwelling. He said you can telephone at any time.” “哦,我正要跟你说呢。”凯莉拿出备忘录翻了几页,将一张便签递给艾瑞克,道:“高通ceo欧文・雅各布对我们的接触非常感兴趣,只不过他最近一直在韩国。要等到下周才能刚回来。他打电话给我,表示到时候会直接飞来洛杉矶,希望能跟你当面谈谈,呐,这是欧文・雅各布在韩国住处的电话号码。他表示你可以随时打电话过去。” Eric received to come to see the short note paper, says with a smile: „Qualcomm is so earnest, this is not good to be familiar with, don't they fear the extreme danger?” 艾瑞克将便签纸接过来看了看,笑道:“高通这么热切,这可不是什么好习惯,他们就不怕羊入虎口吗？” „The Qualcomm present situation is not good, so far, they only strove to construct the CDMA network in South Korea the opportunity, but the South Korea telecom market capacity was too small, will not produce to the global overall communication standard too in a big way affects. Moreover, one week that ago the frequency spectrum license plate auctions, AT&T just announced that across the country will construct the GSM network. As the federal first big telecom operator, the AT&T definite communication standard will definitely lead a group of followers. The GSM technological maturity is much higher than CDMA, once the majority of operators change GSM, Qualcomm even could faced with going bankrupt,” spoke of here, Kelly, said: The Qualcomm stock that „that side the Firefly investment buys in must surpass the 1 million stock immediately, if continues, Eric, once Qualcomm bankruptcy. These stocks became are not worth a red cent.” “高通现在的处境非常不好,到目前为止,他们只在韩国争取到了建设cdma网络的机会,但韩国的电信市场容量太小了,根本不会对全球整体的通信技术标准产生太大影响。而且,在频谱牌照拍卖的一周前,att刚刚宣布将在全国范围内建设gsm网络。作为联邦第一大电信运营商,att确定的通信技术标准肯定会带动一批追随者。gsm的技术成熟度比cdma高得多,一旦大部分运营商都转向gsm,高通甚至可能要面临破产了,”说到这里,凯莉顿了顿,道:“萤火虫投资那边吸纳的高通股票马上就要超过100万股,如果继续的话,艾瑞克,一旦高通破产。这些股票就变得一文不值了。” Qualcomm in 1992 IPO altogether has distributed the 6 million stock circulation stock for the first time, occupies 30% of total capital stock, because of rising of GSM, Qualcomm develops some lags in recent years. Also does not have any further financing behavior. 高通1992年首次ipo一共发行了600万股流通股,占据总股本的30%,因为gsm的崛起,高通最近几年发展有些滞后。也就没有任何进一步的融资行为。 At present the Qualcomm stock price merely about paces back and forth in 17 USD, the total market value is also only 340 million. 眼下高通的股价仅仅在17美元左右徘徊,总市值也只有3.4亿。 To be honest, if can eat completely Qualcomm, Eric will completely not have any hesitation, after all, merely is the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show recording tape income. Can bring the 300 million multi- USD income for him, but entire Firefly Group, because does not have any large-scale expansion plan temporarily, by in the profitability that Hollywood is second to none, a very happy worry that Firefly Group faces now is, money too much. 说心里话,如果能够将高通全部吃下来,艾瑞克完全不会有任何犹豫,毕竟,仅仅是维密大秀的录像带收入。就能为他带来了3亿多美元的收入,而整个萤火虫集团,因为暂时没有任何大规模的扩张计划,凭借在好莱坞首屈一指的盈利能力,萤火虫集团现在面临的一个非常幸福的烦恼就是,钱太多了。 „The 1 million stock is also only 17 million,” Eric said to Kelly: „I plan at least to buy in the 3 million stock, this also only needs to spend 50 million USD, this investment also quite with a medium manufacture investment movie, even if the dead loss did not matter.” “100万股也只是1700万而已,”艾瑞克对凯莉道:“我计划至少吸纳300万股,这样也只需要花掉5000万美元,这笔投资也就相当与一部中等制作投资影片而已,即使全部亏损了也无所谓。” „Yes, does not matter to you probably,” Kelly also realized one somewhat care chaotically, 50 million USD, regarding the Eric present net worth, truly is not anything. “是啊,对你来说好像真的无所谓呢,”凯莉也意识到自己有些关心则乱,5000万美元,对于艾瑞克现在的身家来说,确实不算什么。 They were discussing, Eric placed the mobile phone on desk to make a sound. 两人正讨论着,艾瑞克放在办公桌上的移动电话响了起来。 After the connection, and has broadcast the Elizabeth sound at the same time. 接通之后,另外一边传来了伊丽莎白的声音。 Eric several, have briefly made the telephone call. 艾瑞克简单地说了几句,就挂了电话。 Kelly also listened to some information from their conversations, asked: „Miss Murdoch?” 凯莉从两人的交谈中也听出了一些信息,问道:“默多克小姐？” „Un, about Golden Globe Award and Oscar matter, «Saving Private Ryan» and «Braveheart» hit in one, Liz has made me to chat two for the matter of movie award item public relations.” “嗯,关于金球奖和奥斯卡的事情,《拯救大兵瑞恩》和《勇敢的心》撞在了一起,莉兹约我聊聊两部为影片奖项公关的事情。” Eric was saying standing up, Kelly sympathized to obtain by illegal purchase his outside, Eric put out a hand to wear the clothes, looks before hanging down in the view gently, helped itself be the female assistant of knot, Eric produces a wife to deliver the husband to go with the misconception of another woman appointment inexplicably, put out a hand to hug the waist of Kelly, said with a smile: „Quite strange, how do I feel suddenly somewhat guilty?” 艾瑞克说着站起身,凯莉体贴地将他的外套取了过来,艾瑞克伸手将衣服穿上,看着低垂着眼帘上温柔地前帮自己系扣子的女助理,艾瑞克莫名地产生一种妻子送丈夫去跟另外一个女人约会的错觉,伸手搂了搂凯莉的腰肢,笑道:“好奇怪,我怎么突然感觉有些内疚？” Kelly smiles sweet, the movement on hand has not stopped, having the mood of some concubines saying: „Must make you guilty.” 凯莉嫣然而笑,手上的动作并没有停止,带着些许小女人的情绪说道:“就是要让你内疚呢。” „Volume, this move of you used to be good, don't to divulge to an outsider.” “额,这招你自己用就行了,千万别外传。” „Passes on you to be very troublesome?” “传出去你会不会很麻烦？” Eric makes the vigor nod: „Is troublesome.” 艾瑞克使劲儿点头:“非常麻烦。” After popular new year running schedule, regarding Hollywood, the matter of primary importance, deals with the present promulgation season without doubt. 热门的新年档期过后,对于好莱坞来说,最重要的事情,无疑是应对眼下的颁奖季了。 To last year Oscar lunar year in which the last month has 29 days, this year promulgation season Hollywood similarly does not have the popular hopes so-called film, but had the aspect that «Saving Private Ryan» and «Braveheart» pairs of confronted. 相对于去年的奥斯卡小年,今年颁奖季好莱坞同样没有众望所谓的电影作品,而是出现了《拯救大兵瑞恩》和《勇敢的心》双强对峙的局面。 Although the Oscar nomination has not drawn a charge, but in quite important movie television Golden Globe Award nomination, two movie unusual coincidences has simultaneously attained the best plot movie, best Director, the best actor and best screenwriter and dubs in music best five nominations. Mel the performance of Gibson can only be common, Eric remembers in the original space and time he has not attained any best actor to nominate, now on Golden Globe Award are many this kind of nomination should be the Weinstein public relations achievement. 虽然奥斯卡提名还没有出炉,但在比较重要的电影电视金球奖提名上,两部影片非常巧合地同时拿到了最佳剧情影片、最佳导演、最佳男主角、最佳编剧和最佳配乐五项提名。梅尔・吉布森的表演只能算一般,艾瑞克记得原时空中他并没有拿到过什么最佳男主角提名,现在金球奖上多了这样一个提名应该算是韦恩斯坦的公关成果。 Before more than one year, Eric and Elizabeth to these two movies has the discussion to the prize strategy, but, the plan always cannot keep up with the change, a lot also need to change according to immediately situation. 早在一年多以前,艾瑞克与伊丽莎白就对这两部影片的冲奖策略有过讨论,不过,计划总是赶不上变化,很多事情还需要根据当下的情况进行变更。 Under the reasonable operation of Miramax, «Braveheart» compared that in original space and time to result in the award item actually to lose the edition of Box Office on Box Office to be without doubt more successful. 在米拉麦克斯的合理运作下,《勇敢的心》在票房上相较于原时空中的那个得了奖项却失去了票房的版本无疑更加成功。 Small scale of «Braveheart» starting from early last December screened , to continue the reputation and Box Office, during Christmas day, Miramax will screen the scale to increase to 2000 at one fell swoop, by advertisement reputation accumulation of effect and long-line operation that the Golden Globe Award nomination issue brought, movie, when the week has attained 2 more than 6 million USD Box Office, at present just the first week after new year, «Braveheart» total Box Office approached 60 million, under fiery topic promotion that in the promulgation season continued, many end of the year running schedule movie Box Office fell in abundance largely, but «Braveheart» week Box Office actually strongly was maintaining the weak about 20% decline ranges, if this. Plants the situation to continue Oscar, the total Box Office conservative estimate of «Braveheart» also in 120 million USD about, has the Oscar prize approaching body, «Braveheart» distributes through the overseas, likely can recoup the total cost on Box Office. 《勇敢的心》从去年12月初开始小规模上映,持续累计口碑和票房,圣诞节期间,米拉麦克斯将上映规模一举增加到了2000家,凭借金球奖提名发布带来的广告效应和长线运营的口碑积累,影片当周就拿到了2600多万美元的票房,眼下刚刚进入新年后的第一周,《勇敢的心》总票房已经接近6000万,在颁奖季持续的火热话题度促进下,很多年底档期影片票房纷纷大幅下跌,但《勇敢的心》周票房却坚挺地保持着微弱的20%左右跌幅,如果这。种情况持续到奥斯卡,《勇敢的心》的总票房保守估计也在1.2亿美元左右,拥有奥斯卡奖傍身,《勇敢的心》通过海外发行,很可能在票房上就能收回全部成本。 Eric leaves Firefly Headquarters, arrives at Beverly Hills Manor Hollywood celebrities to visit the open-air restaurant according to the address that Elizabeth gives frequently, although is afternoon going to work, but in the dining room gathered leisurely and carefree has drunk the guest who the coffee was chatting at will, many some faces of knowing well. Saw that the attendant eagerly anticipates Eric to walk, many guests in abundance set out to greet to Eric. 艾瑞克离开萤火虫总部,按照伊丽莎白给的地址来到了比弗利山庄一家好莱坞名流经常光顾露天餐厅,虽然是下午上班时分,但餐厅里还是聚集了很多悠闲地喝着咖啡随意聊天的客人,其中不乏一些熟识的面孔。见到侍应生引领着艾瑞克走进来,很多客人都纷纷起身向艾瑞克打招呼。 Exchanged greetings is going through the crowd, Eric saw Elizabeth and Harvey on the dining room flat roof Weinstein. 寒暄着穿过人群,艾瑞克在餐厅露台上见到了伊丽莎白和哈维・韦恩斯坦。 Sits down in the table, optional point: the coffee, Eric looks to the side parapet is covered with the gentle slope of bush, board game piece to scatter the Beverly mansion as well as the distant place in field of vision in the Los Angeles urban district that take in everything at a glance, the nod said the cup „Here scenery is really good, no wonder these many guests.” 在桌边坐下,随意点了杯咖啡,艾瑞克望向身旁栏杆外长满灌木的缓坡、棋子般散落在视野内的比弗利豪宅以及远处一览无余的洛杉矶市区,点头道:“这里的风景真不错,怪不得这么多客人。” Harvey Weinstein smiles said: „Eric, if after liking you, can come frequently, the master in this dining room is the friend of mine, I make him exempt the list to you.” 哈维・韦恩斯坦满脸笑容地说道:“艾瑞克,如果喜欢的话你以后可以经常过来,这家餐厅的主人是我的朋友,我让他给你免单。” Eric has hinted under as before repeatedly to the look that them glances, cracks a joke saying: „Exempts definitely is only insufficient, perhaps if I Chang to come, your friend must give me advertising expenditure anything.” 艾瑞克示意了下依旧频频向他们这边瞟过来的眼神,开玩笑道:“免单肯定是不够的,我如果常来的话,你那位朋友或许得给我广告费什么的。” Elizabeth and Harvey have smiled, if Eric patronizes here really frequently, hit various thoughts to attempt in the dining room to approach his guest definitely doubled and re-doubled to increase, pours compares a billboard to use really fortunately. 伊丽莎白和哈维都笑了起来,如果艾瑞克真的经常光顾这里,打着各种心思企图在餐厅里接近他的客人肯定成倍增加,倒真比一个广告牌还好用了。 Three people chatted at will a while, the topic gradually changes to the promulgation season.( To be continued.) 三人随意闲聊了一会儿,话题才逐渐转到颁奖季上。(未完待续。)
