【Disseminates news】 The attention beginning studies, receives 515 red package firsthand news, after the new year's celebration, has not snatched the schoolmates of red package, this chapter can unfold the skill. 【播报】关注起点读书,获得515红包第一手消息,过年之后没抢过红包的同学们,这回可以一展身手了。 „Wants into Buffett such person is very truly difficult, in fact, most people, if can have the status and wealth of his rank, is very absolutely difficult maintains dozens years of heart not gets off one's main subject again continues a matter,” Eric is looking at the Carolyn pretty small face, said: „But, I discovered that on you have with the Buffett similar certain potentials.” “想要成为巴菲特那样的人确实很难,实际上,大部分人如果能够拥有他那种级别的地位和财富,绝对很难再保持几十年心无旁骛地去继续一件事情,”艾瑞克望着卡洛琳俏丽的小脸,道:“不过,我发现你身上有着和巴菲特相似的某些潜质。” In the ordinary person heart always has too many distracting thoughts and desires is prosperous, this in fact instead becomes the biggest barrier that prevents a person from advancing. Eric actually cannot see these things from Carolyn, two years ago first time meets now, on this girl that simple and pure temper too significantly has not changed throughout, in addition her intelligently exceptionally small head, Eric believes that if Carolyn wholly-absorbed develops in Buffett such investor direction, in the future also absolutely can achieve the uncommon achievement. 普通人心中总是有着太多杂念和欲旺,这实际上反而成为阻止一个人前进的最大障碍。艾瑞克却没能从卡洛琳身上看到这些东西,从两年前第一次见面到现在,这妮子身上那种简单而纯粹的性子始终都没有太大改变,再加上她聪明异常的小脑瓜,艾瑞克相信,如果卡洛琳专心朝巴菲特这样的投资人方向去发展,将来也绝对能够取得不凡的成就。 Carolyn by the Eric quart somewhat embarrassed, she not familiar Buffett like Eric, therefore does not know one and Buffett has any similar potential, placed the small hand under desk to pinch the lower hem corner of career suit, she embarrassedly asked that said: „Eric, if no other matters, I must go back to work.” 卡洛琳被艾瑞克夸得有些不好意思,她并不像艾瑞克那样熟悉巴菲特,因此也并不知道自己和巴菲特有什么相似的潜质,放在办公桌下的小手捏了捏职业套装的衣角,她还是没好意思问,说道:“艾瑞克,如果没有其他事情,我要回去工作了。” The Eric corners of the mouth are bringing smiling, could not bear tease one: „Doesn't want to chat with me?” 艾瑞克嘴角带着笑,忍不住调侃了一句:“不想跟我聊天了？” clear(ly) knows that Eric cracked a joke with oneself again, Carolyn could not bear shakes the head seriously: „But, present is operating time.” 明知道艾瑞克再跟自己开玩笑,卡洛琳还是忍不住一本正经地摇头:“可是,现在是工作时间呢。” Eric looks at Carolyn this somewhat small old-fashioned appearance actually , to continue saying: „You are my assistant, my any demand can become your work content, chatted also calculates.” 艾瑞克倒是非常看卡洛琳这种有些小古板的模样,继续说道:“你是我的助理,我的任何需求都可以成为你的工作内容啊,聊天也算。” „Obviously is not this,” Carolyn blinked, the rebuttal said. “明明不是这样的,”卡洛琳眨了眨眼睛,反驳道。 However, was saying, in the Carolyn mind suddenly has actually emitted the Kelly shadow, remembers this maturely capable actually the full of flavor female boss occasionally with affectionate that Eric displays. As well as between them not the too secret relations, in the Carolyn small head cannot help but have had a very incredible thought: This is also the work content of female assistant, if calculates, if he proposed to himself...... 不过,这么说着,卡洛琳脑海里却突然冒出了凯莉的影子,想起这位成熟干练却又韵味十足的女上司偶尔与艾瑞克表现出来的亲昵。以及两人之间并不算太隐秘的关系,卡洛琳小脑瓜里不由自主地产生了一个很荒诞的念头:这也算是女助理的工作内容吗,如果算的话,那他要是向自己提出…… Along with thorough of thought. The small face of Carolyn unknowingly became the red piece, the bright pupil glanced Eric one secretly, shunts rapidly. 随着念头的深入。卡洛琳的小脸不知不觉已经变得通红一片,晶亮的眸子偷偷瞟了艾瑞克一眼,又迅速躲开。 Eric sees Carolyn bewilderedly becomes the ruddy cheek, somewhat funnily asked: „What misdemeanor thinks?” 艾瑞克见卡洛琳莫名其妙变得红润的脸蛋,有些好笑地问道:“想什么坏事呢？” „Does not have, no.” Carolyn shrank under the neck, stands up immediately: „I went back to work.” “没,没有。”卡洛琳缩了下脖子,又立刻站起身:“我回去工作了。” Then, does not wait for Eric to reply, Carolyn turned around to escape from the Eric office, on as if slow one second takes to hold down general by the big fiendish person. 说完,不等艾瑞克回答,卡洛琳就已经转身逃出了艾瑞克办公室,仿佛慢上一秒就要被大魔王按住一般。 Oh, dares such to neglect Boss unexpectedly, it seems like must deduct the wages to punish. 唉,竟然敢这么怠慢老板,看来要扣工资惩罚一下。 Eric not good is thinking, has pressed according to the talking key of side plane, the secretary who draws on the outside, making the opposite party fall Carolyn on the memorandum of own desk sends to her. 艾瑞克无良地想着,按了按旁边座机的通话键,招来外间的秘书,让对方将卡洛琳落在自己办公桌的备忘录给她送去。 In July. The majority of enterprises start to count the first half of the year earning achievement, Firefly are no exception. Along with the rapid return to warmer weather of United States economy, Firefly movie, television, theme park, peripheral store and other services compared in the same time last year are maintaining very strong momentum of growth, although the correlation data is still counting, but Firefly Group the overall earning breaks through 10 billion USD not to have the suspense in the first half of the year. 七月份。大部分企业都开始统计上半年的营收业绩,萤火虫也不例外。随着美国经济的迅速回暖,萤火虫旗下电影、电视、主题公园、周边商店等业务相比于去年同期都保持着非常强劲的增长势头,虽然相关数据还在进行统计,但萤火虫集团上半年整体营收突破100亿美元已经毫无悬念。 Meanwhile, Fortune magazine first time had issued in July global 500 enterprises ranking, before then, Fortune magazine only counts United States local enterprise 500. 与此同时,《财富》杂志在七月份第一次发布了世界500强企业排行榜,在此之前,《财富》杂志只统计美国本土企业500强。 Although experienced the early 90's bubble burst, but Japan occupied six quotas in world 500 strong first ten, General Motors that the United States native place is listed first also can only be situated fifth in the entire list. First four completely are the Japan financial groups. About the Firefly Group whole year 20 billion USD earnings, in the face of the list first Mitsubishi trading 175 800 million USD turnover, appear very common. 虽然经历了九十年代初的泡沫破裂,但日本还是在世界500强前十名中占据了六个名额,美国本土排名第一的通用汽车在整个榜单中也只能排行第五。前四名全部都是日本财团。萤火虫集团全年200亿美元左右的营收,在榜单第一名三菱商事1758亿美元的营业额面前,显得非常不起眼。 Although Eric in the heart sighed that with the huge disparities of these world-class enterprise oligarchs, pours will not improperly belittle oneself. In entire Firefly system all enterprises, so long as grows completely, can be the jumbo who all people need to look up to absolutely . Moreover, along with the rapid development of high new technology, will not be remote on this day. 艾瑞克虽然心中感叹与这些世界级企业寡头的巨大差距,倒也不会妄自菲薄。整个萤火虫体系内所有的企业只要完全增长起来,绝对会是所有人都需要仰望的巨无霸,而且,随着高新科技的迅猛发展,这一天并不会太遥远。 Cliff Peak Manor, Eric sits on the curtain wall sofa is reading Fortune magazine. Is Natasha bringing Amy? Pascal walked, helping them make the coffee, the twins meconium walks toward the building in peacefully, today is on July 9, tomorrow the Yahoo annual meeting will formally start, Eric must fly to Boston immediately, Drew and twin is helping itself pack the baggage in the building. 尖角庄园,艾瑞克坐在幕墙边的沙发上正翻看着《财富》杂志。娜塔莎带着艾米?帕斯卡尔走了进来,帮两人冲好咖啡,双胞胎便安静地朝楼上走去,今天是7月9号,明天雅虎年会正式开始,艾瑞克马上就要飞往波士顿,德鲁和双胞胎正在楼上帮自己收拾行李。 Amy sat down on the opposite sofa, carries coffee sips, shot a look at magazine in Eric hand, said with a smile: „Eric, I decided that you should like «Forbes» some.” 艾米在对面沙发上坐下,端起咖啡抿了一口,瞥了眼艾瑞克手中的杂志,笑道:“艾瑞克,我决定你应该更喜欢《福布斯》一些。” Eric knows what Amy finger is the Forbes rich and powerful people list, said: „Always stares at these to be very easy to lose the enterprise, must drive itself facing the reality.” 艾瑞克知道艾米指的是福布斯富豪榜,说道:“总盯着那些很容易丧失进取心的,还是要面对现实激励一下自己。” Amy shakes the head to sigh: „You have made all people be able not hold a candle, is really hard to imagine, in the future which step you will arrive.” 艾米摇头感叹道:“你可是已经让所有人都望尘莫及了,真是难以想象,你将来会走到哪一步。” „In brief, I have not stopped others' good customs,” Eric smiled, asks: „Drew said that you yesterday and Kevin Costner discussed the matter of «Mission: Impossible» sequel, is the result what kind of?” “总之,我可没有停下来等别人的好习惯,”艾瑞克笑了笑,问道:“德鲁说你昨天与凯文?科斯特纳谈了《碟中谍》续集的事情,结果怎么样？” Spends 1. 7.5 billion USD «Waterworld» screened the day before yesterday officially, first date Box Office only then more than 6 million USD, although this digit was almost the same as initially «Forrest Gump», but two movie actually also days badly left heavyweight, after let alone «Waterworld» screened, simultaneously welcomed was also a piece of difference comments, Box Office was impossible to go out long-line, in addition was still being screened as well as soon opened the picture numerous big piece extrusion existing space, the prospect was very dreary. 耗资1.75亿美元的《未来水世界》前天正式上映,首日票房只有600多万美元,虽然这个数字与当初《阿甘正传》相差无几,但两部影片重量级却也天差地别,更何况《未来水世界》上映后同时迎来的也是一片差评,票房不可能走出长线,再加上被还在上映以及即将开画的众多大片挤压生存空间,前景可谓无比惨淡。 After first date Box Office drew a charge, the Kevin Costner last expectation was disillusioned, started to contact with Flower Films on own initiative, hopes that can start the «Mission: Impossible» sequel, to maintain own popularity. 首日票房出炉后,凯文?科斯特纳最后一丝期望破灭,主动开始与花朵影业接触,希望能够启动《碟中谍》续集,以维持自己的人气。 „Contacted initially,” Amy replied: „I hope that can sign two sequels the pieces to make one time, Kevin Costner is only willing to sign one . Moreover, salary, they are not willing to make too in a big way yield.” “只是初步接触了一下,”艾米答道:“我希望能够一次性签下两部续集的片约,凯文?科斯特纳只愿意签一部,而且,片酬方面,他们也不愿意做出太大让步。” Although threw «JAG» and «Waterworld» two big pieces continuously, but «Mission: Impossible» just greatly attained last year successfully, the popularity is also in peak condition, Kevin Costner is not willing to make too yields not to surprise people. 虽然连续扑了《执法悍将》和《未来水世界》两部大片,但《碟中谍》去年才刚刚大获成功,人气还处于巅峰状态,凯文?科斯特纳不愿意做出太多让步也不让人意外。 „But the initiative always us, slowly discusses.” The Eric hear, said. “但主动权总是在我们这边的,慢慢谈吧。”艾瑞克听完,说道。 Amy nodded, said: „Yesterday did I run into Qiao? Silver, he has made me ask that you that agreement also did keep a promise last year.” 艾米点了点头,又说道:“昨天我遇到乔?西尔沃了,他让我问问你去年那个约定还算不算数。” Some expression doubts of Amy. Obviously Qiao? Silver has not told her the matter clearly. 艾米的语气有些疑惑。显然乔?西尔沃并没有将事情跟她讲清楚。 Last year at the «True Lies» glee feast, Eric and Qiao? The Silver meet, exactly the opposite party ‚once’ was the «The Matrix» movie-making, Eric then gets up to win over to be responsible for the plan of this project the opposite party. Eric said with Amy the long and short of the story approximately, said: „«Fair Game», although failed. But undeniably, Qiao? Silver is one is good at manufacturing Producer of action movie, I thought that he is suitable to be responsible for the «The Matrix» series.” 去年在《真实的谎言》庆功宴上,艾瑞克与乔?西尔沃相遇,恰好对方‘曾经’是《黑客帝国》的制片,艾瑞克便起了将对方拉拢过来负责这个项目的打算。艾瑞克将来龙去脉大致与艾米说了一下,道:“《公平游戏》虽然失败了。但不可否认,乔?西尔沃是一个非常擅长制作动作片的制作人,我觉得他非常适合负责《黑客帝国》系列。” The Amy hear, actually shakes the head saying: „Eric, I did not think that this is a great idea.” 艾米听完,却摇头道:“艾瑞克,我可不觉得这是个好主意。” „Why?” The Eric doubts said. “为什么？”艾瑞克疑惑道。 „Do you still remember Peter? Guber and? Peters?” “你还记得彼得?古柏和强?彼得斯吗？” Eric nodded, they after leaving Columbia, faded out Hollywood, after all, little some people again are willing to invite these two black sheep of the family to be the producer, but. Has wastes all one's money the Columbia 20 hundred million USD properties ‚brilliance personal history’, Hollywood few people will forget them. 艾瑞克点了点头,两人在离开哥伦比亚后,就淡出了好莱坞,毕竟,很少会有人再愿意邀请这两个败家子担任制片人,不过。有着败光哥伦比亚20多亿美元资产的‘光辉履历’,好莱坞很少人会忘记他们两个。 Amy continues saying: „Initially Sony from Time Warner Peter? Guber and? Peters digs to Columbia holds the post of CEO and Chairman, but two people have the contract with Warner at that time, Sony spent 200 million USD to buy them to accommodate alongside in Film Studio of Warner, because of the reason of contract, following has compensated Time Warner 800 million USD, this matter relinquished. Qiao? The relation of Silver and Warner is closer than them, his production company accommodates alongside similarly in Warner, itself also signed the length to make with Warner, his these years have not even participated to produce any movie outside Warner. The Time Warner present condition is not good. In this case, if Firefly digs the person on own initiative, they will not drop easily, the price when the time comes Firefly pays will not compare initially Sony to lower many.” 艾米继续说道:“当初索尼就是从时代华纳将彼得?古柏和强?彼得斯挖到哥伦比亚担任ceo和总裁的,但当时两人身上却还与华纳有着合约,索尼花了2亿美元买下了他们挂靠在华纳旗下的制片厂,但因为合约的缘故,后续又赔偿了时代华纳8亿美元,这件事才作罢。乔?西尔沃与华纳的联系比他们两个更加紧密,他的制片公司同样挂靠在华纳旗下,本身也与华纳签了长约,他这些年甚至根本就没有参与制作过华纳以外的任何影片。时代华纳现在的境况非常不好。这种情况下,如果是萤火虫主动挖人,他们更是不会轻易放手的,到时候萤火虫付出的代价不会比当初索尼低多少。” Eric hear of Amy said. Also can only shake the head regrettably, if Qiao? Silver can transfer Firefly, he did not mind that pays a suitable penalty to Time Warner, but Eric will be will not be the fool like Sony absolutely. 艾瑞克听艾米说完。也只能遗憾地摇了摇头,如果乔?西尔沃能够转来萤火虫,他不介意向时代华纳支付一笔适当违约金,但艾瑞克是绝对不会像索尼那样做冤大头的。 Then, although summer the files had not finished, but Warner will want to replace the quality to enhance the achievement at the quantity in this summer files the release strategy it seems like to be doomed in Eric with the chart to end in failure. 说起来,虽然暑期档还没有结束,但华纳想要在这个暑期档以数量代替质量以图提高业绩的发行策略在艾瑞克看来注定将以失败告终。 The five movies in plan have screened three. But also calculates to pass besides «Batman Forever» Box Office outside, «Waterworld» that «Fair Game» of the end of May and just screened ends in failure, although the next two weeks will have Arnold Schwarzenegger «Eraser» and Al? Pacino and Robert? De Niro leadership 《Heat》, but in the Eric memory, these two movie not too high Box Office. 计划中的五部影片已经上映了三部。但除了《永远的蝙蝠侠》票房还算过得去外,五月底的《公平游戏》和刚刚上映的《未来水世界》都以失败告终,虽然未来两周还有阿诺?施瓦辛格的《蒸发密令》和阿尔?帕西诺、罗伯特的?德尼罗领衔的《盗火线》,但在艾瑞克记忆中,这两部影片都没有太高的票房。 The «Eraser» Box Office result likely is similar to «Die Hard 3» of Fox May, belongs to that home to break hundred million overseas slightly good established action movies reluctantly, although 《Heat》 is classics, when this movie close three hours is long, will limit its Box Office scale to a great extent. 《蒸发密令》的票房成绩很可能与福克斯五月份的《虎胆龙威3》类似,都属于那种国内勉强破亿海外稍微好一些的老牌动作片,《盗火线》虽然是一部经典,但这部影片接近三个小时的时长,也将在很大程度上限制其票房规模。 Special effect big piece that because five movie overseas possibly greatly have not exploded, but at this time the Batman overseas Box Office rallying point even might as well North America native place, like this calculates that five movies will equal global total Box Office that can attain in the future, has about 1 billion USD, this digit, even are only more than Firefly «The Lost World: Jurassic Park» global Box Office. 因为五部影片没有一部海外可能大爆的特效大片,而此时蝙蝠侠的海外票房号召力甚至还不如北美本土,这样算下来,五部影片未来合计能够拿到的全球总票房,也只有10亿美元左右,这个数字,甚至只比萤火虫的《侏罗纪公园2》全球票房多一些。 By splendid popularity of reputation and first accumulation, «The Lost World: Jurassic Park» global Box Office, although cannot achieve first global 1 billion, is actually almost the same. Let alone, complete manufacture and announcement cost of «The Lost World: Jurassic Park» also only then about 150 million USD, is only Box Office has made Firefly gain merely greatly gains especially, but the average production costs of Warner five movies approached 100 million USD, the complete manufacture and release gross charge even achieve the greatness of 700 million USD, 1 billion USD global Box Office, is unable to make Time Warner recoup the so large amount cost by far, compared in the weak loss of last year 90 million USD, will receive implication of Film Industry service, the Time Warner this year's loss quota will expand further. 凭借出色的口碑和首部积累的人气,《侏罗纪公园2》全球票房虽然达不到首部的全球十亿,却也相差无几。更何况,《侏罗纪公园2》的全部制作和宣发成本也只有1.5亿美元左右,仅仅只是票房就已经让萤火虫大赚特赚,但华纳五部影片的平均制作成本就已经接近一亿美元,全部的制作和发行总支出甚至达到7亿美元之巨,10亿美元的全球票房,远远无法让时代华纳收回如此巨额的成本,相比于去年9000万美元的微弱亏损,受到电影业务的拖累,时代华纳今年的亏损额度将进一步扩大。 Perhaps, was the time probes Time Warner Board of Directors to have the possibility of resolution service. By the superiority of entire US second largest cable television operator, future several quite well-known charge wired stages, basically and Time Warner has the more or less owning stocks relations. But this, actually exactly is the Firefly Group short board. 或许,是时候试探一下时代华纳董事会有没有拆分业务的可能性了。凭借全美第二大有线电视运营商的优势,未来几家比较知名的收费有线台,基本上都和时代华纳有着或多或少的持股关系。而这一块,却恰好是萤火虫集团的短板。 „Eric, what are you thinking?” The ear bank broadcasts the Amy sound suddenly. “艾瑞克,你在想什么？”耳畔突然传来艾米的声音。 Eric takes back the train of thought that is sorry has smiled, said: „Anything, has not said the Metro Goldwyn Mayer matter.” 艾瑞克收回思绪,抱歉的笑了下,道:“没什么,说说米高梅的事情吧。” Chatted several moment ago at will, main purpose that but Amy comes today, is the purchase of Flower Films to Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Leaves the neutral before Los Angeles while Eric, Amy catches up to exchange the business in this aspect with Eric specially. 刚才随意聊了几句,但艾米今天过来的最主要目的,还是花朵影业对米高梅的收购。趁着艾瑞克离开洛杉矶之前的这段空挡,艾米专门赶来与艾瑞克交流这方面的事务。 Amy nodded, why has not closely examined Eric to be distracted a moment ago, said: „Vivendi and Kerkorian have our these three to hope to purchase the influence temporary offer of Metro Goldwyn Mayer in 1.5 billion USD about, in Flower Films and DreamWorks movie-making will possibly cut off after Metro Goldwyn Mayer the cooperation the news spreads, another two once more have not given the offer. The Vivendi high level has contacted with me with Kerkorian, but also hopes that one side can see with you, they know that Flower Films did not have enough purchase fund, therefore hopes that can cooperate in this purchase. Offer that side Crédit Lyonnais, they give is 1.8 billion USD, everybody is refusing to budge temporarily.” 艾米点了点头,没有追问艾瑞克刚才为何会走神,说道:“威望迪、科克里安还有我们这三家希望收购米高梅的势力暂时的报价都在15亿美元左右,在花朵影业和梦工厂制片可能会与米高梅断绝合作的消息传出后,另外两家都没有再次给出报价。威望迪的高层和科克里安都与我联系过,还希望能与你见一面,他们知道花朵影业这边还没有足够的收购资金,所以都希望能够在这次收购上进行合作。里昂信贷那边,他们给出的报价是18亿美元,大家暂时都在僵持。” Eric held the coffee cup to listen to Amy to say peacefully, fast was calculating at heart. 艾瑞克捧着咖啡杯安静地听艾米说着,心里也在快速盘算。 Even if purchase price placed 1.5 billion USD about finally, Flower Films wants to pull out this sum of money not to be easy. 哪怕最终收购价格维持在15亿美元左右,花朵影业想要掏出这笔钱也不容易。 In the Eric plan, Firefly Group hundred million 300 million USD cashes, sells outright «Forrest Gump» overseas and recording tape and television telecast and other distribution rights. «Mission: Impossible» that Flower Films distributed at the end of last year, the income will be used to repay manufacture financing of earlier several movies, following «Night at the Museum», initially was taken back Marvel Superhero copyright as the chip, is also limited to the income that Flower Films brings, let alone the income settlement of «Night at the Museum» must wait till probably at the end of the year. 艾瑞克计划中,萤火虫集团将亿3亿美元现金,买断《阿甘正传》的海外和录像带、电视播映等发行权。花朵影业去年底发行的《碟中谍》,收入将用于偿还前期几部影片的制作融资,接下来的《博物馆奇妙夜》,当初被作为筹码收回漫威超级英雄版权,给花朵影业带来的收入也有限,更何况《博物馆奇妙夜》的收入结算大概要等到年底了。 Calculates that in Flower Films hand available fund, the domestic Box Office income and Firefly that selling outright fund only then «Forrest Gump» brings, in 400 million USD about, has very big gap to 1.5 billion USD. 算下来,花朵影业手中可用的资金,就只有《阿甘正传》所带来的国内票房收入和萤火虫的买断资金,大致在4亿美元左右,离15亿美元还有很大的缺口。 ps. pursues baby shoes, the free appreciation ticket and did the beginning coin have ~ 515 red package list countdowns, I drew a ticket, asked to increase price and appreciate the ticket, finally flushed!( To be continued.) ps.追更的童鞋们,免费的赞赏票和起点币还有没有啊~515红包榜倒计时了,我来拉个票,求加码和赞赏票,最后冲一把！(未完待续。)
