„Eric, Chris, making me help you introduce, this is John Neff, truly speaking, his many economic viewpoint I do not approve, but we cannot deny that John wields Windsor fund in the twenty years, this company almost realized every year has surmounted to say the Jones index over 3% rates of increment.” “艾瑞克,克里斯,让我帮你们介绍一下,这位是约翰・内夫,说实在的,他的很多经济学观点我并不认同,但我们不能否认,约翰执掌温莎基金这二十年来,这家公司几乎每年都实现了超越道琼斯指数3%以上的增长率。” The New York Queens, the time is the Halloween later second day, Eric on time rushes to the meeting that Buffett said that the place distinguishes in the resort in a rich person in Queens. 纽约皇后区,时间已经是万圣节之后的第二天,艾瑞克准时赶到了巴菲特所说的聚会,地点在皇后区的一个富人区别墅里。 Hears ‚Windsor fund that’ Buffett said name, Eric selects the eyebrow slightly, but in the surface puts out a hand as before warmly at present this appearance and Buffett has several points of similar, even leads the old person of black frame hawk's-bill turtle eyeglasses to shake hand similarly. 听到巴菲特所说的‘温莎基金’名字,艾瑞克微微挑眉,不过表面上依旧非常热情地伸手与眼前这个长相和巴菲特有着几分相似,甚至同样带着黑框玳瑁眼镜的老人握手。 „Hello, Eric, Chris,” John Neff with a face all smiles separately in Eric and Chris handshake, as if very much discontentedly looked at Buffett: „Hey, Warren, you were in front of my to scold me before the young people, perhaps we also need to find a time to discuss you specially to the view of effective market theory.” “你们好,艾瑞克,克里斯,”约翰・内夫笑容满面地分别于艾瑞克和克里斯握手,又似乎很不满地看了眼巴菲特:“嘿,沃伦,你又当着我的面在年轻人面前数落我了,或许我们还需要专门找个时间讨论一下你对有效市场理论的看法。” „Naturally does not have the issue, I have the time anytime,” Buffett haha smiled, said: „But, I must lead two young people to know now other old fogies.” “当然没问题,我随时都有时间,”巴菲特哈哈笑了笑,又道:“不过,现在我要带两个年轻人去认识一下其他老家伙了。” Such responder, Buffett toward John Neff lifted raised hand the wine glass, was bringing Eric and Chris toward another 60-year- old person in front of: „Another John,” Buffett has lifted raising glass toward front old person, said to Eric and Chris: „John Bogle, John, this is Eric, Chris, you know.” 这么回答者,巴菲特朝约翰・内夫举了举手中的酒杯,带着艾瑞克和克里斯朝另外一个60多岁的老人面前:“又一个约翰,”巴菲特朝面前的老人举了举杯,对艾瑞克和克里斯说道:“约翰・博格尔,约翰,这是艾瑞克,还有克里斯,你们认识一下。” Follows in Buffett another side Chris this time actually somewhat earnestly toward John Bogle puts out a hand: „Mr. Bogle, I am Chris Hansson, knows you very much happily, Oh, I have gone study your many economic these in the university.” 跟在巴菲特另一边的克里斯这次却有些热切地朝约翰・博格尔伸出手:“博格尔先生,我是克里斯・汉森,很高兴认识你,哦,我在大学的时候就读过你的很多经济学论文。” „Hello, Chris, I know you, the Firefly investment company these years investment portfolio was splendid, perhaps we can find time to chat.” “你好,克里斯,我知道你,萤火虫投资公司这几年的投资组合非常出色,或许我们可以抽空聊聊。” „Naturally, if I can have this being honored,” Chris nods hastily, sees the misconception of big star to the Eric feeling somewhat movie fan actually. “当然,如果我能拥有这份荣幸的话,”克里斯连忙点头,给艾瑞克的感觉倒是有几分影迷见到大明星的错觉。 However, this is not strange, in this hall, Buffett did not say that many other people in the Investment famous character. 不过,这也不算奇怪,这间大厅里,巴菲特就不说了,其他很多人都是在投资界大名鼎鼎的人物。 Like John Bogle, Eric has done some schoolworks beforehand, but, even if anything does not do, John the Pioneer Group that Bogle founds enough has also liked thunder reverberating in one's ears, when the memory, this famous investment fund company is most prosperous once was controlling close 900 billion USD wealth, even if at this time, the property of cutting edge fund also achieves 200 billion, although Eric individual net worth achieving has let the situation that many people can not hold a candle, the wealth of but in these old man hands controlling actually goes far beyond him. 就像约翰・博格尔,艾瑞克事先做过一些功课,不过,即使什么都不做,约翰・博格尔创建的先锋集团也足够如雷贯耳了,记忆中,这家著名的投资基金公司最鼎盛时一度掌控着接近9000亿美元的财富,哪怕是此时,先锋基金旗下的资产也达到2000亿,虽然艾瑞克的个人身家已经达到让很多人望尘莫及的地步,但这些老头子手中控制的财富却远远超过他。 Participated in Morgan Stanley Chairman Seymour from yesterday Jill Bert to the present a series of investment big shots who is recommended by Buffett, gradually made Eric understand a truth, represented a person power and influence, most important was not he has many resources, but was he can control many resources. 从昨天参与摩根士丹利董事长西摩・吉尔伯特到现在由巴菲特引荐的一系列投资大亨,逐渐让艾瑞克悟出了一个道理,代表一个人权势的,最重要的不是他拥有多少资源,而是他能够控制多少资源。 Although before then, Eric faintly has had similar idea, a series of capital big alligators that but saw over the two days, making the thought in his heart even more clear, like present John Bogle, although his individual wealth is unable to compare with Eric by far, the Pioneer Group that but he controls, firmly is actually controlling over 200 billion USD properties, massive United States and even global 500 enterprises that Board of Directors seat these properties represent, is these large fund companies can affect the true strength that an industry and even a national economy move toward. 虽然在此之前,艾瑞克就已经隐隐产生了类似的想法,但这两天见到的一系列资本大鳄,让他心中的这个念头愈发清晰起来,就像眼前的约翰・博格尔,虽然他的个人财富远远无法与艾瑞克相比,但他掌控的先锋集团,却牢牢地控制着超过2000亿美元的资产,这些资产所代表的大量美国乃至世界500强企业董事会的席位,才是这些大型基金公司能够影响一个产业乃至一个国家经济走向的真正实力。 As Buffett transferred in the hall, before arriving at a bar, Buffett has traded one glass of liquor, chatted several with Eric and Chris, then said: „Was good, Eric, you can ask the fellow who is interested to chat, naturally, can know and your same age these young people.” 随着巴菲特在大厅里转了一圈,来到一个吧台前,巴菲特换了一杯酒,与艾瑞克和克里斯又聊了几句,然后道:“好了,艾瑞克,你们可以找感兴趣的家伙聊聊,当然,也可以认识一下与你们同龄的这些年轻人。” Appearance that Chris already being eager to try, hears Yanchao Eric and Buffett have lifted raising glass, walks toward other places. As an outstanding student of financial professional, is very obvious, in the field has the master investor who makes him admire much . Moreover, these people absolutely probably have the truly learned and genuinely talented compared with the so-called economist who only meets the empty talk. 克里斯早就一副跃跃欲试的模样了,闻言朝艾瑞克和巴菲特举了举杯,就朝其他地方走去。作为一个金融专业的高材生,很显然,场内有不少让他仰慕的大师级投资人,而且,这些人绝对要比很多只会空谈的所谓经济学家要更有真才实学。 In the hall except for Buffett just specially was Eric and some old man of Chris introduction, were many and their age similar youth, looking at the situation should also be the young later generation that these people brought, was only during the speeches, the silver-haired old people led a 30 year youth to walk toward Buffett: „Hey, Warren, good evening, Oh, Eric, said that this was my brother's child, in especially, he holds the post to invest Manager in Kann Brothers Inc. now.” 大厅里除了巴菲特刚刚特意为艾瑞克和克里斯介绍的一些老头子,还有不少和他们年龄相似的青年,看情形应该也是这些人带来的年轻后辈,只是说话间,就有一个满头银发的老人带着一个三十岁左右的青年朝巴菲特这边走来:“嘿,沃伦,晚上好,哦,还有艾瑞克,介绍一下,这是我哥哥的孩子,内特,他现在在卡恩兄弟公司担任投资经理。” Eric knows that the opposite party goal is Buffett, smiled toward several people, gets out of the way on own initiative. 艾瑞克知道对方的目标是巴菲特,朝几人笑了笑,主动走开。 Has relayed a while in the crowd, is chatting happy Virginia to note the Eric form in one group of female family members, walks toward him. 在人群中转了一会儿,原本正在一群女眷中聊得开心的维吉尼娅注意到艾瑞克的身影,朝他走来。 „What was chatting?” At this time Eric toward just chatted the female guest who looks at to lift raising glass with Virginia, asked that pulls the woman of his arm. “在聊什么？”艾瑞克朝刚刚与维吉尼娅聊天此时望过来的女宾举了举杯,笑着问挽住他手臂的女人。 „Movie the fashion and so on, in brief is not the thing that your male chauvinists are interested.” “电影啊时尚啊之类,总之不是你们这些大男人感兴趣的东西啊。” Eric said with a smile: „Oh, I am interested in these things actually very much.” 艾瑞克笑道:“哦,其实我对这些东西很感兴趣的。” They were saying, has heard a male voice: „Hey, Eric.” 两人正说着,身后传来了一个男声:“嘿,艾瑞克。” Has turned the head, Eric sees Bill Mr. and Mrs. Gates, puts out a hand with a smile: „Hey, good evening, Bill, Melinda, this is Virginia.” 转过头,艾瑞克看到比尔・盖茨夫妇,笑着伸手:“嘿,晚上好,比尔,梅琳达,这位是维吉尼娅。” „When hello, Ms. Madsen, I and Melinda initially appointment, has watched your movie exactly together, «The Others», right?” “你好,马德森女士,我和梅琳达当初约会时,恰好一起去看过你的电影呢,《小岛惊魂》,对吗？” „Yes, has not thought, that is several years ago,” Virginia gracefully with Bill Gates and Melinda Gates shook hand separately. “是的,真没想到呢,那已经是几年前了啊,”维吉尼娅落落大方地与比尔・盖茨和梅琳达・盖茨分别握了握手。 Since Win95 attains greatly is successful, Microsoft in the half year rapidly sped up in the layout of Internet industry, not only has brought out the web portal service, even starts to step in the role of Internet service provider, duplicated previous life that type ‚to see that completely goose flew to eat to hit’ strategy, at this time can say that already started engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Yahoo and AOL. 自从win95大获成功之后,微软这半年来迅速加快了在互联网产业的布局,不但已经推出了门户网站业务,甚至开始涉足互联网服务提供商的角色,完全重复了前世那种‘看到大雁飞过吃不吃都要打下来’的策略,此时可以说已经与雅虎和美国在线开始了短兵相接。 Eric maintains the close attention to the Microsoft relevant operation, therefore, from Microsoft several months non- worried thoughts not hot expansion accomplishment, Eric regarding the threat of Microsoft, although maintains the vigilance, actually not extremely in feeling of being critical situation. 艾瑞克一直对微软的相关业务保持紧密的关注,因此,从微软几个月来不愠不火的扩张成果来看,艾瑞克对于微软的威胁虽然保持警惕,却并没有太过于如临大敌的感觉。 Lost browser important Internet connection resources, compares in previous life, Eric does not favor the Microsoft Internet service at this time . Moreover, after Windows95 success, Microsoft has been a foregone conclusion in potential of the operating system market monopoly, the big company gets sick also to start to appear gradually, after the corporate system gradually extremely fat lost the flexibility of going all out, even if there is formidable resources, but wants to march a rapid growth the profession also absolutely is not that easy matter. 失去了浏览器这个重要的互联网接口资源,相比于前世,艾瑞克此时更是不看好微软的互联网业务,而且,Windows95成功之后,微软在操作系统市场垄断之势已成定局,大公司病也开始逐渐显现出来,在公司体制逐渐臃肿丧失了锐意进取的灵活性之后,即使拥有强大的资源,但想要进军一个高速发展的行业也绝对不是那么容易的事情。 Although started the life and death competition in secret, but both sides will both not display, after exchanged greetings, Eric remembered some time ago matter, asked: „Bill, heard that you some time ago went to guo, feels what kind of?” 虽然私底下已经开始了你死我活的竞争,但双方都不会表现出来,寒暄过后,艾瑞克想起不久前的事情,问道:“比尔,听说你不久前去中囯了,感觉怎么样？” Bill Gates shrugs, said: „There market environment, in brief, is very awful, but, always a very huge market, probably my following several years must pass several.” 比尔・盖茨耸耸肩,道:“那里的市场环境,总之,挺糟糕的,不过,总是一个非常庞大的市场,或许我接下来几年还要过去几趟。” Eric smiled, Schoolmate Bill goes to the guo many technical big shots of goal in the memory is the same, to develop seems like the bright guo market. 艾瑞克笑了笑,比尔同学去中囯的目的和记忆里很多科技大亨的一样,都是为了开拓看似光明的中囯市场。 Just, Eric believes that Bill Gates runs several, just knows there market environment is not very awful, but is awful. The standard fixed price of Windows95 transforms Renminbi close 2000, even if the fixed price of Chinese version drastically reduces, is not this time that side user can withstand absolutely, Microsoft can develop only, only then the enterprise market, is these can not spend oneself money to buy the legal copy system the place. 只不过,艾瑞克相信比尔・盖茨多跑几趟,就知道那里的市场环境不是挺糟糕的,而是非常糟糕。Windows95的标准定价转换成人民币接近2000块,即使中文版的定价大幅降低,也绝对不是此时那边用户能够承受的,微软唯一能够开拓的,也只有企业级市场,就是那些可以不花自己钱去买正版系统的地方。 Eric also wants to go back to have a look actually, but his status actually not like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett is so simple, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett is only the pure entrepreneur, Eric is grasping the North America biggest media group, is having so huge media channel resources, if extremely intimate with that side, comes under the attack of competitor is almost is hard to avoid, Eric could not make these just to accept others to entertain warmly gets angry in an instant does not recognize said that the politician countenance of person malicious remarks, did not go looking for trouble simply. 艾瑞克其实也非常想回去看看,但他的身份却不像比尔・盖茨和沃伦・巴菲特那么简单,比尔・盖茨和沃伦・巴菲特都只是纯粹的企业家,艾瑞克却掌握着北美最大的传媒集团,掌握着如此庞大的媒体渠道资源,如果与那边太过亲近,受到竞争对手的攻击几乎是难以避免的,艾瑞克也做不来那些刚刚接受别人热情招待转眼就翻脸不认说人坏话的政客嘴脸,索性就不自找麻烦。 With Bill Gates chatted several, although both sides as before maintain the polite manner, but will not have too the common language eventually, both sides separate respectively, Eric lifted the arm, making Virginia pull itself, said: „Walks, since Warren leads me to come to here specially, cannot disappoint his good intention, contacts with these old man definitely is of great help.” 与比尔・盖茨聊了几句,虽然双方依旧保持客客气气的态度,但终究不会有太多共同语言,双方各自分开,艾瑞克抬了抬手臂,让维吉尼娅挽着自己,说道:“走吧,既然沃伦特意带我来这里,总不能辜负他一番好意,和这些老头子多接触一下肯定是大有裨益的。” Virginia looked at not far away to bring Emily with one Chris that wore the middle-aged person of eyeglasses to chitchat warmly, said with a smile: „Good, but, this situation, you surely do not have Chris to accomplish a task with ease.” 维吉尼娅看了眼不远处带着艾米丽正与一个戴眼镜的中年人热情攀谈的克里斯,笑道:“好啊,不过,这种场合,你肯定没有克里斯那么游刃有余呢。” „Has not related,” Eric smiles, said: „I can discuss movie with them.” “没关系,”艾瑞克笑笑,道:“我可以和他们谈电影。” „Hehe.” “呵呵。” Was chatting in a low voice, Eric brought Virginia to walk toward the crowd. 低声聊着,艾瑞克带着维吉尼娅朝人群走去。 Actually, this situation everybody will not discuss that too proper matter, most mainly manages the personal connection. 其实,这种场合大家也都不会谈太多正经事,最主要地还是经营人脉。 A few years ago, Eric is always at nonstop in the busy condition, he did not like this social gathering, therefore had not felt. 前些年,艾瑞克总是处于马不停蹄地忙碌状态中,他本人也不太喜欢这种交际场合,因此并没有感觉。 But is more recent the day, from Terry Semel to daughter's recording tape, Morgan Stanley Chairman invites him to participate in yesterday's party today's Buffett to lead him to come in this meeting these details, Eric felt gradually periphery everywhere ‚big net’ started to win over him, different tribal groups, different influences, different industries...... But these ‚big net’ the common ground is only, they have formidable influence, they all want to drag into their network him, expansion's strength. 但最近一些日子,从特里・塞梅尔给女儿的录像带,摩根士丹利董事长邀请他参加昨天的派对已经今天巴菲特带他来这个聚会这些细节中,艾瑞克渐渐感觉到了周围无处不在的‘大网’开始拉拢他,不同族群,不同势力,不同产业……而这些‘大网’的共同点只是,他们都拥有非常强大的影响力,并且,他们无一不想将他拉入自己的网络中,以扩充本身的实力。 After this party, at the end of the year running schedule approaches gradually, the Eric two months of half leave life were also near the end. 这次派对之后,年底档期逐渐来临,艾瑞克两个多月的半休假式生活也接近了尾声。 Afterward one week, the entire US majority of media start the close attention the matter, without doubt is forthcoming second Victoria’s Secret Annual Fashion Show. 随后一个星期,全美大部分媒体开始密切关注的事情,无疑是即将到来的第二届维多利亚的秘密年度大秀。 This year's Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show arrangement in November 9, on Thursday. 今年的维密大秀安排在了11月9日,周四。 The official television time was the same with last year, was arranged one month later. Although this year Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, because cares about the age limit of audience, will be arranged to start to broadcast in 10 o'clock, but regarding anticipating entire one year of audience, waited for that two hours are not the too major problems, after all, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show audience is accustomed to the young people of nightlife majority. Although the broadcast time compared last year is postponed for one hour, the viewing ratio statistical agency gave a conservative 25 million people reception to anticipate as before. 正式的电视播出时间和去年一样,被安排在一个月之后。虽然今年维密大秀因为顾及到观众的年龄限制,将被安排在10点钟开始播放,但对于期待了整整一年的观众来说,等待两个小时时间并不是太大问题,毕竟,维密大秀的观众大部分都是习惯于夜生活的年轻人。虽然播放时间相比于去年被推迟了一个小时,收视率统计机构依旧给出了保守2500万人次的收视预期。 Regarding the ordinary viewer, they can only certainly silently after November 9, found the picture or the video about Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in newspaper or TV Station reported that ahead of time satisfies the curiosity, saw officially the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show scene grand occasion actually must wait till for one month later, but regarding receiving several hundred honored guests of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show invitation, they can actually have an eyeful ahead of time. 对于普通观众来说,他们当然只能默默地在11月9日之后,在报纸或者电视台找到一些关于维密大秀的图片或者视频报道提前满足一下好奇心,正式看到维密大秀现场盛况却要等到一个月之后,但对于受到维密大秀邀请的数百位嘉宾来说,他们却可以提前大饱眼福。 Last year after the Eric six months devil correction, the Victoria’s Secret angels was familiar and easy regarding this big show, this year's Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, pressure biggest is takes on Michael of Director heavy responsibility. 去年经过艾瑞克半年时间的魔鬼式调校,维密天使们对于这场大秀已经轻车熟路,今年的维密大秀,压力最大的却是担当导演重任的迈克尔・贝。 Since Michael will soon hold the post of the second Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Director news to be announced that the media have carried on to him have been over six months the strong attention of time, Michael popularity sharp rise at the same time, does not have is bearing very tremendous pressure accidentally. 自从迈克尔・贝即将担任第二届维密大秀导演的消息被公布出来,媒体就已经对他进行了长达半年多时间的强烈关注,迈克尔・贝人气急剧上升的同时,也毫无意外地承受着非常大的压力。 However, Firefly Group is actually happy regarding this matter, because Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show conducts for one week later, Michael the movie place neodymium that directs will make «Bad Boys» will soon screen, in the reputation of this movie by the memory, had the Thanksgiving like this popular running schedule at this time, obtained massive attention ahead of time, Eric believes that Box Office of this movie will go far beyond the original space and time the data almost to affirm. 不过,萤火虫集团对于这件事却非常乐见其成,因为在维密大秀举办一周之后,迈克尔・贝执导的电影处钕作《绝地战警》即将上映,以记忆中这部电影的口碑,此时拥有了感恩节这样的热门档期,又提前获得了大量的关注度,艾瑞克相信这部电影的票房远远超过原时空的数据几乎是肯定的。 Although the actor no longer is Will Smith, but in the original space and time, this movie held red Will Smith, but was not Will Smith handful of red this movie, therefore, replaced the actor's effect on the movie unable to be too big . Moreover, this also had another big advantage, was once «Bad Boys» obtained as scheduled success, Firefly can start the manufacture of sequel immediately, after all, has replaced Will Smith, the sequel of this movie will not look like the previous life that life is full of frustrations again. 虽然男主角已经不再是威尔・史密斯,但原时空中,正是这部影片捧红了威尔・史密斯,而不是威尔・史密斯捧红了这部影片,因此,更换男主角对电影的影响不会太大,而且,这样还有另外一大好处,就是一旦《绝地战警》获得如期的成功,萤火虫可以立刻开启续集的制作,毕竟,换掉了威尔・史密斯,这部影片的续集也将不会再像前世那么命途多舛。 Manhattan, in Lexington Avenue ordnance factory. 曼哈顿,莱辛顿大道兵工厂内。 On November 9, approached along with the evening gradually, on the surroundings street started to gather more and more crowds, bold car(riage)s stopped in the red carpet end one after another, the honored guest who in the car(riage) walked often caused an intermittent scream and cheers. 11月9日,随着傍晚逐渐来临,周围街道上开始聚集越来越多的人群,一辆辆豪车陆续在红毯尽头停下,车内走下来的嘉宾不时引起一阵阵尖叫和欢呼声。 Compared left the Victoria’s Secret angels in last year Eric all spotlight focal points, this year's team changed the strategy slightly, inviting celebrities superstar that more people knew widely to hold the post of the honored guest, by the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show influence, these people was also glad to attend. 相比于去年艾瑞克将所有聚光灯焦点都留给了维密天使们,今年的项目组稍微更改了一下策略,邀请了更多广为人知的名流巨星担任嘉宾,以维密大秀的影响力,这些人也乐得出席。 Eric has not opposed the change of this strategy, but has not gone to collect this liveliness, but directly entered the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show backstage low-key. 艾瑞克并没有反对这种策略的更改,但也没有去凑这个热闹,而是低调地直接进入了维密大秀的后台。
