2 : 00 pm, EricbringsCarolynon timeto arrive atboth sidesto agree the goodcafe, RogerWillabdicatedwaited there.
下午两点,艾瑞克带着卡洛琳准时到达双方约定好的咖啡厅,罗杰・威尔逊已经等在了那里。RogerWillabdicates about 40 years old, is tall, wears the light greywestern-style clothescoverall, is bringing the non-frameeyeglasses, the meticulosity that the haircombs, does not havein the peopleimpressionsloven of technicalengineer.罗杰・威尔逊40岁左右,身材高大,穿着浅灰色西服套装,带着无框眼镜,头发梳理的一丝不苟,丝毫没有人们印象中技术工程师的不修边幅。Politenessmutually after the introduction, found the positionto sit downrespectively.
礼貌的相互介绍之后,找到位置各自坐下。Has ordered the coffee, when the attendantdeparts, RogerWillcannot abdicate the traceto size upEric, said: „Mr. Williams, 007shootsare smooth, does everybodyanticipate?”
点了咖啡,等侍应生离去,罗杰・威尔逊不着痕迹地打量着艾瑞克,道:“威廉姆斯先生,007的拍摄还顺利吗,大家可是都非常期待啊?”Ericnods, said: „Naturally, allsmooth, Roger, youcancallmeEric.”艾瑞克点头,道:“当然,一切顺利,还有,罗杰,你可以叫我艾瑞克。”„Good, Eric,”RogerWillabdicatesnodswith a smile, said: „Actually, knew that youinarmis interested, weareverysurprised.”
“好吧,艾瑞克,”罗杰・威尔逊笑着点点头,道:“其实,得知你对arm感兴趣的时候,我们可是非常惊讶的。”Ericsmiles, the opposite partyconcentrates on the engineer of technologyeventually, suchquicklystartsto march into the subjecton own initiative.艾瑞克笑笑,对方终究还是专注于技术的工程师,这么快就开始主动步入主题。
The attendantscarried the coffee, Erichas stoppedslightly, waited for the opposite partyto leaveonce more, thissaid: „Ihave been interestedin the itdomain . Moreover, in my opinion, the armtechnology has widespreadapplication prospect, thereforemakesCarolyncollect the technical dataaboutarm.”
侍应生将咖啡端了过来,艾瑞克稍微停顿了下,等对方再次离开,这才说道:“我一直都对it领域非常感兴趣,而且,在我看来,arm技术有着非常广泛的应用前景,所以才让卡洛琳收集关于arm的技术资料。”RogerWillthinksthatsaid: „Eric, Icanknowyouto the armtechnologyconcretehopes?”罗杰・威尔逊想了想,说道:“艾瑞克,我可以知道你对arm技术的具体期许吗?”„Naturally,”Ericnodded, looked atCarolyn.
“当然,”艾瑞克点头,看了看卡洛琳。
The girltook out a model of Newtontablet PCfrom the package, has placedon the tabletop.
女孩从包里取出了一款牛顿平板电脑,放在了桌面上。Ericturns on the tablet PC, said: „Ihope that canbuyarm , to continue to concentrate on the development of application softwarechip.”艾瑞克将平板电脑打开,说道:“我希望能够买下arm,继续专注于应用软件芯片的开发。”
To buyarmCorporation, needs a reasonablereasoneventually, otherwise the armtechnology teamis impossibleto followonenot to haveBoss of goal.
想要买下arm公司,终究需要一个合理的理由,否则arm的技术团队也不可能跟随一个毫无目的的老板。Ericbuys the armgoalto be simple, toprevent the wide scopeproliferation of armtechnology, evencuts offtopossiblycompetitor'stechnology licensing.艾瑞克买下arm的目的非常简单,为了阻止arm技术的大范围扩散,甚至掐断对可能竞争对手的技术授权。Butthismonopolymeaningfullreasonaffirmationsaidfor the bystanderinsufficient.
但这个垄断意味十足的理由肯定不足为外人道。As for the research and development of mobile phone chip, in the ErichandhadNokiaandQualcomm, so long asthesetwocompaniesare under the completeauthorization of armtechnology, the research and developmentstrengthinmobile phone chip, goes far beyondarmitselfabsolutely.
至于手机芯片的研发,艾瑞克手中已经拥有了诺基亚和高通,这两家公司只要得到arm技术的完整授权,在手机芯片方面的研发实力,绝对远远超过arm本身。After the detailedconsideration, Ericwill then focusin the tablet PC.
经过详细考虑,艾瑞克便将目标放在平板电脑上。RogerWillabdicatedfrom the ErichandreceivedthatstageNewtonplate, has operatedsimplyseveral, the expressionsomewhatwas low-spirited, said: „Eric, mypreviousandAppleCEOJohnMr.Calleytelephones, theypossiblynext yearmuststop the Newtondullproduction, therefore, thismodel of product, shouldbeis defeated.”罗杰・威尔逊从艾瑞克手中接过那台牛顿平板,简单地操作了几下,表情却有些黯然,道:“艾瑞克,我上次和苹果的eo约翰・斯卡利先生通电话,他们可能明年就要停止牛顿平板的生产了,所以,这款产品,应该算是失败了。”Roger the Willout of itsubtext was sayingobviouslythaton the Ericchoiceresearch and developmentdullpalm the computerwas not the wiseaction.罗杰・威尔逊的潜台词显然是在说,艾瑞克选择研发平板掌上电脑并不是明智之举。ButEricactuallydid not agree that RogerWillout of itviewpoint, hesaid: „Roger, Newtonhimselfis a model of verysplendidproduct, reason thatitfailure, buthad not foundownappropriateprice and market position. Inacquiredmaterialaccording tomyhand, last yearon the palm the overallquantity of delivery of PC markethad achieved the 3 millionstage, butin the first half of this year, thisdigithad achieved2600,000, cansaythatthisis a growthveryrapidmarket.”
但艾瑞克却不同意罗杰・威尔逊的观点,他说道:“罗杰,牛顿本身是一款非常出色的产品,它之所以失败,只是没有找到自身合适的价格与市场定位。根据我手中收集到的资料,去年掌上电脑市场的整体出货量就已经达到300万台,而今年上半年,这个数字就已经达到了260万,可以说,这是一个增长非常迅速的市场。”RogerWillabdicatescountsunderconsider as finishedrapidly, ifEricsaidright, according to the fixed prices of average500USD, the market size of tablet PCwill achieveabout2.5 billionUSDthis year. Compared with over a thousandhundred millionUSDPC markets, thisdigitappearsnot worthy of mentioning, butalsosufficientlyprovedvalue that the tablet PChas.罗杰・威尔逊迅速计算了下,如果艾瑞克说的没错,按照平均500美元的定价,今年平板电脑的市场规模就将达到25亿美元左右。虽然与上千亿美元的个人电脑市场比起来,这个数字显得微不足道,但也足以证明平板电脑存在的价值。armtenableoriginal intentionfor the Apple Inc.Newtonplateresearch and developmentprocessor, RogerWillabdicatesas well as the armmajority ofengineershas the sentimentregarding the tablet PC.
arm成立的初衷就是为苹果公司的牛顿平板研发处理器,罗杰・威尔逊以及arm的大部分工程师对于平板电脑还是非常有感情的。ThinksthatRogerWillsaid: „, Eric, whattablet PC do youhopeto build a model of?”
想了想,罗杰・威尔逊道:“那么,艾瑞克,你希望打造一款什么样的平板电脑?”Ericsaid: „Iplanto build the model of peripheralhardware product of YahooInternet companythismodel of tablet PC. Ifwecancooperate, arm the development of responsiblechip, Yahooforthistablet PCdevelopment expertiseoperating system, Yahoo the browser, instant messengerandelectronic mailand otherservicesoftware integrations of thismodel of tablet PC. Ihope that thismodel of productstressedon the entertainment and usability, it not only can connect the Internet, but can also readandlisten to the musicwait/etc..”艾瑞克道:“我计划把这款平板电脑打造成雅虎网络公司的一款周边硬件产品。如果我们双方能够合作,arm将负责芯片的开发,雅虎则为这款平板电脑开发专门的操作系统,将雅虎旗下的浏览器、即时通讯、电子邮箱等服务软件集成到这款平板电脑当中。我希望这款产品更加侧重于娱乐性和实用性,它不但可以连接互联网,还能够看书、听音乐等等。”„According toyourview, this is actually a miniaturehand-heldpterminal,”RogerWillsaid: „But, Eric, youhad consideredhowlinked networkissue, the tablet PCbiggestsuperiorityis the mobility, youcanuseitinanyplace, but iftouse the network, mustdrag a longmesh wireto walk around, Ithink that most peoplewill think, this might as wellnotebookis more convenient.”
“按照你的说法,这其实就是一款迷你的手持p终端,”罗杰・威尔逊道:“不过,艾瑞克,你有考虑过如何连接网络的问题吗,平板电脑最大的优势就是移动性,你可以在任何地方使用它,但如果为了使用网络,就必须拖着一根长长的网线到处走动,我想大部分人都会觉得,这样还不如一台笔记本电脑更方便一些。”„Thisverycan be solved,”Ericsaid with a smile: „At the beginning of this year, Imade the Fireflyelectronbuy a completepatent of WLANtechnologyexactly, namedii, thistechnologycanrealize the connection of the terminal deviceandInternetin the short distanceworks, althoughpropagation distance, only thendozensmeters, butenoughhas satisfied the person'sregioninownorcompanyuses the request of Internetwillfully.”
“这个很好解决啊,”艾瑞克笑道:“今年年初,我恰好让萤火虫电子买下了一项无线局域网技术的完整专利,名叫ii,这一技术可以在短距离内实现终端设备与互联网的连接工作,虽然传播距离只有几十米,但已经足够满足一个人在自己家中或者公司区域任意使用互联网的要求。”„This seems to be similar to the blue chips that EricssonCorporationcomes up with,”RogerWillsaid: „But, Eric, wecouldiitechnology integrations the tablet PC, but does the signaltransmission sourcefromcome?”
“这似乎和爱立信公司推出的蓝牙技术非常相似,”罗杰・威尔逊道:“但是,艾瑞克,我们或许可以把ii技术集成到平板电脑当中,但信号发射源从哪来?”Integrated the wirelessroutes of iitechnologytotenyearslaterstartedto emerge, althoughFireflywas controlling the Ciscomassivestockholder's rights, but the Ciscoprimarybusiness areawas the enterpriseroutermarket, the wide scoperelated to the individual consumptionterminal, Ericwill not have interfered the Ciscomanagementmentalitydesirably.
集成了ii技术的无线路由要到十年后才开始兴起,虽然萤火虫掌控着思科的大量股权,但思科主要的业务领域是企业级路由器市场,并没有大范围涉及个人消费终端,艾瑞克也不会刻意去干涉思科的经营思路。SinceCiscois unable to provideanythingto helpinthisaspect, Eric is also very suspiciouswith the Fireflystrengthpromotesotherroutercompaniesto research and develop the wireless router.
既然思科无法在这方面提供什么帮助,艾瑞克也就很难凭借萤火虫的力量推动其他路由器公司研发无线路由器。However, thisissueis not difficultto be solved.
不过,这个问题也并不难解决。Ericsaid: „So long asinfamilieshas accessed the Internet, creates a signaltransmission source, cancallit‚hot spot’, isveryeasy. Weonlyneedto provideoneto have the peripheral of iitechnicalchipandsignal projectorforthismodel of tablet PC, comparesin the tablet PCfrequentlyseveral hundredUSDselling prices, thisminiatureiisignal projectorproduction costperhapsonly thentenUSD, thereforelike the battery charger of tablet PC, nottoitsoverallcost and selling pricewill createtooin a big waybears, the feasibilitywill be strong.”( To be continued.)艾瑞克说道:“只要一个人家中接入了互联网,那么,创造一个信号发射源,或者,可以叫它‘热点’,也是非常容易的。我们只需要为这款平板电脑配备一个拥有ii技术芯片和信号发射器的外设,相比于平板电脑动辄数百美元的售价,这款迷你的ii信号发射器制作成本或许只有十美元,因此就像平板电脑的充电器一样,并不会对它的整体成本和售价造成太大负担,可行性非常强。”(未完待续。)
