由于要离开拉斯维加斯,艾瑞克也不放心将两个女孩单独留在罪恶之城,干脆在机场将她们送上了飞往洛杉矶的飞机,这才带着随从乘坐萤火虫集团的湾流公务机赶往马里兰州。Last nightfinallywent to sleepalreadynearlytwoo'clock, the airplanelifted offlaterEricto startto make upthinksthatwoke uponce more, the gulf streamcorporate aircraftarrived insky overMaryland.
昨晚最终睡下已经将近两点钟,飞机升空之后艾瑞克就开始补觉,再次醒来,湾流公务机已经到达了马里兰州上空。Marylandsituated inUnited Stateseast coastneighbors the Washingtonspecial zone, the area is too not big, hastens of thousandssquare kilometers. Looksfrom the airplaneporthole, cansee the bigpiecevegetationgreenforest land and farmland, landformas ifalsocloserhill, but the plain of non-vast stretch of flat land.
位于美国东海岸的马里兰州紧邻华盛顿特区,面积不算太大,只有几万平方公里。从飞机舷窗上望下去,可以看到大片草木苍翠的林地和农田,地貌似乎也更接近丘陵,而非一马平川的平原。Althoughis around 8 : 00 am startsfromLas Vegas, but, after fourhours , when landsnorthMarylandFuleidelikeshiAirport, the Eastern Timeis3 : 00 pm.
虽然是上午八点多从拉斯维加斯出发,不过,四个小时后降落在马里兰州北部的弗雷德里克市机场时,东部时间已经是下午三点。
The FuleidelikeshiAirportscaleis very small, does not have the railing, completeopen stylepattern, inairport the majority that only thentworunways, the surroundingsanchor is also only the miniaturepropeller-driven aircraft.
弗雷德里克市机场规模很小,没有围栏,完全的开放式格局,机场内只有两条跑道,周围停泊的大部分也都只是迷你的螺旋桨飞机。

飞机在跑道上停稳后,艾瑞克走下舷梯,戴着一顶牛仔帽穿着朴素的杰弗里已经带着克里斯等人迎了上来,一眼看去,杰弗里似乎清瘦了一些,不过精神明显更加矍铄,如果此时骑着马挂上左轮,明显就是一副西部老牛仔的模样。Justapproached, Jeffreygratefullygave a Ericbigbearto hug: „Hey, Eric, youcamefinally.”
刚刚走近,杰弗里就毫不客气地给了艾瑞克一个大大的熊抱:“嘿,艾瑞克,你总算来了。”„Yes, alwayshastoomanymatters,”Eric explained that carried on the backto pat the racketinJeffrey, said with a smile: „Jeffrey, youlooked likeyounger.”
“是啊,总有太多事情,”艾瑞克解释了一句,在杰弗里背上拍了拍,笑道:“杰弗里,你看起来更年轻了。”Jeffreyalsoimmodestlysmiles: „Haha, everybodythinks.”杰弗里也丝毫不谦虚地笑起来:“哈哈,大家都这么认为。”Exchanged greetingssimplytwo, ErichuggedwithChris, teased: „WasThe Day After Tomorrow, feltwhat kind of?”
简单地寒暄了两句,艾瑞克又与克里斯拥抱了下,调侃道:“就是后天了,感觉怎么样?”„Was numb,”Chrishas self-ridiculedonewith a smile, introducedfollowsinhimandJeffreybehindtwoyouth, ishiscousins.
“麻木了,”克里斯笑着自嘲了一句,又介绍了跟在他和杰弗里身后的两个青年,是他的表兄弟。Ericshook handwithhissame agemanneractuallyquitecautiousyouthwithtwoprobably, Chrisaccess road: „Everybodyis waiting foryouin the farm, wewalk.”艾瑞克与两个大概与他同龄态度却颇为拘谨的青年握了握手,克里斯便道:“大家都在农场里等着你呢,我们走吧。”Ericnods, is bringinghisassistantPeterRitchieandfourbodyguards, ridefourcar that Christheycometo leave the airportto rush to the Jeffreyfarmseparately.艾瑞克点头,带着他的助理彼得・里奇和四位保镖,分别乘坐克里斯他们开来的四辆轿车离开机场赶往杰弗里的农场。Alongcrossing the highway in Fuleidelikeshigoestonorth, looksfrom the ground, the hilllandform of peripheralheightfluctuatingis more obvious, the forest land and farmlandinterlock, is the first month of summerseason, vitalsight of greenmakespeoplefeelpiece by piececompletely relaxedly.

沿着横穿弗雷德里克市的高速公路向北行驶,从地面望去,周边高低起伏的丘陵地貌就更加明显,林地和农田交错,正是初夏时节,一片片充满生机的绿意让人感觉心旷神怡。半个小时后,几辆车离开高速公路,又向东走了不到五公里,便到达了目的地,一处大概有十几户人家的小农庄,农庄周围便是杰弗里的农场,面积大概2000英亩,相当于八平方公里。Jeffreyexcitedlywas introducingall the waythisfarm, saidis the farm, actuallyonly thenon one-fourth landsis planting the wheatand so on crops, in additionalso the forest land of part of covers, otherare the pastures, cansee the form of manyhorsescattleby far, the severalhouseholds in villagebasically are also the worker and renter in farm.
一路上杰弗里都在兴奋地介绍着这处农场,说是农场,其实只有1的土地上种植着小麦之类的农作物,除此之外还有一部分茂密的林地,其他都是牧场,远远地可以看到不少马匹牛羊的身影,农庄里的十几户居民基本上也都是农场的工人和租户。
The pitchroadside of villageentrancehas stoodnumerous more than tenindividuals, after Ericgets out, canrecognize the larger partprobably, Joanna, VirginiaandEmilyand otherwomenstood, threekids, other have certainlyJohnChambersandSteveKyes, JormaOllilaandIanGonuland otherFireflysystemhigh levels, several other people, it is estimated thatshouldbeChris and relatives of Emilyboth sides.
农庄入口处的柏油路边林林总总地站了十多个人,艾瑞克下车后,大概能够认出一大半,乔安娜、维吉尼娅和艾米丽等女人站在一起,当然还有三个小家伙,其他还有约翰・钱伯斯、史蒂夫・凯斯、约玛・奥利拉、伊恩・格尼尔等萤火虫体系高层,其他几人,估计就应该是克里斯和艾米丽双方的亲属。Everybodyjust about toexchanges greetings, a smallformwas shoutingPapathrew, inlaughter that in the peopleexpressionvaries, Ericdoes not evade, holdsaffectionateEmma, asked: „Recentlywas mischievous?”
大家刚要寒暄,一个小小的身影就喊着爸爸扑了过来,在众人表情各异的笑声中,艾瑞克也不避讳,亲昵地将艾玛抱起来,问道:“最近调皮了没有?”„Does not haveOh, Emmais very clever,”kidis hugging the neck of Eric, crisptunnel: „Ialsolearnedto ride a horse, Papa, did weride a horseto be goodtogether?.”
“没有哦,艾玛很乖的,”小家伙搂着艾瑞克的脖子,脆生生地道:“我还学会了骑马呢,爸爸,我们一起去骑马好不好?。”„Oh, Emmais really good, butnowis not good,”Ericpraisedone, the kidgivesJoanna, thistalents and people11exchanged greetings, knew the Emilyparentsas well as the otherfamily members of ChrisFamilywhile convenient.
“哦,艾玛真棒,不过现在可不行,”艾瑞克夸了一句,将小家伙交给走过来的乔安娜,这才与众人11寒暄,顺便认识了艾米丽的父母以及克里斯家的其他一些亲人。
The majority ofguestswill catch upon the same dayat the wedding, in the villagethis timeguest were not many, chatted for more than tenminutes, everybodydivergedtemporarily, the Jeffreyhouseeast the village, EricandJeffreyand the otherswalkedtoward the dwellingtogether.
大部分客人都会在婚礼当天赶来,农庄里此时的客人也不算多,聊了十多分钟,大家暂时散去,杰弗里的房子在农庄东边,艾瑞克和杰弗里等人一起朝住处走去。HoldsKevin that Virginiais filling, passed by the villagecenter, the Ericdoubtsnoteonecrowdare the person of agentinsurroundingare inspectinganythingobviously, lookscuriouslytoChris, JohnChambersand the othersalsowill definitely havesomesecurities, butshould notsuchmake widely knownabsolutelyis right.
一路抱着维吉尼娅塞过来的凯文,路过农庄中心,艾瑞克疑惑地注意到一群明显是特工的人正在周围检查着什么,好奇地看向克里斯,约翰・钱伯斯等人肯定也会带一些安保,但绝对不应该这么张扬才对。Ericdoes not needto open the mouth, Chrisunderstoodhisdoubts, explained: „Mr. and Mrs.Presidentwhen the time comescancome, theseare the people of secret service.”艾瑞克不用开口,克里斯就明白了他的疑惑,解释道:“总统夫妇到时候会过来,这些是特勤局的人。”Ericselects the eyebrowslightly: „Did youinvite?”艾瑞克微微挑眉:“你邀请的?”Chrisshakes the head, said: „Ithreedays ago receives the call of White House, that sidesaid that Mr. and Mrs.Presidenthas free time on the 20 th exactly, Washington is also very neartohere, therefore, youunderstand that Iam always impossibleto reject.”克里斯摇头,道:“我三天前接到白宫的电话,那边说总统夫妇20号恰好有空,华盛顿离这里又很近,所以,你明白的,我总不可能拒绝。”Ericsmiles, has not been sayinganything.艾瑞克笑笑,没在说什么。John that except thathas caught up withChambersand otherenterprisemanagement, as a result ofChrisrecently the personal connections of theseyear of management, the weddingon the same day, definitelyalsowill haveWarrenBuffettand otherheavyweightbusinessbigcatches upto attend the Chriswedding.

除了已经赶过来的约翰・钱伯斯等企业高管,由于克里斯最近这些年经营的人脉,婚礼当天,肯定还会有沃伦・巴菲特等重量级的商界大咖赶来参加克里斯的婚礼。到时候,聚集在这处小小农庄里的企业高管,仅仅只是萤火虫体系,就控制着总资产超过2000亿美元的企业,白宫里的那两位甚至只要捐一笔正治献金就可以出席别人的活动,自然不会放过这次施加自身影响力的机会。AlthoughEricwill not disengagewithpolitical circlecompletely, buttoowill not become friends with the mansionhigh levelon own initiative. But the opposite partycollectson own initiative, similarlywill not reject, hitsto relatewithPresident, does not have the faulttoFirefly.艾瑞克虽然不会完全与政界脱离接触,但也不会太主动地与正府高层结交。但对方主动凑上来,同样也不会拒绝,与总统打好关系,对萤火虫也并没有坏处。ManyUnited Statesrich and powerful peoplehavepurchaselandto work as the custom of farm operator, inmediaprofessionCNNmajor stockholderThederTurneris one of the United Statesmaximumpersonalfarm operators, hasseveral thousandsquare kilometersprivate land.

很多美国富豪都有购买土地当农场主的习惯,传媒行业中CNN的大股东特德・特纳就是美国最大的私人农场主之一,拥有数万平方公里的私人土地。杰弗里的这处农场同样是从一个商人手中接过来的,对方原本只是将其作为避暑休闲的去处,因此,这处用于居住的农庄里有着一栋非常精致的砖石别墅,不但外貌漂亮,而且最大的特点就是房间特别多,安顿十几20个客人绰绰有余。However, at this timein the villa is mainly occupyingChris and relatives of Emilyboth sides, JohnChambersand the otherswere arrangedin several other houses.
不过,此时别墅里主要居住着克里斯和艾米丽双方的亲属,约翰・钱伯斯等人被安排在另外几处住宅里。Ericnaturallyalsobelongs to the relativerank, thereforesamehouseJeffrey.艾瑞克自然也属于亲属级别,因此同样住宅杰弗里家。
After calmlyis completely good, the timeisin the evening.
完全安顿好之后,时间已经是傍晚。The Day After Tomorrowis the wedding, tomorrowalso many trivial mattersneedto prepare, in the eveningeverybodysimplygathered, thenearlyrests.后天就是婚礼,明天还有很多琐事需要准备,晚上大家只是简单地聚了一下,便都早早休息。Althoughwantsto get rid ofbusyofficial businesstemporarily, butthiseventuallyis not the tooeasymatter.
虽然想要暂时摆脱繁忙的公务,但这终究不是太容易的事情。Next morning, was the newweek, Ericjustgot out of bedexactly, the breakfastwith enough timehas not eaten, PeterRitchietogether withspeciallylabelledgoodseveralnewspaperto deliver a document.
第二天一大早,恰好是新的一周,艾瑞克刚刚起床,早饭都还没来得及吃,彼得・里奇就将一份文件连同特意标注好的几份报纸送了过来。Originally, afternearlyonemonth of verification, the CaliforniaSan Franciscofederal courtwill maketo rejectSony, hundredgeneration and BMGthreecompaniesto requestofficiallyto ban the request of MP3audio formatplayer. The officialpress conference the timetodaynineo'clockwestUnited Statesofficiallyconvenes, but, the newsdisclosedahead of time, andlanded the United Statesmajormainstreamnewspaperimportantpage layouts.
原来,经过将近一个月时间的审核,加州旧金山联邦法院正式做出驳回索尼、百代、BMG三家公司要求禁售MP3音频格式播放器的请求。正式的新闻发布会将在美国西部时间今天九点钟正式召开,不过,消息却已经提前透露了出来,并且登陆了美国各大主流报纸的重要版面。
The listingwas less than twomonths, FireflyelectronFireflyerfasthas sold the 250,000stage, went far beyondinitiallyWalkman and MDpersonal stereoand other promotedspeeds of portableplayer, moreoverthiswasinsituation that because the Fireflyercapacitywas restricted.
上市不到两个月,萤火虫电子的Fireflyer就已经飞快销售出了25万台,远远超过当初Walkman、MD随身听等便携式播放器的推广速度,而且这还是因为Fireflyer产能受到限制的情况下。
The wide scopesocial influence that hungrymarketing that and otherwaysbecause the Fireflyersaleas well asusesformed, allpeoplehad realized the great potential of possiblesubstitutionmainstreamportableplayer the Fireflyerplayerhas, therefore, jointlyfiled the chargeto startfromSonyseveral, the entiremusic industrywas paying close attention to the response that the San Franciscofederal courtwas possibly making.
由于Fireflyer的热卖以及采用的饥饿营销等方式形成的大范围社会影响力,所有人都意识到了Fireflyer播放器拥有的可能替代主流便携式播放器的巨大潜力,因此,从索尼几家联合提起诉讼开始,整个音乐产业都在密切关注着旧金山联邦法院可能做出的反应。Chrisalsogets up earlysimilarly, andobtainedthisnews.克里斯同样也是早起,并且得到了这条消息。
The timejustpassedseveno'clock, EricandChristakes a walkon the villagealley, reads the San Franciscofederal courtaboutrejecting the lawsuitdocuments of Sonythreecompaniestogether.
时间才刚刚过七点钟,艾瑞克和克里斯在农庄周围的小路上散着步,一起翻看着旧金山联邦法院关于驳回索尼三家公司的诉讼文件。
The lightseveralpages of documentswill lookthatChriscurlsthat the paperin the hand, saidtoEric: „Sonywill definitely not be resigned, although after thiscasewas rejected, theywill not submit the similarlawsuitto doto the federal court of higherrankagainnotstudiously, buttheydefinitelyalsowill seek forotherbreaches.”
将薄薄的几页文件看完,克里斯将纸张卷起来那在手中,对艾瑞克道:“索尼肯定不会甘心的,虽然这桩案子被驳回之后,他们不会再向更高级别的联邦法院递交同样的诉讼做无用功,但他们肯定还会寻找其他的突破口。”
The Sonygroupat presentover50billionUSDmarket values, aresupportmost probablyby the portable musicplayeras well as the relatedattachedindustry, wantsto makeSonysucheasilygive upcontainingFireflyer, naturallyis impossible.索尼集团目前超过500亿美元的市值,大半都是由便携式音乐播放器以及相关附属产业撑起来的,想让索尼这么轻易地放弃遏制Fireflyer,当然不可能。Eric was too not worriedthatcanlookfromthislawsuit, United Statesis the Fireflyhome game, Sony, even iffoundanybreach , the away gameinferiorityweakens the moststriking power.艾瑞克也不是太担心,从这次诉讼就可以看得出来,美国是萤火虫的主场,索尼即使找到什么突破口,也会被本身的客场劣势削弱大半攻击力。„Actually, ifIamIdei Nobuyuki, Iimmediately the senselessaction that gives upthisbeing doomedbeing ableto be defeated, will promote the research and development of digital musicplayerdecisively. Althoughwehave had very bigsuperiority, butSony, ifsomeenoughdeterminations, canpose the threattous.”
“其实,如果我是出井伸之,我会立刻放弃这种注定会失败的无谓之举,果断推动数字音乐播放器的研发。虽然我们已经占了很大的优势,但索尼如果有足够的决心,还是能够对我们产生威胁的。”Chrissaid: „PerhapsIdei Nobuyukihasthisideaalsoperhaps, buthewantsto promote the specific planto implement is actually difficult. The Sonyenterprisestructurewas too scattered, the hardwaredepartmenthas the benefit of hardwaredepartment, the entertainmentdepartmenthad the benefit of entertainmentdepartment, Idei Nobuyukiwantsto sacrificeanyside the benefitto promote the industrial upgrading, onlywill encounter the strong reaction of internalconservative, therefore, thismatterwas basically impossible.”克里斯道:“或许出井伸之有这种想法也说不定,但他想要推动具体方案实行却是难上加难。索尼的企业构架太分散了,硬件部门有硬件部门的利益,娱乐部门有娱乐部门的利益,出井伸之想要牺牲任何一方的利益来推动产业升级,都只会遭到内部保守势力的强烈反弹,所以,这件事基本上不可能。”Ericlookswith a smiletoChris, said: „Youthought that mylayoutto the Fireflyalsoappearedtooscattered?”艾瑞克笑着看向克里斯,道:“你是不是觉得我对萤火虫的布局也显得太分散了?”Chrisdoes not havedirect reactionthisissue, butsaid: „VictorandBillmore than oncementionedwithme, want to return to the Fireflyelectron the onlinemusicstore.”克里斯没有直接回答这个问题,只是道:“维克多和比尔不止一次跟我提起,想要把在线音乐商店要回萤火虫电子。”Ericasked: „Yourmeaning?”艾瑞克问道:“你的意思呢?”Chrissaid: „Yahoois only the registrationuser in North Americanative placeapproached50 millionat presentmerely, the user who realizes the onlinepaymentbehaviorusing the Yah00payplatformhas also surpassed5 million, thisis the onlinemusicstorecansell a 1 millionsongin 5 days the foundation, if the Fireflyelectrondoesalone, probablymustwastemerely for severalyearsinuserdevelopment, will wantto realize the stableearningisnever.”克里斯道:“雅虎目前仅仅只是北美本土的注册用户就已经接近5000万,其中利用Yahoopay平台实现在线支付行为的用户也超过了500万,这才是在线音乐商店得以在5天内卖出100万首歌曲的基础,如果萤火虫电子单独来做,仅仅只是在用户拓展方面或许就要浪费几年时间,想要实现稳定的营收更是遥遥无期。”
The Yahooregistrationconsumer resourcealmostafter1992 the IEbrowserandweb portalissuedstartedto accumulate, develops the 50 millionuserscaleto use for 5years, the hugeregistrationuser group was also the Yahoomost valuableresources. If the Fireflyelectronoperationonlinemusicstore, Yahooalsohas no reasonbe outspokento openownconsumer resourceto the Fireflyelectronaloneagain.雅虎的注册用户资源几乎是从1992年IE浏览器和门户网站发布之后就开始积累,发展到5000万的用户规模足足用了5年时间,庞大的注册用户群也是雅虎最宝贵的资源。如果萤火虫电子单独运营在线音乐商店,雅虎也就没有理由再毫无保留地向萤火虫电子开放自身的用户资源。Chrisobviouslycompared withVictorMaikenaiandBill of FireflyelectronOlssonlooksthoroughly. Alsoor, VictorMaikenaiandBillOlssonis also clearthese, butas the superintendent of FireflyElectronic Co., they are onlyBasic Instinctfavorsgainsmorebenefitsforownwieldingenterprise, even ifthesebenefitswill even hinder the integral developmenttrend of Fireflysystem.克里斯显然要比萤火虫电子的维克多・麦克奈利和比尔・奥尔森看得更透彻。又或者,维克多・麦克奈利和比尔・奥尔森也清楚这些,但作为萤火虫电子公司的管理者,他们只是本能地更倾向于为自身执掌的企业争取更多利益,哪怕这些利益甚至会阻碍萤火虫体系的整体发展趋势。Saidis more serious, selfishis the natural dispositions of allpeople, this point, even ifwere impossibleto changeto the judgment day.
说的严重一些,自私是所有人的本性,这一点哪怕到了世界末日都不可能改变。Shook the headslightly, Ericsaid: „Temporarilydid not discussthis, Southeast Asiathat sideoperationhow?”
微微摇了摇头,艾瑞克道:“暂时不谈这个了,东南亚那边运作的怎么样了?”Chrissaid: „Constructed the warehouseto be near the end, wecanestablish3billionUSDdead endcashprobably, majority was foreign exchangecontracts of a halfyear of time.”克里斯说道:“建仓已经接近尾声了,我们大概能够建立30亿美元的空头头寸,大部分都是半年期的外汇合约。”Nowis in late May, is away from the international idle fundto initiateattackonlyremaining one month to the Southeast Asiacurrency system, in view of the dead endcashscale of entireSoutheast Asiacurrency systemperhapsalreadyoverthousandhundred millionUSD. 700 millionUSDestablishes3billioncash, converts the general ideato have4times of release levers. Althoughhas not achievedEricat heartanticipated, butheis also clearinsituation that in the groupwolfobserves the situation, canbethisdegreenot to be easy.
现在已经是五月下旬,距离国际游资对东南亚货币体系发起攻击就只剩下一个多月时间,针对整个东南亚货币体系的空头头寸规模或许已经超过千亿美元。7亿美元建立30亿的头寸,折算下来大概只有4倍杠杆。虽然没有达到艾瑞克的心里预期,但他也清楚在群狼环视的情况下,能够达到这种程度已经非常不容易了。Speaking ofthis, Erichas remembered the Applematter, said: „A matter, Ihad metLarryat night the day before yesterdayEllison, heis raising the fund to purchaseApple Inc.at present, Ithought that thisis a goodopportunity, thereforecompliesto investpart, um, probably300 millionUSD, is the sum of money of foreign exchange market.”
提起这个,艾瑞克想起了苹果的事情,道:“还有一件事,我前天晚上遇到了拉里・埃里森,他目前正在筹集资金想要收购苹果公司,我觉得这是个不错的机会,所以答应投资一部分,嗯,大概3亿美元,就是外汇市场的这笔钱。”In the Chrisexpressionflashes through an accident, butquicklyreturns tonormal, after all, thisis not the Ericfirstunexpectedinvestmentaction.克里斯表情中闪过一丝意外,但很快恢复平静,毕竟,这已经不是艾瑞克第一次出人意料的投资举动了。However, hesaid: „AboutLarryEllisonwantedto purchase the Applematter, in the circlemore than oncespread the news, was onlyopposite partycontinuouslynottoomanysubstantivemovements. HeandApplefounderSteve the friend who Jobsis better, wishhas letopposite partyagainfingers and palmcompany. However,”Chrisshrugswith a smile, said: „Eric, althoughdoes not know how youthink, Idid not suggestyousuchdo. Althoughreceivesdiversion that the counter-ridgesettles a lawsuit, Microsoftwill not utterly destroytoApple Inc., butby the Windowssystemcurrentstrongstatus, Apple Inc., only ifreverses to the Windowscampon own initiative, otherwisehadtoogreat developmentspacevery muchdifficultlyagain.”
不过,他还是说道:“关于拉里・埃里森想要收购苹果的事情,圈子里已经不止一次传出消息了,只是对方一直都没有太多实质性的动作。他和苹果的创始人史蒂夫・乔布斯是非常要好的朋友,一直想要让对方重新指掌这家公司。不过,”克里斯笑着耸耸肩,道:“艾瑞克,虽然不知道你是怎么想的,我还是不建议你这么做。虽然受到反垄断案的牵制,微软不会对苹果公司斩尽杀绝,但以Windows系统目前的强势地位,苹果公司除非主动倒向Windows阵营,否则很难再有太大发展空间了。”„ActuallyIcompareto favorJobsto return, thereforecompliesto investthissum of money. PerhapsyoualsoknowthatJobsis a paranoia, Ihad thoughtthat the paranoiais always easier than to succeedothers,”Ericexplained: „Moreover, Apple Inc.fixed assetscaleisveryconsiderable, even ifwill go bankruptin the future, wewill not loseare too many.”
“其实我比较看好乔布斯回归,所以才答应投资这笔钱。或许你也知道,乔布斯是个偏执狂,我一直都觉得,偏执狂总是比别人更容易成功的,”艾瑞克解释道:“而且,苹果公司本身的固定资产规模还是非常可观的,即使将来真的破产,我们也不会损失太多。”Chrisnods, said: „Good, Ialsofound timeto pay attentionrecentlythismatter.”克里斯点点头,道:“好吧,我最近也抽空留意一下这件事。”Ericteased: „Saidthatyoudidn't planandEmily are really on one's honeymoontogether?”艾瑞克调侃道:“这么说,你真不打算和艾米丽一起去度蜜月了?”Chrishas hintedwith the lookunderperiphery, said with a smile: „Heresceneryis good, after weplan the wedding, on the dulltwoweeks, consideredto be on one's honeymoonagainhere, but can also accompanyPapa.”克里斯用眼神示意了下周围,笑道:“这里风景不错啊,我们打算婚礼之后,再在这里呆上两周,就当是度蜜月了,还可以陪陪爸爸。”Theysuchwere chatting, unknowinglystrolled the alleyend, frontwas the woods of cover, insideit is saidalsohad the wild boar, definitelycannotwalkagain. Justturning aroundround tripfewcloths, Joannayounger sisterEvaPaculawavedtothemby far, as ifmusthave the breakfast, EricandChristhenstepped outto return to the village.
两人这么聊着,不知不觉已经漫步到了小路尽头,前面是茂密的树林,里面据说还有野猪,肯定是不能再走了。刚刚转身往回没几布,乔安娜的妹妹爱娃・帕库拉远远地就向他们招手,似乎要吃早餐了,艾瑞克和克里斯便加快脚步回到农庄里去。
