Temporarily stops the young shareholder who the Firefly Group profit carries on the stock investment to be different from other discontented Eric, what Buffett most is worried is Eric holds a congenial mentality to do this matter completely. 和其他不满艾瑞克截留萤火虫集团利润进行股票投资的小股东不同,巴菲特最担心的是艾瑞克完全抱着一种投机的心态来做这件事。 However, with the Eric conversation process, Buffett understands gradually the operation of Eric to clover fund has the clear mentality and explicit sense of purpose. 不过,与艾瑞克的交谈过程中,巴菲特逐渐明白艾瑞克对三叶草基金的运作有着清晰的思路和明确的目的性。 Strong confidence that although during not the clear Eric spoken languages can make a profit to this investment from where, but he can actually affirm, since Eric blind to losing reason, he definitely will choose will receive the hand at an appropriate time, but does not hug the gambler mentality stock speculator to hug to defend like these to crash until the stock at the last minute rudes awakening. 虽然不清楚艾瑞克言语间对这笔投资能够获利的强烈信心来自哪里,但他却能肯定,既然艾瑞克没有盲目到失去理智,他肯定会选择在适当的时候收手,而不是像那些抱着赌徒心态的股票投机者那样抱守到最后一刻直到股票崩盘才后悔莫及。 Moreover, Eric seems like chatted in the words regarding the manner of this matter is also explicit: If who is dissatisfied to the Firefly Group operational strategy, Firefly Group can at any time the stock in buy-back opposite party hand. 而且,艾瑞克看似谈笑般的话语里对于这件事的态度也非常明确:如果有谁对萤火虫集团的经营策略感到不满,萤火虫集团可以随时回购对方手中的股票。 The stock value that even if all Firefly Group external stakeholders have reached as high as 260 hundred million USD, Buffett does not doubt Eric to have the gain enough fund buy-back Firefly Group stock strength. 即使所有萤火虫集团外部股东持有的股票价值已经高达260多亿美元,巴菲特也丝毫不怀疑艾瑞克有获取足够资金回购萤火虫集团股票的实力。 As well as is relative to the company market value according to the Firefly Group most outstanding 3 A level credit rating at present less than 10% ultra low ratios of debt to net worth, Firefly Group can distribute at any time reaches the 10 billion USD scale the debenture bond to be used in the buy-back, United States and even the world major banks is also glad to give Firefly Group to provide the huge loan. 按照萤火虫集团最优秀的3A级信用评级以及目前相对于公司市值不足10%的超低负债率,萤火虫集团可以随时发行多达百亿美元规模的公司债券用于股票回购,美国乃至世界各大银行也都非常乐意给萤火虫集团提供巨额贷款。 Let alone, Wall Street wants is slightly the astute investment Manager person, only will want to obtain the Firefly Group stock, only then the fool will make the action that sells. 更何况,华尔街只要是稍微精明一些的投资经理人,都只会想要获得更多萤火虫集团的股票,只有傻子才会做出卖出的举动。 In brief, only then these management or the financial situation very awful company, the major stockholder or the management dumps the stock under the young shareholder and so on pressure will make the compromise. Firefly Group does not have the soft rib in any this aspect, Eric also has to the Firefly Group 100% control strength, can definitely defer to own wish to operate this company. 简而言之,只有那些经营或者财务状况非常糟糕的公司,大股东或者管理层才会在中小股东抛售股票之类的压力下做出妥协。萤火虫集团不存在任何这方面的软肋,艾瑞克也就有着对萤火虫集团100的掌控力,完全可以按照自己的意愿经营这家公司。 Buffett is naturally clear these, in has chatted after Eric, he also totally gave up persuading the Eric thought that but was similar to an elder such has transmitted some past experiences to Eric. 巴菲特自然非常清楚这些,在和艾瑞克聊过之后,他也就彻底放弃了劝说艾瑞克的念头,只是如同一个长者那样向艾瑞克传输了一些自己以往的经验。 Has the supper with Buffett, has delivered old man to leave Eric to the parking lot, just finished the leave returning to Los Angeles Carolyn to hand over a document, said: „Eric, this was the Firefly electron last year the sales data of whole year, Fireflyer two generations of selling plans. They planned that cooperates with Nokia, issued together Fireflyer2 and fixed price of Nokia music cell phone M-100 , Fireflyer 2 and M-100 has also determined, the release conference date decided on April 6, Easter formally started to sell in the weekend. Also, Miss Foster two o'clock comes.” 和巴菲特一起吃过晚餐,艾瑞克到停车场送老头子离开,刚刚结束休假回到洛杉矶的卡洛琳将一份文件递过来,道:“艾瑞克,这是萤火虫电子去年全年的销售数据,还有Fireflyer二代的发售方案。他们打算与诺基亚合作,一起发布Fireflyer2和诺基亚音乐手机M-100,Fireflyer2和M-100的定价也已经确定了,发布会日期定在4月6日,复活节周末正式开始销售。还有,福斯特小姐两点钟过来。” Eric received folder not to open from the Carolyn hand immediately, leading her to leave the parking lot together, asked with a smile: „Christmas day what kind of?” 艾瑞克从卡洛琳手中接过文件夹没有立刻翻开,带着她一起离开停车场,笑着问道:“圣诞节过的怎么样？” „Is very good, when comes back Mama also makes me give regards to you,” Carolyn raised the small face saying that stepped out to follow side Eric. She can feel that side when has itself to be , the Eric association slows down the footsteps desirably, he usually walks is quick. “很好呢,回来时妈妈还让我向你问好,”卡洛琳扬着小脸说着,加快脚步跟在艾瑞克身边。她能够感觉到,有自己在身边时,艾瑞克总会刻意放慢脚步,他平常走路可是很快的。 „Oh, will call also to give regards to your parents for me next time,” Eric was saying, receives the expression intentionally, said: „But, you forgot that gave me to bring the new year's gift?” “哦,下次打电话也代我向你父母问好吧,”艾瑞克说着,又故意收起表情,道:“只不过,你是不是忘记给我带新年礼物了？” Carolyn turns upwards the corners of the mouth to refute: „You have not given my new year's gift, the Christmas does not have.” 卡洛琳翘起嘴角反驳道:“你也没有给我新年礼物呢,圣诞也没有。” „You in United Kingdom, how I give you,” Eric was saying, put out a hand to pull out pulling out in the coat pocket, conjured put out a long linearity box: „Nà, heard that recently was popular letter necklace, I make the person do specially, hangs to fall, but your name Oh, has inlaid the broken drill, is very expensive.” “你在英国啊,我怎么给你,”艾瑞克说着,伸手在外套口袋里掏了掏,变戏法似的拿出一个长条形盒子:“呐,听说最近流行字母项链,我特意让人做的,吊坠可是你的名字哦,镶了碎钻,很贵的。” Carolyn received gift from the Eric hand, why does not know, excitedly the small face actually suddenly becomes ruddy, hesitant, pulled out a small box to give Eric from own pocket: „We went to Italy to play in the new year, saw a watch that there, was very expensive.” 卡洛琳从艾瑞克手中接过礼物,不知为何,兴奋地小脸却突然变得红润起来,犹豫了下,还是从自己口袋里掏出了一个小盒子递给艾瑞克:“我们新年去意大利玩了,在那里看到的一只手表,也,也很贵呢。” Eric clamps the folder in hand in the armpit, walks has disassembled the packing box in hand directly, inside is a silver Gucci wrist watch. Took down that in wrist/skill only hundred to reach jade Li, Eric puts on this Gucci wrist watch, shook shaking, nodded very much satisfied to Carolyn said: „Good, calculates that you have passed, knows holiday time is also thinking Boss.” 艾瑞克把手里的文件夹夹在腋下,边走边直接拆开了手中的包装盒,里面是一只银色的古奇腕表。取下手腕上的那只百达翡丽,艾瑞克将这只古奇腕表戴上,晃了晃,很满意地点头对卡洛琳道:“不错,算你过关了,知道节日的时候还想着自家老板。” Carolyn hears the Eric words, wrinkled the small nose expression to be discontented, the pupil was sparkling. Notes Eric to visit her in the necklace box in hand, somewhat charmingly transfers the vision, she does not dare to put on necklace in this public area. 卡洛琳听到艾瑞克的话,皱了皱小鼻子表达不满,眸子却亮晶晶的。只是,注意到艾瑞克看着她拿在手中的项链盒子,又有些娇羞地转开目光,她可是不敢在这种公共场合就把项链戴上的。 The back of little girl both hands hide the box after behind, Carolyn continues to follow side Eric, asked: „That, Eric, plum?” 小女孩似的背起双手把盒子藏在身后,卡洛琳继续跟在艾瑞克身边,又问道:“那个,艾瑞克,梅的呢？” Eric carries the rack, does intentionally said seriously: „Melanie because Miss Gleason work cannot make Boss satisfy, even also occurred has made fun of the Boss rotten conduct, therefore does not have the new year's gift.” 艾瑞克端起架子,故作严肃道:“梅兰妮・格里森小姐因为工作不能让老板满意,甚至还发生过捉弄老板的恶劣行径,因此没有新年礼物。” „Hehe, definitely some are right, the plum work very much diligently,” Carolyn naturally felt that Eric is cracking a joke, is unforgiving pursues asks. “呵呵,肯定有的对不对,梅工作可是很努力的,”卡洛琳自然感觉到艾瑞克是在开玩笑,不依不饶地追问道。 Eric put out a hand fast to pinch on this girl cheek, sped up the footsteps, walked toward the cinema city movie studio area. 艾瑞克伸手飞快地在这妮子脸蛋上捏了下,加快了脚步,朝影城摄影棚区走去。 Carolyn shouted one, the cheek to stay lightly red same place the moment, felt that several passers-by looked to here, pursued hastily: „Eric, you were really are disrespectful.” 卡洛琳呀的轻叫一声,脸蛋红红地原地呆了片刻,感觉到几个路人看向这边,连忙追了上来:“艾瑞克,你真是太失礼了。” Eric looks that in the expression does not have the lethality to crusade against own petite girl, smiling face some badly said: „Has not given full expression, wants to come again.” 艾瑞克看着语气里毫无杀伤力地讨伐自己的娇小女孩,笑容有些坏地说道:“是不是意犹未尽,想再来一下。” Carolyn has shunted subconsciously, said: „Does not want, you should to I apologize.” 卡洛琳下意识躲开了些,道:“才不要呢,你应该向我道歉。” Eric nods: „Good, I apologize.” 艾瑞克点头:“好吧,我道歉。” Carolyn has forgiven immediately Eric, as before has not actually forgotten the matter: „The new year's gift of that plum?” 卡洛琳立刻就原谅了艾瑞克,却依旧没有忘记刚才的事:“那梅的新年礼物呢？” Eric wants to pinch on this silly girl cheek very much again, but earnestly explained: „Plum is different from you, she lives in Los Angeles, the holiday time has mailed to her.” 艾瑞克很想在这傻妮子脸蛋上再捏一下,只不过还是认真解释道:“梅和你不一样啊,她住在洛杉矶,节日的时候已经寄给她了。” As directly for one group of people who oneself work, as Boss, during the holiday, Eric definitely will not forget that these small details, entire assistant office everyone has the gift. Naturally, because of that matter special relations, the gift of side girl definitely is special. 作为直接为自己工作的一群人,作为老板,节日期间艾瑞克肯定是不会忘记这些小细节的,整个助理办公室每个人都有礼物。当然,因为那层特别的关系,身旁这妮子的礼物肯定是特别一些的。 Carolyn has worked for several years in the Eric assistant office, naturally knows during the holiday , the company will post the matter of gift to them. Several years ago chapter of United Kingdom the Christmas day, she had not received. Listened to Eric saying that Carolyn then realized gift Eric to prepare to her specially, in the heart liked, no longer intertwined just topic. 卡洛琳已经在艾瑞克助理办公室里工作了几年,自然知道节日期间公司会给他们寄送礼物的事情。前几年没有回英国过圣诞节,她也收到过。听艾瑞克这么说,卡洛琳这才意识到手中的礼物艾瑞克特意给她准备的,心中欢喜,也不再纠结刚刚的话题。 Looks that the Carolyn dangling small head follows blindly in own side, Eric suddenly thought one are somewhat selfish, but the moral nature is very difficult to convince itself to feel relieved that makes this girl leave. Perhaps, side Carolyn everyone, cannot help but will produce this girl protects the thought in castle like the princess well, Melanie so, Rachel so, the Carolyn family member definitely also so, Eric is also hard to achieve the exception. 看着卡洛琳垂下小脑袋亦步亦趋地跟在自己身边,艾瑞克突然觉得自己有些自私,只是心底却很难说服自己放心地让这妮子离开。或许,卡洛琳身边的每一个人,都会不由自主地产生把这妮子像公主一样好好保护在城堡里的念头,梅兰妮如此,瑞切尔如此,卡洛琳的家人肯定也如此,艾瑞克也难以做到例外。 A movie studio in cinema city transformed the special «Gravity» project work room, the figure domain also specially forms a group to start the sketchy outer space background that manufactures in the stage prop lamphouse to need to broadcast, following a half year, Eric while participating in shoots «Iron Man», will continue to study the «Gravity» best shoots plan, simultaneously solves the special effect technical question that movie shoots needs. 影城内的一栋摄影棚已经改造成了专门的《地心引力》项目工作室,数字领域也专门成立了一个小组开始制作道具灯箱内需要播放的粗略太空背景,接下来的半年,艾瑞克在参与拍摄《钢铁侠》的同时,也会继续研究《地心引力》的最佳拍摄方案,同时解决影片拍摄需要的特效技术问题。 However, these matters carry on at the same time, «Gravity» Heroine must determine ahead of time that the shoots difficulty of movie is very big, Eric hopes that Heroine can carry on several months of preparation ahead of time. 不过,这些事情进行的同时,《地心引力》的女主角还是要提前确定下来,影片的拍摄难度很大,艾瑞克希望女主角能够提前进行几个月时间的准备。 After considering in detail, the age determination of Heroine in 35 to 40 years old, choosing corner/horn Director to be Eric has also provided a long string appropriate candidate list. 详细斟酌之后,女主角的年龄确定在35到40岁之间,选角导演也为艾瑞克提供了一长串合适人选名单。 Houley Hunt, Jodie Foster and Michelle Pfeiffer and Gina Davis, Helen Hunt, Meg Ryan and Juliet Binoche wait/etc., these are recent the popularity are quite high also conform to the Hollywood star of request. 霍利・亨特、朱迪・福斯特、米歇尔・菲佛、吉娜・戴维斯、海伦・亨特、梅格・瑞恩、朱丽叶・比诺什等等,这些都是最近几年人气比较高同时也符合要求的好莱坞女星。 Among the candidate star, Eric most favors twice obtains Oscar best Heroine Jodie Foster, as for other people, only then in Jodie when Foster is unable to participate performance, Eric will consider. 候选女星当中,艾瑞克最倾向的还是两次获得奥斯卡最佳女主角的朱迪・福斯特,至于其他人,只有在朱迪・福斯特无法参演时,艾瑞克才会考虑。 After script dispatches, Eric also quickly obtained Jodie response of Foster, therefore the agreement meets to chat this afternoon. 剧本递出后,艾瑞克也很快得到了朱迪・福斯特的回应,于是约定今天下午见面聊一下。 From two o'clock also some time, Eric brings Carolyn to enter the «Gravity» movie studio, sits by work table in movie studio reads the Firefly electronic data that Carolyn had just brought. 距离两点钟还有一些时间,艾瑞克带着卡洛琳走进《地心引力》摄影棚,就坐在摄影棚里的工作台旁阅读起了卡洛琳刚刚带来的萤火虫电子资料。 Sold to start from April of last year officially, eight months, with Fireflyer player capacity increase of step by step, in 1997 the annual quantity of delivery of this model of Mp3 player eventually achieved 3 950,000 stages, the sales volume of preliminary estimate was 1.2 billion 60 million USD. 从去年四月份正式发售开始,八个月时间,随着Fireflyer播放器产能的一步步增加,1997年这款Mp3播放器的全年出货量最终达到395万台,初步估算的销售额为12亿6000万美元。 Various North America portable player market absorption capacities were the 30 million stage, Fireflyer have only used for one year, occupied entire portable player market share 13%, this has saying that was a miracle, beside the cassette player, major manufacturers continuously in promotion CD player, MD personal stereo and other equipment, market share also about 20% before 1997. 北美各种便携式播放器市场容量为3000万台,Fireflyer只用了一年时间,就占据了整个便携式播放器市场份额的13%,这不得不说是一个奇迹,卡带式播放器之外,各大厂商一直在推广的CD播放器、MD随身听等设备,在1997年之前的市场份额也才20%左右。 The detailed financial report of Firefly electron is still counting, Eric has read the sales data bulletin of Fireflyer player, reversed in the Fireflyer two generations of selling plans. 萤火虫电子的详细财务报告还在统计当中,艾瑞克看过Fireflyer播放器的销售数据简报,就翻到了Fireflyer二代的发售方案上。 After the discussion, the Fireflyer2 final selling price has carried on raising. 经过讨论,Fireflyer2的最终销售价格还是进行了上调。 the selling price determination of 1 G capacity edition is 329 USD, this is Fireflyer sells the initial period actually facing the market scarce condition, the Firefly electron gives the retail merchant the definite maximum selling price. 1G容量版本的售价确定为329美元,这其实是Fireflyer发售初期面对市场紧俏状况,萤火虫电子给零售商确定的最高售价。 Although last year final several months, with increase of capacity, the selling price of Fireflyer player started the standard fixed prices to 299 USD to drop, but at this time, determined that brand-new Fireflyer two generations of selling prices are 329 USD, the people also believe this can obtain the approval of market with ease. 虽然去年的最后几个月,随着产能的增加,Fireflyer播放器的销售价格已经开始向299美元的标准定价回落,但此时,确定全新的Fireflyer二代售价为329美元,众人也都相信这可以轻松得到市场的认可。 the Fireflyer2 selling price of 2 G edition increased 50 USD based on 1 G edition, the determination is 379 USD. 2G版本的Fireflyer2售价在1G版本的基础上增加了50美元,确定为379美元。 Facing the irritable promoted aspect of Fireflyer player, the Firefly electron had not stopped the expansion capacity the step, it is expected that to April of this year, the Fireflyer two generations of moon/month capacities will enhance to the 2 million stage. Therefore, Fireflyer2 also issued in North America and Europe. 面对Fireflyer播放器的火爆推广局面,萤火虫电子一直都没有停止扩张产能的步伐,预计到今年四月份,Fireflyer二代的月产能将提高到200万台。因此,Fireflyer2也将在北美和欧洲同时发布。 The document turns finally, Eric saw the material that the determination named Nokia. M-100 Nokia music cell phone and Fireflyer2 simultaneously issue, looks at very passable two pages of papers, Eric smiled finally reluctantly, although has the irritability of Fireflyer player, but the Nokia management tenaciously does not favor the sales prospect of music cell phone as before. 文件翻到最后,艾瑞克才看到确定名为Nokia.M-100的诺基亚音乐手机与Fireflyer2同时发布的资料,看着最后很凑合的两页纸,艾瑞克无奈地笑了笑,虽然有着Fireflyer播放器的火爆,但诺基亚管理层依旧还是固执地不看好音乐手机的销售前景啊。 Similarly is the two models of cell phones of 1 G capacity and 2 G capacity, the Nokia finally definite price separately is 659 USD and 759 USD, this price looked like in Eric some are high. 同样是1G容量和2G容量的两款手机,诺基亚最后确定的价格分别是659美元和759美元,这个价格在艾瑞克看来还是有些偏高了。 Why Eric clear Nokia such will also do. 艾瑞克也清楚诺基亚为什么会这么做。 Model of brand-new electronic products, definitely need to develop the brand-new production line and supply chain, only then this model of product achieves certain moon/month sales volume, the production company can realize the balanced revenues and expenditures. The report that Nokia once gave is this model of music cell phone wants to realize the profit, according to the foundation fixed prices of 600 USD, the moon/month sales volume must in the 100,000 stage above. 一款全新的电子产品,肯定需要开拓全新的生产线和供应链,也只有这款产品达到一定的月销量,生产公司才能够实现收支平衡。诺基亚曾经给出的报告是这款音乐手机想要实现盈利,按照600美元的基础定价,月销量必须在10万台以上。 Now, raises the sales unit price, Nokia can also achieve the balanced revenues and expenditures as soon as possible. 600 USD above cell phones, in North America or Europe, absolutely is the high-end cell phone. The Nokia management estimated that also has that type ‚to be willing to spend 600 USD to buy the person of cell phone does not care about again multi- flowered 60 USD’ the thought that will make such decision-making. 现在,提高销售单价,诺基亚也可以尽快达到收支平衡点。600美元以上的手机,无论是在北美还是欧洲,都绝对属于高端手机。诺基亚管理层估计也产生那种‘肯花600美元买手机的人根本不在乎再多花60美元’的念头,才会做出这样的决策。 Because Eric has not informed to have anything to work in the afternoon related, «Gravity» other dramatic team members have not come. In the peaceful movie studio suddenly resounded sound of footsteps, Eric has then gained ground, saw that Carolyn was bringing Jodie Foster and another Caucasian middle age walked. 因为艾瑞克没有通知下午有什么相关工作,《地心引力》的其他剧组成员也就没有过来。安静的摄影棚内突然响起了脚步声,艾瑞克这才抬起头,看到卡洛琳带着朱迪・福斯特和另外一个白人中年走了过来。 Jodie Foster just stepped into this movie studio, already captured the attention by the giant lamphouses and that two high accuracy robots. 朱迪・福斯特刚刚踏进这间摄影棚,就已经被巨大的灯箱和那两台高精度机器人吸引住了目光。 Eric stands up, notes Jodie the Foster vision, explained: „If receives this work, at least three months, you could perform in this lamphouse, but must wear the sincere spacesuits. Therefore, Jodie, you may probably consider, is very tired.” 艾瑞克站起身,注意到朱迪・福斯特的目光,解释道:“如果接下这份工作,至少有三个月时间,你可能就要在这间灯箱里表演了,还要穿上厚重的宇航服。所以,朱迪,你可要好好考虑一下,很累的。” Eric was saying, before arriving at control desk, turns on the power sources of several instruments. Several months, he can operate these instruments skilled. 艾瑞克说着,走到操作台前,打开几台仪器的电源。几个月时间,他已经能够熟练地操作这些仪器。 In the lamphouse has shone quickly, two robots have also made the slight sound, as if in automatic debugging. 灯箱内很快亮了起来,两台机器人也发出了轻微的声响,似乎是在自动调试。 Jodie Foster looks that Eric takes up one to control remotely PDA, was operating a mechanical arm movement skilled several, showed the smiling face, said: „Eric, do you want to run away in fear me?” 朱迪・福斯特看着艾瑞克拿起一台遥控PDA,熟练地操纵着一台机械臂运动了几下,也露出笑容,道:“艾瑞克,你这是想要把我吓跑吗？” „Oh,” Eric does not certainly shake the head, responded that put down PDA in hand with a smile, ‚from the beginning started’ toward Jodie Foster put out a hand saying: „Good afternoon, Miss Foster.” “哦,当然不,”艾瑞克摇头,反应过来,笑着又放下手中的PDA,‘从头开始’朝朱迪・福斯特伸手道:“下午好,福斯特小姐。” „Hello, Mr. Williams,” Jodie the happy expression on Foster face becomes thicker, has grasped with Eric, said: „You can call me Jodie.” “你好,威廉姆斯先生,”朱迪・福斯特脸上的笑意变得更浓,与艾瑞克握了下,道:“你可以叫我朱迪。” Eric is smiling the nod: „You can also call me Eric.” 艾瑞克微笑着点头:“你也可以叫我艾瑞克。” Stands in Jodie Foster nearby middle-aged person represses laughter to put out a hand toward Eric, said: „Hello, Mr. Williams, I am Jodie manager, Joy Funiciello.” 站在朱迪・福斯特旁边的中年人忍着笑朝艾瑞克伸出手,道:“你好,威廉姆斯先生,我是朱迪的经纪人,乔伊・富尼切洛。” Eric and middle-aged person have grasped starting, has hinted toward Carolyn, said: „This is my assistant, Carolyn Will.” 艾瑞克与中年人握了下手,朝身旁的卡洛琳示意了下,道:“这是我的助理,卡洛琳・威尔逊。” Carolyn blinks, felt that just situation was strange, with Jodie Foster they have grasped starting simply, gave a pretext to several people flees to the wilderness to the coffee. 卡洛琳眨着眼睛,感觉刚刚的情形古怪极了,和朱迪・福斯特两人简单握了下手,就借口给几人冲咖啡落荒而逃。
