A Christina such reminder, Eric actually remembered itself really to have this idea, but, he does not have the energy to pay attention to these matters now. 克里斯蒂娜这么一提醒,艾瑞克倒是想起自己曾经确实有过这种想法,不过,他现在也没有精力去关注这些事情。 They were chatting in a low voice, staff reminded Eric, started only the remaining five minutes from the release conference, he has been able to enter the arena ahead of time. 两人正低声聊着,一位工作人员过来提醒艾瑞克,距离发布会开始只剩下五分钟,他已经可以提前进场。 Eric complies with one, stood up to plan to enter the release conference hall, Christina has also stood, followed blindly side him, asked: „Will Eric, you also return to Los Angeles today?” 艾瑞克答应一声,站起身打算进入发布会大厅,克里斯蒂娜也站了起来,亦步亦趋地跟在他身边,问道:“艾瑞克,你今天还会回洛杉矶吗？” „, I will not fly tomorrow directly east the California this lofty one loose town, tonight will live in an evening in San Francisco,” Eric shakes the head, said to the girl: „Under returns to the dwelling with me together.” “不会啊,我明天直接飞去加州东边的孤松镇,今晚会在旧金山住一晚,”艾瑞克摇头,又对女孩道:“等下跟我一起回住处。” Christina reveals light charming, although after she plans the release conference to finish, returned to Los Angeles, but Eric said that the girl has not refuted slightly, nods very much cleverly. 克里斯蒂娜露出淡淡的娇羞,虽然她原本计划发布会结束之后就回洛杉矶的,但艾瑞克这么说,女孩丝毫没有反驳,很乖巧地点点头。 Enters the release conference hall, they separate move toward their position respectively. 走进发布会大厅,两人就分开各自走向自己的位置。 At exactly 2 : 00 pm, CEO Victor Maikenai of Firefly electron takes the stage with smile on the face, after simple speech, announced that the release conference formally starts. 下午两点整,萤火虫电子的ceo维克多・麦克奈利面带微笑地走上舞台,简单致辞后,就宣布发布会正式开始。 Afterward, Firefly electron Chairman Bill Olsson comes to power, starts to review after last year issued, a series of sales progress that the firelyer player makes. 随后,萤火虫电子总裁比尔・奥尔森上台,开始回顾自去年发布之后,firelyer播放器取得的一系列销售成绩。 When on the big silver screen presents the firelyer first generation the total quantity of delivery data, under the guest as well as the media reporter including the stage, has sent out one humming sound the discussion sound. 当大银幕上出现firelyer第一代的总出货量数据时,包括台下宾客以及媒体记者,都发出了一阵嗡嗡的议论声。 the firelyer first generation player suspends production in early March gradually, various scale production lines of Firefly electron start are firelye prepare goods. Till the production suspension, the firelyer first generation MP3 player total quantity of delivery achieves the 8 million stage. firelyer第一代播放器在三月上旬逐渐停产,萤火虫电子的各大生产线开始为firelye进行备货。截止停产,firelyer第一代mp3播放器总出货量达到800万台。 Reason that this data will cause under stage people's discussion, is information that because issues according to the Firefly electron at the beginning of the year, last year whole year, firelyer first generation quantity of delivery also 3 950,000. 这个数据之所以会引起台下众人的议论,是因为根据萤火虫电子年初发布的信息,去年全年,firelyer第一代的出货量也才395万。 But this year is only in the first quarter, even, but also less than quarter time, the quantities of delivery of firelyer player 40 50,000 stages have exceeded last year whole year, these no doubt had the firelyer player capacity to receive the reason that various aspects limited last year, but this fearful sales data rate of increment, made all people exclaim in surprise. 而今年只是第一季度,甚至,还不到一个季度时间,firelyer播放器405万台的出货量就超过了去年全年,这其中固然有去年firelyer播放器产能一直受到各方面限制的缘故,但这种可怕的销售数据增长率,还是让所有人为之惊叹。 According to this group of producing goods data, the Firefly electron the quantity of delivery of whole year, will surpass the 20 million stage this year absolutely with ease. 按照这组出货数据,萤火虫电子今年全年的出货量,绝对会轻松超过2000万台。 At present, the North America portable music player market is about the 30 million stage, the global portable player market absorption capacity is also only the 80 million stage. Very obviously, but issued that two years, the firelyer player will achieve 25% in the share of global portable music player market. 目前,北美的便携式音乐播放器市场为3000万台左右,全球的便携式播放器市场容量也只有8000万台。很显然,只是发布两年时间,firelyer播放器在全球便携式音乐播放器市场的份额就将达到25%。 What is more important, develops according to this trend, the firelyer player will be doomed to create a fundamental transformation to the portable music player market. 更重要的是,按照这种趋势发展下去,firelyer播放器注定会对便携式音乐播放器市场造成一场根本性的变革。 Is listening to the stage, Bill Olsson continues to demonstrate the emergence of firelyer player to the usb connection, cd optical disk drive, online payment and other software and hardware industry of the promoted functions, under the stage the people, especially the media reporter, in the mind has had the series of question. 听着舞台上,比尔・奥尔森继续展示着firelyer播放器的出现对usb接口、cd光驱、在线支付等软硬件产业的推广作用,台下众人,特别是媒体记者,脑海里已经冒出了一连串问题。 Has the Firefly electron dominated the complete set patent of MP3 player? 萤火虫电子是否会一直把持mp3播放器的全套专利？ How may the Firefly electron deal with the monopoly issue that faces? 萤火虫电子将如何应对可能面临的垄断问题？ The Firefly electron considered that the firelyer player to the impact that the traditional phonograph record profession does have? 萤火虫电子是否考虑到firelyer播放器对传统唱片行业造成的冲击？ And so on. 等等等等。 However, according to news that before obtained, this release conference has not arranged the media inquiry link. 不过,根据之前得到的消息,这场发布会并没有安排媒体提问环节。 Considers these, some reporters in field while Bill Olsson spoke, performed the honored guest back street boy to combine to come to power to sing the new song the gap, started to contact with own boss through the cell phone, tries to obtain interviews the Firefly electron high-level opportunity in secret directly. 考虑到这些,场内的一些记者趁着比尔・奥尔森发言完毕,表演嘉宾后街男孩组合上台演唱新歌的间隙,开始通过手机与自己的上司联系,试图获得私下里直接采访萤火虫电子高层的机会。 The following several links, Victor Maikenai as well as Yahoo, Nokia several management, came to power to demonstrate one after another second-generation firelyer player and most update Yahoo music box software and Nokia m-100 music cell phone and other products, mixed with the form that several were performing the honored guest in this period as before. 接下来的几个环节,维克多・麦克奈利以及雅虎、诺基亚的几位高管,陆续上台展示了第二代firelyer播放器、最新版雅虎音乐盒子软件、诺基亚m-100音乐手机等产品,期间依旧夹杂着几位表演嘉宾的身影。 After two hours, Victor Maikenai and Nokia Vice Chairman mounts the stage once more, announced most receives the fixed price information of several models of products pays attention, this release conference announced ended. 两个小时后,维克多・麦克奈利和诺基亚的一位副总裁再次登台,公布了最受关注的几款产品的定价信息,这场发布会才宣告结束。 The release conference ended, treats with courtesy the heavyweight guest who some needs meet face to face personally, Eric wants to return to him in Palo Alto Atherton's dwelling, was actually drawn by Victor Maikenai and the others to Firefly electron Headquarters. 发布会结束,应酬完一些需要亲自打照面的重量级宾客,艾瑞克本想回他在帕罗奥图阿瑟顿的住处,却被维克多・麦克奈利等人拉到萤火虫电子总部。 In a Firefly electron Headquarters small conference room, when the secretary carries the coffee to several people, Victor Maikenai said: „Eric, did you pay attention to the Microsoft counter- ridge to settle a lawsuit recently?” 萤火虫电子总部的一间小会议室里,待秘书给几人端上咖啡,维克多・麦克奈利道:“艾瑞克,你最近关注微软的反垄断案了吗？” For these years on the media had almost not broken the information about Microsoft bitter experience anti- monopoly investigation, the time had grown, so long as did not involve the own interests, no one will go to pay attention to this matter again specially. 这几年媒体上几乎都没有断过关于微软遭遇反垄断调查的信息,时间长了,只要不涉及到切身利益,谁也不会再去特意关注这件事。 Eric shakes the head truthfully, he definitely does not have the thoughts to pay attention to these these days. 艾瑞克如实摇头,他这段时间肯定是没心思关注这些的。 Victor Maikenai does not beat around the bush, briefs the current situation directly: „Federal Ministry of Justice last week the bundle sale behaviors proposed the indictment the windows operating system and video player and o Internet Explorer and other software to Microsoft, investigates the item also possibly to involve Yahoo Browser that Yahoo and Microsoft cooperate, because the edition and function of Yahoo Browser in Windows system always first in other operating systems, Ministry of Justice expressed that this behavior constituted the unfair competition.” 维克多・麦克奈利也不绕弯子,直接介绍起了目前的情况:“联邦司法部上周对微软将视窗操作系统与视频播放器、oie等软件的捆绑销售行为提出了指控,调查事项还可能涉及到雅虎与微软合作的雅虎浏览器,因为雅虎浏览器在windos系统上的版本和功能总是优先于其他操作系统,司法部表示这种行为已经构成了不正当竞争。” Actually, the Microsoft monopoly practice more than ties up sales software, other also include with the PC manufacturer sign the exclusive agreement, pushes aside other operating systems \; Forcibly promotes the Microsoft operating system as well as the software with the sales commission way \; Forms the benefit alliance with the intel and other hardware manufacturers, pushes aside the competitor together wait/etc.. 其实,微软的垄断行为远不止捆绑销售软件这一条,其他还包括与pc厂商签署排他性协议,排挤其他操作系统\;采用回扣方式强行推广微软的操作系统以及软件\;与intel等硬件厂商形成利益联盟,共同排挤竞争对手等等。 These behaviors are actually more serious than bundle sale software, but Microsoft was times hides, most also paid some fines. Has formed the operating system of natural monopoly as one, no one has the means of what completely solving these problems. 这些行为其实比捆绑销售软件还要严重,但微软还是一次次躲过去了,最多也只是缴纳一些罚款。作为一款已经形成自然垄断的操作系统,谁也没有什么彻底解决这些问题的办法。 Therefore, regarding, about Yahoo Browser possible bitter experience the investigation item that Victor Maikenai said that Eric had not been worried that Chris and Yahoo management has not even informed this matter, obviously, they were not worried. 因此,对于维克多・麦克奈利所说的,关于雅虎浏览器可能遭遇的调查事项,艾瑞克更是一点也没有担心,克里斯和雅虎管理层甚至都没有告知他这件事,显然,他们也丝毫不担心。 Initially when reached the cooperation agreement, both sides on have thought the excuse in this aspect ahead of time: This is the producer research and development progress issue, Yahoo any duty simultaneously has not provided the most new product for all operation system platforms, can only favor market share higher these. 当初在达成合作协议的时候,双方就已经提前想好了这方面的借口:这属于产品研发进度问题,雅虎没有任何义务为所有操作系统平台同时提供最新产品,只能倾向于市场占有率更高的那些。 Shook the head with a smile, Eric looked at Victor Maikenai several people, said: „Everybody definitely knows that this matter could not produce anything to affect to us. Therefore, said your ideas directly?” 笑着摇了摇头,艾瑞克看了看维克多・麦克奈利几人,道:“大家肯定都知道,这件事对我们产生不了什么影响。所以,还是直接说说你们的想法吧？” Victor Maikenai was exposed them by Eric ‚harboring ulterior motives’, somewhat is small awkwardly, Bill Olsson has then saying: „Is this, Eric, you think not to have, if the yos migration operating system will be issued by Yahoo in the future that simultaneously they will issue various types of motion end application software, then, when the time comes, Yahoo definitely also will face compared with the present Microsoft more serious software bundle monopoly issue.” 维克多・麦克奈利被艾瑞克点破他们‘别有用心’,到底还是有些小尴尬,比尔・奥尔森只好接着道:“是这样的,艾瑞克,你想过没有,如果将来yos移动操作系统由雅虎发布,同时他们又会发布各种移动端应用软件,那么,到时候,雅虎肯定也会面临比现在微软更加严重的软件捆绑垄断问题。” Eric understands immediately: „It seems like, do you want to take carry back the right of exploitation of this operating system?” 艾瑞克立刻明白过来:“看来,你们还是想把这款操作系统的开发权拿回来？” Bill Olsson nods: „Eric, we thought that this helps the research and development of tablet PC product.” 比尔・奥尔森点点头:“艾瑞克,我们都觉得这样才更加利于平板电脑产品的研发。” „This project is personally has been responsible for by Steve, the essence of system is personally compiles by him, therefore, you do have to consider, changes to the Firefly electron this project, can the following system design work replace him to be completed by whom?” “这个项目一直都是由史蒂夫亲自负责的,系统的内核都是由他亲自编写,所以,你们有没有考虑过,把这个项目转到萤火虫电子这边,接下来的系统研发工作由谁能接替他来完成？” Bill Olsson realized that Eric as if too did not oppose this matter, has looked at each other one with Victor Maikenai, said: „Eric, we think that like this, this project changes over to the Firefly electron, the technical adviser who Steve can hold the post of this operating system as before, as for the actual operation of project, you must know that Silicon Valley most does not lack, is the technician in software, we looked for several appropriate heads through the head-hunting company.” 比尔・奥尔森意识到艾瑞克似乎并不是太反对这件事,与维克多・麦克奈利对视了一眼,道:“艾瑞克,我们是这样想的,这个项目转入萤火虫电子,史蒂夫依旧可以担任这款操作系统的技术顾问,至于项目的实际操作,你要知道,硅谷最不缺的,就是软件方面的技术人才,我们已经通过猎头公司物色了几个合适的负责人。” Eric knocked the meeting table tabletop to consider a while with the finger, said: „Good, if you can convince that side Yahoo, turns around this project, is not.” 艾瑞克拿手指敲着会议桌桌面考虑了一会儿,道:“好吧,如果你们能够说服雅虎那边,将这个项目转过来,也不是不可以。” Sees Eric to nod, Victor Maikenai and Bill Olsson shows the smiling face, Bill Olsson said: „Eric, actually, Yahoo does not want this project.” 看到艾瑞克点头,维克多・麦克奈利和比尔・奥尔森都露出笑容,比尔・奥尔森道:“艾瑞克,其实,雅虎也并不是太想要这个项目。” The Eric doubts said: „Why?” 艾瑞克疑惑道:“为什么？” „This project last year development budget has surpassed 30 million USD, in the next few years will be only higher, but wants to have the profit, actually does not know when must wait till. Once Yahoo goes on the market, this type will only consume the fund actually not to have the project of profit, definitely seriously will implicate the Yahoo stock price.” “这个项目去年的开发预算就超过了3000万美元,未来几年只会更高,但想要产生利润,却是不知道要等到什么时候。一旦雅虎上市,这种只消耗资金却不会产生盈利的项目,肯定会严重拖累雅虎股价。” The Yahoo present scale has not achieved for more than ten years later Google that powerful and firmly based, even if Google various forward-looking innovative programs, once received criticizing of investor, the Google high level has to be forced to cut the budget in this aspect. Present Yahoo, tens of millions USD extraneous expenses, are truly easier to encounter the accusation in this aspect every year. 雅虎现在的规模远没有达到十多年后谷歌的那种树大根深,即使是谷歌的各种前瞻性创新项目,也一度受到投资人的攻讦,谷歌高层不得不被迫削减这方面的预算。现在的雅虎,每年数千万美元的额外支出,确实更容易遭到这方面的指责。 In the past Steve Jobs was pushed aside Apple Board of Directors, the main reason, is Jobs adheres stubbornly to own opinions researches and develops the product that Board of Directors did not favor. Because many business tycoons the product cannot follow time to decline, every so often, is not the enterprise lacks the visionary talented person, but these talented people are not usually able with pay great attention to the momentary interests of the day the capital to contend. 当年史蒂夫・乔布斯被排挤出苹果董事会,最主要的原因,就是乔布斯固执己见地研发董事会非常不看好的产品。很多企业巨头因为产品跟不上时代而衰落,很多时候,也并不是企业内部缺乏富有远见的人才,只是这些人才通常都无法与更加注重眼前利益的资本相抗衡。 Even if Yahoo goes on the market, absolute control power in fact also still in the Eric hand. However, since enters the capital market, Eric is impossible to act willfully stirs up the seething discontent among the people, every so often must adapt to the game rule. 雅虎即使上市,绝对控制权实际上也依然会在艾瑞克手中。不过,既然进入资本市场,艾瑞克也不可能太一意孤行以至于惹得天怒人怨,很多时候还是必须适应游戏规则。 Thinks through these, Eric also no longer insisted. 想通这些,艾瑞克也更加不再坚持。 Will move the operating system to place completely private Firefly Electronic Co. also to be as if better. 将移动操作系统放在完全私有的萤火虫电子公司似乎也更好一些。 San Francisco Palo Alto, Eric situated in the mansion in Atherton rich person area. 旧金山帕罗奥图市,艾瑞克位于阿瑟顿富人区的豪宅里。 The time is in the evening. 时间已经是傍晚。 Drew in the bedroom to dress up Carolyn forcefully, looks that at present binds in one set of pale pink movement coverall is similar to the foreign-style doll common girl, Melanie nods satisfied, said: „Then, I do not believe some lolicon not to swallow the bait.” 强行把卡洛琳拖进卧室里打扮了一番,看着眼前裹在一套淡粉色运动套装里如同洋娃娃一般的女孩,梅兰妮非常满意地点点头,道:“这下,我就不信某个萝莉控不上钩。” The Carolyn complexion is crimson, weak say|way: „Eric is not lolicon.” 卡洛琳脸色绯红,弱弱道:“艾瑞克才不是萝莉控。” „Oh, you said that anything is anything, walks, we prepare the supper, he said tonight will come back to eat.” “嗯嗯嗯,你说什么就是什么,走吧,我们去准备晚餐,他说了今晚会回来吃的。” Carolyn steps on the small step to follow disturbedly in Melanie behind, thinks that said: „Plum, can you, be able to exit tonight?” 卡洛琳踩着小步子忐忑地跟在梅兰妮身后,想了想,道:“梅,你今晚能不能,能不能出去住啊？” „Naturally, I have telephoned in a San Francisco old schoolmate with me,” Melanie nods refreshedly, looks that the Carolyn expression starts to relax, immediately also then said: „But, thinks carefully that I gave up this thought that” put out a hand to pinch the Carolyn tender and delicate cheek, Melanie said with a smile: „I thought that if I hide, you have 200% may flinch on own initiative, lets go the tonight's opportunity.” “当然可以,我已经和我在旧金山的一个老同学打过电话了,”梅兰妮爽快地点点头,看着卡洛琳表情开始放松,立刻又转而道:“不过,仔细想想,我还是放弃了这个念头,”伸手捏了把卡洛琳娇嫩的脸蛋,梅兰妮笑道:“我觉得,如果我躲出去,你有200的可能会主动退缩,放弃今晚的机会。” Carolyn does not have to refute self-confidently: „I, I cannot.” 卡洛琳丝毫没有自信地反驳道:“我,我才不会呢。” „In any case, I look tonight your, if you sneak away at a critical juncture, I removed completely up you, lost to his room.” “反正,我今晚是会看着你的,如果你临阵脱逃,我就把你脱光光了,丢到他房间去。” Carolyn blinked, thinks that scene of Melanie description, the cheek was also immediately red. 卡洛琳眨了眨眼睛,想到梅兰妮描绘的场景,脸蛋顿时又红了起来。 Two females just had bustled about in the kitchen a while, in the courtyard has resounded the sound of vehicle. 两女刚刚在厨房忙碌了一会儿,院子里就响起了车子的声音。 Looks that Carolyn almost throws a carrot in hand, Melanie is helpless, puts down the kitchen knife, said: „Walks, we greet Boss to go home together.” 看着卡洛琳差点把手中的一根胡萝卜丢出去,梅兰妮无奈,放下菜刀,道:“走吧,我们一起去迎接波ss回家。” Just went out of the kitchen, two females noticed that Eric and Christina chatted are passing through the gate together, Christina was the timid young girl or child who inspires tenderness pulls the arm of Eric very much, the girl is seeing Melanie and Carolyn, the politeness greeted very much: „Plum, hello.” 刚刚走出厨房,两女就看到艾瑞克与克里斯蒂娜说笑着一起进门,克里斯蒂娜很是小鸟依人地挽着艾瑞克的手臂,女孩看到梅兰妮和卡洛琳,很礼貌地打招呼道:“梅,卡莉,你们好。” Melanie was resigned-looking, definitely is hopeless tonight. 梅兰妮一脸无奈,今晚肯定又没戏了。 In the Carolyn pupil is to flash through first wipes disappointedly, feels relieved quickly, the politeness responded: „Hello, Christy.” 卡洛琳眸子里先是闪过一抹失望,很快又如释重负,礼貌地回应道:“你好,克里斯蒂。” Eric also nods to two females, looked that they come out from the kitchen, said: „You continue busily, I take a bath first.” 艾瑞克也对两女点点头,看她们从厨房出来,道:“你们继续忙吧,我先去洗个澡。” Was saying, seeing Christina must let loose itself, the Eric gathering girl ear said sentence anything, Christina shrank the neck charmingly, looked at Melanie they, walks toward the building in Eric together. 这么说着,见克里斯蒂娜要放开自己,艾瑞克凑到女孩耳边说了句什么,克里斯蒂娜娇羞地缩了缩脖子,看了眼梅兰妮两人,还是跟着艾瑞克一起朝楼上走去。 Just stepped onto the staircase, Eric remembers anything, turned head to say to Melanie: „Plum, helping me prepare one clothes, took a bath I to change clothes, leisure some.” 刚刚走上楼梯,艾瑞克又想起什么,扭头对梅兰妮道:“梅,帮我准备一套衣服好吗,洗完澡我想换套衣服,休闲一些的。” „Good, Boss,” Melanie nods with a smile, waits for the Eric form to vanish, Melanie seeks vengeance saying: „Good good, I am the maid life.” “好的,老板,”梅兰妮含笑点头,等艾瑞克身影消失,梅兰妮才又报怨道:“好吧好吧,我就是女仆的命。” Carolyn said immediately: „Plum, or I go.” 卡洛琳立刻道:“梅,要不我去吧。” „consider as finished, I do not want to be worn the small shoes by Boss,” Melanie sighed, looked at Carolyn, said: „Then, tonight has been hopeless, but, hasn't he thought the Christina age?” “算了,我可不想被老板穿小鞋,”梅兰妮叹了口气,看了看身旁的卡洛琳,道:“这下,今晚又没戏了,不过,难道他就没有想过克里斯蒂娜的年龄吗？” Carolyn looked at a stairway, said: „Eric, um, in any case, she is voluntary.” 卡洛琳看了眼楼梯口,顿了下,道:“艾瑞克,嗯,反正,她是自愿的呢。” Melanie curled the lip, said: „I thought that even if Boss killed people, you also can definitely find the reason for him.” 梅兰妮撇了撇嘴,道:“我觉得,就算老板杀了人,你也肯定能替他找到理由的。” Carolyn refuted seriously: „Eric will not kill people.” 卡洛琳一本正经地反驳道:“艾瑞克才不会杀人。” „I meant, if, if?” “我是说,如果,如果呢？” Carolyn wrinkled the small nose, slow of speech say|way: „That, that also definitely well-founded.” 卡洛琳皱了皱小鼻子,讷讷道:“那,那也肯定是有理由的。” Melanie makes my just knows immediately is this helpless appearance, has patted the forehead, said: „consider as finished, I give Boss to prepare the clothes, but, we then could stay a half month of Oh in the this lofty one loose town, ahem, I do not believe when the time comes to be able not to have the opportunity to fill on his bed your this small girl.” 梅兰妮顿时做出一副我就知道是这样的无奈模样,拍了拍额头,道:“算了,我去给老板准备衣服,不过,我们接下来可能要在孤松镇呆半个多月哦,哼哼,我就不信到时候会没机会把你这小妮子塞到他床上。”
