Alessandra spits the trough spookily: „She does can eat?” 换着高跟鞋,乜了一眼厨房里的身影,吉赛尔不由撇撇嘴,这种情况还真是罕见。亚历山大更是幽幽吐槽:“她做的能吃吗？” „Hi, you came back,” hears the sound in living room, Miranda has turned the head, warmly and two girls greeted. “嗨,你们回来了,”听到客厅里的动静,米兰达转过头,热情地和两个女孩打招呼。 Two female not salty did not respond to one pale, Miranda did not mind that has turned the head to continue busily. 两女不咸不淡地回应了一声,米兰达也不介意,转过头继续忙碌。 Today Eric must come, she decides displays well, strives to move Eric to make her return to Los Angeles to go. 今天艾瑞克要过来,她打定主意好好表现一下,争取打动艾瑞克让她回洛杉矶去。 In March was caught up with New York by Eric, Miranda is the full small mood, she already does not want with Gisele as well as Alessandra stays together, does not want by Eric request Cindy Crawford looks like the child. 三月份被艾瑞克赶来纽约,米兰达本是满满的小情绪,她既不想和吉赛尔以及亚历山大住在一起,也不想被艾瑞克委托的辛迪・克劳馥像小孩一样看着。 However, afterward, although clearly knows that possibly is Cindy or Eric intentionally, she was frightened. 不过,随后,虽然明知道可能是辛迪或者艾瑞克故意的,她还是被吓到了。 Miranda is not willing lives together with Gisele as well as Alessandra, Cindy then temporarily makes her live in own apartment, quite looks after to her. 米兰达不愿意和吉赛尔以及亚历山大同住,辛迪便临时让她住在了自己的公寓,对她也颇为照顾。 However, since wants, when professional model, cannot say. 但是,既然要当模特,总不能说说啊。 Therefore Cindy leads her to go to Elite professional model Brokerage Firm to enter the interview, with by the Elite talent scout dozens girls who collects from North America together. 于是辛迪带她去Elite模特经纪公司参加面试,和被Elite星探从北美各地搜罗来的几十个女孩一起。 Because is Cindy leads her to go personally, at the interview scene, notes that dozens girls like looking at the queen looks at Cindy, she also feels quite happily, oneself later definitely can also achieve the Cindy status with ease. 由于是辛迪亲自带她去的,在面试现场,注意到那几十个女孩像看女王一样看辛迪,她心里还感觉颇为得意,自己以后肯定也能轻松达到辛迪的地位。 Possibly is the Cindy reason, waits for in the process, many girls intentionally said something to smooth things over with her, some people also recognized her are «Casino Royale» one of four tennis girls, but also has made an appearance in Disney Channel TV series, therefore asked why she can enter the professional model interview of Elite. 可能是辛迪的缘故,等待过程中,不少女孩都故意和她搭讪,有人还认出她就是《007之皇家赌场》里的四个网球女孩之一,还在迪斯尼频道的电视剧里露过面,于是问她为什么会来参加Elite的模特面试。 Miranda was naturally impossible to say one were because provoked Eric to be caught up with New York, therefore the proud place expressed very much one were not interested in the performance, wants to try professional model this occupation. 米兰达自然不可能说自己是因为惹恼了艾瑞克被赶来纽约的,于是很傲娇地表示自己对表演不感兴趣,想要试试模特这个职业。 Then she felt that some girls like looking at the idiot visit her, a girl said half jokingly sentence ‚I only had also heard does everything possible to go, when Actor professional model’. 然后她就感觉一些女孩像看白痴一样看着她,还有一个女孩半开玩笑地说了句‘我还只听说过想方设法要去当演员的模特呢’。 Miranda knows certainly truth, on the face has not actually been able to display, in the heart the nature is depressed. 米兰达当然知道其中的道理,脸上却还不能表现出来,心中自然郁闷。 Photographed the cat walk stubborn modeling to toss about for quite a while with one group of girls, ultimately she obtained some ‚specially’ treatment, participated in the interview Elite Manager explaining to her personally to her interview result: The height is somewhat low, the cheek does not have stereoscopic effect, cat walk is ordinary, has not experienced the job training, the overall intelligence does not have the high street ( High-Fashion ) professional model potential completely, can only take the pure commercial professional model route. 和一群女孩一起拍照走台步拗造型折腾了大半天,最终她还是得到了一些‘特殊’待遇,参与面试的Elite经理亲自给她讲解了对她的面试结果:身高偏低,脸蛋没有立体感,台步普通,没有经历过职业培训,整体资质完全不具备高街（High-Fashion）模特潜质,只能走纯商业模特路线。 Before Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show appears, professional model, you want to achieve the rank of supermodel, must first be able to obtain Pradha, Tiffany, the approvals of Chanel these tall Jie fashionable brand, only then achieves the cooperation with these brands, enhanced own style, you can further obtain the approval of fashionable circle, supermodel status that and arrives at step by step hound. 在维密大秀出现之前,一个模特,你想要达到超模的级别,首先就必须能够获得普拉达、蒂凡尼、香奈儿这些高街时尚品牌的认可,只有与这些品牌达成合作,提高了自身的格调,你才能进一步获得时尚圈的认可,并一步步走到受人追捧的超级名模地位。 However, the appearance height intelligence of Miranda, basically fashionable misses with tall Jie. 但是,米兰达的外貌身高资质,基本上与高街时尚无缘。 This means that without any background opportunity, Miranda this whole life is impossible becomes supermodel model, can only make ordinary commercial professional model, actually is also that clothing demonstration, the plane advertisement and car(riage) exhibitor develops wait/etc. anything to do, but basically does not have of any raising one's head opportunity. Naturally, commercial professional model is not cannot achieve the pinnacle, Cindy one. Moreover, in original space and time, although has been separated by for 20 years, but, the superior path in Cindy and Miranda, is almost exactly the same. 这意味着,在没有任何背景机遇的情况下,米兰达这辈子都不可能成为一个超模名模,只能做一个普通的商业模特,其实也就是那种服装展示、平面广告、车展商演等等什么都可以做但基本上没什么出头机会的那种。当然,商业模特也不是不能做到极致,辛迪就算一个。而且,原时空中,虽然相隔了20年时间,但,辛迪和米兰达的上位轨迹,几乎一模一样。 Considering the situation in Miranda, Elite can only be similar to her to the training contract of intern, the company provides the lodging, every month 1000 USD regular salaries, sign the later Miranda to have regular training of Elite as well as complete the work that the company provides. 鉴于米兰达的情况,Elite只能给她一份类似于实习生的培训合约,公司提供住宿,每月1000美元固定薪水,签约之后米兰达必须接受Elite的定期培训以及完成公司提供的工作。 Miranda was angry at that time, realized that this possibly is Cindy or Eric intentionally, the girl also lived a reverse psychology. 米兰达当时就更生气了,意识到这可能是辛迪或者艾瑞克故意的,女孩还生起了一股逆反心理。 Good, you said what kind, that is what kind. 好啊,你们说怎么样,那就怎样。 Signed in that contract refreshedly, then, Cindy led her to transfer to own future possibly work place with Elite manager, for example, stood is a day of auto show, every day changed dozens clothes to toss about to the trial clothes scene that the tears rushed, in new season «Project Runway» that recorded the photograph puppet by the living specimen stage prop that same oscillated...... 爽快地在那份合约上签了字,然后,辛迪和Elite的一位经纪人就带着她到自己将来可能工作的地方转了一圈,比如,一站就是一天的车展,每天换几十套衣服折腾到泪奔的试衣现场,正在录制的新一季《天桥骄子》中被人像玩偶一样摆来摆去的活体道具…… In the evening, when Cindy and Elite that manager brings Miranda to arrive at the Manhattan Xi Village area, saw one girl will not live she will be worse than many with another seven looks in a less than 60 square meters obsolete small apartment together, Miranda collapsed finally. 傍晚时,当辛迪和Elite的那个经纪人带着米兰达来到曼哈顿西村区,看到自己将和另外七个相貌并不比她差多少的女孩一起住在一栋不到60平米的老旧小公寓时,米兰达终于崩溃了。 Was brought back to the home to sleep by Cindy, next day gets up, Miranda had not mentioned that again the matter of Elite work, Cindy has not raised again, probably yesterday any matter doesn’t have had occurred. 被辛迪带回家睡了一觉,第二天起来,米兰达一句也没有再提到Elite工作的事情,辛迪也没有再提,好像昨天什么事情都没有发生过。 Has the breakfast, Cindy brings IMG professional model Brokerage Firm that Miranda went to her to be, put out already prepared the good contract, has registered under the girl own same manager name. Then helped her move to Gisele and Alessandra apartment. 吃过早餐,辛迪就带米兰达去了她所在的IMG模特经纪公司,拿出早已准备好的合约,将女孩签到了自己的同一个经纪人名下。然后又帮她搬到了吉赛尔和亚历山大的公寓。 Due to the age limit, Miranda cannot obtain too the work now, these months, Cindy also completely not her, when the child treats, leads her frequently in the side, listened, looked, Miranda even more thought that initially in the restroom of waiting interview, these girls looked at her look is really too right, if possible, she wants to come to see itself with the look of idiot. 由于年龄限制,米兰达现在并不能得到太多工作,这几个月来,辛迪也完全不把她当小孩子对待,经常把她带在身边,听多了,看多了,米兰达就越发觉得,当初在等待面试的休息室里,那些女孩看她的眼神真是太对了,如果可能的话,她自己都想用白痴的眼神来看自己。 Therefore, hears Eric to come from Cindy there today, the girl the summit hurried back to the apartment immediately, wants to flatter Eric well, oneself quite return to Los Angeles. In any case, she now, when professional model was an interest does not have. 因此,从辛迪那里听到艾瑞克今天会过来,女孩立刻颠颠地赶回了公寓,想要好好讨好一番艾瑞克,自己好回洛杉矶。反正,她现在对当模特是一点兴趣都没有了。 Has rested for one week in Eath Hampton, arrives at Manhattan, Eric first faces is the internal human affairs issue of ABC group. 在东汉普顿休息了一周,来到曼哈顿,艾瑞克首先面临的就是ABC集团的内部人事问题。 This time issue fights and lays off in and so on does not relate, but is also quite thorny. Because recent the ABC group is getting more and more formidable, naturally also started to have the management of company to the ABC group to have the interest, after all, Eric can show the innumerable excellent creativities, but if did not have the splendid management team to carry out, such swift and violent of Firefly Group impossible development. 这次的问题与内斗、裁员之类毫无关系,但也颇为棘手。由于最近几年ABC集团越来越强大,自然也开始有公司对ABC集团的管理层产生了兴趣,毕竟,艾瑞克就算能够拿出无数绝妙的创意,但如果没有出色的管理团队去执行,萤火虫集团也不可能发展的如此迅猛。 To skid the side of corner is Comcast, the object is ESPN TV Station CEO Steve Bourne Stan. 想要撬墙角的一方是康卡斯特,对象是ESPN电视台的CEO史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦。 Initially after the United States rugby alliance has signed 9 billion USD large amount broadcasting right contracts, the ESPN state of operation slightly is implicated, instead was getting more and more hot, was divided into as well as increase of advertizing revenue along with the cable TV, this year is only ESPN TV Station, will provide to exceed the 500 million USD net profit for the entire group. 当初与美国橄榄球联盟签署了90亿美元巨额转播权合约后,ESPN的经营状况丝毫没有受到拖累,反而越来越火,随着有线电视分成以及广告收入的增加,今年只是ESPN电视台,就将为整个集团提供超过5亿美元的净利润。 Controls ESPN TV Station this for more than 10 years, Steve the Bourne Stan can say that once small TV Station of 300,000 user achieved the present user to surpass the 90 million North America first big foundation wired stage this. 掌控ESPN电视台这十多年来,史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦可以说一手将这家曾经只有不到30万用户的小电视台做到了现在用户超过9000万的北美第一大基础有线台。 In any company, makes the so splendid result, obtains to be promoted must. Eric not whatever the talented person in company like this drains. 在任何一家公司,做出如此出色的成绩,获得升迁是必须的。艾瑞克也不会任由公司的人才就这样流失。 However, the Firefly Group present condition is, the entire management system is stable. 不过,萤火虫集团现在的状况是,整个管理体系非常稳固。 Under Eric, Katzenberg and Frank Wells they govern entire Firefly Group, simultaneously is mainly responsible for the film and television entertainment operation of group. Television service, Tom after Murphy retirement, Robert and metropolis ABC old minister Stephen Burke holds the post of CEO and Chairman of ABC group separately, is responsible for the Firefly Group television service. Again downward, is the concrete subsidiary company head, for example new line Film Industry Kenneth Horne, Bowei distributes Robert of company Thompson, digital domain Stan Winston, AE TV Network Annie Swiney, ESPN TV Station Steve Bourne Stan, Firefly Records Barry Vyse wait/etc.. 艾瑞克之下,卡森伯格和弗兰克・威尔斯两人掌管整个萤火虫集团,同时主要负责集团的影视娱乐业务。电视业务方面,汤姆・墨菲退休后,罗伯特・艾格和大都会ABC的老臣史蒂芬・伯克分别担任ABC集团的CEO和总裁,负责萤火虫集团的电视业务。再往下,就是具体的分公司负责人,比如新线影业的肯尼斯・霍恩,博伟发行公司的罗伯特・汤普森,数字领域的斯坦・温斯顿,AE电视网的安妮・斯威尼,ESPN电视台的史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦,萤火虫唱片的巴里・维斯等等。 Each department as well as the subsidiary company that these company top high levels govern, composed together had Firefly Group of over 120,000 staff in global. 这些公司顶级高层们掌管的各个部门以及子公司,共同组成了在全球拥有超过120000员工的萤火虫集团。 Other do not raise for the time being, according to Steve the result as well as his present rank that the Bourne Stan makes, upward promote again, at least must achieve the ABC Chairman position. However, on him several people, without the mediocre person who can replace, in these person of short-terms are impossible to leave job and retire, this was quite awkward. 其他暂且不提,按照史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦做出的成绩以及他现在的级别,再往上提升,就至少要达到ABC总裁的位置。不过,他上面的几个人,没有一个是可以替换的庸才,这些人短期内也不可能离职和退休,这就比较尴尬了。 Eric is not a king, impossible unable to be promoted to you, gives you to be promoted. Pure promotion salary, regarding Steve superintendent who the Bourne Stan wants to obtain bigger display space like this, not too strong attraction. 艾瑞克又不是国王,不可能无法给你加官,就给你进爵。单纯的提升薪酬,对于史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦这样想要获得更大发挥空间的管理者来说,也没有太大吸引力。 On the other hand, Comcast to Steve the position that the Bourne Stan provides is also attractive, COO. 另一方面,康卡斯特给史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦提供的职位也非常诱人,首席运营官。 The Comcast domination grasps as in founder Ralph Roberts and son Ralph in Roberts hand, they hold the post of Chairman as well as CEO of company separately. 康卡斯特的控制权依旧掌握在创始人拉尔夫・罗伯茨及其儿子拉尔夫・罗伯茨手中,两人分别担任公司的董事长以及CEO。 Steve Bourne Stan the COO, the status quite in Chairman of Comcast group, directly is responsible for the CEO Roberts fathers and sons, controls the operation that entire Comcast wired TV Network winds, although cannot be centralizes power, but is at Comcast of fast rise, the display space compared with almost develop the pinnacle in a big way ESPN TV Station on many. 史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦的这个首席运营官职务,地位就相当于康卡斯特集团的总裁,直接对CEO罗伯茨父子负责,掌控整个康卡斯特有线电视网络的运营,虽然不能算是大权独揽,但正处在快速上升期的康卡斯特,发挥空间要比几乎已经发展到极致的ESPN电视台大上很多。 Firefly does not have COO position, according to administration authority, the function of COO separately by Katzenberg and Frank Wells is responsible. 萤火虫是没有首席运营官这个职位的,按照管理权限,首席运营官的职能分别由卡森伯格和弗兰克・威尔斯负责。 Eric impossible to detain Steve the Bourne Stan, suddenly sets up this kind of similar position. The stability of Firefly Group management system, is representing the authority distribution at a very harmonious state of equilibrium, originally destroys the authority to entrust with another brand-new superintendent from the superintendent hand, will only cause the management system originally to be unbalanced. 艾瑞克也不可能为了挽留史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦,就突然设立这样一个类似的职位。萤火虫集团管理体系的稳定,也就代表着权力分派处在一种非常和谐的平衡状态,从原本的管理者手中剥夺权力赋予另外一个全新的管理者,只会造成原本的管理体系失衡。 However, enlarges the vision to the entire Firefly system, may have one soon the vacancy position to suit Steve Bourne Stan, that will be AOL. By Steve the management ability that the Bourne Stan displays, is competent the AOL CEO position sufficiently, two company some similarities, do not have people of different lines of work are as separate as separated by mountains the condition. 不过,将目光放大到整个萤火虫体系,恰好就可能有一个即将空缺的职位适合史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦,那就是美国在线。以史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦表现出来的管理才能,足以胜任美国在线CEO的位置,两家公司也有很多相似之处,并不存在隔行如隔山的状况。 Actually, the United States majority of giant enterprise manager, cannot be ‚job suited to one's special training’, enterprise size as big as certain extent, the request to the superintendent also no longer is the professional skill, but is a management concept of person. 其实,美国的大部分巨头企业管理者,都不能算是‘专业对口’,企业规模大到一定程度,对管理者的要求也就不再是专业技能,而是一个人的管理理念。 Naturally, now all have not settled down, whether can the AOL domination from Steve in Kyes Team takes carry back, is an unknown. But to avoid Steve the Bourne Stan was poached, Eric must stand firm the opposite party ahead of time. 当然,现在一切还没有尘埃落定,是否能够将美国在线的控制权从史蒂夫・凯斯团队中拿回来,还是一个未知数。但为了避免史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦被挖走,艾瑞克还是要提前稳住对方。 On west district ABC Headquarters, the time already close to the rush hour, Eric and specially Steve that catches up with from Connecticut Bristol ESPN Headquarters the Bourne Stan chatted afternoon time. 上西区ABC总部,时间已经是临近下班时间,艾瑞克和特意从康涅狄格州布里斯托市ESPN总部赶来的史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦已经聊了一下午时间。 Steve the Bourne Stan to the position that Comcast starts out already the heart movement, but somewhat anticipates to control AOL this rising trend swifter more and violent emerging Internet science company. Therefore, they discussed unusual was detailed, the setting of Eric to AOL future developmental direction also obtained Steve approval of Bourne Stan. 史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦对康卡斯特开出的职位已经心动,但同时又有些期待掌控美国在线这家上升势头更加迅猛的新兴互联网科技公司。因此,两人讨论的非常详细,艾瑞克对美国在线未来发展方向的设定也得到了史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦的认可。 Finally, Steve Bourne Stan said: „Eric, since this, I can wait for one month to give that side Comcast to reply again. However, if you are unable to win the AOL domination, perhaps I must formally present my resignation letter.” 最后,史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦道:“艾瑞克,既然这样,我可以等一个月再给康卡斯特那边回复。但是,如果你无法获得美国在线控制权的话,我恐怕就要正式递交自己的辞职信了。” Eric nods, can say said that if cannot detain, that does not have the matter of means. But he cannot bear say: „Actually, Steve, even if this time were defeated, but if you are willing to wait again for two years, I can guarantee that Firefly is doomed also to purchase a telecom operator, I can still give you to manage.” 艾瑞克点点头,能说的都已经说完,如果留不住,那也是没办法的事情。但他还是忍不住道:“其实,史蒂夫,即使这次失败了,但如果你肯再等两年时间的话,我可以保证,萤火虫注定还会收购一家电信运营商,我依然可以交给你来管理。” Steve the Bourne Stan smiles was shaking the head gently, said: „Eric, I thanked you very much to my trust, I also know that you can definitely be successful in the future. However, I now actually impossible for the promise of this kind of not any clue, lets go the present opportunity.” 史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦微笑着轻轻摇了摇头,道:“艾瑞克,我很感谢你对我的信任,我也知道,你将来肯定能够成功。但是,我现在却不可能为了这样一个没有任何头绪的许诺,放弃眼前的机会。” Eric also can only regret, actually, along with Nokia that side Jorma leaving job of Ollila, Nokia Chairman, can give Steve Bourne Stan. 艾瑞克也只能遗憾,其实,随着诺基亚那边约玛・奥利拉的离职,还有一个诺基亚总裁,可以交给史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦。 The span some of media and telecommunication these two professions were too big, had Apple once to hire John from drink company Calley held the post of CEO to cause the lesson that the company declined, Eric rashly not to raise. Let alone, Nokia Headquarters in Northern Europe, Steve the Bourne Stan accepts this position the possibility not to be big. 只是,传媒和电讯这两个行业的跨度就有些太大了,有苹果曾经聘用来自饮料公司的约翰・斯卡利担任CEO导致公司衰落的教训,艾瑞克也就没有冒然提出来。更何况,诺基亚的总部在北欧,史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦接受这个职位的可能性也不大。 Decides these, Eric sets out, once more toward Steve the Bourne Stan puts out a hand: „, Has supper together, I have made the person subscribe the position.” 商定这些,艾瑞克起身,再次朝史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦伸出手:“那么,一起吃顿晚餐吧,我已经让人订好了位置。” „Naturally,” Steve the Bourne Stan put out a hand to grip tightly with Eric. “当然,”史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦伸手与艾瑞克紧紧握了一下。 Other they and Headquarters several high levels have greeted, leaves ABC Headquarters together, rushes to a city Rockefeller center top restaurant to dine. 两人与总部其他几位高层打过招呼,一起离开ABC总部,赶到中城区洛克菲勒中心的一家顶级餐厅用餐。 Has the supper, Eric has made the driver deliver Steve personally Bourne Stan to staying the square hotel, then has the slightly drunk tipsy feeling to hurry back to three girls in the top layer apartment of Madison main road. 吃过晚餐,艾瑞克亲自让司机送史蒂夫・伯恩斯坦到下榻的广场酒店,然后才带着微醺的酒意赶回三个女孩在麦迪逊大道的顶层公寓。
