他终于知道为什么这些欧洲的old-money现如今多数都混得不怎么样,尤其是那些从17、18世纪就开始继承爵位的贵族,到今天几乎都是在吃老本,最根本的一个原因,就是他们太讲究也太安逸。
The wealthowner of new timesattaches great importance to the efficiency, withLi Mu, even ifhad been in very richsituation, stillhas never hadlike the Europeanaristocratso manyart, onebreakfastone -and-a-half hours, lunchtwohours, dinner, ifcomesFrenchfull meal, from all sidesat least2-3hours, if onegroup of aristocratscrowds togetherto have the dinner, eat mealandblowsawesome, foodeats for fivehours is also normal.
新时代的财富拥有者最重视效率,就拿李牧自己来说,就算是已经到了非常有钱的地步,也从来没有过像欧洲贵族这么多的讲究,一顿早饭一个半小时,午饭两个小时,晚饭如果来一顿法式正餐,前前后后至少2-3个小时,如果是一帮贵族凑在一起吃晚饭,连吃饭带吹牛逼,一顿饭吃五个小时也是正常。Thesepeoplelooked like the Chinaancient timeswriterpoetvery much, every dayread poemsto oppose, flowermonth before last, wholetime and energyplacedinoneselfuniquelife style, butin the creationwealthas well ascreatedoncareer, theseRenminhad nothing worthwhile.
这些人很像华夏古时候的文人骚客,每天吟诗作对、花前月下,大部分的时间和精力放在了自己特有的生活方式上,但在创造财富以及创造事业上,这些人大都乏善可陈。IfWilliam'ssuchroyal family, cannotlet the merit that heappreciatesin the Li Mueyetruly, the etiquette education that theseperson of styles of speaking and mannerunusualgentlemen, haveat a young agemight be considered as the textbooklevel, butsurface of thesethingsin the Li Mueye, most is a skillbutcannotbe an ability, otherwisehenot possible, whenheard itself saying that does not needto make moneybyTwitterR, revealedthattypefrom the bottom of one's heartsurprisedanddid not understand.
如威廉这样的王室,在李牧眼里也并没有真正能让他欣赏的优点,这些人谈吐和举止都非常绅士,自小接受的礼仪教育堪称是教科书级,但这些东西在李牧眼里过于表面,最多是一种技能而不能算是一种能力,否则他也不可能在听到自己说不需要靠twitter赚钱的时候,流露出那种发自肺腑的惊讶与不理解。Iftradesto makeElonMusk, oneselfwere needless saying that heshouldalsobe ableto understand, iftradedto beLarry Page is also same, MarkZuckerbergalthoughwas young, whole was very immature, buthisideological modewas advanced, evensurpassedGoldberg Familyeveryone, as well asparticipated inallEuropeanaristocrats who thissalongot together.
若是换做埃隆・马斯克,自己不用说,他应该也能明白,如果换做拉里・佩奇也是一样,马克・扎克伯格虽然年纪不大、整体还很稚嫩,但他的思维模式是超前的,甚至超过goldberg家族的所有人,以及参加这场沙龙聚会的所有欧洲贵族。Li Musomewhatthinks ofBill Gatessuddenly, althoughBill Gatesevenwantsto have it allMuye Science and Technology, buthetrulyhas that person of common language at least.李牧忽然有些想念比尔・盖茨,虽说比尔・盖茨心里甚至想把牧野科技一锅端掉,但他起码是真正与自己有共同语言的那个人。Thought ofBill Gates, Li Mulooked, in the restaurantdid not haveBill Gates'sform, was thiselder brothergood and evil the world's richest, Goldberg Familydefinitelycannotarrangetogoing to the banquet halleats mealwithmostguestshimtogether? Why hasn't thatseenhim?
想到比尔・盖茨,李牧四下里看了看,餐厅里并没有比尔・盖茨的身影,这位老大哥好歹是世界首富,goldberg家族肯定不能把他安排到去宴会厅与多数客人一起吃饭吧?那为什么没见到他?Immediately, Li MuasksWilliamsaid: „Does William, haveto seeMr.Bill Gatestoday?”
随即,李牧开口问威廉道:“威廉,今天有见到比尔・盖茨先生吗?”Williamshakes the head, said: „Has not seen, how? Do youaskMr.Gatesto have the matter?”
威廉摇了摇头,道:“没见到,怎么了?你找盖茨先生有事?”„All right, butasks.”Li Mudealt withone, somewhatwondersat heart.
“没事,只是问问。”李牧应付了一句,心里不由有些纳闷。At this time, justDavissonaccompaniedseveralMiddle Eastroyal family membersto walk, Li Muthenwavestohim, DavissonhastilynotifiesseveralMiddle Eastroyal family members, laterarrived around Li Mu, askedwith a smile: „Mr. Li, breakfastalsowithyourappetite?”
这时候,刚好戴维森陪着几位中东王室成员走了进来,李牧便对他挥了挥手,戴维森急忙跟几位中东王室成员打了个招呼,随后来到李牧跟前,笑着问道:“李先生,早餐还和你胃口吗?”„Good.”Li Musmiles, askedhim: „Right, how to seeMr.Bill Gates?”
“挺好的。”李牧笑了笑,问他:“对了,怎么没见到比尔・盖茨先生?”Davissonaskedwith a smile: „Hasn't Mr. Liknown?”
戴维森笑着问道:“李先生还不知道?”Li Muwondered: „Whatknows?”李牧纳闷了:“知道什么?”Davissonsaid with a smile: „Mr.Gatesreturned toUS (America).”
戴维森笑道:“盖茨先生回美国了。”„Returned toUS (America)?”Li Muis the surprise: „Thenjustcame, howto walk? Whenwalks?”
“回美国了?”李牧更是诧异:“这才刚来,怎么就走了?什么时候走的?”„Last night.”Davissonthinks,said: „After shouldbeTwitterRgets online, soon afterdecidesto go backtemporarily, nowshouldarrive inSeattle.”
“昨天夜里。”戴维森想了想,道:“应该是twitter上线后不久之后就临时决定回去了,现在应该已经到西雅图了吧。”Li Muwas startledbeing startled, my goodness, did thiswalk?李牧怔了怔,好家伙,这就走了?Li Muhelplesssighing, is thisbrotherhastilynervousgoing backdoing? Canregroup after a defeatto continueto pushmsn?李牧无奈的叹了口气,这老哥着急忙慌的回去干什么?要重整旗鼓继续推msn?TwitterRgets online, even ifmsnhas the hugeability, was impossibleto toppleYY, this point, Bill Gatesshouldhave several.twitter一上线,msn就算有天大的能耐,也不可能扳倒yy了,这一点,比尔・盖茨心里应该有数。Thenhehastilynervousgoing back, wasin the facecannot hang?
那么他着急忙慌的回去,难道是面子上挂不住了?Thishas the possibilityactually, after allhewas self-confidentbefore, alwaysthought that the brand-newmsnecologywill bring the huge threattoYY, evenprovokesto demonstratetooneselfon own initiative, msnecologyunexpectedlycollapsing at the first blow that suchbutdidn't expectMicrosoftbuildscarefully.
这倒是有可能,毕竟他之前自信满满,总觉得全新的msn生态会给yy带来巨大威胁,甚至主动向自己挑衅示威,但没想到微软精心打造的msn生态竟然这么的不堪一击。Davissonopened the mouthto sayat this time: „Mr. Li, PrinceWalid in Saudi Arabiawantsto inviteyouto play a golf, does not know that youdo have the time?”
戴维森这时开口道:“李先生,沙特阿拉伯的瓦利德王子想邀请你打一场高尔夫,不知道你有没有时间?”„Saudi Arabianprince?”Li Mubrowslightlypressed, subconsciouslooksto the Middle Eastguests of severalDai Hongwhitecheckkerchiefs, a young manseesLi Muto look,smilesis raising handto hinttoLi Mu.
“沙特王子?”李牧眉头微蹙,下意识的向几个戴红白格子头巾的中东客人看去,其中一位年轻男子见李牧看过来,微笑着向李牧举手示意。Davissonsaid: „ThatisPrinceWalid.”
戴维森说:“那位就是瓦利德王子。”Li Munods, said: „Helpsmethankhisgood intention, butIwill not play the golf, thereforehad no wayto accompany.”李牧点了点头,道:“帮我谢谢他的好意,不过我不会打高尔夫,所以就没法奉陪了。”Davissonnods saying: „Good, Ipassed on tohimlater.”
戴维森点头道:“那好,我待会就转告他。”Li Mushows a faint smile, said: „RightDavisson, the matter of Man Cityclub, the troublesomerhythmas far as possiblequickly, the quicker the better, bestto be ablebeforeIleaveBritaincanhandle.”李牧微微一笑,说:“对了戴维森,曼城俱乐部的事情,麻烦节奏尽量快一点,越快越好,最好是能在我离开英国之前就能搞定。”Davissonsomewhatworriesall of a sudden, acquires a club, at least is also the large amount ofbusiness of big several millionPound Sterling, normally, even ifboth sidescandiscusson the pricegather together, following is only the financial affairsaudit and connectionneedslong time, Li Muwantsto buy a clubin just several days, the possibilityis minimal.
戴维森一下子有些犯难,收购一家俱乐部,至少也是大几千万英镑的巨额买卖,正常情况下,就算双方能就价格问题谈拢,后续光是财务审计以及交接就需要很长时间,李牧想在短短几天之内就买下一个俱乐部,可能性微乎其微。SeesDavissonnot to speak . Moreover the expressionis somewhat puzzled, Li Musimply said: „Davisson, you do not needto wanttoomanybranchdetails, sincetheyintendto act, Icantake overaccording to110% of current price on market, givesthemadditionally10%premiums, iftheycomply withthisoffer, Icanpay moneyimmediately, as for the financial affairsaudit, canfirsttake the data of theiraccountas the standard, makingthemmake a written pledge, then behind putstakes your time, such bigclub, onfinancial affairsshouldnot have the toobigdeviation, even ifthere is a deviation, when the time comes can still pursue the responsibilityaccording to the agreement.”
见戴维森没有说话,而且表情有些纠结,李牧便道:“戴维森,你不用想太多旁枝末节,既然他们本身就有意出手,那我可以按市场价的110%接手,额外给他们10%的溢价,如果他们答应这个报价,那我可以立刻付款,至于财务审计,可以先以他们账面的数据为准,让他们做个书面承诺,然后放到后面慢慢来,这么大的俱乐部,财务上应该不会有太大的偏差,就算有偏差,到时候也可以根据协议追责。”Davissonknows that Li Muworkspursues the efficiencyextremely, ifthismatterdragagain12months, thatfuturewantto makeLi MucooperatewithHSBC, makingHSBCcoordinateto be the Muye Science and Technologyipolordcredit corroborative, feared that was also hopeless.
戴维森知道李牧做事情极追求效率,如果这件事自己再拖上个一两月,那未来自己想让李牧跟汇丰合作,让汇丰牵头做牧野科技ipo的主承销商,怕是也没戏了。ThereforeDavissonnods, said: „Ionarrangedthismatter, strivingmakethemsign a framework agreementwithmetodayas soon as possible.”
于是戴维森点了点头,道:“我今天就安排这件事情,争取让他们尽快跟我签一个框架协议。”

……Uses up the breakfast, WendyGoldbergreturns to the restaurant, proposed that accompaniesLi Mu, Prince Williamas well asAnne Hathawayvisits the goldBossergmanor, Li Muhas not rejected, in his opinion, oneselfandthisgroup of old-money and imperial familyaristocratshave no common language, whenmight as well the touristrevolutions, grows in experienceeverywhere.
用完早餐,温蒂・高柏回到餐厅,提出陪李牧、威廉王子以及安妮・海瑟薇参观goldberg庄园,李牧没有拒绝,在他看来,自己和这帮old-money以及皇室贵族没什么共同语言,还不如当个游客到处转转、长长见识。WhenLi Mutours the goldBossergmanor, Davissonowneldest sonWilliamGoldbergcalledhisstudy room.
就在李牧游览goldberg庄园的时候,戴维森把自己的长子威廉・高柏叫到了他的书房。FacingWilliamIn short that Goldberg, Davissonsaidis earth-shaking, hesaid: „William, yougoes toManchester, must buy the Manchester Cityclub.”
面对威廉・高柏,戴维森说的第一句话就石破天惊,他说:“威廉,你去一趟曼彻斯特,务必要把曼彻斯特城俱乐部买下来。”„BuysManchester City?”WilliamGoldbergwas shocked, the surprisesaid: „Father, Macmillan Familyis the Man Unitedmajor stockholder, can youwiththemto?”
“买曼彻斯特城?”威廉・高柏愣住了,诧异的说:“爸,麦克米伦家族是曼联的大股东,你这是要跟他们对着来吗?”Davissonbeckons with the hand, said: „BuysManchester City, is to treat as the giftto giveLi Muit.”
戴维森摆了摆手,道:“买曼彻斯特城,是要把它当做礼物送给李牧。”„GivesLi Mu? The father, was thisgift, some are too expensive?”WilliamGoldbergdid not understand,hedoes not doclearly, why does the fatherwantto give a Li Mufootball club? Firstdid not say that this„gift”somewhatcreative, is only thiscostonhighwas somewhat odd.
“送给李牧?爸爸,这个礼物,是不是有些太贵重了?”威廉・高柏更是不理解,他搞不明白,爸爸为什么要送给李牧一个足球俱乐部?先不说这“礼物”有些标新立异,光是这成本就高的有些离谱了。
The Englishdeeply love the soccerfrom the royal familyto the civilians, theyknewaboutdomesticfootball club,WilliamGoldberg is also same, hisveryclearManchester Citypresent situation , the probablyclearManchester Cityap-proximate price, wantsto buythisclub, is only the purchasecostonseven80 millionPound Sterling, and even higher, even ifhewantsto win overLi Mu, definitelydoesn't needto make such bigsacrifice?
英国人从王室到平民都热爱足球,他们对国内的足球俱乐部更是非常了解,威廉・高柏也是一样,他很清楚曼彻斯特城的现状,也大概清楚曼彻斯特城的大概价格,想把这个俱乐部买下来,光是收购成本就得七八千万英镑,甚至更高,就算他想拉拢李牧,也完全没必要做出这么大的牺牲吧?Davissonactuallyshakes the head, said: „Wehad made the predictionbefore, Muye Science and Technology, ifipo, market valueat leastin2000hundred millionUSDabout, but, TwitterRthisthingcomes upto spread the worldon the fire, the media of all countries in the worldwere reporting,thisdevelopment speedwas too fearful, ifgivesLi Muagainsix months, will haveTwitterRto make the boost, the Muye Science and Technologyipomarket valuewill also continueto increase, therefore, Muye Science and Technologyiposhouldbein the NASDAQhistorylargestipo, moreoverperhapsin the next several years, thisrecordnot possibleto be exceeded.”
戴维森却摇了摇头,说:“我们之前就做过预测,牧野科技如果ipo,市值至少会在两千亿美元左右,但是,twitter这个东西一上来就火遍全球,以至于全球各国的媒体都在报道,这个发展速度太可怕了,如果再给李牧半年时间,有twitter做助力,牧野科技ipo的市值还会继续攀升,所以,牧野科技ipo应该是纳斯达克历史上规模最大的ipo,而且在未来几年内,这个记录恐怕都不可能被超越。”Saying, Davissonalsosaid: „IfMuye Science and Technologydraws upto put out10%stocksto be usedto raise, thatthisis200hundred millionUSDscales, ifwecaneat uphalf, is only the directprofithasalmosttenhundred millionUSD, the potentialprofitwas needless saying that ifwecandoto coordinate the line, to attain the Lordunderwritingpower, thatwill promote the customerenormouslytoourapproval, the backvalue addedwas inestimable, thereforein any event, wemusthitto relatewithLi Mu, Li Muwas just carefulto the FA Premier Leagueclub, wemight as welldeliverhim a bigfavor.”
说着,戴维森又道:“如果牧野科技拟定拿出10%的股份用来募资,那这就是两百多亿美元的规模,如果我们能吃下一半,光是直接利润就有差不多十亿美元,潜在利润就不用说了,如果我们能做牵头行、拿到主承销权,那将极大提升客户对我们的认可度,背后的附加价值不可估量,所以无论如何,我们都要跟李牧打好关系,刚好李牧对英超俱乐部非常上心,那我们不如就送他一个大人情。”WilliamGoldbergdeeplyinspires, said: „Iunderstood.”
威廉・高柏深吸了一口气,道:“我明白了。”Davissonsaid: „The Li Mucomparisonworries, therefore after youarrived atManchester, negotiatedwith the Manchester Cityshareholderalsopushesas far as possible the rhythmis quicker, even ifspent a money, mustthisgroup to nodas soon as possible, so long astheydid not have the opinionto the offer, wesign the agreementwiththemimmediately, thenhit the funds, stroveto handlein five days.”
戴维森道:“李牧比较着急,所以你到了曼彻斯特之后,跟曼彻斯特城的股东谈判也尽量把节奏推得更快一些,哪怕多花一点钱,也要让这帮人尽快点头,只要他们对报价没有意见,我们就立刻跟他们签协议,然后打款,争取在五天之内搞定。”„Fivedays?”Williamdeciding that the Goldbergsurprise, such bigmatter, howfivedayspossiblycarries out, 50daysalsoalmost.
“五天?”威廉・高柏更加诧异,这么大的事情,五天怎么可能搞的定,五十天还差不多。Saying that Davissonactually can not be questioned: „Situationis special, therefore must be primarily the time, moretakesManchester Cityearly, morehelpsuspull closer the relationswithLi Mu, ifmissesthisopportunity, wantsto haveagainnext time, butis not easy.”
戴维森却毋容置疑的说道:“情况特殊,所以一切要以时间为主,越早拿下曼彻斯特城,就越有利于我们跟李牧拉近关系,如果错过这次机会,再想有下次,可就没那么容易了。”WilliamGoldbergimmediatelysinceresay/way: „Iunderstood the father, Iprepare, startsas soon as possible.”
威廉・高柏立刻正色道:“我明白了爸爸,那我准备准备,尽快启程。”Davissonnods, at oncealsosays: „A matter.”
戴维森点了点头,旋即又道:“还有一件事。”WilliamGoldberghastilysaid: „Fatherpleasesay.”
威廉・高柏急忙道:“爸爸请说。”Davissonsaid: „ToldWendy, hertruelifepeaknotinher own, notinus, butonLi Mu, lether, ifwants the meansto followLi Muis nearer . Moreover, mustprepareChinato read the matter of graduate studentas soon as possible, cannotwait tillthe end of the year, otherwiseby the Li Mu'swork and rhythm of life, healmostforgotWendyby the end of the yearcleanly!”
戴维森道:“告诉温蒂,她真正的人生巅峰不在她自己,也不在我们,而是在李牧身上,让她要想办法跟李牧走得更近一些,另外,要尽快准备去华夏读研究生的事情,千万不能等到年底,否则以李牧的工作和生活节奏来看,到年底他就差不多把温蒂忘干净了!”
