This is the Ryan biggest question, although never improperly belittles oneself, but he does not think own present has the capital to make the opposite party ask to visit. 对方找自己做什么?这是瑞恩最大的疑问,虽然从来不妄自菲薄,但他并不认为自己现在有资本让对方求上门来。 Naturally, Jenkins film company was cooperating with Viacom recently. «Scream» will soon distribute in North America, the Canadian area signs is Viacom's affiliated institute line. 当然,詹金斯影业最近在与维亚康姆合作。《惊声尖叫》即将在北美发行,加拿大地区签下的就是维亚康姆旗下的院线。 Ryan is maintaining composure observing Summer?

Redstone maintaining composure is also observing him. 瑞恩在不动声色的观察着萨默?雷石东。雷石东同样在不动声色的观察着他。 Actually, before Ryan becomes famous, Redstone and old friend Katie chats, listens to her to raise him, at that time had not cared, the genius who after all in their Jewish presents were too many, does not propose the business and science, said only artistic is countless. 其实,早在瑞恩出名之前,雷石东与老友凯蒂闲聊时,就听她提起过他,当时并没有怎么在意,毕竟他们犹太裔中出现的天才人物实在太多了,不提商业和科学,单说艺术方面就数之不尽。 When he concentrates on the goal to the filmmaking industry. Is observing Paramount film company silently time, is the opposite party like these days of comet rise, he and his work success time and time again, wants to neglect difficultly. 当他将目标投注到电影制作行业。默默观察着派拉蒙影业的时候,正是对方如同彗星般崛起的这段时间,他和他的作品一次又一次的成功,想让人忽视都难。 The success is not anything, but depends upon the marvelous idea and accurate audience localization, draws the entire industry chain, has the number continuously at hundred million incomes. Will receive attaching great importance to of entire entertainment industry naturally. 成功并不算什么,但依靠奇妙的构思和准确的观众定位,拉动整条产业链,接连不断产生数以亿记的收益。自然而然会受到整个娱乐行业的重视。 Because of this, last year time, does he pass Xueli?

He never minded that actually oneself operation target is the 12 or 13-year-old young fellow, is gradually old later years person. 就像所有的商人一样,只要有足够的收益。他从不介意自己的合作对象究竟是十二三岁的少年人,还是垂垂老矣的暮年人。 After that his object of observation except for Paramount film company group, many a person, he must determine that the opposite party does have with the qualifications of Viacom equal cooperation. 自那之后,他的观察对象除了派拉蒙影业集团,又多了一个人,他要确定对方到底有没有与维亚康姆平等合作的资格。 Most direct goal. Is two big manufactures that this year screens, invests 70 million US dollars «Jurassic Park» and invests 130 million US dollars «True Lies». 最直接的目标。莫过于今年上映的两部大制作,投资7000万美元的《侏罗纪公园》和投资1亿3000万美元的《真实的谎言》。 The former is most important. After all entire Jurassic Park is he creates, he also personally participated in the investment, reorganization, the peripheral design and propaganda marketing, if the movie and peripheral once will really say to oneself like him successful, then must enhance two ranks to his value estimation at least. 前者则是重中之重。毕竟整个侏罗纪公园就是他创造出来的,他还亲身参与了投资、改编、周边设计和宣传营销,如果电影和周边真的会像他曾经对自己说的那样成功,那对他的价值估测最少要提高两个等级。 In fact? The box office and peripheral sales volume of movie, went far beyond the initial number. 事实上呢?电影的票房和周边的销售额,远远超过了当初的数字。 Did not say peripheral, said the box office only, the North American box office exceeded 400 million US dollars, the overseas box office that has counted was close to 500 million US dollars, the North American chief box office champion and global chief box office champion is solid now, the global box office surpassed 1 billion US dollars close at hand. 不说周边,单说票房,北美票房超过了4亿美元,已经统计出的海外票房接近了五亿美元,北美总票房冠军和全球总票房冠军如今已经坐实,全球票房超过十亿美元近在眼前。 As for the peripheral product, according to his affiliated survey the statistics, the sales volume of North America had neared the North American box office, unlike the box office, this opens the long-term credit card, has not needed to consider the repayments. 至于周边产品,据他旗下的调查机构所统计,北美的销售额已经接近了北美票房,与票房不同,这可是张长期的信用卡,还不用考虑还款。 Right! The deluxe version novel that revises, brave and beautiful sold merely surpassed thousands of book. 对!还有重新修订的精装版小说,仅仅英美两地就卖出了超过千万册。 Profit, even if he must look askance, let alone, the movie obviously only intercepted slightly could not speak of 1/5 contents, later can definitely manufacture several sequels, continued to make money...... 这其中产生的利润,哪怕是他也要为之侧目,何况,电影明显只截取了小说不到五分之一的内容,之后完全可以制作几部续集,继续捞钱…… Without a doubt, in this summer's grand feast, biggest profits the individual, sits in youngster, something in the circle are not the secrets, so far, divides up money through the investment of Jenkins film company with share of individual copyright, the Ryan Jenkins income, exceeded 100 million US dollars absolutely. 毫无疑问,在今夏的这场盛宴中,最大的得利个体,就是坐在身边的这个少年,有些东西在圈内根本就不是秘密,截至目前为止,通过詹金斯影业的投资分账和个人版权的分成,瑞恩?詹金斯的收益,绝对超过了一亿美元。 This is pays taxes the later number! 这可是缴税之后的数目! According to the estimate of professional institution, in the following year, the income that he makes will not be below this digit absolutely. 根据专业机构的预估,接下来的一年中,他获得的收入绝对不会低于这个数字。 Also!

Kidman, moreover he advocates strongly to purchase Pixar Studio, was ridiculed by many people for the commercial idiot secretly. 他又想起了某些传闻,据说瑞恩?詹金斯对商业并不感冒,詹金斯影业的实际掌控人是妮可?基德曼,而且他力主收购皮克斯工作室,被许多人暗地里讥讽为商业白痴。 In his opinion also truly so, Steve? Does Jobs peddle the work room that cannot sell to be promising for several years? 在他看来也确实如此,史蒂夫?乔布斯数年兜售卖不出去的工作室会有前途? Naturally, this helps Viacom and he cooperates. 当然,这样更有利于维亚康姆和他合作。 Summer? Redstone comes today personally, to discuss a both sides cooperation. 萨默?雷石东今天亲自前来,就是为了讨论双方间的合作。 Viacom Group's purchase to Paramount film company was bogged down in difficulties! 维亚康姆集团对派拉蒙影业的收购案陷入了困境! First is the management of Paramount is capricious, latter is another media giant- boss Barre of US Shopping Channel QVC Corporation? Theiler bothers maliciously, and triggered a litigation, causes one is the friendly merger and acquisition turned into cloud of smoke float over the struggle of buying at auction. 先是派拉蒙的管理层反复无常,后是另一传媒巨头-美国购物频道QVC公司的老板巴瑞?迪勒恶意搅局,并引发了一场司法诉讼,使得一场原来是友善的并购变成一场硝烟弥漫的标购之争。 The capital strength does not get the advantage, the court lost a lawsuit. That the divorce case and hostile takeover fought seriously undermined the confidence of Wall Street, even if Redstone issued the statement to eliminate Wall Street to his anxiety. Does not have the tangible effect. 资金实力不占优势,法庭又败诉。加之离婚案和恶意收购战严重挫伤了华尔街的信心,哪怕雷石东发表声明以消除华尔街对他的疑虑。却没有明显的效果。 Then, not only new financing had the problem, even in his hand mortgages in the 7 billion US dollars of offering loans and financing, had the plan of disinvestment much. 这下,不但新的融资出现了问题,连他手中抵押举债和融资来的70亿美元中,不少都有了撤资的打算。 The capital by the advantage, Wall Street indeed has the huge cash flow, but wants to finance, must let the hope that they see to obtain benefits. 资本都是逐利的,华尔街的确拥有庞大的现金流,但想要融资,就要让他们看到获益的希望。 How must be able to that crowd of vampire confidence, telling them purchases Paramount is not the issue. In the future Paramount gains is not the issue, aren't their incomes similarly the issues? 要如何才能给那群吸血鬼信心,告诉他们收购派拉蒙不是问题。未来派拉蒙盈利不是问题,他们的收益同样不是问题呢? This is the issue that Redstone finances to solve. 这是雷石东融资必须要解决的问题。 Paramount is the film company giant, the main income came from the movie and relevant industry, the successful movie is the guarantee of profit. 派拉蒙是影业巨头,主要收益来自于电影和相关产业,成功的电影就是盈利的保证。 Wall Street is not the fool, the idle talk vernacular has no persuasive power. 华尔街不是傻子,空口白话没有任何说服力。 Therefore, Redstone decided that looks for one, in the film industry has not been defeated, continuously after succeeding, this year obtained the unprecedented success, how regardless to see the person who can also succeed, carries out the cooperation in entire aspect. Promotes this purchase successfully to complete. 所以,雷石东决定找一个在电影行业从来没有失败、一直在成功、今年取得了史无前例的成功、无论怎么看以后还会成功的人,进行全方面的合作。推动这场收购案成功完成。 Does such person have? 这样的人有吗? If places this before summer, Summer? Redstone thinks that Hollywood does not have such person. 如果放在这个夏天之前,萨默?雷石东会认为好莱坞不存在这样的人。 Now, this person sits side him. 如今,这个人就坐在他身边。 This is the choice that most direct and simplest and most reduces effort, even if grants the opposite party Paramount several points stocks, draws in the same strip warship him, taking advantage of this demonstrated guarantee that the determination and future of Viacom will gain. Thus facilitates two financing in primary market, compares the price that the entire Viacom mortgages to pay absolutely must be small. 这是最直接、最简单和最省力的选择,哪怕是将派拉蒙几个点的股份赠与对方,将他拉上同一条战船,借此来显示维亚康姆的决心和未来盈利的保证。从而促成在一级市场的二次融资,也绝对比把整个维亚康姆都抵押出去付出的代价要小。 Let alone, words that the two sides really want to cooperate, the opposite party does not pay the price is absolutely impossible. 何况,两边真的想要合作的话,对方不付出代价是绝对不可能的。 Although Ryan understood before the meeting the present situation of many Redstone and Viacom, actually cannot find out the opposite party to look for own specific objective. He is drinking the fruit juice slowly, Redstone is silent. He is also silent. 尽管瑞恩在会面前了解了不少雷石东和维亚康姆的现状,却想不出对方找自己的具体目的。他慢慢饮着果汁,雷石东沉默。他同样沉默。 „Does Ryan, have the interest cooperation?” 瑞恩,有兴趣合作吗?” The rest area is empty, although Redstone's words are not high, particularly is resounding. 休息区空空荡荡,雷石东的话虽然不高,却分外响亮。 „Aren't we cooperating?” “我们不正在合作吗?” The Ryan finger/refers naturally is Jenkins film company and Viacom. 瑞恩指得自然是詹金斯影业和维亚康姆。 No.” “不。” Redstone shakes the head slowly, the manner is serious, obviously regarded the true negotiating partner Ryan, what I said is other aspects.” 雷石东缓缓摇了摇头,神态严肃,显然将瑞恩当成了真正的谈判对象,“我说的是其他方面。” Hope hears Qixiang.” “愿闻其详。” Ryan also exhibited the formal attitude. 瑞恩同样摆出了正儿八经的态度。 You should hear, I am promoting Viacom to purchase Paramount film company, do you have the interest investment?” “你应该听说过,我正在推动维亚康姆收购派拉蒙影业,你有没有兴趣投资?” The words that Redstone said that stemmed from the imagination of Ryan obviously, but the opposite party was the famous media giant, was impossible to play this joke, he frowns. 雷石东说出的话,显然出乎了瑞恩的想象,但对方是大名鼎鼎的传媒巨头,不可能开这种玩笑,他皱起了眉头。 Why is I?” Although on the Ryan mouth asked, actually guessed correctly faintly, I do not think oneself have the qualifications of participating in this type of purchase.” “为什么是我呢?”尽管瑞恩嘴上这么问,却隐隐猜到了一些,“我不认为自己有参与这种收购案的资格。” Because I must give certain person confidence, but you are the origin of confidence!” Redstone intent has referred. “因为我要给某些人信心,而你就是信心的来源!”雷石东意有所指。 Ryan slightly nodded, unifies to understand from Scott there the situation, slightly a thinking, he understood the meaning of opposite party. 瑞恩微微点了点头,结合从斯科特那里了解到的情况,略一思索,他就明白了对方的意思。 However, since Redstone dares saying that oneself are only the most important choice, if has no meeting of minds he definitely also to file. 不过,雷石东既然敢这么说,想必自己只是首要选择,如果谈不拢他肯定还有备案。 Also, since is the investment, that must come out with the really gold/metal silver, Summer? Redstone is not a philanthropist. 再说了,既然是投资,那就要拿真金白银出来,萨默?雷石东可不是慈善家。 Knocks the arm rest of chair slowly, Ryan is weighing the advantages, Redstone's silent sitting there, does not say a word. 缓缓敲着椅子的扶手,瑞恩衡量着利弊,雷石东沉默的坐在那里,不发一言。 Without a doubt, this is the good opportunity of buying stock in Paramount film company, the stock of even obtaining will not be many, made both sides have enough benefit tie, had many advantage to the later cooperation. 毫无疑问,这是一个入股派拉蒙影业的好机会,即便得到的股份不会太多,却让双方间有了足够的利益纽带,对以后的合作有不少好处。 If smooth, in the near future must look for the distributor for that two animation studios, Paramount without doubt is a very good choice. 如果顺利的话,不远的未来自己还要为那两个动画工作室寻找发行商,派拉蒙无疑就是非常好的一个选择。 Also can be Nicole wraps a halo or charm amulet taking this opportunity...... 还可以借此机会为妮可套一层光环或者说护身符…… Naturally, since is cooperates and business, without enough benefit, Ryan will still reject. 当然,既然是合作和生意,如果没有足够的利益,瑞恩依然会拒绝。 100 million US dollars, 3% stocks!” “一亿美元,百分之三的股份!” That old fox as if knows that Ryan is thinking anything, opened the mouth slowly, he is very clear, Ryan and various «Jurassic Park» is divided by «True Lies», in the hand has the adequate fund, over the next five years, will most little cooperate every year three movies.” 那头老狐狸似乎知道瑞恩在想什么,缓缓开口了,他很清楚,瑞恩凭借《真实的谎言》和《侏罗纪公园》的各种分成,手中有足够的资金,“未来五年,每年最少合作三部电影。” Although clear 100 million US dollars attain 3% stocks to be cost-effective, Ryan shakes the head, such price wants to drag into this vortex, was too rather inexpensive. 尽管清楚一亿美元拿到百分之三的股份非常划算,瑞恩还是摇了摇头,这样的代价就想将自己拉入这个漩涡中,未免太廉价了。 Over the next three years, will most little cooperate every year twice......” “未来三年,每年最少合作两次……” Then, Ryan gave birth to the right hand slowly, opens was grasping fist. 说完,瑞恩缓缓生出了右手,张开了握着的拳头。
