In June before approachinglastThursday, the sky of New YorkIsland of Manhattanis coveringvisibledark cloud, seemsmustrain hardimmediately.
六月来临前的最后一个周四,纽约曼哈顿岛的上空笼罩着一层看得见的乌云,好似马上就要下起大雨。In order toavoid the sultriness in forthcomingheavy rain and air, Boehmdid not speed up the footstepsvoluntarily.
为了躲避即将到来的大雨与空气中的闷热,贝姆不自觉的加快了脚步。HereisWall Street, ifcompares in the global economy the human brain the complexneural network, thenthis 1 mile in lengthstreetisinthiscomplexneural networkis then most sensitivealsomost essentialone.
这里是华尔街,如果将全球经济比作人脑中复杂的神经网络,那么这条全长不过1英里的街道便是这复杂的神经网络中最敏感也最关键的一条。Buthe, Boehm, asgraduating the performancemanyinvestment bankelite of outstanding studentinHarvard UniversityandGoldman Sachs Groupaffiliatedinvestment bank, is inthismost sensitivenervebeatneuron......
而他,贝姆,作为毕业于哈佛大学的高材生、高盛集团旗下投行的一名业绩颇丰的投行界精英,便是这条最敏感的神经上这其中一个跳动神经元……Entered the company, stands the elevator, avoidsto hug the colleague who the documentfront surfaceis walking, entersBoehm in officebringsalong the briefcaseto puton the table.
进了公司,站上电梯,避开抱着文件迎面走来的同事,走进自己办公室里的贝姆将随身带着的公文包搁在了桌上。Heonestephas first arrived here colleagueto transferunder the chair, looked athim.
已经先他一步到这里的同事转了下椅子,将目光投向了他。„Did youwatch the morningnews?”
“你关注早上的新闻了吗?”Boehm: „Starting todayis lateslightly, what happened?”
贝姆:“今天起的稍微晚了点,又发生了什么事吗?”Carrel: „Isbecauseanythinghas not happened, thereforeIthought that soonmusthaveanything. Youknow that yesterday afternoon, ourMinistry of Justicedeclaredhas had the crucialevidence, canprove6years ago thatpatentpurchasesisillegal. Fromyesterdayto the present, I have been staring at the Starry Sky Technologynews...... orChinathat sidenews, howeveranythinghas not waited tilluntil now. Shouldbe ableto lookatyourlevel,thisis unusual.”
卡瑞尔:“就是因为什么也没发生,所以我才觉得即将要发生些什么。你知道的,就在昨天下午,我们的司法部宣称已经掌握了关键性证据,能够证明六年前的那场专利收购案是不合法的。从昨天到现在,我一直在盯着星空科技的消息……或者说华国那边的消息,然而到现在为止什么也没等到。以你的水平应该能看出来,这非常不寻常。”
The fellow who oneselfwill eat mealtookfrom the briefcase, suspendson the desk.
将自己吃饭的家伙从公文包里取了出来,在办公桌上摆好。OpenedBoehm of computerto shake the head, withhavingseveralpoints of disappointedtoneis continue say.
打开了电脑的贝姆摇着头,用带着几分失望的语气继续说道。„Far more thanisunusual, the laterexplanationmatter that dragsis more serious, Icannot find outanylet the reason that Chinachoosesto settle a quarrel and make peace with the parties involvedsufficiently. Ihave said that copes withStarry Sky Technologywith the anti-trust probeis a verystupiddecision, now the White Houseevenplans that usedMinistry of Justiceis the sixyears ago patentpurchasesreverses a verdictisstupidto the extreme! Theyare believing, only then can theyhandle the samematter? Toonaive!”
“何止是不寻常,拖的越晚说明事情越严重,我想不出任何足以让华国选择息事宁人的理由。我早就说过,用反垄断调查对付星空科技是一件很蠢的决定,现在白宫甚至打算利用司法部为六年前的专利收购案翻案更是愚蠢到了极点!他们是在认为,只有他们才能做同样的事情吗?太天真了!”
If fiveyears ago, besides the reason without done, thismatterwas donewas also done.
如果是五年前,除了没有这么干的理由之外,这种事情做了也就做了。At that timestampedStarry Sky Technology, withstamping an anthad no difference.
那时候一脚踩死星空科技,和踩死一只蚂蚁没什么区别。Butnow the international situation, is the international influence, or the technological strength, already and previouspresidentsituationwas completely different.
但现在无论是国际形势,还是国际影响力,亦或者技术实力,都已经与上一届总统在任时的情况完全不同了。Especiallytakes the failureandsparks/Mars that Aresplansto rescue and imcrcorganizationunveilsfor the watershedofficially, more and more countriesstartto acknowledge, the center of the world has displaced the center of Pacific Oceanfromintersection of Times Square.
尤其是以阿瑞斯计划的失败、火星救援以及imcrc组织正式揭牌为分水岭,越来越多的国家开始承认,世界的中心已经从时代广场的十字路口偏移到了太平洋的中心。If the bureaucratsa littlestrategic point of White Housecanfindslightly,inSoutheast AsiaandCentral Asialike the cross-regionalelectrical network of spider webgeneralspread, alreadyNorth Americainclean that the influence of this/shouldregionnibbles.
如果白宫的官僚们稍微有点战略眼光就能够发现,正在东南亚与中亚地区如同蛛网一般蔓延的跨区域电网,已经将北美在该区域的影响力蚕食的一干二净。Evenbecausesparks/MarsrescuesisChinain the positive factor that in the international communitywon, as well asradiation effect of cross-regionalelectrical networkineconomic growthtoarea coverage, has made more and more small countriesopen the front dooron own initiative.
甚至于因为火星救援为华国在国际社会上赢得的正面因素,以及跨区域电网对覆盖区域内经济增长的辐射效应,已经让越来越多的小国主动敞开了大门。Under the bigbackground, the bynational lawtries a Chinahigh-tech corporationlike this, not onlycannot ask foranyadvantage, insteadwill makebigpile of trouble.
在这样的大背景下,以国内法去审判一家华国的高科技企业非但讨不到任何好处,反而会惹来一大堆麻烦。Naturally......
当然……Perhaps the White House is also involuntary.
也许白宫也是身不由己。Butthiswas notBoehmhas the matter that the qualificationscomplained.
但这就不是贝姆有资格去抱怨的事情了。Transfers the ball pen in hand, Carrelwithseeming likesaidin the tone of ponder.
转着手中的圆珠笔,卡瑞尔用像是在沉思的语气说道。„Thatis the matter that influential figureworries about, sincenowmatterhas happened, stoppingisimpossible, wetake advantage of opportunity, butforgood. Ionlywantto knownow,what the Chinacountermeasureis?”
“那是大人物去操心的事情,现在既然事情已经发生,停下是不可能的,我们顺势而为就好。我现在只想知道,华国的反制措施是什么?”
, Heshruggedto continue saying that „thisrelates to the next two daysoperation strategies, as well as can we a relaxedweekend.”
顿了顿,他耸了耸肩继续说道,“这关系到我们明后两天的操作策略,以及我们能不能过一个轻松的周末。”„Sentences the Chinaactionto be very difficultin advance, nowtheyexceedus at least intwocrucial fields, whichtheoreticallytheychoosebeginto have the possibilityat the same time,”bitesto set pen to paper the lid, Boehm of thrust build-uphas racked brainssome little time, continued saying that „Iwill favorthem may lodge the protesttoday, will leavecushiontimetoWhite House, will then release the firstcountermeasurenext Monday......”
“预判华国的举措很困难,现在他们至少在两个关键领域上胜过我们,理论上他们选择哪一边动手都是有可能的,”咬着笔盖,已经进入工作状态的贝姆苦思冥想了好一会儿,才继续说道,“我更倾向于他们今天可能会提出抗议,给白宫方面留出一个缓冲时间,然后在下周一出台第一条反制措施……”„Youthought that whichdomaintheypossiblytodo begin?”
“你觉得他们可能对哪个领域动手?”„Does not know,whichhas the possibility, Isuggested that weoperatetodayshouldbe primarilyselling, appropriatewithdrawspart of fundbalancedrisks. Especiallywea while ago the West coastpublicorporation service corporation in heavywarehouse, and electric powerrelatedenterprise...... alsohadTeslaandMobilthesetwomain character, butwedid not seemto betonthem, shouldnot relate.”
“不知道,哪都有可能,我建议我们今天操作应该以减仓为主,适当的撤出一部分资金平衡风险。尤其是我们前段时间重仓的西海岸公共事业公司,以及电力相关企业……还有特斯拉和美孚这两位主角,不过我们好像没在他们身上下注,应该没关系。”Carrelhit a soundto refer.
卡瑞尔打了个响指。„Great idea, weto think that together.”
“好主意,我们想到一块儿去了。”Boehmcurls the lipin the heart, the heartsaid that clearlyisIwantsto come out.
贝姆在心中撇了撇嘴,心说分明都是我想出来的。However, in any casenowat the early morningmeeting of company, they are notperson on a ship, thereforehehas not been calculatingforthissmallmatter.
不过,反正现在也不是在公司的晨会上,他们都是一条船上的人,所以他也就没为这点小事儿斤斤计较了。Entireonein the morning, performance in the capital marketis uneventful, like the dark cloud of out of the windowalmoststay still, boredlettingpersonsomeat heartis not comfortable.
整个一上午,资本市场上的表现都还算风平浪静,就像窗外几乎静止不动的乌云,无聊的让人有些心里不舒坦。Is chewing the sandwich, curls upwards the both feetto sitBoehmbeforedeskis staring at the net press in computerscreen, carried the coffeeto drinkone.
嘴嚼着三明治,翘着双脚坐在办公桌前的贝姆盯着电脑屏幕中的网络新闻,端起咖啡喝了一口。„Carrel.”
“卡瑞尔。”„Howfriend of mine.”
“怎么了我的朋友。”„Youdid not think that the morningtrend was a little excessively steady?”
“你不觉得上午的走势有点平稳过头了吗?”„You want to say that thisis the tranquility before storm?”
“你想说这是暴风雨之前的宁静?”„Ihavethisidea,”Boehmlooked atdark cloud outside eye piece, probablywas saying that listenstooneself, talked overlow voice, „weknow that itwill come, what Iwantto know, concretewasseveral.”
“我是有这种想法,”贝姆看了一眼窗外的乌云,像是在说给自己听似的,小声念叨,“我们都知道它会来,但我想知道的是,具体是几号。”„Mentioningfrom now on the dayison Thursday.”
“说起来今天是星期四。”Was madeto be confusedbythisnot making sensewords, Boehmlooked at his to work together.
被这句无厘头的话弄得一头雾水,贝姆看了自己的那位同事一眼。„Yes, how?”
“是的,怎么了?”„Iwaited for a month of movie to screentodayfinally.”
“我等了一个月的电影今天终于要上映了。”Boehm: „......”
贝姆:“……”
The fatherspecialis discussing the matterwithyou, did youandIsay the movie?
老子特么在和你讨论正事儿,你和我说电影?In the computerscreen, the newscontinuesto show.
电脑屏幕中,新闻继续放映着。AboutBrazilianValeIron oreCompanyannounced that the news of production increasejustended, next is the Umicoregroup of Belgiumannounced that invests1 billioneurosnewly-builtchemical industry parkinSoutheast Asia, forfilling the news of Asia-Pacificdemandgaptolithiumcathodematerial.
关于巴西淡水河谷铁矿石公司宣布增产的消息刚刚结束,下一条便是比利时的优美科集团宣布在东南亚地区投资10亿欧元新建一座化工园区,用于填补亚太地区对锂负极材的需求缺口的消息。
The attentionwill returnonBoehmtocomputerto find,thesenewsas ifhave an unusualrule.
将注意力重新放回到电脑上的贝姆发现,这些新闻似乎有一种奇特的规律。That is on averageinevery10news, 5 are Chinais related.
那便是平均每十条新闻之中,就有五条是和华国相关的。Even if not the direct correlation, at least is also indirectrelated.
哪怕不是直接相关,至少也是间接相关的。For exampleValeIron oreCompany in Brazilannounced the production increase, wasbecauseSoutheast Asiacapital constructionmarketdrove the oil priceto risea while agohot, butaccording toprofessionalanalysis in theirinvestment bank, cross-regionalelectrical networkplayed the extremelyimportantrole......
比如巴西的淡水河谷铁矿石公司宣布增产,是因为前段时间东南亚地区基建市场火爆带动了铁矿石价格上涨,而根据他们投行内的专业人士分析,跨区域电网在其中扮演了极其重要的角色……Whywill presentsohugedemandgapas for the lithiumcathodematerial, matter that is not no need saying that nowsomepeopleare even studying, mustintegrate the futures marketto trade the modifiedpdmsmaterial.
至于锂负极材为什么会出现如此庞大的需求缺口,更是不必多说的事情,现在甚至有人在研究,要将改性pdms材料纳入期货市场进行交易。Whenheis thinking deeply about the back of thesenewswhetherdisclosedwhatimportantinvestment information, standsin the net presslive broadcastsin the host, suddenlystaffreceived a paperfromnearby the hand of assistantsor.
就在他思索着这些新闻的背后是否透露出了什么重要的投资信息的时候,站在网络新闻直播间里的主持人,忽然从旁边的助理还是工作人员的手中接过了一张纸条。Sweptcontent on a paperin a hurry, the complexion of newshostinstantaneouslychanges.
匆匆扫了一眼纸条上的内容,新闻主持人的脸色瞬间一变。Even if away from a screen, Boehmstillin the expression that canturn hostilefromthathost, read out a unusualflavor.
即便是隔着一层屏幕,贝姆也能从那位主持人变脸的表情中,读出一丝不寻常的味道。Thismattersometimes happened in the television newsplatformin the net pressplatform.
这种事情无论是在网络新闻平台还是在电视新闻平台上都是时有发生的。Moreoveroften the news of temporaryemergency broadcast, is the seriousnews.
而且往往临时插播的新闻,都是不得了的消息。HoweverinBoehmis preparingto curl upwards the leather shoesondeskto put, listens to the news of thistemporaryemergency broadcastearnestlytime, the newshostreceivestwowords, almostmakeshimfallfrom the office chair.
然而就在贝姆正准备将翘在办公桌上的皮鞋放下去,认真听这段临时插播的新闻的时候,新闻主持人接下来说的两句话,却是差点让他从办公椅上摔下去。„...... Under an emergency broadcastimportant news.”
“……下面插播一条要闻。”„According toustransmits the reportin the Chinareporter, beforeonehour, the Chinaenvironmental protection departmentinvolvesto investigate the core outletproject of East Asianelectric powertoCaliforniasuddenly.

“根据我们在华国的记者传来报道,就在一小时前,华国环保部门突然介入调查东亚电力对加利福尼亚的堆芯出口项目。根据知情人士透露,因为政策原因该项目将至少停工一个月,具体重新开工时间未定。”„Shit!”
“谢特!”Stared atBoehm of computerscreen, in the eyewas reappearinggraduallypanic-stricken, drop of cold sweatbeforehisvolumeslidgradually.
盯着电脑屏幕的贝姆,眼中渐渐浮现了一丝惊恐,一滴冷汗从他的额前渐渐滑了下来。Washeneglects.
是他疏忽了。Heunderestimated the determination of Chinaperson.
他低估了华国人的决心。
The counter-attack of Chinais actually inevitable, even if theirdownstairslooked that the security of front doorknows.华国的反击其实是必然的,哪怕是他们楼下看大门的保安都知道。Hehas not thought,allwill comesosuddenly, suddenlymakestohimradicallywithout enough timedeploysahead of time......
只是他没想到,一切会来得如此突然,突然到他根本来不及做出提前部署……Allhave started.
一切就已经开始了。
