„Two gentlemen, these are according to the office that your needs to choose, this is the Burbank area, the Santa Monica area, Oh, this is nearby Hollywood, the price is quite relatively expensive.” “两位先生,这些是根据你们的需要挑选出来的写字楼,这份是伯班克地区的,还有圣莫妮卡地区的,哦,这一份是好莱坞附近的,价格相对比较昂贵。” In real estate tendering agency hall, named Raymond Stee's real estate manager gives Eric and Jeffrey the material file skilled. Since decides to establish new Firefly Film Studio, first should rent a business location for the company, therefore there is a present situation. 房产中介公司大厅里,名叫雷蒙斯特的房产经纪人熟练地将资料文件递给艾瑞克和杰弗里。既然决定成立新的萤火虫电影公司,首先应该为公司租一个办公地点,于是有了现在的情形。 They is listening to Raymond Stee's introduction, while reads the material to discuss mutually. 两人一边听着雷蒙斯特的介绍,一边翻看着资料相互商议着。 Why does not know, in Eric felt that Raymond Stee looked his look is somewhat strange, as if somewhat is eager to try. Finally, in a conversation gap, Raymond Stee could not bear ask: „, Mr. Williams, are you that shoots «Home Alone» young Director?” 不知道为何,艾瑞克中感觉雷蒙斯特看自己的眼神有些怪怪的,似乎有些跃跃欲试。终于,在一次交谈间隙,雷蒙斯特忍不住问了出来:“请问,威廉姆斯先生,你是那个拍摄《小鬼当家》的年轻导演吗？” Eric has raised the eyebrow, looks at opposite party expression, the secret passage this middle-aged person should not be own bean noodles at present, nodded, Eric acknowledged own status refreshedly: „Mr. Raymond Stee, I am, what issue has?” 艾瑞克扬了扬眉,看着对方的神情,暗道眼前这个中年人应该不会是自己的粉丝吧,点了点头,艾瑞克爽快地承认了自己的身份:“雷蒙斯特先生,我就是,请问有什么问题吗？” Raymond Stee calmed down firmly the question, then said: „Is this, Mr. Williams, does not know that you are interested in the Beverly mansion, here just one set of Beverly Hills top the mansion, the area about 6000 square feet, are very near to Sunset Boulevard, good communications, what is most important is... The privacy is very good.” 雷蒙斯特确定了心中的疑问,接着道:“是这样的,威廉姆斯先生,不知道你对贝弗利豪宅感不感兴趣,我们这里刚好有一套贝弗利山顶豪宅,面积6000平方英尺左右,离日落大道很近,交通方便,最重要的是…私密性很好。” Speaking of the final several words, Raymond Stee's some expression non- natures, obviously, the opposite party looked at gossip of today's 《Los Angeles Metropolis News》 about Eric, temporary the thought of sales promotion mansion. 说到最后几个单词,雷蒙斯特的表情有些不自然,显然,对方是看了今天《洛杉矶都市报》关于艾瑞克的八卦,才临时起了推销豪宅的念头。 Has saying that the opportunity that this real estate manager seizes quite, Eric is feeling wronged to paparazzi that these seize every opportunity, center a sales promotion of this manager under Eric cherishes. 不得不说,这位房产经纪人抓住的时机相当好,艾瑞克正对那些无孔不入的狗仔们感到困扰,这位经纪人的一番推销正中艾瑞克下怀。 Nearby Jeffrey also very much did for the occasion at this time said the sentence: „Eric, I also thought that you need to change a residence, at your present net worth, all alone lives in northern Hollywood safely not too |.” 旁边的杰弗里此时也很应景地说了句:“艾瑞克,我也觉得你需要换一个住所了,以你现在的身家,孤身一人住在北好莱坞也不太丨安全。” Eric nodded, asks: „Words that Mr. Raymond Stee, I am interested, when can we look at the room?” 艾瑞克点了点头,问道:“雷蒙斯特先生,我感兴趣的话,我们什么时候能去看房？” In Raymond Stee heart one happy, immediately nods saying: „Now, the house-owner gives us plenary powers to act the mansion, key here.” 雷蒙斯特心中一喜,马上点头道:“现在就可以,房主将豪宅交给我们全权代理了,钥匙就在我们这里。” The Eric hear does not have the mood in the choice office, leaves behind a check to make Jeffrey decide that later driving leads Raymond Stee to arrive at the Beverly Hills village together. 艾瑞克听完也没心情在挑选写字楼,留下一张支票让杰弗里自行决定,之后开车带着雷蒙斯特一起来到贝弗利山庄。 According to Raymond Stee's direction, after a half hour, they arrive situated in a mansion on Beverly Hills outside: „Is here, Mr. Williams.” 按照雷蒙斯特的指引,半个多小时后,两人来到位于贝弗利山上的一栋豪宅外面:“就是这里,威廉姆斯先生。” Got out, Eric first sees a about two meters high fence, in the fence finds out the crowded emerald green crown. 下了车,艾瑞克首先看到的就是将近两米高的围墙,围墙内探出密集的翠绿树冠。 Raymond Stee introduced in side: „Mr. Williams, you look, the privacy of this mansion, the fence is quite high enough, in addition in the crowded vegetation, completely cuts off the risk that paparazzi have photographed surreptitiously. Moreover around this mansion does not have street light, around has two front doors, is very suitable your such public figure.” 雷蒙斯特在旁边介绍道:“威廉姆斯先生,你看,这栋豪宅的私密性相当好,围墙足够高,再加上里面密集的植被,彻底断绝了狗仔们偷拍的风险。而且这栋豪宅周围没有路灯,有前后两座大门,很适合您这样的公众人物。” Eric nods to say satisfied: „Raymond Stee, do we go to have a look?” 艾瑞克满意地点着头道:“雷蒙斯特,我们进去看看吧？” „Oh, naturally.” Raymond Stee pulls out the key to open the mansion front door hastily, is sideways to invite Eric to go advanced. “哦,当然。”雷蒙斯特连忙掏出钥匙打开豪宅大门,侧身邀请艾瑞克先进去。 „Please look, Mr. Williams, the main villa of deviation modernization style is the Edward Niles design firm designs, inside has four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, two kitchens. In the garage can anchor 10 car, outside has the open-air bathing pool, the pocket-sized basketball court, was right, passes the balconies in two buildings, can bird's eye view entire big Los Angeles, Los Angeles night the brilliantly illuminated scenery be charming...” “请看,威廉姆斯先生,偏向现代化风格的主体别墅是爱德华奈尔斯设计公司设计的,里面有四间卧室,七间浴室,两个厨房。车库里可以停靠10辆轿车,外面有露天浴池,袖珍篮球场,对了,通过二楼的阳台,可以俯瞰整个大洛杉矶,洛杉矶夜晚灯火辉煌的景色非常迷人…” Eric is listening to the introduction of manager skilled place, patiently transferred a probably 600 square meters mansion. 艾瑞克听着经纪人熟练地的介绍,耐心地将大概600平米的豪宅转了一遍。 „Raymond Stee, this mansion how much money?” “雷蒙斯特,这栋豪宅多少钱？” Raymond Stee has gawked, feels satisfied flood wild with joy very much, Eric has not looked at room to inquire about various at sixes and sevens issues like other endlessly, but asked the price directly, the success ratio of this business is very obviously big. 雷蒙斯特愣了一下,很快心中泛起一丝狂喜,艾瑞克没有像其他看房者那样喋喋不休地询问各种乱七八糟的问题,而是直接问起了价格,这桩生意的成功率显然很大。 Because the master in this mansion was lost in last year stock disaster, has to sell the beloved mansion license, but the opposite party has not actually arrived at the end of hills and rivers the situation, the price that starts out is quite on the other hand high, therefore this house has pressed in the Raymond Stee's tendering agency six months. 这栋豪宅的主人因为在去年的股灾中遭到损失,才不得不将心爱的豪宅挂牌出售,但对方却也没有到山穷水尽的地步,开出的价格相对来说比较高,因此这栋房子已经压在雷蒙斯特的中介公司将近半年的时间了。 Suppresses the joy in heart, Raymond Stee surface maintains composure saying: „2 million USD, Mr. Williams.” 压制住心中的喜悦,雷蒙斯特表面不动声色道:“200万美金,威廉姆斯先生。” The first response of Eric is such cheap, but thinks quickly now was in 1988, but was not the house price rises to the 21 st century of forcing girls into prostitution. It seems like occupying land area 11 square kilometers illusion manors that Michael Jackson purchased last year also 19 500,000 USD. Obviously, this mansion 2 million USD price is somewhat expensive. 艾瑞克的第一反应是这么便宜,不过很快想到现在是1988年,而不是房价涨到逼良为娼的二十一世纪。貌似迈克尔杰克逊去年购置的占地11平方公里的梦幻庄园也才1950万美金。显然,这栋豪宅200万美金的价格有些贵了。 Although Eric in present is not short of money, is actually not the fool, turns around to stare at real estate manager saying: „Raymond Stee, you also understands that I have the sincerity purchase very much, therefore, gives me an actual price, two million USD are obviously impossible.” 艾瑞克虽然现在手里不缺钱,却也不是冤大头,转身盯着房产经纪人道:“雷蒙斯特,你也明白,我是很有诚意购买的,所以,给我一个实际的价格吧,两百万美元显然不可能。” Raymond Stee reveals an anxiety the expression, said: „That, 1,950,000 USD, cannot be short again.” 雷蒙斯特露出一个肉疼的表情,道:“那么,195万美元,不能再少了。” „1 million.” Eric has started out own price. “100万。”艾瑞克开出了自己的价格。 Raymond Stee almost must jump, the surprise shouted one: „This is impossible!” 雷蒙斯特几乎要跳起来,诧异地喊了一声:“这不可能！” Now the Chinese has not been popular in North America settles down, therefore Raymond Stee for the first time meets this crazed orientalism to negotiate the first move - cuts in two at the waist. 现在华人还不流行在北美置业,因此雷蒙斯特还是首次遇到这种丧心病狂的东方式砍价第一招——腰斩。 As if receives greatest insult, Raymond Stee stem stiffening the neck: „Mr. Williams, if you bid like this, we do not need to discuss again.” 仿佛受到莫大侮辱似的,雷蒙斯特梗了梗脖子:“威廉姆斯先生,如果你这样出价的话,我们也没有必要再谈下去了。” Eric saw that the opposite party was angry, said with a smile hastily: „Good good, Raymond Stee, cracks a joke. But you did not have the sincerity, only cheap 50,000 USD.” 艾瑞克看出对方是真的生气了,连忙笑道:“好吧好吧,雷蒙斯特,开个玩笑而已。但你也太没诚意了,只便宜了5万美元。” Although Raymond Stee some were not as before happy, but the opposite party after all is a super client, if sells this set of mansion, he can also take a big commission, therefore the expression quickly returns to normal: „Mr. Eric, the house-owner in this set of mansion is not short of money, moreover you can appraise, in the villa one set has custom-made the furniture also to have other repairs luxuriously, spends cannot be less than 50 ten thousand USD, therefore the price opens very high, the opposite party is stated decisively 2 million USD, agreed with the preferential benefit of 100,000 USD after our persuasion. Therefore, 1,900,000 USD is the cheapest price.” 雷蒙斯特心里虽然依旧有些不高兴,不过对方毕竟是一个大客户,如果将这套豪宅卖出去,他也能抽一大笔佣金,因此表情很快恢复平静:“艾瑞克先生,这套豪宅的房主并不太缺钱,而且你可以让人鉴定一下,别墅里一整套豪华定制家具还有其他装修,花费不会少于50万美元,所以价格开得很高,原本对方是咬定200万美元的,经过我们一番劝说才同意了10万美元的优惠。所以,190万美元已经是最便宜的价格了。” Then, Raymond Stee on one waited for the appearance of Eric decision, apparently in the price did not have the leeway that discussed. 说完,雷蒙斯特就一副等待艾瑞克决定的模样,显然价格上已经没有了商量的余地。 Eric has thought deeply about the moment, he truly very much likes this set of villa, finally nodded: „Raymond Stee, if I decide to purchase, how long can live?” 艾瑞克思索了片刻,他确实很喜欢这套别墅,最终还是点了点头:“雷蒙斯特,如果我决定购买的话,多久能住进来？” Raymond Stee said: „If you can pay the entire funds, we can go through the handing-over procedure for you fully, within three days can move. If needs the bank loan, the time slightly is definitely longer.” 雷蒙斯特道:“如果您能支付全款的话,我们可以全力为你办理交接手续,三天之内就可以搬过来。而如果需要银行贷款的话,时间肯定稍微长一些。” Really is a money all-powerful country, Eric remembers a previous life friend to boast one in the experience that Los Angeles purchases homes, from all sides tossed about for one month to handle. 果然是一个金钱万能的国家啊,艾瑞克想起前世一位朋友吹嘘自己在洛杉矶买房的经历,前前后后折腾了一个多月才搞定。 Eric has finally chosen the entire funds, the tendering agency that two people return to Raymond Stee, Eric telephones to the Edward Lewis office, making the opposite party send an attorney of familiar real estate service to come, oneself were only responsible for filling in a check, remaining basically gave the personal attorney to be responsible for handling. 艾瑞克最终选择了全款,两个人返回雷蒙斯特的中介公司,艾瑞克打电话给爱德华刘易斯的事务所,让对方派了一个熟悉房产业务的律师过来,自己只负责填了一张支票,剩下的基本上交给了私人律师负责办理。 Jeffrey Hansson also chose one to be located in the Burbank office building to take the Firefly Film Studio business location, Eric looks at one to express satisfaction, the matter like this has decided. 杰弗里汉森也选好了一处位于伯班克的办公楼作为萤火虫电影公司的办公地点,艾瑞克看了一眼表示了满意,事情就这样定了下来。 Has bustled about for day, in the evening went home, Eric has swept one, discovery nearby paparazzi were also many, these fellows received this morning the stimulation of that gossip obviously, wants to fish the valuable news from oneself. 忙碌了一天,傍晚才回到家,艾瑞克只是扫了一眼,就发现附近的狗仔又多了起来,这些家伙明显受到了今天早上那条八卦的刺激,想要从自己身上捞一点有价值的新闻。 Regarding these people, Eric can only disguise not to see reluctantly. 对于这些人,艾瑞克只能无奈地假装没看见。 Has the supper to take a bath, Eric wears the loose home clothing/taking to come to the bedroom, thinks, started to write 《Pretty Woman》 script, has urged several times «Resident Evil» novels as for Micheal Klaus, the Eric direct selection is dragging first, Micheal Klaus urged to be used to it in any case, Eric that urged listened to listen to be also used. 吃过晚餐洗完澡,艾瑞克穿着宽松的居家服来到来到卧室,想了想,还是开始写起了《风月俏佳人》的剧本,至于迈克尔克劳斯催过几次的《生化危机》小说,艾瑞克直接选择先拖着,反正迈克尔克劳斯催啊催啊的也就习惯了,艾瑞克听着听着也跟着习惯了。 Afterward several days, Eric daytime with the Jeffrey busy Film Studio tenable matter, in the evening writes script, but this thinks with Drew and Aniston that matter, even if will be the media of harboring ulterior motives will fry maliciously for several days, the matter same gradually will cease finally also all activities with other star sex scandal, who knows that this matter actually tendency of getting bigger and bigger, the trend that mountain Yu will want will be getting more and more obvious. 随后的几天,艾瑞克白天跟着杰弗里忙碌电影公司成立的事情,晚上撰写剧本,而本以为与德鲁和安妮斯顿那档子事,哪怕是别有用心的媒体会狠狠炒上几天,事情最终也会跟其他明星绯闻一样渐渐偃旗息鼓,谁知道这件事却有一种越闹越大的倾向,山雨欲来的趋势越来越明显。
