Next morning, the London weather is as before dreary.
In the morning does not have what schedule, has the breakfast with Meyer, Eric has been reading hundred generations and the BMG two big Record Company wealth newspapers in the villa of garden avenue, then received a call.
Soon, Meyer led an expression timid young girl to walk, who actually when was previous time came London to participate in Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show knows Diwayi.
The girl puts on pink long funds hooded jacket, bare two tall and slender little white legs, the foot is stepping on pair of plate shoes, drops around the neighbor young girl appearance that to the next door, appears slim and graceful.
Eric notes the girl expression constrained appearance, has patted with a smile side, said: „Isn't cold?”
Feels Eric not to have the temperate smiling face of alienation, Diwayi relaxes immediately, walks to sit down by Eric cleverly, said: „A little, but.”
Eric carried the coffeepot on front tea table to the girl but actually one coffee, handed side, said: „Yes, attractive is most important.”
Diwayi politeness expressed gratitude, holds the coffee small mouth to sip, the nimble and resourceful pupil in all directions is actually sizing up.
Meyer must go to group United Kingdom subsidiary company Headquarters, Diwayi meets, the girl has changed clothes, said goodbye after Eric went out leaves.
After Meyer walks, Diwayi relaxed several points, has changed a more optional posture by Eric, but also looks inquisitively to the document in his hand: „Eric, what is this?”
„Financial reporting, you will not be interested,” Eric has demonstrated to the young girl slightly, also asked: „Don't you need to attend class today?”
„But today Saturday.”
„Oh, I have forgotten,” wealth report of Eric in 1998 hundred generations of companies in hand turned one page, along with tastes: „Your Papa was Mama what kind of recently?”
„Is very good, but Papa went to Asia, Mama not in London.”
Eric previous time is having deep feeling to not too the accent parents to Diwayi Family that said curiously: „Who takes care of you?”
„Where need they look, I am an Sir, the younger sister has the maid to look.”
Eric looked under the watch, but also less than 8 : 30: „That definitely has not had the breakfast is right?”
„I little have the breakfast,” girl nodded gently, said: „After I get out of bed, calls you, but also was worried that you will not manage me again.”
„Little girl always does not have the breakfast not to be good,” Eric was saying, takes up the cell phone, but has thought the moment, cannot think of any number, will call for this matter the female assistant definitely is complained reads, will therefore set out saying: „Walks, leading you to eat a thing.”
Diwayi corners of the mouth curved nod: „Good.”
Although is in April, but London early morning temperature as before be only about ten degrees, are bringing strong damp and cold.
They go out of the villa, Eric wear a windproof coat, does not have anything to feel actually that girl actually obviously somewhat rustlings, the slender body as if reduced.
Eric feels somewhat funnily, said: „Can wear my clothes?”
Diwayi has sized up Eric windproof coat, although is not the long funds, but also sufficiently wraps her whole person. However, notes the smiling face of Eric corners of the mouth, the girl is actually some small retrogradations nods: „Eric, this issue usually cannot ask.”
„Oh, it seems like it is my mistake.”
Eric was saying, really took off windproof coat, binds on the girl.
Chilly damp and cold was isolated instantaneously outside, feels warm, but also is having the aura of man, Diwayi cheek somewhat gives off heat slightly, in the lenient long sleeve finds out the small hand, pulls the arm of side man, has hesitated one slightly, said boldly: „Eric, you look like my boyfriend very much.”
„This stem I know, but usually is in the night shop the boy picks up the girl to use.”
„I have not cracked a joke,” in the Diwayi small expression is bringing some discontentedly, in an instant also curiously said: „Have you such picked up the girl in the night shop?”
„I, I was old, did not go to the night shop.”
„Hehe.”
The imperial Garden Hotel in the intersection, Eric directly leads the girl to enter the hotel dining room from the street.
Enters the dining room, Diwayi takes off to give the attendant windproof coat, they looked for a position to sit down.
„I take fruit salad, Apple, strawberry, banana and pineapple, do not put too much salad dressings . Moreover, takes one cup of milk again, um, these.”
The attendants remember earnestly, changes Eric: „Mr. Williams?”
„Gave me one coffee and Times is OK.”
The attendants nod, turn around to leave.
Diwayi arm on the tabletop, said: „Eric, don't you eat thing?”
„You have not gotten out of bed I have eaten.”
„Do you lead me to have the breakfast specially?”
„Is very affected?”
Diwayi was actually the earnest place a small head: „Has Papa has not asked my had the breakfast.”
„This I did not have the means to help your Papa explain.”
„A he always very busy appearance, Mama is also, I think that they surely do not have you to be busy.”
„I rest this morning exactly, otherwise does not have the time to pay attention your.”
„You can definitely,” why girl not know, suddenly is very assured, said: „Eric, I have watched the «Iron Man» preview, is very cool, my can The Day After Tomorrow attend the premiere?”
„Good, I make Mary have several invitations to give you, if your Papa Mama The Day After Tomorrow comes back, can the same place.”
„They do not come back, can I take the friend of mine, this will have the face very much.”
„Relates to the face the issue, I must help, five enough?”
Diwayi makes an effort to nod, smiles tenderly: „Un, sufficed.”
Has had the breakfast, they return to the Eric mansion once more.
Diwayi enjoys obviously very much with the feeling that Eric is together, although in the villa has many entertainment facilities, the girl of cat side Eric, broken was talking about all kinds of topics throughout the morning.
At noon has made Chairman Corrin Suosigaite of hundred generations of groups, close to 12 o'clock, Eric is leading small tail once more Diwayi arrives at the imperial Garden Hotel in intersection, this time talk place actually in the Minjiang River dining room in Garden Hotel.
12 o'clock, Corrin Suosigaite also on time arrives, the opposite party is a hair gray middle-aged person, the 40-50 years old appearance, wears one garnet suit, is tall, has several points to have a high and respected position obviously.
Saw that Eric leads a little girl to appear, in Corrin Suosigaite heart is somewhat disgruntled, both sides exchanged greetings several, sat down respectively, Corrin Suosigaite very much straightforwardly said: „Eric, about with the cooperation of Firefly electron, company Board of Directors thinks that this will injure to started the low phonograph record sales volume . Moreover, the Fireflyer player in the measure that against pirating takes is really barely satisfactory, therefore, we will not agree.”
Sits in Eric nearby peacefully Diwayi has not thought that opposite that looks like the uncle of gentleman opens the mouth so not to be impolite very much, immediately knits the brows slightly, looked at Eric, hopes very much he can make the counter-attack immediately.
„Mentioned pirating, I remember exactly, because the promotion of personal computing recording optical disk drive, last year was only the North America native place, the sales volume of blank CD disc achieved 130 million, calculates according to 20 USD phonograph record prices that this was equal to Record Company lost the 2.6 billion USD sales volume.” Before Eric hints the meal that the attendant will deliver the sweet snack gives nearby girl first , to continue to talk volubly: „As for the global market, I have not seen the statistics, but wants to come to rise one time, this is the basic reason that the phonograph record profession declines. Was similar to Hollywood in the past complied with the recording tape market to be the same, accepts the digital music player channel, was prevents the phonograph record profession to move toward the best solution of collapse thoroughly.”
Corrin Suosigaite has not paid attention to the information in this aspect obviously, knit the brows slightly, but said: „Eric, you said things just to frighten people.”
„I have read hundred generations of group recent five years of company wealth newspapers ahead of time, compared with last year, proceeded to push, 1997, 1996, 1995 and 1994 for these years, the year net profit of hundred generations of groups, although has fluctuated, but basically maintained at the 400 million pound about, but, last year, if not calculate that sold the Viking phonograph record the secondary income, the year net profit of hundred generations of groups be only the 310 million pound, compared fell suddenly in the past 25%. If you do not take the action, the following several years of days definitely will not feel better.”
„Cooperates with Firefly Group can recall the phonograph record sales volume?” Corrin Suosigaite this time was stabbed obviously the sore spot, said: „The sales model of Firefly electron completely in the foundation of destruction phonograph record profession . Moreover, although the sales result of entity phonograph record falls suddenly, but the Yahoo music store last year global sales volume did not arrive at 300 million USD, compared to be nothing to speak of the entire phonograph record profession as before.”
„Corrin, you used mistakenly the comparison goal, the Yahoo music store 1997 sales volume, only then 50 million USD, in 1998 approached 300 million USD, the rate of increment achieved 600%, we did not expect that this year's rate of increment will achieve 600% as before, even if turned one time, the sales volume of whole year can achieve 600 million USD, continued according to this rate of increment, in less than five years, the earning scale of Yahoo music store will go far beyond five big Record Company any, even was the sum totals of all your Record Company phonograph record sales volumes.”
Corrin Suosigaite shakes the head saying: „Eric, cannot achieve, you do not have enough content.”
The Eric booth lets go: „Therefore, this is the issue that we must discuss today. The cooperation, hundred generations obtain a brand-new earning channel, we can also have enough content, this is a win-win matter.”
„Eric, this is more like single Ying of Firefly system. You not only held the complete profit of digital music player, but must carve up 30% incomes from our Record Company hand, what is more serious, the domination of platform completely grasps in the Firefly system hand, you thought that we will comply with this completely one-sided cooperation?”
Corrin Suosigaite was saying, although words as before gratefully, but the expression actually obviously softened.
Eric has not responded to Corrin Suosigaite interrogation directly, but said: „In fact, the Firefly electron started to discuss analyzes the plan, we plan to strip alone the Fireflyer player, I think that you affirmed obtained the related news?”
„You did not plan that makes the Fireflyer player service go on the market alone?” Corrin Suosigaite blurted out his guess, but lived in an instant, the vision closely was staring at Eric: „Your meaning is, is the Firefly electron willing to accept the capitals of other shareholders?”
Eric shakes the head, corrects, said: „Accurate, is Fireflyer Corporation.”
Corrin Suosigaite silent moment, said: „Eric, I need to see your resolution plans first.”
„Specific plan has not taken shape, but, I can make my helping cut hair in the afternoon a draft to you,” Eric was explaining, said: „Moreover, I can guarantee a point, after the resolution, because no longer needs to bear the research cost for other parent company business agencies, in the profit margin reality in Fireflyer Corporation will obtain the large scale promotion.”
„, Eric, we confessed that the Firefly electron, how many stockholder's rights or can Fireflyer Corporation transfer to give hundred generations?”
„8%.”
„Were too few, Eric, at least also needs 20%.”
„Corrin, five big Record Company, each takes away 20%, what do I also remain?”
Has sat in nearby peacefully Diwayi hears Eric these words, does not know that seized anything to smile, pū has laughed. Realized that her malpractice, the girl was sorry hastily spits the tongue to them.
By Diwayi has hit Xiacha, Corrin Suosigaite mentality had not actually been affected: „Eric, we are clear, you do not need to win over complete five big Record Company, so long as there is a large-scale phonograph record group to ally, was enough regarding the Yahoo music store of present stage. Moreover, so long as the Yahoo music store had proven own potential, several other Record Company is forced on own initiative, has to join.”
„You said is very right,” Eric nods, said: „But, 8% transfer of share rights proportions, pass through us to think similarly. I may not have to give a somewhat low figure then everybody mutually to negotiate crosscut saw several months intentionally, everybody's time is very tight, I do not hope such to delay. We can calculate, the digital music player replace the traditional portable player became the foregone conclusions . Moreover, as a result of the Bucas strip-chat recorder pocket-sized portability, the market absorption capacity of digital music player at least can achieve the 100 million stage in the future. When the time comes, even if the Fireflyer player only holds 70% market shares, this also will be the player sales volume of every year 70 million stage, the average selling price of Fireflyer player according to 350 USD computations, 15% net profit rates, every year net profit will achieve 3.6 billion 75 million USD, after IPO, according to 30 times of market profit computations, the Fireflyer Corporation market value can break through 100 billion USD with ease, hundred generations of groups will own stocks 8%, will not be every year profit draws bonus, this stockholder's rights on value 8 billion USD, this have been equal with hundred generations of group current market values.”
Corrin Suosigaite expression is fluctuating, easily has not actually submitted, said: „Eric, this is only the most ideal numerical model that you make, the actual situation how, no one knows that now many family/home electron factory in making digital music player, is very difficult to determine that the Fireflyer player can decline in the next few years, even if not decline, in situation that the competition intensifies, you are impossible to continue maintain the too high profit margins. Moreover, but sells a company of model of pure digital music player, market value 100 billion USD, this is impossible.”
„Corrin, if you only see Fireflyer player model of product, this will make me despise very much. What Firefly system layout is a complete digital music ecosystem, Fireflyer player one point, perhaps it can bring the majority of profits for the entire ecosystem, but if other manufacturers only see this point, they are unable to surpass us absolutely. Even, even if they had completely understood the complete layout of Firefly system, they are unable to exceed us as before, because the Firefly system has cast off very far distance them.”
