如果不了解Ray Smith,你就很容易被他的行为举止和不起眼的相貌所愚弄。然而就是他,把Bell Atlantic——一度毫无生气的为美国中部大西洋各州提供服务的电话公司,转变成一个典型的数字时代的企业公司,95年或再晚些时候,该公司将陆续推出一系列新的视频、网络以及无线方面的用户服务。 电话工业的局外人,很少听说过这位57岁的Smith先生。但在1994年早些时候,当他对收购Tele-Communica-tions公司——美国最大的电缆提供商进行大胆投标时,方才使其一举成名。虽然这一收购行动未获成功,但Smith及其雄心勃勃的宏伟计划却突然成为美国公众瞩目的中心。
If you do not know Ray Smith, you are easily fooled by his behavior and humble looks. Yet he turned Bell Atlantic, the once lifeless telephony company serving the Midwestern states of the United States, into a typical corporate enterprise in the digital age, and in 95 or later, the company will roll out one Series of new video, network and wireless user services. An outsider in the telephone industry, who rarely heard of the 57-year-old Mr. Smith. But earlier in 1994, when he made a bold bid for the acquisition of Tele-Communica- tions, the nation’s largest cable provider, he made his mark. Despite this unsuccessful takeover, Smith and his ambitious ambitious program suddenly became the center of public attention in the United States.
