Q:What is your latest idea of investing in China? And if you are going to do some investments in China, which industries will be your priorities and why?
您对在中国投资有兴致吗?若是在中国投资的话,最看好哪个行业?
巴菲特:China is a huge market and there are more possibilities because of its size. My partner Charles Thomas Munge looks at China a lot. We focus on not price but valuation of companies. We do close research on the companies and try to buy the whole business when we invest. During the last 50 years, the population grew rapidly in China and it was full of talent and people resources. Some interruptions will not disturb its development. China and the US will become two superpower economies in the future. We do appreciate big investment opportunities in China as this country has more chances.
中国是一个很大的市场,拥有极度多的可能性。我和我的合作同伴Charles Thomas Munge有好多关于中国的会商和钻研,我们注沉公司的价值而非股票价值,但愿采办下整个企业以进走运营。在从前的50年,中国人丁飞速发展,人丁盈利巨大。一些荆棘并不会影响中国发展的脚步。钟注美将来会是两大经济强国。若是在中国能找到相宜的行业、相宜的功夫、相宜的治理团队,我们会绝不犹豫的投资。
Q:You are one of the richest men in the world, as well as one of the most generous. What is your view of wealth? Is it established at the very beginning at a young age, or is it developed through different phases of your life?
您既是世界上最富有的人之一,也是最慷慨的人之一。您是若何对待财富的?这种观点是一路头就有的,还是逐步成立起来的?
A:This is a good question, about money. Money can buy most things, but it cannot buy time and love. I have only one thing that can count as luxury—a private jet. Other things are the same as yours. Money has no utility beyond certain point and the usage is the same to everyone. Charity can change life of many people. My wife and I both agree that we should spend money to solve the important societal problems. For example, universities in the US have external funding, but the diseases curing in Africa may not have funding.
Money can bring many interesting experiences. I enjoy this game of investing. However, more stuff does not mean happier. Money cannot buy love. When people try to control their kids through money, it may bring disasters. I believe taking care of family is very important.
巴菲特:这是个好问题,我们来谈谈金钱。金钱很有效,但它买不到两样器材:功夫和爱。我有一样器材能够算作奢侈品——个人飞机,其他器材都和你们一样。在超过某个特定节点之后,金钱就失去它的效用了。慈悲能够扭转好多人的生涯,我和我太太都以为我们应该把金钱用在解决社会问题上。好比美国的大学有好多资金,而非洲的疾病医治资金却很欠缺。
金钱能够带来好多有趣的履历,我享受投资。但是,占有更多的器材不见得会更欢乐。金钱无法买来爱,当人们试图通过金钱去节造自己的孩子时,可能会带来苦难性的了局。我以为关照好家人是很沉要的。
