I sorta, I have a single idee fixed that I'm completely obsessed with in.
我一直堅信,在商業領域
On the business side which is that, if you're starting a company,
如果你要創建一家公司
if you're the founder, entrepreneur starting a company, you always want to aim for monopoly,
如果你是一名創業者,企業家,你肯定希望壟斷市場
and that you want to always avoid competition. Hence, competition is for losers.
避免競爭。因此,只有失敗者才相互競爭
Something we'll be talking about today.
我們今天就來談談這個問題
I'd like to start by saying something about the basic idea of
首先我想要講一個基本問題
when you start one of these companies how you go about,creating value?
如何給公司創造價值
And this question, what makes a business valuable?
什么使得生意有價值?
And I wanna, suggest that there's basically, a very simple very simple formula that
我認為可以用一個簡單的公式來說明
you, have a valuable company two things are true.
對于一個有價值的公司,無外乎以下兩點
Number one, that it creates X dollars of value for the world.
一,公司為世界創造了X美元的價值
And number two, that you capture Y% of X.
二,你占有X美元中的Y%
And the critical thing that I think people always miss in the sort of analysis
問題是人們在分析時經常會忽略一點
is that X and y are completely independent variables, and so X can be very big.
那就是X和Y是完全獨立的變量,所以X可能很大
Y can be very small. X can be of intermediate size.
而Y很小,亦或X可能是一個適中的值
And if Y is, is reasonably big you can still get a very big business.
但只要Y很大,你仍然能賺很多
So, to create a valuable company you have to basically,
因此,要創立一個有價值的公司
both create something of value and capture some fraction of the value of what you've created.
你必須創造出價值,并且獲取該價值的一部分
