课程的目的不是把参加者培养成千人一面的慷慨激昂的传道士和东拉西扯的宴会司仪,而是让他们成为自身的“升级版”,在更大程度上实现自我价值。这正是巴菲特通过这门课程做到的事情。
It is not intended to turn them all into identical tub-thumpers and rambling toastmasters, but to make them more realised versions of themselves. And that is precisely what it achieved with Mr Buffett.
纪录片中最有启发意义的时刻之一是讲述巴菲特在所罗门兄弟(Salomon Brothers)的投资。在1987年市场危机期间,他买下了这家投行的一笔股份。纪录片展示了那个时代的华尔街画面,其中有许多穿着清一色黑西服、看上去志得意满的年轻人。巴菲特不信任投资银行家,但看到了所罗门兄弟蕴藏的机会。他做了一笔好买卖,拿到的可转换优先股每年支付9%的利息,还能在3年后转换为更高价格的普通股,或者在5年后赎回。
One of the most instructive moments in the documentary describes Mr Buffett’s investment in Salomon Brothers. During the market crisis of 1987, he bought a stake in the investment bank. The documentary shows footage from that era of Wall Street, with lots of identical young men in dark suits looking extremely pleased with themselves. Mr Buffett mistrusted investment bankers but saw an opportunity in Salomon. He snagged a good deal, an option that paid 9 per cent a year and could be converted into common stock at a higher price after three years or redeemed over five.
