在微软价值达到5000亿美元时——在扣除通货膨胀因素后,这意味着我们短暂成为全世界最有价值的公司——我对我朋友沃伦•巴菲特(Warren Buffett)说,公司价值被高估的CEO应该怎么办?我应该说,“嘿,我们被高估了吗?身在其中是种很古怪的感觉。即便你知道这家公司未来的收益将比现在高两倍,但哪怕未来光明,这种市盈率也太高了。
This was particularly because, back then, companies were using stock options as the rewardmechanism. You gave somebody enough stock to buy them a summer place. Next thing youknow, they have 10 summer places. They have a hard time getting to them all. The person whocomes in later, they have zero summer places, because the assumption of that future growthis already built in. That’s the time we moved away from using stock options as a big part of ourcompensation.
特别是因为,在当时,公司用股票期权作为奖励机制。你给一些人的股票足够让他们买下一处避暑别墅。然后你发现,他们有10处避暑别墅。他们很难把所有地方都去到。来晚的人一处避暑别墅都没有,因为对未来增长的假设已经确立。那时起我们就不再把股票期权作为薪酬中的一大块了。
What’s your take of Alibaba as a company, and beyond that, the role China is playing in aglobal, digital world?
