我們那時一個香港人,把vc等等騙得團團轉,不過finance一較真,問盈利計算中為什么用某些值,他就要我先跟他算好,解釋清楚各種scenario的probability, outcome, and etc. 不過我要控制自己不要沖到前臺,而要為他思考好一些,之前替她準備好讓他應對。她呢不止前臺風光,也要把個方面意見帶回來,我們分析思考。
One of the most important skills an entrepreneur can have is the ability to predict change and act on it. Predicting change is extremely hard in general, but there are some changes that are identifiable to someone who is inquisitive and keeps his mind open. For example, one quick way to predict change is to see what has happened in the developed Japan, which may be happening right now in the almost-developed Korea, and will probably happen some time in the developing China. Nevertheless, not everything that happened in Japan will happen in China, and even it does happen, it will probably happen not in the same way. To distinguish the pearls from sands, analysis of the context and the fundamental driven forces in such cases are critically important.
That’s just one simple example of the contributions I can make. I will probably stop here and not let my thought going too far. Somehow it is an open question whether this post can really help me in finding someone who wants to lead a start-up and wants me as the back engine of the start-up.
