巴菲特名言
你所找尋的出路就是,想出一個好方法,然後持之以恒,盡最大可能,直到把夢想變成現實。但是,在華爾街,每五分鍾就互相叫價一次,人們在你的鼻子底下買進賣出,想做到不為所動是很難的。
——巴菲特

Our equity investment in the capital city will get $ 3.5 billion in funds for acquisitions ABC ABC for the capital city, and perhaps the effectiveness of the ABC can not in a short few years, immediate, but we are very patient littleDo not hurry, after all, even the talent and hard work is ready, or need time to ferment, even if you let the nine women pregnant at the same time, can not let a child born a month. In order to demonstrate our confidence, especially with the management signed an agreement, in a certain period, our right to vote will be handed over as CEO Tom Murphy (or successor Dan Boke) to handle.

我們的股權投資讓資本城可以獲得36億美元的資金對美國廣播公司ABC進行並購,雖然相對於資本城而言,ABC的效益很難在短時期內有所見效,但我們還是非常有耐心,因為我們深知就算才華與努力兼備,還需要時間來發酵,就算你可以同時讓九個女人懷孕,也不太可能讓這些小孩一個月就出生。為了傳遞我們自身的信心,和公司的管理階層簽訂了一項協議,在一段時期內,我們的投票權將交給擔任CEO的湯姆墨菲(或是接任高級經理人的丹柏克)去處理。實際上,是我和查理主動提出了這項提案,同時我們還自我限製了一些出售股份的條件,這樣的動作主要是為了極大地確保我們出售的股份不會落到沒有征得現有管理階層同意的人士身上,這一點和幾年前我們與吉列刮胡刀以及和華盛頓郵報簽訂的協議類似。
