譚新強:中國如何防範四個封閉
文章日期:2021年9月10日
【明報專訊】近日我有兩個家人,從加拿大往上海探親,聽到他們千辛萬苦的經歷,才深深體會到中國的治疫有多麼認真。出發前,當然先需要安裝健康碼,且要拿到綠色認證,所以他們就預先去當地一間化驗所做抗體測試。因為他們已接種兩針Pfizer/BioNTech疫苗,所以驗血報告就當然顯示有抗體。但當他們去到機場辦理登機手續時,卻因為健康碼仍然紅色,而竟然被拒絕登機。他們馬上感到彷徨,不明白為何被拒,就到處問人,結果一位來自內地的年輕女生,好心解釋他們去錯了地方,做錯了測試。
原來必須去一家中國人開的化驗所,做一個特別抗體測試,能辨認出抗體來源,是來自接種疫苗,還是來自自然感染,中國的要求是抗體必須來自疫苗,健康碼才可變為綠色。我的這兩個家人,一個是專科醫生,他太太是化驗師,都可算是行內人士,但竟然他們之前從未聽過有如此精準的測試,他們也佩服中國的化驗技術,非常先進。無論如何,結果他們就去了這間中國人開的化驗所,再做測試,證明抗體來自疫苗,健康碼轉綠,就第二次登機成功,到了上海後經過兩周隔離,現在與家人團聚,非常開心。
我絕對相信只有如此嚴謹政策,才可帶來如此清潔和安全的內地環境,每十萬人的COVID感染和死亡率,都是美國和整個西方的百分之一以下,的確值得被表揚!但我有兩個疑問,這個至今非常成功的零容忍政策,可否長期延續下去?另外,如要零容忍,中國幾乎必須長期維持封關狀態,此政策將帶來什麼後果,除預期內的,會否亦帶來一些意料之外的後果?
內地嚴謹封關料維持至明年底
中國當然不承認封關,仍不停說歡迎外國朋友來中國自己親眼看看情况,數天前更擴大前海面積7倍,繼續鼓勵香港融入大灣區云云,但事實仍是中國封關已近兩年,當然不會永遠,但如再封一年,已是一段很長時間,全球局勢已可出現風起雲湧變化。
從我家人親身經驗,除發現中國醫學化驗科技,一日千里外,另一更重要啟示是原來現在中國,是不容許和不歡迎任何曾經感染過COVID的人進入,其實這是一個頗為驚人和極端的政策!須知道,除抗體測試外,登機前、入境前後,當然亦要求每名旅客做多次核酸測試,確認即時沒有帶菌,所以抗體測試的重點並非找出帶菌者,而是真的拒絕任何曾經感染過COVID的人入境,包括已復原的人!
官方統計,全球測試出感染者數目已超過2.2億人,估計真實數字可能超出10億人,即是說,中國可能拒絕多達全球七分之一人口進入!再想一下,既然中國這麽用心設計出一套這麼精密的測試,加上健康碼和一系列隔離,以及索源追踪系統,更令我更相信這些嚴謹、接近封關的政策,必將維持一段頗長時間。再加上明年冬奧,和中國的政治時間表,不少人已意會到中國的嚴謹封關,大概率最快都將維持至明年底或2023年初。
有些人說,中國不會長期封關,只需全國約七成至八成人接種兩針後,即可馬上全面通關。我也希望是這樣,但我認為機會不大。首先現在全球最流行的Delta variant,傳染度比之前的高很多,R0可能高達8至9,所以Herd Immunity(群體免疫)的臨界點可能高達90%,再加上COVID的變異速度也超高,大大影響疫苗的有效度,亦需不停調校成分,所以整個Herd Immunity概念已沒甚意思。加上中國至今以傳統滅活技術疫苗有它的好處,較安全和較清楚長期副作用,但無法否認全新mRNA技術的疫苗,有效率確高於傳統滅活。所以如果開關,即使接近全民接種疫苗,還是極大可能將見到感染個案大幅上升。當然如打了兩針或更好的三針,死亡率必將大跌,但至今中國的零容忍政策不止是零死亡,是更強勢的零感染!
零容忍政策不止零死亡 更要零感染
當然其實大家最渴望的是全球疫情早日過去,所有人生活回復「正常」。我也希望如此,但我一早已預計COVID將由pandemic(大流行)演變為更麻煩的endemic(風土病),且某程度上,人類歷史將可分為B.C.(Before Coronavirus)和 A.C.(After Coronavirus),不幸似乎已應驗了。Endemic的意思是COVID將揮之不去,永久流傳,且不斷變異,確跟flu(流感)有點類似,但即使經過多次變異,疫苗發展和療法的進步,CFR(Case Fatality Rate)仍徘徊在1.5%,仍是流感的10倍以上,絕不可完全不管。
數天前跟一位外國的頂級策略師通話,他指出全球只剩下中國內地、香港(可能加台灣?)和新西蘭,仍堅持零容忍政策,連日本、新加坡和澳洲等地,都已不幸失守,或逐漸放棄嚴控疫情政策。他悲觀地認為Delta浪是無法抵擋的,北半球夏季已如此厲害,到了進入秋冬將更嚴重,擔心連中國也將失守。他更認為接種疫苗也只不過是權宜之計,真正感染過COVID後的抗體才最有效,但我認為此說法並不科學,看到研究報告,打完任何技術的booster第三針後,抗體量都比兩針或感染COVID後的高很多。
港人未能無隔離進內地 令人費解
習慣了香港的安全環境,當然希望他的預測是錯的。但秋冬確可能是高峰期,所以連香港的嚴謹旅遊政策,亦必將繼續。早前歐洲商會警告如香港繼續封關,他們很多會員將無法忍受,更將傷害香港營商環境和國際中心地位。但港府已作出回應,現在香港和內地的治疫成功,得來不易,但至今香港仍未能與內地通關。如香港疫情失守,更將無望與內地通關。其實香港早已本地清零,近日逐漸開放單向來港通關,是好事,但仍未能讓港人自由無隔離進入內地,實在令人費解。固然可能跟香港未行使健康碼有關,但相信亦有其他因素,包括冬奧前不願冒任何風險,擔心部分香港人更可怕的思想病毒,和一改從前過於遷就香港人的呵護政策。
更重要的問題是,長期封關對中國內政以及外交關係有何影響?我觀察是要慎防四個封閉:
1. 封關後,似乎中國就認為這就是做「大掃除」的最好時機。近月中國明顯加速各方面改革步伐,包括教育、地產、醫療、互聯網、資本市場、文化、外交、軍事,和更核心的意識形態。中國過去40年,最成功有兩點,就是和平崛起和拋開意識形態,以實務發展為先。我仍希望中國能保持和平崛起,但當然在台灣、南海以至阿富汗等面對各種挑戰。我早已指出中國未來發展將需要一套較完整但仍務實的經濟甚至政治理論基礎。拉倒大家都知道大有問題的西方發展模式容易,尤其美國企圖以QE解決所有問題,導致社會分裂,但如何發展一套全新模式需要很長時間。中國各政策,分開個別來看,都有一定道理,亦大受內部歡迎,但加起來,就有點快速豪賭一舖的感覺。中國是一個大國,行事應否較慎重和穩定,值得討論和反思,亦當然需要考慮對外交,軍事,和世界和平的影響。即使各政策對治疫、氣候變化、貧富懸殊等問題有幫助,但無意中反加深外國人對中國的誤解和偏見(不止投資者),從而增加了戰爭的風險,這就要非常小心了。
加快改革如豪賭 反加深外國人對中國偏見
2. 數據年代中,既然中國封了旅遊的關,其實更需要開闊互聯網和傳媒等的資訊流通關,但不幸在最關鍵的過去一年多,雖說要講好中國的故事,但事實絕不見得在這方面有任何努力過。如中國與美國為首的西方繼續加深,像近日索羅斯這老人家竟公開批評Blackrock增加在華投資,警告將危害美國和西方的國家利益,其實情况已有點危險。
3. Blackrock確拿到中國第一張全資公募基金牌照,但其實中國金融市場和資本帳仍然非常封閉,尤其仍嚴控資金外流,形成人民幣地位與中國經濟規模極不匹配的危險情况。中國PPP GDP已是第一,佔全球的23%,但名義GDP仍是第二,佔全球只16%,且今年中國貿易順差急速擴大。從西方角度看,這就是故意操控貨幣,壓低人民幣匯率,採取不公平貿易政策,其實情况有點似清代早期,中國出售大量茶葉、瓷器和絲綢給英國,但拒絕購買英國貨,形成龐大以白銀為本位的貿易順差,英國才想出以鴉片來毒害中國人民的邪惡計劃,以此扭轉貿易平衡,最後導致戰爭。今天中國已非吳下阿蒙,不會受列強欺壓,但當然仍該避免戰爭!
4. 最後,中國人勤奮好學,素質愈來愈好,平均中國年輕人,對世界的認知,毫無疑問,肯定比平均的美國人,甚至大部分西方人都要好。但如封關太久,加上資訊開放亦不足夠,資本帳更不流通,實在有需要提醒國人,切記千萬不可連重中之重的思想,都逐漸封閉起來!

國際貿易實務是什麼 在 國立臺灣大學 National Taiwan University Facebook 的最佳貼文
【國立臺灣大學 109學年度畢業典禮 貴賓致詞】
Commencement Address, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021
.
巨大集團 羅祥安前執行長
Giant Group Former CEO Anthony Lo
管校長,羅副校長,各位貴賓,畢業生的家長跟朋友們,還有今天最重要的2021年臺大的畢業生,大家早安、大家好!
首先恭喜你們,今天從全世界最優秀大學之一的臺灣大學畢業了!
在過去幾年,在管校長,以「大學教改」和「國際化」的理念,率領全體師生的努力之下,臺大在全世界的能見度,和各項排名,都有顯著的進步,也讓身為校友的我們倍感光榮。
是不是我們大家一起鼓掌,給自己鼓勵一下好不好!
你們今天剛剛畢業,但是你們已經創造了臺大一項新的紀錄:第一次,沒有傳統畢業典禮的畢業生。這將是你們人生一個非常特別的回憶,也預表了你們未來將會有與眾不同的表現,和非凡的成就。
現在的世界,局勢是在東方跟西方的勢力,彼此對抗而動盪不安。而全世界的經濟活動,也因為科技的突破性創新,而受到很大的影響。不盡理想的、不盡公平的全球化,也將逐漸地變成 全球在地化。而COVID-19肆虐全球的結果,使得臺灣跟全世界,大家的生活型態、社會的結構、經濟活動的節奏都被打亂了,而必須要加以全面的整理跟重新的架構。這當然是一個危機,但是更是一個絕好的機會。所以,將你們迎面而來的,是無數的創新的機會,以及冒險卻令人興奮的全新挑戰。
因為臺灣,這是第一次跟全世界各個國家,同步的站在一個嶄新的共同起跑點上面。所以我要恭喜你們,你們躬逢其會,將要進入一個充滿希望、嶄新的時代。
我是1969年從臺大畢業的,所以我想今天就以我畢業之後的50多年,人生的一些學習和體會,來跟諸位分享,給諸位作個參考。
當我大學畢業的時候,我滿懷抱負,迫不及待地想要大展身手,我當時進入臺灣最大的貿易公司工作,但是我發現我所學的很多東西,只有一些國際貿易的實務跟英文有用,至於其他我所學習到的經營管理的很多知識,恐怕都要等到10年、20年之後,如果我有幸當上高級主管才能派上用場。
更諷刺的是,我是商學系畢業的,但是工作兩年後,我發現我真的不喜歡做商人,我也不喜歡做生意,我有興趣的是做事業。
後來,幸好我有聆聽我心裡面的微弱的聲音,決定踏進自行車業,放棄掉台北最好的貿易公司的金飯碗,而去參加在大甲一個只有38個人的小公司,來追求我的夢想。
那時候許多人認為我腦筋有問題,頭殼壞去,但現在回顧回來,我當時是做了人生一個非常好的決定。
創業的過程飽受艱辛,但是我也學到了很多寶貴的經驗:我首先學到的,是在做事之前,必須要先學做人。
人必須要誠信踏實,不能自私自利,而要利他共好。
要隨時心存感恩,尊重、關切別人。要熱愛這個世界,並且要了解到一個人的能力是有限的,而必須要去建立互信、互助的人際關係;要融入群體、要發揮團隊的精神。
在做事方面,一定要以正面積極的態度,認真努力去工作。 而且不要怕失敗,要勇於接受新的挑戰。因為如果有失敗了,那只是代表說你又更靠近成功一步了。要作中學,學中作,要虛心好奇的終身學習,開拓挑戰、追求卓越。
在這裡,我想要送給大家一個很特別的畢業禮物,就是兩個「成功的錦囊」。
第一個錦囊:不管你做什麼工作,不論你職務的高低,永遠都要站在顧客的立場,來為他們設想,還能做什麼,讓他們能夠得到更多的創新價值。
第二個錦囊:無論作什麼工作,不管你職務的高低,永遠都要站在經營者的角度來為公司設想,要做什麼,才能讓公司更健康,永續經營跟發展。
既使你們把我後面講的很多東西都忘記了,沒關係,但是這個畢業禮物你們一定要記得帶回去,因為這些「同理心」的兩個錦囊,在未來會給你們帶來意想不到的祝福!
其次我體會到,名跟利都是副產品。正產品是你成為什麼樣的人,成就什麼樣的事。當正產品是對的時候,名跟利都自然會來。
所以我鼓勵大家在找工作的時候,不要太計較開始的薪水和待遇。因為事實上,一個新人,在前面三年是很難有大的貢獻的,反過來只是公司發薪水來給你培訓而已。所以選擇一個有意義的行業,找一家你可以學習進步的好公司,這才是重要的。
第三,我學習到 知識不等於智慧。諸位都學有專精,有很多寶貴的知識,但這些知識必須要實際去做才能夠產生經驗,而累積的時候會有不同經驗的反省、學習、跟體會,尤其是從那些失敗的經 驗,才能夠漸漸地凝結成有用的智慧。
我的成長過程分成三段,開始我是一個「I」型的人,我擁有一些經營管理的基本的能力。後來因為工作的需要和我的好奇心,我漸漸地學習到技術開發、製造生產、品牌推廣、全球經營、以及行銷、服務等等寶貴的經驗,這樣漸漸地,我就形成一個「T」型的一個跨界的人才。但是到了我真正找到公司未來的使命跟方向,並且把它跟我的人生目標結合在一起,熱情的、積極去推動的時候,那時候我終於成為一個「十字架」型的一個領導者。
當公司發展得比較穩定之後,我就面臨要如何來替公司規劃願景、使命、定位,跟長期策略。在這個階段,我有一些新的體會:首先,你必須要能夠畫出一個「黃金正三角形」,正三角形是最穩定的,上面是戰略,中間是戰術,下面是戰鬥。先要有正確的戰略,才能衍伸出有效的戰術,再根據這個戰術去貫徹戰鬥的執行。換言之,戰略就是做對的事情,戰術就是對的方法,戰鬥就是用對的方法去把事情做對做好,並且不斷地去持續改善。
想要能夠思考出長期的戰略,就必須要有洞察力。
我很喜歡看地球儀,就是那種在一個架子上面,有一個可以轉動的地球模型。當你把地球轉動的時候,你看到上面每一個地方、每一個國家,它的地理位置、它的自然生態,以及你思考它的歷史的演變跟它的發展,這樣子你就能夠得出一個整體的,跟全方位的一個概念。
在思考長期戰略的時候,很不容易得出一個有突破性的一個創見,它的原因往往是因為「當局者迷」的關係。
所以當我考慮長期戰略的時候,我會把自己設想,好像從一個人造衛星上面,來觀看一個轉動的地球。以宇宙格局的高度,以全球視野的廣度,以歷史演進的長度,這樣子你就能夠以一個「旁觀者清」的姿態和角度,來正面、反面深入思考,這樣子你就可能得到一個突破性的一個解答。「世界的捷安特」跟「全球在地化」的品牌經營—這樣子的策略、願景就是這樣產生的。
另外一種洞察力,是如何推出給人們有創新價值的產品跟服務。這就要時時地站在人文跟科技的十字路口,仔細觀察它們的變化,然後活用科技的進步,為人文潛在的需求,適時地提供最佳的解決方案。捷安特的Cycling世界,就是用這種方法,不斷的推出創新價值的產品。
我們在經營上也有發展出一個特別的理念,那就是「不求第一,要作惟一」。全世界的人這麼多,但沒有兩個人的指紋是一樣的, 所以每一個人都是獨一無二、都是惟一的。可見當上帝造每一個人的時候,祂都有衪特別的計劃,而且也把成功所需要的能力跟要素,已經放在你的心中,等待你取用。所以每一個人不應該只是模仿別人,或者是按照別人的期望來生活,而應該要找出並且發揮自己的天賦,真正做自己,成為惟一,才能夠活出精采的生命。
企業也是一樣,不能隨波逐流,必須要找出什麼才是對的,什麼是合適你的,什麼才是有意義、對這個世界有貢獻的,這個才是惟一。當你精益求精,努力的想要成為惟一的時侯,你才能夠找到真正正確的目標,以及永續生存的價值。如果事事都想為第一,那麼你可能去追求很多不切實際的目標,而被你無法承受的巨大壓力所摧毀。或者,因為不擇手段,最後走上一些錯誤的道路。
在長期追求惟一的過程當中,我也得到兩個重要的體會:當你決心做一件對的事情,而且不屈不撓,勇敢堅持奮鬥的時候,全宇宙的力量都會起來幫助你。另外,把一件有意義的事情,用生命的力量把它作好,你就有可能改變這個世界!
我鼓勵你們,聆聽你們內心深處的微小的聲音,讓它引導你們,去尋找到你們的天賦,了解你們的命定。
不求第一,要作惟一。做你真正的自己,成為惟一。活出你精彩的生命,享受你幸福的人生!
很多人說,生長在臺灣的人,一輩子裡面一定要完成三項挑戰:登玉山、泳渡日月潭、還有騎自行車環島。我覺得這非常有道理。所以我建議大家在畢業以後,在去當兵、就業之前,不妨參加一個自行車環島的旅行團,用九天的時間,仔細的去體會、欣賞寶島臺灣的美好,用自行車的輪胎去親吻,這塊生你長你的美麗大地,就當作是送給你自己的一個畢業禮物吧!
那教授們跟家長們,可能會想說,啊!太可惜了,我畢業的時候沒有騎自行車環島,我現在已經五六十歲了。沒關係,你這個年紀正好來從事人生的壯遊。
我們臺大的校長-管校長,在今年的一月份,就勇敢的完成他夢寐以求的自行車環島的壯遊。我們給管爺一個掌聲好不好?
有人認為臺灣很小、沒有前途,真的是這樣嗎?世界經濟論壇每年都要把全世界的國家的實力做一個調查跟排名。讓我們來看一下臺灣的排名。全世界有235個國家,就面積來講,我們排名第137;就人口來講,第57;就經濟體來講,第21;就整體競爭力來講,排名第11;而創新力,臺灣排名第4。沒錯,臺灣的確不大,但是我們很強,我們可以很有前途!
可預見的,未來的世界將會成為美、歐、亞三區鼎力的這個新局面。就像三個圓圈,各自都以自己的利益為優先,並且彼此長期的競爭、對抗和抵制,但是同時又不得不相互的維持一些必要的連結。而在每一個圈裡面,它將持續的有很多劇烈的改變,就像一個暴風圈一樣。而這三個暴風圈連結在一起,就形成一個所謂完全風暴PERFECT STORM。
最近經濟學人雜誌,把臺灣當作封面,稱臺灣為地球上最危險的地方,但同時又是科技業最關鍵的地方。我個人倒認為,未來臺灣可能是處在一個最有利的地位,就在那三個暴風圈中間的那個颱風眼,也就是這三個圈圈彼此連結交會的中心點。這個地方看起來好像危險,其實是最安全、最有利、又是最關鍵的地方。
當三個暴風圈無可避免的,參與在一個長期的競爭、對抗、跟抵制-這樣一個零和的賽局裡面。那臺灣並不屬於任何一個圈圈,也不需要去參與這些競爭、對抗跟抵制。而可以去想說,我可以在這個關鍵的中心點,替這個世界來提供什麼樣子的創新價值的貢獻。
臺灣過去50年的努力累積了很多技術開發、製造管理、金融資本,社會資源,以及民主法治體制,這些稀有而寶貴的實力。而且如果以全世界作為舞台,那麼,能夠精通中文跟英文、能夠深切的了解東方西方的文化;有專業,又能跨界,謙卑而不自卑,自信而不自大的臺灣人,可能是全世界最優秀的人才。
未來無法被預測,但是可以被創造!30年前,有誰能夠預測到說臺灣會產生世界級的台積電跟捷安特?
台積電秉持著作惟一的理念,以全球晶圓代工的戰略,厚植實力,打造了優質高效的供應鏈,把臺灣變成一個科技島。以臺灣為核心,轉動引領全世界的半導體市場。
捷安特也秉持著作惟一的理念,以世界的捷安特,全球在地化的品牌戰略,帶領A-Team把臺灣變成全世界高級車的中心,又積極的推動Cycling的新文化,把臺灣發展成一個自行車島,以臺灣為核心,轉動引領全世界自行車的市場。
在這裡我也期許我們臺大,也能夠以作惟一這樣子的理念,轉動引領世界,變成全世界最優秀人才培養的最佳搖籃。
未來的50年,臺灣將迎來前所未有最大的機運!所以臺灣是不是應該要脫離過去單純競爭的心態,而來積極的謀求長期的未來生存之道,或者更進一步要問自己:臺灣可以為世界貢獻些什麼?臺灣不應該只是消極的「根留臺灣」,而應該更主動積極的「放眼全球、立足亞太、深根臺灣」。
臺灣過去的50年,那是一個非常艱辛跟特別的階段。很慶幸的,臺灣在那個階段裡面,是屬於勝利的這一組。
現在是應該到了必須要了解過去、深入現在、策劃未來,這個重要關鍵的時刻。要如何的以宇宙格局的高度、以全球視野的廣度、以及歷史演進的長度,衡外情,量己力,來為臺灣重新的定位,重新畫一個正確的戰略、戰術、戰鬥的黃金三角形。讓臺灣能夠真正發揮自己的長處,能夠打造創新價值的優勢,成為惟一、做Only One!要能夠創造一個更安全、更廣闊、更興盛-全新的藍海。臺灣必須要成為世界的好公民,繼續的為全世界做更多、更好的貢獻!
2021的畢業生們,在你們當中有未來國家的領導人、有全球企業的創造者、有在社會各行各業、方方面面的核心人才,所以臺灣未來50年的未來,就掌握在你們手中了。
最後,我想用一位著名科學家的名言來作結尾: Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. 人生就像騎自行車,要保持你平衡最好的方法,就是繼續不斷地向前進。
你知道這是誰的名言嗎? 沒錯,就是愛因斯坦!
2021的畢業生們,請你騎上你人生的自行車,勇敢的向前邁進,去開創你獨一無二、精彩無比的新生命跟未來。再一次,恭喜你們,並且祝福你們每一位,將來都能夠有健康、幸福、精彩跟有意義的人生!
謝謝!

==============================

President Kuan, Executive Vice President Luo, Distinguished guests, family, friends, and most importantly, the graduating class of 2021, good morning!
First of all, congratulations! Today, you are graduating from one of the best universities in the world – National Taiwan University!
Over the last few years, President Kuan led the university forward with his vision of “educational reform” and internationalization”. Together with all the faculty and students, NTU has made significant progress in both ranking and global visibility, making us, alumni, extremely proud.
I think we deserve to give ourselves a round of applause!
You are the graduating class of 2021 and already, you have set a new record for NTU: For the first time, there will not be a traditional graduation ceremony. Let this be a very special memory of your life and a sign of the difference you will make in your future with extraordinary achievements.
The world is now in a volatile state where the East and the West are confronting each other. The world’s economic activities are also greatly affected by the breakthrough and innovations in technology. The less-than-ideal and less-than fair globalization will gradually become global localization. And as a result of COVID-19, Taiwan and the rest of the world’s lifestyle, social structure, and economy have been disrupted, and must be comprehensively reorganized and restructured. This is certainly a crisis, but in the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity. So, what lies before you are countless opportunities for innovation, and exciting new challenges.
Because, for the first time, Taiwan is standing with the rest of the world on a new race-track. Therefore, I would like to congratulate you, you are entering a new era full of hope.
I graduated from NTU in 1969. It has been more than 50 years and today, I would like to share some of my life experiences and insights.
When I graduated from college, I was filled with ambition. I couldn’t wait to make my mark. I joined one of the largest trading companies in Taiwan, where I quickly realized the only materials I learned in school that came in handy are a little bit of international trade practices and English. Much of what I had learned about business management would only be relevant 10 or 20 years down the road, if I was lucky enough to become a senior executive.
What’s even more ironic is that I graduated with a degree in business, but after working for 2 years, I realize I really don’t like being a businessman, and I don’t like doing business. What I am actually interested in is building an enterprise.
Fortunately, I chose to listen to the faint voice in my heart and decided to enter the bicycle industry. I left my position at the best trading company in Taipei to join a small company with only 38 employees in Dajia to pursue my dream.
At the time, many people thought I must’ve broken my skull and gone crazy, but looking back, I have made a great decision in my life.
The process of starting my own enterprise has been very difficult, but I have learned many valuable lessons. The first thing I learned is that before you can do anything else, you have to learn to be a person of good character.
We must be honest, down to earth, selfless, self-serving, and altruistic for the common good.
Be grateful, respectful and caring at all times. To love the world and to understand that one person’s ability is limited and that is necessary to build interpersonal relationships of mutual trust and support; to be part of a group and to play as a team.
When it comes to work, you must work hard with a positive attitude. And don’t be afraid to fail, be brave enough to accept new challenges. Because every time you fail, it just means you are one step closer to success. Learning is an active process. We learn by doing. We must stay open-minded and curious, aspiring to lifelong learning; to explore challenges and pursue excellence.
Here I would like to give everyone a special graduation gift, which are my two tips for success:
First, always put yourself in the customer’s shoes, regardless of what you’re doing or what kind of job title you hold. Think for them, think about what else you can do to create more value for the customers.
Second, regardless of what you’re doing or what kind of job title you hold, always think about the company from the proprietor’s point of view; what can we do to build a healthier company that’s sustainable.
Even if you are going to forget everything I say later, that’ ok. Just remember to take your graduation gift at heart, because these two tips on “empathy “are sure to bring you unexpected blessings in the future!
Later on, I realized that fame and money are merely byproducts. The real product is you, what kind of person you have become and what have you achieved. When the real product is identified, fame and money will come naturally.
So I encourage you, when you look for a job, don’t be too concerned about the starting salary and benefits. Because as a matter of fact, as a newcomer, it is very difficult to make a big contribution in the first three years, so really the company is paying to give you training instead. So choose a meaningful industry and find a good company where you can improve and grow, that’s what’s important.
Thirdly, I learned that knowledge is not the same as wisdom. All of you have learned a lot and have a lot of valuable knowledge, but this knowledge must be practiced in order to produce experience, and in the process of accumulation, there will be different experiences of reflection, learning and empathy, especially from failure, slowly and surely all these experiences will be condensed into useful wisdom.
My personal development can be divided into three stages. I began as a I-shaped person with some basic skills in business management. Later on, due to my job and curiosity, I gained respected experience in technology development, manufacturing, branding, global marketing, and service and thus gradually becoming a T-shape multidisciplinary professional.
However, when I combined the future mission and direction of the company with my life goals, promoting it enthusiastically and actively, that is when I finally became a X-shape transdisciplinary leader.
Once the company became more stable, I was faced with the challenge of planning the vision, mission, positioning, and long-term strategy for the company. At this stage, I had some new insights.
First, you must be able to draw a “golden triangle”, an equilateral triangle is the most stable shape with strategy on top, tactics in the middle, and operations at the bottom. In other words, the strategy is to do the right thing, the tactics is the using the right methods, and operations is using the right methods to excel on doing the right things while constantly improving them.
To develop long-term strategies, it is necessary to have insight.
I enjoy looking at the globe, yes, the spherical model of Earth that sits on a stand and can be rotated. When you rotate the globe, you can see every place and country on it, its geographical location, its natural ecology, and you can think about its historical evolution and development, so that you can come up with an overall comprehensive concept.
When thinking about long-term strategy, it is not easy to come up with a groundbreaking idea, because “men are often blind in their own cause”
Therefore, when I think about long-term strategy, I imagine myself as if I were looking at a rotating Earth from a man-made satellite. With the height of the universe, the breadth of global vision and the length of historical evolution, you will be able think about it from the perspective of an observer, and then you may have a breakthrough. This is how the strategy and vision of “GIANT for the World” and “glocalization” brand management came about.
Another kind of insight is how to introduce the products and services to create additional value to people. This requires standing at the crossroads of humanity and technology, observing their changes carefully, and then using technological advances to provide the best solutions for the potential needs of humanity in a timely manner. This is how GIANT’s Cycling World continues to introduce innovative values to its products.
We have also developed a special philosophy in our business, which is “don’t be the first one, be the only one”. There are so many people in the world, but no two people share the same fingerprints, making each person unique and one of a kind. God created each person with purpose and has gifted us with the abilities and elements needed for success. All of which is in your heart, waiting for you to take them. Therefore, we should not just follow each other’s footstep or live under the expectations of someone else. Instead, we should find and give reigns to our talents, to truly be ourselves, to become the only one and live a brilliant life.
The same applies to businesses, you can’t just go with the flow, we must find what is right and suitable and what is meaningful and contributive to the world, this is what it means to be the only one. When you strive for excellence and strive to be the only one, you will find the right goals and the value of sustainability. If you try to be first in everything, you may pursue many unrealistic goals and either be destroyed by unbearable pressure or resort to doing whatever it takes, and end up on the wrong path.
I have learned two important lessons in my long quest to be the “only one”. When you are determined to do the right thing and you are unyielding and persistent in your struggle, the power of the universe will rise up and help you. In addition, if you do something meaningful and do it well with the power of life, you may change the world.
I urge you to listen to the small voice deep within you and let it guide you to find your talents and understand your destiny.
Do not seek to be the first but to be the only. Be true to yourself and be the only one. Live your life to the fullest and enjoy your life to the fullest!
Many people say that growing up in Taiwan, you must complete three challenges in your lifetime: climb to the top of Jade Mountain, swim across Sun Moon Lake, and ride a bike around the island. I think this is very true. Therefore, I suggest that after graduation, before you go to the military or get a job, you might as well join a bicycle tour around the island and spend nine days to carefully experience and appreciate the beauty of Taiwan. As a graduation gift to yourself, let the tires kiss the beautiful land where you were born and raised.
All the professors and parents must be thinking in regret, “Ah! Too bad! I didn’t ride my bike around the island when I graduated and now I’m already in my 50s and 60s…” But that’s okay! You are actually at the perfect age to start your adventurous life.
Our President of NTU, President Kuan bravely completed his dream bike tour around the island in January this year. Let’s give President Kuan a round of applause!
Some people think that Taiwan is small and has no future. Every year, the World Economic Forum conducts a survey and ranking of the strength of countries around the world. Let’s take a look at Taiwan’s ranking. There are 235 countries in the world and we rank 137th in terms of landmass, 57th in terms of population, 21st in terms of economy, 11th in terms of overall competitiveness, and 4th in terms of innovation. It’s true that Taiwan is not big, but we are strong and we have a promising future.
In the foreseeable future there will become a new situation in which the United States, Europe and Asia will be the three focal regions. Just like three circles, each of which prioritizes its own interests and is in long-term competition, confrontation and resistance, but at the same time has to maintain some necessary links with each other. And in each circle, drastic changes will be endless, just like a storm circle. These three storm circles are linked together to form a so-called PERFECT STORM.
The Economist magazine recently featured Taiwan on its cover, calling it the most dangerous place on earth, but at the same time the most critical place for the technology industry. Personally, I think that Taiwan may be in the most favorable position in the future, right in the middle of the three storm circles, the eye of the typhoon, which is the center point where these three circles are connected. This place seems dangerous, but in fact it is the safest, most favorable, and most critical place.
When the three storm circles are inevitably involved in a long-term competition, confrontation, and boycott - a zero-sum game. Taiwan does not belong to any of these circles, nor does it need to participate in these competitions, confrontations, and boycotts. Instead, situated in this critical position, I should begin to think about what kind of innovative value I can provide to the world.
Taiwan's efforts over the past 50 years have accumulated many rare and valuable strengths in technology development, manufacturing management, financial capital, social resources, and the democratic rule of law system. If the world is our stage, Taiwanese people who are proficient in Chinese and English, who have a deep understanding of Eastern and Western cultures, who are professional, who can cross borders, who are humble but not inferior, and who are confident but not arrogant, may be the best talents in the world.
The future cannot be predicted, but it can be created! 30 years ago, who could have predicted that Taiwan would produce globally renowned TSMC and GIANT?
TSMC is committed to the concept of being the only one, and has built up its strengths with its global foundry strategy, creating a high-quality and efficient supply chain and turning Taiwan into a technology island. With Taiwan as the core, TSMC is leading the worldwide semiconductor market.
GIANT also upholds the concept of "Be the only one" and leads the A-Team to turn Taiwan into the center of the world's premium bikes with the brand strategy of globalization and localization, and actively promotes the new culture of cycling, developing Taiwan into a cycling island and leading the world's cycling market with Taiwan as the core.
Here I also hope that we, NTU, can also lead the world with the concept of being the only one, and become the best cradle for the cultivation of the best talents in the world.
In the next 50 years, Taiwan will have the greatest opportunity ever! Therefore, Taiwan should get rid of the simple competitive mentality of the past and actively seek the long-term survival of the future, or go even further and ask itself: What can Taiwan contribute to the world? Taiwan should not just "secure Taiwan" in a conservative way, but should be more proactive with global outlook and establish a foothold in the Asia Pacific.
The last 50 years, for Taiwan, has been very difficult and significant. Fortunately, Taiwan pulled through and came out as one of the winners.
Now is the crucial moment to understand the past, delve into the present, and plan for the future. We must take the height of the universe, the breadth of our global vision, and the length of historical evolution, weigh the external situation, and measure our own strengths to reposition Taiwan and draw the golden triangle of strategy, tactics, and operations. Taiwan should be able to give full play to its strengths, create innovative value, and become the only one! Taiwan must become a good citizen of the world and continue to make more and better contributions to the world!
Graduates of 2021, among you are the future leaders of the country, the creators of global enterprises, and the core talents in all walks of life, the future is in your hands.
Finally, I would like to conclude with a quote from a famous scientist: Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
Do you know who this quote belongs to? That's right, Einstein!
Graduates of 2021, please get ready for your life adventure, get on your bikes and peddle courageously forward to create your own unique and exciting future. Again, congratulations and best wishes to each and every one of you for a healthy, happy, and meaningful life!
Thank you!

國際貿易實務是什麼 在 Collaborator產經共學社 Facebook 的精選貼文
【2H21 Collaborator產經共學社招生 - 申請表單開放中】
相信在上週的貼文和招說會後大家已更瞭解培訓計劃的內容,今天要來帶大家看看Junior們本學期的學習成果與他們製作報告的心得🥳
【社團學期成果展現(下)- Junior】
為期一學年的培訓計畫分成兩大主軸,暨昨天的Intern GWE後,Junior 主題報告則是讓Junior深入研究 #國際金融、#產業個股、#新趨勢 三大主題,學習數據分析、建立評價模型與產業研究,並由Mentor指導,撰寫具業界水準的報告。至06/05為止共產出13篇Junior報告。
#產業個股:至06/05為止,共5篇報告。
社員分享:「在做伺服器產業報告時,Mentor提醒可以藉由拆分各台廠伺服器的營收占比及他們的產品組合,以判斷其是否會受惠於成長動能。Mentor也分享上、中游零組件報價之所以容易調整的原因,其實是緣於伺服器成本主要為晶片,所以其他小零組件的價格調整對於中、下游而言,並不會有太大的影響,因而相對容易接受調價。Mentor以在業界的實務經驗及知識,讓我們的思維能更貼近實際產業的運作模式。」
📍03/06 美國長影音串流平台
https://reurl.cc/83pMWb:隨著智慧生活的來臨,影音串流平台隨之崛起。面對短影音平台的崛起各大廠該如何應對?
📍03/27 NETFLIX(NFLX)
https://reurl.cc/W31QDO:身為SVOD產業龍頭的NFX,及原創影集帶來的議價能力是否能為NFX帶來持續成長的動能?
以下產業報告即將上架粉專,請準時收看:
📍05/01 MCU產業:MCU產業目前供給緊繃,將由終端需求分析產業趨勢及廠商未來可能策略。
📍05/22 日月光投控(3711):5G手機、遠距辦公及汽車市場反彈三大動能,能否為日月光封測業務帶來長期成長動能?
📍06/05 伺服器產業:伺服器產業在經過2019年中美貿易戰的低基期後,短期需求因平台換機潮帶動,長期則受惠於各雲端大廠資料中心需求,除此之外,伺服器產業還有什麼其他可以關注的重點呢?
#新趨勢:至06/05為止,4篇新趨勢報告。
社員分享:「在做NFT報告時,最初本組討論主題為聲音經濟的娛樂傳媒產業,但在和Mentor討論過後,發現聲音經濟較難以紮實研究角度出發深入探討其商業模式革新及服務差異化,最後可能會偏向故事性的報告,而非具數量化佐證,也讓我們對於報告呈現模式及紮實的報告更有具體想像。」
📍03/13 固態電池
https://reurl.cc/2rmGNO:近年來電動車產業興起,固態電池高能量密度及循環壽命長等優點使各電池大廠投入大量資源進行研發,固態電池的應用是否能順利推行?
📍04/10 自駕車高精地圖

#國際金融:至06/05為止,4篇國金報告。
社員分享:「在做新興市場升息報告時,常常因為以學生的角度思考,而忽略了業界較關注的重點。但藉由Mentor的回饋,讓我們明白油價不僅要考慮現階段供需狀況,也須考慮去年疫情下的負油價情況,也就是低基期效應,因此油價對通膨推升的效果到今年第二季末應該要逐漸減緩。那若低基期影響過後,新興市場還會再承受這麼大的通膨壓力嗎?是個值得我們思考的點。在做報告的時候,Mentor也建議我們可以預測各央行後續的升息動作,讓我們能夠比對之後央行升息的狀況及原因,使觀點得到印證或改進的機會。」
📍03/20 石油近期趨勢&展望
https://reurl.cc/9rpNpa:近期原油價格站上2年來新高點,當前原油市場供需狀況是否平衡?影響石油需求因素又有哪些?
📍04/17 新興市場升息原因及影響分析
https://reurl.cc/pgM0aQ:隨著強勢美元來臨及輸入性通膨壓力,新興國家面臨升息壓力,來看看各新興經濟體升息後面臨的問題有哪些吧!

各節重點:
00:51 【為什麼「非洲豬瘟」不容忽視?】
01:29 【中國疫情更新】
03:03 【「警示簡訊」真的是濫用資源又擾民嗎?】
04:22 【熱騰騰的最新罰則】
05:10 【我們的重要提醒】防疫還是可能有漏洞
06:05 幾點提醒
06:41 掰比~別忘了訂閱
——
備註:
1. 如果要透過高溫來讓廚餘消毒,必須以「90度以上的中心溫度」、「持續」蒸煮「至少1小時」並「持續攪拌」後才能達到效果(部分媒體稱「非洲豬瘟病毒在60℃條件下加熱30分鐘即可消滅」是錯誤的!)。雖然政府已在第一時間向豬農宣導這件事了,但在實務上很難規範、也不易管控。因此也有人認為,比較保險的防疫措施應該是要禁止用廚餘養豬,但這是另一個議題,所以我們這邊就不深入討論。
2. 其實04:11所提到的「災防告警系統(PWS)」還有第四類「每月測試用」訊息,但主要功能僅為測試,所以我們就不特別列入囉!
