"為女心切" - Cow 女有術是真。梁兄哥是炒匯高手,當日在 Citibank (好像不叫此名,叫什么 First City International City Banking Corp)月進数百万,呼風喚雨,紅透外滙市場,都是中了Lo M T 的計出而做官,攪到惨淡收場,悔不當初。如今重作馮婦,雖不是炒滙,当会另有一番作為的。
In 1985 Blackstone opened its first small office with a staff of four,including the two founders Peter G. Peterson and Stephen A. Schwarzman and a balance sheet of $400,000. From those small beginnings,besides big dreams,the founders held certain core beliefs:
In a world of giant organizations with a broad array of services, there was room for a small firm with the highest levels of professionalism and integrity,and senior-level attention to clients and relationships
In the 1980s world of "bear hugs" and more or less hostile takeovers,the firm would only invest capital in strictly friendly situations,supporting strong management teams
In a world of ever larger firms,there were gifted,entrepreneurial professionals who,in a more personal setting,with institutional credibility and congruent goals,would join Blackstone in creating affiliated businesses in their areas of expertise
In a world of "other people's money",the firm would always put significant amounts of its own money in investments it made
In a world rife with conflicts of interest,there was a need for a firm that was able to provide entirely objective advice and counsel without any pressure from alternative agendas The Blackstone team's success in pursuing those goals and beliefs is reflected today in the firm's outstanding reputation and its acknowledged role as a major global player.
