　　亚洲商业
　　A world to conquer
　　征服世界
　　Asian business is reforming. Its emerging
will change the way we all live
　　亚洲商业正在改革，其新兴的跨国公司将改变我们的生活
　　BUSINESS power follows economic power. In the 1920s British firms owned 40% of the global stock of foreign direct investment. By 1967 America was top dog, with a 50% share. Behind those figures lie cultural revolutions. The British spread the telegraph and trains in Latin America. American firms sold a vision of the good life, honed by Hollywood and . Kellogg's changed what the rich world ate for breakfast, and Kodak how it remembered holidays. The next
revolution, as we describe in our special report this week, is happening in Asia. This too will change how the world lives.
　　商业能力紧随经济实力。1920年代，英国公司拥有40%的全球海外直接投资股票。截至1967年，美国以50%的市场份额雄霸世界。这些数字的背后是文化革命。英国将电报机和铁路传至拉丁美洲。美国公司则通过好莱坞和广告营造了一副美好生活的憧憬。家乐氏公司改变了发达国家人们桌上的早餐，柯达则定格了人们对于假期的美好回忆。下一场公司革命，就如同我们在本周的特别报道中描述的一样，将发生在亚洲。这也同样会改变我们生活的世界。
　　Arrested development
　　发展受阻
　　亚洲商业.jpg
has . The continent's share of global GDP has risen from a fifth to 28% since 1984. It is the world's factory, a diverse region of rivals bound together by supply chains. But it lacks brains and global . Asia
76% of the world's iron and emits 44% of its pollution, but hosts only a tenth of its most valuable brands and venture-capital activity. Its multinationals punch below their weight, owning 17% of the world's foreign direct investment. Wealthy Japan and South Korea have a cast of superstars, such as Toyota and Samsung. But few other firms command the world stage.
　　亚洲资本强劲有力。亚洲大陆占全球GDP的份额自1984年以来已经增长了五分之一，至28%。 这里是世界工厂，由供应链连结起来的竞争多元化的地区。但是它&力大无脑&，缺乏对全球市场的领悟能力。亚洲熔炼了76%的世界钢铁并排放了44%的污染物，但是只掌握了十分之一最有价值的品牌和风险资本活动。这里，跨国公司的实力与其规模并不相称，只拥有世界17%的外国直接投资。富裕的日本和韩国有众多的明星企业，例如丰田和三星。但是，其他能够在世界舞台上占领一席之地的公司却是屈指可数。
　　That is because Asian capitalism has been too . In the boom between 2002 and 2010 easy profits were made at home&growth was fast and labour and credit cheap. Two-thirds of big Asian firms are state-controlled or &business houses& (often family-run). These
tend to be chummy with the government and get cheap land and loans. Half of all billionaire wealth in Asia has been made in , such as property, that are
15% in the West. Outside Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, innovation has been neglected. Mahindra & Mahindra and Great Wall, car champions from India and China, have a combined research-and-development (R&D) budget that is 3% of Volkswagen's.
　　这是因为亚洲的资本主义是&温室里的花朵&。从年，唾手可得的利润在家里就能轻松赚到&&快速的增长以及廉价劳动力和信贷。三分之二的亚洲大公司都是国有的或者家族式经营的商号。它们都与政府有着密切的关系，能够得到廉价的土地和贷款。亚洲近半数的亿万富豪都是从政府有关部门发家的，例如极易产生裙带关系的房地产业，相比之下在西方只占15%。除了日本、台湾和南韩之外，创新都遭到了忽视。马恒达和长城这两个印度和中国的汽车业龙头，其研究开发经费加起来也不过是大众汽车的3%。
　　For Western firms, Asia's shortcomings have been a relief. The iPhone shows why: although it is made by the hands of Chinese workers, it is the brains behind it, at Apple and at
component-makers in the rich world, that take nearly all the profits. Now, however, the rules that have governed Asian capitalism for the past two decades are changing. Asian firms are having to become brainier, more nimble and more global.
　　对于西方公司来说，亚洲的短板令他们从中得利。iPhone就是和很好的例子：尽管都是出自中国工人的双手，但从中赚取几乎全部利润的&大脑&，是背后的苹果公司和发达国家的高科技元件市场。然而，这个曾经在过去二十年里管理着亚洲资本的游戏规则正在改变。亚洲企业正在变成更为灵活和全球化的&大脑&。
motivation is underperformance: growth has slowed, and Asian shares have lagged American ones by 40% in the past three years. Three deeper trends are also at work. First, labour costs are rising, not least in China, and East Asia's
is ageing. Second, Asia's middle class is becoming more demanding. They are no longer satisfied with fake Louis V they want clean air, safe food and more leisure, and are madly in love with the internet. Third, competition has
from Western multinationals, which have invested $2 trillion in Asia. They also now use the same cheapish labour, and they generally have much more sophisticated supply chains, brands and R&D.
　　最直接的动力是表现不佳：增长在减缓，在过去的3年里，亚洲的份额滞后于美国40%。三个更深层次的趋势正在起作用。首先，劳动力成本在上升，尤其是在中国，东亚的劳动力正在面临老龄化。其次，亚洲中产阶级的需求正在变高。他们不再仅仅满足于山寨LV手包，他们想要干净的空气、安全的食品和更多的休闲娱乐，同时也越来越迷恋网络世界。第三，来自西方跨国公司的竞争愈发激烈，他们已经在亚洲投资超过2万亿美元。他们现在也有相对廉价的劳动力，除此之外他们大都还拥有成熟的供应链、品牌和研发。
　　With their home markets no longer quite so safe, Asian firms are adapting&and becoming stronger. In response to rising wages, production (of clothes, for example) is shifting from China to South-East Asia and Africa, led by Japanese firms which are also worried about a war with the Middle Kingdom. Chinese firms such as Haier, which makes fridges, plan to
factories and get into cleverer products. And as the Chinese push upmarket, the Koreans are redoubling efforts to stay ahead. Samsung's spending on R&D rose by 24% in 2013. If they get their act together, India and Indonesia, Asia's bumbling giants, will attract lots of factory jobs. Their best firms are also getting brainier. Once dismissed as &body shops&, India's IT-outsourcing firms are now leaders in big data.
　　亚洲企业的本土市场不再是高枕无忧，所以他们也在适应&&同时也在变强。由于上升的工资成本，产品生产（例如服装）正在从中国转到东南亚和非洲，日本公司由于担心与中国将爆发战争所以首先采取了这种措施。中国公司例如生产冰箱的海尔，计划加强工厂自动化并生产更智能的产品。随着中国高端市场的发展，韩国正竭力保持其领先地位。三星在2013年的研发经费增长了24%。如果印度和印尼能共同进退，这两个笨手笨脚的亚洲巨人将会吸引大量的工厂就业。他们中最好的公司也正变成&大脑&。曾经被忽略为代工车间的印度IT外包公司现在已经成为大数据的领军者。
　　Rising consumer
internet firms disrupt traditional industries. Alibaba, a Chinese internet giant, is expanding into , telecoms and logistics.
think it might be worth $150 billion, more than China's steel industry. China's drive to reform its state-owned firms is meant to make them more responsive to customers. Xi Guohua, the boss of China Mobile, plans to give shares to his staff. Across Asia demand for health care is likely to create a whole new generation of companies&the industry comprises only 4% of the region's stockmarket, compared with 12% in the rich world.
　　消费者日益增长的需求意愿正帮助互联网企业打破行业传统。阿里巴巴作为一个中国互联网企业巨头，已经将业务扩张到银行业、电信业和物流业。分析师认为其市值可能达到1500亿美元，超过了中国钢铁行业总和。中国实施国企改革的决心意味着国企要更多的回应消费者的需求。中国移动董事长奚国华计划让自己的员工持有本企业的股份。纵观亚洲，对于医疗保健的需求很有可能会创造一批全新的公司&&该行业的份额只占地区股票市场的4%，而在发达国家则占12%。
　　In order to challenge foreign rivals, Asian firms are globalising, following the example of Samsung and Toyota. Lenovo, a thriving Chinese computer firm, has Western-style governance and many foreign staff. Huawei has overtaken Ericsson in telecoms equipment. India's Sun Pharma is now one of the world's biggest generic-drugs firms. Tencent, China's Facebook, has hired the footballer Lionel Messi to advertise its services abroad.
business houses are evolving into focused multinationals. Tata Sons is now a superb IT firm and luxury-car
tied to a ragbag of Indian assets.
　　为了应对国外竞争对手，亚洲公司（例如三星和丰田）正在全球化。作为一家繁荣兴旺的中国计算机企业，联想拥有西式的管理和众多外籍员工。华为在电信设备方面也超越了爱立信公司。印度的太阳药业现在已经跻身为全球最大的非注册商标类药品公司之一。腾讯是中国版的facebook，聘任足球明星莱昂内尔&梅西为其服务进行海外宣传。粗放式发展的商业模式已经进化成集中而专业的跨国企业。塔塔之子公司这家优秀的IT公司和豪华汽车制造商，已经成为印度资产大杂烩中的一员。
　　Cereal
　　麦片杀手
　　Asian business needs to do much more. Big firms are spending 50% more on R&D than five years ago, but must get better at breakthrough innovations.
must focus on a few areas where they can achieve global scale. Governments can do their bit, by freeing state firms from
and ensuring that powerful incumbents do not
entrepreneurs.
　　亚洲商业前路依然漫长。跟5年前相比，大公司的研发开支增加了50%，但仍需突破性的创新。企业集团需要集中优势到某一些领域并做大到国际规模。政府能帮忙的地方就是解放国企、停止插手并确保大权在握的现任领导不会扼杀企业的发展。
　　Western firms should pay attention. In some industries&aircraft manufacturing, for example&the barriers to entry are still immense, but in other sectors brands and technology will no longer be a shield from emerging Asian competition. The threat to low-paid Western jobs may . Haier's Chinese workers are paid 25% of what its American workers get, up from 5% in 2000. Instead it may be copywriters, scientists and designers who feel the chill of competition from the East.
　　西方企业需要注意。某些行业（例如航空制造业）的准入门槛仍然很高，但在其他领域，品牌和科技不再是阻挡新兴亚洲竞争对手的避风港。西方国家低收入工作所面临的威胁可能会减少。海尔中国工人的收入是美国工人的25%，自2000年以来增加了5%。相反的，广告文案、科学家和设计师这些人更有可能需要面对来自来亚洲的竞争。
　　History suggests consumers will adapt fast. In 20 years, miracle cures for the old will come from Japan, the best web apps from India and couture from China. And cornflakes, once a cutting-edge food, will be rivalled by
and dosas, sold in boxes by a global brand. Asian capitalism will change the world&even, maybe, what it has for breakfast.
　　历史证明，消费者需要迅速适应新情况。在未来20年，治愈老人的医疗奇迹将发生在日本，最好的网络应用程序来自印度，而高级时装则来自中国。玉米片这个一度被认为是高科技的食品，将被装在盒子里、贴着全球品牌的稀饭和印度薄饼所取代。亚洲资本将改变世界&&甚至有可能是桌上的早餐。

扫描下载二维码讲好中国故事，用魅力征服世界
[来源:] [作者:汶金让] [编辑:李成辉]
　　根据北京师范大学中国文化国际传播研究院“中国电影文化的国际传播研究”调研显示，31%的受访者认为中国电影故事非常有特点，是中国电影的重要标志。但是，高达51%的外国观众认为中国电影最需要改进的因素是电影故事。还有接近50%的受访者认为中国电影故事逻辑混乱、难以理解。(2月28日人民日报)
　　中国故事真的难以理解吗?非也。中国电影故事是外国观众最感兴趣的因素之一，之所以被误解为“难以消化”，其中有文化隔阂、语言交流方面的障碍，中国电影如果想扩大国际影响力，在编剧方面亟待改进。一方面我们不能走纯粹模仿的路子，穿中国人的衣服演外国人的故事，一味追求所谓的“普世价值”，陷入好莱坞的价值观陷阱，造成故事逻辑混乱。另一方面我们也不能闭门造车，把中国的东西都看成优秀的，钻进民族主义的牛角尖儿，令外国观众感到理解困难。中国电影国际影响力的扩大需要一种“自美其美，美人之美，美美与共，天下大同”的豁达态度，在文化交流与碰撞中发现并传播中国文化精髓。
　　最近的“李安获奥奖”就是一例。有趣的是，发表获奖感言时，他说自己是一个“笨小孩”。这就是我们黄皮肤的“谦虚”和内敛。2001年，2006年，2013年，李安在奥斯卡历史上3次用中文跟世界说谢谢。第85届奥斯卡颁奖典礼上，华人导演李安击败对手斯蒂芬?斯皮尔伯格，凭借《少年派的奇幻漂流》共获得最佳导演等4项奖，成就本届奥斯卡得奖最多的影片。尽管李安是中国台湾人，但谁能否认他作品中奇幻般的中国元素呢!
　　去年作家莫言获诺贝尔文学奖，又是一例。作家王蒙说，莫言获得世界最高文学大奖，他独一无二的的中国故事讲述风格功不可没。
　　这些都证明，中国文化的魅力不可阻挡。当今世界文化交流越来越密切，随之产生的文化碰撞也越来越强烈，中国人必须勇敢地迎接这一挑战，绝不能逃避。去年2月，国家副主席习近平访美期间宣布将进口美国大片的数量提高到34部。5月，大连万达与全球第二大院线集团AMC签署并购协议，一跃成为全球最大院线运营商。还有遍布世界各地数百所孔子学院的隆重建立。这些都是“中国故事”走向世界的最好例证。我们不能在《泰濉泛汀段饔谓的А分忻允В颐堑母魑幕爬啾匦氩欢洗葱拢ㄓ胁欢嫌弥泄蔚亩捞伧攘θフ鞣澜纾呕岬玫狡毡槿贤
　　十八大顺利召开、新领导树新风强反腐勤俭务实、小康社会的中国步伐越来越坚实、“最美精神”之花开遍中国大地，这些无一不是中国故事顺应现代世界潮流的新讲述。
　　“李安获奥奖”不是张艺谋、冯小刚等中国电影人的失败，它仅仅标志着一次“中国故事”的讲述成功。中国梦、中国声音将不断震惊世界，就像中国经济发展令世界注目一样，毫无疑问，中国的各项改革将取得更加辉煌的成绩，令国人骄傲，令世界赞叹。
　　舆论无须长他人志气，灭自己威风。从十八大报告，全世界发现，中国党和政府、中国人民越来越有制度自信、理论自信和道路自信。中国人民坚守中国特色社会主义道路的决心永不动摇，“中国故事”在历史传承中必将进一步发扬广大。“两会”在即，一个持续改革、开放、富强、民主、文明的中国正在展现出更加亮丽的姿态!中国充满期望，这是一片令世人惊艳的热土，我们相信，世界将看到、听到更加动人的“中国故事”!
