37_Wall Street Greed is Good：華爾街——貪婪是好的

小編導語：該視頻主要講述了有關華爾街——貪婪是好的的內(nèi)容。23年前，邁克爾·道格拉斯飾演的好萊塢影史上數(shù)一數(shù)二的金融大鱷戈登·蓋葛在一次股東大會演講上拋出了一句驚世駭俗的名言：貪婪是好的。這一價值觀是爾虞我詐的華爾街的真實寫照，雖然戈登最后進了監(jiān)獄，但道格拉斯卻收獲了奧斯卡影帝頭銜。接下來和小編一起來觀看吧！

Well, I appreciate the opportunity you're giving me, Mr. Cromwell, as the single,...

嗯，我很感激你給我的機會，克倫威爾先生，作為單一的、

...largest shareholder in Teldar Paper, to speak.

最大的泰達紙業(yè)股東，來發(fā)表講話。

Well, ladies and gentlemen, we're not here to indulge in fantasy,...

嗯，女士們,先生們, 我們在這里并不是為了沉湎于幻想之中，...

...but in political and economic reality.

而是在談論政治和經(jīng)濟的現(xiàn)實。

America, America has become a second-rate power.

美國，美國已成為一個二流的政權。

Its trade deficit and its fiscal deficit are at nightmare proportions.

其貿(mào)易逆差和財政赤字是噩夢般的比例。

Now, in the days of the free market, when our country was a top industrial power,...

現(xiàn)在，在自由市場的日子里，當我們的國家是一個工業(yè)強國…

The Carnegies, the Mellons, the men that built this great industrial empire, made sure of it...

卡耐基、梅隆、那些建立這個偉大工業(yè)帝國的人們對它表示肯定...

..because it was their money at stake.

因為這是他們在緊要關頭的錢。

Today, management has no stake in the company!

現(xiàn)今，在公司，管理人員沒有股份。

Altogether, these men sitting up here own less than three percent of the company.

And where does Mr. Cromwell put his million - dollar salary?

Not in Teldar stock; he owns less than one percent.

You own the company.

That's right, you, the stockholder.

And you are all being royally screwed over by these, these bureaucrats,...

...with their steak lunches, their hunting and fishing trips,...

... their corporate jets and golden parachutes.

This is an outrage!

You're out of line, Gekko!

Teldar Paper, Mr. Cromwell, Teldar Paper has 33 different vice presidents,...

...each earning over 200,000 dollars a year.

Now, I have spent the last two months analyzing...

...what all these guys do and I still can't figure it out.

One thing I do know is that our paper company lost...

...110 million dollars last year, and I'll bet that half of that was spent...

...in all the paperwork going back and forth between all these vice presidents.

The new law of evolution in corporate America seems to be survival of the unfittest.

Well, in my book, you either do it right or you get eliminated.

In the last seven deals that I've been involved with,...

Thank you.

I am not a destroyer of companies.

I am a liberator of them.

The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good.

Greed is right.

Greed works.

Greed, in all of its forms: greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge,...

...has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed,...

...you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper,...

...but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.

Thank you very much.

...there was accountability to the stockholder.

...there were 2.5 million stockholders who have made a pre - tax profit of 12 billion dollars.

Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of evolutionary spirit.
