巴菲特开接班人条件:首先他得非常有钱,其次不是为了多赚钱 -
巴菲特 - IT资讯
当地时间5月6日,沃伦?巴菲特的伯克希尔?哈撒韦公司第52次股东周年大会在美国召开。在今年的大会上,“股神”巴菲特例行将与股东展开历时五个小时的问答。
外界普遍猜测,本届股东大会将是今年87岁高龄的巴菲特亲自参与并主持的最后一届股东年会。而关于谁将会成为巴菲特接班人的问题也受到了普遍关注。
谈到谁会成为接班人,巴菲特称,自己并没有考虑接班人的事情。“有哪些人的名字,我没有多想。有很多好的经理人在我们的公司,因为好的公司就必须要有好的经理人。但这些经理人是否能够成为我们的接班人,这不见得有关系。”
当被问到如何选出接班人以及该给他开出多少薪水时,巴菲特和三年前首次被问到这一问题时的回答一样,他表示有很多种可能性,没法一一讲解细节。
不过,巴菲特还是提出了自己对于选择继任者的标准,他期望自己的继任者是个有钱人,而不是因为想赚钱才接手伯克希尔?哈撒韦公司。
“(希望)他已经非常有钱了,他不用担心要赚更多的钱,这是第一个条件,而且已经工作了很久了,他已经非常富裕了。他并不是因为今天能赚十倍以上的钱才来这里工作,这是第二个条件。”巴菲特说道,“我希望有这样一个继承人,我当然不是谈论我现在想的谁,这个继承人可能会在他们经营伯克希尔的时候,变得非常有钱。但我觉得,这个渐进增长的价值,其实是接近于零的,并没有太多的针对他的绝对价值的提高。”
巴菲特还表示:“能不能找到这些人,我现在不知道。当然这个人的市场价值有多高,并不是我们考虑的条件。也许你会付他一个还可以的价钱,或者给他一些选项,让他能够每一年都增加公司增值的条件。假设他每年都能够保留更多我们的价值,而且可以证明能够替我们的股东们再获得更多的附加价值。”
在另一个谈到公司前景的问题中,巴菲特还提到,任何一个伯克希尔?哈撒韦的继承人,都必须在资产配置方面拥有让所有人信服的能力。
“下十年的管理人,他们可能必须把这一部分钱,大概四千亿的这样一个资本,去进行配置。所以我们需要一个非常合理、非常理性的资本配置人,来担任我们的CEO。而且我坚信我们会拥有这样一个CEO。如果我们选出的担任CEO的这个人并不太擅长资本配置的话,这会是一个非常糟的决定。”巴菲特说道。
巴菲特还指出,希望未来的继承人还在资本配置之外还拥有更多其他的才能,并且不缺乏为公司赚钱的心态。
在此次大会召开之前,业界对于巴菲特接班人也有诸多预测。路透社在一篇报道中列出了下列潜在名单:伯克希尔?哈撒韦保险公司高管贾恩和伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司能源首席执行长阿贝尔会成为CEO的最佳人选,BNSF主席马修?罗斯也是一位潜在的候选人。
除此之外,巴菲特的投资助手托德?库姆斯和特德?韦斯切勒,近来替巴菲特管理了210亿美元,也可能成为继任者。巴菲特的长子霍华德?巴菲特有望成为非执行董事长,并致力于保护伯克希尔的文化。
