中國國企在歐洲大舉收購引發擔憂
China’s richest man says his country’s state-owned enterprises are short-termist and lack international management standards. Nevertheless, SoEs dominated a surge of Chinese investment into Europe last year, raising a series of questions over the suitability of China Inc as an owner of European corporate assets.
中國首富王健林表示，中國國有企業是短期主義者，並且缺乏國際管理標準。然而，中國國有企業引領了去年中國對歐洲投資的飆升，這引發了一系列關於中國企業是否適合擁有歐洲企業資產的疑問。
Self-made billionaire Wang Jianlin, chairman of Dalian Wanda Group and one of China’s biggest outward investors, criticised SoEs for being slow and lacking long-term overseas expansion strategies.
白手起家的億萬富翁王健林是大連萬達集團(Dalian Wanda Group)的董事長，也是中國最大的對外投資者之一。王健林批評中國國有企業行動遲緩，缺乏長遠的海外擴張戰略。
“The bosses of state-owned enterprises are unable to set long-term goals because their position will be replaced in two or three years,” Mr Wang told an audience at Oxford university last week. “Moreover, state-owned enterprises do not have international standards for their management systems, and have long cycles for their approval process,” he added.
王健林上週在牛津大學(Oxford)發表演講時表示：“國企老總無法制定長期目標，因爲他們在兩三年後就會被換掉。此外，國企管理體系缺乏國際標準，而且審批程序冗長。”
He cited an example. When bidding for a real estate project in London, Mr Wang said, he was given one week to complete or the asset would go up for auction, resulting in a higher price.
他舉了一個例子。王健林表示，在試圖拿到倫敦的一個房地產項目時，他只有一週時間來完成交易，否則資產將會掛牌拍賣，價格就會上升。
“I made the quick decision to go for it, signed the agreement and paid the cash in three days,” he said. “In a similar situation, it would have been very difficult for a state-owned enterprise to make that swift decision.”
他說：“我迅速決定拿下它，簽署協議並在3天內付了款。在類似的情況下，國有企業很難這麼快做出決定。”
