一我的一位极有才华的朋友曾受邀为李嘉诚写传记,那是十来年前的事情了。李先生在一张洁白的信笺上,用铅笔细致地写下了两排名字,然后推到年轻的传记作者面前,细声言道:“这些人是你可以采访的。”很多年后,我的这位朋友笑着对我说,“我真的希望他写下我不能采访的那些人的名字。”这本原计划在李先生80大寿时推出的传记因种种原因搁浅了。绝大多数的经商者,在听我讲了这则轶事后,都会心地理解李先生的苦衷。
One of my most talented friends was invited to write a biography for Li Ka-shing. It was a decade ago. On a clean white letterhead, Li writes two ranking words carefully with a pencil, and then pushes it in front of the young biographer and whispered: “These people are you who can interview.” Many years later, My friend smiled and said to me, “I really hope that he will write down the names of those people I can’t interview.” This biography originally planned for Mr. Lee’s 80th birthday is grounded for various reasons. The vast majority of business people, after listening to me talk about this anecdote, will understand the hardships of Mr. Li.
