当今闻名于世的许多大富翁,在当家理财方面,有着一种斤斤计较的小气劲。日本丰田汽车公司拥有资产137亿美羌,但公司总裁却规定职员每次只能申领一支铅笔。日本三菱公司一位高级职员用公司的一张公文纸写清假条,被公司创始人岩崎弥太郎严历指责他公私不分,并为此给予减薪一年的处分。台湾首富王永庆,更是小气得可以,连他用的牙签由原来一头尖觉得浪费而改为两头尖。这些大富翁们的小气样,乍看使人觉得不可思议,甚至被人们认为是“守财奴”、“小气鬼”,但恰恰正是他们出奇小气和有着一种超乎常人的抠劲,才创造出了如此辉煌的业绩。 Many of the most well-known millionaires in the world today have a sloppy attitude in managing their finances. Japan’s Toyota Motor Corporation has assets of 13.7 billion U.S. dollars, but the president of the company stipulates that employees can only apply for a pencil at a time. A senior employee of Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation wrote a counterfeit article on the company’s official paper, which was severely criticized by company founder Iwasaki Yataro for giving him a public-private distinction and giving him a pay cut of one year. Taiwan’s richest man, Wang Yongqing, was even more stingy. Even the toothpicks he used were changed from sharp ones to wasteful ones. These tycoon’s sleazy attitudes, at first glance, make people feel unbelievable. They are even thought to be “scrooge slaves” and “cheesy people.” But it is precisely because they are surprisingly stingy and have an extraordinary talent that they create. Such a brilliant performance.
