2000
我们都听到过了这些东西
01:32
But this is about Africa非洲, the story故事 we have not heard听说.
22
67000
4000
但是关于非洲,那些我们以前没有听到的故事
01:36
The stories故事 that we want to know,

30

7000
让非洲成为可供你选择的一个投资机会
02:05
So let's get going because Africa非洲,
31
100000
1000
选择非洲在于
02:06
to some degree, is on a turnaround回转.
32
101000
4000
某种意义上,这里正处于变革
02:10
A turnaround回转 in terms条款 of how it manages管理 its image图片,
33
105000
4000
这个“变革”依赖于我们如何去理解想象
02:14
and how it takes control控制 of its own拥有 destiny命运.
34
109000
3000
如何去把握机遇
02:17
And turnarounds周转 are part部分 and parcel
35
112000
2000
“变革”
02:19
of what I have focused重点 on for most of my professional专业的 career事业.
36
114000
4000
是我职业生涯中所关注的重要领域
02:23
And it all started开始 almost几乎 a decade ago,
37
118000
3000
早在10年前
02:26
as a young年轻 consultant顾问 at McKinsey麦肯锡 & Company公司
38
121000
2000
我作为一个年轻的顾问加入到约翰内斯堡城市的麦肯锡
02:28
at their first African非洲人 office办公室 in Johannesburg约翰内斯堡.
39
123000
3000
它是麦肯锡设立在非洲的第一个办公室
02:31
And there we worked工作 with leading领导 CEOs老总
40
126000
3000
在那里我们与企业家领袖一起处理非洲的问题
02:34
on African非洲人 issues问题, and African非洲人 companies公司 on turnarounds周转,
41
129000
3000
以及非洲企业的转型
02:37
making制造 the companies公司 not just the best最好 in Africa非洲
42
132000
3000
帮助这些企业成为不仅是非洲
02:40
but the best最好 globally全球.
43
135000
2000
也是全球最好的公司
02:42
But I really formalized形式化 this focus焦点 on turnarounds周转
44
137000
4000
而我真正的关注到变革这个领域
02:46
when I was completing完成 my MBAMBA in the United联合的 States状态.
45
141000
3000
是我在美国刚完成MBA学习的时候
02:49
It all began开始 with a fantastic奇妙 phone电话 call.
46
144000
2000
它由一个神奇的电话开始
02:51
It was from Rosabeth罗莎贝丝 Moss苔藓 Kanter坎特,
47
146000
3000
那个电话来至于罗莎白·默丝·坎特
02:54
Harvard哈佛 Business商业 School学校 guru领袖 and a professor教授 of mine.
48
149000
2000
哈弗商学院的领军人物,同时也是我的导师
02:56
And she said, "I want to write a case案件, EuvinEuvin --
49
151000
3000
她和我说到“Euvin ,我想写一个案例--
02:59
a case案件 on a public-sector公共部门 leader领导
50
154000
2000
一个公共事业领域领袖的案例
03:01
that has lessons教训 for the corporate企业 world世界."
51
156000
4000
这个案例将会用于跨国公司的课程
03:05
And the leader领导 that came来了 to mind心神 was Nelson纳尔逊 Mandela曼德拉.
52
160000
4000
我当时第一个想到的领导人便是纳尔逊.曼德拉(南非总统)
03:09
Because Nelson纳尔逊 Mandela曼德拉, as he took over power功率
53
164000
3000
因为纳尔逊.曼德拉
03:12
as the first democratically-elected民选 president主席 of South Africa非洲,
54
167000
3000
是南非的第一个民选总统
03:15
faced面对 a situation情况 of a country国家
55
170000
2000
上任伊始就面对
03:17
that could have slid下滑 into the abyss深渊 of chaos混沌.
56
172000
3000
一个已经陷入混乱深渊的国家
03:20
But he started开始 the country国家 on a path路径 of a positive cycle周期.
57
175000
4000
但由他开始引领国家走向良性的循环
03:24
Now the case案件, "Nelson纳尔逊 Mandela曼德拉: Change更改 Leader领导,"
58
179000
3000
现在,这个案例“纳尔逊.曼德拉:变革的领袖”
03:27
became成为 part部分 of the research研究 base基础 for a chapter章节
59
182000
3000
已经成为罗莎白新书的一个章节
03:30
in Rosabeth's罗莎贝丝的 new book called "Confidence置信度."
60
185000
4000
那本书名为:《信心:创造成功的循环》
03:34
And "Confidence置信度" became成为 a New York纽约 Times bestseller畅销书
61
189000
4000
并且信心:创造成功的循环》一书被列入纽约《Times》商业领域的畅销榜
03:38
and topped突破 Business商业 Week's本周 hardcover精装 bestseller畅销书 list名单.
62
193000
3000
并位居前列
03:41
And why I tell you this story故事 is because later后来, when I was interviewed采访
63
196000
3000
为什么我要跟大家讲这故事呢?因为在那之后,我去了SABC面试
03:44
on SABCSABC Africa非洲, on a pan-African泛非 broadcast广播, they asked,
64
199000
3000
SABC是一个泛非洲的广播公司,他们问到我
03:47
"What is your key lesson, or the key thing you enjoy请享用 the most?" --
65
202000
4000
“你在这里面学到了什么?或者你最喜欢的是什么?"
03:51
because it was a huge巨大 privilege特权 to be part部分 of such这样 a project项目.
66
206000
3000
对于编写这样一个案例的项目是非常荣耀的事情
03:54
The lesson from that was that it was Africa非洲 -- an African非洲人 story故事 --
67
209000
5000
我学到的东西自于非洲,一个非洲的故事。
03:59
that was used to share分享 news新闻 with the rest休息 of the world世界
68
214000
4000
然后用它与世界各国分享
04:03
of what the benchmark基准 can be for corporate企业 turnarounds周转.
69
218000
3000
分享公司转型中的基准点是什么
04:06
Africa非洲 was being存在 used as a success成功 story故事!
70
221000
5000
非洲已经被作为一个成功的实例
04:11
So I want to share分享 with you a personal个人 story故事
71
226000
2000
我想和大家分享下我个人的故事
04:13
about a turnaround回转 or a transformation转型.
72
228000
2000
一个关于变革或者转变的故事
04:15
And that has to do with me
73
230000
2000
这事情就发生在我身上
04:17
because in 1994, I packed打包 a few少数 things into a backpack背包
74
232000
4000
在1994年,我打包收拾我的行李
04:21
and headed当家 off for a year of travel旅行
75
236000
2000
并中断学业去周游
04:23
in the middle中间 of my university大学 career事业.
76
238000
3000
那是我大学学业进行一半时候
04:26
You should have seen看到 my parents'父母' reaction反应!
77
241000
2000
你们可以想象我父母的反应!
04:28
(Laughter笑声)
78
243000
1000
(笑)
04:29
But very soon不久, I found发现 myself from the southern南部的 part部分 of Africa非洲,
79
244000
4000
但很快我一个来至自非洲南部的人--
04:33
in South Africa非洲 -- at the very north, in Egypt埃及.
80
248000
3000
南非---抵达了非洲的最北端,埃及
04:36
And I sought追捧 out the most remote远程 places地方.
81
251000
2000
我拼命的去最远的地方
04:38
I went to the Siwa西瓦 Oasis绿洲. That was one of my stops停止.
82
253000
3000
第一站来到了锡瓦绿洲--我其中的一个落脚点
04:41
And the Siwa西瓦 Oasis绿洲 is famous著名 for several一些 things,
83
256000
2000
锡瓦绿洲之所以出名有很多因素,
04:43
but the key thing is that it was the place地点
84
258000
2000
但最关键的地方在此处是
04:45
that Alexander亚历山大 the Great went to
85
260000
3000
亚历山大帝
04:48
when he wanted to find out what his destiny命运 had in store商店 for him.
86
263000
3000
来过此处寻找他的神谕
04:51
And legend传说 has it that Alexander亚历山大 trekked长途跋涉 through通过 this desert沙漠.
87
266000
3000
传说中,亚历山大长途跋涉的穿越沙漠
04:54
Half his battalion was wiped out in the sandstorm沙暴.
88
269000
3000
一半的军队在沙尘爆覆没
04:57
And myth神话 says that he had an audience听众 with the oracle神谕,
89
272000
3000
在神话中,亚历山大得到神谕
05:00
and it foretold预言 his destiny命运 of greatness伟大.
90
275000
3000
表明它是命中注定的君主(君权神受)
05:03
This was 300 BC公元前.
91
278000
2000
这是公元300年前
05:05
So Africa非洲 had long been seen看到 as a place地点 to go to for answers答案.
92
280000
6000
因此非洲在自古以来就是一个寻找答案的地方
05:11
Now, the thing I remember记得 about Siwa西瓦
93
286000
3000
现在,我能想起关于锡瓦的
05:14
was the magical神奇 view视图 of the sky天空 at night.
94
289000
3000
就是它迷人夜色天空
05:17
With no natural自然 light source资源, Siva湿婆 is one of these amazing惊人 places地方
95
292000
3000
没有非自然的光源,锡瓦就是这样一个迷人的地方
05:20
that when you look up you see a perfect完善 tapestry挂毯.
96
295000
4000
一抬头就看到天空如锦画一般
05:24
Fast快速 forward前锋 to 2002.
97
299000
2000
到了2002年
05:26
I'm sitting坐在 in Cambridge剑桥, Massachusetts马萨诸塞
98
301000
2000
我来到马萨诸州的剑桥
05:28
at the Healthcare卫生保健 Development发展 Conference会议.
99
303000
2000
参加一个保健发展的会议
05:30
And I see the same相同 picture图片, but from the opposite对面 side.
100
305000
3000
我看到了类似的景色,不过那是相反的景色
05:33
A satellite卫星 picture图片 looking down at the earth地球.
101
308000
5000
这是一张从卫星上观测地球的图像
05:38
And it was that picture图片 that made制作 such这样 a profound深刻 impact碰撞 on me
102
313000
3000
那张图片深深震撼了我
05:41
because I'll never forget忘记 it. I remember记得 the very moment时刻.
103
316000
3000
以致于让我无法忘怀。那一刻便记住了
05:44
And I wanted to share分享 that image图片 with you of what I saw at that point.
104
319000
6000
和大家分享下在那一刻我看到了什么样的景色
05:50
The first thing that I saw was North America美国 at night --
105
325000
5000
第一个图片是我看到的北美的夜色---
05:55
glowing泛着, in all its glory荣耀. A warm feeling感觉. Light.
106
330000
10000
灯火通明,暖洋洋的灯光
06:05
And then I saw it -- Africa非洲. Quite相当 literally按照字面 the "Dark黑暗 Continent大陆."
107
340000
10000
然后我看到---非洲。毫不夸张的“黑暗大陆”(非洲的代称)。
06:15
And while Africa非洲 may可能 be dark黑暗,
108
350000
2000
那一刻非洲是黑暗的
06:17
the thing that brought the message信息 home to me
109
352000
3000
它给清楚说明的表明一个信息
06:20
was that this is the challenge挑战 we are facing面对,
110
355000
3000
也是我们正在面临的挑战
06:23
but it's also the opportunity机会.
111
358000
3000
但同时也是机会
06:26
Because whilst同时 Africa非洲 may可能 be dark黑暗 -- other than the few少数 specks斑点
112
361000
3000
因为尽管非洲可能是黑暗的--相对于
06:29
that exist存在 north and in the south and other areas --
113
364000
4000
它的北面、南面或者地区上的其它地方---
06:33
it's aglow发红的 with the light in the hearts心中
114
368000
2000
相对于那些灯火通明的核心地区
06:35
of the millions百万 of people that are there.
115
370000
2000
的成千上万的人民
06:37
Entrepreneurs企业家, dynamic动态 people, people with hope希望.
116
372000
4000
企业家,精力充沛的人,充满希望的人
06:41
It was George乔治 Kimble金布尔, the geographer地理学, who said
117
376000
3000
正如乔治.金布尔,一个地理学家所说
06:44
that, "The only thing dark黑暗 about Africa非洲 is our ignorance无知 of it."
118
379000
5000
“我们觉得非洲只有黑色的,根源是我们的无知”
06:49
So let's start开始 shedding脱落 light on this amazing惊人 eclectic不拘一格 continent大陆
119
384000
4000
让我们开始照亮这片土地
06:53
that has so much to offer提供.
120
388000
2000
虽然光已很多了
06:55
Let's start开始 unpacking拆包 it.
121
390000
5000
我们开始解构。
07:00
Africa非洲 is the second-largest第二大 continent大陆, a landmass大陆 second第二 from Asia亚洲.
122
395000
7000
非洲是世界上第二大洲,一个仅次于亚洲的第二大个大陆。
07:07
It also is the second第二 most populated人口稠密 continent大陆,
123
402000
2000
是世界上第二大人口的地区
07:09
with 900 million百万 people.
124
404000
2000
拥有9亿人口
07:11
In fact事实 -- coming未来 back to the land土地 mass -- Africa非洲 is so big
125
406000
3000
事实上,从大陆面积看---非洲如此之大以至
07:14
that you could fit适合 in the continental大陆 United联合的 States状态,
126
409000
3000
可以把美国,
07:17
China中国, and the entire整个 Europe欧洲 into Africa非洲, and still have space空间.
127
412000
5000
中国,还有整个欧洲塞在这里,依然还有空间
07:22
Africa非洲 is home to over 1,000 languages语言 --
128
417000
3000
非洲是一个有超过1000种语言的家庭--
07:25
2,000 is another另一个 estimate估计 that's out there --
129
420000
3000
也有人估计
07:28
with over 2,000 languages语言 and dialects方言.
130
423000
3000
有超过2000种语言和方言
07:31
But you could say, "Invest投资 in Africa非洲 in over 1,000 languages语言,
131
426000
4000
你可能说“投资在非洲这样超过1000种语言的地方,
07:35
and it wouldn't不会 make a difference区别."
132
430000
3000
根本没有什么效果
07:38
What does the data数据 say?
133
433000
2000
但数据又是怎么说的?
07:40
As an investment投资 banker银行家, I'm in the cross-flow横流 of information信息
134
435000
4000
作为一个银行家,我总处于各种交错的信息中
07:44
and the changes变化 that are taking服用 place地点 in capital首都 markets市场.
135
439000
3000
处于瞬息万变资本市场
07:47
So I want to share分享 with you some of these bellwether头羊 signals信号, or signs迹象,
136
442000
3000
我想和你们分享下这些变革前的预兆,或者说信号
07:50
and winds of change更改 that are sweeping笼统的 this continent大陆.
137
445000
2000
也可以说是改革的风向
07:52
So let's start开始 on that.
138
447000
2000
我们就从这里谈起
07:54
And let's start开始 at the high level水平, on the macro-factors宏观因素.
139
449000
2000
以一个高层次的宏观因素入手
07:56
Inflation通货膨胀, in general一般, is coming未来 down across横过 Africa非洲 --
140
451000
3000
一般的,整个非洲的通货膨胀都在下降
07:59
that's the first sign标志 --
141
454000
2000
这是第一个信号--
08:01
in many许多 countries国家 reaching到达 double-digit两位数 figures人物.
142
456000
2000
在很多国家已经达到两位数的通货膨胀
08:03
So let's start开始 looking at some of those.
143
458000
2000
我们在看看这些国家
08:05
I call it my Z.E.N. cluster.
144
460000
2000
我称它们为:Z.E.N群集
08:07
Zambia赞比亚: from 2004 to 2006, moves移动 from the 18 percent百分 in inflation通货膨胀
145
462000
5000
赞比亚:从2004年到2006年,通货膨胀由18%
08:12
to the nine percent百分.
146
467000
2000
降低到9%
08:14
Egypt埃及: from the 16 percent百分 to about 8.4 percent百分.
147
469000
5000
埃及:由16%降低到8.4%
08:19
Nigeria尼日利亚: a similar类似 situation情况,
148
474000
2000
尼日利亚,情况相同
08:21
from the 16 percent百分 to the eight percent百分. Single digits数字.
149
476000
6000
从16降低到8%
08:27
More fascinating迷人, you have other countries国家 -- South Africa非洲,
150
482000
4000
更有意思的是,其它的国家如南非,
08:31
Mauritius毛里求斯, Namibia纳米比亚 -- all in single digits数字.
151
486000
7000
毛里求斯,纳米比亚--都处在个位数中
08:38
But that's just part部分 of the story故事. You have a similar类似 trend趋势 with currencies货币 --
152
493000
3000
这只是故事的一部分。类似的还有货币--
08:41
currencies货币 going through通过 an extreme极端 time of stability稳定性.
153
496000
6000
货币已经度过了极端的时期慢慢趋于平稳.
08:47
But that's looking at the big picture图片.
154
502000
2000
不过这只是在全局上看到的
08:49
And the first myth神话 to dispel打消 is that Africa非洲 is not a country国家.
155
504000
6000
同时,在第一个观念,非洲并不是一个国家.
08:55
It's made制作 up --
156
510000
2000
非洲只是一个统称--
08:57
(Applause掌声)
157
512000
1000
(鼓掌)
08:58
It's made制作 up of 53 different不同 countries国家.
158
513000
4000
它是由53个不同的国家组成.
09:02
So the very definition定义 -- to say "invest投资 in Africa非洲" is a no-go无用的.
159
517000
4000
因此可以肯定是---称"投资非洲"完全不合适.
09:06
It's meaningless无意义的.
160
521000
2000
也无意义。
09:08
Each country国家 has a unique独特 value proposition主张.
161
523000
3000
因为每个国家有自己独立的主张。
09:11
You can make money, you can lose失去 money in Africa非洲.
162
526000
3000
你可以在非洲赚到钱,也可能赔钱。
09:14
But opportunities机会, boy男孩 oh boy男孩, they exist存在.
163
529000
3000
但是机会,大家伙啊,大家伙,机会可是存在的.
09:17
And this is what today今天 is about --
164
532000
3000
这就是我们今天要探讨的--
09:20
it's about discussing讨论 those very opportunities机会.
165
535000
4000
探讨这些机会。
09:24
So let's start开始 getting得到 into the countries国家
166
539000
2000
好的,我们开始看这些国家的
09:26
and into the specific具体 material材料 and data数据.
167
541000
5000
用数据、材料来说
09:31
I was recently最近 elected当选, as Emeka埃梅卡 mentioned提到,
168
546000
2000
我最近被推选为
09:33

09:45
of decisions决定 about trade贸易 and companies公司 wanting希望 to come.
173
560000
4000
想来非洲发展的公司
09:49
So the first port港口 of call: let's talk a little bit about South Africa非洲.
174
564000
2000
第一个我们先来谈点关于南非的事情
09:51
But not the South Africa非洲 we always talk about --
175
566000
2000
但不是关于我们经常谈论到的南非---
09:53
the gold, the minerals矿物质, the First World世界 infrastructure基础设施 --
176
568000
3000
那些黄金、矿物和基础设施建设
09:56
a bit about the other side of it.
177
571000
2000
谈的是与这些无关的东西
09:58
For example, South Africa非洲 was recently最近 voted as the top最佳 destination目的地
178
573000
4000
例如:南非现在被1000个英国公司评选为
10:02
for the top最佳 1,000 UK联合王国 companies公司 for offshore海上 call-centers呼叫中心.
179
577000
4000
最佳呼叫离岸呼叫中心.
10:06
Same相同 language语言, timeline时间线, et cetera等等. Makes使 sense.
180
581000
5000
相同的语言、时区等等。这毫无疑问。
10:11
Other headlines新闻头条 that have recently最近 reached到达 South Africa非洲

183

3000
南非的新闻头条是:“狼来了!”非常悲观
10:21
But what were they there for? To acquire获得 assets资产.
184
596000
4000
但他们去哪里干嘛呢?为了获得资产
10:25

10:32
to the confidence置信度 they are starting开始 to place地点 in the economy经济.
186
607000
3000
这些事实表明他们开启了它们的商业进程
10:35
Because it is actually其实 a long-term长期 play.
187
610000
2000
因为这是一个真正的长期投资
10:37
Being存在 a retailer零售商, it is a play on the belief信仰
188
612000
2000
作为一个零售商,它坚信
10:39
that this middle-class中产阶级 that's growing生长 will continue继续 to grow增长,
189
614000
4000
一个中产阶层的数目会持续增加
10:43
that the boom繁荣 and the confidence置信度 in consumer消费者 spending开支 will continue继续.
190
618000
6000
相信消费者的信心会增加
10:49
But the story故事 of Africa非洲, and my focus焦点, is beyond South Africa非洲
191
624000
5000
但是关于非洲,我关注的领域。远不止南非,
10:54

192
629000
2000
因为那么有太多这样正在发生的事情
10:56

15:46
But in any investment投资 decision决定, the key question is,
278
921000
4000
在任何投资决策中,有一个关键的问题就是,
15:50
"What is my alternative替代 investment投资?"
279
925000
3000
"什么是我的另类投资?"
15:53
Because in Africa非洲 today今天, we are competing竞争 globally全球 for capital首都.
280
928000
4000
因为今日的非洲,我们和全球的资本市场竞争。
15:57
And global全球 capital首都 is agnostic不可知 -- it has no loyalties忠诚.
281
932000
5000
同时全球的资本不可知--因为他没有特许费
16:02
There's an overhang悬垂 of capital首都 in the U.S., and the key is yield产量 pickup捡起.
282
937000
4000
美国则是资本过剩,问题出在收益率上。
16:06
What Africa非洲 is providing提供 is a diversification多样化 play,

非洲能提供多元化的组合

16:15
Now, when looking at Africa非洲 vis-a-vis面对面的人 other things,

也拿非洲中的国家进行比较
16:19
comparisons对比 become成为 important重要.
288
954000
2000
对比显得很重要
16:21
10 years年份 ago there, were very few少数 countries国家
289
956000
3000
10年以前,我们只有少数的国家
16:24
that received收到 sovereign君主 ratings评级 from

获得国家评级,这又意味着什么?
16:35
Take Nigeria尼日利亚 again: double B-minusB-减 --

16:38

16:58
In fact事实, one of the big agencies机构 is setting设置 up an office办公室 in Africa非洲.
300
993000
5000
实际上,全球最大的一个经纪公司正在非洲设立办公室
17:03
Why are they doing that? Because they expect期望 investment投资 to follow跟随.
301
998000
6000
他们为什么要这么做?因为他们想跟进投资。
17:09
So one of the big bellwethers领头羊,
302
1004000
2000
其中一个带头大哥
17:11
and one of my final最后 points I want to mention提到, is
303
1006000
3000
也就是我最后一个想提及的,也是
17:14
the interesting有趣 thing I read is that CNBCCNBC
304
1009000
2000
我认为最有意思的:CNBC(美国全国广播公司财经频道)
17:16
has launched推出 their first African非洲人 channel渠道. Why is CNBCCNBC doing this?
305
1011000
5000
已经启动第一个非洲频道。CNBC为什么要这么做?
17:21
It's the 24-hour-小时 rolling压延 African非洲人 news新闻 channel渠道.
306
1016000
4000
它是一个24小时滚动播放非洲新闻的频道
17:25
They're doing it because they are expecting期待 things to happen发生.
307
1020000
3000
之所以这么做他们期待大事件发生
17:28
Me and you, the investments投资 we are going to be making制造,
308
1023000
4000
我还有你,我们这些做投资的人

310
1028000

从那里可以得到24小时的非洲新闻
17:37
So that's the change更改 that's coming未来 down the pipeline管道.
311
1032000
5000
这就是变化,从头到尾的变化
17:42
So in conclusion结论, I want to turn back to that very slide滑动
312
1037000
5000
最后,我想简单回顾下
17:47

18:47
That is a transformation转型 in power功率 of ideas思路.
327
1102000

到下一阶段,接下来的四天里
18:52
