黑帽手段与企业发展
The big companies that many people look up to all started out using “black hat” methods. It’s nearly impossible to build anything of scale or stature without bending the rules, and this applies to every asset class, even highly creative non-online areas.The problem comes with the next generation of builders, who try to explain this away with rational thinking, arguing that the values and creativity that the companies stand for today are the same as when they started.
I see this across multiple asset classes, especially in the offline space. This is normal, this is the way of the game.
There was a mining oligarch who bought up foreign countries’ national resources at rock-bottom prices, extracted the cash flow, and then sold them to Western mining giants before turning to MMPE (I interned for that gentleman in 2016).
There was a film executive who would buy scripts from screenwriters only to sit on the options without making the films, thus preventing other studios from developing them.
One artist and a senior record company executive put talented artists into debt by producing their debut albums in order to prevent them from being bought out of their contracts.
One multinational corporation assigned all of its first- and second-tier lawyers to prevent their poor plaintiffs from retaining proper legal counsel, forcing them to settle or give up entirely.
If anything, the world is harsher in the offline environment than in the online environment, where consumers are protected by credit card providers and regulators.
That's the way the game works. It always has been and it always will be.
兄弟 用中文.... 许多人仰慕的大公司起初都采用了“黑帽”手段。几乎不可能在不弯曲规则的情况下建立任何有规模或有地位的东西，这适用于每一个资产类别，甚至是高度创造性的非在线领域。
问题出现在下一代建设者身上，他们试图通过理性思考来解释这一点，认为公司今天所代表的价值观和创造力与它们刚开始时是一样的。
我在多个资产类别中看到了这一点，特别是非在线领域。这是正常的，这就是游戏规则。
有一位矿业寡头，他以极低的价格购买了他国的国家资源，然后榨取现金流，最后将其卖给西方矿业巨头，之后转向MMPE（我在2016年为那位男士实习）。
有一位电影高管，他从编剧那里购买剧本，只是为了坐拥选项权而不制作电影，以防止其他工作室开发。
有一位艺人与唱片公司的高级主管，通过制作他们的首张唱片让天赋的艺人负债，以防止他们被从合同中买断。
有一家跨国公司，指派所有一线和二线律师，以防止他们贫穷的原告能够保留适当的法律顾问，迫使他们不得不和解或完全放弃。
如果说有什么不同的话，非在线环境中的世界比在线环境更为严酷，在线环境中，消费者还能得到信用卡提供商和监管机构的保护。
这就是游戏的规则。一直都是，将来也会是。
