“ 企业主在乎自己的公司要卖给谁，对我们来说非常重要。我们心中理想的交易对象，必须热爱自己的公司，而不只是喜欢卖掉公司能赚到的钱（虽然我们完全可以理解，为什么对方也会喜欢这笔钱）。一旦企业主对公司抱持着这种感情，就表示我们应该会在这家企业之中发现一些重要的特质，那就是诚实的会计作业、对产品的信心，对顾客的尊重，以及清楚经营方向的忠诚团队。反之亦然，如果企业主只想要拍卖自己的公司，对公司未来发展毫无兴趣，你往往会发现，企业主为求脱手会动些手脚；如果要卖公司的人只是为了钱买下这家公司，那更是如此。如果企业主毫不在乎公司以及员工，这种行为往往也会影响到公司上下的态度与作为。”
------ 沃伦.巴菲特
"We find it meaningful when an owner cares about whom he sells to. We like to do business with someone who loves his company, not just the money a sale will bring him (though we certainly understand why he likes that as well.) When this emotional attachment exists, it signals that important qualities will likely be found in the business: honest accounting, pride ofr product, respect for customers and a loyal group of associates having a strong sense of direction. The reverse is apt to be true also. When an owner auctions off his business, exhibiting a total lack of interest in what follows, you will frequently find that it has been dressed up for sale, particularly when the seller is a "financial owner." And if owners behave with little regard for their business and its people, their conduct will often contaminate attitudes and practices throughout the company."
------Warren Buffett
