余额宝创收29.6亿:称和银行间绝非零和游戏
余额宝是“吸血鬼”还是变革者?昨天,阿里巴巴首度就余额宝问题作出回应称,成立以来余额宝为用户创造超过29.6亿元的收益,同时增加了实体经济可用资金总量。
阿里小微金服首席战略官舒明昨天回应称,余额宝不仅不会推高社会融资成本,相反增加了实体经济可用资金总量,为实体经济输血。
阿里数据显示,从2013年6月推出到2014年1月31日,余额宝为用户创造了29.6亿元的收益。余额宝用户在淘宝上消费的总金额超过3400亿元。
阿里表示和银行之间绝非“零和游戏”。透过余额宝的示范效应,越来越多的金融机构关注到互联网技术的有效应用有利于拓宽传统金融机构理财产品的销售渠道,降低金融机构理财产品销售成本,更贴近用户从而向用户提供更贴合需求的服务。

沪江小编:随着余额宝的广告语“会赚钱的钱包”越来越深入人心,余额宝推高社会融资成本,余额宝是“吸血鬼”的议论也随之而来。作为普通百姓,我们只希望生活成本能再低一点,生活品质能再高一点,幸福程度能再好一点。
什么是零和游戏?
In game theory and economic theory, a zero-sum game is a mathematical representation of a situation in which a participant's gain (or loss) of utility is exactly balanced by the losses (or gains) of the utility of the other participant(s). If the total gains of the participants are added up, and the total losses are subtracted, they will sum to zero.
零和游戏,是博弈论和经济学中的一个概念。指参与博弈的各方,在严格竞争下,一方的收益必然意味着另一方的损失,博弈各方的收益和损失相加总和永远为“零”,双方不存在合作的可能。
通俗一点解释,零和游戏就是“损人利己”,而和"零和游戏"对应的是“双赢”(win-win result)概念,即“利己不损人”,通过谈判、合作达到皆大欢喜的结果。

归来吧! 汇丰银行总部或迁回香港
With HSBC threatening to move its headquarters out of London, one city comes to mind as its potential new home: Hong Kong, the “H” in its name.

Set up in 1865 and headquartered in both then-British colony Hong Kong and China’s financial center Shanghai as the bank that greased the wheels of British trade, the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp. moved its headquarters to London in 1993 after it bought one of the U.K.’s top retail banks in the early 1990s.
汇丰银行于1865年成立,总部位于当时的英国殖民地香港和中国的金融中心上海。它促进了英国贸易。90年代初,汇丰银行收购了英国最大的零售银行,并于1993年将总部搬到伦敦。

But Hong Kong remains the source of the biggest chunk of profits at the bank founded by Thomas Sutherland, a Scot, 150 years ago. Last year it made up 44% of the global bank’s pre-tax profit of US.7 billion, while the U.K. recorded a US million pre-tax loss.
然而,在这家150年前由苏格兰人托玛斯·萨瑟兰德创建的银行里,最大的一部分收入仍然来自香港。去年,汇丰这一跨国银行的44%税前利润来自香港,数额为187亿美元,而在英国,它的税前亏损为5600万。

A big employer in the city of 7 million, HSBC had 30,000 employees there at the end of last year, accounting for 11.3% of its total workforce. It is a joint sponsor of the city’s biggest annual international sporting event, the Hong Kong sevens rugby tournament.

Its Hong Kong headquarters, housed in a glass-building designed by star architect Norman Foster, also is a reminder of the bank’s place in the city’s history. The 47-story structure, the world’s most expensive building when it was built for almost 0 million in 1985, occupies a prime spot flanking the city’s legislative building, or parliament, with unobstructed views of the harbor.
汇丰香港总部位于一座玻璃大厦内。这座由著名设计师诺曼·福斯特设计的建筑仍提醒着人们汇丰在香港历史中的地位。1985年,这座造价7亿美元的47层大楼是世界上最贵的建筑。它的地理位置极好,侧面是香港立法会大楼,海港一览无遗。

香港和中国大陆施行不同的法律,它16.5%的公司税是全世界最低的之一,低于英国20%的税率。
Speculation over the bank’s plans prompted Hong Kong’s banking watchdog to say it would take a “positive attitude” to any decision by HSBC to relocate its headquarters to the city.
关于汇丰银行总部重返香港一事,有猜测称香港银行监管部门将对此持“积极态度”。
