What I've sort of done for a career is

我在事业上所做的是
try and solve that problem of my initial meeting,

在我第一次碰到某个问题就试着解决它
where people will--I want people to tell me what's really going on,

我希望人们告诉我到底发生了什么
so I can figure out whether what they're saying makes sense

这样我能分辨他们所说是有意义的
or doesn't make sense.

还是无稽之谈
You can do that in the private equity business,

在私募业务中你可以这么做
which was sort of our largest business,

私募是我们最大的业务
and you can do that in the real estate business

而你们在房地产业务中也可以这么做
because you're allowed to get all that inside information,

因为在收购企业时我们的法律
if you're trying to buy a company with our rules

是允许获取内部消息的
and also the rules of other countries.

其它某些国家的法律也是允许的
If you sign a confidentiality agreement

你会签一个保密协议
