  You said the time has e to tell the lobbyists who think their money and their influence speak louder than our voices that they don't own this government; we do; and we are here to take it back。
  The time has e for a President who will be honest about the choices and the challenges we face; who will listen to you and learn from you even when we disagree; who won't just tell you what you want to hear; but what you need to know。 And in New Hampshire; if you give me the same chance that Iowa did tonight; I will be that president for America。
  Thank you。
  I'll be a President who finally makes health care affordable and available to every single American the same way I expanded health care in Illinois by bringing Democrats and Republicans together to get the job done。
  I'll be a President who ends the tax breaks for panies that ship our jobs overseas and put a middle…class tax cut into the pockets of the working Americans who deserve it。
  I'll be a President who harnesses the ingenuity of farmers and scientists and entrepreneurs to free this nation from the tyranny of oil once and for all。
  And I'll be a President who ends this war in Iraq and finally brings our troops home; who restores our moral standing; who understands that 9/11 is not a way to scare up votes; but a challenge that should unite America and the world against the mon threats of the twenty…first century; mon threats of terrorism and nuclear weapons; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease。
  Tonight; we are one step closer to that vision of America because of what you did here in Iowa。 And so I'd especially like to thank the organizers and the precinct captains; the volunteers and the staff who made this all possible。

更完善的联邦(16)
And while I'm at it; on 〃thank yous;〃 I think it makes sense for me to thank the love of my life; the rock of the Obama family; the closer on the campaign trail; give it up for Michelle Obama。
  I know you didn't do this for me。 You did this…you did this because you believed so deeply in the most American of ideas … that in the face of impossible odds; people who love this country can change it。
  I know this…I know this because while I may be standing here tonight; I'll never forget that my journey began on the streets of Chicago doing what so many of you have done for this campaign and all the campaigns here in Iowa … organizing; and working; and fighting to make people's lives just a little bit better。
  I know how hard it is。 It es with little sleep; little pay; and a lot of sacrifice。 There are days of disappointment; but sometimes; just sometimes; there are nights like this … a night…a night that; years from now; when we've made the changes we believe in; when more families can afford to see a doctor; when our children…when Malia and Sasha and your children…inherit a planet that's a little cleaner and safer; when the world sees America differently; and America sees itself as a nation less divided and more united; you'll be able to look back with pride and say that this was the moment when it all began。
  This was the moment when the improbable beat what Washington always said was inevitable。
  This was the moment when we tore down barriers that have divided us for too long … when we rallied people of all parties and ages to a mon cause; when we finally gave Americans who'd never participated in politics a reason to stand up and to do so。
  This was the moment when we finally beat back the politics of fear; and doubt; and cynicism; the politics where we tear each other down instead of lifting this country up。 This was the moment。
  Years from now; you'll look back and you'll say that this was the moment … this was the place … where America remembered what it means to hope。
  For many months; we've been teased; even derided for talking about hope。
  But we always knew that hope is not blind optimism。 It's not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path。 It's not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight。 Hope is that thing inside us that insists; despite all evidence to the contrary; that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it; and to work for it; and to fight for it。
  Hope is what I saw in the eyes of the young woman in Cedar Rapids who works the night shift after a full day of college and still can't afford health care for a sister who's ill; a young woman who still believes that this country will give her the chance to live out her dreams。
  Hope is what I heard in the voice of the New Hampshire woman who told me that she hasn't been able to breathe since her nephew left for Iraq; who still goes to bed each night praying for his safe return。
  Hope is what led a band of colonists to rise up against an empire; what led the greatest of generations to free a continent and heal a nation; what led young women and young men to sit at lunch counters and brave fire hoses and march through Selma and Montgomery for freedom's cause。
  Hope…hope…is what led me here today … with a father from Kenya; a mother from Kansas; and a story that could only happen in the United States of America。 Hope is the bedrock of this nation; the belief that our destiny will not be written for us; but by us; by all those men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is; who have the courage to remake the world as it should be。
  That is what we started here in Iowa; and that is the message we can now carry to New Hampshire and beyond; the same message we had when we were up and when we were down; the one that can change this country brick by brick; block by block; calloused hand by calloused hand … that together; ordinary people can do extraordinary things; because we are not a collection of Red States and Blue States; we are the United States of America; and at this moment; in this election; we are ready to believe again。 Thank you; Iowa。
  

推荐序  老谭的智慧(1)
分众传媒创始人,董事长  江南春
  初识老谭,是在2005年3月的上海,一个阳光明媚的中午,迎来了老谭的到访。其实很早就听说过老谭,从UT斯达康、微软曾经叱咤风云的高管到8848的CEO,在我的印象中,老谭是属于带着闪亮光环的“海归”,明显有别于我们这些“草根”出身的创业者。
  当老谭出现在我办公室里时,与想象中相去甚远,既无国际化的时尚外观也无互联网化的前卫气息,质朴的穿着和务实的谈话使我们迅速接近。当十二点半我们俩在一个极为普通的餐厅里共进午餐时,老谭说:“我计划将北京、上海、广州、深圳四地的十多家电梯海报公司整合成一家,并将这家公司整合上市。”作为业内资深人士,我听后一笑置之,这几乎是一个不可能完成的任务。谁都知道,这十几家公司各自为阵,每个公司创业者的出身都不尽相同,平时残酷的竞争也使彼此之间被明显妖魔化,要把不同产权关系、不同文化背景、不同地域、不同实力价值的公司整合为一家公司,谈何容易。我当时盘算:这是即使当时手中有着数千万美元、上市在即的分众也不敢想象的事情,怎么可能被老谭这样一个人做到?在一笑之间,我依旧不想扫了老谭的兴致,待到结束时,我说:“这似乎是一件很困难的事,如果你做得成,分众十分愿意和你展开合作。”
  这句话其实是一句客套话,几个月之后我就去了美国路演,并于2007年7月13日带领分众登陆纳斯达克。回来还不到一个月,老谭就来上海和我见面,这次他带给我一个意外的消息,他说他用了几个月时间已如愿以偿地把市场上原来都只赚几百万人民币的电梯海报公司收购并整合成一家了,由于市场占有率超过90%,所以场地租金的上升态势被抑制了,而价格战也已熄火了,把握着定价权的新框架媒介,明年将有千万级美元的利润。
  在我惊讶之余,老谭又迅速地将三个选择放在我的面前:
  (1) 独立上市;
  (2) 卖给分众;
  (3) 与当时分众的最大竞争对手聚众整合。
  在那一瞬间,我知道我别无选择,老谭超速度的整合已牢牢地把握了主动权。接下来就是一连串的谈判,最终刚刚上市3个月的分众,在10月份宣布出价亿美元收购框架媒介(以下简称框架),而老谭选择了80%的换股而非现金,换股价24美元。当老谭及其股东最后一次出售手中持有的股权时,价格已比当初的24美元足足高了五倍,也就是说老谭用5000万人民币发起的整合最终在资本市场兑现了5亿美元。
  这就是老谭的传奇之处。
  IDG的董事长麦戈文说:“媒体的利润来自于想象力。”而老谭的框架一役恰好是想象力的最佳体现。论当时在传媒界的实力、资源和影响,分众传媒(以下简称分众)明显高于老谭个人,但为何框架这件神奇的事,最终不是分众而是由老谭个人来完成呢?这是我2005年末问自己最多的一个问题。
  历史就是历史,历史不能重来。没有想象力就没有超额的利润率,这就是老谭的智慧,用整合重构竞争格局,在一个细分市场里创造了一个资本神话。当然,时至今日老谭又以超强的执行力带领新框架创下年赢利3亿多人民币的辉煌战绩,成为分众板块上第二大的利润贡献源,而老谭入主分众集团担任总裁以后,更以超强的管理能力带领分众创下了年收入40亿元的骄人战绩,市值超过70亿美元,从纳斯达克的5500只股票中脱颖而出,成功入选纳斯达克100强成份股指数。
  我常说:“分众的智慧一半来自我,另一半则来自老谭。”正是由于老谭在细分领域的新框架整合,对我的思维构成了强烈冲击,随后才有了分众对聚众、分众对玺诚、分众对好耶为代表的互联网广告板块,以及以分众对凯威点告为代表的手机广告板块的收购,每一块整合就像是对老谭框架模式的一次翻版,于是才有了今天分众作为中国最大的数字化媒体,横跨数字户外、互联网广告、手机广告三大版图,并在每个领域都保持着遥遥领先的格局。在每一次重大收购之际,老谭的支持与肯定往往是我下定决心的重要动力。
  老谭不是广告人出身,却是我在广告界最尊重、最推崇的人。一个人的名字往往预示了这个人的特征与命运,老谭的名字天生与智慧相连,所以他不仅用智慧改变了自己的命运,也改变了许多人的命运,这其中包括我、包括今天的分众……
  

前言  联合的力量(1)
胥英杰
  本书所叙述的框架媒介的故事发生在2005年。
  那一年的10月,上市仅3个月的分众传媒宣布收购框架媒介,从此拉开分众整合户外及新媒体广告市场的大幕。按照通常的惯例,媒体统统把镜头对准了“胜利者”分众,对框架则大多一带而过。与大多数人一样,当时我们对框架的这起合并案也没给予太多的关注。
  我们整个创作队成员中,我因为与谭智曾经同在微软中国工作的缘故与之相熟。2007年初,通过我的推荐,AAMA亚杰商会“摇篮计划”正式邀请时任分众传媒总裁和框架媒介董事长的谭智出任摇篮计划2007年度导师,为年轻创业家进行培训与指导。AAMA亚杰商会“摇篮计划”是一个具有“公益”特征的项目。“摇篮计划”每年寻找10位商界领袖一对一地培养20位富有潜力的创业企业家。通过AAMA和“摇篮计划”,谭智与时任AAMA执委会副秘书长及“摇篮计划”负责人之一的彭志强相识。
  2007年的4月14日,在AAMA亚杰商会“摇篮计划”第一期和第二期创业家集中培训上,谭智亲自讲述了他的“11个月,从3000万到40亿”的框架案例,在场的几十位创业家们反响热烈,远远超出了组织者的想象。此前对于框架案例的了解都是支离破碎或者道听途说,这次全面系统地听到谭智介绍后,我们眼前都为之一亮。我们并非为其商业上的“一夜暴富”所触动,恰恰相反,我们发现,框架案例亮丽的财富外表使得很多人都忽视了它的深刻内涵与深厚底蕴。
  分众对于框架的收购不仅是中外企业界少有的获得巨大成功的并购案例。在这起收购案发生前,框架历时仅8个月之久的行业整合行动已经为这起并购的发生奠定了决定性基础。正是由于框架的整合风暴,才有了分众上市前后迅速形成的分众、聚众和框架“三国鼎立”之势。而以谭智和江南春为代表的企业家和投资家们在纷繁复杂的竞争环境里所表现出的远见卓识、战略气魄以及超强的领导力,也是这起并购案以多方共赢的结局收场的核心因素之一。今天看来,没有分众对于框架的收购,三个业务近似的企业完全有可能恶战数年,最后几败俱伤。而分众与框架奇迹般的并购,终结了“三国演义”的历史重演的可能性,也直接促成了分众在几个月后对于第一大竞争对手聚众的合并。由此,也才有了中国第二大广告传媒集团的迅速产生,并继续快速成长。据悉,分众传媒已经超过了上海文广,仅排在“中央电视台”之后,而分众从零开始,也不过运营了五年。分众急速成长的历程中,框架合并案无疑是关键性的战略突破。
  以国人的传统来看,胜者为王败者寇,胜者流传千史,败者很快被世人遗忘。在框架合并案例中,绝大多数人只关注到了分众的成功,关注到了江南春的成功。在这个案例里,江南春与分众无疑是大赢家,但框架和框架的股东、投资者也同样是巨大的赢家,他们不仅在财务上获得了选择恶性竞争所无法企及的丰厚回报,更重要的是,他们用自己的真实经历告诉了中国企业与经理人:联合胜于恶性竞争,联合也是更具智慧的选择。从这个意义上说,谭智和框架的价值与江南春、分众等显然位居“优胜者”相比,同等重要,同样值得被记忆与传承。
  中国商业历史不应该忘记框架案例,这一场没有输家的经典博弈。
  框架案例曾经被清华大学经管学院、哈佛大学商学院采用并撰写为企业案例,还在众多国内外知名商学院中被反复解读、分析和研究,已经被很多商学院师生奉为经典。但“好东西应与更多人分享”,框架案例值得在整个中国企业界、投资界以及所有立志成就事业的人士中更为广泛的传播。正如鼎辉投资合伙人王功权所言:框架案例的价值已经超越了项目本身,它不仅是一个成功的创富故事,还蕴含着丰富的商业人文的内涵,如创新精神、企业家精神等。
  框架合并案的神速和完美几乎是不可复制的,但是框架案例中透出的精髓理念和价值观却是众多企业家与投资家能够借鉴学习的财富。抹去框架案例的外在浮华,我们可以清晰地看到框架案例中的内涵与底蕴:创业的精神、联合的理念、领导力、卓越管理者的成长历程,等等。只有这些才可以也应该被借鉴与传承,才值得传播与记忆。我们应该把框架的深刻内涵更深入、更###、更立体地挖掘出来,并详实地记录下来,这是当今中国的企业界、投资界与经理人所非常需要的商业智慧。
  于是,在AAMA执委会副秘书长、盛景网联培训集团首席执行官彭志强先生的倡议下,我们几位作者一拍即合,诞生了创作这本书的想法以及初步的思路。
  框架案例讲术的是——框架在短短10个月内收购8家公司又被分众并购的传奇案例,贯穿始终的“联合胜于竞争”的思维主线对于塑造中国企业家与经理人的价值观颇具现实意义。以小见大,“联合”的商业观念不仅在一个企业的微观层面极为重要,放在中国产业界腾飞与发展的大背景之下,亦值得大书特书。中国经济发展到今天,在资源消耗上已几近尽头,低成本的优势也将不复存在。所谓创新发展,需要脱离以耗费资源和牺牲效率为代价的恶性竞争,延聘全球优秀人才、采用或创新先进的技术、推广有附加价值的品牌,等等。这一切,都需要“联合”理念的引导,从而消除偏见,融合
