'Perhaps young people have their own quests and priorities. Probably it will be better to hand over to professional managers and have us sit on the board and see them run the company,' Wang said.

王健林说：“可能年轻人有他们自己的目标和想要做的事情。或许交给职业经理人会更好，我们在董事会层面来看他们运营公司。

'We have several professional managers as candidates’.

“我们有很多备选的职业经理人。”

'The one who is handpicked and later trained to be a business leader should be no better than those who manage to stand out of the others through competition.'

“那些努力在竞争中脱颖而出的人应该比那些经过精挑细选、然后培训出来的企业领导要更好。”
