李文:作为艾格的接班人,戴明哲的压力之大难以想象。许多投资者关心,戴明哲从艾格手中接棒后,是否能迅速摆脱前任的影子,表现出其独立的领导能力及个人领导风格,并获得各方的信任。 FT 中文网专栏作家 李文 华特迪士尼公司(Walt Disney Company,以下简称:迪士尼)在2月3日宣布,现年54岁的戴明哲(Josh D’Amaro)将在今年3月18日出任该公司的新任首席执行官,接替已74岁的艾格(Bob Iger),成为迪士尼的新一代掌舵人。 这一消息公布后,迪士尼的股价在美国华尔街股市一度下挫了超过1%。有市场分析家指出,这部分是由于该公司前一天发出警告称,主题公园的市场需求较为疲软,而且现金流可能出现负增长的缘故,但最新宣布的任命,的确并没有令市场投资者马上追捧迪士尼的股票,而是普遍采取观望的审慎态度。 虽然迪士尼公司董事会主席戈尔曼形容,戴明哲罕见地同时具备“激励领导力和创新能力”。现任首席执行官艾格也表示,戴明哲是接掌迪士尼公司的正确人选,但显然不少人心中的问题依然是,戴明哲会不会成为“查佩克第二”呢。 查佩克是艾格物色的首位接班人,在2020年2月新冠疫情期间获委任为迪士尼公司的第七任首席执行官。但由于公司财务表现欠佳,再加上出现了一系列的决策失误,查佩克在2022年11月突遭董事会免职。 而当时已经70岁且已退休的艾格,又再次被董事会请出山,担当拨乱反正、整顿迪士尼业务的重任。为此,一些市场投资者的担心,也是情有可原的。 戴明哲来自迪士尼基层 翻查资料后发现,出生于美国马萨储塞州的戴明哲,早年就读于纽约州的文理艺术名校-斯基德莫尔学院,本来想做一名雕塑家,但在大二时又转向商业领域。毕业后,他曾经在剃须刀公司吉列工作,1998年转投迪士尼公司后,就一直没有再更换雇主。 在近30年的迪士尼职业生涯中,戴明哲从基层一线职位做起,凭借出色的工作表现不断调职和晋升,并先后在财务、业务策略、市场营销、创意开发和运营等方面担任领导职务,后自2020年起担任迪士尼体验部门负责人,负责管理迪士尼主题公园业务,并直接向艾格汇报。因此,从在迪士尼的从业经历来看,戴明哲和艾格有许多相似之处。而他从基层员工起步,逐步成长为公司的高层主管,本身就是一个激励人心的“迪士尼式”故事。 艾格第二? 据媒体报道称,戴明哲这次能脱颖而出,击败竞争对手,获得迪士尼公司董事会的青睐,也是因其...

For decades now, Counter-Strike players have gotten used to tapping the reload button whenever they have a spare, safe moment. Yesterday evening, though, Valve announced that it had decided this system needed "higher stakes," overhauling Counter-Strike 2 's reload mechanic in a way that could disrupt years of muscle memory for millions of players. Until now, reloading in CS2 has meant dumping the remainder of your current clip "back into an essentially endless reserve supply," Valve wrote in the game's latest update announcement . From now on, hitting the reload button will instead make players "drop the used magazine and discard all of its remaining ammo. Instead of 'topping off' your weapon with a few bullets, a new full magazine will be taken from the reserves whenever you reload." While most weapons will now come with three full clips of reserve ammo, Valve wrote that "some weapons will have less to reward efficiency and precision, or more to encourage spamming through walls and smokes." Counter-Strike specialist Thour did the math on the changes and found that 7 weapons gained ammo, 16 lost ammo, and 12 saw their total ammo remain unchanged under this new system. Shotguns seem to have seen the biggest upgrades, while strategies that rely on "pistol spam" might have to be rethought from now on. Read full article Comments

Britain agreed to help refurbish Nigeria’s two busiest ports, including one built a century ago when the West African nation was ruled from London. The 746 million pound ($997 million) UK Export Finance guarantee was announced during a visit by Nigerian President Bola Tinubu to Britain that including a rare meeting with King Charles. It will be used to help modernize the Apapa and the TinCan Island Port Complex in Lagos, the commercial hub. Tinubu joins counterparts from South Africa to Ghana in prioritizing construction of roads, ports and power plants to spur economic growth. Sub-Saharan Africa needs to spend $170 billion annually on infrastructure, according to the African Development Bank. Apapa Ports was built during British rule in the early 1920s, while the TinCan port started operations in 1977. They handle more than two-thirds of the nation’s goods trade and delays at the aged facilities can stretch into months. The refurbishment of the ports “will be transformative,” said Adegboyega Oyetola, Nigeria’s minister of marine and blue economy. “Turnaround times for vessels and cargo dwell times within the ports are projected to fall,” he said. The deal was coordinated and arranged by Citibank.

In this article TSLA Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT The editorial image shows the interior of the new Tesla Model 3 with Full Self-Driving activated. Nurphoto | Getty Images The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has escalated an investigation into Tesla 's " Full Self-Driving " systems, according to filings on the agency website out Thursday. The probe into Tesla's FSD is looking into possible safety defects that make it risky for drivers to use in fog, glaring sun or other "reduced roadway visibility conditions." The investigation, which started last year, involves 3.2 million Tesla vehicles, including Model S, X, 3, Y and Cybertruck EVs that can use the company's FSD-branded driver assistance systems, according to a filing on the agency's website. The agency wrote that Tesla FSD may sometimes fail: "to detect and/or warn the driver appropriately under degraded visibility conditions such as glare and airborne obscurants." In crashes reviewed by the agency, Tesla's system "did not detect common roadway conditions that impaired camera visibility and/or provide alerts when camera performance had deteriorated until immediately before the crash occurred." The probe has been elevated to an "engineering analysis," after a string of complaints about collisions in which FSD was in use within 30 seconds of a crash, including one in which a Tesla driver who was using FSD struck and killed a pedestrian. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The escalating attacks on key oil and gas projects in the Middle East are expected to fuel a new phase of the ongoing conflict, with profound consequences for the world’s energy supplies and the global economy. The Iran regime has vowed to target a string of key energy infrastructure across the region after warning that an Israeli strike on a production facility for its largest gasfield at South Pars on Wednesday had ignited a “full-scale economic war”. South Pars is part of the world’s largest natural gasfield, which is shared by Iran and Qatar. It is located offshore between the two Gulf states and forms a domed extension to Qatar’s giant North Field. Within hours of the South Pars strike Iranian missiles hit Ras Laffan, the site of Qatar’s core liquefied natural gas processing facilities, causing “extensive damage” to the world’s largest suppliers of seaborne gas cargoes, according to Qatar’s state gas company. The damaged facilities will take three to five years to repair, according to the QatarEnergy chief executive, Saad al-Kaabi, raising fears of a protracted global gas supply crisis. “I never in my wildest dreams would have thought that Qatar would be – Qatar and the region – in such an attack, especially from a brotherly Muslim country in the month of Ramadan, attacking us in this way,” he told the Reuters news agency.

Photograph: Reuters The Qatari state confirmed that an attack involving five ballistic missiles launched from Iran. Although four were intercepted, a fifth missile struck the Ras Laffan industrial complex, which is responsible for producing the state’s gas exports. A Qatari government spokesperson warned that targeting energy infrastructure “constitutes a threat to global energy security, as well as to the peoples of the region and its environment”. Qatar’s gas exports made up a fifth of the global LNG market last year, of which about 80%...

Oli Scarff/Getty Images News BP ( BP ) said Thursday it agreed to sell its Gelsenkirchen refinery in Germany to Klesch Group for an undisclosed sum and raised its cost reduction target, as the company continues to simplify its portfolio and shore up its balance sheet. BP ( BP ) did not provide a value of the deal or the liabilities the sale would remove from its books, but Barclays analyst Lydia Rainforth estimated the latter in the $1.3B-$1.7B range. The company said the sale of the refinery, which processes ~12M metric tons/year of crude oil, allowed it to increase its structural cost reduction target by ~$1B to $6.5B-$7.5B by 2027, which equates to ~30% of its 2023 cost baseline. The deal will add to BP's ( BP ) free cash flow based on historical performance and will help lower the cash breakeven for its remaining refining portfolio, the company said. The move follows an agreement in December to sell a 65% stake in its Castrol lubricants business for $8B; BP ( BP ) said last month that it had announced or completed more than $11B of its $20B divestment target for 2027.
