State-owned banks, the once main element of China"s financial system, have long been duty-bound to take the role as financial supporter in China"s progressive reform even at the cost of their own efficiency and profit. However, this kind of balance is, after all, transient. Along with the penetration of reform, the change of the economic growth pattern, the development of other commercial banks and the entrance of foreign banks, competition has become more and more intensive and cruel.

曾几何时，作为中国金融体制主要组成部分的国有商业银行责无旁贷的扮演起了为渐进式改革提供金融支持的角色，甚至为此不惜牺牲自身的效率和应得的利益，然而，这种牺牲所换来的平衡毕竟是短暂的，随着改革进程的深入和经济增长方式的转变，国内新兴商业银行的成长壮大以及国外同业的加入，竞争已变得日益激烈而残酷。

And thus I met Lorimer Davidson, Assistant to the President, who was later to become CEO. Though my only credentials were that I was a student of Graham's,"Davy" graciously spent four hours or so showering me with both kindness and instruction. No one has ever received a better half-day course in how the insurance industry functions nor in the factors that enable one company to excel over others. As Davy made clear, GEICO's method of selling - direct marketing - gave it an enormous cost advantage over competitors that sold through agents, a form of distribution so ingrained in the business of these insurers that it was impossible for them to give it up. After my session with Davy, I was more excited about GEICO than I have ever been about a stock.

就这样我遇到了当时还是副总裁的Lorimer Davidson，后来他成为GEICO的总裁，虽然我唯一的经历背景只是葛拉汉的一名学生，大卫还是很好心的花了四个小时左右的时间，好好地给我上了一课，我想大概没有人能够像我这样，可以幸运地接受如何经营保险业的半天课程，大卫很坦白地告诉我，GEICO的竞争优势在于-直接行销，这使得该公司相较于一般竞争同业必须透过传统的业务仲介的经营方式所负担的成本要低得许多，后者受限传统无法摆脱行之有年的行销网络，而在上过大卫的课之后，GEICO也成为我有生以来觉得最心动的一支股票。

It would be fallacious, however, to conclude from this single-year result that the super-cat business is a wonderful one, or even a satisfactory one. A simple example will illustrate the fallacy: Suppose there is an event that occurs 25 times in every century. If you annually give 5-for-1 odds against its occurrence that year, you will have many more winning years than losers. Indeed, you may go a straight six, seven or more years without loss. You also will eventually go broke. At Berkshire, we naturally believe we are obtaining adequate premiums and giving more like 3 1/2-for-1 odds.

伯克希尔本身很适合从事霹雳猫保险的业务，我们有业界最优秀的经理人 Ajit Jain，此外从事这行需要相当雄厚的资金实力，在这点我们公司的净值大概是其他主要竞争对手的 10 到 20 倍，对大部分的保险业务而言，背后所拥有的资源还不是那么地重要，一家保险公司可以很轻易地就把它所承担的风险分散出去，若有必要，也可以降低险种集中度以减低风险，但是对霹雳猫保险这种特殊的保险就没有办法这样子做，所以其它的竞争同业只能被迫降低理赔的上限来因应，而要是他们胆敢承担更高的风险，则一个超大型的意外灾害或是连续发生几个较小型的灾害，就有可能让他们粉身碎骨。

In 1922, State Farm was formed by George Mecherle, a farmer from Merna, Illinois, who aimed to take advantage of the pricing umbrella maintained by the high-cost giants of the industry. State Farm employed a "captive" agency force, a system keeping its acquisition costs lower than those incurred by the bureau insurers (whose "independent" agents successfully played off one company against another). With its low-cost structure, State Farm eventually captured about 25% of the personal lines business, far outdistancing its once-mighty competitors. Allstate, formed in 1931, put a similar distribution system into place and soon became the runner-up in personal lines to State Farm. Capitalism had worked its magic, and these low-cost operations looked unstoppable.

1922年州农保险由伊利诺州Merna的农夫George Mecherle所创立，目标锁定在打破业界掮客所树立的高价保护伞，州农雇用专属中介人员，这套系统让州农取得保单的成本远低于一般保险同业，其独立业务代表接二连三成功地搞倒其它业者，拜其低成本结构所赐，州农最终拮取25%的个人业务大饼，含车险及住宅险在内，远远超越昔日强大的竞争对手，而创立于1931年的Allstate也仿效设立类似的行销通路，并一举跃居第二，仅次于州农，资本主义再度发挥神奇的效用，而这种低成本的营运确已势不可挡。
