今年是彭博进入中国内地三十周年，同时也是华泰证券港股上市十周年。这两座里程碑来之 不易、意义深远：对于两家公司来说，这是值得铭记的重要时刻，见证了坚守与成长的岁 月；对于中国金融市场而言，这是发展历程中的生动注脚，映射出开放与进步的轨迹。 近期，彭博亚太区总裁李冰先生与华泰证券CEO周易先生畅聊有关国际化发展的经验、布局 香港市场的策略、金融科技的实践，以及对未来的展望与期待。 当然，国际化发展绝非易事。当时，国际一流投资银行在业务体系、技术水平、资本市场定价 权、对垂直业务模式的理解、以及区域监管环境的了解，均远超国内券商。2017年，我们系统 性对比自身与国际投行在香港的差距，思考如何弥补短板，对于国际化战略的构想才真正成型。 以投行业务为例，我们虽有境内的客户基础，但仅凭客户关系，缺乏专业定价能力、流动性支持 及做市能力等体系化支撑，只能偶尔"小胜"，难以"常胜"。 于是，我们找到国际化路径的突破口——跨境交易，其核心在于对资产的定价权，这背后需要平 台化的交易能力作为支撑。为了弥补短板，我们集中力量做三件事：搭平台、建队伍、做业务。 自此，我们开始对业务结构、运作机制进行全方位重塑，并不断灵活调整，构 ...

Core Insights - Many organizations fall into the pricing trap of offering free products or services to increase market acceptance, but this often leads to high hidden costs and challenges in charging later [1][9] - Consumer psychology indicates that charging even a nominal fee can enhance perceived value and responsible usage of products [2][3] Pricing Strategies - Charging a nominal fee can foster a sense of responsibility among consumers, as seen in the case of Al-Azhar Park, which thrived after implementing an entry fee, contrasting with the decline of Al-Fustat Gardens due to lack of funding and maintenance [2][3] - Companies should clearly communicate the economic value of their products or services, even if they are currently free, to avoid user resistance to future charges [3][6] - Strategies such as strike-through pricing, bundling, and freemium models can help establish perceived value and encourage users to recognize the worth of services [4][5][6] Timing and Communication - The timing of price adjustments and value communication is crucial; informing users about upcoming price changes can shift their focus from costs to benefits [7][8] - Providing a transition period before implementing charges allows users to prepare and understand the value of the service, making them more likely to accept future fees [7][8] Creating Perceived Value - Limiting free offerings through time constraints or conditions can enhance perceived value, as seen with services like Headspace and The New York Times, which offer limited free trials while establishing a reference price [9][9] - Organizations must recognize that "free" is rarely truly free; it sets expectations and behaviors that can be difficult to reverse, making strategic pricing decisions essential [9]
