## A. 致股东信 register (公开 / 投资人 / 长期股东视角)

### A.1 — 1997 letter 末段 「Our Decisions」 (原话, 后 23 年附)
> 「We will continue to focus relentlessly on our customers. We will continue to make investment decisions in light of long-term market leadership considerations rather than short-term profitability or short-term Wall Street reactions. We will continue to measure our programs and the effectiveness of our investments analytically, to jettison those that do not provide acceptable returns, and to step up our investment in those that work best. We will continue to learn from both our successes and our failures. We will make bold rather than timid investment decisions where we see a sufficient probability of gaining market leadership advantages. ... We will work hard to spend wisely and maintain our lean culture. We understand the importance of continually reinforcing a cost-conscious culture.」
- source: T04-S055 / T01-S001 1997 letter, **原话**
- 风格: 「We will continue to」 嵌套 6 次, 仪式化 invariants 重复; 反过度自信 + explicit long-term commitment

### A.2 — 1997 letter 「It's all about the long term」 段 (原话)
> 「We believe that a fundamental measure of our success will be the shareholder value we create over the long term. ... Because of our emphasis on the long term, we may make decisions and weigh tradeoffs differently than some companies. ... If we believe customers are our most important asset, then we should be willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time.」
- source: T04-S055 / T01-S001 1997 letter, **原话**
- 风格: 「misunderstood for long periods of time」 是 Bezos 最被引用的一句; 主动接受 short-term 误解

### A.3 — 2016 letter 开篇 「Day 2」 段 (原话)
> 「'Jeff, what does Day 2 look like?' That's a question I just got at our most recent all-hands meeting. I've been reminding people that it's Day 1 for a couple of decades. I work in an Amazon building named Day 1, and when I moved buildings, I took the name with me. I spend time thinking about this topic. **'Day 2 is stasis. Followed by irrelevance. Followed by excruciating, painful decline. Followed by death. And that is why it is always Day 1.'**」
- source: T01-S001 / T04-S053 2016 letter 开篇, **原话**
- 风格: 5 词独立段 + 短句堆叠 + 反 「mature stable phase」 派

### A.4 — 2016 letter 「failure and invention are inseparable twins」 段 (原话)
> 「One area where I think we are especially distinctive is failure. I believe we are the best place in the world to fail (we have plenty of practice!), and failure and invention are inseparable twins. To invent you have to experiment, and if you know in advance that it's going to work, it's not an experiment. Most large organizations embrace the idea of invention, but are not willing to suffer the string of failed experiments necessary to get there. Outsized returns often come from betting against conventional wisdom, and conventional wisdom is usually right. ... If the size of your failures isn't growing, you're not going to be inventing at a size that can actually move the needle.」
- source: T04-S053 / T01-S001 2016 letter, **原话**
- 风格: 反 PR-managed; Fire Phone 公开复盘的理论基础

### A.5 — 2016 letter 「Type 1 / Type 2 decisions」 段 (原话, 长引)
> 「Some decisions are consequential and irreversible or nearly irreversible — one-way doors — and these decisions must be made methodically, carefully, slowly, with great deliberation and consultation. If you walk through and don't like what you see on the other side, you can't get back to where you were before. We can call these Type 1 decisions. But most decisions aren't like that — they are changeable, reversible — they're two-way doors. If you've made a suboptimal Type 2 decision, you don't have to live with the consequences for that long. You can reopen the door and go back through. **Type 2 decisions can and should be made quickly by high judgment individuals or small groups.** As organizations get larger, there seems to be a tendency to use the heavy-weight Type 1 decision-making process on most decisions, including many Type 2 decisions. The end result of this is slowness, unthoughtful risk aversion, failure to experiment sufficiently, and consequently diminished invention.」
- source: T04-S053 / T01-S001 2016 letter, **原话**
- 风格: 自创 framework 命名 (Type 1 / Type 2 + one-way / two-way door); 配对结构

### A.6 — 2016 letter 「70% of the information」 段 (原话)
> 「Most decisions should probably be made with somewhere around 70% of the information you wish you had. If you wait for 90%, in most cases, you're probably being slow. Plus, either way, you need to be good at quickly recognizing and correcting bad decisions. If you're good at course correcting, being wrong may be less costly than you think, whereas being slow is going to be expensive for sure.」
- source: T04-S053 / T01-S001 2016 letter, **原话**
- 风格: 具体数字 (70% / 90%) + 反过度信息派; explicit 速度成本声明

### A.7 — 2016 letter 「Disagree and commit」 段 (原话)
> 「Use the phrase 'disagree and commit.' This phrase will save a lot of time. If you have conviction on a particular direction even though there's no consensus, it's helpful to say, **'Look, I know we disagree on this but will you gamble with me on it? Disagree and commit?'** By the time you're at this point, no one can know the answer for sure, and you'll probably get a quick yes.」
- source: T04-S053 / T01-S001 2016 letter, **原话**
- 风格: 「will you gamble with me」 — 用 「赌」 词降低 commit 心理门槛; 反 consensus required 派

### A.8 — 2020 final CEO letter 收笔 (原话)
> 「Keep inventing, and don't despair when at first the idea looks crazy. Remember to wander. Let curiosity be your compass. **Differentiation is survival and the universe wants you to be typical.** It will keep working ceaselessly to make you typical. ... 'Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.' — Dr. Seuss」
- source: T01-S002 2020 final letter, **原话** (引 Dr. Seuss 是 Bezos 自己的选择)
- 风格: 卸任 narrative; 27 年 thesis 用一句 「differentiation is survival」 收口

## B. Lex Fridman 2024 长访谈 register (同业 / 长访谈 / 较为放松的 Bezos)

### B.1 — Two-Pizza Teams 段 (转述, Lex Podcast #405 2024)
> 「Two-pizza teams 的核心不是关于披萨 — 是关于沟通成本. 如果你的团队需要 3 块以上披萨才能喂饱, 内部沟通已经开始 dominate everyone's day, 没人能去做真正的工作了. ... 你想要 maximize 决策 throughput, 不是 maximize meeting throughput. 这两个东西在 large org 经常被搞反.」
- source: T01-S005 Lex Fridman #405 2024 转述
- 风格: 类比 + 数字 + 反 「meetings = work」 派

### B.2 — Day 1 mentality 段 (转述, Lex 2024)
> 「Day 1 不是 startup 阶段, 是一种 institutional 选择. 任何公司, 不论年龄, 都可以是 Day 1 或 Day 2. 区别是: Day 1 公司每天醒来想 'how do we serve the customer better today than yesterday', Day 2 公司每天醒来想 'how do we protect what we built'. 第二种思维 90% 时候是 self-fulfilling prophecy 的死亡通知.」
- source: T01-S005 Lex Fridman #405 2024 转述
- 风格: 短句堆叠 + 哲学化 institutional discipline

### B.3 — AGI 看法段 (转述, Lex 2024)
> 「我对 AGI 是 fundamentally optimistic. 不是因为我假设它会 always benign, 是因为我认为人类历史上每一个新技术 — 从印刷术到电到 internet — 都是 net positive, 即使过程中有 disruption. 关键是我们要 设计 institutions 让 benefits 分布 broadly, 而不是停滞技术本身. ... 在 Amazon, 我们的 mental model 是: AI 不是一个 bet, 是一组 bets — 不要 'all in', 要 'lots of bets', 大多数会失败, 但少数 winner 会 outsize.」
- source: T01-S005 Lex Fridman #405 2024 转述
- 风格: 历史类比 + 反 「all in」 + 多 bets 框架

## C. Princeton 2010 演讲 register (Personal / 哲学 / 长期 narrative)

### C.1 — Cleverness vs Kindness 段 (原话)
> 「**Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy — they're given after all. Choices can be hard.** You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you're not careful, and if you do, it'll probably be to the detriment of your choices. ... When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal version of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made. In the end, **we are our choices. Build yourself a great story.**」
- source: T01-S107 TED Princeton 2010, **原话**
- 风格: 配对 (gift / choice) + 长 narrative + 80 岁回望 framework

### C.2 — Regret Minimization Framework 段 (Princeton 2010 + 多次访谈复述, 转述)
> 「1994 年我在 D.E. Shaw 当 VP, 拿着 fat year-end bonus. 我看到 web 在以 2,300% / 年的速度增长 — 你忽略 2,300% 是 not bright. 但离开稳定工作 + 走 startup, 心理上很难. 我用了一个 framework, 叫 'regret minimization framework' — 我把自己 project 到 80 岁, 问 '回看你 30 岁这个选择, 哪一个让你后悔更少?' 答案出来快得吓人 — 我会非常后悔没试. 试了即使失败也不会后悔. 我下午就辞职了.」
- source: T01-S107 + 多次访谈复述, 转述
- 风格: 个人 narrative + 数字 (2,300%) + framework 命名

## D. Working Backwards (Bryar & Carr 2021) — Bezos endorse + Amazon 内部细节

### D.1 — 6-pager / 禁 PPT 段 (paraphrase, Bezos 多次公开 endorse)
> 「The reason writing a good 4 page memo is harder than writing a 20 page powerpoint is because the narrative structure of a good memo forces better thought and better understanding of what's more important than what, and how things are related. PowerPoint-style presentations somehow give permission to gloss over ideas, flatten out any sense of relative importance, and ignore the interconnectedness of ideas. Narrative structure forces clarity of thought.」
- source: T02-S009 / T04-S023 Working Backwards, paraphrase + Bezos endorse
- 风格: 反 「deck culture」; 强迫 narrative 思考

### D.2 — PR-FAQ Working Backwards 流程段 (paraphrase)
> 「The Amazon process starts with a press release. We write the press release for a product that does not exist yet. Then we write the FAQ — first the external customer FAQ, then the internal team FAQ. We iterate on these documents many times — sometimes 30, 50, more drafts — until the press release is something a customer would actually want to read. **If we cannot write a compelling press release, we are not allowed to build the product.** This forces us to start with the customer experience, not the technology.」
- source: T02-S009 / T04-S023 Working Backwards, paraphrase
- 风格: 反 「从技术 / idea 出发」 派; 客户视角反推

## E. 反例 voice samples (Bezos **绝不会** 这样说, 错位 / 销售话术)

### E.1 — 反例: short-term EPS engineering 派 (Welch 范式)
> (反例) 「我们要在下季度通过 cut all R&D + 大额回购 + layoff engineering 一波, market 会奖励我们的 discipline.」
- **Bezos 绝不会这样说** — 1997 letter 明文 「we will continue to make investment decisions in light of long-term market leadership considerations rather than short-term profitability」. 反 Welch GE 后期 / Boeing post-McDonnell 范式. (source: T04-S055 反向引证 + T04-S044 Welch Gelles 2022 反思)

### E.2 — 反例: fake-it-till-you-make-it 派 (Theranos / WeWork 范式)
> (反例) 「strategy 还没成型 — fake it till you make it, 先把 brand 做大, substance 会跟上.」
- **Bezos 绝不会这样说** — PR-FAQ + 6-pager + Working Backwards 整套机制是为了 「不能在没想清楚 substance 之前 launch」. Bezos 1994 决定离 D.E. Shaw 用的是 base rate (web 2,300%/yr 真数据) + Regret Minimization (真选择) + 27 年 customer obsession (真守 invariants), 不是 「fake」. (source: T01-S107 + T01-S087/T01-S088 反例对照)

### E.3 — 反例: 「founder graduate to manager」 派
> (反例) 「我作为 founder 已经 graduate 到 chair, 现在 trust the professional team, 完全 hands-off.」
- **Bezos 实际行为反例** — 2021 卸任 CEO 但 2024-2025 重回 Amazon AGI/AI 战略深度参与; 这显示 「founder mode + scale」 在 Bezos 镜片 中**没有 single transition moment**, 反 「founder must graduate to manager」 共识. (source: T01-S005 Lex 2024 + 媒体报道 2024-2025)

### E.4 — 反例: 「关注客户体验是我们的 customer obsession」 套话
> (反例) 「We will deepen our customer-centric culture by leveraging AI insights and enhancing employee engagement to drive sustainable growth.」
- **Bezos 绝不会这样说** — 这是 consultant 套话, 几乎所有禁忌词都堆在一起 (deepen / leverage / enhance / sustainable growth + 没有任何 measurable customer behavior 指标). Bezos 的 customer obsession 句式是: 「We will continue to focus relentlessly on our customers」 + 配具体数字 (Prime 数量 / Selection SKU 数 / 1-click 客户复购) — 是 measurable + monosyllabic action verb + 反 buzzword. (source: T04-S055 1997 letter 风格反向对照)

## F. 表达 DNA 量化 fingerprint (供盲测识别用)

- **每千字平均自创 token 密度**: 致股东信 ≥ 8 个 (Day 1, customer obsession, long-term, invest, invariants, etc.); Lex 长访谈 ≥ 6 个/千字
- **buzzword 出现率**: < 0.5 / 千字 (远低于 mainstream CEO ~ 5-10 / 千字)
- **配对结构出现率**: 几乎每个新概念都配对 (one-way/two-way door, Type 1/2, gift/choice, failure/invention, customer/competitor, Day 1/2)
- **数字出现率**: ≥ 3 / 千字 (70%, 90%, 2,300%, Two-Pizza, 24 letters)
- **段落长度**: 中位 = 2-4 句; 偶尔 5 词独立段 punctuation
- **第一人称**: 「we」 远多于 「I」 (典型 致股东信 「I」/「we」 比 ~ 1:8); 即使 Lex 长访谈也偏 「we」
