国前财政部长鲍尔森(Henry Paulson)因撰写他有关此次金融危机的书而体验了一把“痛苦”经历后，现在又计划写一本有关如何在中国做生意的大部头著作，谈论这一话题的书籍同样汗牛充栋。

2011年4月15日，中国博鳌国际会议中心，美国前财政部长鲍尔森(Henry Paulson)在博鳌亚洲论坛2011年年会上讲话。
鲍尔森曾在2006年7月至2009年1月期间担任美国财政部长，在此期间美国按揭贷款市场的崩溃引发了自上世纪30年代大萧条以来全球最严重的经济低迷，他把自己在金融危机期间的亲身经历写成了《悬崖之边》(On the Brink)一书，于2010年2月出版，书中详细记载了金融危机情况。
鲍尔森说，在写完《悬崖之边》这本书后，我曾发誓再也不写书了，因为写这本书的经历太痛苦，它需要重新唤醒过去的记忆并努力把它们写下来。鲍尔森表示，因此他会用更长时间来写这本关于如何在中国做生意的书，并希望这本书的写作体验能够好些。
他没有详细说这本新书可能会有哪些内容，但他早些时候在谈到给投资中国的过程“去神秘化”时可能对此已有所暗示。鲍尔森当时说，我认为这件事可以从国家层面、地方层面和草根层面去做，中国已经在省级层面做了大量工作，市长们付出了很多努力，草根层面对在中国做生意的负面情绪要弱得多。
鲍尔森说，除了计划写这本书外，他还计划用大量时间致力于增进美中关系，重点关注经济和环境保护方面的问题。他说自己对在中国植树造林和限制热带硬木的非法贸易感兴趣。
鲍尔森出任美国财政部长时，时任美国总统的小布什(George W. Bush)曾宣传过鲍尔森在中国的经历，担任过高盛集团(Goldman Sachs Group)首席执行长的他先后70多次访问过中国。在上周举行的博鳌亚洲论坛上，鲍尔森还谈论了中国人民币的国际角色以及中国给房地产市场降温的努力。
鲍尔森没有说他的新书可能何时出版。
鲍尔森说，这本书还一个字没写呢，短时间内也不会写出来，但我渴望写这本书。他还说，你们知道，我在大学主修的是英语文学，我喜欢写作，我总是想写作，但我一直不想写有关我自己和此次金融危机的书，是历史迫使我写的，现在这本有关中国的书是我喜欢写的，我对中国很感兴趣。

After the 'miserable' experience of writing his book about the financial crisis, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson plans to pen a tome on another topic saturated with competing titles: doing business in China.
'I'm not talking about this much because I'm taking plenty of time, and this won't be like my book on the financial crisis, where I did it in nine months, but I'm also planning to write a book on China and doing business in China, and just sort of demystify that,' Mr. Paulson said at the Boao Forum, a meeting of business and political leaders on the southern China island of Hainan.
Mr. Paulson, who served as Treasury Secretary from July 2006 to January 2009, a period during which the implosion of the U.S. mortgage market triggered the worst downturn in the global economy since the Great Depression, is the author of 'On the Brink,' a front-row play-by-play account of the financial crisis published in February 2010.
'After writing 'On the Brink,' I'd vowed that I was never going to write another book, because it was so miserable, the experiences, just to relive the memories and work to get it done,' Mr. Paulson said. 'So I'm going to take a longer time and hopefully enjoy this one more.'
He didn't elaborate on the likely content of his new book, but a possible hint came earlier in his remarks when he referred to efforts to 'demystify the investment process' in China. 'I think this can be done at the state and local levels, at the grassroots level,' he said. 'So much is done in China at the provincial level, and with mayors, and there is much less negative sentiment on this when you get to the grassroots level.'
Besides writing, Mr. Paulson also said he plans to 'take a significant amount of my time and be engaged in U.S.-China relations,' focusing on economic and environmental conservation issues. He cited interests in reforestation efforts in China and in limiting the trade of illegal tropical hardwoods.
When Mr. Paulson took the helm at Treasury, President George W. Bush touted his experience in China, a country the former Goldman Sachs Group chief executive had visited more than 70 times. At last week's forum, he also discussed the international role of China's currency and China's efforts to cool its property market.
Mr. Paulson didn't say when his new book might come out.
'Word one has not been written, and it won't be for a while. But it's an aspiration of mine,' he said. 'You know, I was an English literature major, and I like writing, and I've always wanted to write, and I haven't wanted to write about me or the financial crisis. History forced me to do that. But I would like to now. And I'm very interested in China.'
