"Taiwan's future star export industry will not be high tech, but financial services," says Lin Chung-cheng. This is because high tech is very capital intensive, very risky and offers only narrow profit margins. By comparison, for every NT $ 1 in assets one can extend NT $ 12.5 of credit, in a highly leveraged operation that yields astonishing returns.
「台灣未來的明星出口產業不是高科技業，而是金融服務業，」林忠正語出驚人地表示，因為高科技是高度資本密集、高風險且微利的產業，相對的，金融服務業只需擁有 1 元資產，就能創造 12. 5 元的放款，屬高度財務槓桿操作，衍生的效益驚人。
