非存则亡
I am not sure about the origin of this proverb. It seems a famous book used this proverb. See:
http://www.businessforum.com/lunch.html
Also see the last but two paragraphs at: http://www.business.barclays.co.uk/BRC1/jsp/brccontrol?task=...
“Companies may well find they are going to do lunch or be lunch. Those who are not proactive may find themselves swallowed up. This year will be a good opportunity to grow scale through acquisitions and firms also have to weigh up the consequences of not acting - a rival being acquired by another rival and becoming an even more fearsome competitor. Expect those with low costs or low gearing to lead the way.”

我想这句话反映了一种弱肉强食的残酷现象，你不吃掉对手，就会被对手吃掉。
