When we realized that events were shaping themselves so that to protect our investments we should be obliged to go into the business of selling in a large way, we felt that we must not stop short of doing the work as effectively as possible; and having already put in so much money, we bought all the ore land that we thought was good that was offered to us. The railroad and the ships were only a means to an end. The ore lands were the crux of the whole matter, and we believed that we could never have too many good mines.

白话
洛克菲勒意识到，为了保护已有投资，他们不得不大规模进入销售业务。既然已经投入很多钱，就不能半途而废，必须尽可能高效地完成。于是他们买下所有他们认为好的、有人出售的铁矿土地。铁路和船只只是达到目的的手段，铁矿土地才是整个事情的关键，他们相信好矿永远不嫌多。
上下文
洛克菲勒在回忆录中讲述自己如何从石油业扩展到铁矿和运输业，强调控制关键资源的重要性。
