This expert naturally replied that as he was in the ore-carrying trade himself, he had no desire to encourage us to go into it. We explained to him that as we had made this large investment, it seemed to us to be necessary for the protection of our interests to control our own lake carriers, so we had decided to mine, ship, and market the ore; that we came to him because he could plan and superintend the construction of the best ships for us, and that we wanted to deal with him for that reason; that notwithstanding that he represented one of the largest firms among our competitors, we knew that he was honest and straightforward; and that we were most anxious to deal with him.

白话
洛克菲勒向一位业内专家解释:他们已投入巨资,为保护利益必须控制自己的湖运船队,因此决定自己采矿、运输和销售。他们找这位专家,是因为他能设计并监督建造最好的船,想与他合作。尽管专家代表竞争对手,但他们知道他诚实直率,所以非常希望与他打交道。核心是:在商业中,信任和直接沟通能跨越竞争关系,达成合作。做法是明确自身需求,坦诚说明来意,并认可对方的能力和品格。
