The work went on uninterruptedly and prosperously until the formation of the United States Steel Corporation. A representative of this corporation came to see us about selling the land, the ore, and the fleet of ships. The business was going on smoothly, and we had no pressing need to sell, but as the organizer of the new company felt that our mines and railroads and ships were a necessary part of the scheme, we told him we would be pleased to facilitate the completion of the great undertaking. They had, I think, already closed with Mr. Carnegie for his various properties. After some negotiation, they made an offer which we accepted, whereby the whole plant--mines, ships, railway, etc.--should become a part of the United States Steel Corporation. The price paid was, we felt, very moderate considering the present and prospective value of the property.

白话
这门生意一直顺顺当当,直到美国钢铁公司成立。对方代表来找他们,想买下土地、矿和船队。当时生意正顺,他们并不急着卖,但新公司的组织者认为这些矿、铁路和船是计划里必不可少的部分,洛克菲勒就说愿意帮忙促成这桩大事业。对方大概已经和卡内基谈妥了。几轮谈判后,对方出价,他们接受了,整个产业——矿、船、铁路——并入美国钢铁公司。洛克菲勒觉得,考虑到资产的现值和前景,这个价钱算很公道。核心是:不急着卖,但看准对方需要,就顺势成全,换一个合理的长期位置。

今日一问
你手里有没有“不急着卖”的东西?对方真正需要的是什么?
