On the other hand, the one thing which such a business philosopher would be most careful to avoid in his investments of time and effort or money, is the unnecessary duplication of existing industries. He would regard all money spent in increasing needless competition as wasted, and worse. The man who puts up a second factory when the factory in existence will supply the public demand adequately and cheaply is wasting the national wealth and destroying the national prosperity, taking the bread from the labourer and unnecessarily introducing heartache and misery into the world.

白话

洛克菲勒认为,投资时间、精力或金钱时最该避免的,就是重复建设已有的产业。现有工厂已经能充分且便宜地满足公众需求,再建第二家就是浪费国家财富、破坏繁荣,抢走工人的饭碗,给世界增添不必要的痛苦。他主张把资源投向新领域,而不是在旧赛道上重复竞争。

上下文

洛克菲勒在晚年回忆录中总结自己经营标准石油和慈善事业的经验,强调资源应投向新领域而非重复竞争。

今日一问

你手头的项目,是在创造新价值,还是在重复别人已经做好的事?
