Speaking of borrowing at the banks reminds me of one of the most strenuous financial efforts I ever made. We had to raise the money to accept an offer for a large business. It required many hundreds of thousands of dollars--and in cash--securities would not answer. I received the message at about noon and had to get off on the three-o'clock train. I drove from bank to bank, asking each president or cashier, whomever I could find first, to get ready for me all the funds he could possibly lay hands on. I told them I would be back to get the money later. I rounded up all of our banks in the city, and made a second journey to get the money, and kept going until I secured the necessary amount. With this I was off on the three-o'clock train, and closed the transaction. In these early days I was a good deal of a traveller, visiting our plants, making new connections, seeing people, arranging plans to extend our business--and it often called for very rapid work.

白话
洛克菲勒讲了一次紧急筹款:中午收到消息,必须当天下午三点前凑齐几十万美元现金,证券不行。他立刻跑遍城里所有银行,让行长或出纳把能调动的现金都准备好,然后第二趟回去取钱,直到凑够数,赶三点火车去完成交易。这说明他行动力极强,善于调动人脉和资源,而且分秒必争。今天遇到紧急任务,可以学他:先明确硬性条件(现金、时限),再快速列出所有可能资源,亲自沟通,分步落实,不拖延。
