安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
Success in these various negotiations had brought me into some notice in New York, and my next large operation was in connection with the Union Pacific Railway in 1871. One of its directors came to me saying that they must raise in some way a sum of six hundred thousand dollars (equal to many millions to-day) to carry them through a crisis; and some friends who knew me and were on the executive committee of that road had suggested that I might be able to obtain the money and at the same time get for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company virtual control of that important Western line. I believe Mr. Pullman came with the director, or perhaps it was Mr. Pullman himself who first came to me on the subject.

白话
卡内基在纽约因多次谈判有了名气。1871年,联合太平洋铁路一位董事来找他,说公司急需六十万美元渡过危机,而执行委员会里认识卡内基的人建议由他筹钱,同时让宾夕法尼亚铁路公司获得这条西部干线的实际控制权。这件事可能是普尔曼陪董事来的,也可能就是普尔曼先来找他。核心是:当别人有燃眉之急、而你背后有能提供资源的一方时,把“救急”和“战略控制”绑在一起谈,往往能做成双赢的交易。
上下文
19世纪70年代美国铁路扩张,联合太平洋铁路资金紧张,宾夕法尼亚铁路想借机扩大影响力。
