Our friends of the Cambria Iron Company at Johnstown, near Pittsburgh--the principal manufacturers of rails in America--decided to erect a Bessemer plant. In England I had seen it demonstrated, at least to my satisfaction, that the process could be made a grand success without undue expenditure of capital or great risk. Mr. William Coleman, who was ever alive to new methods, arrived at the same conclusion. It was agreed we should enter upon the manufacture of steel rails at Pittsburgh. He became a partner and also my dear friend Mr. David McCandless, who had so kindly offered aid to my mother at my father's death. The latter was not forgotten. Mr. John Scott and Mr. David A. Stewart, and others joined me; Mr. Edgar Thomson and Mr. Thomas A. Scott, president and vice-president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, also became stockholders, anxious to encourage the development of steel. The steel-rail company was organized January 1, 1873.

白话
卡内基看到英国贝塞麦法已能不大费资本就成功,和科尔曼等人决定在匹兹堡做钢轨。他拉上科尔曼、麦坎德利斯等合伙人,还邀请宾夕法尼亚铁路的汤姆森和斯科特当股东,既筹钱又锁定客户。1873年1月1日钢轨公司成立。核心是:把技术判断、资本和人脉捆在一起,让关键客户变股东。做法是列出“谁出钱、谁出技术、谁买货”,用股权把三方利益绑死。
上下文
1873年卡内基在匹兹堡创办钢轨公司,正值美国铁路大扩张,钢轨需求旺盛。
今日一问
你创业时,有没有把关键客户或供应商变成股东,让他们的利益和你一致?
