The blast-furnace department was no sooner added than another step was seen to be essential to our independence and success. The supply of superior coke was a fixed quantity--the Connellsville field being defined. We found that we could not get on without a supply of the fuel essential to the smelting of pig iron; and a very thorough investigation of the question led us to the conclusion that the Frick Coke Company had not only the best coal and coke property, but that it had in Mr. Frick himself a man with a positive genius for its management. He had proved his ability by starting as a poor railway clerk and succeeding. In 1882 we purchased one half of the stock of this company, and by subsequent purchases from other holders we became owners of the great bulk of the shares.

白话
高炉部门刚建好，卡内基就发现必须解决焦炭供应才能独立和成功。优质焦炭产地有限，没有稳定燃料就炼不出铁。他们仔细调查后认定，弗里克焦炭公司不仅有最好的煤和焦炭资源，而且弗里克本人有管理天才——他从穷铁路职员做起，证明了自己的能力。1882年他们买下该公司一半股份，后来继续收购，最终成为大股东。核心是：关键原材料要向上游整合，而整合时既要看资源，更要看人。
