P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Nothing could have pleased me better. He then asked me what security I could offer in case he concluded to make the purchase for me, and it was finally agreed that, if he should do so, he should retain the property till it was entirely paid for, and should also appoint a ticket-taker and accountant (at my expense), who should render him a weekly statement. I was further to take an apartment hitherto used as a billiard room in an adjoining building, allowing therefor, $500 a year, making a total rent of $3,000 per annum, on a lease of ten years. He then told me to see the administrator and heirs of the estate, to get their best terms, and to meet him on his return to town a week from that time.

白话
对方愿意替巴纳姆买下博物馆，巴纳姆非常高兴。对方问他能提供什么担保，最后双方约定：对方先保留产权，直到全部款项付清；对方还派一名检票员和会计（工资由巴纳姆出），每周向他汇报账目。巴纳姆还要租下隔壁一间台球室，年租金五百美元，加上博物馆租金共三千美元一年，租期十年。对方让他去找管理人和继承人谈最好的条件，一周后再见面。这说明：别人出钱时，会用控制权和监督来降低风险；接受这些条件，才能换来机会。
