P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 112
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
It is unnecessary to say that the “President of the New York Museum” was astounded, and when he called upon Mr. Heath, and learned that I had bought and was really in possession of the American Museum, he was indignant. He talked of prosecution, and demanded the $1,000 paid on his agreement, but he did not prosecute, and he justly forfeited his deposit money.

白话
巴纳姆绕过原馆主,直接与希思先生达成交易,买下并实际占有了美国博物馆。原馆主得知后勃然大怒,扬言要起诉,还索要已付的一千美元定金。但他最终没有起诉,那笔定金也按约定被没收了。这件事说明:在商业博弈中,谁真正掌握交易对象和实际控制权,谁就占上风;口头威胁往往抵不过既成事实。对今天的人来说,与其被对方的愤怒吓住,不如先把关键资源和法律手续握在手里,让情绪发泄停留在情绪层面。
