P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导

I expressed my willingness to try the experiment and offered one thousand francs in advance for a license. The chief would not consent and I then offered two thousand francs. This opened his eyes to a chance for a speculation and he jumped at my offer; he would do it on his own account, he said, and pay the amount of one-quarter of my receipts to the hospitals; he was perfectly safe in making such a contract, he thought, for he had 15,000 francs in bank.

白话

巴纳姆先出一千法郎预付,主管不答应;加到两千法郎,主管动心了。他决定自己私下接这笔生意:由他个人收下两千法郎,再按总收入的四分之一替巴纳姆交给医院。他觉得自己银行里有一万五千法郎,稳赚不赔。核心是:当对方看到个人获利机会,规则就可能松动。但这也埋下风险:官员私下承包,合同是否可靠?巴纳姆的取舍是:只要对方敢接,自己就敢做,但心里清楚这是投机。

上下文

巴纳姆在巴黎执照局与主管谈判,试图用预付金代替高额抽成,主管看到了中饱私囊的机会。

今日一问

当对方提出“私下搞定”时,你会先想清楚风险,还是只看眼前方便?
