P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 201
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
While dining one day with my friend, Dr. Brewster, in Paris, all the company present were in raptures over some very fine “Lafitte” wine on the table, and the usual exclamations, “delicious!” and “fruity!” were heard on all sides. When I went to the south of France, the Doctor gave me a letter of introduction to Lafitte’s agent, Mr. Good, at Bordeaux, and I was shown through the extensive cellar of the establishment. The agent talked learnedly, almost affectionately, about the choice and exclusive vineyards of the establishment, and how the stones in the ground retailed the warmth derived from the sun during the day throughout the night, thus mellowing and maturing the grapes, and resulting in the production of a peculiar wine which was possible to no other plot of ground in the entire grape country.

白话
巴纳姆在巴黎喝到一款拉菲葡萄酒，众人赞不绝口。后来他到法国南部，拉菲酒庄的代理商带他参观酒窖，并大谈特谈那片葡萄园的独特之处：园中石头白天吸热、夜里慢慢释放，使葡萄成熟得恰到好处，酿出别处无法复制的风味。巴纳姆记下这段经历，其实是在观察“稀缺性”和“故事”如何被用来抬高商品价值。对今天的启示是：好东西往往有具体的地理和工艺原因，但营销者会把这些原因讲成传奇；作为买家，要分清哪些是真实条件，哪些是包装话术，别被“独一无二”的说法轻易打动。
