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

SIR:--In reply to your proposal to attempt a negotiation with Mlle. Jenny Lind to visit the United States professionally, I propose to enter into an arrangement with her to the following effect: I will engage to pay all her expenses from Europe, provide for and pay for one principal tenor and one pianist, their salaries not exceeding together one hundred and fifty dollars per night; to support for her a carriage, two servants, and a friend to accompany her and superintend her finances. I will furthermore pay all and every expense appertaining to her appearance before the public, and give her half of the gross receipts arising from concerts or operas. I will engage to travel with her personally and attend to the arrangements, provided she will undertake to give not less than eighty nor more than one hundred and fifty concerts, or nights’ performances.

白话

这是巴纳姆写给中间人威尔顿的信,提出跟林德谈判的条件:他承担林德从欧洲来的全部路费,负责请一位男高音和一位钢琴师并付薪水,两人合计每晚不超过一百五十美元;还给她配马车、两个仆人和一位朋友随行管账;演出的一切开销由他出,票房总收入分她一半;他本人全程陪同安排。交换条件是林德至少演八十场、最多一百五十场。这套方案的核心是:用包办所有成本和后勤,换对方安心演出,再用保底场次控制风险。

上下文

这是巴纳姆1850年委托威尔顿去欧洲与珍妮·林德谈判时提出的合作条件信。

今日一问

你要请一位关键人才合作,是否愿意先替对方解决后顾之忧,再谈具体回报?
