P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 343
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
As I have before intimated in giving details of my management of the enterprise, believing, as I did when I engaged her, in her “angelic” reputation, I am frank enough to confess that I considered her private character a valuable adjunct, even in a business point of view, to her renown as a singer. I admit that I took her charities into account as part of my “stock in trade.” Whenever she sang for a public or private charity, she gave her voice, which was worth a thousand dollars to her every evening. At such times, I always insisted upon paying for the hall, orchestra, printing, and other expenses, because I felt able and willing to contribute my full share towards the worthy objects which prompted these benefits.

白话
巴纳姆坦言，当初签下珍妮·林德时，他相信她“天使般”的名声，所以从生意角度也把她的人品看作一项增值资产。他承认，自己把她的慈善行为算进了“交易库存”。每当她为公益或私人慈善演唱，她献出歌喉，这每晚值一千美元。这种时候，巴纳姆总是坚持支付场地、乐队、印刷等费用，因为他觉得自己有能力也愿意为善举出一份力。核心是：善行可以成为商业卖点，但商家不能只蹭光，也要真金白银分担成本。做法是：把慈善活动纳入商业计划时，明确各自承担的费用；取舍是：利用善名赚钱不丢人，但要让利给公益，才能长久。
