P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 348
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
A citizen of Madison had applied to me on our first arrival in Louisville, for a concert in that place. I replied that the town was too small to afford it, whereupon he offered to take the management of it into his own hands, and pay me $5,000 for the receipts. The last concert at Louisville, and the concerts at Natchez and Wheeling were given under a similar agreement, though with better pecuniary results than at Madison. As the steamer from Louisville to Cincinnati would arrive at Madison about sundown, and would wait long enough for us to give a concert, I agreed to his proposition.

白话
巴纳姆一行刚到路易斯维尔时,麦迪逊一位市民就来找他,想在当地办一场音乐会。巴纳姆回答镇子太小,办不起来。那人便提出自己接手管理,并付给巴纳姆五千美元作为收入。路易斯维尔最后一场音乐会,以及纳奇兹和惠灵的几场,也按类似协议进行,只是收益比麦迪逊好。从路易斯维尔到辛辛那提的汽船会在日落时到麦迪逊,并停留足够时间让他们办音乐会,巴纳姆便同意了。核心是:巴纳姆用“保底收入”的方式降低风险,把地方小市场的经营交给本地人。这提醒我们,进入陌生小市场时,可以借助本地合作者,用保底协议保护自己,同时让对方承担运营风险。
上下文
巴纳姆带珍妮·林德巡演时,常与地方 promoter 合作,在中小城市办音乐会。
今日一问
面对小市场机会,你会选择保底合作还是亲自运营?
