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

Many of the old creditors favored this proposition; but it was found that the indebtedness was so scattered it would be impracticable to attempt a settlement by an unanimous compromise of the creditors. It was necessary to liquidation that my property should go into the hands of assignees; I therefore at once turned over my Bridgeport property to Connecticut assignees and I removed my family to New York, where I also made an assignment of all my real and personal estate, excepting what had already been transferred in Connecticut.

白话

巴纳姆发现债权人太分散,没法让所有人统一接受一个和解方案,只能走正式破产程序:把康涅狄格州的房产交给当地受托人,又搬到纽约,把剩下的动产和不动产也全部转让出去。他这么做不是认输,而是看清了现实——债务关系太乱,私下协商根本行不通,只有让受托人统一处理财产,才能公平清偿、也让自己从纠缠中脱身。对今天的人来说,遇到债务危机时,先判断是协商可行还是必须走法律程序,别硬撑;该交出的资产就交出,保住信用和重新开始的空间。

上下文

巴纳姆是19世纪美国马戏团大亨,在自传中讲述自己因投资失败而破产、处理债务的经历。

今日一问

当你面对一团乱麻的财务问题时,是继续私下拆东墙补西墙,还是果断走正规程序?
