P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 440

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

This important movement of the Wheeler and Wilson Company gave me the greatest hope, and moreover, Mr. Wheeler kindly offered me a loan of $5,000, without security, and as I was anxious to have it used in purchasing the East Bridgeport property, when sold at public auction by my assignees, and also in taking up such clock notes as could be bought at a reasonable percentage, I accepted the offer and borrowed the $5,000. This sum, with many thousand dollars more belonging to my wife, was devoted to these purposes.

白话

惠勒与威尔逊公司的这一重要举动给了我极大希望。而且惠勒先生好心提出无担保借给我五千美元,我正急着用钱买下东布里奇波特的地产——那是我破产管理人公开拍卖的——还想用这笔钱低价收购一些钟表期票,所以就接受了借款。这五千美元,加上我妻子名下的好几千美元,都投到了这些用途上。这说明,在破产后重建信用的关键时期,有人愿意无担保借钱给你,是极大的信任票;而把钱用在购买被低估的资产上,是翻身的常见策略。

上下文

巴纳姆破产后,惠勒与威尔逊公司向他伸出援手,无担保借款五千美元,助他购买被拍卖的资产。

今日一问

在你困难时,谁曾无条件信任你?你又将如何用这份信任去创造价值?
