P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 464

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

From Baden-Baden we went to other celebrated German Spas, including Ems, Homburg and Weisbaden. These are all fashionable gambling as well as watering places, and during our visits they were crowded with visitors from all parts of Europe. Our exhibitions were attended by thousands who paid the same high prices that were charged for admission at Baden-Baden, and at Wiesbaden, among many distinguished persons, the King of Holland came to see the little General. These exhibitions were among the most profitable that had ever been given, and I was able to remit thousands of dollars to my agents in the United States to aid in re-purchasing my real estate and to assist in taking up such clock notes as were offered for sale. A short but very remunerative season at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, the home and starting-place of the great house of the Rothschilds, assisted me largely in carrying out these purposes.

白话

离开巴登-巴登后,巴纳姆一行去了埃姆斯、洪堡、威斯巴登等德国著名温泉地。这些地方既是时尚疗养地,也是赌场,当时挤满了来自欧洲各地的游客。他们的展览有成千上万人参观,票价和巴登-巴登一样高;在威斯巴登,荷兰国王也来看“小将军”。这些演出利润极高,巴纳姆得以向美国代理人汇去数千美元,用来回购房地产和收购打折的期票。之后在法兰克福——罗斯柴尔德家族发迹地——的短期演出也很赚钱,帮他进一步完成财务目标。这说明:把巡演做成现金流机器,再反哺资产重组,是巴纳姆的生意闭环。

上下文

巴纳姆在自传中记录他带着“拇指汤姆将军”巡演德国多个温泉城市,利用高票价获得丰厚利润,用于赎回美国资产。

今日一问

你现在的收入,有多少能用来“赎回”真正重要的资产,而不是只维持开销?
