奋斗与胜利·补录 77 · P.T. 巴纳姆

They were very much taken aback and the sheriff immediately conveyed Henry to prison. The next day I learned that Henry owed his creditors thirteen hundred dollars and that he had agreed when the Saturday evening performance was ended to hand over five hundred dollars (company money) and a bill of sale of his interest, in consideration of which one of the horses was to be ready for him to run away with, leaving me in the lurch! Learning this, I had very little sympathy for Henry and my next step was to secure the five hundred dollars he had secreted. Vivalla had obtained it from him to keep it from the sheriff; I received it from Vivalla, on Henry’s order, as a supposed means of procuring bail for him on Monday morning. I then paid the creditor the full amount obtained from Henry as the price of his half interest in the exhibition and received in return an assignment of five hundred dollars of the creditor’s claims and a guaranty that I should not be troubled by my late partner on that score. Thus, promptness of action and good luck relieved me from one of the most unpleasant positions in which I had ever been placed.

白话

巴纳姆发现合伙人亨利欠债一千三百美元，还计划在周六演出结束后拿走五百美元公司款和一份权益转让书，换一匹马逃跑，把烂摊子留给他。巴纳姆得知后对亨利毫无同情，下一步是追回那五百美元。维瓦拉已从亨利那里拿到钱，防止被警长收走；巴纳姆按亨利的要求从维瓦拉处取回钱，假装用来周一保释。然后他用这笔钱全额付给债权人，作为亨利一半权益的价款，换回债权人五百美元债权的转让和保证，使前合伙人不能再因此找他麻烦。核心是：发现被背叛时要迅速行动，用合法手段把损失降到最低。

投资 · 陈梦雷等（编）《钦定古今图书集成·食货典》

蓋有司不以經國馭遠為意，法令不行，所在隱漏之甚。」其說是矣。然不知庸調之征愈增，則戶口之數愈減，乃魏晉以來之通病。不特唐為然也。漢之時，戶口之賦本輕，至孝宣時，又行蠲減，且令流徙者復其賦，故膠東相王成，遂偽上流民自占者八萬餘口，以徼顯賞。若如魏、晉以後之戶賦，則一郡豈敢偽占八萬口，以貽無窮之逋負乎？《論漏口》「西漢戶口至盛之時，率以十戶為四十八口有奇；東漢戶口率以十戶為五十二口，可準周之下農。夫唐人戶口至盛之時，率以十戶為五十八口有奇…

杜佑说：有关部门不把治国远略放在心上，法令不行，到处隐瞒漏报。这话对，但没看到庸调越重，户口越少，这是魏晋以来的通病，不独唐朝。汉朝户赋轻，宣帝还减免，流民复业免赋，所以胶东相王成敢伪造八万多流民占籍来邀赏。若像魏晋后户赋那么重，一郡怎敢伪报八万口，给自己留下无穷欠税？西汉盛时十户约四十八口，东汉十户五十二口，唐朝盛时十户五十八口。

事业 · 安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》

I returned to find that, instead of being a trusted colleague of the Union Pacific directors, I was regarded as having used them for speculative purposes. No quartet of men ever had a finer opportunity for identifying…

卡内基回来发现，自己不再是联合太平洋董事们信任的同事，而被看成利用他们做投机的人。他们几个人本来有极好的机会与一项大事业绑在一起，却轻易丢掉了。普尔曼对此不知情，和卡内基一样愤怒，并立刻把赚到的利润重新投回联合太平洋股票。卡内基也想这么做，并想否认已发生的事，但他觉得那样明显地和斯科特——他最早的朋友之一——划清界限，既不得体，也可能显得忘恩负义。这里的关键是：合伙做事，授权和退出机制要事先讲清；事后追责时，也要权衡情义与原则，但别让模糊的义气掩盖了真正的问题。
