However, I began to see that our need for money was being industriously circulated as an evidence of impending failure. Then I began to suspect that, although the rumours came in news dispatches from all over the country, they might perhaps be traced to a single source. This belief was further strengthened when we were informed that a very fat financial editor was at Battle Creek sending out bulletins concerning the acuteness of our financial condition. Therefore, I took care not to deny a single rumour. We had made our financial plans and they did not include borrowing money.

白话

福特发现,关于公司缺钱的传闻被刻意放大成即将倒闭的证据。他怀疑这些遍布全国的新闻都来自同一个源头,后来得知一位很有分量的金融编辑在巴特尔克里克不断发布公司财务危急的消息,更坚定了这个判断。于是福特故意不辟谣,让谣言继续飞。因为他早已做好财务计划,其中根本不包含借钱。他的策略是:不回应、不解释,按自己的节奏走,让市场自己去发现真相。

上下文

20世纪20年代初,福特公司因扩张和税收面临资金压力,华尔街和媒体借机渲染其财务危机。

今日一问

面对别人对你处境的夸大或唱衰,你会急着辩解,还是先按自己的计划把事情做成?
