我们要看他们流血 We're gonna watch them bleed.
但一个新的行业崛起了 向铁路发起了挑战 But a new industry emerges to challenge the railroads.
领导它的是约翰·D·洛克菲勒 Led by John D. Rockefeller.
石油时代开始了 The age of oil begins.
很快 范德比尔特和其他铁路公司 Soon Vanderbilt and the other railroads
将石油视为机遇 see oil as an opportunity.
你想让石油和铁路建立垄断联盟 You want a cartel between oil and railroads.
但当汤姆·斯科特和他的门徒 But as railroad men like Tom Scott
安德鲁·卡内基这样的铁路人开始对付石油人 and his protege Andrew Carnegie take on big oil...

美国商业大亨传奇 第二集
请大家与我一起 If everyone gathered here would now join me
背诵主祷文 in the reciting of The Lord's Prayer.
"我们在天上的父 "Our Father who art in Heaven,
愿你的名被尊为圣 hollowed be thy name.
愿你的国降临 愿你的旨意行在地上 Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done.
如同行在天上 On Earth as it is in Heaven.
我们日用的饮食 今日赐给我们 Give us this day our daily bread.
宽恕我们的罪过 And forgive us our trespasses,
如同我们宽恕别人一样 As we forgive those who trespass against us.
不要让我们陷于诱惑 Lead us not into temptation,
但救我们免于凶恶 but deliver us from evil.
因为权力 荣耀全是你的 For Thine is the power and the glory,
直到永远 阿门" forever and ever. Amen."
安德鲁·卡内基的导师 Andrew Carnegie's mentor
在一个雨天被埋在费城城外 is buried on a rainy day just outside of Philadelphia.
他死时伤透了心 He dies a broken man.
被约翰·D·洛克菲勒击败 羞辱了 Defeated and humiliated. At the hands of John D. Rockefeller.
痛失导师让卡内基很受打击 The loss is an enormous blow to Carnegie...
没有汤姆·斯科特 卡内基本会一文不名 Without Tom Scott, Carnegie would be nothing.
-先生 -谢谢 - Sir. - Thanks.
34年前
卡内基第一份工作是 13岁时在一家棉纺厂 18岁时斯科特才雇佣了他
安德鲁·卡内基 At the age of 12,
12岁开始为匹兹堡一家铁路公司工作 Andrew Carnegie begins working for a local railroad in Pittsburgh.
他在那儿认识了公司老板 There, he meets the company's President,
汤姆·斯科特 Tom Scott.
安迪 Andy.
斯科特很喜欢小卡内基 Scott takes a liking to young Carnegie...
雇他做自己的个人助理 ...hiring him as his personal assistant.
好了 把这个和这个拿去给部主管 Now, take this and this to the division superintendent.
是 先生 Yes, sir.
这封是给您的 先生 This is for you, Sir.
谢谢 Thank you.
他并没想到自己12岁就要工作 He never expected to work at 12 years old,
戴维·纳索 卡内基传记作者
他本想去上学的 he wanted to go to school,
想好好长大 he wanted to grow up.
但如果不让他去工作 But the family had absolutely no way of surviving
他们家就撑不下去了 without sending him to work.
安迪是家里的男子汉 Andy is the man of the household.
HW·布兰兹 历史学家
他很早就意识到自己很聪明 He realizes fairly early on that he's smart.
他发现自己有野心 He discovers in himself an ambition.
当安迪·卡内基表现出了聪明才智 And when Andy Carnegie showed the intelligence,
表现出了敢于承担一些责任的勇气 showed the nerve to take on some of the responsibilities,
斯科特意识到 这孩子值得培养 Scott realized that this was somebody to cultivate,
值得调教 somebody to nurture.
汤姆·斯科特很快接连提拔卡内基 Tom Scott quickly advances Carnegie through the ranks.
像大部分获得突破的年轻人 Like most young people who get breaks,
史蒂夫·韦恩 度假村和赌场开发商
运气是重要因素 还有时机 luck has a lot to do with it, and timing.
除了时机之外的另一个因素 And the second factor besides timing is that,
就是作为年轻人 一般我们都会承认 as a young man, usually all of us would admit
有那么一位导师 贵人相助 that there was a mentor, a benefactor.
如果一位你尊敬 崇拜的年长者 And when an older person who you respect and admire
对你有信心 has confidence in you,
那将大大助长你的自信 it's a great booster to your own self-confidence.
24岁时 卡内基已被升为公司经理 By age 24, Carnegie is promoted to manager of the company.
宾夕法尼亚铁路地图
与斯科特一起亲密合作 监管铁路的西扩 Working closely with Scott to oversee the railroad's expansion west.
我赶在合同消息公布之前 So I bought 100,000 shares at $10 a share,
密苏里州 圣路易斯
买了10万股每股10美元的股票 before news of the contract came out.
等到公开发行 When the issue became public,
股票价值翻了番 the shares doubled in value.
知道我第二天做了什么吗 The next day, you know what I did?
我卖了股票 I sold them.
我什么都不用做 I didn't have to build a thing.
关键就在于西扩 The key is westward expansion.
是啊 先生 Yes, sir.
就在这里 我就要在这里建桥 Here. This is where I want the bridge.
就是这里 Right here.
你觉得你能做到吗 Think you can you do it?
当然 先生 Yes, sir.
我认识个好设计师 詹姆斯·伊兹 I know a good designer. James Eads.
他疯狂 但也天才 He's crazy, but he's a genius.
建桥师吗 Bridge builder, is he?
不是 但他干得快 而且要价低 No. But he's quick, and he's cheap.
他什么都能做 He can do anything.
走吧 Come.
斯科特设想的那座桥 The bridge Scott has outlined...
最终将成为美国第一大桥 ...will be the largest in America.
问题是 卡内基完全不知道该如何造桥 The problem is, Carnegie has no idea how to build it.
一座横跨密西西比河的大桥 A bridge spanning the Mississippi River
将前所未有地连接东部和西部 would connect east to west like never before.
下密西西比河 从圣路易斯到墨西哥湾
对任何铁路来说 成功的关键 The key to success for any railroad
就是跨过密西西比河 is getting across the Mississippi River.
如果能跨过密西西比河 Once you get across the Mississippi river
就能向西行进 you can move west.
问题是 要怎么跨过密西西比河 The question is: How do you get across the Mississippi river?
桥至少要1.6公里长 The bridge will have to be over a mile long.
当时建造的桥 有四分之一会坍塌 One in four bridges built at the time fail.
还从未有人建过那么大的铁路桥 And nobody has built a rail bridge this big.
但卡内基明白 没有风险 得不到回报 But Carnegie knows there's no reward without risk.
他将一切投进了大桥建设 He invests everything he has into the bridge.
安迪·卡内基承担了责任 Andy Carnegie stepped up.
他认定自己可以做到 He decided he could do it.
卡内基的一个突出特点 One striking thing about Carnegie--
这也是所有伟大企业家的共同点 and this is true of the great entrepreneurs--
他们愿意担风险 they're willing to take risks.
他们愿意赌一把 They're willing to roll the dice and bet,
日后 他会拿整个企业做赌注 in later days, the whole corporation,
而现在 他赌上了自己的事业 or in this case, bet his career.
拱心石桥梁公司
这不行 It's no good.
为什么 Why?
大桥不能挡住汽船 We can't block steamboat traffic.
这我们讨论过了 We've been through this.
再把悬臂式那张给我看看 Show me the cantilevered one again.
这桥承受不住密西西比河的冲击 It's not going to withstand the Mississippi currents.
那就把它造结实点 So make it stronger.
这是不可能的 It's impossible.
桥上车流人流 The combined forces from the passenger traffic,
加上铁路货运和河川水流 rail freight and the river current
会超过铁的抗拉强度上限 will exceed the tensile strength of iron.
大桥会塌的 The bridge will collapse.
给你 Here you go.
谢谢 Thank you.
没有什么是不可能的 Nothing's impossible.
你得耐心 坚持 You have to be patient and have perseverance
明确自己的目标 and have a sense of where you want to go,
而且热忱地相信自己的想法 and having the passion to still believe in your idea
即便其他人都在质疑你 even when everyone else is saying, well,
史蒂夫·凯斯 美国在线联合创始人
为什么还要在这上面浪费时间 why are you wasting your time on this.
显然是没有希望的 Obviously it's not happening.
但你得相信终会成功 But you know it's going to happen
绝不放弃自己的想法 and you never give up on that idea.
拱心石桥梁公司
我要怎么挣钱啊 How am I supposed to make any money?
这书不止值一美元呢 They're worth more than a dollar.
五美分 最后报价 Five cents, final offer.
这桥承受不住密西西比河的冲击 It's not going to withstand the Mississippi current.
那就把它造结实点 So make it stronger.
如果桥是钢铁造的... Maybe if it was made out of steel...
没有什么是不可能的 Nothing's impossible.
钢铁是史上最为坚实的材料 Steel is the strongest material ever made.
是在2000度高温下向铁中加入碳得到 Created by mixing iron with carbon at over 2,000 degrees.
问题是 钢非常昂贵 The problem is, it's extremely expensive,
而且大批量生产难度很大 and difficult to mass produce.
由于钢的稀少 Because steel is so rare,
它一般只用来做小件 it's only used to make small items.
岔子 刀子 还有珠宝 Forks, knives, and jewelry.
还从未有人尝试过用钢铁 No one has ever tried to use steel
建造如此大的建筑物 to build a structure this big.
直到这时 Until now.
他的目光投向未来 He's looking into the future.
他看着密西西比河 能看到一座跨河大桥 He looks across the Mississippi and he sees a bridge.
他能看到那样的未来 And he's able to see that future.
而且他肯对自己的愿景有足够信心 And then willing to have enough confidence in his vision
投入自己的一切 to put everything he's got into it,
并说服他人相信 and he's willing to convince others
他对这个未来的十足信心 that he knows what that future is going to be.
为完成大桥建设 In order to complete the bridge,
卡内基得想办法大批量生产钢铁 Carnegie needs to find a way to make a massive amount of steel.
他花了很多时间出去考察 He spent a lot of time traveling.
他去炼钢厂 He would go to steel mills,
去见化学家 he would meet with chemists,
搞明白钢铁要如何炼成 to figure out, how do you make this steel?
英国发明家 亨利·贝塞麦 English inventor, Henry Bessemer,
发明了一种装置 has created a device
可将制造一根钢轨的时间 that cuts the time to manufacture a single steel rail
从两周缩短至15分钟 from two weeks to 15 minutes.
卡内基明白这项新技术的价值 Carnegie understands the value of the new technology...
并开始对它进行改造 ...And begins to adapt it.
各行各业都有自己的独到之处 Every business has some uniqueness,
独特的人才 either a unique talent,
罗恩·裴瑞曼 商业大亨
独特的产品 独特的生产力 unique product, unique capacity.
关键就在于找到它 And the trick is to find it,
然后利用它 and then capitalize on it.
钢已就位 With the steel in place,
卡内基可以开始建设了 Carnegie is able to begin construction.
桥的正式名称为伊兹桥
1873年 圣路伊斯大桥
年仅33岁的安德鲁·卡内基 At just 33, Andrew Carnegie
信誓旦旦要实现不可能之事 is poised to realized the impossible...
建造第一座横跨密西西比河的大桥 ...Building the first major bridge to span the Mississippi River.
将美国连接起来 Uniting America.
但卡内基使用钢材建桥的决定 代价高昂 But Carnegie's Decision to use steel has proven costly.
工期已经比预期迟了两年 He's already two years behind schedule.
而费用还在攀升 And expenses are mounting.
"亲爱的卡内基先生 "Dear Mr. Carnegie,
据记录显示 我们并未收到本该8月前缴清的 our records show that we have not received your payment of $35,000,
3.5万美元" which was due on August..."
"亲爱的卡内基先生 "Dear Mr. Carnegie,
我写信通知您 尽管我已经多次尝试 I am writing to notify you that despite numerous efforts
拿到以上发票的最后付款 to obtain final payment for the above invoice,
却始终无果" I have been unsuccessful."
"本函为正式通知书 "This letter will serve as formal notice to you
您拖欠了所收到钢铁的共计 that you are in default of your obligation to pay the sum of $59,000,
5.9万美元应付款项" for steel delivered to you."
"...鉴于此 必须加速收账..." "...and must now accelerate collection efforts in accordance with..."
"...请您尽快结清这笔巨款" "...and you will be able to settle this outstanding amount immediately."
"...否则我们将别无选择 "...and we will have no alternative
只能采取法律措施" but to commence legal proceedings against you."
我保证 这些人如果现在在世 I guarantee you if these guys were alive today
他们不会跟你们说他们的成功 they wouldn't be telling you about their successes.
唐尼·多伊奇 广告大亨
而会说他们早期的失败 They would be telling you about their early failures,
或者那些差点失败的例子 or the places they almost failed.
那是莫大的动力 That's the great motivator,
你必须能接受它 and you have to be able to embrace that.
如果你不能接受失败 If you can't embrace both failure,
或失败的可能 or the possibility of failure,
或是对失败的巨大恐惧 or the tremendous fear of failure,
你就不可能获得巨大成功 you can't be wildly successful.
这是绝对的真理 It's just, it's an axiomatic truth.
由于缺钱 With no money left,
卡内基不得不停了工 Carnegie is forced to bring construction to a halt.
他的梦想变成了噩梦 His dream has become a nightmare.
但他绝不会坐以待毙 But he's not going down without a fight.
现代美国正在诞生 The birth of Modern America is well underway.
火车如今能延伸至北美各处 Trains now touch all four corners of the continent.
全国千家万户晚上有灯照明 Homes across the nation are lit at night.
国家史上最有野心的建设项目 And the country's most ambitious construction project
正在密西西比河岸上进行着 is in progress on the banks of the Mississippi River...
指挥建设的是安德鲁·卡内基 ...led by Andrew Carnegie.
是伊兹主张并坚持使用钢材 卡内基的考虑则偏向实际和经济
卡内基坚持用钢铁建桥 Carnegie has insisted on building his bridge out of steel...
这种材料尚未经过实践验证 ...an unproven material.
而且成本不菲 With huge costs.
工程进展严重迟于原计划 Construction is drastically behind schedule.
而且远远超出预算 And dangerously over budget.
卡内基的压力越来越大 Carnegie is under mounting pressure.
我认为 成功人士和失败者的区别 The difference between people who succeed and people who fail,
在很多情况下 并不是恐惧 I think, in many cases, it's not fear
卡莉·菲奥莉娜 前惠普执行总裁
人人都会害怕 Everyone experiences fear.
区别在于 你如何应对恐惧 The difference is, what do you do with your fear?
你是否克服它 Do you work to overcome it?
还是被它击败 Or do you let it defeat you?
我认为这才是区分了 And I think that is actually what distinguishes
成功人士和其他人的地方 very successful people from others.
拱心石桥梁公司只是分包商 且建桥期间 卡曾靠卖桥债券赚钱
走投无路的卡内基向投资者求助 Desperate, Carnegie reaches out to investors,
寻求资金注入 looking for an infusion of cash.
你会很高兴得知 You'll be glad to learn
圣路伊斯大桥的建造进展... that the building of the St. Louis bridge is progressing-
顺利 smoothly.
我坚信钢铁就是未来 I am convinced that steel is the future;
但是 获得如此大量的钢铁 however, obtaining such a large quantity of steel
着实困难 造成了工期的延迟 is proving to be difficult, causing us some delays.
而且也非常昂贵 It is also proving to be extremely expensive.
据我的预计显示 My forecast shows that
年底之前 我们还需要一百万美元 we will require another million dollars before the year is out.
但我毫不怀疑 But I have no doubt
终有一日 人们会把大桥 that in time the people will come to see the bridge
视作世界第八大奇迹 as the eighth wonder of the world.
真诚的 安德鲁·卡内基 Yours sincerely, Andrew Carnegie.
卡内基最后关头的推销成功了 Carnegie's last-minute pitch works.
他拿到了他需要的资金 He secures the financing he needs.
建造时间是从1867年 到1874年 共7年
最后 历经四年 And finally, after four years,
大桥建成了 the bridge is complete.
最终结果令人震撼 The results are epic.
但卡内基现在要面对新的问题 But Carnegie now faces a new problem.
在圣路易斯 In St. Louis,
一个非常现实的问题就是让人们相信 one of the real problems was convincing people
戴维·纳索 卡内基传记作者
大桥不会塌 the bridge wasn't going to fall.
当时没人见过这样的桥 这是头一座 I mean nobody had ever seen bridges like this, anywhere.
卡内基能预见钢铁一切可能的用途 Carnegie sees all the possible uses for steel.
但他如果想实现这种材料的潜能 But before he can realize the materials potential...
就必须让民众相信它是多么坚实 ...he needs to convince the public of its strength.
大象绝不会走上不结实的建筑物
他想到了一个证明钢铁的计划 And he has a plan to do just that.
当时有个流传广泛的迷信 A popular superstition at the time,
说大象不会走上不结实的建筑物 holds that an elephant won't cross an unstable structure.
大桥盛大通车的那天 The day the bridge opens,
卡内基 这位公关大师 Carnegie, who is also a master publicist,
组织了一支游行队伍过桥 sets up a parade across the bridge
走在最前面的是只大象 that's led by an elephant.
这是一场豪赌 It's an incredible gamble.
但卡内基希望 如果大象肯过桥 But Carnegie hopes if the elephant crosses,
民众也会跟它过桥 the people will follow.
东西汇聚
圣路易斯的民众看着大桥 As the people of St. Louis look at this bridge,
看到它能承受一切的重量 they see that it can sustain whatever weight's going to be put on it.
这个噱头成功了 When the stunt succeeds,
卡内基收到的钢铁订单 Carnegie gets more requests for his steel
他根本完成不过来 than he can possibly handle.
而他最大的客户 是他十分了解的行业 And his biggest customer is an industry he knows well.
铁路想用钢铁换掉现有的 The railroads are looking to replace their bridges
铁路桥和铁轨 and rails with steel.
但卡内基产不出那么多钢铁 But Carnegie can't produce enough of the new material
满足所有订单 to fill all the orders.
他需要扩大生产力 He needs to increase his capacity.
因此 他需要筹措更多资金 And to do that, he needs to raise additional funds.
于是他又去找到自己的导师 汤姆·斯科特 So he turns to his old mentor, Tom Scott.
在他的帮助下 With his help,
卡内基筹到了相当于今天的2100万美元 Carnegie raises over $21 million in today's money.
他用这笔钱 建造了自己首个钢厂 And with it, he builds his first steel plant.
他看到了未来 He sees the future
而且他愿意投资 and he is willing to invest
除他之外 很少有美国企业家愿意投资 where few other American entrepreneurs are willing to invest:
建造这样大的新厂 in these gigantic new plants.
位于匹兹堡城外 占地超过40公顷 Sprawled over 100 acres just outside of Pittsburgh...
卡内基的钢厂是国内最大的一家 ...Carnegie's steel mill is the largest in the nation.
每日能产出225吨钢 Capable of rolling out 225 tons of steel a day.
作为卡内基 必须坚信 You have to believe if you're Carnegie
今后数年里 发展将会持续 that you're going to have multiple years of growth
吉姆·克莱默 前对冲基金经理
而钢将扮演重要角色 where steel is important.
卡内基这样的人 他的信心和乐观 The faith and optimism that someone like Carnegie had
与当今相比 简直爆表 is just off the charts vs. what we see now.
有了新厂 With the new plant,
卡内基的钢产量足以迎合国家的需求 Carnegie can supply as much steel as the country needs.
并为自己赚一大笔钱 And make himself a fortune.
但卡内基的时机简直太糟了 But Carnegie's timing couldn't be worse.
经过多年的过度建设 After years of overbuilding,
铁路行业的盈利突然开始变得困难 the railroads are suddenly struggling to stay profitable.
当时铁路太多了 There were too many railroads at the time.
却没有足够的货运量去维系 There wasn't enough traffic to sustain them.
HW·布兰兹 历史学家
铁路迫切需要货物 With the railroads in dire need of cargo,
约翰·洛克菲勒看到了商机 John Rockefeller sees an opportunity.
为运他的油谈到了个好价钱 And negotiates better rates for shipping his oil.
但艰难度日的铁路公司很快意识到 But the struggling railroads quickly realize
他们的生意维持不下去了 their business won't survive.
于是违背了合约 And go back on their word.
导致洛克菲勒干脆不用铁路运油 Causing Rockefeller to pull his oil from the trains.
卡内基的导师 汤姆·斯科特企图适应改变 Carnegie's mentor, Tom Scott, tries to adjust.
但没有洛克菲勒的石油 他难以为继 But he can't survive without Rockefeller's oil.
他的生意毁了 His business is decimated.
汤姆·斯科特从此一蹶不振 And Tom Scott never recovers.
尘归尘 土归土 From ashes to ashes, and dust to dust.
安德鲁·卡内基失去了他的导师 Andrew Carnegie has lost his mentor.
这个对他来说最重要的人 The man who meant more to him than anyone else in the world.
1873年后 由于投资问题 斯科特与卡内基失和 至死未和解
安迪 Andy.
好了 把这个和这个拿去给部主管 Now, take this and this to the division superintendent.
你觉得你能做到吗 Think you can you do it?
当然 先生 Yes, sir.
在卡内基看来 As far as Carnegie is concerned,
汤姆·斯科特是被一个人逼死的 one man drove Tom Scott to his grave.
现在 安德鲁·卡内基想要复仇 And now Andrew Carnegie wants revenge.
南北战争后美国的蓬勃发展 America's growth following the civil war,
堪称波澜壮阔 is nothing short of epic.
铁路史无前例地将东西部连接起来 Train tracks link east to west as never before.
煤油点亮了全国各个角落 Oil lights homes from coast to coast.
钢以前人无法想象的方式 重塑了这个国家 And steel is remaking the landscape in a way never though possible.
但就当这股发展的势头看似不可阻挡时 But just when the growth looks unstoppable...
铁路行业 美国经济的脊梁 ...the railroad industry--the backbone of the American economy--
却崩溃了 collapses.
国家陷入了史上最严重的大萧条 And the nation is thrown into the worst depression it's ever seen.
安德鲁·卡内基眼看要失去一切 Andrew Carnegie is on the brink of losing everything.
没有铁路 他的钢也没有销路 Without the railroads, he's lost his market for steel.
他为此责怪他的对手 约翰·D·洛克菲勒 And he blames his bitter rival, John D. Rockefeller.
急求新的市场 Desperate for a new market,
卡内基发现了一个他可以利用的新趋势 Carnegie notices a trend he can capitalize on.
成千上万的失业美国人 Unemployed Americans, by the thousands
涌入了纽约 芝加哥等城市 are flooding cities like New York and Chicago,
寻求工作 in search of work.
为适应人口的增长 And to accommodate the population surge,
大楼建设在如火如荼地进行 buildings are being constructed as fast as possible.
卡内基天才地发现未来 Carnegie brilliantly begins to see that the future
戴维·纳索 卡内基传记作者
不在于铁轨 而是建筑钢材 is not in rails but in structural steel,
在于大梁 在于横梁 in girders, in beams,
用来建造摩天大楼 to build skyscrapers.
他再一次走在了前面 And again, he's ahead of the curve.
世界首栋摩天大楼在芝加哥建成 The world's first skyscraper is built in Chicago.
薄砖墙挂在用卡内基钢材 Its thin brick walls hang on a thick frame
建造的厚框架上 manufactured from Carnegie's steel.
接下来几年里 单是在芝加哥 In the next few years, over 100,000
就有10万栋新大楼建起 new buildings are erected in Chicago alone.
直到钢材成为一种重要产品 Until steel began to become a major product,
艾伦·格林斯潘 前美联储主席
今天我们所见到的美国 才开始成为可能 much of what we see about America could not have happened.
美国是靠钢材竖立起来的 America grew up vertically on steel.
现代美国用卡内基的钢材建设起来了 Modern America is being built using Carnegie's Steel.
摩天大楼的拔地而起让安德鲁·卡内基 The skyscraper boom makes Andrew Carnegie
成为了美国巨富之一 one of the wealthiest men in America.
但对于卡内基 这还不够 But for Carnegie, it's not enough.
1885年10月17日
美国首富 洛克菲勒
1885年10月17日
美国首富 洛克菲勒
约翰·洛克菲勒的个人财产 John Rockefeller's personal fortune
是卡内基的七倍 is seven times larger than Carnegie's.
这是他靠经营算计和心狠手辣积累的财富 A feat he's achieved through a calculated ruthlessness.
卡内基认为 要为导师的死复仇 Carnegie believes that to avenge his mentor's death,
他就得超越约翰·洛克菲勒 he must surpass John Rockefeller
成为美国首富 as the most powerful man in America.
要做到这点 他就得找一个 And to do that, he must find help from someone
比他的对手更无情的人帮忙 even more cutthroat than his rival.
他正好知道这么个人 And he knows the perfect man for the job.
亨利·弗里克30岁时就白手起家成了百万富翁 Henry Frick is a self-made millionaire by thirty.
他是中西部最大的煤炭供应商之一 He's one of the Midwest's largest coal suppliers.
弗里克是个冷酷的商人 A ruthless businessman,
为了得到他想要的 Frick has reputation for getting what he wants...
会不择手段 ...by any means necessary.
卡特 Carter!
这里现在归我了 This belongs to me now.
卡特 我知道你在里面 Carter! I know you're in there!
雇佣亨利·弗里克能弥补卡内基所缺乏的狠心 Hiring Henry Frick will give Carnegie the merciless edge he lacks.
跟我来 先生 Follow me, sir.
亨利 Henry.
安德鲁 Andrew.
很高兴见到你 谢谢你前来 Good to see you, thank you for coming.
荣幸 It's my pleasure.
请坐 Please, sit.
谢谢 Thank you.
威士忌 不加冰 Whiskey, neat.
亨利 我们上次见面后 你结婚了吧 Now, Henry, I believe you've married since I saw you last.
婚姻会改变一个人 安德鲁 Marriage changes a man, Andrew.
怎么说 How's that?
这么说吧 我脾气不那么暴了 Well, let's say I've calmed down a bit.
如人所说 婚姻是神圣的殿堂 Well, it's a noble institution, as they say.
神不神圣不知道 I don't know about noble,
-但的确是被关进了殿堂 -可不是嘛 - but it's an institution. - An institution nonetheless, right?
卡内基和弗里克的合作伙伴关系 The partnership between carnegie and Frick
与如今一对好生意伙伴的合作方式类似 was analogous to the way a good business partnership works today.
马克·库班 达拉斯小牛队老板
你要找一个尽可能 You want somebody as completely opposite
与你不同 完全相反的人 and different from you as you possibly can get.
弗里克的第一项任务 Frick's first assignment
是整顿卡内基钢铁 is to get Carnegie Steel into shape.
弗里克的老板相信 His boss believes that
他会靠他那种强势态度缩减成本 消除浪费 Frick will use his toughness to cut costs and eliminate waste...
从而增加利润 ...leading to bigger profits.
很多人认为给弗里克这么大的权力有很大的风险 Many see giving Frick so much power as a huge risk.
但卡内基认为这个险值得冒 But Carnegie decides it's a risk worth taking.
欢迎加入 亨利 Welcome aboard, Henry.
谢谢你 安德鲁 Thank you, Andrew.
最终 雇佣弗里克 In the end, hiring Frick
可能是卡内基最大的错误 may be the worst decision of Carnegie's career.
美国前所未有的发展 America's unprecedented growth
是由一群杰出的大亨所引领 is being led by a group of extraordinary men.

而现在 安德鲁·卡内基大批量生产的钢铁 And now Andrew Carnegie is using the mass produced steel
竖立起了一栋栋摩天大楼 to erect buildings that touch the sky.
国家达到了前所未有的强盛 Making the country stronger than it's ever been before.
我们的利润率无懈可击 Our profit margin is unassailable.
我们的生产力不低于 Our productivity is absolutely as good as

卡内基的钢铁帝国在以惊人速度扩张 Carnegie's steel empire is expanding at a staggering rate.
仅两年 盈利就翻了倍 In just two years, profits have doubled.
这边走 先生 Right this way, Sir,
我带你看剩下的 and I'll show you the rest.
靠增加产量 By ramping up production,
卡内基和弗里克利用这份收入 Carnegie and Frick are able to use the proceeds
买下了整个俄亥俄州和宾夕法尼亚州的竞争对手 to buy competitors throughout Ohio and Pennsylvania.
从卡内基可以看出 Carnegie demonstrated that
如果你是行业先驱 if you're the first at whatever you do,
HW·布兰兹 历史学家
就会比后来人有巨大的优势 you have a huge advantage over the people who come along later
因为你可以先发制人 because you've got the jump on them
而这就让你得以挖出一个市场来 and very often that jump allows you to carve a niche
并在其中最大化盈利 and to maximize your profits within that niche.
卡内基的个人财产在飞速攀升 Carnegie's personal fortune is skyrocketing.
他的净值达到了超过相当于今天35亿美元 His net worth is now upwards of $3.5 billion in today's money.
雇佣亨利·弗里克 看似是天才之举 His decision to hire Henry Frick looks like a stroke of genius.
弗里克靠恐吓和施威 Through intimidation and fear
与供货商重订了更有利的合同 Frick re-negotiates favorable contracts with suppliers.
同时消除了不必要的花费 And eliminated unnecessary expenses...
并提高了产量 ...while upping production.
九 八 七 六 五 四 Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four...
19世纪最后的十年即将到来 Approaching the final decade of the century,
卡内基钢铁赚得钵满盆满 Carnegie Steel is more profitable than ever.
卡内基提拔弗里克做公司董事会主席 Carnegie rewards Frick by making him
以此奖励他 chairman of his company.
-新年快乐 -新年快乐 - Happy New Year! - Happy New Year!
他成了钢铁行业第二号人物 The second most powerful man in steel.
但对于弗里克来说 这还不够 But for Frick, it's not enough.
他想要他老板的位置 He wants his boss's seat at the table.
弗里克的父亲是个失败者 Frick's father had been a failure.
现在 他想让所有人知道 And now he wants to make sure that everyone knows
他跟他父亲不一样 he's not his father.
弗里克在匹兹堡以东的山上买了地 Frick, purchases land in the hills east of Pittsburgh.
在那里建了一个会所 On it, he builds a members only club
仅对国内一些最有钱的富豪开放 for some of the wealthiest men in the country.
南福克渔猎俱乐部 The South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club
坐落在一座大水库上 sits on a huge artificial lake,
会所成员可以在里面划船 钓鱼 where club members can boat and fish.
就连卡内基也加入了会所 Even Carnegie joins the club.
在我看来并不是问题 It doesn't seem like a problem to me,
我们知道朋友是谁 we know who our friends are,
也知道该如何取悦他们 and we know how to please them.
是啊 而且总可以靠收买嘛 Yes, and you can always buy a man.
但是 如果可以不用如此 However, If it's possible not to,
那样会更好... I would think that's a better--
稍等我一下 Excuse me just for one moment.
为了建他们的游乐场所 To create their playground,
会所控制了南福克大坝 the club takes control of the South Fork dam,
水库储水两千万吨 holding 20 million tons of water.
在同类大坝中是世界第一大 The largest dam of its kind in the world.
下游22.5公里处是约翰斯顿 Just 14 miles downriver lies Johnstown...
居民多为钢铁工人和他们的家人 ...A working class community of steel workers and their families,
他们一直生活在隐患之中 who live under the constant threat
那就是下次暴雨就可能冲垮大坝 that the next rainstorm will wash away the dam.
市政官员恳求弗里克加固大坝 City officials beg Frick to strengthen the dam.
但他完全无视了他们的恳求 But he ignores their pleas completely.
我听说出了事故 I heard there was an accident.
是的 Well, you're right.
的确出了事故 There has been an accident.
我的马车过不去这段路 I can't get my carriage across this road.
您的马车比路宽 先生 Your carriage is too wide for the road, sir.
这就是你我看法不一的地方了 Now that is where you and I are going to differ.
我觉得我的马车挺好的 My carriage is just fine.
是路有问题 It's the road that's the problem.
要扩路就得降低大坝高度了 先生 To widen the road we'd have to lower the dam, sir.
这不就得了 Well, there now.
这办法不难想到吧 That wasn't too hard to sort out, was it?
弗里克要求降低大坝 而因此削弱了它 By lowering the dam, Frick weakens it.
亨利给我看了账簿 Henry shows me the ledgers,
数字跟我预期的可不一样 and that was not the number I was expecting.
我一看比我想的高不少啊 it was a little bit higher than I was expecting.
唯一剩下的问题 And the only question remaining
就是明年我们能挣多少钱 is how much money we'll make next year.
我没酒了 亨利 I'm a bit dry over here, Henry.
弗里克得意于他的会所 Frick is content with his club,
他的形象 his image,
他的财富 and his wealth.

有些甚至远漂到辛辛那提 Some as far away as Cincinnati,
那里据约翰斯顿有563公里 350 miles from Johnstown.
来自全国各地的志愿者前来帮助重建 Volunteers come from across the country to assist in the recovery.
水灾是新成立的美国红十字会的 The Flood is the first major peacetime relief effort

围绕水灾的愤怒情绪愈发强烈 As outrage over the flood grows,
民众在寻求责任人 the public looks for someone to blame.

他肯定会回应 他也的确回应了 he would just respond, and he did,
我现在还喜欢揶揄他 因为这很好玩 and I still like to tweak him just because it's fun...

但如果他想与洛克菲勒 But if he wants to challenge Rockefeller

卡内基得获得更多利润 ...Carnegie must become even more profitable.
但他的野心将让他付出代价 But he'll pay a price for his ambition.
而这将威胁他努力营造的一切 That will threaten to destroy everything he's worked so hard to build.

这一切发展由两个男人之间的争斗推动 Driving this growth is a rivalry between two men.
安德鲁·卡内基和约翰·D·洛克菲勒 Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller.
一个是毫无争议的石油大王 One the undisputed King of Oil,
另一个是无可匹及的钢铁大王 the other, the Unchallenged Man of Steel.
两个人都决心不被对方超越 And each is determined not to be outdone.
高档次的竞争对我有利 I benefit from high-class competition.

守住了自己的阵地 and we've managed to hold our own.
宾夕法尼亚州 匹兹堡
想要赶超洛克菲勒 成为美国首富 To overtake Rockefeller as the richest man in the country,
卡内基不能只做个挣钱的钢铁制造商 Carnegie can't just be a profitable steel maker.
他得做最挣钱的 He's got to be the most profitable.
所以 他需要优势 And for that, he needs an edge.
他看好了匹兹堡城外一家勉强为继的钢厂 He sets his sights on a struggling steel mill outside Pittsburgh.
打算把这里改造成他的钢铁帝国最大的钢厂 With plans to make it the largest in his steel making empire.
卡内基投资了数百万对钢厂进行重组 Carnegie invests millions retooling the plant
使其产出的结构钢超过其他所有等规模的钢厂 to turn out more structural steel than any other mill of its size.
霍姆斯戴德钢厂是一个真正的当代奇迹 The Homestead Steel Works is a true modern marvel.
但它的经营 But it can't operate
需要人力 without man power.
钢厂的一项重要支出就是劳工 One of the huge costs in a steel mill is labor.
戴维·纳索 卡内基传记作者
卡内基知道想要保持盈利 Carnegie knew that to stay profitable.
就必须降低成本 He had to keep costs low.
而降低成本的唯一办法 And the only way to keep costs low
就是减薪 增加工时 was to reduce wages and increase working hours.
为了保持利润增长 To keep profits growing,
卡内基必须继续缩减成本 Carnegie needs to continue cutting costs.
包括薪酬 Including wages.
但他也决心要修复形象 But he's also determined to repair his image.
而如果他被卷入劳资纠纷 就适得其反了 Something he can't do in the midst of a labor dispute.
于是他让他的主席替他下黑手 So he turns to his chairman to do the dirty work.
亨利·弗里克从不在意 Henry Frick has never been concerned
人们如何看待他的手段 with what people think of his methods.
他只在乎一样 He's about one thing...
赢 ...winning.
卡内基并不喜欢做坏人 Carnegie didn't enjoy being the bad guy,
做恶棍 being the villain.
而弗里克则不怎么介意 Frick didn't seem to mind.
我觉得那些伟大的领袖 I think the great leaders
所找的合伙人是那些能利用自己的弱点 find partners who basically can exploit their weaknesses,
唐尼·多伊奇 广告大亨
又不张扬自己的优势的人 but not kind of dance on their strengths.
他们雇佣的不是不如自己的翻版 Instead of hiring weaker versions of themselves,
而是精通自己不懂的方面的专家 they hire people that are tremendous experts at what they're not.
亨利给我看了账簿 Henry shows me the ledgers,
数字跟我预期的可不一样 and that was not the number I was expecting.
现在唯一的问题 Now, the only question remains
就是我们明年能挣多少 is how much we'll make next year.
说得对 Agreed.
弗里克稳坐卡内基钢铁的主席之位 With Frick firmly installed as chairman of Carnegie Steel...
而老板则跑去了苏格兰 ...the boss heads to Scotland
让他有施展拳脚的空间 to give him room to operate.
那个时代的实业家 The industrialists of that period of time
都只顾自己 are people who are out for themselves
只求尽快挣一大笔钱 to make large fortunes as quickly as possible,
吉姆·克莱默 前对冲基金经理
哪怕要为此做些难以想象之事 even if it means pressing the envelope of what they have to do.
弗里克开始拼命压榨 Frick begins squeezing all that he can get
霍姆斯戴德的工人 out of the workers at Homestead.
弗里克认定 想要让钢厂高效运转 Frick decided that the only way to keep the plant running efficiently
就必须设12小时的工时 每周六天 was with a 12 hour day, six days a week.
而那将造成难以承受的工作环境 What that meant was intolerable working conditions.
没人能一天干12小时 No one could work 12 hours a day.
如果你是在办公室上班 If you're working in an office,
也会在桌上打瞌睡 you'd fall asleep at your desk.
可如果你在钢厂里打瞌睡 If you fall asleep in a steel mill,
你会没命的 you end up dead.
卡内基建立他的帝国的时候 You know back when Carnegie was building his empire,
马克·库班 达拉斯小牛队老板
不用说 那时没有劳工法 怎么样都行 obviously there were no labor laws, it was a free for all.
现在回想起来 工人们遭到的剥削 And looking back it seems horrific in a lot of different ways
在很多方面非常可怕 that workers were taken advantage of.
但当时的时局就是如此 But that was the game that was played back then.
工作环境很危险 The conditions are dangerous.
一小群人 走到一起 And a small group of men bands together
提出了他们的顾虑 to raise their concerns.
很多钢厂工人觉得 Many of the workers at the steel mill felt
工作环境必须有所改变 that change in working conditions was a necessity.
他们非常疲惫 而且他们想要 They were exhausted and they wanted wages
足够维持生计的薪酬 that were livable.
工会在美国还是新鲜事物 Unions are relatively new in America.
弗里克不会允许他们在他眼皮底下发展壮大 And Frick isn't about to let them take root on his watch.
但采取行动前 他需要老板首肯 But before acting, he seeks his boss' counsel.
"亲爱的安德鲁 这个夏天恐怕难免一战 "Dear Andrew, it may become necessary to fight it out this summer.
一旦开战 必然要打到底" Once got into it will be fought to the finish."
安德鲁·卡内基很了解弗里克的粗暴 Andrew Carnegie is well aware of Frick's aggressiveness.
所以他才躲到近五千公里之外 It's why he's put three thousand miles between them.
苏格兰 丹弗姆林
但卡内基不想把话都挑明 But Carnegie would rather leave some things unsaid.
"弗里克先生 你肯定能处理好霍姆斯戴德的事 "Mr. Frick, no doubt you will get Homestead right.
凭你温和的毅力 You can get anything right,
能处理好任何事" with your mild persistence."
这个度很不好把握 一方面要保护工人 There's a fine line, how do we protect the worker,
一方面又要继续推进资本主义 yet, at the same time, continue to grease the wheels for capitalism?
有时这两者是不一致的 Sometimes those two are at cross-purposes.
宾夕法尼亚州 霍姆斯戴德
弗里克将卡内基的话 Frick takes Carnegie's words
视为可以开战的明示 as a clear indication that it's time to go to war.
他加快了生产 He ramps up production,
对工人的压榨更狠了 pushing his men harder than ever.
一旦发生罢工 In case of a strike,
他也会有炼好的钢的存货 he'll have a stockpile of finished steel.
工人们一半时间 The men are spending half their lives
都要待在可怕危险的环境中 in the dreadful and dangerous conditions.
他们的忍耐就要到极限了 And they're about to reach their breaking point.
宾夕法尼亚州 霍姆斯戴德
愿慈爱的主怜悯你 帮助你 May the Lord in his love and mercy help you.

死亡可以让不堪重负的工人们联合起来 The death has the potential to unite the overwhelmed workforce.
弗里克明白将发生什么 Frick knows what's coming.
"亲爱的安德鲁 依我看 "Dear Andrew, I am not prepared to believe
不经过一番激烈斗争 我们是赢不了的 that we will win without a severe struggle.
很遗憾 看来我们没有 I regret to say it does not seem that there is

我们赞成你所做的一切 We all approve of anything you do.
我们会一直与你站在一起" We are with you to the end."
有了老板撑腰 Knowing his boss has his back,
弗里克出了第一拳 Frick throws the first punch.
他告诉工人 卡内基钢铁不会妥协 He tells workers that Carnegie Steel won't negotiate.
工作环境不会改善 And conditions won't be improving.
他不能那么做 He can't do that.
弗里克不明白 钢铁工人认为 Frick didn't understand the steelworkers believed
戴维·纳索 卡内基传记作者
钢厂是他们的 that the mill belonged to them.
是他们锻造了钢铁 They were the ones who made the steel.
那是他们的厂 他们不会允许 It was their plant and they weren't gonna to let
卑鄙的弗里克夺走他们的厂 this nasty little Frick take it from them.
在弗里克先生的管理下 Under the management of Mr. Frick,
卡内基公司斩除了 the Carnegie Company has wiped out organization
埃德加·汤普森厂的组织 in the Edgar Thompson works.
还有焦炭区的组织 Has wiped out organization in the coke region
现在又要对霍姆斯戴德的组织动手了 and are about to wipe out organization in Homestead.
休想 No!
该给弗里克先生点颜色瞧瞧了 The time has come to send Mr. Frick a message.
是啊 That's right.
我们不接受新薪酬 We do not accept the new pay scale.
是啊 No.
-我们不接受差劲的工作环境 -说得对 - We do not accept the poor working conditions. - No.
我们不接受超长的工时 We do not accept the long hours.
是啊 No.
我们为什么能拒绝 And why can we do this?
-因为我们是联合的工会 -对 - Because we are a union. - Yeah!
没人能击溃我们 And nobody, nobody will break us!
说得对 Yeah!
所有同意罢工的 All those in favor of striking,
举手 raise your hands.
好 Yeah!
弗里克先生 Mr. Frick?
我再给你一次机会叫停罢工 I'm giving you one more chance to call off this strike.
我会确保所有敢参加罢工的人 再别想回来 I'll make sure any man who walks out, never returns.
走着瞧 We'll see.
两千名钢铁工人在厂外搭起了障碍物 2,000 steel workers barricade the front of the plant.

多年来 平克顿侦探一直相当于私人警察 For years, the Pinkerton Detectives have been a private police force.
他们以追查火车劫匪闻名 Best known for tracking down train robbers.
他们甚至曾阻止过刺杀亚布拉罕·林肯的阴谋 They even stopped a plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln.
并被雇为总统的私人保镖 And were hired as the President's personal bodyguards.
但现在 他们成为了佣兵 But now they've become an army for hire.
人手和火力甚至超过美国陆军 With more men and guns than the U.S. Military.
如果你有钱 他们就会为你而战 If you have the money, they'll fight for you.
而弗里克有这个钱 And Frick has the money.
我们从河上进去 We'll enter by the river,
如果有必要 就武力攻下 take them by force if necessary.
记住你们的训练 听从命令 Remember your training, follow orders.
如果他们开枪 我们就狠狠回击 If they start shooting we'll hit them back hard.
绝不能胆怯 There is no place for cowardice.
平克顿是佣兵 The Pinkertons were mercenaries.
他们是外地人 They were from out of town.
他们对匹兹堡毫无感情 They had no ties to Pittsburgh,
对工人毫无感情 no ties to these workers.
他们只是受雇来做打手的 They were paid a wage to wield their clubs.
弗里克决定雇佣平克顿的一刻 The moment Frick made the decision to bring in Pinkertons,
结局就已确定 the die was cast
罢工只可能是悲剧收场了 and the only way this strike was going to end was in tragedy.
开火 Fire!
宾夕法尼亚州 霍姆斯戴德
两千工人竖立障碍物 守在霍姆斯戴德厂里 2,000 men barricade themselves inside the Homestead plant.
导致钢生产完全停滞 Causing steel production to grind to a hault.
卡内基钢铁的主席 亨利·弗里克 Carnegie Steel's chairman, Henry Frick,
完全无意谈判 is in no mood to negotiate.
迫于平息反叛的压力 Under pressure to quell the revolt,
弗里克叫来了平克顿 Frick brings in the Pintertons.
他们是一群雇佣兵 比美国陆军火力还强 A mercenary army capable of outgunning the U.S. Military.
他们的出现 很可能成为 And their presence threatens to be the spark
点燃炸药桶的火星 that light the powder keg.
弗里克心想 Frick thought to himself
等工人看到了平克顿 when the workers see the Pinkertons,
等他们看到我不打算退缩 when they see that I'm not going to back down
戴维·纳索 卡内基传记作者
他们就会收手 they will back down.
他以为如果他展现实力 He thought a show of strength,
展现决心 就可以摆平一切 a show of resolve, was all that was needed.
事件会到此结束 And that would be the end.
但他完全算错了 He badly miscalculated.
守住 Hold your ground.
镇静 镇静 Stay calm. Stay calm.
我们是来占领这片地产的 We're here to take possession of this property.
休想 No!
我建议你转身回家去 I suggest you turn around and go home.
你休想进来 You're not getting in.
如果你们不让开 If you do not stand aside,
我们就会碾平你们每一个人 we will mow every one of you down.
那你手上将沾上无辜者的血 The blood of innocent men will be on your hands.
拆掉障碍物 Tear down this barricade.
休想 No!
枪战过程有一定争议 但可以肯定 双方均有开火 双方均有伤亡 且平克顿整体上 是受压制的一方

开枪 开火 Shoot them. Shoot!
守住 Hold the line.
守住 Keep your ground.
开火 开火 Fire! Fire!
你没事吧 你没事吧 You all right? You all right?
拿着 Take it.

但安德鲁·卡内基的麻烦还远未结束 But Andrew Carnegie's problems are far from over.
流血冲突的下午
这场暴力冲突引起了民愤 The public is outraged over the violence,

很多人要求为死者伸张正义 Many are demanding justice for the dead.
弗里克先生 Mr. Frick.
美国正在全速 迅猛 广泛地发展 The vast and rapid growth of America is in full swing.
铁路将全部44个州连接了起来 Railroads now connect all 44 states.

钢铁建设了我们的城市 And steel is building our cities.
但如此迅速的发展 必然是有代价的 But growth at this pace doesn't come without a cost.
安德鲁·卡内基的钢铁产量是世界第一 Andrew Carnegie is making more steel than anyone else in the world.
要达到这样的产量 To meet this level of production,

每周工作六天 six days a week.
这恶劣的环境导致他们自发封厂 The conditions spur them to barricade the plant,
而卡内基的主席 亨利·弗里克 leading Carnegie's Chairman, Henry Frick,
因此叫来了雇佣兵 to call in mercenaries.
开火 Fire!
开枪 开火 Shoot them. Shoot!
一场血腥的枪战导致九名工人死亡 A bloody battle leaves nine workers dead.
弗里克重新控制了霍姆斯戴德 Frick regains control of Homestead.
虽然屠杀结束了 But while the carnage is over...
但民愤才刚刚掀起 ...the public outcry is just beginning.
流血冲突的下午
那是一场屠杀 It was a massacre.
不仅是从死伤数目方面来讲 Not just in terms of the number of injured and dead.
戴维·纳索 卡内基传记作者
光是考虑到平民为保护自己的工厂 But a massacre that any civilians should be killed,
而被杀 就足以称之为屠杀 standing and defending their plant.
战祸降临
一夜之间 霍姆斯戴德成了 Over night, Homestead becomes a searing symbol
霍姆斯戴德之战 令人震惊的结果
工业美国生死的热烈象征 of life and death in Industrial America.

他以把自己的公司描绘成一家 He prided himself on portraying his company
莫里·克莱因 商业史学家
文明 进步的公司为傲 as an enlightened, progressive company,
在很多方面也确实如此 which in many ways it was.
霍姆斯戴德事件令公司蒙羞 What Homestead did was cast a stain on that

而且这种影响很难摆脱 that he had a very hard time living down.
卡内基延长了在苏格兰待的时间 Carnegie extends his stay in Scotland...
希望躲得远 争议就会慢慢淡去 ...hoping the distance will allow the controversy to blow over.

他们以暴力手段闻名 Known for their violent tactics,
他们开始了攻击 they are beginning to strike out.
攻击一切他们看到的不公 Whenever and wherever they see injustice.
