单集文稿 ...

  • He was raised on a farm and milked cows.

  • As a boy.

  • He neither drank nor smoked.

  • He was affable to every employee, from the head of the department to the humblest.

  • He enjoyed his wealth quietly.

  • He rarely lost his temper.

  • Self control was one of his most profound attributes.

  • He was a quiet man, and when he spoke, his words were both few and carefully chosen.

  • He rarely boasted.

  • But once speaking for himself and his fellow capitalists, he said, we have made this country rich.

  • We have developed the country.

  • We have created the earning power by developing the system.

  • When he died, the press said that he was the world's richest man.

  • It also called him the world's most hated man.

  • The man just described sounds like John D.

  • Rockefeller.

  • It is not.

  • It's Jay Gold.

  • Rockefeller and Gold had much in common.

  • The two were nearly the same age.
