很多年以前,在奥斯维辛集中营里,一个犹太人对他的儿子说,现在我们惟一的财富就是智慧,当别人说一加一等于二的时候,你应该想到大于三。纳粹在奥斯维辛毒死了几十万人,父子俩却活了下来。1946年;他们来到美国,在休斯敦做铜器生意。一天,父亲问儿子一磅铜的价格是多少?儿子答35美分。父亲说:“对,整个得克萨斯州都知道每磅铜的价格是35美分,但作为犹太人的儿子,应该说成是3.5美元,你试着把一磅铜做成门把看看。”20年后,父亲死了,儿子独自经营铜器店。他做过铜鼓,做过瑞士钟表晒上的簧片,做过奥运会的奖牌,他曾把一磅铜卖到3500美元,这时他已是平考尔公司的董事长。然而,真正使他扬名的,是纽约州的一堆垃圾。 Many years ago, at the Auschwitz concentration camp, a Jew told his son that now our only wealth is wisdom. When others say one plus one equals two, you should think of more than three. The Nazis poisoned hundreds of thousands of people in Auschwitz and the father and son survived. 1946; they came to the United States to do bronze business in Houston. One day, my father asked his son a pound of copper what is the price? Son answered 35 cents. My father said, “Yes, the entire state of Texas knows that the price per pound of copper is 35 cents, but as a Jewish son it should be said to be $ 3.5 and you try to make a pound of copper as a doorknob.” 20 years After his father died, his son operated bronze shop alone. He had been a bronze drum, a reed of Swiss watches, an Olympic medal, and he had sold a pound of copper for $ 3,500 when he was chairman of Pincor Corporation. However, what really made him famous was a pile of rubbish in New York State.
