J·P·摩根認為應該有人為美國資本主義帶來秩序 賦予意義

Morgan wants to end the cutthroat competition insteel and the only way to do that is to bring togetherthe competitors into one new company.

摩根希望消除鋼鐵行業(yè)中的殘酷競爭 而做到這一點的唯一方法就是將競爭對手整合到同一個新公司里面

If Morgan can consolidate steel, he could potentially create the largest corporate empire inthe world.

如果摩根能整合鋼鐵行業(yè) 他就締造了可能是世界上最龐大的商業(yè)帝國

But do to that, J.P. Morgan will need to pull off his biggest and most daring move yet-- acomplete takeover of Andrew Carnegie's empire.

但要做到這點 J·P·摩根需要完成他迄今為止最大膽的舉動 即完全收購卡內(nèi)基的帝國

Morgan's timing is impeccable.

摩根選擇的時機無可挑剔

Carnegie, after years of bruising battles, is questioning his future.

Carnegie knew that as long as he wanted to, he could continue to reign supreme in steel.

He didn't know that he wanted to keep fighting for the rest of his life.

問題是他并不一定愿意在有生之年就一直這么拼殺下去

Morgan knows he can't go after Carnegie directly.

摩根知道他不能直接從卡內(nèi)基入手

He needs another way in.

他需要采取另一種方式
