杰克·伦敦《铁蹄》：
With a large business there is always less waste and greater efficiency.
大型企业是比较容易做到开源节流，高效运作的。
原文：
You started a branch store here in Berkeley about six months ago?’
‘Yes,’ Mr. Owen answered.
‘And since then I’ve noticed that three little corner groceries have gone out of business. Was your branch store the cause of it?’
Mr. Owen affirmed with a complacent smile. ‘They had no chance against us.
‘Why not?’
‘We had greater capital. With a large business there is always less waste and greater efficiency.’
大约六个月前你在伯克利开了一家分店是吗？”
“对。”欧文先生回答。
“之后我留意到有三家街角小食杂店关门了，这种后果是你的分店造成的吧？”
欧文先生洋洋得意地点头承认：“他们根本竞争不过我们。”
“为什么呢？”
“我们拥有更雄厚的资金。大型企业是比较容易做到开源节流，高效运作的。”
