有人曾经根据美元价值等时代因素计算，认为美国工业巨子卡内基创造的财富至今尚没有人能企及。他是怎么起家的呢？他小小跟着父母从苏格兰移民美国，一上岸就当童工，时年13岁。他第一个工作在纺织厂里，一天12个小时，一周6天，周薪1。2美元。他成为世界首富后回忆说：“我挣的钱早已以百万计了。但是，没有任何钱能比第一周那1。2美元给我更大的幸福！”在干了12个小时后，他还拖着疲惫之躯去上夜校。15岁时，终于有了另一个机会：给匹兹堡的一家电报公司当报童，也就是挨家挨户地送电报。他将此视为天赐良机，义无反顾地接受了。<br>报童是典型的跑腿族，看起来无足轻重。但卡内基不这么看。当然，报童的工作一周2。5美元，收入翻番，但这不是他要图的东西。用现在的话来说，他看重这是个白领工作，属于信息高科技的行业。在1850年，电报就相当于今日的互联网。那时用电报的多是公司企业。跑跑腿看似很下层，但聪明的卡内基发现，匹兹堡的商业信息就捏在他手上。哪家总是从哪里收发电报，哪家生意兴隆，商业网络怎么运行，他一清二楚。也就是从这里，他又跳到铁路公司，最终自己建起钢铁厂。那时苏格兰人在英国人眼里是叫花子。卡内基家也确实穷得叮当响，但是，最终他的工厂生产的钢铁，超过了整个英国的钢铁产量。<br>现实是狰狞的，但是，我们不能等待现实被改造好了以后再开始生活。如今与150多年前的世道早已经大不相同了。但是，跑腿族知道许多阔少们的消费习惯和规律，也并非没有从跑腿发展出某种特殊的快递业务的可能。

Some people used to think that the wealth created by Carnegie, the industrial giant of the United States, has not been matched so far according to the value of the dollar and other factors of the times. How did he start his family? He immigrated to the United States from Scotland with his parents and worked as a child laborer as soon as he landed, when he was 13 years old. He was the first one to work in a textile mill, 12 hours a day, six days a week, with a weekly salary of 1. 2 dollars. When he became the richest man in the world, he recalled: "I have already made millions of money. But there's no money like the first week. Two dollars gives me more happiness! " After working for 12 hours, he dragged his tired body to night school. When I was 15, I finally had another chance: to be a newsboy for a Pittsburgh Telegraph Company, that is, to send telegrams from door to door. He saw it as a great opportunity and accepted it without hesitation.<br>Newsboy is a typical runner, and it doesn't seem to matter. But Carnegie doesn't see it that way. Of course, the newsboy works 2 times a week. Five dollars, double his income, but that's not what he wants. In today's words, he values it as a white-collar job, belonging to the information technology industry. In 1850, the telegraph was the Internet of today. At that time, most of the companies used telegrams. Running errands seem to be very low-level, but the smart Carnegie found that Pittsburgh's business information was in his hands. He knows exactly where to send and receive telegrams, which business is booming and how to run the business network. That is, from here, he jumped to the railway company and eventually built his own steel plant. At that time, the Scots were known to the British as beggars. Carnegie's family was also very poor, but in the end his factory produced more steel than the whole of Britain.<br>The reality is ferocious, but we can't wait for the reality to be transformed before we start to live. Now it is quite different from the way it was more than 150 years ago. However, the runner knows the consumption habits and rules of many rich and young people, and it is not impossible to develop a special express business from runner.<br>
