1835年,摩根先生成为“伊特纳火灾保险公司”的股东。不久,有一家在伊特纳火灾保险公司投保的客户发生了火灾,如果按照规定完全付清赔偿金,保险公司就会破产。股东们纷纷要求退股。摩根先生则认为自己的信誉比金钱重要。他四处筹款并卖掉了自己的房产,低价收购了所有要求退股的股份。然后他将赔偿金如数返还给了投保的客户。 In 1835, Mr. Morgan became a shareholder of “Etna Fire Insurance Company.” Soon a fire broke out on a customer insured by Itna Fire Insurance Company and the insurance company went bankrupt if the compensation was paid in full. Shareholders have asked to withdraw their shares. Mr. Morgan believes that his credibility is more important than money. He raised money and sold his own property, buying out all the shares that were required to be sold out at a low price. He then repaid the amount of compensation to the insured clients.
