Born in Scotland,/kloc-moved to the United States with his family at the age of 0/2. People rated him as an "arrogant, impulsive, enthusiastic, loyal and shrewd idealist". He started as a spindle worker with a weekly salary of only $65,438 +0.2. 16 years old, he became a telegraph operator on the Pennsylvania Railway and stayed there for 12 years. Since then, he has invested all his assets to provide consulting for Kastone Bridge Engineering Company, and he has the foresight to see that the steel bridge industry has unlimited prospects. So he began to devote himself to the steel production industry and became the steel king of the United States. Later, he also bought an oil company, a railway and a large number of steamboats. 190 1 year, he sold his Carnegie steel company for $250 million. At this time, Carnegie Steel Company produced 25% of the total steel sales in the United States.

Carnegie attributed his success to the joint efforts of everyone around him. He once wrote an epitaph for his tombstone, which read: "Here lies a man who knows how to make people around him smarter than himself." People have different views on him both before and after his death. Some people call him a tyrant, others call him a saint. As a businessman, Carnegie's idea of negotiating with competitors is that the other party must completely compromise. As an employer, he tries his best to earn every penny from his work. The salary he gives to workers and employees can be described as follows: those who have big money don't want it, and those who have small money belong to me. 1892 Carnegie was in Scotland when the steel workers went on strike in Homestead, but he hired 300 Pinkerton guards to try to suppress the workers' strike. This labor-capital conflict eventually developed into a bloody armed conflict, leaving an extremely disgraceful page in Carnegie's history.
