一个商人走进纽约一家银行要求贷款官员贷款给他
A businessman walked into a New York City bank and asked for the loan officer. He said he was going to Europe on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000.
The loan officer said the bank would need some security for such a loan. The business man then handed over the keys to a Rolls Royce that was parked on the street in front of the bank.
Everything checked out and the loan officer accepted the car as collateral for the loan. An employee then drove the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parked it there.
Two weeks later the businessman returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest which came to $15.41. The loan officer said, "We do appreciate your business and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a bit puzzled. While you were away we checked and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5,000?"
The business man replied: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for 2 weeks for 15 bucks?"
一个商人走进纽约一家银行要求贷款官员贷款给他。他说他要去欧洲出差2个星期需要借款5000美元。信贷员说银行需要一些安全这样的贷款。商人然后移交一辆劳斯莱斯汽车就停在银行前面街。一切都检查过了，银行信贷员接受了汽车做为贷款抵押。店员把汽车开到银行的地下车库停在那里。2个星期后回来的商人，偿还了5000美元的利息为15.41美元。信贷员说，“我们欣赏你的生意，这笔交易做的很好，但我们有点困惑。你离开的时候，我们检查并发现你是一个百万富翁。长期困扰我们的问题就是为什么你会打扰借5000美元吗？”商人回答：“在纽约市的其他地方我可以把车停在了2周的15美元吗？”
