精明的百万富翁Crafty Millionaire


Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls—Royce to a downtown NY City bank and went in to ask for an immediate loan of $5000.
The loan officer, taken aback, requested collateral. “Well, then, here are the keys to my Rolls—Royce,” the man said.
The loan officer promptly had the car driven into the bank's unˉderground parking for safe keeping, and gave him $5000.
Two weeks later, the man walked through the bank's doors, and asked to settle up his loan and get his car back.“That will be $5000 in principal and$20·30 in Interest,” the loan ofˉficer said. The man wrote out a check and started to walk away.
“Wait sir,” the loan officer said, “while you were gone, I found out you are a millionaire.Why in the world would you need to borrow $5000?”
The man smiled. “Where else would I park my Rolls—Royce in Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $20·30?”
一男子去欧洲出差前把自己的劳斯莱斯轿车开到纽约市中心的一家银行,申请立即贷款5000美元。
信贷员感到为难,要求担保。男士说:“那好吧,这是我的劳斯莱斯车钥匙。”
信贷员立即让人把车开到银行的地下停车场保管起来,给了他5000美元。
两个星期后,这个人又进了银行,要求还贷取车。“本金5000美元,利息20·30美元,”信贷员说。那人开了一张支票就开始往外走。
“等一下,先生,”信贷员说,“你上次走了以后,我了解到你是个百万富翁。你到底为何要借5000美元呢?”
那人笑了笑说:“曼哈顿还有哪儿能让我停车两星期只付20·30美元?”
