How business is done

Jack, a smart businessman, talks to his son...

Jack: I want you to marry a girl of my choice
Son : I will choose my own bride.
Jack: But the girl is Bill Gates's daughter.
Son : Well, in that case...

Next Jack approaches Bill Gates
Jack: "I have a husband for your daughter."
Bill Gates : "But my daughter is too young to marry."
Jack: "But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank."
Bill Gates : "Ah, in that case..."

Finally Jack goes to see the president of the World Bank.
Jack: "I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president."
President : "But I already have more vice-presidents than I need."
Jack: "But this young man is Bill Gates's son-in-law."
President : "Ah, in that case....."

This is how business is done!!
