Ah Beng (the father) says to his son. . . ‘I want you to marry a girl of my choice.’
The son says, ‘I will choose my own bride!!!’
Ah Beng says, ‘But the girl is Bill Gates’ daughter.’
Son answers, ‘Well, in that case . . . ok.’
Next Ah Beng approaches Bill Gates and says, ‘I have a husband for your daughter…’
Bill Gates answers, ‘But my daughter is too young to marry!!’
Ah Beng says, ‘But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank’
Bill Gates answers, ‘Ah, in that case . . ok.’
Finally, Ah Beng goes to see the president of the World Bank.
Ah Beng says, ‘I have a young man to recommend as a vice-president.’
The president answers, ‘But I already have more vice-presidents than I need!’
Ah Beng says, ‘But this young man is Bill Gates’ son-in-law.’
The president answers: ‘Ah, in that case . . . ok.’
And that, my friends, is how Chinese do business!
