An american banker was walking on a beautiful beach in a small mexican village. he saw a fisherman in his boat with a few fish on it. 'great fish! ' he said. 'how long did it take you to catch them? ' 'not very long', answered the fisherman. 'why didn't you stay at sea longer to catch some more? ' asked the banker. 'there are just enough fish here to feed my family', answered the mexican. then the american asked, 'but what do you do the rest of the time? ' 'i sleep late, i fish a little, i play with my kids, i have siestas. in the evening, i go to see my friends in the village. we drink wine and play the guitar. i'm busier than you think. life here isn't as ' the american interrupted him. 'i have an mba from harvard university and i can help you. you're not fishing as much as you can. if you start fishing for longer periods of time, you'll get enough money from selling the fish to buy a bigger boat. then with the money you'll get from catching and selling more fish, you could buy a second boat and then a third one and so on. than instead of selling your fish to shops, you could sell them directly to a fish factory, or even open your own factory. than you'll be able to leave your little village for mexico city and finally move to new york, where you could direct the company. 'how long will that take? ' asked the mexican. 'about 15 to 20 years' answered the banker. 'and then? ' then it gets more interesting, ' said the american, smiling and talking more quickly. 'when the moment comes, you can put your company on the stock market and you will make millions.' 'millions? but then what? ' 'then you can retire, live in a small village by the sea, go to the beach, sleep late, play with your kids, '
Американский банкир прогуливался по прекрасному пляжу в маленькой мексиканской деревушке. Он увидел рыбака в лодке и немного рыбы в ней. "Отличная рыба!",сказал он. "Сколько ты её ловил?"
"Не так долго",ответил рыбак.
"Почему бы тебе не остаться в море подольше,чтобы наловить побольше?",спросил банкир.
"Здесь уже достаточно рыбы,чтобы накормить мою семью",ответил мексиканец.
Потом американец спросил:"А что ты делаешь в оставшееся время?"
"Я сплю допоздна,немного рыбачу,играю с детьми,отдыхаю. По вечерам иду в гости к своим друзьям в деревню. Мы пьём вино и играем на гитаре. У меня больше дел,чем вы думаете. Жизнь здесь не..."
Американец перебил его. "Я учился в Гарварде управлять бизнесом и могу тебе. Ты не ловишь столько,сколько можешь. Ты должен дольше рыбачить,больше получить за рыбу и купить лодку побольше. На деньги,полученные от ловли и продажи рыбы,тебе нужно купить вторую,третью и так далее лодку. Затем,вместо того,чтобы продавать рыбу магазинам,продавай её напрямую рыбозаводу или даже открой свой завод. Ты сможешь сменить свою деревушку на Мехико,а затем и на Нью-Йорк,где возглавишь компанию."
"И сколько времени это займёт?",спросил мексиканец.
"Около 15-20 лет",ответил банкир.
"А потом?"
"Потом интереснее",сказал американец,улыбаясь и ускоряя своё повествование."Когда настанет нужный момент,ты сможешь выставить свою компанию на фондовый рынок и тем самым заработаешь миллионы."
"Миллионы? А что потом?"
"Потом ты сможешь уединиться,жить в маленькой деревушке,ходить на пляж,спать допоздна,играть с детьми.."
