A father says to his son:
“I’ve decided to arrange your marriage with a girl of my choice.”
The son protests:
“That’s not happening.”
The father calmly replies:
“She is the daughter of Bill Gates.”
The son pauses… thinks for a moment… then agrees.
The father then goes to Bill Gates.
“I would like my son to marry your daughter.”
Bill Gates smiles:
“And why would I agree to that?”
The father replies:
“My son is the future CEO of the World Bank.”
Bill Gates raises an eyebrow… then agrees.
Next, the father visits the World Bank.
“I would like my son to be appointed CEO.”
The executives immediately refuse:
“That’s impossible.”
The father simply says:
“He is soon to be Bill Gates’ son-in-law.”
A silence falls.
Then they respond:
“In that case… let’s discuss the details.”
🧠 Final line:
That’s how value is created in business. 💼
