The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Chinese man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out.
The Loan officer agrees to accept the car ascollateral for the loan. The bank’s president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Chinese forusing a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari intothe bank’s underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the Chinese returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy tohave had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi-millionaire. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5, 000.
The Chinese replies:"Where else in New York City can I park car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there safely when I return?
