Big Bucks the Easy Way.pptVIP

Big Bucks the Easy Way A father, who is tired of his college-age sons asking for money, convinces them to inquire about delivering magazines to houses. The father then leaves on a leisurely business trip. But soon his wife begins to make frequent telephone calls to his hotel room. First, she tells him there has been a delivery of 8000 advertising inserts, but later there will be truckloads more. The sons see that they can not by themselves make a dent in the stacks of advertising inserts on their porch and will not be able to meet the Sunday morning deadline. So they decided to hire their younger brothers and sisters and neighborhood children and offer them $5 each in cash. But soon the hired children go on strike and demanded more. To get them to return to work the college-age boys agree to offer them competitive bonuses, even though this will cut into their profits. In mediation, the parties agree on $2 per hour. The job is finally done. But after settling their accounts with the children, the college-age boys find that they have to settle for only @185 each, two-thirds of their minimum wage for 91 hours of hard work. Still they feel satisfied with this business practice. A few weeks later, the two youngest sons of the family also try to sell or rent the family library for money. But this time they get to know that books are even more valuable than money. * * *
