請問最後農夫賺了多少錢?

A. 3 B. 2 C. 1

其實小棗還未找到確實既答案, 不過可以同大家分享一下小棗自己既答案. 大部分人都應為答案是 B, 小棗卻應為答案是 C. 如果將以上行為化為數學算式會是:

-8+9-10+11

如果直接計算當然是 2, 亦即是答案 B. 其實不然.

原因可能大部分朋友都只著重賺了多少錢的問題上, 其實有否想過這個買賣行為當中除了賺錢之外還要考慮另一個因素 – 借貸成本. 問題在於農夫怎樣從手中的 $9 買到價值 $10 的雞? 現實生活中, 農夫需要做一點東西才可令手中的 $9 變為可購買價值 $10 的東西, 例如借錢或扺押. 所以農夫雖然賺了 $2, 他需歸還借回來的 $1, 最後他只賺 $1. 答案為 [...]]]> 一個農夫用 $8 買了一隻雞, 以 $9 賣出, 再以 $10 買入另一隻雞, 最後以 $11 賣出.

雖然大部分財務計算都用數式用表達, 但亦證明如果表達不好當中有部分過程會被隱藏. 如果對答案有任何意見都歡迎討論一下.

答案: 慢 3.2GHz CPU 既一倍

You might say that I’m greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in [...]]]> I’m going to be honest of what I’m going to say here. I’m 25 this year. I’m very pretty, have style and good taste.  I wish to marry a guy with $500k  annual salary or above.

You might say that I’m greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York.

My requirement is not high.  Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary?  Are you all married?

I wanted to ask:  what should I do to marry rich persons like you?

Among those I’ve dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit.

If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?),  $250k annual income is not enough.

I’m here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking?  I’ve met a few girls who don’t  have looks and are not interesting,  but they are able  to marry rich guys.

4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend?  (my target now is to get married)

A philosophical reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan:

Dear Ms. Pretty,
I have read your post with great interest.  Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor.

My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope
everyone believes that I’m not wasting time here.

From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain.

Put the details aside, what you’re trying to do is an exchange of “beauty” and “money” :  Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square.

However, there’s a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year,  but you can’t be prettier year after year.

Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It’s not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later.

By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a “trading position”.
If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term – same goes with the marriage that you wanted.   It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or “leased”.

Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool;  we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income.This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps.  If you are interested in “leasing” services, do contact me.
