How to Become Rich

​SCRIPT

A young man is interviewing with a rich old man.

Y:  Now, could you please tell us your experience after the war?
O:   Oh yes, it was back in the 1940s.

         I lost everything in the war. I had only 100 yen.
     I bought 10 potatoes with it, polished them

         and at the end of the day I sold them for 200 yen.

         The next day I bought 20 potatoes with it, polished them,

         and at the end of the day I sold them for 400 yen.

         And I continued the system.
Y:      I see. So that’s how you built a big fortune.
O:   Oh, no! No!No! No way!
     After several months, my wife’s father died and left us 100 million yen.
