Begging on Wall Street (PG)
There are three beggars begging on Wall Street.
The first beggar wrote "Beggar" on his broken cup. He received $10.00
after one day.
The next day, the second beggar wrote "Beggar.com" on his cup. After one
day, he received hundreds of thousands of dollars and an offer to float
an IPO on NASDAQ.
The following day, the third beggar wrote "e-Beg" on his cup. Microsoft,
IBM, and HP sent corporate vice-presidents to talk to him about
strategic alliances and offered him free hardware consultancy. In
addition, it was reported on CNBC that e-Beg uses 95% Oracle technology
and that I2 announced the launch of BegTradeMatrix; a b2b industry
portal offering supply chain integration in the beggar community.
