“99th story”
First published: July.11.2019
Mahmoud was a young boy from a poor village.
He started working from the age of 5 and learned masonry from his father. When he grew up to be 18, he decided to go to a big city and start a proper job.
He started working for a factory. When he heard that the factory wanted to build a wall all around its land, he offered the cheapest price to build a perfect wall with a guarantee.
The factory owner was very happy about the cheap offer and made Mahmoud responsible for ordering the materials. Mahmoud stole half the materials and sold them in the black market. After two years the wall was finished and Mahmoud was rich.
With his savings, he bought expensive rugs and stored it in storage and insured them.
After a month, his storage burned down.
When the insurance company sent an appraiser, they confirmed that the remaining ashes were rugs. Mahmoud made a fortune, but he had removed all the expensive rugs before the fire, and the remainings were old useless rugs.
Mahmoud did so many of these tricks and grew so fast that his wealth was uncountable.
He couldn’t stop, and now he was thinking of getting into politics. Now he just had to decide where to start, become a mayor? Governor? Senator? Or maybe even run for the presidency.

Sadly sounds like the sort of chap who politicians tend to appoint as « business advisors »

When they become rich they need to protect the wealth and therefore getting into power is the best way to safeguard it…
