Ομιλία του κ. Prem Watsa Προέδρου & Διευθύνοντος Συμβούλου Fairtax Financial Holdings, στην απογευματινή εκδήλωση στην Ετήσια Γενική Συνέλευση του ΣΕΒ, 31/5/2017

Good evening, thank you very much for that kind introduction and Mr. President of the Hellenic Republic, Mr. Prime Minister, Ministers and Members of Parliament, Mr. Chairman of SEV and ladies and gentlemen, good evening.

Thank you very much for inviting me to speak to you. It is a great honor to stand in front of this beautiful auditorium. Our company Fairfax has been in business for 31 years and we have developed our company over that long and I have been the Chairman of that company and over some time they call you “boss” because I have been there for so long. And I say, look here. I find there are many bosses. There’s all sorts of leaders, bosses. So it reminds me of the story of this gentleman who went to buy a parrot and he went to a pet store to buy a parrot and the pet shop owner said there’s three parrots and he said “How much does that cost?” He said, “That would cost 500 euro.” “500 euro for a parrot? Why is it so expensive?” So he said “That parrot knows how to play the computer, so that’s why it costs 500 dollars.” He said, “How about the second parrot?” “The second parrot costs 1,000 dollars.” “One thousand dollars? Why would you pay 1,000 dollars for a parrot?” He said, “That one not only can play the computer; it can design a computer system, so it is very-very good.” So then he says, “I don’t want to ask you, but what about that third parrot?” And he says, “The third parrot is 2,000 dollars.” And so he is afraid to ask, he says, “What does that third parrot do?” So the owner says, “You know, to be quite honest, I don’t know what he does, but the other two call him boss.”
