Lehmann story by a layman

Once Jack, Rose, Titanic and Lehmann were playing a game of Blackjack. Blackjack is a game full of risk like all endeavours in life are. Its a game of cards where a dealer is pitching against your success. However the point goes beyond knowing what Blackjack is.

Titanic was sailing freely, she got a lot of profit in one of the dealings. She bet all her money in the next one. And she sunk in the midst of all the glory she had gained earlier. Jack and Rose were cautious people. They played it safe and were getting regular returns in each dealing. Lehmann was a star, he was calculative and played his moves really smartly, and eventually was sitting above a huge sum of money, much more than the others. Seeing the beautiful(potential business) Titanic in need of money Lehmann lent her a huge sum of money. The foolish gambler that Titanic was she bet all the money one by one and to nobody's surprise lost all of it. Titanic seduced Lehmann with her sultry looks and convinced Lehmann to lend her some more. She said, "this time I will play safe and definitely give you all your money back, with the 'interest' you expect."

Jack and Rose were steady as always, Jack surged far ahead, by this time he had gone ahead of the in-hand balance of Lehmann. Jack shouted, " I'm the king of the world." But, Lehmann told him, " Sorry kid, I'm still the boss, the chick out here(with his hand extended towards Titanic) owes me 200,000 dollars, double of what you have with you ...haa haa haaaa... it'll take a decade for you 2 to catch up with me.. I can hire 5 more grads from the IIM's with a package 1/5th of that(oops, sorry for drifting away from the story)". Titanic lost everything to the dealer(various pockets of the economy where money flows and has no chance of coming back) again. Lehmann still thought he was very rich. But, Titanic had sunk to the bottom of the ocean, she was bankrupt, there was no way that she could repay her loan. And thus eventually, Bankrupt, was Lehmann too. And finally Lehmann had to accept in public that indeed he had become bankrupt....
