Mr. Maybank's Secret

One day, three bankers, a Mr.Citibank,Mr. HSBC and Mr.Maybank went for a walk.For no apparent reason, they went into a zoo and passed an elephant. Being very competitive, Mr. Citibank had and idea and he said, "Why don't we prove who is the best among us?"
The others, of course, agreed.
So Mr.Citibank went on,"Let's do a test. Whoever makes this elephant laugh, he works for the best Bank."
They all agreed and started.Being a pure logical strategist, Mr.Citibank tried to make the elephant
laugh by telling really lame jokes. (In this story, the elephant understands what he says) However, it remained still. As a more practical guy, the HSBC guy tried to make funny gestures...and
the elephant still stood firm. When it came to Mr.Maybank's turn, he walked up to the elephant and whispered something to it. The elephant guffawed loudly. The other 2 bankers were astonished.
Mr. Citibank was not willing to give up. So he quickly said, "OK. Fine. Let's try something else. Whoever makes this elephant cry works for the best bank!"
So Mr.Citibank told some very dramatic emo stories and Mr.HSBC made sad gestures but the elephant made no sign of crying. Then Mr.Maybank whispered something into its ear and the elephant burst into tears. Once again, the other 2 bankers were dumbstruck.
So the Citibanker said "OK, you've won twice. If you can win this test, we will bow to you. Let's make this elephant run".
He began to bark orders to the elephant, but the huge gray animal didn't budge. Nor did it move an inch when the HSBC guy tried to push it. Finally, the Maybank guy calmly strode over to the elephant and whispered something to it, and the animal took off at full speed as if it was being chased by a tiger.
Defeated, Mr.Citibank said, "Ok, fine, you've won. Your bank is the best bank. Now tell us your secret. What on earth were you telling that elephant?"
The Maybanker just smiled and replied:
"Well, the first time I made him laugh, I said Maybank is the best bank."
"When I made it cry, I told him how much I get paid."
"And when I made him run... I asked him to join Maybank."
