Figure this out...

My nephew Tan Beng sent me this:

In a small town on the south coast of France, the holiday season is in
full swing, but it is raining so there is not too much business happening.

Everyone is heavily in debt.

Luckily, a rich Russian tourist arrives in the foyer of the small local hotel.
He asks for a room and puts a Euro100 note on the reception counter, takes a
key and goes to inspect the room located up the stairs on the third floor.

The hotel owner takes the banknote in a hurry and rushes to his meat supplier
to whom he owes E100. The butcher takes the money and races to his supplier to
pay his debt. The wholesaler rushes to the farmer to pay E100 for pigs he
purchased some time ago.

The farmer triumphantly gives the E100 note to a local prostitute who had given him
her services on credit. The prostitute goes quickly to the hotel, as she was
owing the hotel for her hourly room use to entertain clients.

At that moment, the rich Russian tourist comes down to the reception and informs the
hotel owner that the proposed room is unsatisfactory, takes his E100 back
and departs.

There was no profit or income. But everyone no longer has any debt and the small
town's people look optimistically towards their future. Finis.
