A committee is convened and before it 3 contractors are presented.
The committee asks each one of them to present an estimate for construction costs.
The first one to be asked is a Chinese man. He thinks for a few minutes and says: 1 million dollars!
The next one is German, he ask for a few hours to think and analyze the problem. He comes back with a pile of plans and an estimate of 10million dollars.
When asked for an estimate the final contracter, a Russian responds almost immediately: 3 millon dollars!
The chairman of the committee asks: Mr Ivanov how did you calculate the estimate so quickly?
Mr Ivanov responds: “Mr chairman, everything is simple. One million for me, one million for you, and one million for the Chinese guy to build the damn thing!”
