 Pakistani way of doing business..
Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White house in Washington D.C. One from Bangladesh, another from China and third from Pakistan.
They go with a White House office to examine the fence.
The Bangladeshi contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil, “Well”, he says, “I figure the job will run about $900. ($400 for materials, $400 for my team and $100 profit for me).
The Chinese contractor also does some measuring and figuring then says, “I can do this job for $700. ($300 for material, $300 for my team and $100 profit for me).
The Pakistani contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, “$2,700.”
The official, incredulous, says, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?
The Pakistani contractor whispers back, “$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from China to fix the fence.”
"Done!" this was reply of official.
