$6,000 for labor
$6,000 for materials
The second contractor was a Mexican,
The Mexicican contractor pushed on the old fence, examined it and took some measurements pulled out his calculator, pulled out a pen and paper, then after a few minutes said i can build the fence for $9,000 dollars
$3,000 for labor
$6,000 for materials
The Third contractor was a Filipino,
The Filipino smiled walked over to the forman and put his arm around him. He Filipino smillied again. After a few minutes he said I can build the fence for $29,000 dollars since you are my friend.
The forman shocked?!!? he asked "What the hell are you talking about? You Didn't even measure the thing, look at it or anything?!? How in the hell can you possibly think you will have a shot in hell in getting this contract at $29,000?"
The Filipino Just smilled. Then said softly
" Thats $10,ooo for me $10,ooo for you and we will pay the Mexican $9,ooo to do the work.
