Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the Presidential Building in Jakarta, one from Bekasi, another from Bandung and the third from Bogor.
They go with a government official to examine the fence.The Bandung 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 IR 9,000,000: IR 4,000,000 for materials, IR 4,000,000 for my crew and IR 1,000,000 profit for me."
The Bogor contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for IR 8,000,000: IR 4,000,000 for materials, IR 3,000,000 for my crew and IR 1,000,000 profit for me."
The Bekasi contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the official and whispers, "IR 28,000,000"The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"
The Bekasi contractor whispers back, "IR 10,000,000 for me, IR 10,000,0000 for you, and we hire the guy from Bogor to fix the fence.""Done!" replies the government official
