The gates of Heaven broke, and God wanted to tender a reconstruction. An Indian said: it can be done for 3,000 yuan, reasoning that 1,000 for materials, 1,000 for labor, and I earn 1,000 myself. Then a German said: it will cost 6,000 yuan, 2,000 for materials, 2,000 for labor, and I earn 2,000 myself. Finally, a Chinese calmly said: it will cost 9,000 yuan, 3,000 for you, 3,000 for me, and the remaining 3,000 goes to that Indian to do the work. God slammed the table: awarded!
Later, the gates of Hell also broke, and when tendering, they learned from the previous lesson and set a control price of 3,000. The German looked at it and left, the Indian quoted 3,000. The Chinese gave the little demon in charge of evaluation 500, quoted 3,000, and won the bid. The German and Indian were puzzled. Later, the Chinese spent 500 on materials and 500 on labor, completed half, and then announced a halt. After half a year, Hell invested an additional 3,000, and it was completed!
Later, the elevator connecting Heaven and Hell broke and needed reconstruction. After the lessons from the previous two cases, a control price of 3,000 was set and it must be repaired properly in one go. The German came to take a look and left, the Indian quoted 3,000. The Chinese also quoted 3,000 and promised Maotai (very cheap) upon completion. Awarded. After receiving the money, the Chinese began work. Materials 500, labor 500. Upon completion, God sent someone to inspect. The inspector (who had received a 500 bribe from the Chinese in advance) said it was unqualified and needed to be rebuilt. So an additional 9,000 was allocated to rebuild!
Later, the gates of the human world also broke, souls couldn't reincarnate, and after learning from previous lessons, a strict price of 3,000 was set with on-site supervision and auditing! With a free warranty for 100 million years, the Germans were scared away, the Indians quoted 3,000, the Chinese came, fixed it for free, provided a free warranty for 200 million years, but requested 50 million years of management rights. God agreed. So after the Chinese repaired it, they set up a toll station at the gate: 500 per person per reincarnation, charged both ways, no ceiling; those who didn't pay would reincarnate only in China in the next life.
Later, China had the largest population.
