1. The gates of heaven were broken, and the angels put out a tender for reconstruction. The Indian said: '3,000 to fix it, with 1,000 for materials, 1,000 for labor, and 1,000 profit for me.' The German said: 'It will cost 6,000, with 2,000 for materials, 2,000 for labor, and 2,000 for profit.' Finally, the Chinese calmly said: 'This will be 9,000: 3,000 for you, 3,000 for me, and the remaining 3,000 for that Indian to do the work.' The angel banged the table: 'Winner!'
2. Later, the gates of hell also broke, and when putting out a tender, they learned from previous lessons and set a control price of 3,000. The German glanced at it and left, the Indian bid 3,000. The Chinese gave the evaluating little devil 500 and quoted 3,000, and won the bid. Both the German and the Indian were puzzled. Then, the Chinese spent 500 on materials and 500 on labor, repaired half of it, and announced a halt. After six months, hell invested an additional 3,000, and it was completed!
3. Later, the elevator connecting heaven and hell broke and needed reconstruction. Learning from the previous two experiences, the control price was set at 3,000, and it had to be completed in one go. The German came again, glanced, and left. The Indian bid 3,000. The Chinese also bid 3,000 and even promised a bottle of Moutai when completed, winning the bid. After receiving the money, the Chinese started work. Materials 500, labor 500. Upon completion, God sent someone to inspect. The inspector (who had beforehand taken a 500 bribe from the Chinese) said it was not up to standard and had to be rebuilt. So, an additional 9,000 was added for reconstruction!
