How to Break Down the Cost
費用怎樣分配
The president of a large corporation decided that it was time to build a new factory. He asked representatives from three development companies to come in and make a bid on the project.
一家大公司的總裁決定要蓋一間新廠房。他約來了三家房產公司的業務代表對這項工程進行競標。
The three companies showed up at the scheduled meeting. The president of the large corporation asked the first company whose president earned his MBA from UCLA, "How much will your company charge for this project?"
三家公司在約定的時間都到齊了。大公司的總裁問第一家公司：“這項工程你們的報價是多少？”這家公司的老板是加利福尼亞大學洛杉磯分校的MBA。
"20 million, 10 million for materials and 10 million for labor."
“2000萬，1000萬購買建材，1000萬付勞務費。”
The president then asks the same question to the second company whose president earned his MBA from Stanford.
大公司的總裁又問了第二家公司相同的問題，他們的老板是斯坦福大學的MBA。
"30 million, 15 million for materials, 13 million for labor, and 2 million for licenses and permits."
“3000萬，1500萬購買建材，1300萬付勞務費，兩百萬用來辦理各種許可證。”
Finally, the president asks the last company whose president earned his MBA from USC.
最后，大公司的總裁問第三家公司，他們的老板是南加利福尼亞大學的MBA。
"40 million."
“4000萬。”
"FOURTY MILLION," yelled the persident of the large corporation. "How do you break down the cost?"
“4000萬！”總裁叫道，“你們怎樣用這些錢呢？”
"10 million for you, 10 million for me, and 20 million to get the guy from UCLA to build the factory!"
“1000萬給你，1000萬給我，剩下的2000萬把工程包給第一家公司！”
