Que lo pinte el Suizo


QUE LA PINTE EL SUIZO !!!

El alcalde de Mulege pide cotizaciones para pintar la
fachada del Ayuntamiento, y le entregan 3 ofertas
(de un mexicano, un gringo y un suizo).
La del suizo asciende a 3 millones de dólares, la del
gringo a 6 millones, y la del mexicano a 9 millones.
Ante tales diferencias, se entrevista con los ofertantes,
por separado, para que justifiquen su estimado de costo.
El suizo dice que él usa pintura acrílica para exteriores
en dos capas, y que cuesta 1 millón; en andamios,
brochas, equipos y seguros se va otro millón, y el otro
millón restante es la mano de obra.
El gringo justifica su estimado diciendo que él es mejor
pintor, que usa pintura de poliuretano con tres capas,
cuyo costo asciende a 3 millones.
En andamios, otros materiales, equipos y seguros se
gastan otros 2 millones, y el millón restante es la mano
de obra.
El último, que es el que finalmente gana la licitación ya
que el alcalde asegura que es el presupuesto mejor
justificado, resulta ser la del mexicano que en corto le
dijo: Mire Alcalde, 3 Millones son para usted, otros 3
para mí, y los 3 restantes se los damos al suizo para que
nos pinte la fachada'.
¡¡¡CUALQUIER PARECIDO CON LA VIDA POLÍTICA DE TU
MUNICIPIO ES PURA COINCIDENCIA!!! :lol::lol::lol:

The mayor of Mulege decided to request bids for the painting of City hall, and received 3 estimates: one from a Swiss for 3 million dollars, one from an American for 6 million, and one from a Mexican, this one for 9 million.

Given the disparity between the estimates, the mayor decided to interview the bidders so that they may justify their costs.

The swiss said that they would use two coats of exterior acrylic
paint and that would cost 1 million, 1 million to additional equipment and other costs, and the remaining million for labor.

The American said he is the best painter, that he would use three coats of polyurethane paint, and this would account for three million of the cost. Additional material, tools and insurance would raise the cost an additional two million, with the remaining million going to labor costs.

The Mexican, interviewed last and who won the contract guaranteed that his estimate was the best documented and justified: Look, Mayor, three million goes to you, three more to me, and the remaining three go to the swiss guy who will do the actual work.
