The Price of whistle
An American manufacturer was showing heavy equipment manufacturer to a guest who was a potential customer from Albania.
When lunch time, factory whistles sounded and the two thousand men and women immediately stopped working and left the building.
"Your workers, they run away!" the guest said. "You must stop them!"
"Don't worry, they'll be back," said the American. And indeed, at exactly one o'clock the whistle sounded again, and all the workers returned from their recess.
When the tour ended, the producer put the question to his guest and said, "Well, now, which machine do you want to order?"
"Forget the machines," said the guest. "How much do you want for that whistle?"
Harga peluit
Seorang produsen Amerika sedang menunjukkan pabrik pembuat alat berat kepada tamu yang merupakan pelanggan potensial dari Albania.
Ketika saat makan siang, peluit pabrik berbunyi dan dua ribu pria dan wanita segera berhenti bekerja dan meninggalkan gedung.
"Pekerja Anda, mereka melarikan diri!" kata tamu tersebut. "Anda harus menghentikan mereka!"
"Jangan khawatir, mereka akan kembali," kata orang Amerika. Dan memang, tepat pada pukul satu peluit berbunyi lagi, dan semua pekerja kembali dari istirahat mereka.
Ketika tur berakhir, produsen itu bertanya kepada tamunya dan berkata, "Nah, sekarang, mesin mana yang ingin Anda pesan?"
"Lupakan mesin," kata tamu tersebut. "Berapa harga yang Anda inginkan untuk peluit itu?"
