Living the Dream

"$4 MILL problem solved: International business was looking to save overhead costs by expanding one their facilities in China to bring two of their businesses into the same location. They were strapped for cash because they had recently installed $10m of equipment to support a new program. The best quote they could find was for a price of $4m. The corporation wouldn't approve this additional expense at this time.

"The business subsequently received a visit from the governor of the region who informed them that this same town in China was being merged with 2 other regions to form a new region to which the government wanted to attract tourism. The bad news was they would not approve an expansion even if the funds were found because they wanted the company to vacate their manufacturing facility to make way for tourism. The good news was that in exchange, they would pay for the company to move their facility and all their equipment to a new location and build them a building that would accommodate all 3 locations in China.... a $4m problem solved!"
