you pay less on a bad crop you pay more on a good crop

Interesting. Seems like a good system.

 

[jbeas176]

i think you have to think about tthe people you work with it does no good to let them swing on a rope. your in it together

 

[jbeas176]

i did the same thing with my subcontractors. if they made a mistake or missed something on the plan and did not include in their price we split it. its a line item on my spreadsheet called incedentals

 

[jbeas176]

3 percent

i used to explain the client what it was for if we didn’t use it they coulld have it back

The problem with this system is how can you control if they are lying about a good crop or not? Argentina being Argentina my guess is every year they would say they had a bad crop.

I don't know if this sounds fair. If you forgot to ask for something I don't think the subcontractor should be expected to pay half.

i ‘ll give you another example. when building roads you need line items for winter conditions and hard digs. its a budget but is there if you need it.

if you don’t open the books the bidding company will just add it in x 2 even if it doesn’t happen

What is stopping them from cooking the books? I can't imagine too many books are clean in Argentina. Yesterday at lunch I got 20% discount to pay with cash. I can't imagine all these places in Argentina don't have 2 or 3 sets of books. 🤣

20%? Wow that is a good cash discount. May I ask what restaurant it was?

One accountant once told me in Argentina if a company paid all the legal taxes they would not make any money.

It was at Piegari Carnes next to the Four Seasons hotel. One of my favorite steak places. I think they have much better steaks than Don Julio for much cheaper. The food here is good. I didn't have much cash left but when the waiter told me it was 20% less to pay in cash I couldn't pass it up. Most places it is only 10% discount.

i wasn’t in the retail business. commercial only. everybody makes mistakes in the construction business. if i didn’t protect them their next bid would be alot higher. i want the best prices when bidding projects.

 

[jbeas176]

that door swings both ways. i show them a spreadsheet with all the pricing so if ther is a problem the spreadsheet is the map they can follow. its nothing like residential with a single price on a piece of paper

Milei seems like the lessor of evils when it comes to corrupt politicians in Argentina for many people. At least that is what my friends in BA tell me. At least they seem to be keeping his sister out of the public more than before. She seems universally not liked by many. Interesting seeing her poll numbers at 20% approval. 80% of the people hate her.
