A funny case abt beauty, dignity, money- please comment A UK guy contacted me for one job - rewriting Macau 2005 business/economy update He said 6 pages by his mean standard It actually was 12 pages My friend a Portuguese did it for him in 2004 and was paid USD4XX which was a low price already But this year he said this guy/job is too trouble and it is kicked to me Ok, I checked the length article, I searched into the datas sea and the everchanging economic status of Macau, I found a lot efforts is needed for this job. I quoted my price USD5xx, which I thought still pretty low but OK making a living is not easy. The blooded UK guy replied, "I thought one day is enough for it and I only pay USD3xx." He really annoyed me. He wanted to pay less than last year bcoz of my Chinese name. The Portuguese friend wrote me, "Well, it is like that.In China, the bloody capitalist always look for cheap labor. Tell him to do it himself, through the net." I agreed and did reply the bloody UK capitalist to eat himself(aha, Cantonese slang. bd UK replied this morning, "I can pay USD4xx, I merely cant do it bcoz am not in Macau." "what do you want? Cheap labor from me? from Macau? From China? No Way. I don;t work for you!!!" Shall I reply him like this? Yes, not a penny less! Sorry, the title just to lure u into reading; Suggestions and ideas please. Thks. |

Never set a low price on your time or your skills, because those in the world are not going to increase it. If the bloody UK capitalist is unwilling to meet your price and pay you what is fair he should do the job himself. If he does choose to do the task himself I am sure that the product won't be near the quality that you could deliver, he sounds like he is inept to the task. Best of luck (^_^)
