I was walking through the supermarket to pick up a few things when I noticed an old lady following me around. Thinking nothing of it, I ignored her and continued on. Finally I went to the checkout line, but she got in front of me.
"Pardon me," she said, "I'm sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It's just that you look just like my son, who just died recently."
"I'm very sorry," I said to her, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes," she said, "As I'm leaving, can you say 'Good bye, Mom?' It would make me feel so much better."
"Sure," I said. An odd request, but no harm would come of it.
As the old woman was leaving, I called out, "Good Bye, Mom!"
As I stepped up to the checkout counter, I saw that my total was $1,027.50!!
"How can that be?" I asked, "I only purchased a few things!"
"Your mother said that you would pay for her," said the clerk.

INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS
This was sent to me by DiCala way back in February 2008. While I was revisiting my Blogs and stumbled across this particle, I found it to be worth sharing.
Here you go...
A man and his girlfriend were married.
A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal: "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage." she offered.
"Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together."
The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other.
They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.
"I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it. Enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husbands eyes.
"What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing" the husband replied, "keep reading your list."
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over top of it.
"Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists." She said happily.
Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you."
The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them. Never take some one for granted.
Hold every person Close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realise that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones." -- Mother Teresa

Malaysia ranked 60th in Corruption Perception Index
Friday December 2, 2011
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia took 60th spot in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) this year, a drop of four places from last year.
The country scored 4.3 on the survey which gauges the perceived level of public sector corruption among 183 countries.
Malaysia is ranked third among Asean nations behind Singapore (9.3) and Brunei (6.3).
About two-thirds of the countries surveyed scored below five, Transparency International-Malaysia (TI-M) secretary-general Josie M. Fernandez said yesterday.
“Malaysia is among 60% of the countries surveyed who scored below five,” she said.
Fernandez said the TI-M Corruption Barometer (CB) revealed that close to half of the 1,000 respondents believed the Malaysian Government was effective in its efforts to combat corruption.
The enforcement of corruption has increased, Fernandez said.
TI-M has forwarded eight recommendations to the Government, including amending the Official Secrets Act and enhancing the independence of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
In an immediate response, the Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu) said it is pursuing issues related to corruption very seriously.
“This will include an entire transformation of the MACC,” Pemandu’s NKRA & NKEA director D. Ravindran said.
New Zealand took top spot in this year’s rankings with a score of 9.5, followed by Denmark and Finland (both at 9.4).
Countries with the highest perceived level of corruption are Somalia and North Korea (1.0) as well as Afghanistan and Myanmar (1.5).

“地痞赫”外傳 (8)
〝可可醫院〞的情節交代完畢﹐現在回到〝特馬酒店〞一事再作詳述。
話說在可可帝國尚未脫離大布列顛帝國管轄而獨立之前﹐其國名為〝黃金海岸〞。遠在1956年黃金海岸的政府當局把特馬市交由目前的特馬行政局去進行策劃﹑開發﹑建設﹑管理這個佔地約莫兩千英畝的特馬工業區﹐為期兩百年（比香港特區租借期限還長一百年﹗）其中包括特馬煉油中心﹑特馬深水碼頭﹑及其他一系列的經濟商業中心。免不了就有了這間在1960年代由當時的蘇聯建築商承包的〝國際子午變更線大酒店〞﹐這酒店呢是特馬行政局租借給一間私營酒店開發管理公司去經營的﹔當時黃金海岸的國家大大小小酬宴都在這裡舉辦進行﹐風光一時。但時過境遷﹐當時的黃金帝國也在1957年宣佈獨立成為可可帝國。但它就不像我國一般只換元首不換政府﹐一路來可可帝國經歷了幾次政變換了無數次政府。昔日輝煌眩耀的國宴大酒店也淪落到今天的危樓一座。該私營酒店開發管理公司又不知如何把整座荒廢了的〝特馬酒店〞賣給了拉肚蟾蜍在大馬的公司嘔到夠﹐而拉肚蟾蜍和扣肉又另外共同擁有可可帝國嘔到夠﹐該公司又間接的擁有〝特馬酒店〞的50%。
大家不妨從這段文字裡頭分析分析〝特馬酒店〞的法律擁有權利﹐花落誰家﹐一時還難以闡明。
且說地痞赫上一回把心一橫給了40%的股份予馬難一殺以期〝請君入甕〞之後﹐也順道走訪扣肉刺探〝特馬酒店〞的虛實。大家也沒忘記阿送仔在扣肉面前栽的跟斗和馬難一殺千遍吩咐的〝隱姓埋名〞策略吧﹖這次由地痞赫帶領手下眾將浩浩蕩蕩的往扣肉的辦公大樓殺去﹔大伙少不了又期待上回威震八方﹑說服勞力士的精彩顯赫的戰果重現眼前﹐以期和老闆滿載而歸﹑凱旋回去。
百聞不如一見﹐這位響噹噹的重量級人物到今天才出現在眾人眼前。細心打量這扣肉﹐瘦小身裁身穿白色捲袖襯衫﹐臉上架著一副近視眼鏡﹐坐在倘大一張會議桌子前看著圖樣﹐神情不吭不卑﹐完完全全的一個溫文有禮的書生模樣﹔和地痞赫那副〝挺著懷胎十月瀕臨待產的彌勒佛陀身裁〞不可同日而言。連他吩咐女秘書做事時的談吐口吻也和地痞赫的粗聲霸氣〝兩相極化〞。
扣肉他看到一眾人大駕光臨﹐站起來和各人一一握手道安﹐謙卑有禮。
閒話少說﹐進入正題。此次當然是由地痞赫一人主持大局發表〝萎〞論﹔果然此廝不鳴則已﹑語出驚人﹐一開口就把上次阿送仔栽跟斗的事情抖出來並攔下自己扛一切過失﹐隨行的大伙不禁為他捏了把冷汗衣衫濕透。地痞赫滔滔不絕的講了約莫十幾二十分鐘﹐總算下了個結論﹐就是﹕〝我地痞赫次行而來善意的要幫你扣肉把這〝特馬酒店〞的艱巨工程以策劃﹑設計﹑繪測﹑承建﹑完成及移交的方式來進行。我甚至可以為你扣肉找來國際知名酒店集團經營這酒店。〞
扣肉由始至終都微笑盈盈的洗耳恭聽地痞赫的長篇大論﹐也不在乎對方那口婉如〝上不著天﹑下不落地〞的英語﹔等對方竭盡所能﹑氣喘連連時說道﹕〝眾位嘉賓失禮了﹐其實這項‘特馬工程’已經‘易地而戰’﹔我已向我國政府徵求到另一地段計劃蓋一間五星級酒店﹑國際水準會議聽和附加溜冰場商業中心的綜合性項目﹐也喚其名為‘國際子午變更線國際大酒店’。至於您所說的這地段呢﹐我也打算把它改建為寫字樓。一切圖樣都已委託南非的繪測公司進行。屆時你公司若有這個意思﹐我會邀請你們和那些西班牙﹑意大利等規模宏大的建築公司一起公開兢爭投標這項工程。〞
（哈哈﹗我說地痞赫怎麼馬難一殺沒替你調收扣肉這家〝廣播電臺〞的頻率嗎﹖這麼重要的訊息你都後知後覺給人踹一腿﹖而少不免馬難一殺又在地痞赫面前喊冤叫屈﹐說自己也被扣肉玩弄於指掌﹐對這個晴天霹靂一點天氣預告都沒有。）
扣肉這輕描淡寫﹑舉手投足﹑談笑之間竟然涵蓋了姑蘇幕容世家的〝以彼之施還治彼身〞曠世絕學﹐〝行家一出手便知有沒有〞﹐這一來扣肉的逍遙派武功可說是技高一籌﹑大穫全勝。
地痞赫這次吃了扣肉的一記〝如封似閉〞﹐隱隱約約間背後又好像也莫名其妙的中了一招〝龍背抽筋〞﹔傷在骨子裡外人不知（自己〝暗感〞）﹐只是鍛羽而歸﹐臉上無光﹔難道他就這樣棄械投降不成﹖在他字典裡可還找不著〝認輸〞這個辭彙。你說他還有什麼計謀〝收復失地﹑報仇雪恨〞﹖他的錦囊妙計﹕拉肚蟾蜍﹗
拉肚蟾蜍是大馬嘔到夠的號東﹐自然也是〝特馬酒店〞地段和其一切產業的擁有人（這〝特馬酒店〞‘一對紅脣千人吻﹑一雙玉臂萬人枕’的身份關係已在開始時交代得一清二楚）﹔如果把這地段買下來﹐那地痞赫豈不又是〝蛟龍翻身﹑叱吒風雲〞﹖
只是地痞赫還尚未和拉肚蟾蜍密謀大事﹐〝萬事未備東風沒起〞﹐連八字都還沒一撇﹔馬難一殺已經千里飛鴿傳書十萬火急的向地痞赫稟報軍情﹐說道扣肉揚言不會放棄〝特馬酒店〞的地段﹐寧可玉碎不願瓦全﹐他隨時奉陪任何人和他對薄公堂﹐以嬴取土地擁有權。
這扣肉的消息真是比蘇格蘭場的偵探還來得靈通快捷﹐那馬難一殺的稟報效率也還這真是有先見之明﹐這個中的偶然巧合﹑奧妙玄機也只有見人見智﹐不必旁人〝畫公仔畫出腸〞來了。
因為上回說到馬難一殺向地痞赫提出的條件﹕〝說是在可可帝國的所有大大小小事無從當下次刻起他只認地痞赫一人﹐指名道姓達人樹根一干旁人一概無資格過問﹑參與﹑干涉。〞所以這兩齣〝可可醫院〞和〝特馬酒店〞的橋本再延續下去究竟是地痞赫的生意頭腦〝雄霸天下〞還是馬難一殺的智慧到後來〝笑傲江湖〞﹐旁人只好拭目以待﹐眼下無可奉告了。只能套用一句經典名詞﹕〝成也馬難一殺敗也馬難一殺〞﹗
寫到這裡﹐地痞赫在可可帝國的一齣令人〝大開眼界﹑嘆為觀止〞的肥皂劇（Soap Opera）也只好草草結束…
接下來要寫的是地痞赫零零碎碎〝待人處世﹑生財之道〞的一套他獨家的見解。
旁觀者言﹕
o 〝爾欺我詐〞乃兵家常事也。剛愎自用的人最終往往是馬失前蹄﹐趨勢附炎的人也未必會得償心願。所謂〝天網恢恢疏而不漏〞﹐自作孽的不可活﹐種善因的得善果。報應未必就在眼前﹐天遣又有誰能躲避﹖

“地痞赫”外傳 (7)
地痞赫的生意頭腦 PK馬難一殺的智慧 (六)
話說阿嘟嘟這次乘興而來敗興而歸﹐什麼油水也沒撈到﹐是個怎麼樣的心情就不得而知﹐只曉得他在回國之前把所有在地痞赫機構裡有關人士的電話都打遍了﹐來來去去就是碰到太極拳中以靜制動的〝如封似閉〞這一招。
馬難一殺在會議裡始終一言不發﹐過後他有說了一句〝公道話〞﹕為什麼要送這送呢﹖等合約簽下來他叔叔要買幾臺電視都能啊﹗
唉﹗馬難一殺﹐你是這劇本的主筆﹐有什麼〝難言之隱〞﹐外人可無法瞭解啊﹐真難為你這吃黃蓮的〝夾心人〞了。
這次的重擔子自然的又是落在達人樹根的肩上﹐因為他的brother地痞赫把這重大任務交到他手上﹐由他去和馬難一殺保持聯繫﹐〝可可醫院〞的工程志在必得﹔因為地痞赫在本國的總公司辦公室已是他的禁足之地﹕公司經濟出現抓襟見肘﹑入不敷出的困境﹐幾乎每個月都有供應商和二手承包商上門來大呼小叫吵著追錢討債。他深居淺出潛伏在龜殼裡﹐天打雷劈都由他的〝哮天犬〞天寶犬太郎去抵擋﹔這雖是一時良策卻不是長久之計。〝可可醫院〞合約如果拿下來﹐就將會有一筆30%的開工預付款項（六百萬美金的30%計有一百八十萬兌馬幣為六百萬﹐不多）﹐足以讓他的公司沖緩沖緩一下目前弦拔弓張的局勢﹐也可用於其他〝更有價值〞的用途上矣。
話說地痞赫在可可帝國的分公司因為得不到總公司的接濟﹐周轉不靈出現了嚴重的財務虛脫問題﹐其坐鎮的負責人不但被逼把白坐乾撈的幾個黑將軍裁退﹐也即將面對三餐不續的困境﹐只好將手頭上僅有的一張回程經濟艙機票拿到航空公司定位﹐漏夜收拾細軟落荒而逃。（次舉還不敢驚動那位亞伯拉罕泥龜大兄﹐真是窩囊到家了。）
那為什麼此君又要走得這般狼狽呢﹖這裡略做交代。話說他自從走馬上任以來馬不停蹄的四下張羅為地痞赫開發業務﹐期間免不了要向地痞赫偷師﹐施展那〝語不驚人死不休〞的厚顏技倆。所謂無心插柳柳成陰﹐他一路走來大大小小多多也接觸了多位商界人士達成共識﹐商洽幾項可行性工程﹐計有﹕估計三十億美元的濱海城計劃﹐六億美元的〝中鐵醫院〞修建工程﹐可可帝國自由貿易局批下來五千英畝於石油城的新市鎮大藍圖…等等。現在那些被說得芳心大動的人不勝其煩的在催此君對垮下的海口給予肯定﹐偏偏這時達人樹根對他呈遞上去的計劃報告書患上嚴重的消化不良﹐完全沒有任何指示下一步棋的走法。真是〝前無去路後有追兵〞﹐這邊對外人〝信義掃地﹑名譽破產〞﹐那廂公司對自己〝冷暖不顧﹑生死不理〞﹐加上地痞赫對馬難一殺的一顰一笑都情有獨鍾﹐死心蹋地的守住〝可可醫院〞工程不放﹐對其這負責人的諸多計劃一概不屑一顧﹔於是此君也就覺得沒什麼眷戀的餘地﹐〝此處不留人自有留人處〞﹐千里良駒何愁沒有獨具慧眼的伯樂﹖怏怏離開了可可帝國﹐另謀高就去了。
這回說到馬難一殺和阿嘟嘟先後回去可可帝國後又再故技重施﹕音訊全無﹐打電話也找不著﹐用時下最流行的黑草莓手機〝BBM〞（Black Berry Message）給他也不作復。
最後只有求證於馬難一殺的死黨亞伯拉罕泥龜﹐跟據此人口風﹐馬難一殺目前已和扣肉〝決裂〞大道回府身在婆羅乃帝國。嗯﹐死黨果然就是真的不同凡響﹐連地痞赫無法知道的最高機密他都能瞭如指掌。
於是在萬不得已之下地痞赫只好恭請拉肚蟾蜍出馬尋找馬難一殺。終於皇天不負有心人﹐達人樹根收到馬難一殺捎來的BBM對〝可可醫院〞作了以下的解說﹕
那天我和阿嘟嘟在貴公司吃了一碗鐵砂飯﹐依你所指回到可可帝國找勞力士磋商﹐真不愧他是你們公司合作伙伴﹔也對我使出同樣的殺手翦﹗我和阿嘟嘟在求助無門之下只好孤軍作戰咬緊牙根承頂所有開銷費用。現在阿嘟嘟在這項工程中是龍頭佬大﹐萬事都看他臉色行事。目前我們仍然以勞力士的名義去贏取合約﹐然後以二手承包商價錢轉手全盤割給勞力士。我無法給地痞赫的公司任何承諾﹔云云…
這下子峰迴路轉﹑高潮迭起。達人樹根不禁以他專業工程師的頭腦為這整件事情作了一個分析﹐好向他的brother交代﹕
(1) 馬難一殺是咱公司40%的持有人﹐他現在說這番話﹐屁股到底坐到板凳那邊去了﹖

旁觀者言﹕
o 能在君主眼前偷天換日﹑栽贓嫁禍﹐又會令到聖上不問皂白﹑宰殺忠臣﹔自己毛遂自薦﹑取而代之者﹐實叫秦檜伏首﹑趙高稱臣也﹗
〈且待下回分解〉
（特注﹕以上和以下的時間﹑事項﹑人物﹑地點﹑背景﹑等等等等如與生活中的實際事項有所雷同﹐乃純屬不幸的機緣巧合﹔只能怨天不可尤人。）
話說阿嘟嘟這次乘興而來敗興而歸﹐什麼油水也沒撈到﹐是個怎麼樣的心情就不得而知﹐只曉得他在回國之前把所有在地痞赫機構裡有關人士的電話都打遍了﹐來來去去就是碰到太極拳中以靜制動的〝如封似閉〞這一招。
馬難一殺在會議裡始終一言不發﹐過後他有說了一句〝公道話〞﹕為什麼要送這送呢﹖等合約簽下來他叔叔要買幾臺電視都能啊﹗
唉﹗馬難一殺﹐你是這劇本的主筆﹐有什麼〝難言之隱〞﹐外人可無法瞭解啊﹐真難為你這吃黃蓮的〝夾心人〞了。
這次的重擔子自然的又是落在達人樹根的肩上﹐因為他的brother地痞赫把這重大任務交到他手上﹐由他去和馬難一殺保持聯繫﹐〝可可醫院〞的工程志在必得﹔因為地痞赫在本國的總公司辦公室已是他的禁足之地﹕公司經濟出現抓襟見肘﹑入不敷出的困境﹐幾乎每個月都有供應商和二手承包商上門來大呼小叫吵著追錢討債。他深居淺出潛伏在龜殼裡﹐天打雷劈都由他的〝哮天犬〞天寶犬太郎去抵擋﹔這雖是一時良策卻不是長久之計。〝可可醫院〞合約如果拿下來﹐就將會有一筆30%的開工預付款項（六百萬美金的30%計有一百八十萬兌馬幣為六百萬﹐不多）﹐足以讓他的公司沖緩沖緩一下目前弦拔弓張的局勢﹐也可用於其他〝更有價值〞的用途上矣。
話說地痞赫在可可帝國的分公司因為得不到總公司的接濟﹐周轉不靈出現了嚴重的財務虛脫問題﹐其坐鎮的負責人不但被逼把白坐乾撈的幾個黑將軍裁退﹐也即將面對三餐不續的困境﹐只好將手頭上僅有的一張回程經濟艙機票拿到航空公司定位﹐漏夜收拾細軟落荒而逃。（次舉還不敢驚動那位亞伯拉罕泥龜大兄﹐真是窩囊到家了。）
那為什麼此君又要走得這般狼狽呢﹖這裡略做交代。話說他自從走馬上任以來馬不停蹄的四下張羅為地痞赫開發業務﹐期間免不了要向地痞赫偷師﹐施展那〝語不驚人死不休〞的厚顏技倆。所謂無心插柳柳成陰﹐他一路走來大大小小多多也接觸了多位商界人士達成共識﹐商洽幾項可行性工程﹐計有﹕估計三十億美元的濱海城計劃﹐六億美元的〝中鐵醫院〞修建工程﹐可可帝國自由貿易局批下來五千英畝於石油城的新市鎮大藍圖…等等。現在那些被說得芳心大動的人不勝其煩的在催此君對垮下的海口給予肯定﹐偏偏這時達人樹根對他呈遞上去的計劃報告書患上嚴重的消化不良﹐完全沒有任何指示下一步棋的走法。真是〝前無去路後有追兵〞﹐這邊對外人〝信義掃地﹑名譽破產〞﹐那廂公司對自己〝冷暖不顧﹑生死不理〞﹐加上地痞赫對馬難一殺的一顰一笑都情有獨鍾﹐死心蹋地的守住〝可可醫院〞工程不放﹐對其這負責人的諸多計劃一概不屑一顧﹔於是此君也就覺得沒什麼眷戀的餘地﹐〝此處不留人自有留人處〞﹐千里良駒何愁沒有獨具慧眼的伯樂﹖怏怏離開了可可帝國﹐另謀高就去了。
這回說到馬難一殺和阿嘟嘟先後回去可可帝國後又再故技重施﹕音訊全無﹐打電話也找不著﹐用時下最流行的黑草莓手機〝BBM〞（Black Berry Message）給他也不作復。
最後只有求證於馬難一殺的死黨亞伯拉罕泥龜﹐跟據此人口風﹐馬難一殺目前已和扣肉〝決裂〞大道回府身在婆羅乃帝國。嗯﹐死黨果然就是真的不同凡響﹐連地痞赫無法知道的最高機密他都能瞭如指掌。
於是在萬不得已之下地痞赫只好恭請拉肚蟾蜍出馬尋找馬難一殺。終於皇天不負有心人﹐達人樹根收到馬難一殺捎來的BBM對〝可可醫院〞作了以下的解說﹕
那天我和阿嘟嘟在貴公司吃了一碗鐵砂飯﹐依你所指回到可可帝國找勞力士磋商﹐真不愧他是你們公司合作伙伴﹔也對我使出同樣的殺手翦﹗我和阿嘟嘟在求助無門之下只好孤軍作戰咬緊牙根承頂所有開銷費用。現在阿嘟嘟在這項工程中是龍頭佬大﹐萬事都看他臉色行事。目前我們仍然以勞力士的名義去贏取合約﹐然後以二手承包商價錢轉手全盤割給勞力士。我無法給地痞赫的公司任何承諾﹔云云…
這下子峰迴路轉﹑高潮迭起。達人樹根不禁以他專業工程師的頭腦為這整件事情作了一個分析﹐好向他的brother交代﹕
(1) 馬難一殺是咱公司40%的持有人﹐他現在說這番話﹐屁股到底坐到板凳那邊去了﹖
(2) 馬難一殺言下之意無非說明地痞赫的公司能不能參與這項〝可可醫院〞工程﹐還得看阿嘟嘟和他馬難一殺的臉色心情。
(3) 即使有幸參與﹐還不是又落到二流角色的下場﹖而且還得向勞力士那裡打點呢。

“地痞赫”外傳 (6)
地痞赫的生意頭腦 PK馬難一殺的智慧 (五)
俗話說〝有因前世定﹑有緣今生聚〞。馬難一殺和拉肚蟾蜍是老朋友﹐而拉肚蟾蜍又和地痞赫是商業上的深交﹐所以馬難一殺和地痞赫到後來會走在一塊﹐可說是冥冥中註定的〝前生今世共徜佯〞。想想馬難一殺身陷於扣肉那快將沉沒的《海神號》小舢舨在濤天大浪中茍喘殘存﹑咽咽一息﹐眼看地痞赫這艏似模似樣的《鐵達尼號》大郵輪張揚而來﹐豈可錯失良機﹖於是一躍就躍上了地痞赫的旗艦﹐這樣一來呢地痞赫無形中又在他的重建江山﹑收復失地大計裡增加了一位大將﹐如虎添翼。
不過呢這個馬難一殺乃是隻閑遊野鶴﹑悠悠白雲﹐過慣了三界不管的無拘無束日子。但是地痞赫頗有海量〝對事不對人〞﹐只要馬難一殺乖乖的將那兩項大工程交到他手裡﹐萬事都有得商量。
只是馬難一殺太多時候就和沒拴上鞍韁的野馬一樣﹐時而不見蹤影﹐電話不聽也沒回。而〝可可醫院〞的一切進度細節也沒向地痞赫稟報﹐只草草的丟給地痞赫一份概念圖叫他估價﹐並聲明地痞赫在這項工程將辦演的二流角色算是做了個交代。這就是為何聰明絕頂的地痞赫會出讓40%的公司股份給馬難一殺﹕你有張良計我有過牆梯﹐大家平分秋色﹑彼此彼此﹗
地痞赫向來處事皆是粗枝大葉不管細節的瞎幹﹐遠在都門金鑾殿的他又怎麼知道馬難一殺在可可帝國搞這國醫院工程所涉級的人馬有幾許﹖要知道馬難一殺在該國的十幾年光陰可不是白混的﹐這項工程涉及的濟濟人才就有﹕
(1) 有關當局的官員不知幾人﹐馬難一殺也只能高攀到坐鎮第二把交椅的副總裁。
(2) 阿嘟嘟﹐可可帝國的地頭蟲﹐此人從小穿開襠褲時就和當局〝西伊歐〞（CEO; 總裁也）的孩子玩泥沙彈子。所以打點〝西伊歐〞的重任自然的就落在這位仁兄的肩上。
(3) 勞力士﹐這齣〝肥皂劇〞（Soap Opera）的幌子。
(4) 年紀老邁的當地建築師科菲﹔馬難一殺在可可帝國如影隨行的良師益友。
(5) 公司設在我國的醫院設計顧問團﹐其中包括﹕1.醫院專家（Hospital Design Specialist）﹐2.繪測師（Architect）﹐3.電機工程設計師（M&E Engineer）﹔等等﹐不勝枚舉。
地痞赫﹐你的二流角色可要向這麼多廟進貢這麼多神燒香﹐你可吃得來﹖
話又說回來﹐既然地痞赫給了馬難一殺40%的股份之後﹐那他們之間不分彼此﹐〝可可醫院〞就順理成章是地痞赫的囊中之物﹐而他也名正言順的三級跳一下子躍升到封神臺上穩當老大﹗你說地痞赫這一手〝逆境求生﹑轉敗為勝〞的戲法耍不耍得漂亮瀟灑﹖
〝好﹐既然你想當老大﹐ 那就你當老大吧。〞阿嘟嘟於是趁著前來馬來西亞渡假的當兒﹐專程瑾見我們這位龍頭老大﹐馬難一殺也結伴而來。
大家約莫等了兩個多三個鐘頭﹐地痞赫才結束他從早上安排得密密麻麻的會議斯條慢理的走進副議廳。事先馬難一殺給地痞赫說了﹐阿嘟嘟充其數只是跑腿（runner）﹐等合約拿下來後他就功成身退﹐拿了他的佣金嘆他的世界去了。
阿嘟嘟開門見山﹕〝我和當局‘西伊歐’的孩子是兒時玩伴﹐所以‘西伊歐’叔叔含糊含糊的也知道我這個晚輩。他老人家明年就會光榮退休﹐因此這次的合約也將是他臨別秋波的代表作﹐所以一切都不成問題。〞一頓﹐又說﹔〝當然﹐沒先撒一把米也捉不到雞。我呢眼下就和馬兄負責為他老人家的舊居進行裝修﹐工程就快完成﹐只是呢尚欠一點裝飾品。〞
地痞赫在冷氣會議廳裡點燃了一根香菸﹐正眼也不看阿嘟嘟一下﹕〝那需要些什麼﹖〞
〝我打算送他兩架五十吋液晶電視﹐他家的車房電動開關﹐院子籬笆的保安設備﹐另加五臺高功能手提電腦給他的關鍵手下。〞
〝嗯﹐此去貴國千里迢迢﹐那你打算怎樣把電視扛回去﹖〞
〝喔﹗喔﹗那…那您甭操心﹐你只要把所需的款項折換成美金﹐我次番回國路過迪拜﹐順道從那裡買了帶回去。〞
地痞赫一根香菸沒抽幾口﹐就吩咐了在座的區區記錄下來交由他的brother 達人樹根去處理﹐然後一言不發腳底搽油﹑溜之大吉。（和他開會那麼幾次﹐這還是頭一遭地痞赫放棄發言權而去的現象。）
這阿嘟嘟還真有意思﹐興致勃勃的不停追問幾時可把錢送到他下榻的五星級酒店﹖還拋下一句﹕〝我從此事多年駕輕就熟﹐我要的東西一定不容錯失。〞
（唉﹗阿嘟嘟﹐天地良心﹑有一說一﹐我們公司現在是山窮水盡﹐今日不知明日事﹐員工的薪水都成了問題﹔有的人的預付開銷都讓公司給欠到近八萬大元而且一拖就一整年還沒著落… 我看你暫時先買十四吋的彩電給你叔叔吧…）
這件事少不了又要勞動我們達人樹根的〝太極氣功十八式〞四兩撥千斤的把事情先轉到掌管國庫的天寶犬太郎身上﹐然後又以〝您所撥打的號碼暫時無法接通〞這星換斗移的將阿嘟嘟擋了回去。
旁觀者言﹕
o 拿著別人手上的籌碼去和對方衡量計較﹐若是能穩操勝卷﹑無往不利﹐那其所運用的計謀策略肯定是兵法的第三十七計﹐稱得上〝前無古者﹐今世神人〞矣﹗
