CHINESE TO BUILD POLISH ROADS.... [92]
There are also indications that the Polish authorities are using Chinese bidders to drive down costs.
When Warsaw felt the bids for its new underground train line were too high, it got the Chinese to bid.
The Chinese did not win that time, but their competitors slashed their prices drastically in response.
It has been called the "Chinese effect", says Michael Dembinski of the British-Polish Chamber of Commerce.
Smart money saving tactics ... but with the chinese??? They do make poor quality products but the russians in the far east (yakutsk, irkutsk etc) prefer to employ chinese migrant workers to build their infrastructure over the local russians because they work for less and produce better quality buildings.
On the other hand if you employ poles they will also do a ****** job because they want the roads/buildings to break down so they have to come back - creating job security i guess :) Also they will work slowly because "whether they work or not, they will get their 2000zl" (sorry can't remember how that saying goes exactly).
Tough situation.
