Not easy to bargain with the Chinese

One day, a Chinese Malaysian trader was bargaining with a Chinese trader in China, to buy some shoes. The price for sale was equivalent to Rm10 a pair of shoes. The Malaysian bargained it down to Rm5 a pair, and he ordered 1000 pairs to be sent over. Upon receipt of the goods, the Malaysian discovered that all the shoes were single instead of pairs, eg. all shoes were for the left leg! The Malaysian had no choice but to order similar quantity of shoes for the right leg to make pairs of them so that they could be sold. Don't play play with the Chinese in China!
