2nd Day - "legally" plunder...

One of my teammates and I almost got into a fight whether the lodging companies in Laos are doing a good thing for the village.

First of all, my rationale is, they are just a commercial enterprise and they don't care about the people there.

After learning about their contract terms, in a nutshell...they are "legally" plundering the whole village because they took everything from this poor village - labour (village workers) and woods (natural resource).

Yes, I know they are talking about 40% and 60% profit sharing but how much do these villagers know about profit sharing...at the end, the P&L sheet will show right at the year end, this "new registered company" only made US100 after deducting all expenses from the top management. The whole village will share this bonus like US60 and when they look around the village, every tree is chopped out.

I cannot believe this! What an unfair game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But what should we do, as a marketplace christian who is trained in a business world?
