large yacht's engines were stopped. At the sides of the same was only Tues For hours they had left to see land. On deck there were only two people in a tent on the bow of the boat.
Standing with his hands in his pockets was George Walker, the great George - so nicknamed - was director and president of a large company.
Sitting in a recliner, his partner, Don Alejandro - might be better to say Don Alessandro - head of an important family of La Cosa Nostra in the United States, perhaps the most important at the time, which made him "Capi di tutti capi. " Hundreds of businesses under its supervision, legal and illegal.
- I do not understand too is education today - Don Alessandro said, looking at his interlocutor -. How can they not inculcate moral values \u200b\u200bto our children?.
- why parents may disregard our obligations.
- Or maybe you lack yourself why those values \u200b\u200b- Don Alessandro said. Remember that this meeting would not have been necessary if you had done what your company negotiated with my father, rest in peace.
- The world has changed, Don. It is no longer in force an agreement for thirty years, was not even put in writing and signed.
- My father shook hands with the president of your company. For us this is a gentleman's agreement - said Don Alessandro -. None required signature to be valid.
The great George looked shocked at his questioner.
- I do not think - said, raising his voice - someone like you be the one to give me moral lessons. You extort, kill corrupt politicians ...
- And you do something similar. The difference is that we care about our staff, our suppliers and even customers, except in cases of treason. I remember when my father proposed the agreement you have now broken, I advised my father not to take him out. By then I was just that "sottocapo" and could not impose my opinion. But there were things in your company that I liked. As an example the lack of coherence between your speeches saying the company's greatest asset is your staff and depreciated with which you treat your employees seemed indecent. What can I say!. Our companies have never had to do internal campaigns know why our staff has always been the great value to us. We have always demonstrated. And we know that if necessary, our employees will do as they ask, however hard. And if any employee has a problem, know that I will never deny my help.
- This is based on fear.
- In part it is possible. But they also know that my words and theirs is binding. These are agreements we can not break. Even when we were wrong to set them, follow them until the end for not breaking our word. Word, of course, that rarely is written and signed. We rely on trust because we know that an agreement must benefit both parties and do our best to make it happen. Our employees, customers and suppliers are friends, and if someone is afraid of the consequences of breaking an agreement. To you everyone is hostile. Utilizais people as they are needed and then you leave lying. What confidence can generate your attitude?. If you act in this manner your employees, what you will do to sell a product?. I dare not to think about what your customers are buying - pressed a button on the mobile on the table.
From the bowels of the ship that left two men got on either side of the great George.
- I think it has dried. Please do the honors this man.
Putting the hand under your arms up in the air, leading to the bridge that was on the keel. Once up there, found that the large block of cement had dried completely, trapping his feet and without thinking twice, pushed him off the catwalk.
The great George was lost at sea by a small splash in contrast to the loud noise of his last years at the helm of the company.
- Funny - thought Don Alessandro -. If the cemetery is full of heroes, the sea is as traitors. At least on this side of the coast.
