corporate elephant

- So, what do we have? – asked Evgeny Viktorovich. – Svetlana Vladimirovna, what’s the agenda? During my vacation, I must have fallen far behind in my work?

— I can’t say that it’s really strong. You know the basics. Now everything is according to protocol, colleagues make short reports on the state of affairs, ask each other questions, I give instructions. Everything is as usual.

- Seriously? – the owner smiled broadly. – Shall we not discuss the main news?

- For what? – as if nothing had happened, the director shrugged. – Everything has already been discussed a long time ago, everyone is aware. Including you.

- What do you mean why? – Kurchatov raised his eyebrows. – No, maybe I don’t understand something, of course, but in the fifteen years of the company’s existence, I don’t remember that profits grew one and a half times in one month.

“That’s not what I wanted to say...” Svetlana Vladimirovna became a little embarrassed.

- And I am this! – the owner got up from his chair and began to walk along the long conference table. – Colleagues, successes must be celebrated! After all, this is colossal! You and I usually spend a lot of time on all sorts of nonsense at meetings, but here is such an event! The country must know its heroes!

— Evgeny Viktorovich. – the director said firmly. - There is no need for this. Yes, it was a success. Yes, we all did a good job. But this does not mean that you need to organize holidays, sing praises, make speeches and the like. If you like, there are corporate parties for this, or, in the end, the kitchen.

Kurchatov was a little taken aback by such pressure, stopped and looked intently at Svetlana Vladimirovna for several seconds. Then he smiled mysteriously, shrugged and returned to his seat.

- So, colleagues. – the director said sternly. – Who is taking the minutes today?

“It seems like...” Marina began.

- Can I? – Tatyana suddenly raised her hand.

She looked strange. My eyes are running around, there are red spots on my face, my hands are shaking. Svetlana Vladimirovna, however, just shrugged.

— Before starting the meeting, I would like to ask a question. Can? – Tatyana looked questioningly at the director.

- Certainly. – Svetlana Vladimirovna nodded.

“I was here, on duty, studying our situation regarding motivation, and I discovered an interesting point there. – Tatyana stammered. “We’ve never used it before, and that’s why many people probably don’t know about it.”

“Who even read it…” Sergei intervened. – Is this a long, boring piece of paper that you are given to read and sign when applying for a job?

- Well, yes. – Tatyana nodded. – And for you, Sergey, I would recommend keeping quiet.

- By the way. – the director entered. – One of the rules of meetings is that only one person speaks.

- What are you doing then? – Sergei was surprised.

- What am I doing?

-What are you saying?

“So, Sergei...” the director exhaled noisily. - As you can see, I...

- Not in the mood, I understand. – the development director smiled. - I'll shut up.

- Tatyana, please continue. – the director said with a slightly embarrassed smile. -What's wrong with the situation?

- Everything is so, except for one thing. There is a clause about bonuses for making and implementing proposals that increase significant company indicators. The wording there is very lengthy, but the size of the bonus is quite specific - ten percent of the increase in profit.

A noisy joint exhalation swept through the meeting room, synchronously performed by all participants in the meeting. All but two - the director and the owner - seemed not at all surprised.

- I don’t know about you, Tatyana, but I am aware of this point. – Svetlana Vladimirovna said sternly. – And it’s strange for me to hear that you, essentially the developer and owner of this process, saw it for the first time. And in general, this question...

- Yes, this is a serious mistake on my part. – Tatyana started babbling again, as if she was afraid that her word would be taken away from her. “But now, it seems to me, fate itself has forced me to go through old documents. After all, the occasion is the most suitable.

- Reason? – the director narrowed her eyes.

- Well, of course! After all, we got a colossal result this month! Moreover, precisely in terms of profit! Of course, I don’t understand much about financial indicators, but I still understand that the result is unique! And, most importantly, we all know exactly whose merit it is!

“So wait, isn’t it…” the owner began.

- Stop, colleagues! – Svetlana Vladimirovna raised her voice. “I think I made it clear that we will not discuss this issue?” I have a lot of work to do today, and I don’t intend to participate in singing praises!

- It's not about praises! – Tatyana almost screamed. – Such a result cannot be left without attention and encouragement! Well, judge for yourself - who else will engage in improvements, especially small ones, if huge, colossal, magnificent achievements remain unrewarded?

- Once again, Tatyana. – the director began to speak a little more slowly, as if she were talking to a child. “I’m not saying there won’t be a reward.” I say that I do not want to discuss this issue now, at this meeting. Is that clearer?

- No! – Tatyana even slightly stamped her foot. – It’s not clearer, Svetlana Vladimirovna! I know how it goes! Three nails, put on the brakes, then, then, and Sergei will not receive any reward!

A strange, slightly predatory smile ran across the owner’s face. The director began to lose her temper. The rest of the participants silently looked at each other, a little scared. The oppressive pause lasted several seconds.

- Sergey? – asked the owner.

- What? - he responded.

- No, I asked Tatyana. – Evgeniy Viktorovich continued. – Why Sergey?

- That is, how is it, why Sergei? – Tatyana flushed. – After all, it was he who came up with everything, implemented it and launched it, and achieved results!

- Wait, what exactly did he come up with, implement and launch? – the owner suddenly became attentive and focused.

“Well, to be honest, I didn’t understand everything from what he said...” Tatyana hesitated. – I’m a humanist, not a programmer.

- But you’re a manager, aren’t you?

- Well yes…

— Or did Sergei only use technical solutions?

- I don’t know, Evgeny Viktorovich! I only know that Sergei did everything!

- What did he do? – Marina unexpectedly entered into the dialogue. – Did you launch the SED?

- What? – Kurchatov turned his attention away from Tatyana, which she was very happy about and was finally able to sit down.

— Well, EDMS, an electronic document management system. The tasks began to be completed normally, and the profit increased.

“Well, Masyanya-bitch-whore...” Sergei muttered, sadly shaking his head.

- No, of course he’s great. – Marina nodded, not paying attention to the corporate clown. “But, it seems to me, we should all receive the prize.” After all, we completed our tasks. We raised discipline, we followed deadlines, we moved the company forward.

“And this is interesting...” the owner could not resist, jumped off the chair again and began to walk around. - Let's discuss it! Friends, I ask everyone to explain, or try to explain, what actually happened in the company this month, where did such a huge increase in profits come from! Sergei and Svetlana Vladimirovna will speak at the end. Do you agree? Otherwise I won’t give anyone a bonus! Marina, let's start with you, since you have already taken the floor.

Marina thought for a few seconds, looking at the table. It’s not every day that you have to give a speech on which a prize of several hundred thousand rubles depends.

- So. – she finally began. – As a quality director, I understand perfectly well what Sergei did. He took ready-made, configured, verified processes that the quality service created and automated their control. I would do it myself, but, unfortunately, I do not have the competence in automation. Moreover, I repeatedly asked, demanded, one might say, begged Sergei to automate the document flow so that the processes could be controlled. And now an interesting picture emerges - Sergei finally fulfilled my request, and suddenly the profit increased. I think that bypassing the quality service with a bonus would be completely wrong.

- Great! – the owner sincerely clapped his hands several times. - Well done, Marina! Who is next?

- You mean the next one? – Marina was indignant. – Everything is clear, and there is nothing more to discuss!

“Wait, we agreed...” the owner frowned. - Let's listen to everyone. At least those who want to speak out. Just five minutes ago, we knew nothing about the fact that Sergei simply launched an EDMS based on the processes drawn by you and your girls.

Marina pouted her lips offendedly, but did not object. She folded her hands on the table and began to thoughtfully examine her manicure.

- Who is next? Tatiana?

- I? – Tatyana jumped off the chair again and stood up straight. – To be honest, I don’t really understand what exactly Sergei did. I definitely did not participate in this; I was not given any tasks, although I also participate in the EDMS. Although, Sergei told me, tried to explain what exactly he did.

- Why did Sergei try to explain to you? – Kurchatov asked.

- Well... It seemed to me that he really wanted to tell someone the essence, principles, methods, or whatever he used there, but no one listened. And listening is part of my job. So I listened.

- And How? Does he feel better?

“Well, this is a medical secret...” Tatyana smiled embarrassedly.

- Of course it helped! – Sergey entered. – Tatyana played the role of a duck, or a catalyst for thinking. By the way, I highly recommend it.

- What do you recommend? – Kurchatov approached Sergei from behind and put his hands on his shoulders. - Duck or Tatiana?

- Both. – Sergei answered without being embarrassed. - Nobody knows how to listen. Not in our office, not in life. It's rare to find decent ears that won't stare at your phone while you pour your heart out into them. And it's free too.

- OK. – the owner nodded. – Tatyana, tell us what you managed to understand from Sergei’s words.

- Well, I remembered about some potatoes, an iceberg, something else... Not seeing evil... Ah, seeing money! Some kind of fundamental mistake, or something... Well, the theory of limitations, Sergei also applied it, but I know about that - I read the book. Look like that's it.

— How does all this relate to EDS?

“I don’t know this...” Tatyana began to blush again, as if she was taking an exam. – True... Maybe he automated all these potatoes and icebergs in the EDMS?

— He automated PROCESSES! – Marina pronounced the last word slowly, syllable by syllable. - And he invented potatoes, carrots, poop and drifting ice floes to show off his appearance. As always, however.

- Thank you Tatiana. – Kurchatov smiled mysteriously. – Who else wants to speak? Purchasing, maybe?

- Where is Vasya? – asked Svetlana Vladimirovna. – Why is the purchasing and logistics director not present at the meeting?

“He’s carrying out my instructions, I’m sorry...” the owner replied. -Who is for him?

“I am,” a young girl sitting at the very end of a long table raised her hand. – Valentina, purchasing manager.

- Great, Valya! – Kurchatov continued. – What, in your opinion, was the reason for such a significant increase in profits? Was the purchasing department involved in this process?

“Well, yes, Vasya explained to us...” the girl began hesitantly. “He said that it’s all about us.” It seems that Sergey tweaked our system a little, and we now see the sales amount for each order to the supplier. And the deadline for the procurement task to arrive to us seems to be.

“I don’t understand something...” the owner asked. - They gave you, it turns out, two columns, or fields, or whatever, and our profit doubled?

“Well, yes...” Valya pulled her head into her shoulders. – There’s something with priorities, it seems. As if before we simply saw what and how much we needed to buy, but now the program shows us, or whatever... Sorts it by the amount for which it will be sold. Like so. And we take these priorities into account in our work - first we order what will bring the most profit. Ah, I remembered! Some percentage of Wheeler also appeared there! We also take this into account in our work.

- Wheeler's percentage?

- Well, yes... I don’t know what it is, but Vasya said that the higher it is, the faster you need to buy it. And when the percentage is above 95, you have to go straight to your feet and even buy it on the market with your own money.

- Okay, maybe Sergei will explain later... Thank you, Valya! And, let me clarify, did I understand correctly - success was achieved thanks to your efforts?

- Well, not exactly... I don’t know, Evgeniy Viktorovich. It seems that the supply service in our company plays one of the leading roles. We have a lot of cooperation, and the equipment is complex, there are many parts in it. If you miss one, the shipment doesn’t happen. It turns out that a lot depends on us. I think Sergei’s merit here is that he automated it. But we did everything.

- Gorgeous! – the owner burst into applause again. - Great! Who else? Sales? What do you say, Vladimir Nikolaevich?

“What can I say...” Gorbunov responded, lounging imposingly on a chair. – The increase in profit is explained by one simple fact – sales have increased. The costs haven't changed, have they?

- As far as I know, no. – Kurchatov answered.

- Which is what needed to be proven. – the commercial director nodded confidently. – Sales are made by sellers. We, the entire commercial director service, have done a great job this month. You most likely won’t understand how difficult the life of a real manager is, so I won’t explain at length. We worked with clients, we identified needs, agreed to reschedule deadlines missed by other services. As a result of our work, we have received more orders than ever before. So, we will build on our success - this was not a one-time peak, the work will continue.

— That is, the result is your merit? – the owner smiled.

- Certainly. – Gorbunov did not smile in response. – This is so obvious that it’s not worth discussing. They should reward me... My service.

- Great. – this time Kurchatov did without applause. - Production? Nikolai Sergeevich?

“To be honest…” Pankratov began. – So you all say – sales, purchasing, some kind of processes... Friends, we work at a manufacturing enterprise. Production! We sell what we produce! We will produce and sell. If we don't produce, we won't sell. Is this clear to everyone?
The question was addressed to those gathered, but there was no reaction.

- You see... We collected a lot of equipment this month. Yes, supplies helped us. But, in all honesty, friends, you just did your job, right? Well, we probably made a couple of extra calls, pressed buttons faster than usual, and we collected the equipment. Heavy, iron, in oil and antifreeze, with your own hands. That equipment, which the gentlemen sellers then solemnly shipped by pressing a few buttons on the computer. So, sorry if I offended anyone, but the credit is almost entirely ours. 90 percent, no less. That's all I wanted to say.

“Hmm…” the owner, for some reason, stopped smiling. – We have some kind of funny club of anonymous profit increasers... Hello, my name is Kolya, I doubled the company’s profit.

“Well, my name really is Kolya, and it’s me...” Nikolai Sergeevich began.

- Damn, that's not what I meant! – Kurchatov came to his senses. - Nikolai Sergeevich, I just...

- Yes, I understood. – the production manager smiled condescendingly. – In such jokes it’s always either Kolya or Vasya.

“Well, okay...” the owner again walked along the table, looking back at the production manager several times along the way. – Svetlana Vladimirovna, I think you should give the floor?

“I would like...” the director began.

- I know, I know, we’ll discuss it another time, but I insist.

- Is this really necessary? – in Svetlana Vladimirovna’s gaze one could read a plea.

- Yes. The question was already serious, but now it’s just a bomb! It cannot be left like this! Well, in the end, the bonus of three million rubles that must be given warms my pocket a lot.

Svetlana Vladimirovna sighed heavily, collected her thoughts for a few seconds, and slowly looked around at all the participants. He fixed his gaze on Sergei, but he smiled back so innocently that the director became embarrassed, lowered her eyes and finally spoke.

— Colleagues, friends... You are all right. Every service this month has worked just fine. Everyone contributed to the common cause. Everyone worked for the overall result, in their place, in their department, with their team. And we got a brilliant result. But…

— Is everything said before the “but” real shit? – Sergei couldn’t resist, but no one reacted to the joke.

- But... Have you ever thought about the question WHY you worked like that this month? Marina, for example, says that the problem is the EDS. So we had SED. Only minor changes have been made to it - Sergey will correct me if I’m wrong. Actually, we have always had EDMS, like document flow in general. Right?

Marina nodded slowly, after a few moments of thought.

“Well...,” the director continued. – Further, Marina said that they began to perform tasks better. Same question - why?

“Because...” Marina began. – I don’t know... Well, that is, I specifically started because you, Svetlana Vladimirovna, began to remind me of them every day. Well, I, accordingly, then broadcast all this further.

- Valentina, what about you? Why did you suddenly start following the purchasing priorities that the program gives you? You never know, what are the percentages of Wheeler, Schmiller or anyone else derived by the programmer? Moreover, you do not understand their meaning. Previously, you ignored any modifications that you yourself did not order. What changed?

“Well, Vasya told us...” Valya was embarrassed.

- What else did Vasya say? Besides the fact that you have to do it this way and that way.

- He said that this work is under your personal control, and you do it every day... Whatever...

- I'm screwing up. Well, that’s what I told him – I’ll do it every day. Thanks to Sergey for replenishing my vocabulary.

- Well, yes, that’s how Vasya put it.

— About you, Vladimir Nikolaevich, I will not say anything at all. Open and look at any indicator in CRM - this month all you did was process incoming requests and organize shipment. All. Sales increased because there was something to sell. The incoming flow of orders increased because customers finally received what they ordered God knows when. You didn’t even go on business trips this month - you were shipping, there was no time.

“Svetlana Vladimirovna, of course, excuse me, but...” Gorbunov began.

— Shall we open and look at the CRM?

Gorbunov puffed up and fell silent. The rest of the meeting participants, for the most part, pretended that it was not about them at all. Except for Tatyana, who watched the development of the unusual situation with interest and slight fear.

- So, colleagues. – summed up the director. – I repeat: you are all great. But success was achieved, I apologize, through my own efforts. All I did all month was push, beg, remind, inspire, force, demand, fight in hysterics, press for pity, and sometimes I myself performed tasks for you. She worked like a galley slave. And all for the sake of one goal - so that you, colleagues, simply start performing your duties normally. Do you understand?

Svetlana Vladimirovna looked around at those gathered, but no one expressed understanding.

- You understand everything... Roughly speaking, you just broke even. It happens that a person works well and efficiently, but if he makes an effort, his performance will still increase. And you did a bad job. Very bad. Below zero. And I reached you to the surface of the earth, from below. Now, God willing, you will begin to sprout like a lawn. So the question about the bonus that you are actively sharing here is premature. This is what I said at the very beginning of the meeting. Evgeny Viktorovich, however, insisted - and I’m not sure that he does not regret his decision.

- In no case! – the owner almost screamed. – The conversation turned out great! You know, I remembered the parable about the elephant and the three blind men. Do you know?

Everyone knew the parable. But everyone also knew that it was better to say that they didn’t know when the owner wanted to tell something. So everyone shook their heads in unison.

- Yes, everything is just there. Three blind men were brought to the elephant, and they tried to determine by touch what it was. One felt the trunk and decided that it was a snake. Another felt his leg and decided that it was a tree. And the third, it seems, touched his ear and decided that it was a fan. No one recognized the elephant, but everyone was confident in their conclusion and was ready to defend their rightness. And so do you.
There was no point in arguing, so the silence was not broken.

- Although, the motive is clear - three million rubles. Anyone, including me, would be happy to receive such an award. What a joy! For some of you, this is two years' income! Even if we decide to divide this money among everyone, we will get a very decent amount, for the sake of which we can, excuse me, lie about our merits. However, colleagues, I want to see the elephant.

“Evgeny Viktorovich, since this conversation has already started...” the director entered. – And you have already interviewed everyone, you need a verdict. Who will get the prize?

- Who cares?

- So how…

- Oh yes, I put it wrong... What difference does it make to me who gets the prize? I will still give these three million. The only thing that worries me... I am, excuse me, a businessman. I don't spend money just like that. I'm making investments.

- In terms of? – the director was amazed. – Do you want to invest this money somewhere? Open a joint business with one of us?

- What? No... Although, the idea is interesting. No, Svetlana Vladimirovna, that’s not what I’m talking about. I look further ahead. An increase in monthly profit by 30 million rubles is, of course, an excellent result. But I have a suspicion that this is not all that an elephant is capable of. And my investment is not a payment for the achieved result. This is a ticket to the next show. To see the next elephant. Is that clearer?

“They took it off my tongue, damn it...” muttered Sergei.

- What, Sergei?

- Yes, I wanted to say about the same thing, but now it’s too late.

- Well, tell me so.

- No, I will not.

“It’s starting...” Marina tsked angrily and turned to the side.

- Sergey, let’s go without kindergarten. – the owner said sternly.

- Yes, you guys, I apologize, are dumb as traffic jams. Well, no offense. You don’t see beyond your nose, you share some pathetic bonus. Well, it’s a no brainer that the best you can count on is three hundred per snout. Which one of you will they save? Well, maybe Valya, then she’ll only get a chocolate bar from Vasya. But you don’t see the elephant. The elephant is the main thing, the elephant! I don't really need this money, to be honest. Not a piece, not the whole thing. Do you know why?

- Because you're a stupid idiot? – Marina grinned.

- No, because an elephant costs many times more! Well, think for yourself... None of you even came close to understanding how or why this happened. You just saw some small changes. Exactly those that have reached you. And only those that somehow fit into your picture of the world. Marinka, if she knows the processes, has seen the processes. If the suppliers were used to working with the deficit table, then they saw it, only sorted. Well, with Wheeler's percentage too.

— By the way, who is Wheeler? - Kurchatov intervened. - I'm sorry, it's really interesting.

“I have no idea...” Sergei shrugged. – In the movie “A Beautiful Mind,” that was the name of the laboratory where John Nash went to work. It was necessary to name the column in the table somehow, so that it would be short and succinct, so I named it.

- Is it like brilliant beauty?

- Yes, like brilliant beauty. Without a name it is difficult to navigate. But we digress. You, friends, didn’t understand a damn thing why success happened. What's important: you won't understand. For two reasons. First, you won’t even try, three hundred fels is more important to you. Secondly, you won’t understand shit, because you’re not interested. What is the most important thing here that you don’t see, don’t understand and will never get? Who can guess?

- Guess your own crap. – Marina did not let up. – If you don’t want a bonus, that’s your business. And I have a mortgage. Give me your share then, since you are so smart here.

- Marina, let's be more constructive. - the owner intervened. – Sergey, please, no riddles. What do you think is the most important thing here?

- Playback. Skill. Competence. It's all simple. There is a certain elephant - it doesn’t matter whether it’s a person, a technique, an approach or a philosophy - which brought an additional 30 lyams of profit. This means that this elephant can bring additional profit. It is possible that it will be able to bring more profit. Well, you understand - not the same 30 lyams, but also, on top, let’s say, 20, or 50. Or the same 30, but in a different business. Such a good, correct elephant. How much do you think it's worth?

— It’s difficult to answer, but the question isn’t about a specific number, is it? – Kurchatov answered. – Do you mean that an elephant costs more than 30 million?

- Yes.

- Well, that's obvious. – the owner nodded.

- It's obvious to you. That’s why you are ready to invest three million in this elephant. You understand that the payoff can be colossal. And you don’t really lose anything - you simply reinvest the profit received from the elephant. But my colleagues, alas, don’t understand this. At all. They are only interested in three hundred square meters.

- Sergey. – Kurchatov said softly. – I understand what you are talking about. But let's make it a little simpler, okay? Everyone sets their own priorities in life. Do you remember about the tit and the stork? And it’s not for you to decide whether this is good or bad.

- So I wasn’t going to decide. Just because there was such a conversation - which, by the way, I did not initiate. I haven’t discussed this topic with anyone except Tatyana. And I didn't intend to. I discussed the first, but I won’t discuss the second.

- In terms of? Where is the first elephant?

— Remember the warehouse project?

- Yes of course. It was a great project.

- Do you understand how it works? Why did it all work out?

- Yes, you just scribbled barcodes on pieces of paper, automated their scanning, and that’s how it worked. – Marina intervened again. – It’s clear as day.

“Damn, Marina, you’re touching... I won’t say which organ of the elephant you just touched.” That's not the point at all. You saw only what you were able to understand. Barcodes, so barcodes.

- What was the matter? – Kurchatov asked.

- I told you. You just didn't remember. Although, it seems, they understood then.

“Well, tell me about this second elephant, I’ll understand again.” I promise to be more attentive. And tell me about the first one again, now I’m very interested in looking at it in a new way, seeing the connections, the basis, the concepts.

- Now, of course, you are interested. – Sergei shrugged. “But I’m just not interested anymore.” Let there be a mystery. When I spoke, they did not listen to me. And even if they listened, what would be the point? You are not programmers.

— Again, you’re talking about programmers...

- Well, yes. So you don’t understand the essence of the profession, so you don’t see elephants, you don’t know how to create them and, most importantly, reproduce them. Programmer - what does he do? You are, so to speak, people of action. Your goal is the result. More precisely, it’s not like that: your goal is only the result. And my goal, as a programmer, is a tool that produces results. A tool that can be reused. A tool that can be embedded into other tools. Elephant, in short. Which can pile up a big pile of... Profit. And you, business people, are only interested in this pile.

- But you don't have an elephant. – continued Sergei. - And there’s a lot to be piled up. So you, I beg your pardon, take off your pants, sit down and try to pile this pile yourself. You hire employees, and more of them, inflate the staff of your departments so that everyone can sit together, together, shoulder to shoulder, and produce results. Add here all these beautiful phrases about how you don’t have time to sharpen your saw, you have to cut down the forest. Here is the result. I have an elephant. You have the pile that my elephant piled up. You are now trying to divide this pile. I'm not interested in this bunch at all. I'm interested in the next bishop. Elephant fork.

- What? Fork? – asked the owner. - Fork?

- Well, yes. This is the name given to a copy of the program associated with the source. Created for modification to new conditions. Can influence the source - if he allows it. This elephant of ours for 30 lyams is a fork of the elephant that brought order to the warehouse. But no one knows about this except me. That is, roughly speaking, I am already implementing my strategy. I already know how to create elephants and, moreover, inherit their properties and methods. And here you are, a bunch. Enjoy. Share.

Suddenly the door opened and Vasya burst in.

- Friends, I'm sorry. – he said loudly, making his way along the chairs. - It was an urgent matter!
He reached Svetlana Vladimirovna, put something in her hand, muttered something barely audible in her ear and sat down on an empty chair. The director picked up her bag from the floor and put her hand in it, but apparently something went wrong, because the disgusting howl of a car alarm siren was heard from the street.

Svetlana Vladimirovna suddenly began to blush, frantically rummaged in her bag, took out the car key, began poking all the buttons in a row, but the howling did not stop. Marina was the first to break down - she stood up, went to the window and stared at the source of the noise.

- Cool. - she said. – Brand new GLC without numbers. Little red. Yours, perhaps, Svetlana Vladimirovna? I like. Dear only, more than three million, I recently watched. Eh...
