Spending more money can make things happen faster. The Hummingbird 206 helicopter that Suming had chosen to purchase, a small imported aircraft, could normally be obtained within half a year if all the proper procedures were followed—that's already considered fast. At the suggestion of Zhao Yun, he found a domestic purchasing company to handle the matter. He paid a service fee, plus an additional rush fee. What would have taken half a year was now accomplished in just one month.
This is just like buying a car. For many popular models, if you don't pay extra for immediate delivery, the salesperson will tell you how hot the car is selling, how tight the inventory is, and that you'll need to wait in line for three months or even half a year. But if you are willing to pay an extra twenty thousand yuan, then bam, come pick up your car next week.
