"Please don't let my physical transformation scares you off. My understanding is that you are here for this important negotiation. In the interest of time, we should get started now. Do you two agree?" proposed the unscrupulous Mr. Wang.
"You are right Mr. Wang, we should get going on this. If you don't mind, I would like Buzzwordy to be the primary negotiator and I will support him whenever needed." replied Bif.
"No issue Mr. Bif, so lets review our latest proposal together!" said Mr. Wang while gesturing to one of his assistants to get the overhead projector ready.
"Excuse me Mr. Wang, I don't mean being a pest at this meeting. Could you or someone explain to me why were there so many emails between us with Madame Fei's name on them? Based on my quick analysis, your physical transformation date doesn't correlate with some of the dates in the emails!" interrogated Buzzwordy.
"What do you mean Mr. Buzzwordy?" asked the unpleasant Mr. Wang.
Bif gave Buzzwordy a dirty look and shook his head. It was obvious that he didn't want to start a battle with Dominance Technology in their backyard. By the look on Buzzwordy's face, he was concerned that this marketing whiz kid would refuse to drop his interrogation.
"Mr. Wang, I'm very sorry if my question has offended you. Please accept my apology. Why don't we just focus on our negotiation?" suggested Mr. Buzzwordy.
"Gentlemen, Let me make myself clear. If you continue to bring up Madame Fei in our meeting, I will end our negotiation immediately. Is my message clear?" demanded Mr. Wang.
"Agreed!" nodded Bif and Buzzwordy in unison.
The projector was ready and Mr. Wang started to pinpoint some of the key topics for negotiation. The list was emphatically long and many of the issues were sticky ones. Both Bif and Buzzwordy were busy jotting down their concerns while Mr. Wang continued to bring up more and more topics.
"Mr. Wang, since we only have one day in Shenzhen, I'm afraid that we may not be able to complete our negotiation in time!" expressed the concerned Bif.
"Mr. Bif, please don't worry. I have already requested my team to come up with the answers for all the topics. If you and Mr. Buzzwordy find them acceptable, all you have to do is to agree to our answers and we can make this meeting go very quickly. By the way, I have planned a dinner reception for the two of you" proposed Mr. Wang.
Buzzwordy knew that Mr. Wang was setting up a trap for the two of them. He was going to use time on his side to force Bif to agree to all the terms and then take both of them out to dinner to celebrate his personal triumph. The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He peeked across the table and saw Bif in full perspiration mode, just a terrible way to show his true color to Mr. Wang.
"Well gentlemen, what do you think?" asked the cunning Mr. Wang.
Bif was confused and nervous, and he kept rubbing his eyes while staring at all the topics on the screen. Buzzwordy saw Mr. Wang grinning and part of his face was twitching uncontrollably. He told himself that unless he came up with something quick, Bif would lose his shirt in this negotiation.
"Well gentlemen, time is running out, especially for the two of you. What do you want to do?" pressured Mr. Wang.
Without a sign of warning, Buzzwordy stood up and signaled Bif to get up as well. His action took Mr. Wang and his team by surprise.
"Mr. Wang, I feel light headed all of a sudden. If you don't mind, I would like to return to the hotel and rest. I'm very sorry to cause you and your team this inconvenience." said Buzzwordy apologetically.
"What? You're not sick or are you really ill?" questioned Mr. Wang skeptically.
The negotiation will continue on Day Forty Three.
