Frightened Bunnies

That is what North African businessmen remind me of.

Frightened bunnies.

Trying to put together a deal involving North American parties, UK party and some North Africans.

I get a message today, everything looks attractive, but couldn't I find a French partner instead?

What the bloody fuck?

The frightened little creatures have been talking bravely of how they need to expand horizons, prospect new business relationships - nod knowingly when I discuss how one finds Chinese (not PRC necessarily) businessmen and Indians everywhere, prospecting.

But when it comes to trying to get some real concrete business done, they run howling off to Mother France.

Pitiful.

Heh. You're with the wrong businessmen. I know a few who'd be happy to do business with anglos.

I hope you cement the deal. A lot of people are probably waiting for that one.
