> We still did business with him because you cant argue with the quality of goods he brought.

True but for a sec there my mind was arguing with lack of morals on your part. Since your whole post is somewhat American doing business with Chinese individual, I felt disgust how low some of us (like Obama bowing to Chinese President to almost clean the floor) will fell just to grab ONE MORE buck :(



Just of out of curiosity, are you American? There are slight grammatical errors in the post that don't seem to be that of a native English speaker's.


I agree very much. I'm a native English speaker as well and that post sounds very off and ungrammatical.


I know its off grammatically because I didn't know how to properly explain the facial expression he gave me. I have never seen it before. I was in shock. It looked like he wanted to kill me. Normally you can read someone by staring into their eyes, looking at their body language, and facial expressions.

The shift between the light conversation we had before and when he told me off it was done so casually and efficiently. There was NO change in body language. Only someone who is a complete psychopath or sociopath does this. Its as if he does this often to his factory workers.

But this wasn't the case when I visited his factory though.

A few months later he stopped by our warehouse. I took him around town. He didn't care about any of the cool things my city had to offer or its history. All he wanted to know was insider knowledge I had about the industry as a whole. Everything was strictly only about business only.

.....didn't realize grammatical comment was not at me but I expanded on it anyhow


I wish we could stick him in an fMRI machine and have his brain scanned at that very moment to see what areas of the brain lit up. More psychopath than sociopath?


lol...


Does he have to be a native speaker to be an American?
