Three elements to recognize if it is an opportunity to succeed:

1) Can you understand the frustration expressed during the conversation to identify the possible causes of the frustration?

2) Can you identify if you can offer some help from your knowledge, experiences, and expertise?

3) Can you effectively communicate your expertise to be understood as possible helpful solutions?

05-11-2017 (2) Like Playing Basket Ball

If you are dealing with Chinese style business, you would fell like you are playing a basket ball, the net is that phone (or anything you own), but no matter how hard you try, what you own is not yours to claim.
What is that phone? That was how this style famous for. You got a visitor come to your house, eat on you and drink on you. The reason this person visiting you is to keep an eye on you and your family, since this person heard you may have some business association and this person want to be part of it.
Ever since you open your own house door, your phone is not yours to claim until this person filter callers, you have no chance to receive other visitors because they are hijacked by this person before having a chance to say hello to you. The phone and the door are two things you own but you have no access to no matter how hard you try. This visitor would report to your house daily from morning to late hours till this person is sure you have no business or this person already get the business from visiting you.
It is like playing a basket ball with this visitor till you got fed up with this. This style started in China in early 1980 times and gradually disappeared. The characteristic part about it is that you can not give shit to this visitor's any request. The only way to get access to your own phone, your own door and possibly your own business is to push this visitor out of your own door and shut the door right in front of this person. No other way but straight forward. That is how this style disappeared in China as a mainstream powerful. But a lot related to this style stayed.
Hard to believe I experienced this after 20 years it disappeared in China. For my scary experience, this visitor alike by-passed my door but went to my representatives'.  I am thinking really hard if something like this were my experiences in China as well.
