11. Read two dialogues between businessmen. What do think about them? What mistakes were made? What rules of business etiquette were broken by them?
Conversation 1
A: So, how is business?
B: Fine. This merger meant quite a lot of work for us, but, fine.
A: Well, mergers are often difficult. So, what do you think about the Middle-East situation?
B: I’m sorry?
A: The crisis in the Middle East. It was in the news this morning.
B: Er, well, I…
A: I mean, it must affect a company like yours - you are in oil.
B: No, I think, you’ve made a mistake. I’m not in oil. I work for BMW.
A: BMW? Oh, sorry! I thought you were someone else.
B: That’s ok. If you excuse me I must just go and say hello to someone.
Conversation 2
A: I like your watch. A Rolex, isn’t it?
B: Well, to be honest, but don’t tell anybody, it’s a fake.
A: No! It looks real to me. Where did you get it?
B: Egypt. It cost me twenty five dollars.
A: Amazing! So, do you know many people here?
B: No, not really. It’s the first time I’ve been to such a conference.
A: Me too. So, what is your hotel like?
B: Pretty comfortable. Nothing special, but it’s ok, I suppose.
A: You are at the Holiday Inn, aren’t you? Last year they held this conference in Mexico. The Hilton Cancun Fabulous Hotel, they say.
B: Cancun! A bit warmer than here, I think.
A: Yes, I went there on holiday once. A beautiful place! Can I get you anything from the buffet?
B: Oh, that’s all right. I’ll come with you. I’d like some more of that caviar before it all goes.
