I was interrupted while making the the last post so ended it, but the point
is management is the problem and Li has to close the deal, etc.
Specifically, Li is the decision maker, the CEO, major holder and Chairman. Of a company with what......35 employees. But he is actually global, with disruptive and game changing technology and the maze, and money.
If you are looking for a whale, or have issues with a major potential client, put everybody (CFO, Engineers, IT whatever) on an airplane, train, van and go there with the decision maker on board, and answer all the questions and resolve issues on the spot.
With the decision maker at the table.
In this case only one person can do that. There is no-one else in the company we put money into.
That is what they should burn a few bucks on.
