Although the relationship between the two managers seemed to go well in the beginning, it quickly turned around over their business dinner. It is in the Chinese culture to give a gift to their guest; the Chinese director politely offered to eat a turtle to the German manager to show his respect.

Both companies suffered from this failed deal, the German company endured the worst consequences.
