Final deal was a troublesome one. When i freaking tell u that is the best price, u jolly well either take it or leave it.
India Indians are seriously freaking difficult to do business with. They die die wanna take everything from you, like trying to rob a bank verbally.
Anyway, i toyed around with him as i know he will definitely buy from me (as he came back for bout 3 times.) haha!
A man acting like a bitch, ask discount, ask free thumbdrive, ask free webcam. Dilly dally want buy dont want buy.
He was like "Toshiba give me 250 GB hardisk, but HP only 160GB?"
I got rather impatient, but yet acting i was like joking "Then u go buy Toshiba lor if you think they are good! Hp Business Laptops talks about quality, reliability and durability, this is the best deal you can find, $1069 including GST, take it or leave. He was like "But no webcam? My wife loves webcam you know? Toshiba have webcam!"
I seriosuly got no idea why are they making such a big fuss over webcams, making it sounds like asif the laptop got no keyboard like that. So i told him that it's not the end of the day, he can still get a USB webcam. To my surprise, he was like "Oh really?!". Immediately, i regretted telling him that. You know what, now, he's asking me to free him a USB Webcam, in which i've borrowed from the Microsoft booth. I was like " how to give you?! This one not our one also." "can la can la" he said.
That part right, really shows me how cheap they can be. I doubt Russel Peters when he claims that the Indians and Chinese are the cheapest race in the world( as in India Indians and China Chinese). Yesterday, I've seen with my own eyes how extream they can be.
So back to the webcam. He was pestering me to give the USB webcam to him for free. So i list an example to him. I pointed at the Sony booth and said "Do you think i, HP, can tell Sony to give a laptop bag for free?" Suddenly, he lost his words.
Anyway, he bought the laptop in the end.
Above are all the truth, No intention of racism was intended***
