Then wait, and be ready for mystery; one U.S. executive corresponded for years with a Chinese official who signed himself, Get Smart-style, as M 903. A breakthrough can come when least expected. An American businessman was sitting in a dentist's chair in Hong Kong having a tooth drilled, when a messenger rushed in with news that a Chinese official whom he had been trying to get an appointment with for weeks wanted to meet him in the street immediately. Once invited to Peking, rule No. 1 is never go alone. The Chinese will ask more, and more...
