My mistake; I'm getting ahead of myself. For some reason, I thought you meant you'd run into him and had a chat, when you said you saw where he was doing business. I did see in the journals that he was opening an apothecary, so I may put him in touch with Vienna right off the bat. Martin's been looking to expand his contracts beyond the Continent... But now I'm running twenty steps ahead of things. I'll let you know what he says.
Unfortunately, it'll need to be a "you need to actually be aware of etiquette and customs if you're going to work for an international company" lecture. It was the most basic thing, and yet. T forced a left-handed handshake, then proceeded to make the poor man even more uncomfortable by inquiring a bit too enthusiastically after his daughters (they're both at Oxford now). Oh, and got snippy when Mr D'Souza ordered whisky at lunch, because apparently he didn't read in the notes that Mr D is from Goa, and therefore Catholic. A visit to Mr D would probably go over better than a call. I've taken him on as my own until you get back tonight, figured out where the snarl with the trade committee is, and the notes will be on your desk.
I'll make up a folder while I wait for the paperwork.
On the good side, G did spectacularly on the conference call to Tokyo. They were very pleased with him.
