      If you have to keep telling everyone how amazing you are, it's probably because you're not.
      If you're really good, you really don't have to tell anyone. Everyone will just know.

    Touker didnt want in but felt a little on the spot, he thought by raising the percentage they would walk away. But allas they accepted! Lol his face when they said thats the best deal they could of received...his face," I know." 😅

  • @NotInAsia
    @NotInAsia 2 місяці тому +29

    I actually think that guy was astute to just instantly take the offer. If they were willing to go up to that figure, there is no point beating around the bush. The reason is the deal has to be beneficial and attractive for both parties, and he wants Touker to be motivated. Also a lot of deals struck on the den actually end up not going through when it comes to the due diligence process if either side feels it's unworkable or won't be beneficial. So really if they are happy with him taking 40%, and it seems to be obvious that they were and had clearly spoken about it prior to the show, then there is really no point negotiating, it is better to just get the ball rolling.

    • @originalunoriginal4055

      So are you saying that, they made a wrong decision? Or that they didn't think through about how taking the investment would impact their business, and what the effects would be in the future?
      Should they have declined the offer, or negotiated much more better and with much more finese.
