Incepuse să-mi placă discuția și eram curios să văd până unde se va ajunge. Nu mai întâlnisem o astfel de „jemcherie”. Asta mi-a adus aminte de anii trecuți când românul nu avea bani și se ducea să schimbe o sută sau două de dolari iar „șmenăria” era în floare. Mă dusesem să schimb două sute de dolari la o casă de schimb valutar. La intrare un șmenar mi-a oferit pe o sută de dolari mai mulți bani decât oferea casa de schimb. Mi-a dat banii și i-am dat suta surprins de filatropia șmenarului. Am intrat în casa de schimb pentru cealaltă sută. N-apuc să schimb două vorbe cu caserița că apare șmenarul. „Vă dau înapoi suta de dolari și dați-mi înapoi leii că eu doream hârtii de cincizeci de dolari”, în timp ce foșnea neglijent, în mâna dreaptă, o bacnotă verde. Am spus neglijent pentru că am văzut că bacnota era de un dolar. L-am obligat să dea suta de dolari caseriței și dacă ea îmi confirmă ca este buna îi voi da leii înapoi. N-a avut ce face. Nici eu n-am avut ce face și …i-am raspuns:
Dear …..
If I understood well you want to invest some money into a business. This business can be profitable or not. The crisis we are witnessing in the world can lead to such consequences. I have a question for you. Do you assume the risk ? I do not think so. There are areas in Romania where you can invest money but there are risks. Think about this and return it with details. In what areas you want to invest ?
Sincerely
……
Convinsă ca m-a prins în „firul intins” mi-a răspuns mărindu-mi cota de la 30 la 40%.

Un altul mai slab de inger, citind acest mesaj, se și vedea pe un sezlong în „Maiami bici”, mâncând șaorma la restaurantul „managerului” dinamovist, ăla ce se tot pregătea de „cempions lig”, al carui nume mi-a scăpat prin tastatură că mai nou, el dă o tura pe la „mititici”. Asa că am așteptat legătura cu Mr……expertul financiar. Iat-o:

Parcă-l revedeam pe șmenarul din trecut cum foșnăia în mana dreaptă un dolar. Am răspuns
Dear…..
…bla, bla, bla…(ceva argumente) si am incheiat: It’s like we play in a movie with stupid peoples. This reminds me of the movie „An idiot in Paris”. Do You think that I will play in the new movie „An idiot in Rome” ?
S-a închis povestea. M-am uitat pe Linkedin. Fața islamicei, probabil zâmbitoare, ascunsă de văl, dispăruse.
