The next day, however, we received a call from the Saudi party. They informed us that they were not willing to sign any contract with the German party and, if possible, we should try instead to team up with them.Mr. Habib commented on the phone: ‘I am sure that we can work with you, but Mr. Zankyl and Mr. Kirchdorferare people we do not trust! We get the feeling that they are trying to fleece us. They are trying to pretend they are doing us a big favour; they think they are lords, but Allah is there watching us all. There is no place for being crooked. We have tried to work with Westerners before and they always try to be difficult. The only solution I can see is that we contract with you: you run the project. We don’t care if you out source the technology and expertise from Brigitte Zankyl, but our only condition is that they do not become a partner in our business
