I guarantee that several times a week at least one of those “meetings” is a €500/plate lunch that lasts 3 hours and involves maybe 5 minutes of business talk.

Yes, that’s sometimes necessary. The other person at the dinner has a lot of power, is well connected, of has sometime the company wants or needs.

So you make them feel good and talk friendly, make them feel important and smart. That builds the trust to decide to get into a multi million dollar contract.

The real business bonding happens when you do cocaine and spitroast an escort together.
