At the company I work for we are currently negotiating with a large company in France, to colaborate on a huge 3 year multi billion dollar project.
We interact with design engineers, software engineers, the director of supply chain planning and the senior project manager.
What is amazing about this, is that, while they are all in Paris, not one of them is French, they are all indians and muslims from North Africa.

Count yourself lucky. Negotiating with the French will make you want to jump off a cliff.

@cjd I've done it several times over the last 17 years and worked with this company before, back where it actually employeed French people.
Negotations are my thing, the company I work for calls it "Phil Magic"
I completely enjoy it, the more it goes in circles the more I like it.

Haha, so you're practically French then
