Yes

You agree to meet him at the restaurant. You drive over and easily find parking. You walk up to the restaurant door just as your colleague, Steve does.

“Hey, long time no see, thanks for coming.” He greets you.

“Thanks for thinking of me,” you reply, “so, before the investors arrive, you want to go over the details with me?”

“Sure thing,” he replied. “The first, and more important thing is that this deal is a multi-million-dollar deal. This could land us a minimum of two hundred grand each. Every year.” His opening grabbed your complete attention. As he continued to flesh out the details, you realized that not only was this a lucrative endeavor, it also involves a number of transactions that you are an expert in. You start to realize why Steve contacted you.

As Steve winds down, a dark limousine pulls up to the curb. The driver, a stern looking Asian man in his forties hurried around to get the door. He stands back after opening the door.

As you and Steve watch, a gorgeous Asian woman perfectly made up in a black business suit gets out of the car. Next is an equally well dressed young Asian man, maybe a couple of years younger than your and effeminate looking. Lastly came a sturdily built Asian man well into his 50s dressed in a suit that likely cost more than the average car.

As the woman reaches the curb, Steve steps forward, offering his hand, clearly trying to look down her blouse and winking, “Haru Ito? I’m Steve Banyon and this is my associate.” She stares blankly at his hand.
