they might try to fleece my buisness partner, but then again not. they need him alot more than he needs them.
regarding corruption you find it everywhere on the planet incl the vestern countries, i dont mind it at all, as long as you get what you pay for. Then it is just another buisness expence and if you invest in something without knowing every aspect of the deal including who to bribe. then it is gambling and you should try lotto instead.
i consider bribes as natural a thing as a tip for good work done, as long as the work gets done at the speed that satysfies you then who cares. Now if people try to force you to bribe them, then bribe the boss instead and tell him about the bad service that almost made you go elsewhere. stand back and wacht the fleecing in person. it is a game, a game of greed but non the less a game.
