Due to the escalation of the situation a successful collaboration is no longer possible. Mr. Böge doesn't want to work for this client anymore and asks his supervisor for a transfer. In his opinion all Chinese are helpless slobs who are not looking for consultants but for slaves that are stupid or desperate enough to join their chaos.
