telebrands the number of companies I've
00:00:01
steamrolled they have had hundreds of
00:00:03
litigations the owner of telebrands had
00:00:06
never turned up in a court room and be
00:00:08
taken all the way through trial we were
00:00:10
the first people to ever take him all
00:00:12
the way through trial and I remember so
00:00:14
clearly when he came to our Hong Kong
00:00:15
office to try and settle with me and get
00:00:18
the rights to bunch of balloons and I
00:00:19
sat at the table and I told him on no
00:00:21
UNC terms were we going to be licensing
00:00:23
the product to him that he was gum and
00:00:25
that we would not be backing down and he
00:00:27
turned around to me and he said little
00:00:29
girl this is the stupidest decision
00:00:30
you'll ever make and I just looked at
00:00:32
him and I was like he got to the point
00:00:34
where he said to us that he wasn't going
00:00:36
to be paying the final some and so I
00:00:39
remember calling him up one day and I
00:00:40
said I know your wife I know your
00:00:42
children I know you I've had a private
00:00:44
investigator following you I know we're
00:00:46
your cashes I know where your money's
00:00:47
sitting I know where your reserves are I
00:00:49
suggest you pay us otherwise we'll be
00:00:51
opening up the can of worms and just
00:00:53
hung up the phone on them and we got
00:00:54
paid two days
00:00:56
later my God
