The transformation! (12)

It is time to board the plane taking us half across the globe. My father is here in the seat next to mine. For the first time we are going on a business trip together. I take out my notes and look at the names of the companies that I am going to visit. It was hard work just to find them. The Swedish Business Council had lists and I found an export magazine where I got a couple of names. When I arrive in Hong Kong I will try to find the yellow pages. I must be able to find more suppliers that way.

The dinner on the plane is over and we take a whisky after the meal. Saying cheers - as equals this time. I can see that my father expects a lot from me. I have decided to take all the meetings alone, to show him that I am worthy of his support. My father has other meetings to attend. He has promised to show me around Hong Kong and I am so eager to see everything

The stewardess comes over to ask us if we want something else, but I close my eyes and drift away, dreaming about the trip I have waiting for me. Tomorrow I will take a step from being just a 22-year old man to be a true businessman. Hong Kong here I come!
