... I have to admit, this Post has become entertaining to read, especially to find out why this continues to burn.
So I'll add my log into the fire.
As a species we have certain speech mannerisms, especially in Asia where certain languages are wholly contextual whilst others have registers and the biggest meanings are usually implicit.
As such, what's interesting in the phone call is said mannerism.
The questions asked may seem like simple questions, but when you're an adult who's been doing business all your adult life, with all sorts of people from different cultures, you know that those aren't questions per se.
They're instructions, posed as questions to provide a level of deniability.
When those don't work, then one would try a more direct approach, as can be heard as the call progresses.
