Winning is everything????

"Oye Veeru" Jay Mehra yelled thru the intercom... "Takle ne bulaya hai..Jaldi aa jaa"
"Thik hai tum jaanaa, main piche aataa" Veeru mumbled in his broken hindi...

Veerabhadra Mudaliar had been working with Royal Valves for almost 10years in their Madurai office and yet, he could not grasp hindi at all.. He always ended up putting in bits and pieces together.

Back in their boss Anand Takloo Gupta's cabin, both Veeru and Jay presented their ideas to him on a deal which both were working to grab .
"Jay...tera idea achha hai Satyam pumps ke liye. ye client ko tu hi deal kar aage se" Anand exclaimed...
"But Anand, Ye idea nahi kaam karna Madurai mein. Main tamil log ko achhe se jaantaa" exclaimed Veeru.

"NO VEERABHADRA, u will not interfere in this project anymore..IS THAT CLEAR???" Takloo exclaimed in a rather high pitch. "Ok Anand" Veeru tamely sighed and left the cabin..

Veeru was Very Upset. Being the top most performer year after year and getting all biggies as clients into this company, he thought he shud have got the 1st preference.
"Bloody Northy Donkey" he mumbled under his breath while Jay came up to him to talk...

"Takle ke saamne bhadaktaa kyu hai tu.. thik hai ek hi toh client gaya..tere inne saare aur bhi toh hain.. chill maar oye" Jay said and went into his own cabin.

He immediately called up his best friend, his dad..
"Appa... help" he exclaimed and narrated the whole incident..
His dad exclaimed "Dont worry kanna, God is great". And he hung up.

Jay had informed Anand that the client had asked for a month's time to get back on the deal, since the deal value ran into crores...

After a month, Jay called the accountant of Satyam Pumps, but his landline was not working anymore...
Feeling something amiss, He immediately reported it to Anand..

Anand fortunately had the owner's mobile number, just in case if a call was to be made...
He called him up immediately..
"Hello Satyam Ramamurthy sir, How r u doing. This side Anand Gupta from Royal valves. What happened Sir, we were supposed to close the deal"

"Gupta, which world are you living in...
I sold my company 10days back and now I am a independent director in it...
Seriously, try to keep a closer tab on ur clients" Exclaimed Satyam.

"Ohhh!!!!! Is tht so.. I was not aware of this development" sighed Anand. Sweat had started forming on his forehead due to the News which he heard later...
He realised there was a bigger game being played out there.

He immediately hung up, and summoned both Jay and Veeru immediately...

"Jay, I am taking you out of the Pumps deal. They specifically want a Tamil speaking person only to deal with them".
"So Veeru kal se tum handle kar lena unko"

"Lekin boss what happened suddenly with Satyam Pumps. Till last month they were ok with me handling them." Jay exclaimed

BECAUSE IT WAS SATYAM PUMPS TILL LAST WEEK.
Its now MUDALIAR PUMPS and they specifically want Veerabhadra to handle their account....

Jay realised what had just happened and left the cabin quietly and was walking towards his,  when Veeru smirked at him and said "I ALWAYS WIN BUDDY...Veerabhadra Mudaliar ALWAYS HAS THE LAST LAUGH"

Building strong relationship is everything. Being a farmer in cultivating realtionship is a winning strategy than a hunter.
Lord Vishu has two vahanas... One Gaurda and other serpant.. He uses both " Garuda" for Birds eye view of a( long time goal) business and Serpant, short time gain... Garuda looks from above and serpant from ground... Cheers!!! Well written ...
