Episode # 08 - Second abuse - Emails # 36 - 41 

Suddenly, the following date of having announced that he would take a long time minimum 14 days to respond and to analyze the situation, Mr. Ben Lee, the spokesman of Mr. Peter Chen, sends an email requesting a discount in the reclaimed honoraria, making a counteroffer of U$S 2.000,00 (two thousand dollars U.S.A.) for the birdcall of Mr. Etchegaray (that was of U$S 3.500) or offering the payment of U$S 3.500 (the entirety of that claimed) if Mr. Etchegaray added certain information that AIPTEK needed.

Amazingly, the information requested in complementary form by AIPTEK, it was the one that would be obtained of the implementation of the Step 1 of the Preliminary Business Plan risen by Mr.Etchegaray, and whose development cost had already been quoted in that document by the sum of U$S 12.000 (twelve thousand dollars).

However, it is important to highlight that this answer on the part of Mr. Ben Lee, constitutes the first absolute recognition that AIPTEK had wanted to swindle Mr. Etchegaray through Mr. Vincent Luo, as well as that AIPTEK needed the requested advice absolutely, and finally it configures a second swindle intent now, when trying to deceive Mr. Etchegaray again, offering U$S 1.500 additional for the information that AIPTEK already knew that it would cost U$S 2.000 (twelve thousand dollars U.S.A.) to obtain.

Mr. Etchegaray doesn't only reject the proposal, but rather he considers it a new intent of abuse on the part of AIPTEK and he makes to know it this way to Mr. Ben Lee in an extensive and well argued email.

Nevertheless that happened, and in a new intent to reach a friendly agreement and being based on the again reiterated interest from AIPTEK to obtain the advice for the development of market of Mr. Etchegaray, he offers a second opportunity to solve the problem, suggesting that it is taken ahead the execution of the proposed Preliminary Business, at least in their first stage, in way that AIPTEK doesn't have to invest money in repairing damage (U$S 3.500), but in market development (U$S 12.000).

RE: Please, confirm me if you have received mi email dated April 13rd, 2005

Content :

Answer and First offer of U$S 2000 against U$S 3500 claimed.

 Comments :

This is the first time in this whole history, where finally a high executive of AIPTEK (Taiwan) responds the birdcalls made by Mr. Etchegaray (ECA - Uruguay), and also recognizes the "unfair business practice" that AIPTEK has taken ahead in damage of Mr. Etchegaray (ECA - Uruguay).

Even here, begins to be perceived another common behavior to all high executives of AIPTEK that go involving in this matter.

Mr. Ben Lee (from AIPTEK), taking advantage of their privileged position (they already have the Preliminary Business Plan that ECA - Uruguay sent them,  without having paid a cent of dollar up to now) makes counteroffer that is smaller than the original amount claimed by Mr. Etchegaray; offering to pay that originally claimed only if they obtain more additional marketing information.

This situation configures practically, a fault confession for "unfair business practices from AIPTEK toward Mr. Etchegaray (ECA - Uruguay).


It is also clear and it is reiterated here, the interest and the necessity that AIPTEK had and it maintains, in getting marketing information and consultancy services to develop the market of Latin America.

Lastly, observe you that Mr. Ben Lee had announced however in his previous email that would delay up to 14 days in responding, however, practically one day later they were already sending the answer with a counteroffer.

This is without a doubt the best evidence that demonstrates an abusive behavior at corporate level, and it ratifies as valid the use of unfair business practice to achieve the objective.

Answer to your proposal dated April 19th, 2005

Content :

A complete and detailed rejection to the counteroffer sent by Mr. Ben Lee (AIPTEK - Taiwan). nevertheless, and as new sample of good will from Mr. Etchegaray (ECA - Uruguay), the initial concepts that they motivated the development of the Preliminary Business Plan are reiterated, and he offers other friendly alternatives to solve the problem, where the execution of the proposed works is included.

In these instances, Mr. Etchegaray (ECA - Uruguay) he still believed (in form something frank) that the whole situation had not been caused in intentional form by AIPTEK, but rather it was only a not well conversant one.

For that reason and thinking that Mr. Ben Lee (AIPTEK - Taiwan) had not been able to read the whole material and to understand the graveness of the matter, Mr. Etchegaray (ECA - Uruguay) insists on solving the topic in positive and constructive way.

Regrettably becoming of the events will settle down clearly and unfounded to any doubt, the reiterated abusive attitude from AIPTEK against Mr. Etchegaray (ECA - Uruguay).

Mr. Ben Lee, as previously Mr. Vincent Luo and Mr. Peter Chen, the AIPTEK's CEA, he neither never answered this first email.

It was neccesary a Second reiteration to obtain an answer from Mr. Ben Lee. This, has been a common behavior from High Executives from AIPTEK in this history.
