Yanqui business partner

This is another craigslist ad that I came across a while back. I've also copied and pasted the text below:

Looking for yanqui business partner (Buenos Aires)

Date: 2010-08-19, 1:29PM ART

Hi, I´d like to meet an american to start a business. I´m totally discriminating against argentines because they are lazy (and I know it because I´m argentine -not lazy though).
Anyway, if you think that this is the land of ooporunities but nobody is doing anything about it, e-mail me; I´d love to meet you
Cheers!
PS: Please, do not reply if your idea of business includes: drugs, hokers, and illegal things in general.

You are probably wondering how I have not entered into business with this guy. I really don't know, I've had many sleepless nights in regards to this missed opportunity.

Part of what I am doing for Democracia Global (DG) takes me into the Argentinian Congress a few days a week. Basically myself along with the two other girls Jesi and McKenzie from California go and try and get signatures from the "Diputados" for the UNPA Campaign. This is where it gets tricky: when I go into an office I try and avoid saying what the UNPA is because it is a mouth full and at first I couldn't even remember what the initials stood for let alone spit it out in Spanish. I turn red in the face very easily and the first 10 times I had to say, "el establecimiento de una Asamblea Parlementaria en las Naciones Unidas" I failed miserably. We work out of one of the Diputados office, Fernando Iglesias, who is a bigwig with DG. Anyway, it is just like the State House in Boston where I have spent many a day. The Diputados are never actually available, they are just not there, or are "in a meeting," or are "out in the region" 99% of the time, aka you never really see them and only talk to their staff who are "asesores"- aides (not to be confused with "ascensores"- elevators). So I basically visit the same offices over and over again and talk to the asesores to remind them to get it signed. which means I get to know them a bit.

This has led to my first business venture, which has not quite gotten off the ground yet. One of the chiefs of staff of a Diputado, his family, has a vineyard in Mendoza which is big time wine country. They are basically a small operation at this point, mostly within the region, only in a few restaurants but would love to expand. He has asked me to find contacts in the US who may be interested. They would send up some bottles for free to be tested out to see if they like the product and would be interested in purchasing it. This works out fairly well since the North End has more restaurants than people. So, I've contacted Costa's dad who owns two restaurants and is going to a wine tasting soon and will hopefully get some info from importers at the event. The only problem is Daniel, the wine guy here, has not gotten back to me since I emailed him to get some more information on the wine to send up to Costa's dad. Basically, I'm afraid that what the Argentine said in his craigslist post about fellow argentines might be true and this cool thing will be done before it had a chance to get going.

At the very least I am looking to get a free trip to Mendoza and some wine out of this..
