Difficulty in dealing with an aspiring businessman

It is about getting better...

I have been dealing with an agent whom I wanted to be sourcing, buying agent, a retired agent sellling condos.   I got pissed off initially with his uncouth behavior and unusual deals.  ie that we visit the site first  before getting docs of property.  

Lately in response to his request, out of nowhetere , agents in the north mentioned about ecozones and solar farms  So I made up with him and brought him in my trip to the north to view the sites and meet the agents.

We saw the site and I showed him our project sites.   So that he might believe in me.  

All of a sudden in his reponse to the 4ph request, and solar farms, the agent and her lead agent, scheuled a trip to Manila to talk to me and the agent I was introducing  to them.

We met them at a coffee shop. And after the introduction I left, having done may job of having them meet.  

Later in the day I learned that the deal was botched.   The principal alleged to be bigtime tried to screen the property and make an offer over the phone.  A strange deal that is not expected of a big deal re terms of payment on the land (This couldl be negotiated)  He was turned down.  

It was so embarrassing to be introducted to a big time buyer that did not have money and did not know proert protocol in negotiating.   

Worse of all he texted that he has many contacts after all, hence a missed deal is not a loss to him.  It is bitter to see this kind of reaction if not outright ungrateful.
