If this guy was born in the sixties he would have been a religious cult leader

This guy missed out. Could’ve stored a tonne of chocolate bars in Touker’s office space.

Laughed so hard at infinity foods brighton when Toukar wanted him to say Marks and Spencers.

That guys definitly doesn't need a plane to fly to peru...

[cvanicky]

I feel like poor Touker offers to invest in like 70% of the pitches but no one ever picks him. He's got free office space too in case you didn't know . 😉

Its good to see Floki in a new profession

That guy reminds me of our yoga teacher who spends too much time with my wife

Update on this company. He should've made the deal with Peter or Touker because the deal with Deborah fell through. Three years later (in 2018), the company stopped trading due to heavy losses. It then merged with another chocolate company, "Conscious Chocolate." It still trades/sells today as of May 2021.

he should've obviously picked Suleiman's offer: -10% extra but he gets the perfect expertise to make his business a super success.

The zoom into the visible pain in touker's face at 12:05-12:-07 is probably the best shot ever filmed in DD. Cameraman deserves an award

[Main]

0:00 - 0:10 - And on that basis, I'm out.

[ladulaser]

He reminds me too much of middle-aged "spiritual" guys in Rishikesh trying to get lucky with younger backpacker girls.

[thedunyadoneya]

8:43 - "bet you didn't expect this" "yes"
"You did expect this?" "Yes"
"Do you want an offer?" "Yes"
"I'm concerned" *nods*

[ronanmcveigh]

For anyone wondering he sells produce in:Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden, Australia, Canada and Netherlands

I would've taken Toukers offer, he by far seems the most enthusiastic and willing, giving great tips off the bat, and willing to spend time helping in growing the business. - Clearly that's why the "Raw Chocolate Company" was sold off. - Chose the wrong investor for the type of business he had.

[eliseanna]

Update, for anyone who is interested! The deal didn't go through because of disagreements. Later his company (he still owned 100%) was bought by another company due to faillissement. He still works for them.

Personally I would have gone for Touker. He wanted it and was passionate. Also he had a good vision
