WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“I appreciate the gesture, but accepting something this lavish puts undue pressure on me before we sign.”

Accepting significant gifts before closing a business deal creates a moral debt (renqing); expressing hesitation is mandatory to show integrity and avoid appearing opportunistic.
