The other day, a colleague in seconded to affiliated companies of Singapore (I think it was), came close to my seat, I chatted with him.
A man was coming , who seemed to be his subordinates, the local employees, and we were shaking hands, and did simple self-introduction to your each other.
The colleague also introduced me as follows.
"Mr Ebata is the most famous one person in my company"

Maybe, I don't think that it is compliment.
