He will come. Like the bands in Wayne's World movie - "They will come...."

For me it was after about 5 days - and he pretty much jumped out on me. I went across the second part of the island - and I didn't even see him - literally a box popped up offering to sell me the lamp. I initially thought it was an error, as all I saw was this big negative number with lots of 0s - but then realised it said -30,000,000 (without the commas) - and realised it was talking about the lamp purchase.

So it will happen - but the key is to ensure you have enough money to pay the man when he comes. If need be, hold fire on completing the previous stage until you have the $30m banked. My preferred way of doing this is leaving the energy charging quest one zap short until I'm ready to proceed.
