All fans of................Part 2
After discussing these items, I then asked Dave and Glenn questions from those that I received which weren't already addressed. I didn't get to ask every question that I'd like to, plus many questions transgressed what they could tell me as an individual which they would therefore have to tell all investors in the form of a news release. As I noted I made copies of the questions, so I gave both Dave and Glenn copies at the end of our meeting.
Before I go into more detail on several of the items we discussed, let me first record my impressions of Glenn. Glenn is the consummate marketing person. Forceful with his thoughts and confident in his presentation. Now I've been around a sales person or two. My sister is a high profile marketing type herself. Many times people selling something put the best spin on a product they are trying to sell. Though there is a distinct and notable difference when sales people believe wholeheartedly in the product that they are selling. In my honest opinion, I came away with the impression that Glenn wholeheartedly believes in both what PNL is trying to accomplish and PNL's ability to execute on PNL's business plan. At no time did Glenn equivocate. At no time did Glenn demonstrate any doubts. If Glenn was putting on an act, he deserves the Academy Award. Glenn also dropped a name or two..In the context of a conversation about the differences between the big investors, who do a lot of due diligence before making an investment, and all new small time investors that normally don't, Glenn noted that the Rockerfellers were his friends
"…Jean Pierre Collardeau has been involved in international trade for the last 30 years, specifically in matters of international banking, rules and regulations. In 1968 he was involved with transactions between Asia and Africa..10 yrs later he was the No 1 importer and distributor for Peugot in Nigeria and in 88 was the representative and negotiator of Fiat and worked directly with the Ministry of Works of various Governments of West African countries. For the last 10 yrs, from Paris, Geneva and London he has supervised commercial operations and foreign investments from Europe to Africa and has advised on government tenders and bids to major infrastructure projects funded by the World Bank.. He is also a member of many world wide trade associations. .According to Taylor, when he is not out of town, he comes to the office everyday and is proactive in running the company…..
David Walker came to PNLK from Unz & Co.., the leading provider of import/export publications, software, and training programs to the US international trade community, and was instrumental in the creation and development of many unique products and services for importers and exporters which was recognized in Commerce achievement awards. He has 20 years of experience in International Trade which include a strong technical background in development and installation of various network operating systems, including software and regulatory CD-Roms.. In my opinion, it is this background and knowledge of International Business and Commerce which will accelerate PNLK's success as an internet webtool to the ever increasing globalization of business and its success to streamline the complicated and intricate transactions that pervade the industry today….." (Excerpt's from field visit by Terri Acey)
The following conversation occurred in PNL's Conference Room..
GZ: "Don't really expect there to be any news until after the New Year. But when we release the name of the banking/finance partner who will provide financing for web site users, let's see how people react to that."
Dave Walker: (to GZ) "I think you may already let the cat out of the hat. Hope you haven't said anything that he wasn't suppose to know."
ztect: (to GZ) "Do you want me to make sure that I don't repeat anything regarding this banking/ financing partner news."
GZ: "Why? Everyone knows we have a banking/finance partner to provide financing for companies using our webtool. The only thing they don't know is who that is."
ztect: "Okay"
GZ: "But you do know, as I often have said, that if I told you more, I'd have to kill you." |
