Dismantled telephone central office and sold platinum. The relay contacts of the crossbar (before digital age) switches contained a tiny amount of platinum.

He sold it as scrap. A German, the buyer, found HK buyer to do the platinum extraction works.

Who told me that is the Portuguese owner of the subcontracting company doing the work here.

He's got 27 companies at 70 he still wants to e in the field working rather than spending time with his grand kids
and spending his money.

A milionaire stil doing what brought him wealth: working. Below a photo of him

His sons and daughters have Ferraris and Porches and take care of his empire.

Great guy to talk to. If all Portuguese were like him they would not be in trouble.
