Tuesday, 15-04-1997
I hope the festive celebration will
be a joint meeting with Instituto
Cervantes England and Wales at the Spanish Embassy in London
in order to discuss joint future plans called Cervantes Project. Scorpio:
'If someone yesterday unexpectedly made an appeal to your hospitality
today you have to deal with the consecuences. By organizing better
your government you will be less vulnerable. Pay bill properly
and hide credit cards. Last Sunday a lady in de Holy Land Foundation did
an appeal to me to help her with the translation from English
into Spanish of a part of a wedding ceremony between her son and
his partner from the Dominican Republic on the 9th of May. Yesterday
evening she called that it would not be necessary however. The
Dominican family wants to do that themselves of course. About
the organization of my government I will refer to the Government Game of
the announcement in NRC last Friday and the remark of the paying
of the bill reminds me that this week I received the amount of
Dfl. 309,50 from Het Stadhouderlijk
Hof. I will translate the text of De inschrijvingen voor het Government Game starten
weer: 'The
enrollments for the Government
Game start again. During the Government Game 1997 you can decide what you would do when you would
have the power. And you will see the consecuences directly! The
Government Game starts this year already for the fourth time. This
simulation game offers you the ultimate chance to test your governmental
and management qualities on the superior level. Preceding the
competition you will form a cabinet with three persons and you
divide four ministers posts. Consequently you will be confronted
in four rounds (every round represents a cabinet's year) with
taking governmental decisions. Your decisions will be checked
by the Government Game
Coalition Agreement, which is a reflection
of the actual Purple coalition agreement. The cabinet that approaches
the objectives of the coalition agreement the most close and has
produced the highest civil satisfaction, receives the title of
honour Best Shadow Cabinet
1997. To this title an attractive first
prize is connected. The Government
Game 1997 is not only pleasant and exciting;
it gives you an excellent insight in how political decisions come
about. Do you want to know more about the Government Game 1997,
then take up contact with Jeffrey
Rijkhoff, etc.' Last night I sent him a fax with the message.
'With great pleasure I could observe myself
in your announcement 'De inschrijvingen voor het Government Game
starten weer' in the NRC of last Friday on page 40. I consider
it an extremely pleasant and creative invention to put me back
on the functionning level that I had to leave some years ago as
the consecuence of too strong resistance from the outside and
too little support from our society. It is right indeed that you
portrayed me as leader
of purple.
Purple is the home colour of the Instituto Cervantes Benelux, for which I meanwhile obtained the definitive trade rights and the purple of the heather matches very well with my name. My plans have to be realized within a very short time and I can use a good shadow cabinet very well. Perhaps it makes sense when I participate in your Government Game. Therefore I like to form with great pleasure a shadow cabinet with three persons in order to give shape to the policy of the Instituto Cervantes Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, England and Wales. I am also interested in the attractive first prize.
I should like to receive the dates about the candidates for my three ministers posts. Perhaps they will form the basis of a new European Government.' I called Mr Rijkhoff. It seems to me very interesting. He send me the information. So I can study it in England. I think I might prefer a place in the board of recommendation, because they used my image already and you know how I think about unauthorized using of photographs. I consider this action however as a friendly gesture to release me from my actual cage. I also took a new decision to divide better my energy. From now on I will go jogging and walking every morning after breakfast. In London I will do it in Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens around the Serpentine from 10.30 till 12 a clock. Everyday I will take a break at Peter Pan of course. Except the 22nd. Then I have to see the Changing of the Guard at BUCKINGHAM PALACE. I hope that evening there will also be a concert of the Fifth Symphony of Beethoven. I also intend to visit the Serpentine Gallery. Had a nice walk. Helicopter survey as usual. I received the message that the Eurostar has been booked for Thursday. The adress of Hotel Manor Court is 33-35, Courtfield Gardens, SW5 London.
I produced five actualized Business Plans for:
1. You
2. The office in 1 Serjeants' Inn, Fleet Street, London EC4Y 1LL
3. The head of the Spanish department of ETON
COLLEGE
4. The general manager of Henley Management College
5. The Lord Mayor of Stratford-upon-Avon
The most important change in my plan concerns the financial paragraph and a new actionplan:
VI. FINANCIAL PARAGRAPH
The 22nd of November 1996 I decided to the foundation of the following companies: 1. Instituto Cervantes Holding Ltd 2. Cervantes Education & Training B.V. 3. Cervantes Recruitment & Selection B.V. 4. Cervantes Management & Organization B.V. 5. Cervantes Business Consultancy B.V. 6. Cervantes Travels B.V. 7. Cervantes Translation Services B.V. 8. Cervantes Interpret Services B.V. 9. Cervantes Public Relations B.V. 10. Cervantes Communication Services B.V. As first activity Cervantes Recruitment & Selection has to be started at Schiphol Amsterdam Airport in the form of an office for recruitment and selection of personal in favour of companies directed to the Spanish speaking market. The need of capital is indicated in Projectprofiel 40244 of the 'Nederlandse Beurs voor Investeringen in Bedrijven en Ondernemingen (nebib)' of 7 April 1997. To establish the main office in Stratford on the first place a complete Management Information System is needed, an office and a small staff and of course a business angel as investor.
VII. ACTIONPLAN FROM 8 APRIL 1997
1. Raising venture capital
2. Appointment Commercial Manager
3. Changing Foundation
Cervantes Benelux into European
Cervantes Foundation
4. Establishing Cervantes
Recruitment & Selection on Schiphol Airport
5. Development Cervantes
Education & Training
6. Development trainingsprogramme in favour of personal of Schiphol
Airport
7. Appointment Country Managers
8. Establishment Head Office in Stratford-upon-Avon
The most important change in my plan for you will be the new proposed statutary objectives of the
European Cervantes Foundation:
a. promotion of Spanish language
and culture
b. promotion of Dutch-Spanish and British-Spanish collaboration
projects in the most ample way
c. promotion of humanitarian projects for children in Spanish
speaking countries
The English horoscope told me that Silence has been Golden (once I sent a fax with that message to Het Stadhouderlijk Hof), but that in the coming few weeks that will be over and there will be a great necessity of discussion. I agree.
