Friday, 9-05-1997
I think in this respect of queen
Beatrix and king Juan
Carlos who met each other in Achen yesterday after H.R.H.
had presentend the Prix
Charlemagne to President Roman Herzog.
The German married couples that I spoke in 'Sherlock Holmes' on
Sunday 20 April ("Van der Heyden dass ist ein sehr Hoch Adliches
Geschlecht") were involved in the organization of the presentation
of that reward. I may presume that Instituto Cervantes Benelux and Britain must
have been a subject of conversation and I hope that they arranged
our visit to Spain in
1998. Back home from the trip to ZEIST, Utrecht, DRIEBERGEN and Maarn.
I was advised not to spend money in purchasing real estate to
be able to invest more in the development of the business plan
and found a little home in the Goudvinklaan 10A in Maarn that
will suit me for the next coming months. I need the collaboration
of the Lord Mayor of Maarn however to get the keys of this appartment
on 24 May. In ZEIST
there will be built a new office park of William
Properties that will be the ideal location for the office
of ICB.
I will request for the brochure at Jones
Lang Wootton next Monday. In the train from Maarn to Nijmegen
I read the Royal Purple
Crown Exclusive article about the 28
years old knight in shining armour, who calls you the guardian
angel, after having returned from Spain. I like the photograph
taken before the statue of King
William. From Mr
Philip Homer - Economic Development Manager of the District
Council of Stratford on Avon - I received the following message:
'I have studied the Business Plan you left me following your visit last week. I would conclude that whilst your proposals may well be of interest to companies seeking to establish trade links with Spain the majority would utilise more traditional means. They are more likely to use the services of Business Link Export Advisors, Department of Trade and Industry support, and services provided through British Diplomatic/Commercial Posts throughout Europe. Many companies will also get involved with Chamber of Commerce sponsored overseas trade missions. The District Council of course fully recognises the need to encourage overseas trade links and currently actively partnership organisations such as the Local Business Link Initiative. It is unlikely however at this juncture that it would be wise to become involved with individual or specific consultancy. Regarding the Cervantes/Shakespeare scenario one feels that any cultural link would be best achieved through Direct liaison with Authorities in the Spanish Birthplace Town. In closing may I take this opportunity to wish you success with your ventures into Europe and the USA.'
I am very glad with this letter. Mr Philip Homer seems to me a very serious man and he appears to be very well informed. In my opinion the collaboration with Henley-Management-College and/or Warwick Business School can go on. I also conclude that my proposed joint visit to Spain must include a visit to Alcalá de Henares in 1998. One of the directors of the Dutch Broadcasting Company NOS noted 28 September in his agenda. I also received an invitation from de Baak with an empty chair on the envelope for the Congress The New Economy on 20 June that I certainly must have to visit. In every way I think We have to go to Alcalá together. Considering the letter of Mr Homer I have the opinion that we agreed that he should hand over my Business Plan to the Chairman of his District Council. So I expect a reaction of Mrs Ribbons as well!
