My father in law was a great person and also a great entrepreneur, not necessarily the best administrator, but always a great guy. I remember his comments in regards to how governments, institutions or local authorities and private individuals had made things tough for him. As he said: ¨Yo no le deseo a nadie la mitad de lo que yo he pasado¨. He made more than one fortune and lost a couple, but in the process he left a legacy of courage and wisdom. I will need that.Imagine that you wake up one morning and the road company that won the bid for the road construction by your property, goes broke and leaves town. Companies in Panama are accustomed to low bidding to get the contract and whatever happens later, it just happens.
The outcome is that all of sudden you have no access to your property. What...???? How to handle this crisis? .... Get a lawyer and sue the shit of them....of who?.... crisis 28.
I must think outside the box, the important thing is that I must have access; next week there is heavy equipment coming and that entrance looks bad. Let me see...... How about if I........
a) Call Dick .... Cheney that is, and tell him THE weapons of mass destruction are at my property. He could order an invasion of Panama and in two weeks....Done....maybe,
b) Email the Pope and offer him a site for his next big outdoor event. The Popemovil will require a smooth drive and you don't want the guy inside to fall. Do you?.....
c) How about contacting all news agencies and tell them a massive earthquake just took place...What? What about China?....They did....man they are just taken care of everything.
Now let me see..... ¨Hola Mopri...necesito que me hagas una llamadita al Jefe¨......¨Cogelo suave, Yo lo llamo ¨ Ya hable con el man¨ ¨anda a conversar a ver que se puede hacer¨....
We will see if crisis # 28 can be handled.
