Well that was an interesting meeting. Today’s meeting with Hagemeyer did not end so well with the meeting. First of all they did not like our business plans. They found many holes in our plans, from our investments to other companies besides Shiptur, the companies we were affiliated with, and lastly they did not want to part with their current shipping company.
Their shipping company they have been relying on, called Maersk ,is a much bigger shipping company than ours and has become known world wide while also being a native Denmark company.
Situations like these are very disheartening for both Carl and I, however nothing washes out problems like a pint of beer. Since we are in the netherlands we decided to try a few of their local beers. My favourite one was La Trappe Tripel a nice strong ale.
Even with this depressing news I still believe our shipping company has a shot at the market here in Europe. Our previous meeting with the Royal Dutch Shell still proves that we can do business internationally and that gives me hope for success in our company.
