Hunter,
I hope all is well. Things with Trainose drag along; the Chinese are not known for quick decisions.
We did meet with Cosco and they have asked us to come back to them answering a series of questions. The questions are elementary, which continues to suggest they know very little about running a railroad.
They were pleased about our approach to the passenger business. We told Cosco that they must help us arrange for 100% financing; they did not object.
The US Embassy continues to be completely disengaged from the process. One has to wonder if they have any idea what is going on in Greece. Cosco wants us to meet with the Chinese Ambassador to Greece. In turn, the Chinese Ambassador would like an introduction from the Embassy. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Tsipras is heading to Moscow to see Putin on April 8. I think is overblown to think the Russians have a “strategic” interest in the railroad. I think their focus is on the port of Thessaloniki. However, I do not trust either the Russians or the Chinese in any of these dealings.
The Euroconsultants people are heading back to Kiev the week of April 13th. We remain interested in assisting Ukraine with their economic issues. As it relates to Burisma, I remain interested in helping any way I can.
Are you going to be in the Hamptons in the next month?
Regards,
David
