How are we doing on defect?
Focus, focus, focus on the things that matter.
I don't need any time to come up with the answer.
It was the president of Banque Paribas was a gentleman called Christian Weyer, W-E-Y-E-R, Christian Weyer.
And he's still alive.
He's 101 years old, French, but living in Geneva.
And Christian did two things for me.
And the second one is the most kind.
The first one was very helpful for me in business.
He gave me a billion dollars line of credit from Bank Paribas to go do oil trading.
So he had confidence in me.
He believed in me and I didn't let him down.
Really appreciated that.
But the second thing was even kinder.
He introduced me to my wife.
We've been together now for almost 40 years.
