or k2 and the uh japanese so the other ones yeah tequila one in the i'll run through it it will actually go over five i think so the tequila one in the uk we were successful with that we built it from 2010 to 2015. um it was about 200 folk in there 20 million was that doing salesforce that was doing the salesforce implementation so we sold that to accenture right in 2015. um
Then we built, there's a business called Publicis Sapient, who's a very good partner of ours over the years.
That's right.
The Publicis side is advertising.
Yeah.
The Sapient side was a digital consulting business firmly in the technology space.
Right.
So they wanted to build, originally they wanted to build a Salesforce company in the UK.
So this is where the build-operate-transfer came from.
It had taken five years and $6 million to build the original Tequila.
And I believe we could do it for half the price in half the time.
if we didn't have to work as hard to find the customers.
So I said to Sapien, if you can give me your MSAs and your go-to-market.
Master Services Agreement.
So for example, let's say Lloyds Bank.
Sapient have a very large client in Lloyds Bank.
