You know I’m no fan of the World Bank. But from time to time, curiosity opens some doors. This is what I found. More than 50% of PPPs are renegotiated… Let that sink in. 50%. And usually in favor of the private sector... ​ 50–60% of PPP contracts in developed countries ​ So the contract you sign is not the contract you live with. ​ What does it mean? ​ Simple… ​ It means the real risk allocation It means Value for Money is often theoretical. It means bidders price for renegotiation, ​ If you did not know that… sorry. Life is tough. And money is made in these nuances. If you want to get any of this mindset… I know a place.

I'm very happy with this bag. You know why? Surprise me... (but I knew the answer). As it smaller, I put less things inside, and it's much lighter. Like tender documentation. I've been heavily criticised for being a fanatic of reducing as much as I can the "space" for bidders to explain their...
Almost a year in the market. 3.5 million. Then, 3.0. Then, 2.9. I liked it, I compared it with the market. I thought that 2.8 – 2.9 mil could be a good deal. Offer: 2.75 million. Not very big, not too fancy… but a view. You have to pay well for those things in NZ… and not an investment, but a place to live. Anyway. Counter-offer… 3.2 million. The agent called it buyer’s regret. I call it, not serious. This happened in December. And this is not uncommon. I’ve seen teams that once named...
