Bella Terra Mall. Santiago.

Now that you guys got me thinking, I don't think it would be stretching to say the least to propose that a lot of the Hispanic investors who are flush with capital that were investing in Orlando and South Florida may have jumped ship and looked for more stable areas to invest their money. After all, Florida property values in many areas have dropped by a third and the economy is in a depression (in spite of what Obama's minions would have us believe) so why wouldn't investing in another LA country be an option?

One thing I've learned in almost 20 years in this business is that there are a lot of filthy rich people in this world looking for somewhere to invest their money that has a ROR greater than a bank, and honestly since US banks are no longer stable nor much less real estate it only makes sense these wealthy investors will look for greener pastures.

As to whether this money is legit, nobody I know in the engineering field in the States seems to be concerned where the money comes from as they figure it's not their right to know anyhow.

It's all very confusing...I have read quite a few of the posts and it confuses me. Can you give a very quick overview of the basic points?

Nope! Not the thread for that and honestly, you can find more than a few posts of me on this if you do a simple search!

Too tired of explaining the same thing, to people that are superior to us Dominicans anyhow...

Back to the Mall!

What are you talking about? I truely want to understand and you just tell me no...and then tell me that I think I am superior. Send me a quick pm. I am actually interested.

Not saying you as superior, but those for whom I had to spent time explaining, time and time again, in other threads!


Trust me! Do a quick search on the advanced option tab for the forum and you'll get more than the basics of it as posted!

Here, like every other thread, I want to keep it clean to the OP and stop the madness of people that still don't grasp something to open up a thread just for that and debate all the want on the merits.

I'm honestly thinking of not posting anymore on DR1 if this continues to happen and threads just get spoiled on topics that have nothing to do with the OP.

That's why I told Robert to go back and read my posts when we debated on this plenty of times before.

 

[PICHARDO]

You meant "Nestles"

Correct!

Ask McDonald's to explain to you what biz dynamics are to the whole biz structure from one point to the other.

They had to "rethink" and "re-do" their entire biz as they knew it from their vastly superior and long term biz experience and knowledge, mostly based on the same basics you here tout as the same for all cultures/markets as equal for their complete China and Asia markets.

There's basics, and then there's the actual biz, which we call the dynamics of the biz itself. Basics like the ones you tout, are just that, basic principles of biz for the modern world of economics we adopted since the industrial revolution and fall of protectionism on home markets. The principles of biz are NOT the biz itself nor can they copy and replicate the same pattern of doing biz everywhere as you support.

The DR is not Puerto Rico, nor is it the same dynamics of biz as the USA. Each market owns a distinct dynamism of their home economies. Some like the DR are based on more cultural mix traits, than trends found in overall markets elsewhere using the same economic principles as basic building blocks.

Case in point: Hershey's a super duper and experienced biz operator had to pull the plug in the local DR market, because their business dynamics couldn't compete with that of the local mini-operator Bon...

As for your above reference equal and the same, the big corporate had the advantage being strictly under the same and exact biz model as you claim, yet failed?

More pure baloney.

I have searched and can find nothing specific....now you refuse to help. I will start a new thread on the subject asking the question.

Whatever... Just go back and read... Can't force you to, can I?

What I forgot to add is that what I propose above could be a plausible reason for the ever increasing development of malls in this country, especially in the last 5 years - which coincides with the beginning of the meltdown in the US (that everyone saw coming) which was sealed of course shortly after when Obama "took" the helm, in as "removed" and thrown overboard.

You have never, ever, not once explained this dynamic, yet mysteriously DNA-centric Dominican business model.

Never.

You just babble trying to confuse folks.

That may work with the uninitiated, unknowing and naive. It doesn't work with me.

It's in this same thread here, just in earlier pages! Lots of it!

Start to READ from page 4 of this same thread and get the facts before you post the above...

 

[PICHARDO]

Then you can do a quick advanced search to find waaaaay more than that posted and debated in other threads here on DR1!

 

[PICHARDO]

Now, after all these commercials, back to the Mall topic!

Does anyone ever wonder if Pichardo is maybe just having a little too much fun watching you guys respond to his posts?

Although he might be a bit over the top, one thing about him is that he does post something positive about the DR.. and something is better than nothing. Obviously there may be issues about where the money comes from etc etc, but I'm happy as long as it provides jobs and doesn't hurt anyone.
