Michelin***: new Paella's for London
Selling a Superyacht with the best Western architecture in China is like selling spanisch Paella in the United Kingdom.
While Chinese clients need more a catering temple interior for their business friends than a cruising experience, British Gourmets like to enjoy more their less famous foods than experience new horizons. If you think different, just search on Google!
As a result Quique Dacosta (*** Michelin Chef from Denia, Spain) had to "individualize Spanish plates" to the British taste to make his new "Spanish" restaurant in London successful.
ARROS QD 64 Eastcastle St, Fitzrovia, London, prices between 60/80 euros per person arrosqd.com
According to Quique Dacosta in an interview by @JCCapel from elpais.es:
rep10_2
What is costing us the most is the "Socarrat" (the rice that gets crunchy and forms a crust at the bottom of the pan, a key for many who appreciate good paella). They often return paellas because the rice is burned.
We explain that this challenge is a fundamental part of the dish, that paella is not a risotto, that Socarrat is not accidental but intentional, and that it provides special notes. Even so, they reject us. Only some are getting used to it."
The new Food Temple "Arros QD" is created on two floors (1.000 m2) and decorated by interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán. More than 40 partners invested about 4.3 million pounds and 90 jobs have been created so far.
Be a missionary or adapt the market?
I am sure he will be flexible but he won't select a "Thermomix" solution! As he is a great ambassador for the Spanish cuisine let's wish him lots of SUCCESS! [375]1926p

Cybersecurity & Domain Fraud
by @norbertomoreau
Cybersecurity has become an important topic in each company nowadays as the vulnerability is raising. Internet domain fraud with fake domains is applied in many cases for Phishing. Here two examples, the character and the domain extensions game:
(2) Even the US government was hit by a domain fraud. Instead of whitehouse.gov they set up whitehouse.com and they generated a turnover of 1 million dollars a year with inscription for pornographic content.
Summary: check all links and don't trust only the so called secure https. [377]1111
@norbertomoreauVulnerability Management - nowadays is applied with cybersecurity products incorporating machine learning in the form of predictive modeling. This gives visibility into vulnerabilities to not only known and unknown threats and exploitations, but also vulnerabilities with no currently known exploitations. A robotic task which substitutes humans.

Chinese popular in Turkey
by @norbertomoreau

China move from manufacturing to creation
by @norbertomoreau
Chinese companies are on the way to climb up the value chain from the world’s manufacturing base to a country of creation and original ideas.
As there are no homegrown brands or groups that can be compared to global industry leaders, it will take a while. But a while will be shorter in China than in the Western world. We will see that with Huawei´s own HongMeng and Ark OS. The first devices with their software are expected to launch in October.
@norbertomoreauI am just remembering the Chinese book "The Art of War” (“孙子兵法") Chapter 6: Weaknesses and Strengths.
To create a situation in which the enemy is forced to engage. This is accomplished by a carrot-and-stick approach in which the enemy is enticed by the illusion of easy success, which forces him into a trap while the real battlefield is already prepared somewhere else.
Now watch the Huawei case and see what's happen in the world!

Mass tourism in Denia, Spain
by @norbertomoreau
Denia, a tourism village south of Valencia with access to Ibiza had to limit the access to a seaside Cave "Cova Tallada". The new regulations oblige the visitor to register with their National Identity Document and only allow five tickets for each registered DNI. In addition, reservations for tickets only can be made up to 15 days maximum. Reservations can be done only in Spanish or Valencian.
Many times I have made the route with groups of 20 to 80 people of different ages. (1km / 20-50 min) Some parts to access the cove have been improved lately as being dangerous. As a result everybody can have a walk to have a good time and leave their garbage. [361]1111
