It is amazing how quickly the "Orinoco" business empire has grown. I guess it's true what they say about little acorns and mighty oaks. The accompanying photographs show two of our state-of-the-art warehouses, the fleet of golden delivery vans we ordered from Toyota in Japan and the mighty golden freight plane just delivered by Boeing. Remember that wise old saying, "The camera never lies?" Well, it's true.
I used to think that developing a successful mega-business would be hard but it has proven to be so, so easy. Like rolling a snowball down a hill. Small at first, it just gets bigger and bigger.
In other "Orinoco" news, we are delighted to announce that we have secured the rights to the song "Orinoco Flow" by the Irish singer Enya. Well, to be honest, we offered her a price she should could hardly resist. It will be the company song in cinema and online advertising. We may change the song's title to "Orinoco Flow Chart" in the course of time but here, just as a reminder, is the original...
Well aren't you having fun with this series of posts.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what you mean young man.
DeleteMr. Pudding you must be suffering from ennui. Although I applaud your efforts with regards to the AI generated images, I am concerned that you may not be getting enough Vitamin D. I implore you to step back from the computer keyboard and continue your explorations of the beautiful Yorkshire countryside!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your kind concern but when one is the head of mega-successful international mega-company, one has to make sacrifices.
DeleteI'm wondering if you want to keep the business in the family or perhaps float it on the stock exchange? You know, you are not a young man and it must be such hard work for you. Your readers could be given heavily discounted preferential shares.
ReplyDeleteSorry Andrew, there will be no favouritism!
DeleteI'm impressed with the super fast growth of your business but wonder if that means it will die just as quickly? I like the golden vans.
ReplyDeleteOrinoco will flow like the river Elsie.
DeleteYou really are on a roll there these days, aren't you!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the Enya song was the first thing that came to mind when you started posting about Orinoco.
We need to recruit several more drivers for our south western Germany division. Do you have a driving licence?
DeleteAs a long-term reader of my blog, you should know that I don't!
DeleteYes. I knew that.
DeleteCould I borrow that Boeing to nip down to visit young Andrew?
ReplyDeleteYoung Andrew? Oh, you mean Old Andrew!...No!
DeleteIt's incredible the speed with which your business has taken off YP! Only last week you were tramping round some hidden part of Yorkshire taking photos of roofless barns and sheep - and look at you now!
ReplyDeleteIs the plane covered in real gold leaf, or is it just a paint job?
Aeronautical gold paint. I agree that the business has been turbo-charged.
DeleteAny chance of getting Enya to play West Cork? I have seen her family Clannad play 5 times. I even have their last tour T shirt.
ReplyDeleteShe lives in the Dublin suburb of Killiney very close to The Edge and Bono. I will put your plea to her next time she invites me over for dinner.
DeleteIt's going to your head. And what are you doing with all the data you are collecting about the customers? It was really very naughty to target the voters in Wellingborough and Kingswood with those deep fake videos of Sunak saying he doesn't give a shit about the poor people.
ReplyDeleteI sell the harvested data to The Russians. By the way, I had no involvement in yesterday's by-elections. That was my nemesis - Jeff Bezos.
DeleteOpps, Boeing has no more 747s to deliver, the last one went to UPS a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteDon't believe everything you hear or read in the media David!
DeleteAren't you a silly blogger these days, Neil?!
ReplyDeleteExcuse me! No Orinoco deliveries for you Ellen!
DeleteI suppose it is just start up problems but your graphics painters for your vans and planes are making some mistakes when spelling Orinoco.
ReplyDeleteMost of that team wear red MAGA baseball caps so I guess that explains it.
DeleteI pass an Amazon distribution center when I take the interstate to town. I have to say that although Orinoco's mega center is much more handsome than Amazon's, it is not as large.
ReplyDeleteSize isn't everything Mary.
DeleteI had no idea you are a captain of industry!
ReplyDeleteI am not a captain, I am a field marshal!
DeleteJust wait until tax time - or do you have an army of accountants and lawyers to avoid all taxes? lol
ReplyDeleteMy company is registered in The Cayman Islands for tax purposes.
DeleteI am looking for a job.
ReplyDeleteI am nearly deaf, have a lot of grey hair but I show up on time and every day. Is there a spot for me?
You seem to possess all the qualities needed for a personal assistant to the CEO. I will be in touch Linda.
DeleteThis Orinocco venture seems to have made you slightly rude and uncharitable as evidenced by not loaning the plane out. I guess money really does change people, heh?
ReplyDeleteI am not prepared to answer this question.
