johnny: if you take a look at Japan the way they do business is by working together. For example in this type of industry if Japan had, let's say three companies producing bio-resins, what the companies would do is come together and share ideas. They would then figure out a way to work together by sharing technologies, techniques, etc.
This in turn leads to a tremendous benefits for, not only those companies, but also the consumers because now they can benefit from the highest quality products. The companies benefit because they are now on the leading edge and able to produce in the same manner as their "competitor" which really turns out to be more of a partnership. In the end all three companies would make a profit, consumers are thrilled to receive a high quality product and they continue to buy. This is why Japan is the fourth largest economy in the world even though it is a tiny island that China can sneeze out of Shandong province hahahahahahaha
Scheer should take a trip to Japan, he'll learn a few things. His business model of hoarding his ideas can, IMO, be one of the factors that has lead to the collapse of CERP. IMO it also turned off many EU countries who would have purchased products from CERP.
