RE:RE:RE:capex questions Im not certain of the exact partnership model but I was told that a “turnkey” franchise was not going to happen as Cielo would need to manage each facility. My understanding is that the protection of the IP is paramount. Park one of these highly automated refineries in the third world and see how long it takes for them to fubar it...... one, two fubars tarnishes Cielos reputation. Park one in a first world jurisdiction and how do you ensure they are not cooking the books.... reverse engineering it.....
This is just a morning pontification on my part..... I’m not certain of ANYTHING other than the fact they will have some sort of control over each facility but not sure to what degree. For less pontificating, we need to sit at the feet of the Pontiff, his holiness Don Allan and Chief Cardinal Michael..

I REALLY hope that's not where we're headed, otherwise growth here will be like molasses. I'd much rather see Cielo make 100 deals in 2019 and collect royalties than to drown in debt or dilution to finance a minority partner. This would be an epic mistake.
Get 50-100 companies on royalties. Our SP would rocket. Then we could pursue equity financing at a MUCH higher SP, find minority partners, grow further, then simply use profits to open more locations. Having a controlling interest in every facility is a greedy, unintelligent way to grow this business, unless the plan is to spend the next 50 years doing it and release 10 billion shares at .10 a piece. God help us all if that's the route we take. But ofcourse, this being a public company, we could always voice our concerns at shareholder meetings and vote for different management if things really go sideways. I hope Don is not greedy and values rapid growth over his ego.
Lastly, if this technology proves popular, it won't be long before other companies come up with variations of the same and we lose our market leader status. Cielo needs to act fast and grow quickly.

Cielo acquiring cash flow within 3 months of each facility??? Globally???? the numbers are staggering....

Does the co. plan on building/owning all refineries or will it license the tech to 3rd parties?
