BEYOO ONLINE - Meeting Mathieu Gouanou in person

He came to Sofia, indeed. I was quite surprised when I got a SMS on my phone from Mr. Mathieu Gouanou, saying he wants us to join him for dinner.

When all of the BEYOO ONLINE team members gathered, he asked us to do a challenge. What he wanted us was to tell him our values and imagine they are bricks. We all stand in front of a river where some crocodiles are hiding under the waters. You cannot kill them with the bricks, you cannot sacrifice team members, and you cannot even kill yourself. Metaphorically, of course.

Ultimately I revealed the answer of the logical game.

He said he believes in us. He said he wants to empower us more. He said he has huge hopes for BEYOO ONLINE and especially the team in Bulgaria.

The next two days I spent running from one side of the city to another. I made sure everything was flawless and the tasks he had written down were completed. I became a translator, negotiator and a city guide.

Everybody were excited, because we met the behind-the-skype CEO – Mr. Mathieu Gouanou in person. We thought BEYOO ONLINE will succeed. We showed him around the city, we had some ice cream and cheesecake. Everything was great. Nobody expected the huge disappointment which eventually came not long after our first meeting with him. 

Until something else happened.
