A friend told me the partners of Cepezed have really been paid in cars for their design of the Porsche showrooms. I also hear despite the current crisis Cepezed is going strong. Imagine you're working for Lada and you're client proposes something like that... Actually, that is true, Kees.

Before he went bankrupt he managed to let his staff work for him for two months without paying them any cent in the end...almost 100 architects without salaries. He also didn't pay other costs like office spaces, taxes, insurances, etc. His company went bankrupt and soon he just started a new company with a slightly different name. That's how you can keep your Porsche after bankruptcy. “By the end of the summer he aimed to have rehired half of them”…this is not correct since he only rehired half of his staff ONLY in Rotterdam.

If there is any print or online magazine interested in publishing the interview with Erick van Egeraat in English, I would be happy to translate it. I didn't know the two partners of Cepezed drive Porsches too. I am not sure Cepezed had to let people go too... Thanks for the comments, Eero, Gasper and Kees.
