00:01:22,605 --> 00:01:25,137
Ladies and gentlemen, here are some of my impressions (feelings)
2
00:01:25,137 --> 00:01:30,465
And I would like to speak from the heart to my friends at Google.
3
00:01:30,465 --> 00:01:34,950
In the beginning of this adventure, it was more than five years ago,
4
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:37,037
We could not really believe in it.
5
00:01:37,037 --> 00:01:42,608
And we realised that we had conditions to meet.
6
00:01:42,608 --> 00:01:48,599
In fact, no just your arrival/installation here is an adventure [...]
7
00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:55,245
but also a triumph of the will to beat defaitisme by optimism.
8
00:01:55,245 --> 00:01:57,265
Nothing is easy.
9
00:01:57,265 --> 00:02:02,527
But thanks to your desire to implant yourself in Europe
10
00:02:02,527 --> 00:02:09,127
[...]
11
00:02:09,127 --> 00:02:13,435
And also because the opportunities on offer in the European Union
12
00:02:13,435 --> 00:02:16,252
That we offer in the Walloon region,
13
00:02:16,252 --> 00:02:20,471
The regional desire to make things happen
14
00:02:20,471 --> 00:02:27,631
You needed a terrain, you needed water, you needed workers needed, you needed this and that ...
15
00:02:27,631 --> 00:02:29,389
But you managed.
16
00:02:29,389 --> 00:02:34,536
By installing yourselves here, you not only found conditions
17
00:02:34,536 --> 00:02:44,258
[...] and I have seen some reports on the quality of the businesses that are working for you
18
00:02:44,258 --> 00:02:56,639
[...] inside the house there are also certain jobs, also for people from this region
19
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,657
With amongst others [...]
20
00:02:59,657 --> 00:03:10,156
As an aside ... I am like Oscar Wilde, I can resist to everything but temptation ...
21
00:03:10,156 --> 00:03:14,319
You know, it was not long ago, and there are always people like this, some critique everything.
22
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:20,884
They critiqued the Mons gare, and other installations.
23
00:03:20,884 --> 00:03:27,776
And they critiqued Google, saying: there are no jobs, and those are not people from here!
24
00:03:27,776 --> 00:03:35,060
And I said, I am sure, there will be. And today we can see, there are.
25
00:03:35,060 --> 00:03:45,104
So I would like to say to everyone that spends their lives critiquing: Only those who [entreprend], go forward.
26
00:03:45,104 --> 00:03:51,447
And also, the derived effects of the installation of Google are enormous. But I will not go into details.
27
00:03:51,447 --> 00:03:58,923
But maybe the most important is, that we have done what we could.
28
00:03:58,923 --> 00:04:02,280
The minister of the region has reminded us. The mayor has done his work.
29
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:07,027
The college, each of us have done what we could.
30
00:04:07,027 --> 00:04:13,824
But you can not imagine, responsibles of Google, what you have brought us.
31
00:04:13,824 --> 00:04:22,829
The fact that you have decided to install yourselves here, has unlocked the writing of a new page in our history.
32
00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:32,630
We were tired, a bit bent because we have experienced terrible ordeals. I will not go into details.
33
00:04:32,630 --> 00:04:40,769
And then ... when you arrived, we did not really know for sure ... but when we said it was Google
34
00:04:40,769 --> 00:04:45,769
Suddenly I saw torsos straighten.
35
00:04:45,769 --> 00:04:52,836
I have seen women and men respond: If Google arrives, something will happen.
36
00:04:52,836 --> 00:04:54,252
And in fact, things have happened.
37
00:04:54,252 --> 00:06:06,512
What has happened?
38
00:06:06,512 --> 00:06:19,692
Google, Mons 2015
39
00:06:19,692 --> 00:06:38,617
Candidature Google was positive
40
00:06:38,617 --> 00:07:00,545
You symbolise the future
41
00:07:00,545 --> 00:07:07,591
To have given the spirit back to young people
42
00:07:07,591 --> 00:07:17,591
Merci! |
