Zitat des Tages von Harry Triguboff:
I tried all my life to make housing affordable. The more affordable the house, the more money I make.
I would consider selling the whole company; I wouldn't like to sell just part of it, but on the other hand, I have a grandson intent on following my footsteps and another grandson in another couple of years.
I don't get involved in politics. I think that it is a waste of time and money because very often a politician cannot do much, and if you give him money, you embarrass him, so he can't do anything.
We had a Jewish school; we had a Jewish club. My father was a main donor. My mother was on the committee of the school.
The market is good when the local people are in it and believe in it and support it. That's what I want.
The newspapers were always against me in the beginning because they thought I was depriving people of what they wanted.
If we allow more development, it will bring housing affordability.
In Sydney, we always have a deficiency of housing. So that's one good thing, which will cause real estate to keep going up. Not fast, but it'll go up.
My properties are very good income-producing buildings, so I will have a very good stream of profit even if I can't sell.
We looked into and tested the Airbnb website and found the inquiries generated were at price points substantially lower than the market is prepared to pay us directly. It was clear that there were no real synergies between the level of our offering and what Airbnb clientele is looking for.
We can't express ourselves always at the time we should. Sometimes it takes time.
I realized that we have to do everything we can to preserve the Jewish race. I'm very proud of it, and I think it's wonderful.
This is a lifetime job. You don't look at it, you know, now and then. It doesn't really matter. When the market comes down, then I buy my land very cheaply, so I make my money on that.
I deal in volume. To sell volume, it must be affordable. So that's my whole life, is to make it affordable.
I fire very little because I try to be very careful when I select people. If you know how to select, you don't fire often.
The Chinese were good to us. The war years for us Russians in China were very good years.
If the banks become unreliable lenders, apartment prices will drop dramatically.
Land values are going up a lot in Sydney, but it's feasible to build because prices are going up, too.
Chabad is very important because without Jewish education, Diaspora Jewry would disappear.
The government should spend more time on promoting tourism in Sydney.
I don't think I have to combat Airbnb. It is like comparing Tiffany to a shop that sells things for one dollar.
I'm easy. Very easy. I'll tell you why I am easy. If someone is no good, I get rid of them. It is no good being tough on somebody who can't do the job. If he can do the job, then there is no point in being tough with him.
