A large bankrupt, shutdown restaurant / nightclub named Amorini (Why Not) in Bergen, Norway, was initially purchased with six other shareholders from a bank towards the end of 1995. I increased my share of the company’s stock to 97%, up from 29%, during the nine-month extensive refurbishment, rebuilding and run-in period. We had by then managed to increase our turnover drastically (in excess of 1.4 million NOK monthly) with the lowest running cost related to income among competing nightclubs in the city of Bergen (250000 inhabitants). The Restaurant / Nightclub Amorini (Why Not) was sold in 1997 to Espen Galtung Døsvik.
