Winston Gerschtanowitz tried to influence the men of VI last weekend. He has asked Wilfred Genee to show his colleagues an ‘informative’ video.
Quote magazine has seriously embarrassed Winston Gerschtanowitz. After a year of research, it appears that behind his ‘charity’ EarthToday there is a lucrative profit construction. Winston is now being criticized from all sides and the Albert Heijn has even taken his bonus card.
“Heard of Winston?”
Winston’s biggest critics are arguably VI’s men. Johan Derksen has even called him a ‘pseudo-swindler’. And that does not sit well with the SBS 6 presenter. He sent Wilfred Genee a sore message last week, because he is disappointed that they did not call each other first, like TV friends do.
Johan Derksen in yesterday Today Inside: “Have you heard from your friend Winston?”
Wilfred: “How funny you say that.”
Johan: “That’s not funny at all, because I’ve read Youp van ‘t Hek’s column and I’ve never agreed with him as much as I did with this column.”
Wilfred: “Yes, but that’s exactly what he wrote about it. That is one hundred percent indeed, yes.”
René van der Gijp: “He does regret that guy. He must be sorry.”
Appende Winston
Wilfred says that Winston texted him again. “I noticed that, because I got Saturday… He didn’t respond to anything last week, not to my apps and not to my phone calls, because he was angry that I had not contacted him. Then on Saturday I got an app asking if I wanted to show you a TEDx speech.”
A TEDx speech is a speech in which speakers can showcase their brilliant ideas in a short period of time, no more than eighteen minutes. Winston has a video of such a speech in which someone explains why it is good to work with all kinds of profit structures at charities. His wife Renate also posted it on her Insta this weekend.
‘Convince Johan!’
Wilfred watched that video at Winston’s request. “From a man who explains that you actually have to support charities more and more in business-technical form. That story in itself might also be true, but if I wanted to show you that and convince you of it.”
Wilfred doesn’t listen to that. “I say: ‘Well, then you don’t know this program, because it’s no longer there. The first impression is always the impression that counts.’”
Johan: “No, but if you hide a business model a bit in a charity shop, then you are already suspicious. You do not do that.”
incomprehensible
It remains incomprehensible, Wilfred thinks. “Well, then he claims it was on the website and so on, but look: of course they prominently featured the other story and barely brought up one story. What I don’t understand: someone who works in the media and knows so well how it works, then you can hardly make that mistake, can you?”
Johan: “It was about money, Wilfred. Then they run wild. That’s some of those yuppies together, just like the posh girl who was talking gibberish. They are only concerned with one thing: making money.”
Wilfred: “According to that TEDx speech, you will earn even more money if you do it from a business point of view or through a business model, but if you don’t tell us in advance… Albert Heijn obviously didn’t know that either. Albert Heijn has now also withdrawn.”
Johan: “Every reputable business does not want to be associated with this. He only has himself to blame for that. You can also be a bit too greedy for money, can’t you?”
