So many logo stickers, all 10,000 of them.

 

 

Entry 19

After many rounds of negotiations, many meetings with several contractors, I finally get to visualy how the shop will look like, but this is not finalised and its subject to changes. Everyone has a piece of comment on the design, everyone wants to make a comment on the design, everyone has something to say when the person doing the job is not themshelves.

Its time to look for packaging materials. The appropriate size, materials, function, design, etc. The better quality you want, the more you have to pay. Its all about balancing, just like walking on a tight rope. Lose your balance and you shall fall.

Its time to visit the machine shop, a place to find all your cafe/kiosk equipment needs. But first of all, you need to find out who sells it, and where are they. Don't bother about the Internet if you looking for cheap supplier, dig up you phone book and start calling everyone you know and hope that someone on your phone book has the right connection.

Finding the supplier is only the first step, next is the finding the place, find the right product at the right price. What if you dont get the right product or the right price? I have met 2 equipment suppliers and you will not believe the price difference. If it wasn't for a connection I have, I would have paid 10 times the price. The difference (beside the price) is: one is from Japan, and the other one is from Taiwan. Needless to say I'll be going for the much cheaper Taiwan product.

You have seen this, but do you know where to buy this? Kekeke :D

Entry 15

Its time for payment. A booking fee for the location. Once payment is made, there is no turning back.


As an accountant by profession, I see numbers every day, numbers that could reach hundreds of millions, but I never really comprehend the significance of these numbers until I made my own payment, even though the booking fee is just a few thousand.

Entry 14

Entry Fourteen 14 is an entry moving forward from Entry Zero 0, in a normal chronology manner.

Registering a company is not an easy task, and it is pricy. The first thing is that you'll need to appoint a company secretary (not your usual personal secretary). A company secretary is a person that handles all the company's registration matters, board minutes and resolutions. Not anyone can be a company secretary, only certain professionals with license can represent a company as a its secretary, and to sign on all the legal documents that are required to be submitted to the relevant governing bodies. Their signatures do not come cheap. Each signature costs a few ringgit. Usually you'll need lots and lots of signatures, and not to mention that the Malaysian authorities always require more than 1 copy of each form. Don't worry if you don't know what are the forms you need to fill up, that's why you get a secretary. The best thing about company secretary is that you need to retain them every year.

But the good thing is, pay a couple of thousand ringgit and anyone can be come a Director or a Chairman or CEO or COO or CFO, etc. You can even be all of those at the same time!!

The name shall be disclosed later.
