As you all know, I am very obsessed with money. Xiaotian and I have dreamt up together of a future business. Firstly, after we graduated from our respective universities, we shall meet together in Singapore and discuss about a business with Joshua Sim, who will then be a very sucessful businessman, given his talents and looks. We will ask Joshua to be our sponsor. He shall give us a cheque of S$100, 000. Then we will setup a small shop in the HDB area of Ang Mo Kio, named Hyper-Tech. Why have we chosen Ang Mo Kio? There are few or no IT/Computer retail outlets there, so potential computer buyers with a budget, or quality product consumer would have to travel all the way to IT malls like Sim Lim Square or Funan. Ang Mo Kio is also the busiest HDB area so chosing Ang Mo Kio could cause our business to prosper. After using the S$100,000 to get stock from companies such as nVidia, Intel, Asus, Maxtor, Kingston, Microsoft, Apple etc. and furnished the shop, we will officially open our door to start business. Xiaotian's proposed strategy stated that we will first ask the customer about a few things when he steps into the store
1. Budget
2. Needs
We shall sell him a computer which meets his budget and needs, in other words, tailormade. While we converse about that, we will also equip him with some computer knowledge he needs to know about the products. If the patron is simply a person browsing through, or upgrading his current computer, we shall treat him the same as the first, no matter if we earn money or not. The customer, if buying a computer, will have a choice of buying operating systems from either Microsoft or Apple. This would increase our flexibility in sales and gain patrons from supporters from either OSes. For people buying computers, we will give a free 1-year warranty, which if the computer purchased within the time period stated breaks down or becomes faulty, we will troubleshoot the problem, and at most, put together a new one for him. A free delivery service would also be catered to computer buyers. An upgraded Citroen van driven by Xiaotian would bring the computer and the patron to his doorstep, which would probably be the wildest ride of his life.
Through this strategy, we would hope to get much business. All profits will be split between Joshua, Xiaotian and I. When we have profitted enough, we will open another shop next to Hyper-Tech. A car repair and upgrade centre with the name Hyper-Tune. With another source of income, we shall profit even more.
Sadly, this dream is not very likely to happen. Because Xiaotian is going overseas for university, so he has a low chance of coming back to singapore, since he has no property or car here.
Anyway at the very least we shall send the whole class (210) our unfinished script/play we have composed during sec 1/2 at the end of sec 2, as our class would be dispersed.
And yes, IE7 Beta 2 sucks. GUI is slick, complete with tabs and Phishing filter, but posting in Blogger totally sucks. Backspace lag and occasional blanking out of words.
