We can see the Chinese models. Start with a good family culture. Business mentality. Creating a family empire. And conquer the business.
It is not easy to become like Chinese. It takes time to build. One of the best things that we can learn how they started. Some of the products produced from home. They create a lot of things from home. Example fast food such as burger, sausages, mee hoon etc. All started at home. Not only created food from home but also other things namely screw, bolt and nut, nail cutter, etc., some producing at home. After certain years and seen products to be potential then, as usual, they do business running from a shop.
Why the Chinese business always win? First, we can see the method they choose is great. Normally they started with the family business. From there, they started to expand the business by setting up the subsidiary which also owns by the family. This will go on until the business become an empire. Besides that, the business culture in their community started from young kids. The young kids play and grow in the business environment. The strong culture and unity are the core value they have that brings them great businessperson. So, no reason they rarely failed in doing business.
