“We find that there are not enough big projects in Malaysia. Even if we look at big projects currently, more than half of them are actually done by Chinese contractors, and these Chinese state-owned enterprise contractors, if they want the project, they can easily tender even at a loss. So how are we going to compete with them? So we have no choice, we have to go overseas.”

walk around bkk can see quite a few teochew businesses

all kaki nang

the rice, timber, seafood and bird nest businesses in siamland r basically cornered by a few old teochew families.

especially the rice export business, almost 90% of rice exporters r teochews.

but the most sakti thai biz i want to invest.............

Will bank of china in sg be affected?

most likely since most of the china-bound trade financing is cornered by boc and icbc.

I keep misreading Pigudong as Pudong...

 

正大 is the Chinese name of the Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group in Thailand which was started by a pair of Teochew brothers with surname Chia.

go bkk speak teochew, can survive in samphanthawong.

btw, some of the teochew families in siamland has a less-than-glamorous history from today's perspective. 

not surprising.

postal bank and the big 4 will most likely be anchor banks in any consolidation.

i will only start buy in when the crisis comes.

the ipo to watch will be bank of bohai in hk later next yr.

This mall in Pudong might be opened by Thai?

new pudong lujiazui area, next to ifc.

this mall is owned by siam's cp group.

theres a nice japanese restaurant on the 4th or 5th floor of ifc mall, i make it a point to jiak there whenever i m in shanghai.

Anyway..Some of the sasa items not very popz even though they carry branded brands too. And the prices for some of the items are expensive

thats why time to revamp and bring in fresh ideas.

watson can either grow organically or do a partial buyout to control sasa.

then do a store rebranding, product refresh and guerrilla marketing  exercise.

at the same time, bring in some of the popular online niche products.

the retail sector has changed and traditional brick-and-mortar operations will not make it alone.

True that. Like since the respond is positive on ig liao, with many people giving their reviews, a pop up store will make it even more popz.

 

Or watson or guardian can bring it in. Like the recent Wishtrend and Olive young products. They having the Olive young event at Ion these few days

if there is anyone smart in watson, most likely now is best time to buy controlling stake in sasa.

i can see the synergy of such a deal.

Oh i see.. I thought ur atbs like to use those super famous de like Shiseido or Sekkisei or those Korean brands?

depending on age.

those below 25 tend to use hada labo or laneige/innisfree while those between 25-35 like to use more established brands like kanebo and ysl.

Babybright kinda new over here. It became popular due to a kpop star using it. Due to this popularity, this local store owner brought in and i think later have another store also brought in

if i m the local importer, better set up pop-up store.

lower rental costs and can promote it as a chic fad.

I tried Canmake. I dont think its good.

If they buy the brand i think price will go up ?. Babybright is kinda like a drugstore brand, around $10+

this one have to ask the ols in my office,

but surprisingly, canmake is quite popular in tiongland, especially with young ols.

i can see the profit of such a deal.

if the buyer can successfully get other kois to promote the brand, the brand can really take off and managed properly, there will only be minimal price impact since the target is price-sensitive young ols and teenage girls.

Only this store brought in more of the thai products. But usually there is some popularity liao.

 

The lipstick brand which i sic above bcom popular  bcos of Rosé

i see,

sooner or later, some japanese kanebo or canmake will come in and buy the brand.

I never buy frm sasa unless neccessary. I only step in jus to ssrr but never buy.

 

Usually those high end stores the makeup i never buy. I recently saw an online store selling this brand n bought one . Very affordable n nice. Bp Rose also used

skin-care products is best buy from physical stores becos some of those online stores send u expired cream and a real hassle to do refund.

Amazon selling the herb.

basic ingredient of a&w rootbeer is either using root bark of sassafras tree or vine of sarsaparilla.

but correct mixture dosage is trial-and-error.

5 minutes ago, The_King said:

Not the a&w brand. The root beer come in glass bottle

those sold in restaurant has a slightly different syrup mixture and dosage.

add in the frosted mug, the taste is different from the a&w rootbeer sold in ntuc.
