Samantala, inalam naming kung ano ang sikreto ng isang successful restaurateur tulad ni Richard na may tatlong branches na ng Wang Fu at isang Luna J.
“I think by treating people right, by giving them what spare, what they deserved, lahat naman tayo I think we want to feel the sense of self-worth.
“If you’re working for someone and you want to feel that, ganoon din ako sa mga taong nagtatrabaho sa akin, we want to give them, gusto namin umangat sila kasama namin.
“Kung umangat ‘yung negosyo, aangat din ‘yung mga taong nagta-trabaho sa amin. That’s something I want to be part to all the people, gusto kong umasenso sila sa buhay,” paliwanag nito.
Totoo nga bang Chinese ang magaling sa paghawak ng mga negosyo?
“I think, it’s a culture, kasi Chinese were brought up to go into business talagang kailangan bata palang nagtatrabaho ka na, siguro kasi Filipinos or lets say when we were colonized by Spain, ano kasi mayroon kasing tendency na i-spoil ‘yung mga bata, so, siguro roon ‘yung difference.
“But there’s a lot of Filipino’s who are very business minded, so nandoon na rin sila, natututo na rin. A lot of them are very good in business na rin ngayon, so dominated na rin ang mga Chinese,” say ni Ser Chief.
May negosyong pinasok ang aktor na hindi siya nagtagumpay.
“Before I entered showbiz, may kinuha kaming franchise, siyempre hindi masyadong ano (kumita), hindi namin na-background check masyado, ‘yun pala parang naloko lang kami, so you have to be very careful. Oo, mayroon din (lugi), hindi lahat panalo, pero that is one of how many, so it’s just that hindi puwedeng mag-jump into something, dapat you have to really study at dapat aralin mo kung sino ‘yung mga makakasama mo, sino ‘yung parent company, sino ‘yung tao behind it, kung may kalokohan sila rati at malalamam mo kung puwede mo sila uli pagbigyan o hindi na,” pagtatapat nito.
”If you want to go into business, kailangan talaga bantayan mo, hindi puwedeng you ask somebody to take care of it kasi, you have to remember, walang taong gagawa ng pera para sa ‘yo, ikaw talaga ang gagawa ng pera para sa kanila.
“Kailangan magaling din ‘yung partners mo at committed din, ‘yun ang siktreto talaga, kasi ‘yung partners ko, we have our own responsibilities. Basta gawin nila ‘yung sa kanila, gagawin ko ‘yung sa akin then it will help the company run,” payo ni Richard sa mga may planong magtayo ng negosyo.
