Le Dung: your business is more attractive
Shimizu: Oh do you think so?
Le Dung: yeah
Shimizu: ah~~
Le Dung: i'm curious to know how do you find your market in NZ
Shimizu: But actually, I'm decreasing the amount of my job recently because I need to go back to japan soon.
Shimizu: ah
Shimizu: How.
Shimizu: ah ok ok,
Shimizu: That's by chance.
Shimizu: By chance, I came to the countryside of New Zealand,
Le Dung: really?
Shimizu: yeah yeah,
Shimizu: there are many options to live at in NZ,
Shimizu: but my previous flatmate pur advertisement on a website to find a flatmate,
Shimizu: and it was very attractive for me,
Shimizu: she said there were many artists there, you could go to the beach by five minutes walk,
Shimizu: and so on.
Le Dung: and then
Shimizu: That's why I came here and as a refult I found there were very few competitors.
Shimizu: And that competitors' skill isn't so good as mine.
Le Dung: interesting
Shimizu: They have a lot of fund and many workers,
Shimizu: so total power factor might be bigger than me,
Shimizu: but at the individual level, I'm better than them.
Shimizu: I can be more flexible and provide service cheaper.
Le Dung: I see
Le Dung: but how could you get customers?
Shimizu: ah~~
Shimizu: There is a local newsletter.
Le Dung: why did they believe/choose you?
Shimizu: I put my Ad that's very cheap, maybe about 500 yen.
Shimizu: ah~~
Shimizu: I'm quite famous around this area,
Shimizu: because I was on TV and write a column every month to the newsletter.
Shimizu: there is almost no asian here,
Shimizu: so I stand out.
Le Dung: eh, you are good at public relation
Shimizu: ahah thanks
Shimizu: I just wanted to deepen friendship with locals, and contribute on local community.
Shimizu: What I do is to contribute on them in IT.
Le Dung: eh
Le Dung: so about your benifit, is it enough to survive?
Shimizu: ah~~
Shimizu: actually it wasn't enough.
Shimizu: but,
Shimizu: I don't think I grew up my business enough,
Shimizu: I mean I could do more if I could stay longer.
Shimizu: because,
Shimizu: monthly profit was increase every month.
Shimizu: $200,
Shimizu: $300,
Shimizu: $500.
Shimizu: $500=50000yen
Le Dung: that is good for a beginner
Shimizu: $500 was January.
Shimizu: yeah yeah,
Shimizu: I was a beginner of business,
Shimizu: but I think I did quite well.
Le Dung: the very first step is the most difficult
Shimizu: And after February, I needed to decline clients' orders and the profit dicreased.
Shimizu: oh yes!
Shimizu: I really think so!
Le Dung: yeah, I think so too
Shimizu: It's very difficult to generate 1 yen from 0 yen.
Shimizu: After that, you can automate it so that it incrases.
Le Dung: interesting
Shimizu:
Shimizu: yeh yeah,
Le Dung: and you plan to work in Japan soon
Shimizu: Yes,
Shimizu: After starting up the two businesses,
Shimizu: I lost my aim, didn't know what I should do.
