Monday was an extremely busy day. The whole morning and front half of the afternoon were focused towards the Viet Thai International Joint Stock Company/ Highland Coffee. In the morning we were spoken to by Dan Thai the second in command of the Viet Thai company about how him and his brother have gotten to where they are today and also gave us business advice. He is an extremely intelligent man who is very business savvy. Then the manager of the Hard Rock Café in Ho Chi Minh City, which is owned by Viet Thai. He spoke to us about his life and what he does as manager of a Hard Rock Café. We ate lunch at the Café then proceeded to Viet Thai’s commercial retail mall where we shopped for a little while.
When the time came we went to a Highlands Coffee and met with the manager and spoke with him for a little about his life, the coffee, the companies plans for the future and he also answered questions. I was extremely interested in what he had to say considering I am extremely interested in doing business internationally.
After this I went back to the hotel to change and get ready to go to Ben Tan Market to do some shopping. I was extremely successful bargaining with the Vietnamese although we don’t speak the same language. I was very happy with the gifts a got for friends and family.
