I was at A-Jay's place on August 30 when one of A-Jay's friend, Mr. Chieu, dropped by to give A-Jay vegetables grown from his organic garden. Mr. Chieu is about my age; he had been a colleague of Pei-liang, A-Jay's daughter. From the conversation with Mr. Chieu at A-Jay's place, I have learned about Mr. Chieu's story.
Mr. Chieu grew up in a family with a father who was addicted to the gambling. His dad lost all the belongings in gambling. Mr. Chieu, although excelled in the junior high school, was forced out of school after he finished his junior high school. He then went to work in the same corporation as Pei-Liang and was promoted many times in the corporation. He then made a dazzling move on his career in the 80's. He quit the corporation job and started on his own business with the machinery manufacturing which he knew nothing at the very beginning. Because of his hard work and quick mind in learning new things, he had successfully secured few patents of his own and made profits out of these patents. Right now, he had contract with US industries. His factory employs about 80 persons. He is a successful Taiwanese entrepreneur story.
