Last year a Malaysian man approach me to get wine import license. North government refused to issue..even the Malaysian man willing to pay USD 60,000 for that license!
Whole system is very complicated...a lot of travelling as well.
3rd year and my boss's boss took me in and i flew to Hanoi and worked for him for 3 years. Introduced a Malaysian friend to work for him last year as i felt it's enough for me. Found a rich Hanoi boss and help him to take care of his restaurants business. He open restaurants for his passion, that is how rich he is. Flew back to Saigon as wife dun really like to settle down in North. Second boss buy me an apartment in Dist 8 as a gift when i left. Just bought another apartment in Dist 2 for my wife. We are currently staying in Dist 2 new apartment while Dist 8 apartment is rented out to a Singaporean.
