Investor for VS?!

Today met up with M and she said "i have a good news for you!".

Me: yes?

M: I have a investment banker friend whom recently promoted to the CEO of her department. She likes Japanese music and is interested to invest $ in this area. So, i thought you might be interested. However, she likes to "eagle-eyed" everything and believes very much in Feng shui. So, im not sure if that goes well with you. You can open a Japanese related shop with her $. She dont have time to run the biz. (Contradicting...coz she likes to eagle-eyed everything?!)

Me: Err,,no lah,,wait i lost all her $$.

M: She dont mind the money one..she has lots of it. It is just that she wants to invest in small biz in her area of interests. She said she dont want to be an investment banker till she retires. She hopes to do something she likes in the near future.

Me: (Change topic). Wah, she how old? She is progressing really well!~

M: She is the same age as you lah!~

Me: Oic,,wah,,i think im just a peanut in her eyes

M: No lah, she very easy going one.

Me: Hey, this bake rice is very delicious! (change topic)

Quite a surprise offer..but den,,i dont wish to have no control in this biz. Imagine there's always someone i need to report to and checking everything that i do.

People who has the most money can speak the loudest. Im worry about losing the freedom in this biz.

Actually im already quite worried when the e-commerce site starts. It means cant interact with customers anymore. Now waiting for the transfer of domain from one site to another site before the IT guy can start doing all the uploads.

Is it only for VS? I think last time you were interested in opening your own Jap shop right? Maybe you can try starting one full-time business with her, then keep your usual site so you at least have control over your usual site/shop?

Haha, dunno, just a suggestion. It's quite hard to be an independant shop without taking a loan beforehand I think. But I know what you mean, it sounds damn intrusive to have someone stare over your shoulder and tell you what to do. In the end, maybe you won't even like jap-related stuff anymore, then it'd be quite a waste.

ah small business investor :).

soo successful...i'm sure it was a lot of hard work.

yea, with the site you won't be able to talk with everyone as much :( BUT it'll up the profits considerably because kids this age are too lazy to figure out how to scroll through a blogspot -_-". baka.

OH! congradz on getting the gazette special! alot of my friends want to buy that issue. i was debating between that, versailles full album, and alice nine.'s DVD I and i ended up buying Versailles. i'm such a sucker for anything that has first press available :X.

but yes, just think on it and go with your gut instinct. i tend to, and it hasn't failed me yet...

does she want any percentage of your profit..?

but no matter what, visualshoxx is your baby and your friends' baby so remember to get input :).

oh! and u won't be able to miss me b/c i'm always here ;)!
