The Goldenfinger

Invitation for the event

On Friday, I attending an interesting kick off meeting with a company and their partners. My dad's business was one of the partners. Anyways it was interesting because the company that was investing in all these partners shared some ambitious goals and how they planned on doing it. They wanted to make 100 million revenue in 10 years if I recall. It was a good learning experience and one of the key takeaways is that calling works to get a foot in for deals for certain businesses but you need to be simple and quick to the point. Apparently they developed a pretty good strategy for how to tackle the calling. Anyways another part I liked about the presentations was about reaching that 100 million mark. If his company only generated 1 million in a year he was like no problem we just get 100 companies to make 1 million each, 50 companies to make 2 million or 25 companies to make 4 million each. I really feel like they will pull it off. It definitely gave me some inspiration to maybe start my own business once I figure something out.

Anyways moving on from that, my first weekend of this year is pretty much chilling. Aside from the normal stuff of working, researching crypto and nft projects, blogging, watching anime etc, I will share the things that I do that are a bit more special and more out of the norm for me.

Today, I watched a movie called The Goldenfinger with my cousin. This movie was in Cantonese and the genre was a crime, drama type of movie. It's not super actiony but apparently it was inspired by a true story that happened with a famous conglomerate in the 1980s from Hong Kong called the Carrian Group. I did research through google after the movie on this but basically this group came out of nowhere and invested all over the place and had crazy loads of money. Anyways in the end, they just fell apart due to fraud and corruption and it was later found out that most of their money came from banking institutions loaning them money.


After the movie I actually wanted to let my cousin try this awesome sushi place but unfortunately it was quite packed and the queue was long so that plan faded. The photo I took was 9ish after I already had dinner with my cousin and the place closed at 9:30 and there was still a line outside so that's a bit crazy.

Then we had to move to Plan B which was to try this place called Paperfish which specializes in poke. Honestly, I don't know who came up with this name but I feel like it would scare customers away. They had a 4.7 star review average on google so it was worth a shot trying. In addition to that, my cousin never had poke before surprisingly so I wanted him to try it out since he might end up liking poke.

Overall, the food was great but I like this special siracha sauce that this other poke place makes which this place didn't have. My cousin also loved the poke and thought the portion was quite generous and filling. Thankfully, the fish didn't taste like paper!

Tomorrow, I will most likely be doing my typical stuff so today was a good relaxing day. Anyways that's all for my post. I hope you all have a great first weekend of the year!
