New Projects


Most of my week has been spent working on the accounting system which I am developing, as well as aiding in any way I can to help prepare for our upcoming product launch. I have also been working on gathering some research for a similar product that we will, hopefully, also be able to launch.

Earlier this week I met my third, and final, boss, Danny Shum. He showed me around the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park where our office is located, and showed me some of the other buildings. Near the end of the week he asked me to work on a new project, which I am very excited to be working on. I am using the knowledge I have gained in almost every subject I have taken at UOIT so far to develop a presentation for possible future angel investors, so that we can take our new product even further. Designing this presentation has been very difficult, but incredibly interesting so far. I think that, thus far, this project has required the most use of my business education. I have to review all areas of the business, as well as focus in from an accounting point of view, what would make this a viable investment? Also, how can I most effectively convey this information in a way that will not only attract an investors’ attention, but also entice them to invest.

My time outside of work has mostly been spent shopping in one of the never-ending number of malls in Hong Kong, as well as discovering new foods. Another student and I found a unique dessert shop near the nest. It’s interesting to see the changes Chinese restaurants make to foods from other cultures, to make it their own. I’ve seen this done many times at various restaurants where things look familiar, but are slightly adjusted to fit with the culture in Hong Kong, and the tastes they are accustomed to.
