Nelson's Cafe in Universiti Utara Malaysia

I’m taking Franchising Business subject this semester! And, recently I and my group members are doing an assignment regarding to franchise business.

We have to visit one of the franchisee, interview him or her and prepare a report for our lecturer.

We have chosen Nelson’s Café in Universiti Utara Malaysia. Before Hari Raya, we interviewed the franchisee of Nelson’s Café in UUM, Mr. Ooi Ghee Keong.

I believe that many students can’t have their meal in Nelson’s Café after Hari Raya holidays; some people don’t know why they have closed down for many days! Since we’ve interviewed them, so we get to know that their tender contract (2007-2010) of the location in UUM has expired. As a result, they have to stop Nelson’s Café business.

It is a favorite café for some students, for meeting, for group discussion, for gathering and so on! And, now we have no chance to enjoy the foods and beverage served by Nelson’s Café in UUM!

To let more people know more about the history Nelson’s Café in UUM and Nelson’s in Malaysia, I have uploaded my presentation slide to share with everyone!

High Profit or Go Green?

While we are encouraging people to Go Green, reduce plastic bottle, my Entrepreneurship Seminar lecturer encourage us to run a mineral water business which can sell around 1000 mineral water per day with a very high profit margin! (I'm not critiquing but this really makes me angry)

I agreed that the cost is low for a plastic bottle mineral water, but imagine that 1000 wasted bottles per day, 30000 plastic bottles per month! 

It has a big negative impact on the environment, and it is not encourage people to practice eco-friendly! I still stand stand with my opinion, entrepreneurs have the responsibility to take care of the environment, don't you think so?

Maybe my lecturer should change another way, how to innovate the mineral water, make it eco-friendly while it is still profitable...
In my opinion, Environmental Sustainability should be included on entrepreneurship education to create more social responsibility business leaders!
The Impact of climate change is higher than World War! It is about our future, and the future of our next generation! Hence, everyone has the responsibility to take care of the environment! 

The awareness should has more increment, not only "say and know", but the real action to Green it!

OSK Investment Challenge

Participated on OSK Investment Challenge recently, it is held by OSK, a virtual investment game for college and university students. All participants were given RM100,000 game credits to trade in the investment challenge game. The game period is from August to October, it is a very good game for the students to learn about investment in Malaysia / KLSE, being explored to investment knowledge! I believe that it can train many future investors!

How to participate? You just need to visit http://www.oskic.com/ and register a new account! After that, you can start the transaction!

There is on thing that many people do not know which is the Trading PIN of the game, it has caused many people can trade in the game! The trading PIN is “oskic1”!

Through this Investment Challenge, we are able to learn how to calculate the buying and selling price of a company share, how to buy and sell company share, how to get the news about a company share!

However, to become a professional investor, there are more to learn, you have to analyze the industry, the company, the volume, movement of market oversea and so on!

And here are some basic knowledge for you to invest.

How to calculate BUYING price:

1 Lot = 100 unites

SOGOSG (Sogo Studio Group) Buying Price/Unit: RM1.040

Buying Lots: 50

Processing fees (Including Brokerage fees): 0.42%

The Buying Price (Before Processing Fees): 50 (Lots) x 100 (Units) x 1.040 = RM5200

Processing Fees: 5200 x 0.42% =RM21.84

The Actual Buying Price (Including Processing Fees): RM5200 + RM21.84 = RM5221.84

How to calculate SELLING price:

SOGOSG Selling Price/Unit: RM1.060

Selling Lots: 50

Processing fees (Including Brokerage fees): 0.42%

The Selling Price (Before Processing Fees): 50 (Lots) x 100 (Units) x 1.060 = RM5300

Processing Fees: 5300 x 0.42% =RM22.26

The Actual Selling Price (Including Processing Fees): RM5300 – RM22.26 = RM5277.74

So, if you buy SOGOSG (Sogo Studio Group) market share for 50 Lots at RM1.040/unit, and sell 50 Lots at RM1.060/unit, your earning will be

RM5277.74 – RM5221.84 = RM55.90

What you need to memorize are:

1 Lot = 100 Units Share

Processing Fees for Buying Online= 0.42%

It is very easy to calculate buying and selling price, you just need to do some exercise or practice, and knowing the processing fees!

In the future, you may visit OSK Investment Bank to buy the favorite company market shares with your own money which you think its value can increase in the future!

Good luck!
