@Wangan.

It's good to see that you start early and have earned a decent money. Bear in mind that, you need to strive harder in order to get to a higher height.

Anyway, doing contracts for government/big companies is a good thing. Just remember to keep your cash flow as liquid as possible. You never know when they will hold/delay/freeze your payment. I myself is undertaking government contracts, and I only take what im able to chew. If my cashflow is not able to cater for 3 months emergencies/contingency fund, I will not consider taking the contract.

Good luck.

Most SMEs  that I know of cannot afford :-

1) Political link
2) Government link, and or
3) Police link

Costs exceed benefits in the long run. And Cashflow is another matter to look into it.

Even Bankers avoid loans to political links.

And there is no law to say that SMEs are guaranteed to be paid by Big Companies. And do provide some budgets for the worst case scenario.

Yup, it's about the price.

Sending items using agents can get you special quotations that you can't get from those logistics directly, that's a major plus.

Oh yeah meanwhile,

Anybody wants to send anything? MSG ME!

Sori, I do not have any associations with these group  of companies,  a in way quite innocent.

But I just read  an article saying wealth created over the past 30 years or so by using this method  , only 3% increase the almost.

If you intend to use this method again and again , do expect another 3% growth for the next coming 20 years.

Of course , some could do much better than others even if they do not go into businesses.

And I refer to Real  Wealth Creations > like those real efforts put in by the China or Indian men, and many others.

And by the way, do we need another 50 years to do test  run on another Policy ( NEM ) coming soon ?

You think you got me wrong.

What I mean the Costs to network these high flying political people would exceed the benefits in the long run.

As you said earlier, if you factor in these networking costs , actual costs of putting up   a  proper Building  would exceed the profit. So earning a super thin profit.

So a possible of making money is to do less networking . Perhaps cutting down rom 10 layers of networks  to 2 layers to save costs.

And Not every networking that you do would produce good results, you still need to do some proper filtering.

Even you could get lot of business from networking, there is no guarantee that you get  prompt payments or paid at all.

So another round of begging , goes go and go.

Eventually costs are exceeding benefits, by a big margin.

Otherwise,  buildings would not collapse so easily. There is nothing wrong with networking here. It is high cost per se.

In short, they just cannot afford  the high costs of Networking. Not the problem of they do not know how to do.

And If you could write a book on how to Network effectively ( with min costs ) , perhaps  could potentially a  Best Seller in Malaysia.

You could also save many buildings from crackings or collapsing.

I get a bit of confused when people talk about " GREEDY "

But, I do believe what W Buffett says  about " Greedy " is the correct one , and I always believe so :-

Be Fearful when people are Greedy

Be Greedy when people are Fearful.

I put what he says in practice, and it works for me., though more fine tunes  have to be done.
Yes, it is  not so simple and straightforward as the words may sound. As you say, there are implications, I also agree 100%.

That is why I think and believe  he ( W Buffett )  is right. and  Knowing who to trust and who to believe is very important for me.

Not sure of others.
