Please dont mistake dedication with Daddikasi.

The father spend millions on his useless son.

Number 5) is so true. Felt like drinking plastic.

He didnt make anything, he STOLE it. Plus he got his relatives and friends to pay for it all.

Like a true daddikasi narcissistic asshole that he is. People like him are really the scum of the earth.

A) he made the first move and most of the franchises open by family member.

B) they reached settlement outside of court.

C) cheap and abundant. Popular? That depends. It definitely not popular with those patrons who can afford proper beverages like starbucks or coffee bean. Personally, I drink Royal Tea is much better.

Tealive is for students or poor people. Cheap brand with cancer inducing products.

His character isn't something to admire.. sorry, business is all about reputation and this fella just shot his foot up.

There is a proper way to break a master franchise agreement and there is an improper way. Loo did it the improper way.

Also, if you intend to cheat your way through business and commit unethical behaviour, by all means, please follow Loo.

I tried tealive once, and found it bland. From a purely business ROI perspective, tealive is not so good to invest and open. Reason being, low margin of profit as compared to other kind of beverages.

He is a go-getter for sure and a formidable person with a willingness to take short cut and unethical approaches. I.e. using cheaper ingredients when he already had agreement with chatime to use theirs and steal the existing chatime shops to his tealive brand.

I think loo already made the first move by undercutting chatime supplier and not paying his master franchise agreement. That is the first true move. Given his cunning, i bet he already planned to execute this move from the start.

Chatime was never really a franchise. He only allowed close business partners, friends and relatives to invest. The rest, he open himself, with help of his rich father.

Sure, he can survive now that he has a monopoly. Time will only tell whether business close down or expands. Me personally, I think it will eventually close down. I cant see how selling oversaturated bubble tea can operate in so many shops and locations. The high labour cost, shop rental and logistics involved will just kill tealive. How does one maintain their quality and standards? It's just not sustainable.

Chatime tw brought it to supermarkets. No contract is broken.

I doubt Loo has full control on all chatime products that can be sold or not. He only bubble-tea shop franchise holder. He doesnt hold any exclusivity for all products.

So again, Loo is the one who made the first move to cut the franchise.

He bought from local supplier, you say leh.

I help you , you help me.
