The guy from a little island today tried to win me back by giving me things for free and in lieu. The value of these things may or may not be greater than his rescinded contract.

A business empire is never built in a single day. When will a business be called a business empire? It is only when it is big and it has gone through many rounds of pain. For each growth, it must be nourished by trusted lieutenants. Without these trusted lieutenants, the business can never be a business empire. Each lieutenant is both an important ring of power and an indigenous member of inner circle.

一身转战三千里, 一剑曾挡百万师。
