a.The Generations Game - A Worked Example

The last part is here:   Capital - How did It All Begin

The news is here:   Penang Monthly - Migrate for What

A short excerpt:

... For migrants who came to Australia back in the 1960s, the 1970s or even the 1980s, their decision to migrate would have benefitted them much more than if they were to do it today. Back in those days, Malaysia was still not adequately developed, modernised and industrialised. Foreign direct investments, education and infrastructure were definitely a far cry from today’s standards. Particularly for the average Malaysian professional, his or her work would have been much more richly rewarded in Australia than back home.

If a Sudanese or Afghan were to migrate to Australia today, then I can say with almost absolute certainty that their lives will be better off. But today’s Malaysians had better think twice. Jobs are moving in big numbers from Australia to Asia; Australian educational institutions are failing many of their own students, with many schools (even public ones) turning to attracting more students from China, Korea and other Asian countries for financial reasons; drug-related crimes and schoolyard bullying are becoming more rampant; and the total cost of income support (i.e. welfare) payment has now (as of 2014) topped A$70bil a year. 

These trends and developments are here to stay, and the shift of fortune from the West to the East is an irreversible one. Investor Jim Rogers frequently remarked that if you were smart in 1807, you would go to London, if you were smart in 1907, you would go to New York, but if you were smart in 2007, you would go to Asia. (In 2007, Rogers moved his entire family to Singapore.) 

So I wonder, why on earth are we still leaving Malaysia? What are we actually running away from? While most of us think that we are running away from some potential or real political threat, the actual fact might well be that we are running away from some real lifetime opportunities! With market saturation and an ageing population in the EU, US, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and China, the Asean region, with its population size, relatively young median age and richness in natural resources, is poised to grow like never before. ...

Interesting read. These people are still trying to time the market.

There is no such thing as timing the market. One would get lucky once a while. Just like in the casino, one can ride a 25-times BIG roll of dice. But, the curtains would fall one day, the dice would go the other way. Every great city would meet its demise, so would one empire.

If one must time the market, then if one judges that there is no hope in a turn-around. Just pack the bags and move. Which is true in the case of that fuckened little island. No resource, no future, no intelligence and still dare to suck my cock. Disgusting.

10 years is too short an example to a generations game. Even 20 years, my acquaintance is planning to return to her ex-home country. I am not helping her to stay even if I am just new to the game. Why? Too frequently mere acquaintances take dim looks of new immigrants. They felt that the new migrants must feed the older migrants or the older migrants feeding the locals, otherwise, the locals would have voted the government-of-the-day out. I am into packed hunting. Not only in business, also in gals. Co-operation is a powerful tool to deploy.

Let's take a look at Australia's opportunities (I am a blur-fuck in Australia's opportunities, but I am willing to try understanding her from the outside):
  • Cities - Her cities are not as crowded as the Asian's, hence, they stand a great chance to win if one is early. That fuckened little island did talk about famous katong laksa. Overnight 4 stores competed in the exact same location for the customers. Today only one left. Dense cities are not for the faint-hearted. Try your hands in Chinese cities, one would be eaten whole without much of a second glaze from the predator's neighbours.
  • Glass Ceilings - Of cos there are glass ceilings. Tell me frankly, how many non-Chinese dine in Chinese restaurants here and overseas. Zero! How many Japanese or Koreans can one spot in a Chinese restaurants? Please. How many non-Chinese staff can one see in a Chinese restaurant's kitchen? The conclusion: Every business are owned and operated by their kinship, make no mistake. Even in my work, I employed no non-Chinese even though all my work involved the whites and white agents.
  • Property Investments - White properties are way cheaper but appreciate much slower. First, one must start with a house home. After that, investment houses for passive returns. After that, lands for long term potential. Malaysian properties are super nice. I can't finish enjoying each of them. But, so are the white properties.
  • Businesses - Not easy to start but once started, it is easy to sustain. 30 years is a good investment.
  • Employments - Nothing wrong with that. But one needs to start young. If reach the white shores at 40-50yo, then be prepared to reinvest the money that one's gotten or ill-gotten from ex-home country to plant the first seeds.
  • Back Doors - I always keep a back door for myself. I am still fully invested in the ex-home country and her neighbours. I am still doing passive incomes from each and every asset in my command. Over time, these assets might deteriorate due to lack of care. Minding them occasionally will bring them up once more.
  • Generations Games - Bring forth the next generations to fulfill key business positions in the own business structure. Let them fail and guard them to better success than the parents.
  • Intellectually Dumb - There is a need to be intellectually dumb. Never question why but just do the jobs. In the Malaysians' case, they allowed their anger for lack of opportunities in their ex-home country to cloud their visions. They like to do total in and total out. Yes. Total in and total out are grand moves. These are showy steps. Admired by all. But, yield very little results. The mantra is Things Take Time.
  • Education - Educating kids are not the job of the school but that of the parents. There is no such thing as good school but good parenting.
It is easier said than done. But, that's what generations game is all about. Very slow. Very unfortunate. Very disgustingly degrading. But, one will find the footing soon enough. Evreywhere I see, as long as you are 30yo immigrants, you are alright. So be brave and stick to the original game plan. It is not that hard. Be early and smell the rose.

I do understand why muds left mudland due to the madhatter. Now that with ahJip kor in charge, things are super rosy. People are now tempted to return. Nothing wrong, just be invested in both countries lor. Better, globally. One can never tell when is the next mass exodus.

Yes. I finally got it. There is indeed a timing issue in the generations game, i.e., be early. Wow ... what a revelation. But, 30 years can recover this mistake, i.e., once you reach 30 years in migration, you are classified as early. Nice.

Always remember that fuckened mafia boss was a Baba-Nyonya. So don't play with him on that little island, now that he is strong. Wait for him to go, then replay the generations game again lor. One has all the time in the world lah. Do battle using extended families mah.

b.Capital - Energy Units

The last part is here:   Capital - The curse of Loan 

Let me start off with a show:   Dragon Heart

“A knight is sworn to valour.
His heart knows only virtue.
His blade defends the helpless.
His might upholds the weak.
His word speaks only truth.
His wrath undoes the wicked.” 

This is a very good show. It is light but heavy in meaning.

Only about 1000 years, we were under the greedy reigns of kings and knights. After 1000 years, we are not so different. Now we are still plundered by the so-called "democratically-elected" rulers. Dictator Saddam Hussein had 100% parliamentary support. The rings of Animal Farm and Josef Stalin stayed real close. One would be greatly protected if you are under such tortures to leave immediately. Along the way, there would be adjustment pains, but do bear with it for the sake of the next generations. Don't be selfish and think only about yourself. Live a life that is humble and safe. Your family clan will thank you.

Living in the white land is not easy. It involves great inconveniences such as integrating with them. But, if you want your family tree to continue growing. It would have to be the case.

Energy Units

When Japan was booming up to the 1980s, the properties in Tokyo can go for $10k psf. The Japanese were snobbish as if they conquered the world by their cheap-and-good products. They were almost unstoppable. Immediately after, Japan plunged into a depression that lasted at least 3 decades. it is still on-going while we speak. This trend continued with the 4 little dragons and the big dragon.

Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain (PIIGS) were in deep trouble by 2008. USA were in deep shit too. The loans the governments borrowed were huge. Every person wants their smart phones, notebooks, latest techie stuff, large TVs, hand-bags and many more. Soon the Chinaman would be next. The citizens simply over-consumed.

Countries like Canada and Australia sell their minerals and oil deposits to receive cash. This is also not sustainable.

We must understand the meaning of energy units, money is just a piece of rubbish paper. Every day the sun deliver energy to earth, nourishing it with energy. The plants and the trees captured this energy and stored it within their bodies. The animals consume these plants to nourish themselves. The humans consume both the animals and plants for these energy units. But there were too many of us. So some (I think is all) countries will dig and consume stored energy units in the form of oil deposits and minerals. Oil deposits and minerals took millions of years to construct, so although their energy units are high but once plundered, the units would not be so easily replaced, hence, the term "non-renewable".

So if you want to have a safe living, you must never consume more than what the sun can deliver. That way, these energy units are renewable and ever present. That's the reason why I always suggest delaying the development of the land for higher usage such as hotels and shopping malls.

Now that the autumn and soon winter is coming, I noticed a great increase in selling of very large buildings going for a song. Properties in Detroit, after the demise of the motor industries, are now so cheap that you would not believe it. Properties such as schools, churches and government offices in white land are now for sale to the highest bidder.

So if you consume more than what the sun can supply, very soon you would be forced to borrow and once your borrow, the land will soon be taken away. Be honest to yourself, consume humbly. Buy enough land to feed the entire family. Learn to live off the land. If there is sufficient extra, go for a little trip around the world.

For that fucken little island, the end is near. My partner-in-crime always suggested that "everything we do, we must be sustainable. Not only in terms of work output, but also consumption."

Let's enjoy the show ... I meant "Dragon Heart" ... LOL ...
