Sour grapes....Originally posted by cavinkoh:please man, 26, running 6 companies, she the CO of your camp is it? or 6 internet startup companies?
if she is that sucessful, don't need 6 companies, she would have consolidated it into one company with 6 divisions. wah lau, ZZZZzzzzz
anyways, a woman who claims to be that busy must have something to do to unwind. massage is a good one. Find out what she likes and go do it with her. don't waste your freaking time with sms, with "6 companies" no time for sms, instead find out what activities she like, and entertain her that way.
6 companies? come on man, alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, echo, foxtrot company is it? is major ah?
Well if she have 6 companies, then she be very busy. Anyway she would have no time to play games of sms - I miss u & u miss me type of message. She will find that too childish.Originally posted by leilan84:but yet whenever i sms or call her, she only reply and ans my call only occasionally. and she don't like it if i sms her telling her that i miss her and if i ask if she miss me.
A woman can do anything she wants to do, I have not sexist views that you are implying. I was only commenting on the age and not her sexual orientation. I agree it was foolish of me to judge that a 26 year old cannot run 6 companies, but I just think that it does not make good business sense to split up 6 companies. And the original post might have over stated the number of companies she might have owned.Originally posted by laosu:Sour grapes....
Why can't a woman at the age of 26 own 6 companies?
For your information, only idiot boss will consolidate all into one single company. One down all down. At least with 6 companies, one down and you still have 5 other companies. Please think before you comment on this.
Irony.I love to do those things as a guy but I have been accused of being boring.I'm only in my early twenties and I think im on the wrong side of the fence.In the past, I've been labelled boring etc.Originally posted by FeowFeow:Yah lorr... When I'm frustrated at work, what I wanna do when I meet my partner, is to speak to him on an adult level, what I experience, & have proper, rational & intelligent suggestions on how to solve a problem, rather than, "Go HOOT that guy! Go & bang table, plus all sorts of profanities whatever, etc"
I like nights curled up in front of the TV with a good movie on & having peppermint chocolate chip ice cream compared to "cheonging" at pubs (c'mon, at my age, excessive alcohol ruins the skin). I'm No longer into the adrenalin rush, nor do I crave to see & be seen whilst clubbing etc. Once in awhile, it's ok, but Not on a regular basis anymore.
True, sometimes I do miss the excitement of being young, but at this stage of my life, life is too short to stress about things & rushing about when I'm Not at work. Gimme a simple life (minus the temper tantrums) anyday
And yes, MANY view me as harsh. But I don't believe in sugar-coating words. If you're a man, take it, I dare you

I do agree with you in some sense but having 6 companies with 6 different accountants to deal with the figures is hard work but not impossible. "6" is already a small amount comparing to the one I know of. She's in her mid 30s but she had 10 totally different companies dealing with different trade and she's still doing extremely well. If she has the capability, I don't see why should one stick to just one trade.Originally posted by cavinkoh:A woman can do anything she wants to do, I have not sexist views that you are implying.

I know the difference between consolidation and diversification. For your stock portfolio is great to diversify and lower your risks. But when i comes to the businesses she runs, she can have 6 different companies, which means she has to hire 6 different accounting and auditing firms, and also it is harder to have your company directions and strategis to align. There are also many extra taxes and expenses to pay for when there are diversification of 6 different companies. On paper it definitely does not make sense, unless her businesses are so unique that each of them needs a seperate business.
When 6 companies consolidate into one, they are treated as branches of the parent company. If one of these branches (or companies if you like to call it) does not make money or is making a loss, you can always close down that branch. Its like a stock portfolio or mutual fund. if one of your stock is under performing, just sell it and buy another one that will only affect your portfolio a little bit, it won't affect your whole portfolio.
Why does mediacorp or SPH have different newspapers or TV channels but all under one company. Why does the government have departments instead of privatizing all the deparments. All these efforts are to give more control to the chariman or CEO. There are also more advantages and also disadvantages, but usually the pros outweighs the cons. I would not consider these companies foolish without knowing their company background.
REAL business examples are like AT&T and microsoft, or any monopolies, courts find them guilty and breaks the business up into smaller businesses, this is because it is much harder when your resources are spread out.

I know running 10 companies at the same time can be done, you can even drive with your feet if you want to. But that doesn't mean you should do it. It is just not profitable and doesn't make good business sense. Does creative have a company for zen, for their sound blaster, for their speakers and for their keyboard?Originally posted by laosu:I do agree with you in some sense but having 6 companies with 6 different accountants to deal with the figures is hard work but not impossible.

As for SPH, true they have different papers but then it's entirely for different purposes but still in the "papers" trade. It's an entirely different scenario.
You still don't understand what the hell I'm talking about issit? Who's talking about setting up a company for a sound blaster and another company for a speaker and another company for whatever it is?Originally posted by cavinkoh:I know running 10 companies at the same time can be done, you can even drive with your feet if you want to.

Or does Apple have different businesses for itunes, ipod and the apple computers? does citibank seperate their banking, stock market, property development into different companies? its cheaper to build one brand name then 10. It is also easy to drop one and create another. you also cannot imagine how expensive account and tax fees are. What are these 10 or 6 companies your so called friends are running? I'll be sure to take it out of my stock portfolio.
SPH is not a different story, it is the same as all the other companies above. They expand their markets and diversify their market share, and since they have the monoploy in singapore they don't have to work too hard. SPH also diversified into properties, why didn't the owners or the government just setup another company? one of the reason is that they have to transfer the money to another account and fall under another tax bracket, and also pay more taxes during the transfer and taxes on cashing out the profits. 10 companies, simply does not make sense. You can have 1 company with 10 divisions with different names, like Toyota makes camry, Lexus and the Scion. The list goes on.
Sucessful companies just merge and consolidate. they don't spilt and divide

Apple is a company and itunes, ipod and the other computers are it's products! Citibank is a company and banking, stock market and property developement are it's services!! I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT BRAND NAMES!!! I"M TALKING ABOUT COMPANIES DEALING WITH DIFFERENT THINGS TOTALLY!! *haiz* Anyone else here don't understand what I'm trying to say?
