The village idiot of Las Vegas and some further thoughts on Chinatown...

I've been blogging about some ideas I've had for quite sometime; pretty much to no avail. Now, a few months ago I was fortunate enough to get my friend Kam talked into one (Kam is the guy I'm in cahoots with in Chinatown). The last few months the two of us have been spreading the word about a possible website that would sell and deliver food. Both of us believe a large number of restaurants in Chinatown could be aggregated on a website. As a matter of fact, we've taken the initiative of signing ten of them up. That's ten more then any of our potential competition has and we don't even have a website yet!

This week, I was planning on giving my Chinatown tour to a web developer friend of mine who was in town for a conference. We were unable to match our schedules up while he was in town and thus I was not able to show him what I've been blogging about. I was disappointed, because I promised another friend of mine whom I had given the tour to previously (potential investor) that I would give him a good idea of what a website would entail. Obviously, I didn't get the opinion I was anticipating; but not to worry, I'll find someone else.

I've been sitting in front of my computer for the last hour thinking about how I should put my belief's across in a layman's way- Imagine a Chinese version of the 'Roaring 20's. Consumerism is the word of the day in most  Asian societies and all signs say that it will remain that way for the foreseeable future. On the other hand, if you look at where things are headed as pertains to the American economy; draw your own conclusion; mine isn't that promising. Asian consumers are being bred at a rapid rate while their American counterparts have grown stagnant. If you've got the entrepreneurial spirit like me; you tend to develop a strong opinion on where things are headed. My research says it's a waste of time to target American businesses and consumers for the idea I'm proposing, at least initially. Competition has already saturated the market place! On the other hand, if you look at Chinatown and the Asian population as a whole. Competition for a business like the one I'm proposing is virtually non-existent!

I like to end every post of mine with a thought I'm having...Call it the village idiot thought of the day. "Most people won't believe this, or care, but I've done a ton of legwork on the idea I'm describing. Admitting so, I've done a poor job of getting the message across. With that said, I believe my blog is starting to go stale so I've decided to change things up a bit. I'm going to start making things VISUAL!! I hope people won't mind seeing my fat ass on video; I promise I'll do my best to keep things brief and informative."
