How Did You Start Your Lanshop Business? When?
Sept 5, 2005. with just 14 units. 400K capital. I consulted a fengsui expert and got his blessing. He advised me to open the shop on Sept 5, 2005 no more no less, with 2 wks time, I converted an old supposedly HAUNTED, dirty, rat infested rice storage house to one of the most talked about tambayans in MCU. I hired 2 team of carpenters, 2 electricians. I assembled, the PCs with the help of my brother and a neighbor. I also got scared of NBI and BSA so I invested. With the help of my relatives, and 2 banks, DEN-R internet was built. What is your worst experience as a LANshop Owner?On the first week of operation, I only offered internet because I don’t know what games to install, I’m a programmer not a gamer. Gamers keep coming in they asked for DOTA, CS, I dont understand. I only offered pacman and marvel vs capcom game first day, 400.00 sales. First week, 900 pesos sales/day. I went to the fengsui expect again for help. After a while, I surfed and joined ULOP.NET it changed the way I operated my lansop.
What do you enjoy about being a lanshop owner?
Its very, very challenging. Kung may problem sa network, kung matopak ung printer, kung may virus ung diskette, kung di mag run ang isang game, lahat kailangan hanapan nang solusyon.Kung may promo yung kakumpitensya mo, isip ka nang pangkontra. (Nagpa CS Source tournament sila. Nagsponsor kami dito nang isang team who I knew were good. Tama ako. They won 1st place. Hanggang ngayon naka paskil pa rin mga certificates nila sa shop namin). Sino ngayon ang dinadayo?And the best challenge ever, shop-development. Kung papaano mo gagawing conducive ang shop. Remove some programs, install some programs, headset use, upuan na kakaiba pero comfy, wallpaper nang desktop, cover nang pa burn at pati anggulo nang monitor, napagisipang mabuti.
What do you enjoy doing most?
I like to tweak tinker and explore my PCs, and 2 service vehicles. I love cars, I love to drive, after work, I love to spend time with my computer browse ULOP, expertexchange, read magazines like BYTE, DR. Dobbs, FHM.
Do you have any hidden talent?
singing, drawing, designing artworks, programming. interest for motorsports import tunig, that’s why shops’ name is DEN-R dennis-Racing.What kind of stuff do you dream of doing, but haven’t gotten to do?Opening a computer learning center, mobile DTP stations, franchising DEN-R, mobile internet cafe
