Farmer & Businessman & Consumer


Because of searching a job, I found a general but unfamiliar phenomenon about hard farmers in Taiwan. These hardest farmers didn't get a reasonable income after they endeavored for almost whole year. The qualities of their rice and fruit were better than the average of these goods imported from other countries; however, the return they got was lower than what they should gain. They couldn't sell their products in a "right" price. In addition, consumers still have to pay higher price to buy these food, and sometimes they couldn't obtain the same quality of these goods which were from these hard farmers. Why? What happened? Where is the money? Who takes it away surreptitiously? I don't understand this event completely, but some people and reports showed me that there is another group between farmers and consumers, businessmen. These businessmen not only pressed down the price of the farm produce when they purchased them from farmers, but also raised the selling price to get more benefit from consumers. They didn't work as hard as farmers, but they do get much more than anybody. Moreover, these businessmen tried to adopt a bill to prohibit farmers from selling their products by themselves. It is disgusting!! I was a businessman. Maybe that's why I can't comprehend this appearance of things before. I was in it. But now I am really sad to know this unfair situation which is existing in the society long enough.
A company what is hiring employees which are good at marketing and sales. The company is composed of around 50 farmers. They try to play the role of businessman to sell their goods and protect their benefit. They claimed that this behavior to be businessmen is an adventure for them because they are still farmers inside. They did this because they had to and must did it. I gave them my resume to see if I can offer some of my abilities to grow up the company but I haven't get any response yet. Maybe they found that I was a businessman totally, and it is terrible and dangerous to work with "real" businessman as staying with a wild animal. :(
I wish they can operate that company successfully. They have to understand that their compositors are these starving businessmen who are cold and crude when they deal with "money". How these farmers can survive between these wild animals? Wish them lucky....

Schedule


Is there a most proper timing to achieve a specific accomplishment? What I am sure is that there are always lateness and earliness. Some guys are lucky to find their way to go straight to their aims. Some are not such lucky, but they are still find other unusual ways to arrive the destinations. However, maybe few people never find the narrow and blurred roads when they spend their short lives in the world. Recalling my past life, unexpected schools, people, jobs were unexpectedly filled it. Is it kind of a classic disaster? lol! I wish it is not because the TV station might want me to be their guest to explain how I feel about my unusual experience. OK. Actually, my schedule "is" that after I am back home, I will submit application to an ICDF to go abroad and then I will be content to be a worker in my left life. Additionally, I have plan B which is to serve in a foreign company for a ling time if I can. I consider about the rules which I made and I try to destroy them now. I wonder I can do it successfully but it is interesting to challenge the stuff what the guy built previously. It is the third month I spend on thinking, so I feel it is time to "do", to move forward. Even something stupid. Be hungry, be foolish; Be brave, be smart; Be humorous, be unexpected; Be positive, be confident. Be confident, be confident.
