Bro singviet is too nice and diplomatic in his answer...here my views after so many trips and looking at opportunities...no biz is guaranteed to make money in hcm...10k investment can only setup a small stall selling food, drinks, apparels, etc...dun think can earn 4k per mth...100k investment can setup a shop house selling food, cafe house, etc...maybe can earn 4k per mth...depends on location, management and turn over, etc...

Running a modest-size biz in HCM is really expensive. I know of a viet fren who recently started a salon and massage biz located in district 3 with her frens. Staff number about 20. Monthly rental of the place alone is about US$12k

wooh, think ur frd will be better off by buying the place. If he can afford 12k rental, he can actually just buy the whole place with bank installment lesser than that.

I can't be telling you what biz needs how much capital, and how much u can earn from it. No books will tell you this and doing biz has no SOP. But what i can say is DO SOMETHING U ARE FAMILIAR WITH.
oooic. maybe i should start small so the risk will be lesser. Maybe i can try setting up a lan/internet shop. Although there are millions of these shops ard in HCM, it seems that it is 1 of the few shops that are constantly fillup with customers. thks for ur input thou.

hello...running this biz in hcm is not consider modest but relatively big biz...USD12k rental means renting at least 3 to 4 stories liao...average salary is USD100 x 20 = USD2,000.00 per month...so monthly fixed expenditure will be around USD20,000.00...I think the renovation and equipments cost will be at least USD 100k above...

Well bro I did not ask much details so cannot comment on the scale of biz. But heard from her that if do whole package ie. haircut + facial + manicure + pedicure (cannot remember include massage or not) the charges come up to about SGD$120. Not too sure how this compares with charges of similar setup over there. I think you are much more qualified to comment on this

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner

Some comments I've read in a site on informal rules for doing business in vietnam:

1) Learn about saving face.
2) Remember that we, expats, will always be a guest here in Vietnam no matter the length of time we spent here
3) Have a lot of patience.
This is a wonderful place to live and i am happy I am here. I have learned to live by the above 3 rules at all times.

Never assume anything, even if you have a signed contract in black and white. If you have to resort to collections or taking someone to court, you can forget about that deal.

"Chử tín" is one of the famous word in the vietnamese traditional behavour/cultur, but it seems to change. A deal will not be found if promises/words can not be hold whether in vietnam nor elswhere.[/COLOR]
The golden rule is : Always expect the un-expectable. Because it's what happens.

Contrary to others answers on this thread, I dont agree with this "loosing face" issue. There's no big deal. Just be polite and everything will be fine. Furthermore, you will quickly realize that people want to save their face, but they have no problem to make you loose yours.

Few other rules:
- Patience is essential
- People in business have 20 years late on the western business practices
- Standard of quality is very low
- Speaking VN opens any door
- Most of management boards are filled with idiots.
- Business is often a family matter. Which explains why you find so many idiots (a good family connection gives a top management position, instead of skills and experience)
- Get prepared to make lot of "gifts" to people in various public administrations. Thats the only way to get the papers quickly.

For me, to do business in Vietnam requires much greater effort and attention to the 3Ps: Preparation, Patience, Perseverance.

I have not found "face" ever to be much of an issue if you understand that the VN party may be forced (through whatever reason), to reverse a previously agreed decision. If you jump up and down and create a "scene" about "contractual obligations" or whatever, things will only get worse.

However, if you give some ground (i.e. "... maybe we did not fully understand the XYZ, let's blah blah blah, ...") with a conciliatory approach, deals DO get made.

Thomas is right that speaking Vietnamese is a huge advantage ... SOMETIMES, but one that must be used wisely. Although I speak very fluently, and have done so for nearly 20 years, I always insist on having an impartial interpreter during critical negotiations. As a professional translator, I always insist that contracts be in both languages ... and I have final approval of the English version because I understand the Vietnamese.

Thomas' comment about "good family connections" is also right on the money! As an ex-teacher of 20th century Vietnamese history, I can say that this attitude has its roots in an extended period of wartime political and governmental upheaval. Those situations make business very problematic when you have to trust people via a contract which the law may or may not recognize tomorrow, next week or next year. Better to "keep things in the family". Totally understandable in my book, however short-sighted that attitude may be in the modern Vietnam.

If anybody cares for any more, prompt me with another question, position or situation
