QUOTES

  • “So, those are the two models. Resale is one of them, and then being a processing center, being a processing center is another piece of the business.” - Dennis Hoang
  • “We don't believe in micromanaging. If you work for us, you should essentially know what you have to do each and every day. And that's kind of the beauty of it. I never have to tell my employees what to do, they already know what to do on a daily basis. So a lot of times on a daily operation side, we're not really making any new decisions. We leave it up to them to make those decisions. So that way, it's just one less thing for me to stress about.” - Dennis Hoang
  • “I think we have evolved as a society beyond killing the employee for the sake of the dollar. And I'm glad to see that is coming, that we've made that transition. In the Asian culture, you alluded to, you know, if your family has a business, you're going to grow up in the business and, you know, you're going to progress that way.” - Tammera Hollerich
