On the 23rd Sept I did a presentation to a friend of mine. It's about my long time research but never been execute project of mine.
To tell ya the truth, as an entrepreneur I need some capital injection for my processed chicken & MLM biz. Yeah... agriculture is a huge business worldwide. Butta should i tell my friend that I need it for those kind of biz??? Maybe it won't budge in with him.
I called him last Thursday & we met in his office. I showed him a few of my not yet proper arranged proposal of mine. It's about reducing harmful polluting emmissions of vehicles. As a scientist my friend was well verse with what I'm trying to say, but he wanted me to do some proper presentation for the next meet.
So yesterday I did the presentation about alternative fuel other than petrol or diesel. The venue was at a lecture hall using the digital projector inside the forensics faculty of a well known university hospital in Cheras, K.L.
It took me an hour explaining him the alternative fuel concept until he really-really understood them. For that process he asked me buckets & buckets of questions that is normal for a scientist to ask. Flawlesly I answered all of his questions without hesitation thanks to the long term research that I've done. Overall, the presentation was a success & he's very impressed with the knowledge & info that I fed to him.
Because of this, he's willing to order a full set of the system & installed it on board his daughter's Perodua Kelisa. If the result showed remarkable fuel efficiency, he will then installed it on board his newly bought RM200k+ Volvo S40 Turbo, PLUS the fundings that I needed. Jokingly he said this thing gotta be in the R&D Engineering dept. where the fund is (he's not a joker).
As I walked away from his office & into my car, I paused & think for a while.... Wait a minute......
That friend of mine is actually a Professor. He's the top forensic scientist in my country & his work is acknowledge & referred by other academician worldwide.... How do I get to know him? It went back in 2000 when I was involved with constructions & development.
He use to be a MD for a construction company that have backings in fund & technology by partners from Germany, Korea, China, Japan, Australia, UK & the USA. After years of trying to find jobs from the government, no project was awarded to them although they have strong backing in technology & funding. Well, if don't know 'people' in the government u might as well forget about finding jobs or projects there. So he quit becoming a contractor. Other than a professor, he's involved in financial biz.
Thought job huh...???
