I went to this Franchise Meeting today and I had a lot of fun. I dont know how I bumped into this info but it must have been that it showed up when I was searching all over for information about business.
They organizer first talked about themselves. I figured what they said is too good to be true. I could not have said better myself. So here is what they say themselves.

The Franchisors(the ones who try to sell franchises) includes Home care business, school business, digital marketing company, staffing company, haircut salon chain, and a Zoup company.
I am particularly interested in the staffing company and the zoup company for various reasons.
I remember how hard it was for me to locate my first job right after 911, I did almost all byself, going to the a more prestigious university career fair. Then 4 years later, when I was ready to leave that city, I worked with a lot of head hunters and I remember how frustrating it was trying to explain that YES, I am legible to work in US, with a transfer of H1B, which is just paper work, and all I said didnt make a dent on them. But fortunately 2006 was a very good year and I landed a couple of offers and chose my dream company in my field. I remember telling my boss that I could see this as my last job. And the job just ended last week, and I am sure I will not go back to my field working as an engineer. Today at the beginning of the presentation, I shared with the room of people my situation and my expection, the organizer said, welcome to retirement. haha.
I would like to help Chinese workers to get their jobs, enhance their resumes so that what's written on paper do them justice, improve their interview skill to present their true selves.
I spoke to the franchisor and share with her my niche, and she said i could not just concentrate on certain group. With $100,000 or so to buy their franchise... I still havent figured out what business sytem they have that is worth that much.
The zoup store. We Chinese love food including soup. I make the best tomato soup. :) I believe the tomato soup makes your skin fair and best of all they endure over cooking. The best part I like about the Zoup is that the soup is premade, so there would be no cooking in the store. The soup was made, and stoped cooking and was placed to freezer right away to keep it fresh. For a zoup store, $400,000 is the fair price. There goes 0.5 SFH. Ouch!
But I met a Chinese guy who gave me information about what I really really wanted to do. So that is the beauty of networking and asking questions.
One baby step at a time. Hang in there! You go, girls!
