Queensway shopping centre

Its pretty much a duopoly for the shoe business at Queensway shopping centre. One can see many shops selling shoes, but in actual fact, the satellite shops are controlled by two bigger players, distincted as the chinese and the indians. You could try requesting a shoe at one of the chinese or indian shops, and if it is not available at that outlet, the sales assistant would whizz off to another of its shop to look for the shoe. Of course, there are other players in the market, like the sports link spin-off, sports interlink, and the shop selling all things related to football. It would be pointless to try to find a shop selling shoes at a lower price at queensway, when its a duopoly. Price competition would not be wise in a market structure like that.

19

You're 19. Old enough to be a father, yet too young to be an adult. You have two years. Twenty four months for you to waste your life away, in somewhere where seniority triumps capability. Family surpasses ability. Not a nice place to be in when you are always the lowest lifeform around, and no opportunity is given to you to climb up the ladder. You ponder, what are you going to do in the future. Not in two years time, not in five years time. What do you want to do in your life?

In two years time, i will enter some institute of higher education to prepare me for the remaining years of my life. The route is fixed up to five years. But after that, what happens? These past seven months of zhuobolaning has given me ample time to ponder on the path to embark on later on. The intrinsic details would not be penned down. But whatever i do, there is one thing which i aim to achieve. I want to change the world. For the better.
