The Art of the Business Equation

In 2006, in a world that often felt like a shadowy mirror, I was told to start my journey. I was told I’d walk around as if none of this mattered, and yet, by 2015, it’s clear I’ve learned what walking is.

That year, I opened a door at a hardware store in the heart of Hong Kong—a place where the streets are as cluttered as it’s crowded. The store was run by a man named Alex, who had been working in tech for eight years and still didn’t understand what was behind this company—his office was just another building in a hub of fast-paced finance and innovation.

I stood there, looking at him through the window, wondering why I’d walked past him. But here, he wasn’t just walking; he was building something.

From that day forward, Alex became my business partner, our vision, and our life together. Our company is bigger than any building in Hong Kong—it’s a company with five divisions, each its own story: electronic engineering, design, sales, investment, and real estate. And we don’t just focus on one; we blend the best of all.

One of Alex’s favorite sayings was, “The office is where all the action happens.” But for us, it’s not an office. It’s a lab, a place where we work with raw materials to make something valuable. That’s how I got my lunch: from a coffee machine and a latte art kit.

And in that same workplace, Alex also had this unique talent—a way of problem-solving that could be used any day for lunch. When his wife moved out of the city, he realized we needed someone to handle the move and set us up in a new environment. That’s how I got my second job at an international bank, where I learned to use some pretty nifty tools.

Back at Alex’s office, I was reminded of all the skills we had—problem-solving, creativity, detail-oriented, people-oriented—and all of these were tools we used daily. But here in Hong Kong, it wasn’t just about solving problems—it was about turning ideas into reality.

The company that came to me is what I call “WPS Dynamics.” It’s not a single tool; it’s a team of teams. Our goal is always to make the best out of whatever we have and give it something meaningful. Whether it’s launching a new product, improving our operations, or expanding into another market, it all comes down to using these tools—your phone, your spreadsheet, your software.

And here’s the thing: sometimes, when everything feels like a liability, you know when to step back. Alex always said, “The real challenge is turning failure into triumph.” And that’s what we do every day—it never gets any easier than it starts.

So whether you’re building something new or helping someone else build theirs, this place has its name on all our tools. It’s where innovation meets trust, and where the office is as big as your desk and as small as your vision.

And here’s the kicker: I’ve seen enough examples of WPS being used in the real world to see how it can make a difference. It’s not just for business—it’s for everything else. So if you’re ever feeling stuck, remember that WPS is with you all along.
