A dreamed business

My aunt put up a business last week, she dreamed of this a long time ago now. She used to work at the local fast food chain near our village. She promised herself that she will be getting a business soon and no wonder, she did it. After long time of dedication to her work, she then finally get enough money to run a small business, a rolling store. Of course, she liked being in the burger business.

A week before that, she ask me if I could go along with her to buy a car for her business. She planned to re-assemble the car and make it a rolling store, actually it was a van. We went to an auto shop to look for the perfect van for her business. There were lot of mini vans there, coming from different model, brand, color etc. We sat for a moment to wait for an agent and I said to her, “why not purchase a gmc”, she laughed. I know she wouldn’t going to buy that one, I was just only trying to make her laugh because I know she was exhausted. I then told her that I was going to take a walk around the car shop. After a while I saw a toyota car being test drive by one of the customer, it was beautiful. It was a new model with good looking style, perfect for strolling around. Then there was this porsche, a nice rolling piece of art. These car are made to perfection, even though I don’t have any knowledge on cars. A long time ago I’ve watched an article about how cars are made and one of them is the porsche, so that’s why I know that these kind of cars are expensive because on how they made.

After a long time of waiting, I’d never notice that my aunt already had a talk with an agent. They closed the deal, including the re-assembling of the van. And now, she able to put up her long dreamed business, thanks to this car shop.

My favorite game

This day I went to a ticket shop to buy some ticket to a game, actually a football game. This game is very popular, so popular that a pile of fans cover one block just to get the nfl sunday ticket. I had to fall in line on hundred fans to get one. I bought one for myself and one for my best friend. This days nfl sunday ticket price become really high, maybe they trying to increase their income because they know that a lot of fans will come to watch the game. For all we know it is almost considered that all Sunday games are sold out. The thing is, more income.

My brother in law used to own a ticket outlet for all sorts of gaming events. He got the some ideas about how to generate a certain pricing of a game based on their statistics. He said that nfl sunday ticket schedule have the highest ticket ranking sales if he were not mistaken, the setting is pretty obvious, “set the game schedule were a lot of people have their free time”. Which I think is not bad and a good tactic. On other games, they also have their own analysis on that. This statistic thing gives me a lot of ideas.
