news translation/summary:
"TV king" new development, look for nice shop, moses to advance into business circles opening a coffee shop
in 2007 moses received both title and profits (名利), besides gaining numerous amounts of advertising companies' welcome also the first to become double component "TV king" (雙料視帝), fame at the moment no one can compare. and in 2008 he has a tummy full of big plans, hopes to open a coffee shop to advance into business circles become "big rich man" (大亨).
moses although last year was his bad luck year (犯太歲的一年), but on the contrary title and profits received abundantly, besides Heart of Greed's role "dak dak dei" was very well received, gain many advertising companies' welcome, earned a lot of money (豬籠入水) also at the end of last year at TVB's anniversary award ceremony became double component "TV king." In this year [2007], moses starts to have a stomach full of big plans, also intend to begin business to be boss, to make developments in many aspect, still plan to open "dream" coffee shop, to put into practice to regard as advancing into the business circles' experiment in finding gold in rock.
to spend 6 figure sum
earlier moses also personally set out to choose a street shop (地鋪), first choice location is Hong Kong Island, and Causeway Bay (銅鑼灣) is his idea's (心水) choice.
as for why choose to open a coffee shop? believe that people who know moses well know that he absolutely is a coffee fool (coffee lover), moses who at a young age already passionately loves drinking coffee said, "truthfully speaking (問心講), actually open coffee shop earn money is not a lot, i only hope to share with people the feeling i have towards coffee, as well as know more about coffee, believe this would come out as more meaningful." as for choosing to endure expensive rent but still committed to choose a street shop, reason is very simple, he said, ''because people with people contact is very important, first choice must be convenient for people, everybody will then have this exchange. asked how much will spend on this experiment, slyly (鬼馬) he said, "secret. (6 figure sum?) should have!"
besides coffee shop, moses who has a stomach full of ideas also hopes in the future there can be more different aspects to develop in, like want to have own clothing brand, furniture, even have art exhibition... he said, "i always think since i always wear other people's brand clothing, so why not have my own brand... in the past i often draw pictures, very interested in it... have free time with nothing to do i always like to roam around in furniture stores... but all this sketch/idea at the moment can only rely on imagination, because i'm this profession's outsider (行外人), furthermore these are absolutely not small businesses, besides needing to learn as i understand, also need to look for investors.
to pave a road for the future
although last year title and profits both received, but suddenly brain arise a pile of beginning business big plans, is it because lose security in entertainment business, afraid "a flower will not be red for 100 days" (花無百日紅) principle will come true? moses said, "this area i on the contrary am not worried, in fact this pile of plans in the past for a time in my brain pass through, but in 2007 mentally have a very big transformation, start to think about life, acting/entertaining career is it a whole life's all/everything? maybe age is getting older and older, want to pave a road for the future, and begin to want to do things that don't rely on me and can still operate." he also has enough confidence, "dream" coffee shop will within two years can cash in.
open shop not for making money
open coffee shop is not for making money? but rather to allow people to know coffee! feels a bit like playing a joke, but really is moses' coffee shop's goal, he believes that within the current business society people who understand coffee can be said as less and less, perhaps everybody at dusk time at Central District have seen a lot of business people holding a cup of coffee, but the meaning of them drinking coffee is not really enjoying, but rather for signing a contract. asked what is most favorite kind of coffee, moses said, "brand and manufacturing location are not as important as freshness."

i wonder what happened in 2007 that caused such changes... must be something really big... i really wonder because in his most recent message to his fans he said a lot of the same things... but i guess whatever happened made him even more mature and stronger...
