Thank you for providing us with the list. We will do some research and approach some companies that we might be able to help.

That's great. That helps a lot. When you went to America after quitting school and opening up your first, did you find it was as difficult for? What we've notice, and Elias says this about it in his book of "How to Start a Business in Taiwan," is that the banks are unfriendly to foreigners.

We wouldn't want to put Stacy in a position where is the Taiwanese face of our company in order to be able to qualify for something that maybe a foreigner with an APRC, and this experience should be eligible for but struggle to communicate and obtain business or personal loans even if we may be eligible.

Right.

That's a very good point. I'm going to suggest that for Elias and his speech. I have found when I went to HSBC, if I took a Taiwanese person with me, it was much more difficult for the bank lady because she had more intricate questions.

Whereas, when I went by myself, I had no problems getting a HSBC bank account. My language was enough to explain what I needed. Also, hers was limited enough that she didn't need to ask the difficult questions because I was able to answer the simplified ones.

Maybe. I always tell Stacy remind me when I ask you to help me make a simple phone call. Something as easy as getting my free months of Internet service for referring somebody in my community to remind me to do it myself.

It's easier for me than having someone ask Stacy a bunch of questions that don't apply to why I'm calling. I always remind her to remind me I can do it.

My Chinese is usually enough for me to communicate what I would like to say, but it makes it more simple for everyone involved.

I think Stacy still has a few more notes?

Yes, especially because the price for an education, as an international student, it's around 56,000 for let's say, an engineering degree and that's the price for the entire four years. The price of a semester for a local American citizen at university is around 50,000 dollars so I can only imagine for an international student, meaning compared to America, where you get only a semester, there's far more affordable investment for parents. Canada is highly recognized for its quality of education.

What we are trying to do, is also offer the government our idea and use the grants that are available for children grade 7-12, giving them a chance to study in some of the top destinations for education in Canada. Taiwan also has a tax treaty for businesses that operate in both Canada and Taiwan.

I promised Francis Feng that I was going to put that flag in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, if I had to bring it myself.

I do believe that we're missing out, Canada and Taiwan have offered similar working holiday visas and Taiwanese people receive a six-month visa waiver on arrival in Canada and only required to obtain an ETA. That's a good chunk of time.

Thank you very much, and so much, for your time. I am so grateful that Amy, Stacy and I are able to spend this time speaking with you, even though we are all in different places. All three of us were so excited to meet you.

All three of us were having a Michael Jackson moment.

Yeah. We're not trying to hug you all.

Thank you so much for your time

We're so grateful.
