Friendship...
can take different forms.
It can run like a river,
quietly and sustainingly
through life;
it can be an intermittent
sometime thing;
or it can explode like
a meteor,
altering the atmosphere
so that nothing ever feels
or looks the same again.
~Molly Haskell

not really sure what ur project is about...but juz generally...if u thinking of old chang kee epok that wld be kinda of a franchise too..i mean with an initial capital investment of 550 mil US u can manufacture almost anything...something new thats unique even if you are thinking of going into F & B....like for example...my bro-in-law to be (AHEM!..hehe!)..he is manufacturing this new drink called the magic dragon..its made of herbs called kava, he got from fiji and he puts different flavours in them..cuz the herbs dun taste gd on its own..but its different cuz its a drink that can de-stress you n the herbs help in some other ways too..so its unique, useful and taste gd..then if u gotta compare it with an existing company u cld compare it with big companies like Frasers & neaves F&N or smaller ones like the air badak company!..y know!..something like that la!..hehe..so i guess that what manufacturin f&b is...

hope its of some help!...
