Businessmen Dinh Nhat Nam

The business secret that Nam and Ninh gained through this passionate experience is simply: "To start a business, you must have passion and dare to pursue it to the end. Capital is not the most important thing, if you have enough passion you will raise the necessary capital. But passion alone is not enough, you have to make sure that it is what you like the most, you have the ability to fit it, and finally, the job must meet the needs of society”

Dinh Nhat Nam shared, he realized he was interested in business when he heard his father tell the story about Bill Gates. Since then, he has always wished to have a coffee shop for friends to chat. To fulfill his dream, when he first entered university, Dinh Nhat Nam started making money from checking Internet shops, selling portable iphones, organizing events.... After half a year, Nam quit the electronics and telecommunications industry at the International University of Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh switched to business administration in the face of opposition from his family. However, with his passion, Nam is still determined to make it happen, he actively shares ideas to find people to do it with him. During the start-up stage with Urban Station, Nam also faced opposition from his parents because of the misconception that the coffee shop business was unhealthy. This pressure even forced Nam to leave home and save his studies. In April 2011, two 8X boys, Dinh Nhat Nam and Nguyen Hai Ninh, each had 50 million VND, which was the amount of money saved from part-time jobs during 4 years of university. Realizing that such capital is not enough, Nam and Ninh asked more friends to contribute capital to raise enough money to open a restaurant.“I want to make a stopover in the heart of bustling Saigon so that everyone can have a good time. a stop to rest and enjoy the taste of pure coffee, ground on the spot, and the name Urban Station was born from that idea”. Quickly realized: Takeaway coffee is a new business form, but it doesn't suit the way many people drink coffee because they still like having a place where they can sit down and chat with each other. Nam and Ninh decide you to fix it, it's no longer just a takeaway coffee. More tables and chairs, the shop expanded, there is a parking space. The change helped the shop from an average loss of 10 million VND/month to gradually break even and then make a profit.
