Pisonet Business

Have you heard of Pisonet Business?

Pisonet Business is similar to computer shop business but instead of getting taga-bantay, this business dont need one because its like a videoke or video game that has coin slot and you just need to put P1.00 coin and the timer will start then you can use internet or play games... So parang its easy to manage kasi wala kang babantayan na oras ng mga customers, maghuhulog lang sila ng piso pag gusto nilang gumamit just like pldt telephone booth in malls.. Hulog lang ng hulog ng piso kung gusto mong mag-continue using the machine.

My brother put-up this business in front of our house in Laguna and he started with 8 units. He capitalized P200,000 for this and in less than 2 months, he decided to buy again 2 units from all the earnings of his units. According to him, ang bilis daw mabawi because in a month bawi na ang isang unit for every 4 pairs of computer. Galing no?

This is how pisonet looks like:

Yesterday while in the hospital, my youngest brother texted me if i can accompany him to MOA to buy 2 computers, i agreed but on one condition: he will treat me to lunch or merienda. He agreed to my condition and decided to meet after lunch since he will be coming from Laguna pa.

According to brother again, there is one store in MOA that you can buy computer or any parts that has the same price of Gilmore. It is the same store but the main branch is in Gilmore. He gave me the contact number of Asus branch in Gilmore and in MOA so i can call and check the price and the availability of the items. After calling, i conclude that they have the same price so we ask them to reserve the parts and will be picking up in their MOA branch.

Asus Branch in MOA

So if you wanna buy computer with Gilmore price, you can go here to Asus MOA branch because it is guaranteed cheaper compare to others but has the same brand of products. The staff are very accomodating also.

After going to Asus outlet in MOA and pay the 2 units, they inform us to just wait because some of our needed parts is on its way pa from their Gilmore branch so instead of waiting, we decided to take our lunch. It was my brother's treat so im thinking where to eat then.

I said i want yakimix so we went to the restaurant but we were so wrong timing because it was already close for lunch, i want an eat-all-you can para naman to the highest level lafang sana. We went to Cabalen but my brother dont want Filipino food so pass na sa mga Filipino food resto. Don Henricos has an eat-all-you can offer but i learned that MOA branch didnt offer that, bakit ganun? We went to the other side and look for the Chinese restaurant that he has eaten before na gustong-gusto nya pero close na pla... hehe..

After walking back and forth looking for what i want, nagalit na ang kapatid ko dahil ang tagal ko daw pumili at gutom na gutom na daw sya. Eh sakto nasa tapat kami ng Tokyo-Tokyo nun at sa sobrang kakahanap ko, kung ano pa yung ayaw kong kainan, dun pa kami bumagsak. Hindi naman sa ayaw ko ng Tokyo-Tokyo pero syempre gusto ko naman ng ibang Japanese resto, i was telling na dun na lang kami sa Sakae Sushi kaso nga bad trip na at wag na daw akong mag-inarte... Hay naku, kung alam ko lang na Tokyo-Tokyo ang kakainin ko sana di na ko nagpunta ng MOA, sayang lang pamasahe ko.. hehe

Here's my youngest brother checking the receipt from Asus branch..

Our food

I was dissapointed with Potato Balls, it was my fave from Tokyo-Tokyo pero iba na sya, para na syang PBalls ng Karate Kid, more on flour. I just settled with my Maki and Yakisoba.

 

After eating, we went back to Asus because they were going to assemble the unit. Before they assemble the unit, they will show you the parts that you bought then they will test it all.

The units that he bought.

Did you know that computers is so cheap now? Grabe in less than 20k, may complete desktop PC ka na with good specs na yun ha... and 19" LED Samsung monitor... Panalo talaga!

He said to me that if i want to put 4 units in one of his friend's place, he's willing to monitor it and im so happy when he offer it to me. I immediately agreed and talk with Kuya Bing because he want to try doing business na kahit ano. Kuya Bing and I plan of purchasing 4 units in November kasi sabi ni brother pilitin daw namin before christmas.

And im now back to computer business but ang maganda d2, no more puyatan because im just investing here and my brother will monitor it. Ok na dba? Galing ko talagang mag-train sa kapatid ko.. Manang-mana sken sa pagka-business minded... Keep it up bro and im so proud of you.

our decision...is it right?

After I gave birth, we put up a Computer Shop business near Perpetual School. My husband and I were full time hands-on with the business, the routine is Im the morning shift and he is the night shift. I have been blessed to work from home full-time running our business. The income is good, lahat ng expenses namin since I gave birth sa shop namin kinukuha, kahit malaki ang expenses monthly, we make sure na may idedeposit kami monthly sa savings namin.

After 1 year with the business, I feel bored with the everyday routine we do kaya I talk to my hubby na parang I miss working kasi kahit malaki ang kita ng shop, parang hindi ko ma-feel yung fulfillment kasi iba yung nagwo-work ka in a company and you’re contributing something. Then pumayag sya na mag-work ulit ako. After a week, I decided to apply in a BPO company, since we all know that BPO company gives high pay and also fringe benefits, yun nga lang you have to work at night since call centers caters the US market so we have to follow their time, then I get hired in a BPO company, of course night shift, from 10pm to 7am.

After a couple of months of working, Badz is the only one who handles the shop, it seems na parang everyday exhausted sya kasi he has to attend the shop for more than 15 hours a day, parang halos hindi na kami nagkikita. He will open the shop at the morning tapos pauwi pa lang ako from office, pagpasok ko naman wala pa sya, as in grabe yung time nya sa shop, tuwing weekend I have to go there just to see him and to know what’s going on with the business.

It took almost a year na ganon yung situation namin, there were times na iniisip ko na ibenta na lang yung shop para maging ok lahat and then the time comes when I made up my mind, we talked about it seriously since almost 2 years na din yung shop and we heard that we need to upgrade all the pc’s every two years so gastos na nman, its so hard to just let go of it since its been with us for years and pinaghirapan namin yun, sabagay we have to let go sometimes lalo na pag di na rin maasikaso and parang nkakaawa nman bebe ko, since kumita na rin kami for 2 years and we already have savings from income of the shop, we both agree to sell it, after a month of looking for the prospect buyer, hindi naman kami nahirapan kasi the location of our business is good, the buyer bought the shop for P200,000, not that bad kasi almost 2 years na din naman and 85% of the capital returns to us, kumita na kmi nabawi pa namin yung capital.

Badz decided to apply also in a BPO company, good thing he was hired on a first time interview. He’s now enjoying working in an international company and Im also happy with the decision we made kasi ngaun we’re both working, earning a good salary and have those benefits that all people wanted to have as an employee.

Now tell me, tama ba yung decision namin?
