Successful business comes when your people are productive. What makes them productive? It’s when you treat them like a family and value them not just a mere employees.

3. Stocks and Investments.

When DanBam has just started, Ma Hyun Hyi is not a very good chef. But this doesn’t stop her from doing her best until she made it, to be the best chef of Danbam.

As for Toni, even if he looks liked a typical African but he doesn’t know how to speak English.

Yet Toni worked hard to study language he can be a help to Danbam.

If you can still recall, Jo Yi Seo hired Toni because they think he can be an asset for the foreign customers.

Park Sae Ro Yi and Seung Kwon are ex convicts but they both did their best to live a good life.
