00:00I came to Dubai in 2001 and came to Longcheng in 2004.
00:25What kind of business do you do?
00:27I mainly do trade.
00:29I came to Dubai in 2001 and when Dragon Mart was established in 2004,
00:37I started my business in trading.
00:41Different kinds of trading like shoes, fashion and also food and beverage.
00:47Actually, Dubai is caring about the people
00:51and also has a lot of policies to encourage the investment in Dubai.
00:56And also, there are a lot of business chances here facing the MENA region,
01:03the Middle East and North Africa regions.
01:06I sell the costumes, around for the party dress,
01:10around for the kids, for the adult size, men, ladies, boys and girls.
01:18My business before was good, but around for COVID-19,
01:24from 2020 to now, the school is closed.
01:29The activities and outside programs, all were closed.
01:34So my business, of course, was coming down.
01:37But starting now, every Dubai outside, all the world is open.
01:44So every person will come back to Dubai.
01:47The school will start new for the students.
01:52Every student now goes to the school and makes so many parties, activities and programs.
02:00So starting now, I will open one more shop
02:04and I think, hope Dubai, all the children will like the party.
02:09So like my items also.
