Location selection for small business owners such as restaurants

The food industry is the easiest to approach in these times of economic downturn.


You can eat it all up if it doesn't work out, so you think it's less damaging, but these days, if you don't become an expert, you're likely to fail.


Just starting out lightly is not helpful at all, and even people with a track record in that field only achieve success in about 10% of cases.


That's why only managers who respond to change and innovation like tigers or leopards survive.


The biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can think and have free will based on this.

In other words, humans can forge their own destiny, but animals, whether wild or domesticated, are dependent on their surroundings and environment, such as actively avoiding the cold, not being able to light a fire and relying solely on instinct. Livestock also have their fate determined by the will of their owners.


This means that adults can carve out their own destiny, but when they are minors or children, they are naturally greatly influenced by their parents.


This is also true in today's business or trade, where the success rate is less than 10%.


I think it is right to leave the experts to the experts and focus on what I can do best.


I dare say that the difference between a business and a business is whether there is a plan (in simple terms, whether there is a set schedule for tomorrow and an annual goal).


Location is very important among the success factors in starting a business.


In Yangtaek Consulting, my theory is that the flow of good energy is upward when viewed from the entrance.


In other words, it is impossible to define the place where this energy flows uniformly (this means that you have to go to the site yourself).


It is not true that a business will always be successful just because there is a large floating population, but it is fundamental that it depends a lot on who is moving around.


Also, if it is located at a sharp corner of a triangle, people who try to enter may feel uncomfortable, and the basement or the 2nd and 3rd floors each have good businesses.


However, if you measure the energy through Elrod or Gwanryong/Simryongja, there are places where business is good even though it is clearly judged to be a bad location, and vice versa.


The flow of energy is not felt by ordinary people, but it is definitely there, and this is the flow of heavenly energy and the flow of earthly energy that a person feels through the right big toe and determines its size.


Therefore, Elrod does not simply judge the presence and size of water veins, but also judges both earthly energy and heavenly energy, and this can be said to be a very special thing that only trained people can feel.


In addition, someone who has actually studied it can analyze it in oriental thought (it may be more detailed and scientific by expanding the interpretation to yin-yang, the five elements, and even the 28 constellations) and present it.





Process inspection item(Hygiene)s for egg production

Process inspection contents in the production process of edible eggs



Laying hens that produce eggs are experiencing difficulties in supply due to the spread of avian influenza.

In the United States, mammals such as dairy cows have been found to be infected, and ㅅthere are concerns that it may spread to humans as well.

Most farms have good hygiene management, so they are fundamentally blocking the occurrence of AI, so there is no need to worry too much.

The following are the manufacturing inspection items for the process through which eggs laid on farms end up on our tables.


This is based on Korean standards, but it is thought to be the same in other countries.

In most cases, it is combined with a laying hen farm, and the eggs are transported to the processing facility via conveyors, etc., and the process begins at this point.

The following are the process inspection items by managers in the packaging and processing process of edible eggs.​

  

1. Belt condition when eggs are brought in

- Is the egg cross belt operating normally?

- Is the area around the egg cavity clean?


2. Input process

- Is the area around the equipment clean?

- Is the extension table operating normally?

- Is the accumulator operating normally?

- Is the surface temperature of the eggs recorded (usually managed below 10℃)

- Is the operation status of the non-acidic electrolyzed water production device and PPM recorded (20 ~ 30PPM)


3. Sorting process

- Is the egg sorter operating normally?


4. Washing process

- Is the temperature of the washing water in compliance with the standard (45 ~ 60℃)

- Is the pH of the washing water appropriate (5.8 ~ 8.5)

- Is the washing process progressing well?


5. Drying process

- Is the drying process good and operating normally?

- Appropriateness of dry hot air temperature (50 ~ 50℃)


​6. Crack detection process

- Is the Crack/Leaker Detactor, a blue detection device, operating normally?


7. UV sterilization

- Check whether the UV sterilization lamp is operating normally


8. Sorting process

- Is the weight sorter operating normally?

- Is the weight standard compliant?

- Is the take-away clean?


9. Blood spot detection process

- Is the Blood Detector operating normally?


10. Egg seat supply

- Is the Denester operating normally?

- Is the egg seat used in a first-in, first-out manner?


11. Packaging

- Is the egg shell stamper operating normally?

- Is there foreign matter mixed in?

- Is there an abnormality in the sealing of the sealing paper?

- Is the packaging equipment operating normally?


12. Storage

- Is it organized and neatly organized by product?

- Is the storage temperature in compliance with the set standard (1 ~ 7℃)

- Cleanliness of product storage warehouse

When sorting and packaging edible eggs, the egg yolk and egg white are protected by the eggshell, protecting them from foreign substances and other hazardous factors. After washing and inspecting, the eggs are packaged according to weight and size, so no special risk factors have been found. However, we need to continue to pay attention and observe any special issues that may arise in the future.​



Rice cake manufacturing process in a factory

Korea has a lot of interest in food hygiene and safety from the government and the general public.

Therefore, they have a system called HACCP and are making efforts to make safe food.

 

Tteok is one of the foods that many people, including Koreans, like. It is made by grinding rice into powder, molding it, and steaming it.


Recently, due to the Korean Wave, various Korean foods such as ramen and frozen kimbap are being exported to overseas countries including the United States, and I think rice cakes will soon be exported overseas as well.


This factory has all the general legal requirements, and it also has general HACCP and ISO22000 management systems, and it has a designated laboratory and quality manager.


First, the rice cake production company does not do the semi- and soaking process with glutinous rice, but rather grinds the rice and steams it (cooks it with steam). (Injeolmi is made with non-glutinous rice.)


CCP(Critical Control Point) is managed by 4.


CCP 1B-1 Heating

- Process of heating with electricity in a double jacket to make red bean paste

- Management conditions- 1st heating 100℃, 180±10 minutes, product temperature after heating 95℃ or higher


CCP 1B-2 Steaming

- Process of grinding glutinous rice and steaming it with rice flour to make injeolmi

- Management conditions: Steaming temperature 100±5℃, steaming time 10±1 minutes, product temperature after double-cooking 95℃ or higher


​CCP 2B Cream production

- Manufacturing process of applying cream to the outside of rice cake

- Workplace temperature 22℃ or lower, mixing time within 30 minutes, exhaustion time within 2 hours after mixing, product temperature after mixing 23℃ or lower


CCP 3P metal detection

- Process of detecting metallic foreign substances in finished products

- Management conditions: Fe 2.0mm, SUS 4.5mm or higher metallic Foreign body detection



How should we view Feng Shui Geography?

Feng Shui is a branch of other myungrihak and its scope is also extensive.


Historically, it is related to China's Hetu and Nakseo, and is closely related to the Book of Changes.


In Korea, it is said that it started with Doseon Guksa at the end of the Silla Dynasty, and during the Joseon Dynasty, it was part of the civil service examination and a major issue in the civil unrest at the end of the Joseon Dynasty.


In modern times, Yangtaek Feng Shui has become a trend and has been chosen as part of the background for various important elections.


In the Americas, Europe, and Southeast Asia, it has already been applied to houses and offices, and it has a theoretical background and functions as part of cultural content.



1 Tohyeong(Leftmost: Soil): A mountain with a straight peak like the letter I 

2 Hwahyeong(Next left: Fire): A mountain with a sharp and pointed peak like a flame

3 Suhyeong(Center: Water): A mountain with a peak that rises and falls like waves

4 Mokhyeong(Next right: Tree): A mountain that rises sharply like a tree. Writers, administrators, and politicians appear here.

5. Geumgyeong(Rightmost: Metal): A mountain with a round peak like a turtle's back


Feng Shui Geography includes the theory of water type, the theory of shape energy, and the theory of yigi, and the concept of Hyungong Feng Shui is being newly highlighted.


The theoretical background of Eumtaek Feng Shui can be said to be the motive of ancestral rites, which is the influence that descendants receive by enshrining ancestors in a good place.


In contrast, the theory of Yangtaek can be said to have originated from the desire to live while receiving better qi and energy in the complicated and difficult modern life.


This is not to mean eliminating an uncertain future and seeing a clear future, but rather to wish for good luck and a healthy life.


As seen in the theory of water type, the theory of Eumtaek also includes the theory of water type such as Geumgyepo-ran-hyeong, Seonin-dok-seo-hyeong, and Galmaeum-su-hyeong, as well as the theory of Hyeonggi, which determines the direction of Yonghyeolsa-su, and the theory of Igi, which measures each direction with a patch and finds the right direction for each direction method.


The theory of Yangtaek Feng Shui also has various colors, directions, and props that are suitable for each building such as offices, residential spaces, and factories.


Recently, it is said that people interested in buildings, houses, and land, as well as appraisers, architects, and real estate agents who work in these fields, are taking interest and studying them.


As the old sages said, there are many teachers who know, but true teachers are rare.


It would not be the duty of an intellectual to speak carelessly as if one were the best with only a little knowledge.

Current status of cultured meat technology and market in Korea

 Until recently, the cultured meat industry was a major issue as a means of animal welfare and carbon neutrality.


At that time, it excited the related industry as a technology development item in connection with the government's State Council, but now, the research and development status does not feel that active.


Even overseas, the production cost is higher than expected and the texture is far from realistic, so it is said that even if there are people who tried it once out of curiosity, no one has bought it more than twice.


Let's find out the current status and problems of the cultured meat market.


1. Current status of the cultured meat industry

The domestic cultured meat industry is still in its initial stages, and it seems that several startups are focusing on cultured meat production technology and culture solution development. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is pushing cultured meat as a core future food industry, and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is establishing an institutional foundation by recognizing cultured meat products as food ingredients.


2. Obstacles to commercialization

- High production costs so far: Difficult to commercialize due to high technology and facility investment costs required for cultured meat production

- Lack of consumer awareness: Consumer awareness of artificial cultured meat is still lacking, and safety and ethical issues as food

- Legal and institutional regulations: Food Sanitation Act and other related laws and regulations have not established clear regulatory standards for cultured meat products.

- Technological shortcomings: Mass production technology development is still lacking at the laboratory level.

- Safety insured: Although it is said to be safe from diseases and antibiotics that occur during existing breeding, human safety that is unknown during the cell culture process is not completely secured.


Cultured meat is meat produced by culturing animal cells in a bioreactor (reactor). In Korea, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy has been supporting the development of cultured meat technology since 2020 through the 'Alchemist Project', and the Korea Food and Drug Safety Evaluation Institute under the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is researching related standards and test methods.


3. Comparison with Similar Protein Sources

This cultured meat is in competition with regular meat, plant-based alternatives, and edible insects, and it is understood that their strengths and weaknesses coexist, and that they will be connected in the areas where they are lacking and where they can be replaced.

Gujeolpan, a food that wraps eight ingredients in a pancake



Gujeolpan is a dish that contains nine dishes, including the center, in an octagonal (octa)-shaped pancake box. 

It is a luxurious dish along with Sinseonro among Korean dishes, and is often used as an appetizer or as a side dish to alcohol.

Foods that arrange ingredients in the five colors (red, yellow, green, white, and black) include Sinseonro and Jeonju Bibimbap.


In this Gujeolpan, instead of wrapping in a pancake in the center, you put almost the same ingredients on top of rice and mix it with gochujang, egg yolk, and sesame oil to make bibimbap.


Gujeolpan is a wooden bowl with beautiful patterns made of lacquer or mother-of-pearl, and contains eight dishes, including vegetables and meat, around the perimeter, and a wheat pancake in the center, containing nine ingredients.


This is the name given to it, and it is the best health food that is beautiful to look at, delicious, and nutritionally balanced.


In the old days, the number nine (9) was considered especially important in the East because it was the last number that reached the extreme as a positive number, and the arrangement reminds us of the eight trigrams of the Book of Changes, which are the essence of Eastern philosophy.

(Meaning: Water)
(Meaning: Fire)
    (Meaning: Heaven)
(Meaninf: Earth)

There are no set ingredients, but strong-smelling green peppers, green peppers, celery, and burdock are not used, and among seafood, shrimp, crab, and squid are blanched and added.


These ingredients are cut into strips, the beef is seasoned with soy sauce, the remaining vegetables are seasoned with salt, and a little green onion and garlic seasoning is added to bring out the color and flavor, and then stir-fried on a baking sheet.


It was also used as a food for the Yudu Festival, the 15th day of the 6th lunar month, and the sliced ​​ingredients were placed on thin wheat flour pancakes baked in a pan and eaten as a wrap.


The gujeolpan is also used on the main table (alcohol and side dishes) or the tea table (tea and snacks), and today, it is used when important guests such as relatives visit the house.


The main table for guests includes dried side dishes such as raw chestnuts, walnuts, ginkgo nuts, jujubes, pine nuts, peanuts, and dried persimmons, and the tea table includes various kinds of gangjeong, jeonggwa, dasik, and suksilgwa, which are arranged in matching colors to create a sense of class and elegance.

​The Importance of Strategy in Business

 The Art of War by Sun Tzu

Strategy in business management is learned from old books that outline how to win when fighting on the battlefield.


The author of The Art of War by Sun Tzu is Sun Tzu (6th century BC), a famous general who served King Helu of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period of China. It is said that he wrote this book to reform the difficult times of war.

The 13 chapters are composed of Planning, Operations, Poison, Military Formation, Military Situation, Reality, Military Battle, Verbal Change, March, Geography, Land, Fire, and Fortitude. 

From the perspective that “battle is a national ambassador, a land of life and death, and a path to survival,” it concisely explains the key points in high-level sentences, including important decisions, the selection of generals, and the overall strategy and battle. 


Its meaning is to always take the lead and win without fighting, and it also provides ideological support, so it is characterized by being non-belligerent to the point of feeling contradictory as a military book.

Not only has it been respected by many military leaders as a sacred book of strategy since ancient times, it also shows extraordinary views on the essentials of national management and the success or failure of personnel, so it can be said to be a book of wisdom that can be applied to all matters of life.

It is said that knowing oneself and knowing others means not retreating in a hundred battles, and it also contains the famous saying, “If you know others and know yourself, you will not be in danger even after a hundred battles.” It considered it best to win without fighting rather than fighting.



1. Time section(Planning) - Consider the odds before fighting.

Since losing a war can result in irreparable losses, it is important to prepare from the very beginning. It is necessary to be thorough, carefully consider the odds, and only fight battles that you can win.


2. Operations - End the war quickly and decisively.

Even if you win the war, it costs a lot of money. Especially, the longer the war goes on, the greater the loss of life and property, so it must be fought quickly and decisively.


3. Mogong(Poison) - It is best to win without fighting.

Even if you win by using force, there will be sacrifices. Therefore, it is best to use your brain before using force and win without fighting.


4. Military situation - Win first, then fight.

It is said that you should first prepare a situation where you can win before fighting. This is because if you make the situation so that you cannot help but win, you can win without relying on the skills of each soldier.


5. Military situation - Win with a system.

Sun Tzu said that you should seek victory through organization and systems rather than relying on individuals.


If you change the method just a little, the problem can be fundamentally solved without relying on individuals.


6. Heo-sil-pyeon(Reality) - Strike the enemy's weak point with your own truth.

In order to take the initiative in a fight, you must identify the enemy's weak point and attack it.


7. The Battle of the Armies - Take the Advantageous Position First.

The saying, "He who knows the pros and cons of going around and going straight will win" has a more accurate meaning than "The more urgent it is, the more you should go back."

It is said that the more accurate interpretation is that Sun Tzu intended to mean that you will win if you can weigh the characteristics and pros and cons of both the roundabout and straight-line strategies and choose the strategy that best suits the situation.


8. Oral-byeon-pyeon(Verbal Change) - Adapt to changing situations.

The situation on the battlefield changes quickly. When devising a strategy, you should always respond to such changes.


9. March-pyeon - Take the advantageous position.

You must have the insight and insight to see one side of the enemy and understand the overall dynamics, so you can understand the enemy's current state and occupy advantageous positions.


10. Terrain - Use the surrounding environment.

Be wary of a ruler who does not know the actual situation of the battlefield interfering with the general's work. Therefore, if the ruler gives wrong instructions, the soldiers will be suspicious, and the general may not follow the ruler's orders.

11. Guji-pyeon(Land) - Learn different attack methods for each region.

The method of mercenaries and the psychological state of the soldiers will change depending on the nature of the region that will be the battlefield.


12. Fire-based attack method - Attack method using fire

Many mistakes are made when emotions are involved in decision-making.

"Keep your heart hot, your head cool"


13. Yonggan-pyeon(Fortitude) - Invest in intelligence activities.

Information about the enemy must be obtained from people.



Seongjuam(Temple), Gwanaksan Mt

1 Introduction to Seongjuam(Temple)


I stopped by Seongjuam on the way down after climbing Gwanaksan for the first time in a long time.


Gwanaksan, located in the south of Seoul, was named for its pointed crown-like shape.


It is also called Sogeumgang because it has dozens of outstanding peaks and many rocks, and the mountain looks like Geumgangsan with old trees and various types of grasses blending with the rocks, changing with the seasons.


In addition, Gwanaksan is the ancestral mountain or outer mountain of Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, and because the shape of the peak resembles fire, it is considered a volcano in terms of feng shui.


Therefore, it is said that they dug a nail on the top of the mountain to symbolically suppress the fire because they believed that Seoul, which is overlooked by this mountain, was prone to fire, and Haetae, an imaginary animal that blocks fire, was created on both sides of Gwanghwamun, the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace.


Seongjuam is a small temple attached to Gwanaksan Mountain.


Daeungjeon is facing southeast (from southeast to northwest) and the peak of Gwanaksan Mountain is visible to the southeast.


When looking from Daeungjeon, there are Yosachae in the five directions, so it seems that a monk can come out, but it seems difficult to start a big fire, and it is unfortunate that Yeonjuam on the peak of Gwanaksan Mountain blocks the five directions.


The fact that a fire broke out in this hermitage not long ago can be said to have played a role in the fire.


There is also a theory that Gwanaksan Mountain is a volcano, and that Haetae statues, which play the role of water, were erected to block the fire of Gwanaksan Mountain when Gyeongbokgung Palace was built.


Seongjuam is difficult to verify due to lack of accurate historical documents, but according to oral tradition, it is known that it was founded by Wonhyo Daesa during the Silla period.


Yeonjuam next to it is located on the south side of Yeonjubong Peak on Gwanaksan Mountain. It is a well-known temple to those who enjoy visiting Gwanaksan Mountain, and along with Yeonjudae, located on the peak of a 629m high rocky cliff, it is considered one of the famous spots of Gwanaksan Mountain.
