After tying the knot with William Lui (雷偉信) last year, actress Sharon Chan (陳敏之) also became a proud entrepreneur. Her newly launched cookie business, Blesscuit Bakery, proved to be a large success with two shops in Hong Kong under her management. Sharon expressed her wish is to open a total of four Blesscuit Bakery shops before the end of the year, and later hit the Macau market. Happy that she has reached two important milestones in life – marriage and starting her own business, Sharon remarked she is only lacking the step of becoming a mother. However, she expressed being in no rush at the moment, “I’ll take things naturally. I want to enjoy life in a world of two with my husband, because I hope to travel the world with him. That’s not realistic after having a baby.” When asked if managing her business while continuing her acting career is difficult to handle, Sharon admitted it is a bigger challenge than she had expected. She gave an example, “My bakery had to launch moon-cakes, and I spent so much energy on selecting the flavors. In the end, I decided on citrus custard and Osmanthus green bean flavor. There was so much to think about that I would sometimes jerk awake in the middle of my sleep.” Hardworking and career-oriented, Sharon prefers to personally handle her cookie business and would visit its shops to manage the operations every month. When the new moon-cakes were launched, Sharon served as a saleswoman and provided passersby with samples, attracting a large crowd. She happily expressed, “Many people call me a tough woman, but I think I’m more like a superwoman! I have to adapt to many jobs at once.” Creds: Oncc
These actors are using the fame well, they do all their business with so much urgency. Opening so much so quick is risky...
I'm sure they'll able to handle it if it doesn't do well. They always have their acting to fall back on.
Totally......using their fame to sell,if business doesnt work,well back to acting lol. But I love Sharon, she is pretty!
Agreed she needs more leading roles, she's one of the ones that kind of gets put on the back burner...
I think it just shows they have more to their character than just an 'actor/actress'. They are all entrepreneurs, with great business focused minds .. utilizing their status in society to help further their sales... nothing wrong with it either. I like sharon~! should search for her shop when i go HK~!
At first most people are interested in their businesses because of them but over time, it's going to be the quality of their products and services...
