a Construction Team to receive civil works serving people in the locality. Mr
Hong said: My construction team is mostly local agricultural laborers. When I
founded, I had to learn a lot about management and machinery. Besides, I also
looked for skilled workers to work as masters and to train other members in the
group.

with the motto of high prestige, the construction team has maintained the job
for nearly 20 members, the average income of a person per year is above 60
million VND. Through the operation, the prestige of the Construction Team has
been raised, from the small civil works to ensure quality and be on schedule,
Mr. Hong’s team has received many large projects such as constructions of
office buildings, restaurants, medium-sized supermarkets, so the average annual
income of team members has increased. From an initial construction team, he has
