Vivo was first to introduce full bezelless display, optical fingerprint and popup camera in Vivo Nex, and I still keep it since it's the best portable music player I have.

BBK can only ensure that their own workers are being well paid and that their partners are happy and well paid. They can't really know or influence how its partners are paying their own workers.

    Oh my god I love you so much for creating this video, my heart is jumping from joy!
    His philosophy to business is EXACTLY how I'm handling things, too, and I've always been getting criticized for that; for not jumping on new trends fast or not trying to introduce any trends myself (in my niche).
    Exactly, I just sit back and let the others figure stuff out, and once I see that things are working out I'm moving in, too.
    While this always makes me last in adopting new things and made me miss out on many oppo rtunities (ba dum tss), this also meant I never wasted / lost much time either and instead just focused on improving my existing systems more and more.
    I love this video so much.
