Which company makes money? Look at their hotlines! (Part 1)

Which company makes the most money? Just by looking at their published hotlines, we can get some hints. Today let's look at the 4 major electricity retailers in Singapore that cornered 80% market share in a crowded market of 12 electricity retailers: Keppel, Geneco, iSwitch and Tuas Power
  1. KEPPEL ELECTRIC 68033888
  2. GENECO 63636677
  3. ISWITCH 69559900
  4. TUAS POWER 68385565
KEPPEL ELECTRIC 68033888
680 Money gone
8033888 Platform continues and becomes big

This means that Keppel Electric put in lots of money into its platform. Indeed Keppel cornered 27% of the market share with 150,000 customers as of Oct 2019 (date per EMA). But note that Keppel has grown very big as its nearest rival Geneco only has 22% market share. BUT KEPPEL ELECTRIC has no wealth number, that means, it does not make money out of this business

GENECO 63636677
636366 Rapidly changing (4 times)
677 win lots of friends
This means that Geneco went through many changes in its business but managed to win business through friends. Indeed Geneco's customers are not from the company's marketing but from customers' referral program. Note that there is also no wealth number in Geneco's number. This means that Geneco does not make money

ISWITCH 69559900
There is only one number from here, and there are two zeros in the end. This number 69 is about INVESTMENT. This means that iSwitch invested lots of money into this business. There are two zeros in the end numbers, which means that this investment does not yield any profits. Note that there is also no wealth number in iSwitch's number. So iSwitch does not make money

TUAS POWER 68385565
68 Wealth generating
83855 Platform
85565 No wealth
This means that Tuas Power put in its wealth into this platform but this platform does not generate wealth for Tuas Power. Indeed we know that Tuas Power paid Singapore Power group $6 for every customer processed in SP's bill. If the average electricity bill of a household is $100, and a retailer's net profit margin is less than 10%, this means that it is hard for Tuas Power to make money from its business as it paid $6 for every bill processed by SP. There is no wealth number in Tuas Power number.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co
