浦瑛開講：甜的是心 心就是愛
|
我的微信突然被關了,眞沒有想到這小小的微信還眞影響了我3天的情緒。微信可以打電話連接全球人,給予人太多的利益和方便,我沒有微信最擔心是上海老媽和弟弟一家人。
沒用微信讓我想到:人就是因爲太舒服才會造成很多困擾,沒用微信,這是上天給我機會去讓我思考,沒用微信後,從不習慣到習慣了,它讓我想到了就像疫情,通常患了新冠的人也是三天身體非常難過,過了三天就開始好起來。還記得疫情一開始人們有多么的恐懼,還記得搶購一空的超市,到現在慢慢已經習以爲常,雖然還有些陰影,但人的耐力是無窮的。
人就像大自然有他自己的修復能力一樣,人有自己找平衡的能力,我們生存在這個宇宙大自然中,我們應該適應和接受大自然帶給我們的災難。
今年七月,ITM總裁Jack 找我去看在Canton的一家巧克力工厰,工厰老闆是Scott Huckestein,這家工厰很有特色,有一條特別的流水線,顧客可以自己調配喜歡吃的水果、堅果,還有你喜歡吃白巧克力還是黑巧克力,你會做成一塊自己設制的巧克力bar。這家工厰還有一個小超市,專櫃出售自己製作的非常新鮮的巧克力。
10月23日,Jack吿訴我,Scott Huckestein
50歲生日,家里有Party,我也就去他家參加生日聚會,到他家里才知道他們今天是家人聚會只有請了Jack和我,我認識了善良溫馨和諧的一家人。Scott的太太Dianna和兒子Jose還有Dianna媽媽他們三代同堂,我感受到他們一家人的熱情和溫暖。

Diannn的母親Rose出身在美國,而Rose的母親來自意大利,父親祖籍德國,Rose一句話説到我的心里:愛是沒用顔色的,這個世界不太平都是政治家搞出來的,我們百姓就是平平安安地生活。她吿訴我,她家里養的貓都活到20歲。
這家人非常傳統,當我們唱完祝福Scott
生日歌後,我讓Scott吿訴我他怎么開始做巧克力的,Scott吿訴我他學的是工程設計,29歲前,是幫助維修飛機後,駕駛維修後的飛機到世界各地。他去過台灣香港和大陸,但從來沒有進海關,送完飛機就回美國。

29歲那年,他辭職不干了,家人不理解,這么好的工作,但是他一心想做葡萄酒,他從來沒有做酒的經驗,他開始學習,到處參加展覽會,在佛羅里達一次展覽會上,有一位來自阿根廷做展覽巧克力的人給了Scott一塊巧克力,就這么一小塊巧克力,改變了Scott的人生,這塊巧克力好好吃,一下融化了他的心。
Scott吿訴我,當他在密西根開第一家巧克力店的時候,他的兒子才6個月,每天他都會提着躺着兒子的籃子去店里。他説到這里,讓我想到所有創業者都是一樣的辛苦。
我問Scott生意成功關鍵是什么?他説:“關係”。就在他兒子二歲那年,Football市場部問他能不能將巧克力做成Football,Scott原本就是工程師的基礎,從打模子到做成Football巧克力,那天他要將Football巧克力樣品送到球場,臨時沒有人幫他看兒子,Scott説:我一只手領着兒子,一手拿着Football巧克力。當時球場上的人都走過來,他們沒有看我的Football巧克力,全部看着我籃子里的兒子,每一個人都讚美我的兒子。就這樣我第一批1000只Football巧克力的訂單是我兒子給我拿下的。Scott
和他的太太Dianna 開的第一家巧克力店Schakolad 在密西根商業中心Ann Arbor, 後來他們的Schakolad巧克力店發展到31
家,從密西根一直到Mississippi River. 後來他就到俄州Canton開了巧克力工厰。
Scott的工厰也是由於疫情,沒有能堅持住,而全世界都因爲這場瘟疫也發生了天翻地覆的變化,而有的變化才剛剛開始。要重啓夢想,Scott現在有更大的夢想,他想讓全世界的人都品嚐他的巧克力,他要把巧克力工厰開到中國去,ITM和伊利華報都樂意做Scott的橋樑,讓S.H.
World Chocolate Inc 早日在中國落地,因爲巧克力甜的是心,心就是愛。

BIOGRAPHY
An entrepreneurial chocolatier and USA inter-industry innovator for
over twenty years is going global!
Scott Huckestein is now the Founder of S.H. World Chocolate Inc. In
his role as Chairman / CEO, he is a highly respected chocolatier who
has created a unique A to Z vertically integrated chocolate company
in the USA. Scott’s aspirations are to take American knowhow into

positive taste results. He created a “better together” atmosphere,
collaborating with ingredient suppliers and larger corporations to
add value to products using many formulations that gave healthy dark
chocolate optionsto the consumer.
