" Add in the current macroeconomic situation and cost-of-living pressure, and it means being successful will be a huge challenge. "

There are A Number of reasons for this:
" The big suppliers, they owe their bigger customers a lot of chips, they were really hesitant to bring in a new customer like us, a much smaller company, " Mr Pei said.
" We had to spend so much time finding different suppliers and pitching to them why The Market needs somebody like us. "
