Veteran Entrepreneurship

Production of unburnt bricks at the joint venture between Phu Loc Investment and Construction Group Joint Stock Company and Lang Son Construction Joint Stock Company

War is a place to test the courage, indomitable will and national spirit of soldiers, while the business world is a place to train the mettle and adaptability of veteran entrepreneurs. In recent times, members of the Veteran Entrepreneurs Association have always promoted the spirit of solidarity on the economic front in peacetime.

Members of the Veteran Entrepreneurs Association have been active in production and business activities, while also paying attention to supporting and encouraging members who encounter difficulties on the path to starting a business.

“When a member company produces bricks, other member construction companies will prioritize using their teammates’ products. When a business provides transportation services, trading and import-export businesses will trust in delivering goods. This mechanism not only helps ensure stable, safe and reliable output and input, creating jobs for members, but also contributes to minimizing risks and strengthening cohesion.”

Mr. Lai Quoc Toan,

Chairman of the Veteran Business Association

Veteran, businessman Nguyen Tuan Khoat, Director of Tuan Son LS Trading Company Limited, shared: When we were young, we together promoted the spirit of national pride, to fight to protect the fatherland. When the war was over, we were lucky to survive and return to continue to "fight" together against poverty, to build and develop the economy. The team spirit is still the same, the only difference is that our "weapons" now are capital, technology, and business strategy.

It is known that Tuan Son LS Trading Company Limited is one of the large and prestigious construction material suppliers in the province. The company is creating jobs for 15 workers who are children of veterans in Lang Son urban area and Hoang Van Thu and Cao Loc communes with an average income of 9.5 million VND/person/month.

Not only creating jobs for children of veteran members, veteran entrepreneurs in the province also strengthen their connection to use each other's products and services for mutual development. It can be seen that this is a very effective mechanism to create strength and demonstrate the precious spirit of solidarity, thereby creating an effective and sustainable value chain.

Mr. Lai Quoc Toan, Chairman of the Veteran Entrepreneurs Association, shared: When a member company produces bricks, other members' construction companies will prioritize using their teammates' products. When a business provides transportation services, trading and import-export businesses will trust in delivering goods. This mechanism not only helps ensure stable, safe and reliable output and input, creating jobs for members, but also contributes to minimizing risks and strengthening cohesion.

Currently, in the Veteran Business Association, up to 80% of member businesses have shared and used each other's products and services to promote production and consumption. The foundation of trust built from years of life and death together on the battlefield has created a business environment with a high level of sharing and a consistent view that no one is left behind, where the promises and credibility of each member always have absolute value.

The proud achievement of the Veteran Entrepreneurs Association lies not only in the number of 85 members, but also in the positive and widespread impact on society. Currently, the association is creating stable jobs for nearly 2,000 workers in the province and neighboring areas with an average income of 8 million VND/person/month.

For veteran businessmen, they are not only soldiers who have completed their historic mission in wartime to protect the Fatherland, but also pioneers on the economic front in peacetime. Through that, veteran businessmen are contributing to creating an increasingly rich and prosperous Lang Son.
