Although work is busy, Shark Le Hung Anh, a young shark from the province Quang Nam also spent time chatting with PV Youth about many interesting content.
“Doing business gives me a headache, so I sing for fun.”
Seeing that he is not only famous for sitting on Shark Tank Vietnam, but the online community also often sees him releasing MVs on YouTube. It seems like you love singing?
I really love singing. How to say? I do business, many things are... headaches. So I sing for fun. Sometimes I "pretend" to make a MV and post it online.
Rate yourself on your singing ability, how many points would you give?
Probably... 2, 3 points.
The score is low but there is confidence, right?
Yes. I sing without trying to get the audience to like me. The important thing is that I like it. But to be honest, I still don't like it very much right now. Because I realized that I have not yet reached the elements of good and quality. In general, I don't have anything related to music. Because I do not have time. Every recording session is great. People sing a song and record it for only a few dozen minutes or half an hour. I "whipped" up to 2, 3 hours. Record and then adjust back and forth continuously.
Shark Le Hung Anh likes to sing so... constantly releases MVs

Seeing him sing all kinds of songs, like "Rainy Night in a Small Province", "Town at Night", "Never Forget You", "Love Story of a Knitter", "Nameless Drops of Sadness"... So What are your "secret" songs?
I don't have a "closet" song. Whenever I feel familiar with a song, I just sing it.
So what kind of music is your forte?
It is bolero, lyrical music, homeland.
Shark Le Hung Anh said each recording takes 2-3 hours, having to adjust back and forth.

“I fail all the time…”
Many people are very impressed with his voice. Hearing Quang Nam's accent is very friendly. He also spoke proudly of his hometown accent. But there are young people who feel self-conscious because of their voice. They fear being judged because of their accent. What do you think about this?
There's nothing to feel guilty about having a strong regional accent. If your mother's voice is present since birth, why should you have low self-esteem and consider it an "obstacle" for fear of being judged by others? How can you talk if you have low self-esteem? Don't be self-conscious. The important thing is how to speak so that people can hear clearly and understand well. But my voice suddenly "changed" for what? Changing your accent does not increase your chances of success.
Going back a bit to the name “shark”. There are questions about his life as a shark in the show Shark Tank Vietnam Is it the same as everyone else?
As for everyone, I'm the same. Also eat, drink and sleep normally. Also eat on the roadside. I also eat home-cooked meals cooked by my wife, my mother... but nothing else "all plain and simple".

In this life, what do you dream about?
Honestly, I don't know what to dream about anymore. In my life, everything goes by steadily. I just try and do the best I can. But when it comes to dreams, what's not to want? But the important thing is whether or not that dream can be fulfilled? I'm afraid that if I say something and if I can't do it, I'll be even more "homely" (afraid - PV), the more discredited it becomes.
How do you define the word "happiness"?
This question is difficult. I was "at a loss", unable to speak.
What about the word “success”?
In my opinion, success is when you have a sense of peace in life. There's something to eat, something to wear, something to hang out with friends around. Then find people who are sincere with you. As well as living happily, comfortably, and sleeping well at night. To me, that is success.
With that perspective, have you been successful?
I have not succeeded yet. How easy! I am far from being a successful person.
The young shark said he had failed many times
NVCC
Have you ever failed?
Yes! I fail all the time. Also "up the waterfall, down the rapids" many times. I'm also kind of "ignorant" so I just keep doing things "wrong up and down" (laughs).
After those failures, what lessons did you learn for yourself?
Life in general, starting a business In particular, it's not like buying a lottery ticket and opening it to find out that you've won the jackpot and your life will change. Everything has its price. I think that if you do something wrong and fail, you will have experience and valuable lessons to change to be successful. Need to be slow, calm, and steady in everything.
In the Shark Tank Vietnam program, there have been times when "deals were closed" (successful negotiations) with a value of millions of dollars. Then there are many young people fantasizing about that huge number. Sir, is it difficult to have the opportunity to touch that number?
Looking at the million USD figure, it is truly what young people crave. But getting to that number is a difficult and arduous journey.
I'm not talking about people who are too excellent, smart, or have pre-existing conditions, or inherited a fortune... But the vast majority, in general terms, if starting from zero, start from family. Normally, to create such a million USD asset, such a huge amount of money, is a miracle.
Because when starting a business, having the business survive and survive in the marketplace is already fun. For example, if the company's revenue is 100 million VND/month, after paying salaries to employees, it will break even, which is already a success. Let's not talk about thinking about a year's profit of several billions or tens of billions of dong, which is very far-fetched. You have to "scratch and peel off" to be able to achieve it.
Shark Le Hung Anh said he had just climbed Ngoc Linh mountain in his hometown in Quang Nam province before Tet 2024.

What do you expect in 2024?
In the context of a difficult economic situation, I think how to ensure jobs for everyone, growth at 20 - 30%/year is okay. I also try to increase income for officials and employees. I also try to develop and improve the quality of products and services to be better. But demanding, dreaming, and expecting too much may not necessarily be able to be done. Besides, I try to do whatever I can contribute to my homeland.
Thank you for the interesting conversation!
