Since childhood, my mother trained me to study in the morning and afternoon, so No matter how hard it is, I still try to finish high school and then go to university "- Charlie Ton Quy recounted the time he had just come to America.

In 1995, Charlie Ton Quy graduated in chemical engineering with high marks. However, that year America was in trouble, a fresh graduate like Charlie Ton Quy had absolutely no chance to get a job. In November of the same year, Charlie Ton Quy opened the first nail supply shop for the simple reason that his wife - Mrs. Le Phuong had a nail salon and he himself "cheated" a little knowledge of chemistry. But with no capital, he had to borrow $ 70,000 - that small amount of capital was the beginning of the billionaire's illustrious career later.
