China Changed How I Run My $100K/Month Business (The West Is Late)

Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:00]I mean, this whole selling was the craziest selling I've ever been in in my life.

[00:00:04]I did get the pods from Shopify, 61K.

[00:00:11]Are we in a [ __ ] a Cyberpunk city, bro? Look at this [ __ ] This [ __ ] looks like a [ __ ] Ritz-Carlton more than a hospital.

[00:00:18]>> [music] >> This is literally what I dream of. So, without drop shipping, I don't even know where I'd be right now. This is really going to impact my life. I also realized it also impacts my friends' lives, right? The allergy test that took at the hospital, the report shows that you're allergic to >> [music] [music] >> This is my Chongqing hotel tour. We just landed. Danny has not seen it yet, but I want to take him and you guys throughout the tour. Hey, yo, yo, no people, bro.

[00:00:57]First and foremost, they have a bathroom right here. Very important for the highlight of the tour, okay? You know, pretty simple bathroom, you know what I mean?

[00:01:04]But, look at this [ __ ] >> [laughter] >> YO, CAN I UPGRADE?

[00:01:10]THIS IS CRAZY, RIGHT?

[00:01:10]>> YO, CAN I UPGRADE? All right, we got a sofa area right here. Pretty much we're going to do the type of quarter podcast right here. Actually, the back is pretty crazy for podcast right here, too. Bro.

[00:01:20]And bro, this is probably the best skyline that I've seen, and I've seen some pretty crazy skylines, including New York skyline. I'm not going to lie, this skyline might contest New York skyline right here.

[00:01:30]>> [ __ ] And I've got a little fireplace going on right here, as you can see.

[00:01:35]>> [laughter] >> That is crazy. And then we got a projector on the wall right here, which is pretty cool. So, instead of a TV, we got a projector. And then right here, we have a whole bathtub / pool. I don't even think we should do the pod over here. We should do the pod over here.

[00:01:48]Yo, facts. Oh, let me get in that.

[00:01:50]>> We'd be chilling like half naked. You have a rubber ducky for you, bro. I didn't get one. You didn't get one? I didn't get one. Damn, bro. And another thing, you're probably wondering, "Yo, where's the bedroom?" It's on the second floor. The skyline does actually insane, bro. Not going to lie. Before we go to the second floor, let's look at the skyline, bro. Like, this is actually insane, right? This [ __ ] is actually [ __ ] crazy. And all the buildings in China, especially like the really tall ones, they're like lined up with like LED lights. You can see I don't know what it's saying right now, but the entire building is playing a video. Like, what?

[00:02:20]There's also more skyscrapers over there as well, on that side.

[00:02:28]And all right, let's go to the second floor real quick.

[00:02:31]>> [music] >> Second floor. Two floors in a hotel room, bro. Look at this.

[00:02:36]And then, you come over here, you can actually see the pool from the second floor.

[00:02:43]What is going on? What is [music] life?

[00:02:45]This is a hotel room. I don't even know if this is a suite. Yo, we got to have a conversation. Yo. It's totally separate floors. Yo, what [laughter] up?

[00:02:51]In a hotel room, it's crazy.

[00:02:54]Yo. Bro. Yo, 3:00 a.m. night gas will be going crazy right here. I'm pulling up.

[00:02:58]3:00 a.m. room service. Life talk.

[00:03:01]Chongqing spicy pizza.

[00:03:04]Favorite [laughter] thing. I don't know.

[00:03:25]Chongqing is known to have really spicy food, bro. So, we're about to see what's up.

[00:03:29]Yo, no one's eating the spicy one. I can't lie. This [ __ ] is crazy.

[00:03:33]Apparently, this is a mini spice only, so we good. My ass. Bro, that [ __ ] looks like [ __ ] that.

[00:03:38]Look at that. Yo, how much for a shot?

[00:03:40]You can't make sure he don't say a number. I I got to afford it.

[00:03:43]>> [laughter] >> 50 bucks. 50 bucks? 50 bucks. 50 bucks for a shot?

[00:03:48]Bro, that might ruin my whole trip here.

[00:03:50]I might just live in the [ __ ] in my own bathroom.

[00:03:53]In the bathtub. In the bathtub.

[00:03:55]>> shots. What the Two shots. Two shots. Yeah, two more shots. Two shots.

[00:04:01]>> I can find.

[00:04:03]On my block. And the pepper. You got to eat the pepper.

[00:04:04]>> [ __ ] that. [ __ ] that. [ __ ] that. You got 5K. 5K. 5K.

[00:04:08]5K. Pull out 5K right now. I dare you.

[00:04:10]>> [laughter] >> So, apparently in Chongqing, there is a hot pot spot that is inside of a nuclear fallout bunker. I don't think we're in that one right now, but talking about the nuclear bunker. Not going to lie, the war right now that's happening between Iran and the US and like I actually have no idea what's going on cuz I can't even keep up to date right now because it won't even load, but it's not it's not looking too good for the ads because yesterday I think I ended up with actually negative in profit when usually every single day it's like 10 to 15K in profit, but I mean good thing my AI bots actually caught it in time and it turned off the ads before I even lost any more money than 1K. And another thing is actually the funny part was the cost caps didn't even spend because it wasn't going to deliver me results at the number I wanted to. That's what cost caps do, you know? If you set a number and they can't deliver the results, then it's not going to deliver it. And also apparently Facebook went down for like a few hours yesterday as well, but by that time my bots already turned off the Facebook ads. So, uh yeah, we'll see what happens today. It's currently 8:00 p.m. here, so that means it's around like 7:00 a.m. in New York time. We're going to see if we're profitable. Uh as of right now, we are profitable by $79.

[00:05:20]So, we'll see what happens because usually my product picks up around 8:00 a.m. to around 11:00 a.m.

[00:05:25]And uh yeah, we'll see what's up.

[00:05:33]I what?

[00:05:38]Is it spicy?

[00:05:41]That [ __ ] is hot.

[00:05:43]That [ __ ] just snuck up on me. Oh [laughter] [ __ ] Yeah, oh [ __ ] It's chill. All All my turn trying this [ __ ] Yo, I'm scared of spots, bro. I can't lie.

[00:05:58]>> [laughter] >> No.

[00:06:00]>> [music] >> Wow.

[00:06:06]Wow. Wow.

[00:06:08]>> [music] >> Just walking around the city right now.

[00:06:19]I got my watermelon smoothie that I'm not going to drink, but I'm just using it to cool my head off cuz I have a headache right now. But honestly, can't complain. Like look at where I'm at right now. This is insane. But yeah, you guys know like right before you guys go to sleep, you guys think about something good or think about like what your dream life could be or just dream in general, you know? When you're dreaming, you want to envision your future, what you want to do in the future, all that stuff.

[00:06:44]This is literally my dream. Just kind of like exploring new cities, walking around with my friends, trying new things, eating good food. Oh, there they are. What's up? What you guys got? You guys got watermelon? Yeah, I got [laughter] watermelon, too, bro. Guess how much. How much? 54.50. 1.50? Yo, look at Are we eating at a [ __ ] a cyberpunk city, bro? Look at this [ __ ] bro. The LEDs on top of LEDs. Oh, sorry.

[00:07:05]But yeah, like I was saying, this is literally what I dream of, so like I said, can't complain. And this is literally only possible because of drop shipping and AI. Like if you really think about it, right? Drop shipping, what do we have? We have location freedom. I could be anywhere in the world. I could be on Mars. As long as there's Wi-Fi, I'm pretty much good to go. Number two, financial freedom. Like I can go anywhere I want in the world, stay at the nicest hotels, drive the best cars. I can go to the best places and eat the best things. Like if you don't want to buy a nice pack for only a dollar and you want to support local business like me, you could cuz of financial freedom. You can do literally whatever you want. And it's just so crazy because I don't know, without dropshipping I don't even know where I'd be right now. So, like I said, shout out dropshipping, shout out AI because without AI I would literally be on my laptop every 5 minutes like checking ads and especially with what's going on right now with the war and stuff like that. You know, it's going to be hard to actually navigate without AI, but well, dropshipping also provides with points.

[00:07:59]You know, these trips are literally free. The hotel that you saw was literally free. All my flights are free and that's only possible because of the ad spend that we use to get points and credit cards. So, bro, like what is a better combination? Not only that, work from anywhere in the world, I can travel anywhere in the world for free and I get paid for it also doing it. Like, bro, also I'm going to probably going to talk about this on our podcast I'm going to record with Danny later, but it's like it's kind of boring doing it alone, right? Like that's why I brought Danny with me. That's why I brought everyone with me to the top as well and got them into dropshipping because number one, it is pretty easy. I'm not going to lie. If you know what you're doing, you're following the right systems, if you have a person like me with you step-by-step, side-by-side, it's kind of like inevitable for you find a winning product and actually scale the [ __ ] out of it. So, yeah, it's actually boring doing it alone. So, that's why I brought everybody to the top with me and now we're kind of chilling in [ __ ] cyberpunk city, bro. Like, what is this?

[00:08:49]>> [music] [music] [laughter] >> My bad, yo. When you going to get a kid, bro?

[00:09:06]When you going to get a kid?

[00:09:07]>> [laughter] >> No, no, no, no, no.

[00:09:10]Wait, how much is it? How much is it?

[00:09:12]All right, I'll buy one. I'll buy one.

[00:09:13]I'll buy one. I'll buy one. I'll buy one. I'll buy one. You're a hustler, bro. I can't lie.

[00:09:17]You respected it, but you didn't buy it.

[00:09:20]I'm just a one percenter. You should be buying it. I'm buying it, bro.

[00:09:23]>> [laughter] >> Aw.

[00:09:27]Aw.

[00:09:29]>> [laughter] >> Aw.

[00:09:34]CC.

[00:09:35]I was walking and I was like, "Yo, what you doing grabbing my hand?" You got a new kid, bro?

[00:09:39]>> [laughter] >> Yo, Rudy. You didn't even You didn't even talk to him. What? You got to support the little kids, bro. Yo, no, he called me bad on park and he started walking with me and he started grabbing my arm. I was like, "What the And I was like, "Booyah, booyah."

[00:09:50]>> [laughter] [singing and music] >> Oh, yeah, it's Tinder about to hit. If you didn't go on the hinge, that's where the baddies out there. Yeah, look away.

[00:10:03]Yeah, yeah, yeah, look away. Go look comb through your hair. Yes, sir.

[00:10:07]Yes, sir.

[00:10:08]Yeah, yeah. Look at me now. Look at me.

[00:10:10]Yeah, adjust adjust your adjust your bag real quick. Should I go on the hinge profile or not? Hinge profile is crazy, bro.

[00:10:19]>> [music] [music] [singing] [music] >> Yo, what's good, big guy? Big >> [laughter] >> Oh, and then and then and then goes like and then goes like, "Big guy. Big guy."

[00:10:39]And I go under you and then I go I go like this and I go like this and I go >> [laughter] >> That's some gay [ __ ] bro. Yo, this He sucks.

[00:10:49]Literally, how do you do that? Every time he The mo- the mo- the moment he speeds up, he speeds up bouncing. Pause.

[00:10:55]Hey, yo. Let's do only one guy first.

[00:10:57]Bro, we're not even in sync.

[00:11:02]>> [laughter] >> All right, we are now back at the hotel.

[00:11:08]Everybody left my room because it's currently 12:00 a.m. And remember when I was at the restaurant and I believe it was around 7:00 a.m. or 6:00 a.m., I forget. We were actually profitable only like I think 100 bucks and the day before, which is yesterday, we were actually unprofitable for $1,000 because of the whole war going on and Facebook was down for a few hours and a bunch of stuff went wrong, but you know, we stopped the bleeding early because like I said, the AI caught it and whatnot, but we are currently at 11:00 a.m. in New York time. We are currently at $3,000 in profit. Now, that's really good because we still have the rest of the day to go. So, I believe when I wake up around 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., which is going to be, you know, 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. New York time, it should probably be anywhere between $5,000 to $6,000 in profit. So, we are so back. I mean, we did have a couple bad days because of the war and whatnot, but we are so back and I actually did get my 9:00 a.m. daily report on pretty much what the AI thinks I should do. And regardless of whether or not I say yes or no, the AI is going to do it anyways.

[00:12:07]Well, obviously, if I say no, the AI is not going to do it, but I usually do not say no unless it's a crazy nuance or whatnot. But, according to the AI, we should do 20% increases on five my campaigns today, which will make a total budget uh impact budget to be $3,284 per day. We have three campaigns that's going to do 15% budget increases at $509 a day, and we have one hold and zero decreases. So, right here is pretty much what the AI is going to do for me today to scale the ads back up because the ads actually de-scaled yesterday because AI thought that the performance is really, really bad, which it is true, but the nuance is that the whole war situation was going on and Facebook went down. So, the thing about AI is that not only is it automated, sometimes I do have to go in and tweak a little bit. I never accounted for Facebook disruptions, and I also never accounted for trending news that might affect the ad performance like a war. Like, who's going to predict a war is going to break out in, you know, the middle of my China trip. I did not even predict that. So, these things I still have to go ahead and put into the nuances. Now, I don't know how I'm going to do it. I might The next time that, you know, AI detects bad performance, maybe it'll do a couple of checks first before it actually decreases my budget. For example, it might check the trending news to see if anything major or venture happening that are affecting my performance because at the same time yesterday, while it was performing negatively and unprofitable, the AI assumed that these ads are no longer good. They assumed that these ads, you know, were fatigued and these ads would no longer convert. Even the AI strategy bot started figuring out new angles and new ways and new markets to hit. Even though we don't need that, it was just that one-off day because of the Facebook ad disruption and the war, obviously. So, you know, AI is not perfect and it never will be, but at least it can handle 80%, 90%, maybe even like 95% of the work and that to me is 100% freaking awesome. So, there we go.

[00:13:51]I'm going to sleep and I'll wake up tomorrow. I'll give you guys a better update. But, uh yeah. I'm excited to check out the restaurant Chong Qing tomorrow.

[00:13:59]>> [music] [music] >> All right, good morning. Now, I don't even know if this is a good morning or not cuz some stuff happened while I was asleep. Uh number one, one of my ad accounts went down for one of the stores and, you know, usually it's pretty easy.

[00:14:22]I message the rep on Facebook. If they go ahead and check out the ad account, usually it's like an AI automation that kind of banned this, so they kind of revert it. The issue right now is that it is currently 8:29 p.m. over in New York while it's like 9:00 a.m. in China.

[00:14:34]So, they're obviously not working right now. So, do I want to waste 12 hours or maybe even an entire day of no ads or no sales? Probably not. So, I had to go ahead and re-upload all of our ads into another ad account at a way lower spend.

[00:14:47]And the reason why is because even though we are using the same pixel, we're using the same page, the same domain, even the same creatives, sometimes just changing the ad account is enough to kind of throw off the performance. So, I don't know if it'll perform the exact same on the ad account or not. That's why I have it at a way lower spend than what we currently have it at. That's number one, but that should get solved pretty soon. And number two, I just got hit with one of my ad accounts for Facebook is actually moving towards monthly invoicing, which means that all the credit card points that I was mentioning yesterday, the free travel, the free hotel, you know, the free car service, all that stuff, might not no longer be a thing. I don't know. We'll see. I think it's only affecting the bigger advertisers right now, the ones that have their BMs verified with US LLCs, and the ones spending upwards of like 500k to a million dollars a month. All my smaller ad accounts right now are perfectly fine. They're still using credit cards.

[00:15:38]So, maybe it'll be a small rollout. I don't know yet. So, number two, even though I can't really do anything about it, it just kind of sucks that the main ad account that can no longer like credit card points. Number three, I just had to go ahead and actually wire my supplier 20k for the next two days or so, just in case I'm not available or the internet's bad here, you know, just in case. Because my supplier was saying that we're almost out of stock, so I want to go ahead and stock up a few more before we actually end up out of stock.

[00:16:01]And, you know, like I said yesterday, you know, AI is amazing. It could do like 80% to 90% of the work, but that still last 10% is what I still have to do right now. And I don't mind doing the last 10% even though it might seem like I was doing a lot of work, it took maybe 30 minutes out of my day or out of my morning. And, yeah, like there's some things that I still haven't outsourced yet. Number one is media buying. Yes, I do have AI automations that help with media buying, killing ads, scaling ads, turning on ads, coming up with new strategies. Yes, that is correct, but the actual media buying itself is still on me. I'm the one still controlling the AI and kind of modifying it to tell it what to do. So, that's still on me. And the second thing that's still on me is currently the financial side of things, you know, I'm the one still paying payroll. I'm the one still paying off the credit cards. I'm the one still paying suppliers. I just personally don't mind paying. It takes like a few minutes max, and I like to know what's going in and out of my account as well.

[00:16:51]So, those are the only two things that I haven't outsourced with dropshipping yet, and that's pretty much what I had to do today was media buying and paying financials. And, I mean, that's pretty much it. Also, I guess it's a pretty good morning cuz I did get deposits from Shopify, 21k, as well as 61k.

[00:17:07]So, I think that's a pretty good morning. I'm not going to complain. Some stuff did happen, but whatever, we still ball. I'll see you guys in a bit. I am heading to a hospital for some preventative care, pretty much just MRIs because MRIs in the US cost anywhere between like $2,000 to $4,000, but in China I believe it cost around 100 bucks to 300 to 400 bucks. And lately I have been feeling kind of low energy after 5:00 p.m. And I want to get my blood work done all that stuff. So yeah, just kind of preventative care. Just want to know what's up. Obviously I'm going to these MRI scans to hopefully get back the result that you're all good. No one wants to hear bad news, but at the same time you don't know then you don't really know. So >> [music] [music] >> All right, we just got here to the hospital. Bro, this [ __ ] looks like a [ __ ] Ritz-Carlton more than a hospital, bro. Look at this [ __ ] They got the [ __ ] lion or dragon spitting water fountain and then the [ __ ] Maybach looking type car in the front.

[00:18:08]Bro, what is this lobby?

[00:18:10]Yo, that shit's fast, bro. Yo, we don't got to wait no nothing, bro. Like in the US you got to sit there for like [ __ ] 10 years.

[00:18:18]Sometimes two days, three days. But usually like a day.

[00:18:28]>> [laughter] >> You want to hold my hand?

[00:18:35]Bro, this experience at the hospital is insane. But yeah, I got my results back in the MRI. The doctor just told me this [ __ ] looks normal as [ __ ] So I was like, "Oh, cool."

[00:18:43]So they just prescribed me some medicine that has a really high effective rate for migraines. It's like preventative medicine compared to right now I'm just taking like, you know, Advil or whatnot when I have the headache. But this one I'm going to take it every other day and I should It's like preventative, so it probably won't happen, but we'll see what's up. We'll check back with them.

[00:19:01]But cool thing is is that not only do you have such a fast service after you're done, they also add you on like a communication platform, like I guess like like WhatsApp kind of thing. So if you have any questions you can always ask the doctor. Like if you just text them, which is kind of crazy. That does not exist in the US, at least not from my doctor. The healthcare here is actually insane, and everything was so cheap. The MRI was like 100 bucks. The most expensive thing was the medicine. I think the medicine was around a few hundred, but an MRI cost like $2,000 to $4,000 in the US, so I'm happy either way.

[00:19:31]>> [music] [singing] [music] >> We're getting this drink called Ru Tao Yogurt. That's literally his brother's name. And then we have food carts.

[00:19:45]That's literally mold on top of the tofu right there. And they cook it, and it looks better. I do want to try that moldy tofu, but I don't want to get sick after eating it, and I'll have a bad trip after that. Here we go. Yo, such pretty drinks.

[00:19:59]Bro, this looks like the most bland [ __ ] ever. It's called sour milk. It doesn't sound good.

[00:20:06]Mhm. Fire. Literally, it tastes like how it sounds like. It's milk that's sour.

[00:20:10]Theoretically, it should not be good.

[00:20:12]And they also have rice in it, which makes it even weirder. Yeah, so there's rice with sour milk.

[00:20:17]>> [laughter] >> Bro, it smells spicy as [ __ ] in here.

[00:20:22]Wait, what is that?

[00:20:24]That's rabbit. Oh, hell no.

[00:20:26]>> [laughter] >> Yeah, I don't know, gang. They got some questionable things over here. Bro, go look at that. That's the same exact thing over Oh, no.

[00:20:36]Wait, this this looks good though.

[00:20:47]By the way, I have a little boo-boo, a purple one.

[00:20:51]>> [music] >> And I got my guy right here.

[00:20:53]>> [laughter] >> Bro, bro, I'm going to cut this short.

[00:20:59]Bro, I don't know what the [ __ ] you're saying, bro.

[00:21:02]You don't know what's forcing you to eat that, right?

[00:21:06]>> [laughter] >> It smells spicy. I can't sit down and eat. I got to keep moving.

[00:21:11]>> [music] >> Maybach music.

[00:21:17]>> [music] >> Yo, we saw a Rolls-Royce. Not even a We saw a Chinese Rolls-Royce. We don't even know what brand it is. It literally a column in it. It had like the Maybach wheels and everything. It got the little like top like boxy cut to it and then like it goes down. It's just It gets like bigger and bigger.

[00:21:36]>> Yeah. So, the starting price of that car is 60k. Yo, Chinese people are very persistent. Yo, we came out the Maybach and they're quick. They're like, "Hey, come look at the watches." He brought us to like some underground like bunker type situation and it was just like You knew You knew we didn't belong there. I mean, this hotel was the craziest hotel I've ever been in in the world.

[00:21:56]Uh you want to say the price of this hotel room or the [ __ ] was I think like $200 a night.

[00:22:01]It's so It's kind of crazy. Whereas like in New York, if you had this, easily $10,000 a night. Easily $5,000 a night [music] to $10,000 a night for sure. For the location, too. Imagine like this being like prime Times Square. [music] They were in a good location, too, which is insane.

[00:22:18]>> walk out, we can get anything we want.

[00:22:20]Yo, talking about how much the dollar goes for in China. Like, I'm a millionaire in the US, but I feel like a millionaire in China only. Like At that point, it's like he probably feels like a billionaire.

[00:22:33]We're Chinese, right? But They don't speak our Chinese here. Like, there's no >> Mandarin. So, majority of the country speaks Mandarin. Yeah. And we speak Cantonese. Yeah, we're as useless as a white person here, bro. Like >> Almost. Almost. [laughter] Something just dropped, bro. The allergy test I took at the hospital, they just sent me my report back. We're about to see what I'm allergic to. You ready? The report shows that you're allergic to You're The test reports that you are allergic to beef, >> [snorts] >> grass, >> [laughter] >> and house dust mites.

[00:23:06]Please avoid contact.

[00:23:07]>> Easy. Bro, beef?

[00:23:09]>> Bro, please avoid contact with these subs Yo, just [ __ ] kill me.

[00:23:13]>> [laughter] >> I GOT TO AVOID BEEF? BRO, we had beef like for I think every day this year.

[00:23:20]>> I had beef my entire life. What are you talking about, bro? That's been my favorite meat, bro. Like, I don't really like pork. I don't really like chicken.

[00:23:27]I love beef.

[00:23:28]>> Crazy, bro. This is insane.

[00:23:30]Beef is insane. Bro. Wait, that's actually crazy. You know why? Cuz when I was on my diet with my personal trainer, I never broke out in hives the entire week. And there was no beef?

[00:23:42]>> Yeah, there was no beef in my meal plan.

[00:23:43]That entire week I was like, "Okay, so it has to be something that I'm eating outside." Nah. I can't eat wagyu no more. I can't eat ribeye.

[00:23:51]>> You can't eat any of those, bro. Wait, what?

[00:23:54]>> meat, no beef, no steak, no nothing.

[00:23:56]>> Wait, this is actually so bad. I I I think I'd rather not know.

[00:23:59]>> [laughter] >> Yo, I think I'd literally rather not know, bro. I can't touch grass, EITHER.

[00:24:05]>> [laughter] >> PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY TOUCH GRASS. I CAN'T EVEN DAMN I CAN'T EVEN [ __ ] touch grass no more, BRO.

[00:24:10]I GOT TO STAY IN, BRO. OH, [ __ ] me, bro.

[00:24:15]>> [music] >> So, I've actually had a few hours to actually sit down and look back at my results. And although at the time when Danny was here, it was kind of funny, you know, cuz I'm allergic to two things, which is beef and grass. But I found out that it's not really grass, it's like I'm allergic to the air, like pollen in general, which is like more allergic to than beef. So, right now, I can't eat beef, and I also can't really go outside that much. And I don't know, at first, I was kind of like, "Uh, you know, this is kind of upsetting." As people say, health is wealth, and I think I got the wealth part figured out, but I definitely don't I health part dialed in. And you know, it's just something I got to deal with right now, which is kind of crazy. I learned that it is very, very [ __ ] rare to be allergic to beef. Like, it's insane.

[00:25:05]But, I started realizing that I should probably be more grateful because well, look at where I am right now. I'm literally in China with my friends, and we're about to have dinner soon, and I can't eat beef during dinner. We're about to go on a boat tour. You know, like, I am where I am in life because of not focusing on the negativity. And yes, it does suck. Like, I can't eat [ __ ] beef. Like, that is crazy. But, at the same time, apparently, I also can't eat lamb and pork, either. Not because I'm allergic to them, but because it gets cross-contaminated at a majority of restaurants when they cook it because they use the same pan, they use the same oil. For example, I can't eat McDonald's fries because it's cooked in beef oil. So, like, what the [ __ ] am I supposed to do now? Like, it's actually insane. But, like I said, I want to be more grateful. So, like, I realized I mean, I am pretty grateful now because I could have died anytime within the last few years where I kind of ignored this allergy until it got really, really bad. And now, I visited the hospital, and I literally could have went into [ __ ] I don't know what's the word, like, anaphylactic shock, and I could have died. I don't have an EpiPen on me. So, I could have died within the last year, and I wouldn't have even known. So, thank God for that that I know about it now, so I can take precautions in the future. And I'm not going to lie, I'm getting a little weight anyways, you know, I'm getting a little weight right here. I'm a little chubby, so I think not eating beef and not eating McDonald's french fries will do good for me in the long term. So, at the end of the day, like I said, I'm generally like a positive, uplifting person, a funny person. So, I'm sure the group chat's going to make a bunch of jokes saying I can't eat beef and whatnot. And you know, I wouldn't have it any other way, you know? So, I kind of see it as a positive thing for the long term. So, it is what it is. So, now it's time to break the news to my friends. [ __ ] >> [music] >> Yo, Danny, did you tell me or not?

[00:26:50]Did you tell them about but out?

[00:26:51]>> It's actually shitty. Well, the test results came back. You know what you're allergic to? Like no no no [ __ ] Like swearing on my mom's life. Rice?

[00:27:00]No.

[00:27:02]It's so bad, bro.

[00:27:03]>> What? It's two things that's funny.

[00:27:05]>> Is it meat?

[00:27:06]>> [laughter] >> All all red meat. No. And air.

[00:27:12]>> [laughter] >> All right. It said it said grass, but it's it's like pollen.

[00:27:17]I'm I'm really allergic to [ __ ] air.

[00:27:19]Yeah, it's really bad. That's why he has hives? Yeah. And apparently I could like die. So in spring he he in spring he is crazy, bro. Yo, look at the what the hell?

[00:27:29]What the [ __ ] is that doing, bro? That [ __ ] crazy.

[00:27:33]No, let's say you were dating Jess. A girl expects you to bring her to a steakhouse. You'd be like, "Nah, I can't eat steak."

[00:27:39]I'll bring her. What are you eating then? Huh? [ __ ] salad.

[00:27:41]>> I'm eating the breadsticks, bro. Wait, that's our that's our yacht, Ru Fang?

[00:27:46]>> [music] >> What the hell? We're on a whole yacht.

[00:27:52]Bro, I've never been on a tour boat this big. It's usually like some dinghy like raggedy ass boats that everyone sits in like the seats on the top and that annoying tour guide. Yo, what the hell?

[00:28:05]This tour go crazy. Holy [ __ ] Geez. God damn. Nah, this crazy.

[00:28:13]Yo, China does boat tours different. I'm telling you, bro.

[00:28:17]This is insane. Yo, remember the Chicago boat tour? That [ __ ] was ass. What Chicago boat tour? I forgot. He's just standing on the boat. Apparently the Chicago boat tour was the number one rated boat tour in the world. I didn't know it was cabin, bro. Maybe in America, maybe not in China. Bro, look at this.

[00:28:38]>> [music] [music] >> Bro, I have never seen a prettier skyline than this in my entire life.

[00:29:00]Like, what is going on?

[00:29:03]It doesn't even end. There's another city over there. Like, a bunch of cluster buildings.

[00:29:09]>> [music] >> Yo, this really kind of sucks right now cuz we are at a food market and I can't eat like half of these foods cuz they have meats in it or red meat. Like, you see all those skewers right there? I can't have any of them, bro. Unless they're like seafood or whatnot. This is actually insane. Bro, this is actually crazy. Like, it didn't really sink in until now that I really can't eat any meats. Like, I got forced to go vegan.

[00:29:37]Like, what the [ __ ] But, we got some tofu and I got some oysters.

[00:29:43]They ain't going full vegan with me. The whole trip. [ __ ] it. No beef. No beef.

[00:29:48]We eat tofu. Tofu only. Oh, we got some oysters. It's not oysters. Oh, what is it?

[00:29:53]>> Scallop or clam? Oh, it's clam. My bad.

[00:29:55]My bad. My bad. As long as it's not beef, we good. Yo, I finally found something. I finally found something I can eat, bro. I can eat centipedes.

[00:30:04][ __ ] >> [music] [singing] >> Uh-huh.

[00:30:15]>> [music] >> So, it is currently the next morning and I feel like it didn't really hit me until yesterday night and I've had a lot of time to kind of think to myself, but yesterday night was when we were at the night market was kind of when I really felt like, "Oh, wow. This is really going to impact my life, right?" In the food market, I couldn't eat anything. I ate tofu and I ate oysters or I ate clams. And that was like [music] the max of what I can eat there. I couldn't eat any fried rice that had meat in it. I couldn't eat any other red meat. I couldn't eat xiaolongbao. I couldn't eat my favorite food, dumplings. So, yeah, it's kind of settling in, but I also realized it also impacts not only my life, but my friends' lives, right?

[00:30:54]Because the entire time we're looking for food, they had to be conscious of my allergy to [ __ ] beef. Like, what?

[00:31:01]Like, all we do is eat beef. So, it's like, you know, we had to be conscious of that and we couldn't find any restaurants that didn't serve like non-beef related things. So, we had to hit the night market, which like I said impacted the itinerary a little bit.

[00:31:13]But, you know, still staying positive. I feel like it's not like the end of the world. First of all, first things first, we probably have to do some more tests at the hospital, so it's not confirmed that beef is the thing that flares up my allergy. The reason why I can't eat beef is because, well, I'm allergic to it, but it's like it might be the cause of what flares up my anaphylactic shock. I haven't had one yet, but it could happen. It That's why I went to the hospital and I don't want it to go do that. I'd rather just not eat beef, obviously. But, yeah, that was one thing I'd test for. There may be other things that's causing my allergy and it might not be beef. So, we'll see. We still have more tests to go. I'm pretty sure it is beef though cuz after looking back, like every time I eat beef, that's when my allergy starts flaring up and I feel like my throat's about to close, but it probably is, but let's go ahead and do more tests and be optimistic about that. And talking about being optimistic, I feel like a lot of successful people when bad things happen to them, whether it's a health problem, whether it's a business problem, whether it's anything in life, they kind of do something called a reframing and I've been doing a lot of that without even thinking about it. Like, reframing is kind of like thinking of or trying to be grateful, right? Of of what happened. If I remember what Alex Hormozi once said is that, I believe his dog passed away and it was like a really early age.

[00:32:24]Maybe it was like 2 years old or 3 years old. And I remember he said something along the lines of, well, I reframed my mind to believe that maybe dogs only were supposed to live for a year, but I got to live with mine for 2 to 3 years, so it's actually better than average. Is it a delusional? Yes, it is. But, you know, you can't control some of these things. So, kind of and your brain is honestly the most important thing that you have, which I am grateful for as well because when I got the MRI results back from my brain, I was completely normal. So, my migraines aren't related to anything that needs require surgery and I haven't had a migraine ever since the medicine. So, we're good to go on that. I'm grateful for that at least.

[00:32:58]So, yeah, I'm reframing a lot, you know, I'm like, oh, maybe I traded off a normal brain so I can't eat meat. Like it sounds so stupid, but like, you know, I was talking to Danny about this and we used to come up with these crazy scenarios. Like, yo, a million dollars or you can't add sauce to any of your food. Like no sauce for the rest of your life. And these scenarios and Danny's like, yo, what if you just pick a scenario where you have an amazing life, you're financially free, you have amazing group of friends, but the only thing in your life is that you can't eat meat. And he's like, well, a lot of people would take that scenario. And I'm like, that's true. So, you know, still trying to stay positive right here and trying to reframe it to where it seems more optimistic and more positive. Like I said, a lot of it just comes back to being grateful. So, yeah, we'll we'll see how today goes, but with the change of a lot of my itinerary because now I literally can't eat [ __ ] beef, bro.

[00:33:42]Like [music] this is actually insane. I searched it up. Apparently, it's like so rare this condition that I have. Well, it's not confirmed yet. We'll see. Hopefully, in the next vlog, I'll tell you that, hey, I am allergic to beef, but not that much. But, we'll see. We'll see. There's a more tests that needs to be done, but as as far as I'm concerned now, I just don't want to risk eating beef and going into anaphylactic shock and just like dying. Like imagine the headline, yo, Andrew Yu dies off of eating beef. Like that is insane.

[00:34:06]>> [music] >> Do a quick fit check for you guys really quickly. Got the Balenciaga as a sweater. And what shirt do I have? It might look like a Supreme shirt, but this is just a wholesale blank tee off of the APM wholesale market. I got fake Chrome on. This is actually a really popular brand in China. It's called Blackhead. It looks really cool. And I have a matching bracelet set from the same store called Blackhead. And then my pants are Uniqlo. Well, yeah, wearing all black today as usual. But today feels like the right type of day to wear all black to match the mood.

[00:34:43]First time taking a train in China. And before you enter the train station, you have to get a checkpoint. They're looking for like bombs and [ __ ] which is kind of crazy. But I feel more secure that way. I mean like now I know nobody has like a knife here or a gun here or like anything like that.

[00:35:00]Kind of cool. Yo, low-key we need that in New York, bro. Like it feels so secure now. Like everybody got to go through a metal detector and check their bags and stuff before entering the station.

[00:35:12]>> [music] >> Yo, so all the trains in China have this like barricade where they won't open unless a train comes. So no one can push you onto the tracks, you can't jump onto the tracks. And uh yeah, it's another safety parameter they have in China that we don't have in the US. Yo, their train stations here look like the airport, bro. But like in a good way. It looks clean, it looks safe, modern.

[00:35:32]>> [music] [music] >> All right, if you're wondering why I took the train, this is why. All right, that was the train I came from. And the reason why I took that train is because it does this.

[00:35:59]It goes through the damn building, bro.

[00:36:01]That's the building I came out of.

[00:36:03]Geez.

[00:36:04]Imagine like living there and like you have a train under you at all times.

[00:36:08]>> [music] >> So, what I've noticed about China in general is that in the US there's like pockets of people or tourist spots or like there's pockets of like hot places, you know, like where there's like a lot of people and then like that's it. Like for example, Miami, there's like the design district, right? And then there's Brickell, and then there is Miami Beach, but like the in-betweens of it, there's not really that many things in between.

[00:36:37]Like you kind of go from hot spot to hot spot to tourism spot to tourism spot.

[00:36:41]But in China, it's like everywhere I go, there's people, there's businesses, there's restaurants, there's food, there's things to do. Like you could not even have an itinerary in China, you kind of just walk around. And as far as I'm concerned, I've never really hit like a dead zone where there's like nobody around, or I've never really hit like a an area where there's like no one walking, or no restaurants, or anything like that. Like I could probably walk any direction 2 miles any direction, and it would just be straight up like restaurants everywhere, food everywhere, people everywhere, things to do everywhere, malls everywhere. I've been to so many malls at this point, they're all starting to look similar to each other.

[00:37:15]>> [music] [music] >> Can't eat beef, but I can eat sushi at least, which is my favorite food anyway, so I'm grateful for that.

[00:37:32]>> [music] >> All right, we are in old Chongqing now.

[00:37:51]I don't know if it's like actually old and they modernized it, or they made it look old, and it's like completely brand new buildings to get tourists like us.

[00:37:59]I'm hoping it's the first one, it's like the old buildings and they kind of modernized it and make it super modern and fancy and supports shopping malls and stuff.

[00:38:06]>> have concrete in the ancient times, I could be wrong. So you're saying this is old or not old? You think this is Not old. You're saying they built it to look old? Yeah. All right, so I'm fact checking that. It used to be old and they modernized it, maybe. But they fixed it up, what do you think? Maybe.

[00:38:19]Possible. Cuz like these designs look old, but they also look new. Like I don't really know how to explain it.

[00:38:24]Maybe it's all the LED lights and whatever, but these got to be the hardest souvenirs I've seen, bro. That's the tram and it's moving.

[00:38:30]What?

[00:38:32]That's the city of Chongqing with the tram.

[00:38:35]Yo, this one's hard, too. Like the train moving through the buildings. Oh, that's tough.

[00:38:40]That's tough. Wait, these souvenirs go crazy, bro. The These are pretty cool, too. It's like the city lights of Chongqing. I feel it's too bright for a damn alarm clock, though.

[00:38:48]>> [music] >> Bro, they got a Tim Hortons there, bro.

[00:38:57]They had Tim Hortons back in the old days.

[00:39:00]>> [laughter] [music] >> Look at Look at the cats.

[00:39:15]And he was like, "No one knows."

[00:39:18]No sense. No, no, no. It's soft.

[00:39:23]Yo, the cats want to attack attack daddy. Yeah, the cats are [ __ ] with you. Oh, yo, they tough.

[00:39:28]Yo, what are they doing? Yo, you want to do it?

[00:39:31]>> [music] >> Out out in your brain.

[00:39:36]What? Yo, you got to do it or do it us.

[00:39:38]We're not listening to you. You got to do it us. If we get it right, we going to be You got to start doing it, bro.

[00:39:44]So, [ __ ] So, [ __ ] What What What What was that? What was that moonwalk?

[00:39:47]>> [laughter] >> Bro, I had his own twist to it.

[00:39:50]There's a whole live stream production going on over here with the chat.

[00:39:56]What the hell are they doing over here?

[00:40:09]All right, we're about to go back to the hotel, but the cool thing is we have our butler on WeChat, so we're going to text her to fill up the pool, so when we get to the hotel, we can go ahead and take a dip in the pool. This is crazy because service only exists in China low-key.

[00:40:21]>> [music] >> Yo.

[00:40:26]>> [music] >> Disorientation should have just rested, called your phone, and I should have just texted. Block down, should have just touched your street [music] therapy, should have invested. Diamonds danced, they should have been tested.

[00:40:36]Follow his eyes, you can see the intention.

[00:40:40]>> [music] [music] >> Oh man, fresh up out the sand, February [singing and music] 10th. It's the boy, but I'm still the man. Yo. They have a whole live production. We're going to hire them to like take a video of you on a bike. Yo, what they doing? Hey, yo.

[00:41:09]Oh, never mind. You think he hold me or not? Me? [laughter] You think he can hold me?

[00:41:12]>> I don't [ __ ] know. You got to pay extra.

[00:41:16]Yo, Danny. I think we should try that with you first. [laughter] If they can hold you, bro.

[00:41:20]Oh, [ __ ] All right, Danny, your turn, your turn.

[00:41:26]>> [laughter] >> God, shot the buffalo, [music and singing] never ducking low. I don't stop, man, I'm stuck on go. Always hug the road, [ __ ] a op, make his body roll. Yeah, a lot of those, started out doing [music] college shows.

[00:41:41]How was it?

[00:41:42]>> was fun as [ __ ] Really? Oh, [ __ ] >> Didn't do it, it's fun. Yo, that [ __ ] was fun, bro. Okay.

[00:41:48]>> Yeah, it was mad fun.

[00:41:49]>> Give me Give me 10K, I'll buy one. You give me a ride back. I'll give him 50 bucks, I can ride it again.

[00:41:53]>> [laughter] >> Was it scary?

[00:41:55]>> Oh, in the beginning, yeah, cuz you're not controlling it. I was like, wait, I got to brake. I'm like, wait, I can't even brake if I wanted to.

[00:42:00]>> [laughter] [music] >> I don't keep up with the trends, but I do not have a ceiling. I'm way candles to be and my pull up game is mean.

[00:42:18]>> [music] [music] >> I like that girl from before. She's cute.

[00:42:31]She's not your type.

[00:42:33]She's all my type.

[00:42:34]Baby Gs.

[00:42:35]She want a white boy. All right, go go go. She's right there.

[00:42:39]Nah, I got my girl. Target in sight.

[00:42:43]What you looking at him for?

[00:42:45]>> [laughter] >> Bro, you going to shoot your shot or not? No.

[00:42:51]I'm going to record her, so >> [laughter] >> if she sees this vlog, bro.

[00:42:58]I You don't want You don't want that footage later, huh?

[00:43:01]>> I don't want the footage, bro. Get in the damn car.

[00:43:04]>> [laughter] >> How do you know the way I feel?

[00:43:09]You got me losing [singing] my mind.

[00:43:11][music] Oh.

[00:43:19]What's up? So, we are now back in the hotel. It's our last night in Chongqing, but I got some stinky tofu from the very very nice lady downstairs, and she was so nice. And I don't know if you guys know, but in China you guys can't tip or not that you can, but apparently they find it disrespectful. I really really wanted to tip that lady cuz she was so nice, and she kind of reminded me of my mom or my grandma. But, she made us some stinky tofu. If you don't know what this is, it's in his name, but it's basically just tofu that smells really really bad.

[00:43:50]God damn, it smell like a [ __ ] baby diaper, but it tastes really really good. It's basically a fermented tofu and like I don't know, bro. It tastes good cuz they put in all sorts of like sauces and oils and whatnot. And as you guys know, I'm like vegetarian now, so I had to eat like tofu. But, one thing that I noticed that was pretty interesting was on the way back to the hotel our cab driver asked us where we were from and we told him that we were from the US and in the podcast I was reporting in I mentioned that people in China doesn't really care if you're from the US. They don't have any questions after that. Oh, you're from the US?

[00:44:21]Cool. But every other country I've been to, if you say you're from the US have mad questions. Oh, is it better in the US? Is making money easier? I don't know, like just generic stuff about your country. In China they do not care if you're from the US. If anything they think the US is below them cuz the cab driver was telling us like oh, why you guys in the US? Isn't it so easy to get shot there or robbed there? Or like I heard the news that there's like mad like homeless people there and we were like, yeah, that's true. And he was like, oh, like did your parents move to the US and that's why you're in the US?

[00:44:50]And we were like, yeah, that's pretty much it. And he was saying like, oh, I assume that your parents regret it now, regret moving to the US now and they wish they could come back to China cuz he was mentioning, well, he's very patriotic towards China obviously, it's his country. He was saying China is way cleaner, more safer, cities are more beautiful, more things to do here and he was like maybe like ask like 20 years ago US was the right move but now China is literally on top of everything. From my trip here I've seen that it's it's it's mainly true. Of course there are some things I can't tell like the work culture or the life culture or what locals are actually doing. Obviously I'm really only in tourist areas but I will say it's mainly true what he's saying and it's just so crazy to me that the locals here don't even think the US is a top tier country anymore like at all.

[00:45:33]And he was saying something really interesting. If you have enough money you can buy a citizenship in the US but apparently in China if you have a US passport you cannot get a Chinese citizenship at all. Now, I wanted to fact check that. Apparently you can get a Chinese citizenship but it's really really hard. I think in the last 10 years only like a thousand people have gotten it. And yeah, that's that's basically a nothing. It's probably like less than 1% of the entire population.

[00:45:56]You know, so it is true like if I wanted a Chinese citizenship I cannot get one especially with my circumstances, right?

[00:46:01]Majority of people that get them usually have a family here or own property here or like have special like circumstances.

[00:46:07]I'm not one of those people. You know, that's just what it is. But yeah, I'm going to finish my stinky tofu. Um we still have a few more cities to go. If you want to work with me one-on-one, there's going to be a link down below.

[00:46:16]If you want to use AI to help you start or scale your drop shipping business, like right now let me find my phone.

[00:46:22]It's currently 11:00 a.m. in New York or 10:00 a.m. in New York and we're up $3,000 in profit for one of my stores already. So I'll see you guys in the next vlog when I'm in Shanghai. Peace.
