   • Adaptation during the COVID-19 pandemic included launching frozen healthy lunch boxes, expanding to new franchisees, and entering supermarkets and pharmacies.
   • Key strategy: Testing business models before franchising and responding to customer demands without losing core brand focus.
3. Modular Steel Construction Industry:

   • Key success factors: Respectful partnership in business, clear role division, persistence, and rational decision-making.
4. eco-brick Manufacturing and Sustainable Construction:
