Dr Thanh’s journey from an orphanage to founding and leading Vietnam’s largest beverage company should be an inspiration to entrepreneurs everywhere.

Vietnam! What images its name evokes in the minds of my generation and so many millions of Americans. Few other countries have exerted such a hold over our collective imagination.
It’s been half a century since I first went to Asia in 1968. That year was one of the bloodiest of the Vietnam War and I spent two years in the country calling customers and selling international investments to Vietnamese and American businessmen. I witnessed incredible suffering, but also the immense fortitude and determination of the Vietnamese people.

About the Book
What is the book about?
PHUONG: ‘Competing with Giants’ is the story of how ‘family values’ gives entrepreneurs the competitive edge. A compelling ‘rags to riches’ story of how our family created a billion-dollar empire. At times, it reads like a ‘thriller’ but I can assure you it’s all true.
‘Competing with Giants’ shows leaders of any size company how adopting the core belief, ‘nothing is possible’ leads to a thriving business in a highly competitive and rapidly changing business environment.
It tells the story of how my family business grew to more than 1 billion in sales- despite adversity – using Asian family values. Anyone interested in successfully building any size business, locally or internationally, needs to read this book. It’s about making the impossible be possible.
Why did you walk away from Coca Cola’s $2.5 billion dollar offer?
PHUONG: We invested in ourselves, our company, and our own vision. We knew we didn’t need Coke’s backing, and we didn’t want to accept an offer.
