Ding dong...
Ding dong...
Ding dong...
Wait
That's actually her name?
Ladies and gentlemen
Meet Ding
Also known as:
DING DONG DING DONG
Ding dong
Ding dong
Somebody opened the door
Ding dong
Ding dong
And intelligence walked through the floor
Ding dong
Ding dong
Careful what question you bring
You ask one simple thing
And get a TED Talk from Ding
Background pharmaceuticals
So she knows what compounds do
Worked at Shopee
So she probably knows
What your algorithm thinks of you
Business brain
Science brain
Marketplace brain too
Meanwhile I'm still wondering
Where I left my shoe
She says:
“I want to learn French”
Of course you do
Bonjour
Bonsoir
Très bien
Merci beaucoup
Next objective:
Canada
Passport in the plan
Ding looked at immigration and said:
“Yes
I understand”
Some people have a five-year plan
Ding probably has eleven
One spreadsheet for Vietnam
One backup plan for heaven
Ding dong
Ding dong
Everybody knows the sound
When Ding starts thinking
Good ideas start flying around
Ding dong
Ding dong
Put another problem down
She'll stare at it for thirty seconds
Then redesign half the town
Ding dong
Ding dong
Smartest doorbell in Đà Lạt
You came for conversation
Now you're leaving with a startup map
She joined the Da Lat community
And suddenly things got sharp
Someone brought coffee
Someone brought ideas
Ding brought a brain like a spark
Da Lat locals meet Da Lat expats
Everybody shares what they know
That's how a Da Lat business community
Gets stronger as it grows
Someone says:
“I have a problem”
Ding says:
“Okay, explain”
Five minutes later
She's found three causes
And optimized your supply chain
“Ding, can you translate this?”
“Yes”
“Can you review this?”
“Yes”
“Can you solve my entire company?”
...
“Maybe after lunch”
Ding dong
Ding dong
Everybody knows the sound
When Ding starts thinking
Good ideas start flying around
Ding dong
Ding dong
Put another problem down
She'll stare at it for thirty seconds
Then redesign half the town
Ding dong
Ding dong
Smartest doorbell in Đà Lạt
You came for conversation
Now you're leaving with a startup map
Pharmaceuticals
Shopee
French vocabulary
Canadian dreams
Community strategy
That résumé has too many genres
Pick a lane, Ding!
No?
Okay
Carry on
She says:
“Je voudrais un passeport canadien”
Very elegant
Very refined
But before she gets to Montréal
She's helping half of Đà Lạt online
Entrepreneurs in Da Lat
Creators meeting face to face
Networking in Da Lat
Works better when smart people share the space
And Ding doesn't need
To dominate the room
She listens
She thinks
Then casually goes:
“Maybe try this”
Boom
And suddenly six people
Are writing notes
That's not networking
That's consulting
Without sending quotes
If knowledge is power
Then somebody check the grid
Because every time Ding gets excited
The lights start to flicker a bit
Ding dong
Ding dong
Everybody knows the sound
When Ding starts thinking
Good ideas start flying around
Ding dong
Ding dong
Put another problem down
She'll stare at it for thirty seconds
Then redesign half the town
Ding dong
Ding dong
Smartest doorbell in Đà Lạt
You came for conversation
Now you're leaving with a startup map
Looking for things to do in Da Lat?
Come meet interesting people
Looking for Da Lat events?
Find the ones with coffee and chaos
Looking for the Da Lat professional community?
Follow the sound
Ding...
Dong...
Ding...
Dong...
Dalat app might tell you where the event is
But it cannot prepare you for Ding
From China to Vietnam
From science into trade
From Shopee into community
Look at the route she made
Learning French
Helping founders
Making connections click
The terrifying part is
She learns ridiculously quick
Today:
“Bonjour, comment ça va?”
Tomorrow:
Debating philosophy
Next week she'll probably correct
A Canadian on French grammar politely
Then apply for citizenship
With seventeen charts prepared
Officer looks at the folder like:
“Madam...
We're slightly scared”
Ding dong
Ding dong
Everybody knows the name
Smart, funny, curious
And always upgrading the game
Ding dong
Ding dong
From Shopee to Đà Lạt
Helping the community grow
With that pharmaceutical brain on tap
Da Lat community
Locals and expats align
Business networking gets better
When generous people share their mind
So here's to Ding
And whatever she decides to do
Canada
French
Another startup
Probably all three by two
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
Bonjour!
Xin chào!
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
Canada, here we go!
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
Đà Lạt knows the thing:
If you need another good idea
Just ring
DING
DONG
DING
DONG
She called herself Ding Dong
We didn't make this up
Which somehow makes it
Much, much better.
