溯源土地與文化的實踐
「茲慕達斯·祈福聖地」沒了！我們的vuvu會找不到回部落的路了。「vuvu在排灣語指的是祖父母輩，也有子孫之意」。這是民國78年(1898年)我們部落最後女巫師vuvu拉包斯，含著眼淚語重心長說的話。
1898年底第一次聽到斐濟，是從一位剛從斐濟回國的伐木工，他說那裡很像台東，說話也很像你們排灣族的語言。1990年我們夫妻第一次踏上斐濟的土地，聽到了斐濟人的第一句問候語「布拉」和我們排灣族語的「布拉」很好之意，很相似。1991年我們夫妻帶著兩個孩子移民到斐濟，並設立的公司，初期的創業，經歷了各式各樣的困難及員工管理、上班不穩定性的問題。後來深入部落才了解，斐濟人對支持部落重要活動是非常重視的，如果你不準他們請假參與部落的重要活動，他們會寧願辭職！1993年開始嘗試排灣族傳統部落管理模式，像家人一樣的照顧每個工作夥伴，尊重每個人的信仰和傳統文化並鼓勵參與自己部落的重要活動。解決了工作夥伴們上班不穩定的問題，家族事業也開始穩定成長。
2002年我們開始擴展投資至澳洲，同時也慢慢買回家族和部落曾經流失的一片片土地。最後終於買回了「茲慕達斯．祈福聖地」。

立足南島•放眼世界
傳統的排灣族和斐濟人對家的慨念是相同的，照顧家不只是一個家，而是包括了周圍的左右鄰居、家族甚至是整個部落。傳承是滋養生命成長的動力，代代相傳的歷史與文化信仰就是生命裡最好的祝福與精神支柱。南太平洋島國與原住民耆老順應自然與文化、生態共生共榮的處事態度與哲學，就是永續生活的智慧。
Cultural Roots of Values
The road from starting an overseas business begins with small attempts, which gradually turns it into a company (point), then to subsidiaries, then extend into crossover collaborations (lines), finally forming a full-scale business network (surface).
立足根源
結合排灣族「分享與照顧」的傳統精神與現代化管理，海外創業到回家的路是由「小」開始立足，從「點」漸漸成長茁壯。斐濟的第一家店叫Point「點」，再逐漸拓展到不同地區的點，漸漸延伸成很多事業的線，最後形成一個整體事業發展的面。
Revival in The Land
The understanding of the relationship between humans and nature, the nourishment and growth nurtured in the land, mountains and forests has cultivated the character of continuous pursuit and exploration
respect culture & nature
In 1991, at 28 years old, I bid farewell to my family in the tribe and flew across the South Pacific to Fiji with my wife and children, leaving everything else behind and starting anew. We chose Fiji initially because its languages, pronunciations, and cultures are similar to those of the Paiwan people, which gave me a lot of confidence. I also believed being in a country with similar cultures would help my career development. I named our company after my wife Liana. We specialized in hairdressing products and the salon business, opened a hairdressing school, and helped under-privileged young people acquire skills and start their own businesses. In the process we expanded the family business to several other island countries in the South Pacific.
In 1994, I visited Australia for the first time with my family. The beautiful living environment, high quality of education and the ‘Dreamtime’ world view of the local Aboriginal peoples, which had many similarities with our ancient Paiwan cosmology of animistic beliefs, ignited our family’s long-term plan to emigrate to Australia. Starting from 2002, my investment expanded into Australia, and part of the profits earned were invested back into the tribe, starting from the purchase of ancestral sacred land “Cemedas Holy Blessing Land”, and slowly buying back the lost lands of the tribe. Connecting the family business from Fiji, Australia and Taiwan into one big network has given me a blueprint for realising my ideals and seizing different opportunities to succeed.
