The story of a coffee man: starting a business to realize a dream also helps people to realize a dream, but it is laughed at by others.

The moonlight coffee shop in Tainan City opens on the second floor of the Li Jen Store on Chongming Road in the Eastern District. There is no obvious sign, and the entrance gate is a "narrow building." it is hidden in an inconspicuous corner of the busy urban area, but it can still be a success. The reason is that the owner, Huang Jianhua, "likes to share and make friends." he not only realizes his own business dream, but also helps others realize his dream, making the store full of great positive energy. Because "too idealized" was not favored at first, he finally made achievements under his insistence.

Huang Jianhua, 42, once worked as an information engineer for 15 years. At 38, he decided to resign to pursue his dream. He likes to make friends and share. It is his long dream to open a shop that provides "fine food, comfortable space and professional quality". He first worked as an apprentice in western restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops for half a year. He spent a year and a half mastering technology, equipment, raw materials and management. It opened a shop in the eastern part of Tainan at the end of the year before last.

"the shop is on the second floor, the location is not good, and there is only a 50% chance of success! But Huang Jianhua believes that "when the opportunity comes, you should seize it." the first half of the year is the hardest. There may be no guests coming to the door all day. Later, with friends bringing friends and word of mouth, there are more and more regular customers. He says, "Let the things you insist on do better. You have a dream!" "just because business is slow for a while, don't change your persistence.

Moonlight Cafe offers vegetarian stewed rice, spaghetti, etc., as well as professional coffee and bright space. Huang Jianhua also began to realize his second dream, "help others realize their dream!" "the young baristas in the store have dreams of opening a shop. Huang Jianhua teaches middle-aged women in second employment to take food and beverage licenses, and teaches young people to learn desserts and set up stalls in Taitung. Even if the owner of the photo studio wants to change and open a coffee shop, he will also come to talk to him about ideals and reality.

Huang Jianhua also provides free in-store exhibitions for young illustrators, and he also pays for framing. Huang Jianhua said that the purpose of opening a store is to bring satisfaction and sharing to others, and he also hopes that everyone's dreams can be met and realized. He defines himself as a "professional manager" and is willing to do his best to help people with dreams come true.
