Gjergj Luca reveals how he started the business and why he named the company

Businessman and entrepreneur, Gjergj Luca

The businessman and entrepreneur, Gjergj Luca, told the show "Opinion" how he got into the fishing business.

He said that everything was a coincidence as he had gone to rest with a group of friends in Shengjin for a few days.

"Coincidentally, with a friend of mine that you know, I had a colleague on television, with Mondi, Mond Lako, we went to Shengjin on the island, to Kune and we said we would stay in a tent for 10 days. In '92. A group that we would spend 10 days with. We take with us water, wine, wine and some hooks, some things. I was an amateur (fisherman). Now I didn't enjoy anything all the time, I just sat hunting. A friend of mine, a cycling coach, had a small motorbike and he tells me that a fish company has come to Patok. Even all this white fish tells me, what are we going to do? I told him go see he takes it. He comes and tells me Lucë, come here once. He tells me, I sold the fish. You did very well, how much lek did you get? And he puts his hand in his pocket and takes out 1,400,000 Lire. I tell him what are these? Fish money. Like the fish lek? Yes, 1 million and 400 thousand lire was wealth at that time. I left the fun and the story with these. I started hunting for 10 days and returned to Tirana with 3 million Lire. I return and start selling cars and in Shengjin I build a 5-meter boat. And to Rana e Hedhun I raise a tent and take the first boat. Then I take the second boat and we hunt for dinner. I entered from the Velipoja harbor, loaded the fish, and the first restaurants in Tirana had started," said Luca.

As for the name he has chosen for his company "Rozafa", he said that it is the name of his sister, who has been away from him and missed him a lot.

"The single most beloved thing in my life is my sister. It's my sister's name and it started with that type... My sister was in France, she studied in Enver's time. Then she fled to America, she is a doctor, she is a lady and I have missed her all my life, I have had her far away. I also wash, dry that sister I have. I gave it my sister's name and with that company I opened in '92 and today, from that day, I continue with it," he said. / CNA
