"Instead of giving them money I give them a job". A man of integrity.
he should say "instead of quality, i pump cheap shit out by the bucket and charge a fucking fortune"
Mr&Mrs Morrice ahh you mad
Mr&Mrs Morrice ahh u big mad cuz he ballin in jewelry
@@kevinmorrice lol you salty like a bag of Doritos 🙉
@@edominguez6675 stop worshipping rich folk.
This man specialize in PEOPLE. Look at how he treats people and how he speaks to them.
The diamonds are just a by product.
He is a people expert.
George George agreed, even by his coworkers who have worked for him for so long
"It"s not what you know, it's *who* you know"
You think soo?
He knows how to stroke their ego...
@Puritania very true.
A real pro at smooth talking.💯
Exactly. That's how to create a successful business nowadays. Brains and kindness.
“We don’t buy diamonds buy karat, we buy diamonds by kilo babie”
-Johnny dang
💯
And he drops diamond 😆
He real rick !!!! muhaha
EOS baby
I saw this right after the part came up lol
Cool line.
the fact that he knows how long everyone has worked for him is amazing
Dude this is not a gafa just a small company, making his money selling overprices stones on custom jewelry wich are loosing 60 % of their price in an instant because dumb rappers like to buy this instead of buying a jewelry business. You can't afford to loose 50/100 K without any hope to make money . Those rappers have poor money gestion. even worst than my english.
@@SledgeHammerMindOpener mf just roasted himseld to roadt rappers. Madlad
@SledgeHammerMindOpener you look dumb
I would never buy jewellery that expensive but god bless Johnny for hiring people that aren't necessarily experts. If you work for someone more than 10 years you know he treats and pays his people well. Props to him and his crew.
@Joe Al u just hating lol
@Joe Al fucking racist as MTF!
@Joe Al Vietnamese bro.
Joe Al lol shit broke jealous people say
@Joe Al atleast that "Chinese guy" has done something in his life unlike your sorry ass lmaoo. Find a hustle bruh.
Half of the time I'm not sure what is he talking about, but to have a boss like him who really worked from the bottom, and still willing to get his hands dirty to demo for the cam, salute man...Johny the real deal dang~
Man half of da time he speakin da cool shit
andy Hey andy his dad was in the jewelry business. I don’t know if homie came from bottom per se
Fernando Aispuro American dream is fake. He made it cause he scamming all these people of hundreds of thousands of dollars. But its whatever
andy Hey andy czcams.com/video/i3mlyENVvXY/video.html 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 lol
andy Hey andy he’s from Vietnam
I can tell you first hand, I grew up in Sharpstown most of my life, where he started out. I remember his tiny little shop in the run down corner of the failing Sharpstown shopping mall. That man deserves everything he has if he was able to survive under those harsh conditions of running a business in that empty mall. He literally came from very bottom. I used to think he was all showy, but actually he is the opposite. He's a respectable hard hustling business man with a good sense of morals.
Respect
I met Johnny yesterday in his shop. He walked right up to me a daps me up. He is exactly who you see in this video. Dope as guy!
you can see how he actually appreciates his employees, this guy deserves his success in many ways

@@johnscoot6814 we have a word in our country that applies to you... you're bait.
I love the way it shows that beyond his superficial side.. he helps these workers by training them, "not just giving them money" and it shows .People 15 years working for him . That is the testament of how the guy has a soul in-spite of how materialistic the diamond industry can get.
I don't see how anyone could say a bad thing about this guy. He treats his customers and his employees with respect. Seems like a real cool dude who built his business up by working hard. Much love and respect to Mr. Johnny Dang.
I'm not into the whole diamonds/expensive jewellery thing. But I am into rags to riches stories so I love this.
Same
🤣 What? An what rags?
yeah, leave the diamonds out of it
Following Khoa for a long time, I strongly believe in his personality, his credibility, and what he does is really right. It’s a pity that a good person like Khoa has to encourage a petty, vile, deceitful, and dirty lifi, Johnny, please admit your fault, fix your personality, don’t worsen the nature of our Vietnamese blood

love how he is so respectful about anyone he talking about... he is always like ''oh post malone on of my favorite artist, very good friend'' and he never even met him in person before and everyone is just straight up vibin with Johnny!

Snoot dogg in town "- JD.....lol

when Johnny Dang has more than what he needs, he builds a longer table not a higher fence, a very good Boss or employer i can say
levels right there bruh
Johnny is so likable! Like, imagine having a boss like him!
You the man, man. Love seeing that you're grateful for your employees.
Man it's awesome how he said he hired inexperienced people, and then trained them to be jewelers. He literally gave them a skill that they could carry for life. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Same here i prefer the learn skills and make money later
Saved him tons of .money to hire inexperienced people.
tell us true
@@gabrielgant2569 yeah he didn't want to pay what the workers are really worth
hes so dope and his energy is great. he really is great at what he does
I'm like really, really happy for this guy. What a great success story.
I like when he said i connect people together, thats what success is all about.
He seems like a really humble, honest, and genuine guy. Mad respect for him
Respect
7:25 Probably the most important part of the whole video. Dang say's something that almost every employer has forgotten, but every employee looks for. The man thinks long term stability and peace of mind.
Every boss should be so caring then again it's easier when you have a steady income and can pay the company's bills, your bills and payroll
Johnny is smart and friendly,,super diligent,patience,motivation..Good luck.
He is a humble guy n down to earth never forget from where he comes from ...
It’s dope scrolling through the comments and not seeing any hate on this guy. That’s wussup. Good job, CZcams.
Lol right I fw that I mean it literally dosent matter who u are lol CZcams critics Anyone but not this guy Johnny is a good man who would love to give you wisdom and advice and tell his story
Good Job Johnny Dang ! Sock it to Me ! Yee Hee
Johnny is a shinning example of the American dream, such a dope dude .
@@leonordeborbon2121, I was thinking more along the lines of the whole immigrant mentality & and making something from nothing. But sure, whatever you say, bud..

6:37??
Seeing someone living his dreams is inspiring to me... God bless us all
Playa I’d hate to upset Johnny,he seems to have a beautiful soul. Stay blessed Mr. Dang.🙌🏽
Good for Johnny bringing different cultures together that's what America is all about brother
Johnny is no joke the Image of the American dream.
Such a cool guy.
Dang has excellent client service skillz. He truly loves his job.
STARTED FROM THE
BOTTOM AND NOW
HE'S HERE.
That's awesome his employees stay. Normally means they're happy and paid well.
Uhhhhh u meet celebrities and u get to look at real money all day I'll stay 4 like 19 yrs or more also
Holly shitt i cant belive this shit ...
As i was reading your comment he just funking said that fucking imposible 🤔😲😲
Zach M thats not completely true, seems like hes hiring
immigrants to pay cheap in exchange for sponsorship for citizenship
Normally, yes. On another note, actually making the pieces, is another reason why they would stay. They love the work.
Humblest person i've seen, he is not just telling you he is showing you, appreciating his employees , donating an just been well round nice guy, we need more businesses to treat their employees the way johnny dang's treats his people. i truly believe he treats his employees like family.
Agree
God bless this Guy for giving people the Job for a lifetime
We need another House of Dang!! Im gonna be on my way soon!
"I feel like i have to bless people. More than just give them money. It's better to give them JOB." .... wow man is a LEGEND.

wow this man is a real success story….not to
mention some of his employees have been in the
game since his beginnings thats dope
The brother speaks slightly better English yet he gets subtitles

Johnny gets back the energy he puts out. His staff and his customers are happy. He deserves every success.
4:06 actually made me laugh when he drops the diamond and the guy just calmly says
“U bought it. it’s yours”
Appreciate this guys work, i am working with diamonds since last 15 years and couldn’t afford a single one , this man is great buys them in kilos 👍🏼👍🏼
There needs to be a TV series following Johnny around. It would be very interesting to watch.
