this is my habit to tell " present tense " when opening any speech, I unveil with 2 points : sunshine, driving, breeze and holiday always accompany with good music -- this is what the boy due and REO Speed wagon provided ; 4 great talent with no release, this is the cure fact happen in the world of entrainment -- we failed a lot of people's dreams; in a business of create hype and hope, we failed 94% of them. I spend entire 3 hours with them, 2 hours for the speech, one hour chatting during the lunch; the speaker's compensation is no bad -- I was rewarded for 10,000 NT. so, I buy the family a good seafood dinner, after the speech, K drove us to Nai-Liao fish port, a now developed tourist fish port in Shin-Chu, it is so windy, we strolled in the fish market for half an hour and find ourselves a great sea food restaurant and enjoy the fleshes; after Nai-Liao, we took the west beach highway home, accidentally, we drove by another fish port - Yun-An, we stop by as well, it is dark already, a rainbow-colored bridge ahead of us, Yun-An is under a transforming process and aiming to become another tourist fish port, we stayed for another 30 minutes then drove back home.
Monday morning is the International Business Alliance opening ceremony, we were begged to present at TICC, the organizer is so bad, I could not get my badge and hardly permit to entry the venue, no reception for local foreign company, no seating arrangement and no encountering session, I am a little bit disappointed, if we were asked to fill the venue, we may send the company receptionist here instead of us, after President Chen deliver his excellency speech , I exist myself out of the venue, and found, a lot of guest do the same thing I did; lunch with Ben and know that his freshman daughter do enjoy Lee-Hom's concert and leave a great impression about him, well, I told him may turn her dream come true by end of this month if Lee Hom keep his promise and visit our office then, I will inform and invite her daughter and provide opportunity for them to take picture together, it's easy for me to do this but a lot of people can't fill it or feel it, as the VP of BMG asked my during the lunch yesterday why a lot of people in the music industry developed a very bad personality, my answer to her is , people surround super artist tend to building walls between artist and the real world, asymmetric and unbalance information create a room for margin or profit, this is the fat they want to keep it with them. Artist life cycle is so limited, they tent to take as much as they can while they can, this is the jungle rule, you can't avoid yourself.
