Diary of a CEO

Kick out party

As mentioned, a busy weekend this week, finish the exercise routine at TGS, I met with Henry at the famous tender pork currey house; I miss the taste for sometimes and can't help to set our lunch meeting here; 2 hours conversation covered varies of topics, from his genius insight about digital content - how to make it slim / brand new / fast and cheap to win the final battle of the network application war -- the mobile device ( mobile phone mainly ) ; he is smart and ambitious, I don't know why he will end up now with nothing left -- I mean, according to his statment, he is poor but insisit on building his empire, then we follow the flow to the T. issue, the girl I decided not to recruit from Shanghai due to not yet ready operation, this may make her frustrated, but my decision was to make it clear and don't lead to a bigger problem in the future; maybe it's expense concern, maybe it's ooperation concert, but my decision is for killing the ambiguilty in between. this decesion didn't favor with his concept, in other word, his way of handling people issue. but ... nevermind. he developed a think-it-after habit , which is apporching the ending of conversation or meeting, the money issue will bring out, I am expecting this without surprise, I support him on his last 2 China trip with my own saving, but the scale of investing his company - a Chinese Herb natotech extrate skin care product is never my area of interest; I turn down his idea and told him I am not interest and have no money to dispose now.

Follow 2 hours I work on my speech next Monday, " Practice makes Perfect " is the unbeatable golden rule, the lession in Shanghai and the returning faith on NCNU speech prove it once, I will not accept speech invitation unless I have time to prepare and I am comfortable with the subject; I adjust a few slide and fine tune the logic - by re-sequence the order of slides;

Members meeting at Regent goes smoothly, met A. there and have a brief understand of why he want to leave JP. But my observation shocked me and I write it down in my Chinese Diray, now I tried to make it an English version : 「When seeing his nervous in his face, I can reflect my worried in my heart; as I know I will walked on the same path as he is taking today」, it recalled me the other day when JC chat with me with absent mind duing the thanks you lunch, he said like this : this is the fate of working at multi-national corporation, what a sorrow and what a pain, no matter how big he was, the capacity will never satisfy the empty heart; the determination is drawing the line - hard and heavy.

Party was OK, the gurduation show is fine, A. and N. didn't involved playing their role entirely, lucky enought that the sound and charactor effect paid off. I send a message to C. and show my support. I hope she is not too concern about the result.

A. open his eye poaching the target for his future, I understand how he feel and I undestand why he is doing this hunting.... this is the faith of professional manager.
