A Long yet prosperary day
It rains in Hualien yesterday, the rain was heavy, I woke up as usual - the nightmare harras me for only a few minutes then I falling asleep like a baby, manage to get up by 7:30 am, I tried the complimentary breakfast provided by OLA hotel, it was nice, gounges with samll Taiwaness dishes, I am content and satisfied; choose the table next to the highway - where I can see both ocean and rains, the restaurant tables and chairs all done by the artist A-Ken, each one with unquie shape and outlook, you can spend an hour there check these wooden / metal peices.Leave a message to J. supposely he should be woke and on his way to airport, the message I send indicate where we gonna met, I pick one of the oldest local park-dumpling resaturant in downtown Haulien, why ? I love to try the local dilicacy if I capture the chance. finished half of another 100 songs. reply a few mails, checking out the OLA, taking some photos as memory, I went along to Yi-Shuang restaurant. it was crowded, I arrived by 11:00 am, the shops openned and the guest line up for the only dish they offer - the port dumpling. this is a 70 years old restaurant, the owner flamed a few old picture on the wall,late President Chiang Ching Kao and Prime Ministeor Sun Yung Shuang were packing the dumpling. fate yellow photos endosed the legend of this restaurant. it was nice. I enjoy it very much. J. and Fat cames by 11:40 am, they love it also.
as the presentation file was modified by me, we have to rehearse it before presenting to Park View Hotel managment team, we headed for the Hotel and begin the preparation, this is why I extended my stay in Hualien , helping to put this meeting together and hopefully getting the business done.
The strategy is : Fat doing the presentation, J. support his report and I will added a few point from time to time. the meeting begin at 2:00 pm, all the mangers above attending this grand scale meeting; as the file was done by me, Fat don't really got time to digest it, the presentation go as the word and nothing exciting, but until they present the works they did - flesh animation with good stroy and attractive music, we impressed everyone. but when turn to the page of budget, I can see from their eyes, they should be shocked by the budget we listed. it took a while when bringing them back for discussion. a lot of " Why " raised by the sales director -- my resoponse is positive, I reply with a " Why question means we are engaged in the corporation intention ", the diretor asked for " Free Trial Service ", I took the microphone and reply with " if K. is making cookies, there's no problem to sample it before a big order arrive, but the creative work is counted by man / hours, the opportunity cost is hight " they understand, and asked for a 1 hours break, we were escort to tour this hotle.
I stayed in Park View some 10 years ago, however the experience left wans't happy, 2 of my family member contaiminate with some gems and cause the very bad belly / intense problem. so, I never have the intention to return to stay, but with the tour and guild, my impression change totally; the newly renovated rooms is simply but elegent, the view is excellent and the amenty are state of the art, I am lucky to learn more about the hotel and the people who work here, Erica is a good girl, she did a great job introduced us everything about the hotel. returning to the conference room, G. favor this corporation but wish to talk about the budget later, I am fine with this arragnement . as the next program is checking the house band - accoring to G. they are good performer. we still have 30 minutes window, Erica and Rebbca arrange the hotel car and escort us to 7 stars lagoon -- when arrvied , we were astonished by the scene we witness, such a beautiful ocean coast, we love this so much and wondered why it name 7 stars - local and with no imagination; to be honest with you, if anyone coming from Taipei will not visit it unless locals show them the way, as the name wasn't attracted any more.
To correct this impression : the Kororo team have great idea, I supply one to them, changing the 7 stars lagoon with a new name with same Chinese Pronaciation -- The Heart Resting Coast , the fact is there's no lake or lagoon but a long and beautiful , purify beaches.
Dinner at the buffee restaurant, G.'s wife - the actor came and join us, a very courtesy manner after the troblesome scandle . the band perfroming with mixed repertoire, it's so so, if we really want to place them in the animation, they may be the backing singer or duet with one of our disnated artisit.
we took the last flight back to Taipei, Haulien Airport Station is so beautiful, this is the first I saw it since it up for running.
Haulien - as they say : the sun will bite and the land is sticky -- when you arrive, you never want to leave.
