Diary of a CEO

The tide is high again

Receving the information from Tokyo that this time for sure, our Chariman of the board will step down and release his corporate relationship with us; Y. is the person who I directly report to and who offer my contract 3 times in this company; in addition to this change, comes another news that his successor is the person who running the Taiwan operation , the man conduction micro management scheme and a very troblesome person. If I have to report to him and to sustain the endless questioning, I may concider to leave this company earlier than the contractural obligation; I am not comfortable about the mail copy to the person who re-assign to our operation in April; I have a strong objection to his take over COO position because the games he play and the dis-honesty behavior which I discovered;

My wife soothe me down and advise me not to take front confrontation with this person as I am not as low as him; even I have the answers in my heart, I don't need to show to everybody in public, the only thing I should do is do more for myself from now on, as Japanese had their own agenda and they will never counted you as their brothers; A.'s departure from JP is so vivid. I am going to step on the road after him? C. called and asked about the private company. I send her a message and show my supports to her after the kick-out party, she was doing her best and I should support her anyway; the change of corporate management push me to aggrestively networking with other people, now the sense of crisis is high and I don't have time to waste.

C.T called in late afternoon asked if I am interested in handling on cable broadcasing corporation with a nimble operation of 20 people, over the phone, I tell him I am not interested , but for the reason of the industry, but not the scale of management; he feel much comfortable, wife is surprise about my instant trun down the inquriry, this is again a commitment, determination and faith in myself.

The speech in NTU this afternoon went well, preparation makes perfect, the lesson in Shanghai is so valuable, my attitude to everything - especially in public speech is in very prudent attitude. either turn down the invitation or accept it in a longer window and prepare will in advnce; to tell the whole picture of entertainment industry within 2 hours is a challenge, I managed to wake up almost all the student. Professor Chu is creative enough, she asked one team to so an introduction of me before opening my speech, 10 minutes of Me and the Topic I am going to present really interesting, it is a very refleshing experience and and good interactive session of class design. after the speech, Professor Chu walked me down the stairway and told me how impress the speech I delivered and told me on the Q and A session, I managed to fix one of a trouble student at class, by pharaphasing his question and respone with a challenge. all the student burst out laughing, I thought they were laugh at my reaction, instead, they are happy to see this boy been fixed by me - well, I don't mean to humiliate anyone, but to adopt a humon way of interpretation, but somehow the purpose served. I don't know why.

Wife worked so hard on Rice Dumping, but this time, the taste wan't so good, I eat 4 of them for dinner to show my support, this it too much time consuption, for last 3 days. worked day and night... I told her let's make it a 5 years routine, doing it every 5 years.

Wife advise me not to create emily in our company. so I will invited these J. colleage to dinner as scheduled, I should not be notice that I am not happy with anything and I should causully tream them well ...

Finish the Coco concert inquiry this afternoon, Mama called in late afternoon and leave a message, I knew she want to get the answer about venue before booking the air ticket. as the entertainment news today headliner is Coco is engaging with Bruce.. this make me feel the concert idea wasn't right, I honest told her that the venue is not available for the months of Sep. Oct. and it might be too windy or it may bump into raining season in Nov. so, we better quit the idea of doing concert this year.... when reply with the answer, they cancle the visit the Taipei on Friday, now I have more time to enjoy staying in office....
