Diary of a CEO

An unexpected Encounter

This is my last session of the day, after the long meeting with S. group - the synergy meeting after on board of the new Taiwan chairman - he called it " S. united ", I made appointment with C. a new talent introduced by a friend who is struggling in her management contract.
we suppose to meet by 9:00 pm, but she came here 10 minutes earlier, I walked down to the Ritz lobby to greet her, then L. came across me. he brought his wife and brother in law. we chat at the lobby, C. who stand next to me with a distance, this is so strange, as new talent we first me, I don't know how to introduce her and she is cute and beautiful, so, it may create some imagination of who she is and what I am doing in a Hotel, well, I don't have time to explain but to take this chace inform L. about COO's return to Tokyo. this is so strange, I came up with this idea to invite L. join our farewell dinner after Board Meeting on the 21th, but when my assitant contact him, all the numbers were not working, he changer all the numbers. so, I decided not to carry out this idea. how come I met him at the lobby of Ritz and find time to inform him about it and he seems to happy to join us.

L. was our primary shareholders and we spend some good time for about one and half year, then, everything's change and S. bought back all his stock and become a holly own subsideray, the departure of partnership cause to our disconnected for a long while, I tried to maintain this relationship, but it seems all in vain, so I talked to myself not to maintain a relationship which your counter party doesn't treat it the same way. the last time I saw him was on His father's condoldecnt memorial session, I took A. from Tokyo and visit the ceremony venue. then we lost contact as usua.

C. is in deep trouble , when reviewing her contract - a blank one and she didn't receive his copy. this is a very unfavorable contract, she sold everything to her manager who according to her, is not qualified to handle her career, it's been 2 years sicne she sign the contract, but nothing happend, I advise her how to solve the problem by her own and advise her I am not take this advantage to become her next manage as there are lot of things to be taken care before she identified her next manger, and it not necessary be me.

The synergy meeting is focus on promoting one company's aritsts doing a concert, a purly sponser orientated campaing, I don't see a true synergy and mutual benefit coming from this idea. so, I sit quite and my olny comments is to have the coordinator send out one questionair to collect information / needs / wants / goal / perspective / budget amount before making a roughy decision, it seem my suggestion drawing a conclusion to a dinner. I don't know who's smart and who's playing dumb at the first meeting.

bring foreign guest to Ting Tai Feng - gorment worth waiting, they do enjoy everything, after the lunch, they asked me bring them to the ICE MONSTOR, it listed on the tour guide, no wonder it become a popular route for tourist.
