Diary of a CEO

Quata Visiting

Attending YPO event on last Friday, it was an educational trip to Quata, the biggest PC maker in the world - 25% plus of the PC were made by them. an OEM / ODM firm located in Linko. I didn't expect too much about the company, but Barry did a very good presentation to us when greeting all the member to his premise.

A few learnings from this trip : there's laways a window from an burst of idea to the finish product. they take 4 stages to segement this window, such as product in 18 months or even shorter. All the Quata-man is trained to be good in 3 major area : Techonology , Humanity and Physical in good condition. we pay a visit to 2 major interesed of the operation, one is the high-tech condensed TFT-LCD manufacture, a 2 billions US toy of his own. and to realize the 3 steps of making the TFT-LCD -- ? ( See, how easy people forget things. it happend only 2 days before ) , Cell and Module; the other operation of interest is the musume of his own - where he collect the best art work from Chang Da Chen. I can tell, not all the members are interested in the ancient art and antiques. however, we are previliage to be there and I did take this opportunity to use my Clie's rare function - taking low-solution picture with no flash light. I don't know how they will turn out. but a very good chance to leave memory of my own.

Sharing a few thing with James, a new member who is also professional mangers. working for one of the senior TPO member. and take a quick moment to share with C's wife about how a couple working together - any conflict and any fun part. it seems both husband and wife running the same company wasn't a pleasnat experience. well, I am getting into this now.

Night dinne with C. and met Pony -her husband. we only encoutered for less than 5 minutes, I insist to know him by my obesrvation. finally we met and I am arragning a family dinner , this is a very important ritual before me and C. start the business of our own.

Forum on Thursday is a neve ending one. we been away for too long, and we tried to follow the forum protacol and other machinesm , this is good, it pave the way to another long version of Forum - the retreat. we have book Royal Chioche for the retreat, I am working it with Jamie ( never the less, I am working independently )

Fruit went hysterias agian today, we almost give her up, until last minutes, I regain my love to her, and as a father, I wish her will and knowing how to be fair to her friand and her family. this is the only thing left if nothing remain with a person.

Finish the Fareastern Airway marketing proposal in a day, I am willing to help, so I did. so simply, no easy, especially under my current situation - pressure coming down form top and throwing up from the employee. I shall take it easy and have the word with me -- until the last day. Flight with samrt attitude, don't create emily. never use emotion. Never.
