Lunch and Dinner

Lunch invited by D. - YPO chair from HK, he is a good lobbist and a sophisiticate chairman, whenever there's chance to meet YPOer, he will call a meal gathering out of his busy scheduling, networking take time to blew, this is what he good at and this is what he value for. collecting information from him and A. the other day, I am pretty much confirm that travelling industry - especially inbound tourist from China will bring next wave of ecomonic booming in Taiwan, and I double comfirm my next move.

Share my insight with 2 directors about moving sales / direct shop funtion to business unit and make it a vertical chain in current company, the design of organization is a much complicate issue than any management topics, no matter is a functional operation or profit center consolidation, there won't be perfect design in one company; my philosophy is " Identify the best to perform his / her good at ", I share it with them and use a metaphor which is, if this is only the symphon of blood cluster, try to find the origin of the problem, don't be too radical in handle the problem by conducting a transplate surgeory, the consequency may be peace forever, tried to calculate every single risk before implementation. Gut is a very intangeble power, you might have the shouder to carry, but what if the nature of the company can't take it, then the disarster will come.

Coffee over with J. and learn more about EZfly situration, knowing more means little, but it keep me in the loop. S. agree with lending the agency licence, we may go for the bid, H, Cheng line after J. he asked me to invest again, and wish me to support more pocket money, I don't know why I should be in such a place? to measure the relationship cycle form his circle, I should not be the first perosn calling for help, this must be stopped, if I am rich enought, then this is another story, but I am not in the position to save his ass all the time. time for me to learn how to call it an end.

Dinner was a great one, me and my wife attend C.'s house, we were there 30 minutes before the schedule, she bought ready food for the in-house dinner, as Pony wasn't home then, there's no cook preparing for the dinner, We checked their house, the first self owned house is a great experience, everyone take it as the jewel , we talked over the dinner table for more than 3 hours, Pony join us by 8 pm, a nice guy, it seems like 2 families have a never ending story to share. it makes a good combination , and we almost finalized the plan for Side Project - Our gourp and our project to the future , we position Side Project a " National Travelling competitativy Research Center " and to lead the policy before any commercilization of industry, this will make my next step a perfect match with Side Project. we cross our heart for the future.
