Diary of a CEO

SungPing Conference Room and Papa Razzi

This is a private club for those who born with sliver spoon; located at the heart of commercial zone - sometimes we call it the Wallstreet in Taipei; a perfect camonflage for private club, accorinding to one of the attendee, it make sense to place your private hideaway in the office building , when whiter-cellar off for the work, the office building is empty, any funtion you perform at the building won't create noise or suspecious, so, SunPing conference room located in an idea zone, out of our comfort zone, yet create another zone of spetacular imagination. this is richman's world and they are consturcting games only a few affordable.

To be include in the itimacy club take a while, the filtering system provided by YPO, you qulified to be the member, then you are recruited by Forum, and the terminal stage is you may doing anything with your brother together - Good or Bad. as the day is the day Chariman of YPOI's first visit since 25 years ago, new generaition of members prepared themself for showing off the Tapei experience. I was among the few selective officers to participate on...from the blur point of view to a crystal looking glass.

We had an entertaining officer - or soical officer who set the route perfectly, Villa 32 hot spring bath - first you asked your in-coming Chairman to take off his cloths and naked in front of you-- WOO. We have to dance to the same track, Villa 32 is a great hot spring day Spa, this is my first experience also. a brief meeting taken place after the Jacacci, I ate the desert tower, after hot spring, you will get dizzy and sleepy and of course, hungry.

Every attendee at the meeting have the picture of Networking Development and take the first glace of YPOI strategy , quite interesting, when looking at the Shower Curtain Matching Slide, I knew that the YPOI is not run by stupid. the theme of " Led by , not run by YPO " is a good finding for all the NGO to follow - the great guildance to be taken home.

SungPing Surprise came when we arrived at the conference room, when going up the elevator, open the door, 10 more beautiful ladys were sitting on the coach smiling at us. Hey, what's going on? we had companion to join dinner? the second experience to Chairman- you can enjoy you dinner with itimacy of local flavor. good wine, good food, good music - the private club is actually a KTV lounge -- a Kitchen for catering -- Living room and other amentity, it recalled my memories to other private club I visited - Fubon etc. drinking and dancing and eating and joking,. this is by far the distance day when I esbalished Lichun and the day I drink Shark's Fin soup in public. the party ended by 10:30 pm, Chairman now leave a strong impression about his Taipei experience. I am the only perosn taking taxi home and share my story with wife - in a Forum Confidenciality manner.

The night before, I was sitting on Nostern Road restaurant district with my old friend James, I was in Hong Kong , and Papa Razzi is the restaurant I book for 2 of us. in the very beginning, he update me the company he worked with and how the conflict occured between Chairman and President, how he survive such a terrible situation and his comment on human nature. then I share with him my learning these months in regard to CSR. I tried very hard to tell a CSR history in 20 minutes but eliminate the boring part. as I was wondering how to invite him to this great business and to develop our good intention to the world. it seems he is not very into this. the commitment of time and logistic issue of his capibility keep him distance from what I proposed. then the hearing-Aid product development in Asia dosen't in line with his goal in life, J. mentioned to me that he don't like the trading business. How Come? I serve none of my purpose the night, then he challenge my business goal, how to achive the dream in such a terrible situation? how he suggesed me to find my way back to a CEO position and contribute what my good at ? this is his straight comment. and he share with me how Westerns devoted to CSR and his observation when live in UK. 2 World Wars and 911 change the heart of Westerns. Philantrophy and Corporation Responsibilty came after this, to take the same token, in Asia or in Greater China, we don't have such a thing and how can we convince entreprinours to exercise their duty when capitalism is the only thing he see.

J. is so nice to inject confidence in me. the investment and support he committ warm my heart again. I know this is a bunble road. as H. Han mentioned : you can't only take a sip of CSR, you must dig deeper, Now I understand why Mr. Han told me repeatly that this is a tough task to accomplish. Now I know.

C. is not well, I spend a few minutes with E. and obtain her observation. this is what I must do, complimentary do what I need to do.
