What Mr. Han said

6 months in Himalaya, my entreprenureship begin with the shower of Mr. Han, he offer me and Lichn a warm place like home, a well decorated office with comfortable enviroment, without rental and adminstration fees, we were able to reduce the cost to only payroll and have time for choosing better customer. beyond the physical accomodation he provided. the most important impact during the past 6 months was the hornor to have lunch with him regularly, twice a week lunch gathering means a lot to me, without any hiding, Mr. Han share with me his life, his way of doing business, his lessona nd experience being an entrepurnour and from time to time, listen to me, reponse to me and encourge me the road ahead. to more I listen, the careful I listen, the more I learn.

This week is the significant week with him, Lunch on Monday, this is my first lunch with him after the 10 days leave to Portugal and Spain; when report him the status of Teleman and how the company built the social enterprise, he listened carefully and told me : the filtering machanism for Teleman Europe must be very powerful, when touch upon the adaptation to Taiwan, his concern is whethere this deployment sustainable? he asked me to use my rationale instead of emotion only, he said to me passion to do good is very good, however, there are so many good indeed, I must carefully pick what can be done with effective result. the advises from him and the prior warming from partner trigger me to press the break, call it a stop to this project. then Mr. Han advise me I am young still, should have a career , not only doing CSR, but to bulid my career, for the sake of my family and children, he have not objection to my dual career deveopment and willing to think about it from his view point as well. this touch me heart.

Second lunch took plac on Thursday, I reported to him the second invitation from Chairman Chen of TBS Group ( an integrated public broadcasting system ) to join the management team, this time, instead of CTS, but to one of my dream PTS, however, Mr. Han told me this is only a job, not a career to build, as this is about tiem to reveal Fon situation, he seems favor with this approach, but to let me know that leverage the power of internet and making money is so great ( the word between the line is : this is a very difficult task ), to build my career, I must carefully knowing what's the long term need from the community , society and customer, Long Term need is the keyword, he mentioned it again and again, share with me without money, the best product and best service will never be acquired, I finally realize why to pick finacial industry and why Money is the ultimate need from people nowaday and in the future. in addition, he informed me the idea of social banking - a machanism depolyed from the community and by the community, a complementary function to the current bank system, I am so surprise to know the very advance and updated treand were coming from a 76 years old man who never surf and browse the net, about one month ago, YK share with me this new trend and I was impressed by this new social movement and how it leverage the spirit and attitude of Web2.0, I asked how Mr.Han obtain this inforamtion and if anyone present such a proposal to him? the answer is no, and I know it immedeately, this is the first invitaiotn from Mr. Han to form an collobratlation with me, for such a long time, since he slove the tie of why I left Himalaya last time; the sharing is not ending there, then Mr. Han teach me how to be rich:
- Finding your capital fomulation business ( put the long term need in mind )
- Earn your first 3 millions US before any investment
- Make fortune by investing, with the help of friends who you help before.

Harold earned his first 300millions NT on his first investment, it shocked him, according to him , but after all, no matter how huge the earing was, the excitment level were never be the same.

Chairman Chen called the second time , try his best to convince me join the TBS and be his friend, he even willing to help me build my company, just wish to complete his map of doing a great movement in TBS, I have to say no, but it's so hard to resist. a nutual viewpoint he provide is insightful, he pointed the maturality of CSR won't come in 3 years, but it will, I should suspend what I am doing and team up with him, but, How can I devoted myself to it without build my career? I can't never disappointing Mr. Han.
