Fulfill your life

quote from what Mr. Han advise me on our Wednesday lunch : if you don't want to encouter with frustration, then yo may go back to corporate ", this is somewher an astonshing remark to me. yes, choose what I like and like what I choose, seeing Dr. Yang this morning for his great invention : communication boardd, we share and exchange idea for about an hour, then, we touch upon been an entreprenure , he's been in the field for 12 years, I am only one year young, however, we have the level of understanding. this is totally different from what I experience in Sony Group, maybe in the year to come, I will forget everything about Sony. maybe....

last night, with the blessing of doctor, father check out the hospital and me and my wife enjoy the rare moment of our own, we decided to check the restaruatn Mr. Han decided to loan and or invest, it's locate in Chu-pei, a 90 minutes drive from Taipei, it was raining and cold, we arrived at the restaurant 11 street by 5:50 pm, this is the original store, the noodle shop was established 18 years ago and now become 2 2 stories big shop with 400 seats, rice dumplin was great, but the other dishes can't really match our expectation, the business is good, by 6:20, the old restaurant have more than 20 customer, we didn't finish all the meal and then went for the new one. in the competative restaurant street in Shin-Chu, all the huge and well-decorate restaurant line up waiting for guest, 11 street, occupied one strategic corner, it's full on the first floor, the food didn't meet our standand, but we really impressed about the business, weekday in northern town.

the test and trial force me to think hard -- is it a perfect restaurant to go chain store devleopment, I really doubt, lack of hero product, can't be copies and with strong local attachement, if investment is a must for Mr. Han, it may take 3 years to devleoping to chain operation, for a single restauant operation in Shin Chu, the profit is fat enough for them, me and my wife really don't know why it need to borrow money from lorn shark and go the misery road. wrap up my report, I need to inform Mr. Han about my observation, frank , honset yet ammerture. a 40 millions loan is too much for the restaurant, the risk is high, to turn the loan to investment, the share should be majority unless management is not significant, but spending 40 millions is the beginning of the chain development, if the time frame take more than 3 year to roll out, it won't be a pay off project for Mr. Han. without emotional weight.

How can I do and what should I do?

Talk to Jason about room to read, this is good, my English is ok to follow the conversation and we are happy to sum up the go ahead agreement, now we are waiting for Ta Ya's sign off contract..

Question : who is our next customer? and how to get a loan for csr community?

SMS marketing

you can only delect the message once you finishing reading it. or at least to access and activate it. what a great weapon in marketing.

Inherit and contract

This is a major difference working with multinational corporation or Domestic Giant, the ralationship built in different concept, in multi-national corporation, even the global CEO were contracted employee, they follow the rule of contract, system and protocal. in local company, there's no contract bindling with you, you either heritage from the owner or to walk the thin line to make a turning point - from employee to employer; the road map for these 2 type of career are totally opsite, and sometimes, it against the training and value system you equipped before; it took me a year to learn, but I didn't get it through, until celine make it clear to me. mentioned thousand times that no man will give you his own property in writing, you have to act as you are ready for the gift, everything is blur in the local giant, no matter how large the organization is, they will never tell you the clear picture. I am so stupid, trying so many times to outline the picture, it only reveal with shadows.

to heritage or to inherite someone's career is not stealing someone's property, I don't get it at the first tiem, Celine use a great metaphor to make my realized the meaning of inherit someone's business. -- It's like someone ( the owner ) driving a car, now he is too old to take the driver seat. however, the oil tank is full, he need to find somebody to be the driver, a driver who will follow the roadmap and continue to drive his car to the destination draw by him, as long as :
1. the new driver he picked won't go the wrong way and change the road map.
2. the new driver won't steal the remaining oil and sell it to someone.
3. the new driver knows when to refill the oil tank and to hand the car to another truthworthy successor, if the car dosen't broke by then.

If I agree to be the new driver, I should act as I can be trusted, never reveal my uncomfortable with my current situation, risky my family only for pursuing my dream and don't have faith in what I believe before.

Mr. Change said a few word with important message : they are too old to make decision and to learn the details, they can only consult, if we can pick up all the project, he can trravelling and take long vacation often. he also mentioned that H. Han have the problem with his leg, it will refrain him from making aggrestive decision. there's no motivation for him to go further.

tomorrow, my schedule lunch with Mr. Han, I am not sure if the answer is there, but I should be positive enough to show my confidence in everything.

Mr. Hochen is a ture brother to me. Lulu is thinking on behalf of her friends. aj is a person who I can't trust.

Jae on board this morning, now we have 4 in a group and have a specilist in CSR reporting field, although I am not sure if the need from enterprise is there, but I will try my best to work and learn.

as told celine duing the lunch, I played for almost a year, she should be mad about me, very upset. now I should contribute as much as I can.

as wife told me, don't worry about the money for more than one hous, it will narrow my mind and shrinking my will. the negative thinking will taken all my brain and I will lose every confidence in me.

Doing Great Thing, Making Great Move, not necessary Earning big money.

sunrist at Ankor Thom

A request of seeing the Ankor sunrise raised on the 8th of Dec. the second day of couple outing. I am kind of passive to this request, then at the closing dinner, 2 couple join the discussion, they make their commitment and I should follow with confirm the option for them... we have to assemble at the art louge by 5 am in order to see the change of the light.

Jame's wife didn't fell well in the midnight, it leave only me to go with another 2 wives. I am not in found of any sunrise, but take a early morning experience at Angor Wok is an unfortable experience, and to be the chairman of the event, insisit and continue my service until the last minutes is my commitment. we stay by the lotus pond from 5:20 am to 7:00 pm

Don't worry, be happy

Be happy is a serious lesson to take, when reading the headline yesterday, I was so depressed. it mentioned a family of 6, 5 of the members suicide by jumping from a tall brige, the worst part is, they committed suicided in 2 terms, first, father brought daught jump 4 months ago, yesterday, mother took another 2 boy to go with them at the same site. the reason: debt and jobless, I really afraid that the fortune will come to me... this is a big shadow in my heart when AJ asked me to return the financial arrangement all in a sudden. company is running out of cash, we don't have spare money to suppor both my family and the company, I have no concrede idea of how to walk the road. I am a bit of losing. so, how to be happy and reducing my worries? this is a great lesson to take in the coming months.

M. help to consolidate my insurance, by borrowing from them, I finally put together the amount to be return to aj. at the same time, I am playing to reclaim the Fon related fees occured, if there's no way to be friend. I should not bear any liability in cash, this is a simple rule, I owe to nobody, and no one owe me. I don't know how much is it, but at this moment of time, saving one dollar is one dollar.

Still need to come out with the finance plan before Jan. otherwise, the cash issue will narrow my vision and not allow me to see any prosperity ahead.

jae on board today, a mix feeling come to me, I should be happy with a reporting expert join me, but I am worry about the current business can't leverage his expertise and the salary increase is another borden to us.
