New faces last night

New Forum meeting held last night, although I wish to make it my last participation, howeve, the itimacy is too high to inform everyone my decison. dinner at Misunu restaurant, long talbe restrict me to annouce my decision, so, I keep it to me until end of the session.

this is a young forum, members so junior to YPO and they are relatively young in age. the fist mix gender forum in Taipei. I enjoy listing, carefully listening gave me great lesson, no one is simple mind, professional manages share the constrain in corporation, entreprunures fighting with comepetition - in and out of the business, those who heritage fortune and business from family ,try very hard to strike a balance, the life-work balance is a long debating one.

propose our service to THSR this afternoon, VP didn't attend the meeting, always last minutes emergency in big corporation to cancel the appointment, I used to do that before when in Sony - " Can Say No " is a previliage in corporation, and now it bouce back to me, I don't have hard feeling, but to take it naturally, present it in front of 2 junior staff in THSR, I am not sure if they can make any decions, but we learned that there are competitions in the same pool, is it good or bad, can we make moeny selling the consulting product ? or do we quoate our price too low? we don't have a crue to caculate , this is new to everyone.

the premeeting wieh BCSD yesterday for the final check for CHT csr consultation proposal, Mr. Chang started a joke in front of meeting attendee, it make me very embarransing, he said to all the participant that I am very rich, rich enoung to devote myself to CSR, a field that is no margin to earn. this is a bad feeling to me, Mr. Chang did a a couple times before, when present the first proposl to CHT at CHT haead quarter, he event said to more than 20 outsider that I am a " Genius ", this is so craze.

deliver our final proposal to LCY - RC ( responsible care ) on Wednesday, bowei is a smart business man, the more I have an indepth conversation with him, the more I aware his success in business is no luck at all. he do have opinion, independent thinking and determination in conducting business, we've spending too much time on this subject which become a non value added activity to our business. we call it a last strike.
