Beijing
2 meals arranged by Mark is a pre-warm up or set up for my presentation this afternoon, without this careful check and balance, I am not sure if I can witness the warm response from most of the attendee today -- especially Wang She and Liao Shao Kwang. I appreciate Mark who brought me here, pay all the accomodation -- even this is the first time I stayed in a hotel providing condom and some sex-build up oil.. I learn a great deal of how to be outstanding among all the new entreprenurs in China - whose who claim to be the leader today in China and Leader tomorrow for the world. the points deprive from dinner last night helps me, no theory , reducing structure ( because this is what Chinese Communist grow up with. you will never win in debating with them in the ideaogy process ), be practical and proactively provide my insight , cases from overseas and how it can be echo to local / deomestic version with a higher / deeper passion. I won the first and hope for the second with executive committe of Alasan, the bright sign is Wang Sher asked me so frankly -- where can I find you? after this meeting... I hope the fire started ....Busy and Crazy last night, no pains, no gains.... This morning, breakfast session with Jeffrey C. is quite interesting, he had a heart of doing good, promise to find an office that I can share with, he even asked how many staff I am going to recurit in Beijing, thus for him to better prepare the space, the other intersting point from the conversation is the talent management initative, well, I hope I can be contribute as well. third, the PR genius who from HK horse racing assication who is willing to do philantrophy with no underline, it seems to bridge and engage and ranking is essencial. I should keep him update about what I am doing now, as long as I didn't hurt anyone, sharing information is the only devleopment I can do now.
lunch with little mark is quite intersting, to be honest with myself, he IS the competitor from Mckinsey - highly intellent consultant who devoted himself to social venture, what he dream to achieved is what I am doing now in Taiwan, his global connection can be something in Beijing, I don't like to foresee him as enemy, how to build the value chain in between is what I should pay attention too, mark and Shu Shing did is inviting him to the Alasan meeting , I don't mind to have a COMPETITOR conduting some direction in high-level conversation, but this is not fair to him as I 've prepared for this for 3 weeks and process through 3 rehearsal, but he can only be a Talking Head. if I were him, I will not accept this invitation to show up and address points amonge this shot guns.
Dinner with Chris. B. a friend who I know each other for decade, he is consider the best arranger, producer and music conductor from Hong Kong, but didn't get to a point of devloping career in Taiwan, he relocate to Beijing just about the time I resign from Sonet, met him with a good surprise, because he worte the theme song - The Torch Song for Beijing Olympic 2008, what a great honor and unbeliveable achievement he can ever dream of, I am so proud of him, there are 2 othe project which I should looking forward to see:
1. Beijing Vision - globally release in Aug. one year prior to Olympic, all the world will see the 7 minutes documentary with the score by Chris
2. Shoochu Musical Play : dressing rehearsal in Sep.
Beijing is not like what she was anymore, this is a new, before Metro transformation, almost all the taxi put on new skirts, new construction covered the city, not so many spilt on the street. traffice -- yes, the metro cancer is now attach to this city also. this is a huge city.
The good thing of been treated like one of China's provice is the speeding emigration inspection process, you can line with locals and skip the foreign route, quite an advantage to take, this time a very interesting equipment hang outside the inspector's window, when finishing the passport check, the light on and asked your help to rate the services - excellent, good, poor and bad, WOW, this is an custome, a first impression forigner take when checking in the country, I didn't know who is the genius behind this, but.. as a traveller, who dare to push the red buttons? maybe forienger did.
Didn't see much of the city yet, on the flight here, I study all the paper and document from Alasn, revise and polishing my slides, think hard of who they are and how they react to my viewpoint.. making friend and don't let down of Mark, I think I succefully achive both goals.
change my flight and going home early tomorrow, I should be doing dinner with kids.
