Hello Again

this is not the perfect excuse to explain why I lost contact with my blog for so many days, but to returning my Viao to PMC, waiting for the new PC and the dysfunction of my home PC attribute to the window created in between. thank for my Sony Ericsson W 800, I blog some of my photos from time to time.

Return from Beijing last Thursday, that is a make up trip for Digi Idea, and as the same time to finish my last commitment with PMC, this time, I go with Steven and Victor, they put me as the hotel where I never stayed before ( and won't image to stay before ), a hotel call " Fortune Land International ", the room rate is 420 RMB per night, they feel this is a VERY good hotel, now you can see how hard a list company in Taiwan to survive, I don't mind to stay at the hotel thy picked, this is purely for returning my promise to them, I appreciate Chris Babeda an Antonio's show up and assistat me in the consultataion session, Chris take the morning session and act as the A & R director helping the label to review there project on hand. a very profound session. during the lucnh, Antonio join to share with us the executive's viewpoint toward the nowaday music industry in China. Antonio is good. energetic and aggresive as usual, we met the night before, and I learn his concern and worries in Sum entertainment - a joint venture between Universal Music and Shanghai Media group. if there's a third party who help him to gain his power and bringing the investment , it will be a triple win situation for him. I am not sure if this is a great idea for investor, but it indeed is a great chance to be part of the development industry.

Take earlier fly back and prepare 2 presentation fro Friday, slept a little bit and finally working our a ' Draft proposal " for LCPC - The company who invite me to be there independant director and now provide us a change to be there corporate strategic philantropy consulting firm. we send 2 project , one is the forest - tree project coming from Tung Chen, a guy spend 10 years watching the decline of SheMeng Dem. now it's time to do good for the earth and for the land we breath and live. Bengo is happy, happy about our preparation and happy about our direction which fit his favorable approch -- plant more trees. maybe it's too good for him to believe, Bengo called me the other day to double check the feasiblity of doing what we proposed:
1. Don't let the government involved or spend money, cause it will bring legislators from different party.
2.Bengo need us to be the consulting firm and to follow a contract process with the company
3. He will be in town on Dec. 5,6,7,8, and expect to see the key person in this projects
4. We need a contact list function by function to be connected with LCPC
5. This is a major project can scale up and roll out if we are doing it right at the first time.

in the afternoon, Stan's presentation conduct again, Mrs. She didn't show up again, althrough we've been advise she is the key person to call the shot, but during the discussion process, we never saw her but to over heard that she is not happy with our development, but.. this time we did the Reibin Salon and Top 10 DVD budget, at least , Reibin Salon is an ongoing project, after these 2 presentation, I am exhausted. really.

share with wife why I am not happy for so long, this is our midnight talk when I was in Beijing, finally she knows I am looking for my way back to Corporate, although frustation keep hitting me, but I know this is the best way to keep my faimly in a safer place, I didn't know if I can make it, but I should try, this is what it keep bothering me.

Mudan Bay resort retreat is a good experience, the place is OK, but the discussion is great, everyone spend decent time in sharing, this time, a very deep sharing, Ste. Thui share with us how he is doing the Leverage Buy Out - the Management buy out and the rationale behind and the machanism to make it happen. this is a gamble for him agian, I am not sue this this buyout will complete, but it seems the stock goes his direction.
