Chang Yau and Yunnai Hung

Wang She came with the real estate icon delegation from China, as an acquainted in Alasan, I was invited to the dinner with the delegation at the highest restaurant in Taipei, the 85th floor Taiwanese restaurant in building 101, Mark host the dinner for them, so, I am sitting next to him for the dinner.

2 things happend at the dinner, the land developer from Yunai told us Wu Ker Gong sold his wind chandell Yunai Hung , this is to my surprise, we were there couple of month ago to be his guest, I remember that's the harvest season, to be specific, should be the harvest week for the grape, everyone is hoping for a sunshine day, but, the first night when we arrived, it rains dogs and cats, it will never be a good year for read wine. I can see his disappointment, the shower kept for week, and he sold this property.

Chang Yao, who sit on my left, with a cold smile who were introduced by Wang Sher for couple of times, I asked his birthday, without telling me the date, we were bone on 1960, November, he only mentioned that he is a few days younger than me, until the restaruant send in a big cake with a trolly, I finally understand why he reluctant to tell me his birthday, it's Nov. 13th of 1960, his wife asked my originality, well, I am from Hunan provincy, then which county? Yu Yang... Chang asked when my father leave China? that's 1949, and he told me there's a possiblity that my father was force to leave by his father - during the civil war, his father join Red Army and fight with my father who follow KMT. Chang Yao is the first entreprenure who owns a jet plane in China... can you image? at my age, in China... he is current the biggest indoor air conditioning equipment supplier in China.

We are at the court room number 6, summon to the court on time - 3:10 pm, even I know that I am the least person to be involved in this lawsuit, however, entering court room will bring you nervous, wife asked me to send her regards to Mr. Chiang, the message is " Everything will be alright ", I deliver the message right before we entering the Court, Chiang asked me how she knows? My response is because Meiling is a very kind and decent person. her words will count. we are so lucky , the judge is a music fan - he had the habit of study the history of Chinese Pop music. we know that he choose the side already. I flesh up myself by visiting Sheng Tain Kong temple, took a good shower and relief everything out.

Spend half day at the Social Enterprise International Forum, I enjoy carol's presentation and her SE initative - the SHOKAY brand yak heir product, she is smart also, the quality of Harvard graduate should be different. after her speech, I chat with her and told her that I maight introduce her some investoer, her response is " We don't need investor, but doner ", so smart, to take grant, there is no reponsibilty in managment and operation, but to invite investor, you have to share your profit and time with them. this is totally different, the take I took from her speech is " If you have story to tell, you can sell your product once, if you have strong product, you can sell it for life" product is much more important then story telling.

Mr. Su is the president of CSC, but he complained and he is not happy, this is wired.

Tomorrow, I need to get up early and pick Miguel to the City Zoo...

SE forum



Miguel in town

my friend from Portugal came the long way for the Social Enterprise Forum, a very unexpecting encouting, I visit his office last summer, which is my eye open journey to this beautiful country, with the land triple of Taiwan and half the population of Taiwan, I fall in love with this country immediately, this time with the theme of Internation Fourm, I invited him to visit Taiwan and getting acquainted more.
Miguel spend the whole week in Taiwan, arrived on last Saturday -- my birthday, his luggage didn't come alonge, Eugenia is the first person he met at the airport, who took him to buy cloths and greet him witht the first Taiwanese crusine, -- at How Chi noodle.
Sunday and Monday is his first trip with our beauty 3 - Kim, Celine and Seting, a trip to Hulien and to explore his imaganition about Taiwan, I took the assignment of treat him dinner on Monday night at Ting Tai Fung - the MUST BE for every tourist in Taipei, follow with drinks at People's restaurant 5 located at An-He Road. then we finalize the theme for his visit and 3 important speech - first with ministor of labor - a public speech to NGO about Think project and to know David Du and Yu Cheng foundation, see if the pilot can be initativae. second is the speech for CHT at Head office - the theme is People in Transition, to share CHT will be the potential partner in co-development the tele-working machanism in Taiwan, the last one is the Social Enterprise International Forum - to share the experience of how Think project can be a sustainable, profitable and socially accountable initative.
in my mind, to asked one company taking the training course for its CSR pre-launch preparation, and to have one company invest on this Think alliance company is a Social Venture nature and this Think Taiwan or Thank Taiwan can be a good social enterprise to launch.
Discuss in full circle with Mailing about the situation developed at our little company she warmed me so many times not to disclose everything to Celine, keep mystery to her, and don't let her read my mind all the time, because this is the game she is planning, I am just follow her will to perform, this won't be good for me, this is due to the last minutes borrowing of 50000 last time, money is not the issue, the problem is how to have clear cut between our company and TW CSR association, although I knew if very well that this is her pet project , but too many hidden agenda, too many untold story,it lead me to so many skeptical thinkings. when we pay the due for the people work for the assoacation and at the same time, contribute decent manpower to their project, all the questions must have answert, after the circle of discussion with wife, we reach an agreement - be patient until next Presidential election, to see if the assocation can get hold of the political resource then. be patient but to address my concent after returning from Beijing. spend more time in financial examination will dig a clear picture.

Mr. Han lend Fan another 5 millions, the loan amount to her up to 20 millions, I used a metaphore to explained my viewpoint -- we are distance from a drawing person, throw the telescope, we watching someone is drawing , the rationale to react is either calling 911 or urge someone near the beach ( her family / close relative and friend ) to give her a hand, there's too much for us to be the almighty. but, he did it agian, it gave me great preasuer to secure his interest, thus I must serious conduct action to make the turn around a possbile future for 11 street, I don't know why my reconnecting with Himalaya is a problem sovling role, the other issue is greater, I became the Chairman of the board at Himalaya Record, then invloved in a breach of intelctura property lawsuit - as the representative for Himalaya record, I was smmoned to court today, and will be once a month until the vertic grand. I don't know what it mean to me, however, Meiling ask me to visit some temple after the court, this is a misfit for everyone.

Finding new job is difficult, I didn't pay full attention to this, no excuse but no time focusing on this, trip afte Beijing should be time to do this, no alternative and trapped me in a very horrible situation, my must survive my family before anything.

From the book" One Decision " - Nothing will happen if you don't make decison, Everyting will happen once the decision was made...neve ever say I want to make decion, to emit the Want, simply doing this...
