Last trip in Beijing

2012.05.23 I am flying in Beijing on the 23rd by 7:30 pm, Mr. Cheng this driver who also pick my Meiling on her last trip came to the airport, I asked where I can withdraw cash – any bank vendor machine at the airport, I was pointed to the HSBC bank, just in the morning, I went to E-Sun bank for the international – cross boarder withdraw account and password application. I didn’t know how much I withdraw, the limit for one access is 2500 RMB, I think I operate it at least 8 times, I am afraid I don’t have enough cash for the housing rentals. Check in Rose dale hotel by 8:30 pm, where I met Mr. Dio – the real estate agent, I was going to check the site before the contract signing the following morning, but having eat, I told him to wait for me until feed my stomach , by 9:00 pm, Robert – my brother in Beijing arrived and meet me. We go to the site by walking – it’s call “ Twin Tower “, Meiling did a good job, manage to get the best price – RMB 11000 / month with a 160 square feet and 3 bed rooms service apartment – next to The Upper East Traders – a 5 start hotel, it took less than 30 minutes from the Capital airport , this is another advantage for me. Well, I like it , the only problem I see is the door – you have to push and pull so hard , otherwise you can’t really open or close it – this is a bad design, the precise problem is there, if you are older or weaker, you will have problem with the door. I didn’t do much of the house checking as I believe the Link – the real estate company will do it for me. And it’s pretty late, I have to review what I need to do for “ Millennium Vision Technology “ – robert’s company for their management team communication training . Robert sent me back to the Rose Dale, we stood outside the hotel and share for about an hour, about how he found Mark Chen a person of uniqueness and her wife – and yes, I met Mark just at the entrance of the Gate C2 – Taoyuang airport, we are taking the same flight to Beijing, I haven’t see him for years and I just arrange and engage Lucy and Mark for his speech at YPO Beijing Educational Program, I greet my thanks you in person and we talked , he said : Roger, you are a nice guy , my response is : Yes, I know, Mark, but I can’t help to keep it that way “ to be a nice guy is a nature born problem / attribution to me. And we talk about GINO – the alien from outer space and he knew him and told me GINO is a GOOD Alien – in other words, there are bad Alien also, as we shared, he disclose many interesting information to me and how he connected to Rockefeller and Buffet family – they all experienced with the previous life and next life charm and now want to connect with people who have greater mission – Mark’s couple is one of them, and it seems that I am in connection now, I will see Mark next week in Beijing. What Robert inspired me is how he wish to provide training and growth energy to the people who work together with him – from the bottom of his heart, he want them to be happy and to pursue happiness, a great mind, and he share with me to keep a “ Correct Mind “ is the first thing he do, next will be to Purify what he want to do, with no second thought , do it as pure as possible, this is truly a powerful insight to me and it lead me to a “ Do it better for MVT “ Tomorrow. Mindset. 0524 This is an important day for me. Met with Diau and learn the singing party – Mrs. Chung – the lawyer on behalf of the landlord can’t make it on time and it give me room to set up my bank card – for saving and for withdraw convenience , this is the result :  Bank card from China Bank  Sign the leasing agreement with no internet access, broken gas stove and some unhappy feeling  Manage to conduct a Forum like Corporate executive training for MVT – Robert’s company and I think the score is 9 plus  Buy some noodle and thinking of my first home cooking, but since the gas stove can’t work, I have to go to Lido for my Tai fried rice  First night at the apartment, kind of lonely and yes, not so use to it  Cable TV function don’t work. May 25 Buying my first domestic tickets from Citrip website with a bargaining price, I flight the 7:30 morning flight to airport and get up by 5:00 am, it’s my first time using Terminal 2 – domestic terminal to Shanghai. It’s a very time consuming way to find my hotel in Shanghai – Chen Kao Hotel. Arrived at Hung Qiao Terminal 3 and then I take the MRT 9 transfer at Shanghai Railway station ( Line 4 ) , then take Lin 1 at the Shu Cha Hui station, landing by 10:00 am, but checking in the hotel close to 12:00 noon. Prepare some working document for Qui Xu and I feel happy about it. Going to Hu Chng Chang for Chinese massage before the ERIC / Shanghai Forum meeting, the master is not as good as Master Lee at Beijing. I came back to hotel for the coffee and wait for the dinner. The dinner was arranged by Qui Shen, Andy can’t fulfill his promise as before, he imitative this meeting and can’t even come for join the second day dinner – which he made for the compensation dinner for not able to attend the first night discussion and diner.. Andy must be a man who can’t control himself. Chairman Wu is the person who Quisen invite to share about health care product business in China – he is so knowledgeable that draw us a few must do: 1. get the health care product license is essential – it took 2 years and the bar is raising higher and higher each year, as it concern the health issue, government officer reluctant to issue new license, they keep asking you to provide more lab / experimental statistic, increase your cost but delay the timing for issue the approval. 2. marketing is the key : since you can’t speak out loud about the effect on curing some disease , this is a food instead of medicine, you are limit to do a few marketing thing so, those who censer your advertising is the key to make a difference. And the marketing cost is huge in China. 3. distribution , another task to perform in such a big market 4. Importing or transfer of technology : no one done is before, may give is a try 5. Co-op with local health care company for leverage or cross-sell its royal customer Ming bought a club member at Star Club – we were there for drink, I can’t stay longer so get the money – yes Haibo did bring all the retreat reimbursement to me all at once. Cheng Ho Hotel was hospitality by Quenshen, we appreciate his treatment again. Stayed at executive floor and enjoy a good night. Fishman brought me a gift, not so impressive, I should stop purchase from it. May 26 I sit up very late on 25th – up until 3 am, solve W’s issue and bring a settlement as much as I can. Wake up at 7:30 , having breakfast with Eric and John and share what I know about the consumer marketing campaign Sun Way is going to kick off on June 11, I talked for 2 hours, I return and finish my Ambassador Hotel Group contract and having lunch with Vicky – former So-net PR manager who is now working in Shanghai in her professional field – PR. She may help me to build some media connection , so see what happens. Stayed at COSA coffee and complete the contract and went for the dinner at Dian She Tsai – the Traditional Shanghi restaurant, I stayed for 30 minutes and heading for Hung Ciao airport – for taking a 8:25 pm flight back to Beijing, my first experience with Hai Nan airline, not bad, it took 2 and half hours back, return to my apartment by 11:30 pm, the female driver is not a good driver, complain all the way about the short distance and the no where address. It wasn’t a pleasant experience. May 27 This is the day for attending Chun Hwa’s wedding at Beijing Mariorrt hotel – my first time to attend wedding in China. The schedule time is from 10:30 am, so, I was there, Meijing is bad to me and send very ugly message, I try not to be inflected by her. Guess who I met first at the wedding ? Monita – yes, try to pretend nothing happen, she is not so natural , of cause, especially when Eric told me Monita is souring material from him in Taiwan – this give me another smile. Chung Hwa and Si Yun’s wedding is the first wedding I ever attend in China. It suppose to be a beautiful story if Antonio’s wedding song can be sung at the ceremony, but due to his childish, all the good things soured and there’s no friendship continue for Antonio and Chun Haw, this is wired to me. All the good intention turn to bad result. I don’t know why. Thanks for Monita’s presence, I leant to prepare the Red Envelop as the wedding gift, cash is the king, for getting the lucky number, I offer 800 RMB for the meal, on the reception desk, they do prepare spare red envelop for guest , and you know what, the envelop is not the standard size, it designed with wider open and you can insert more than 10,000 RMB ( 100 in stack ), this is a new thing to me also. Wedding production going quite well, the micro movie is a good one and this is a good production. I left earlier and went for no where. I forget where to? Yes, went home but can’t
