It is heavy pressure on Mr China at this period of time. In his latest report to Boss, the comment that came back was,
"well ,looks like you are just doing admin stuff, i would like to see some sales and volume......."
There is so much for Mr China to deal with , technical , admin, interviewing, SnM... and it is all coming at a go for him here. Flying Dutchman came today, the tech expert, held very long meetings to finalize all the machine details and all. From his mouth,"who the fuck chose this system here ? doesnt make sense?"
Arrrrggggh.... the main worry for Mr China is the support that he has , the weapons, the bullets that he can shoot with. The Chinese Balls seem to think it is sony playstation plug and play system and do not understand the extend of it. Mr China cant understand them , with millions out of their pockets, they do not really care?
Next came the budget forecast from HQ , Mr China isnt assigned directly a number. Bad or Good? Mr China sees the bad side, his importance in the company is eroding, they are getting sick of the china-story. He has to make things happen now..... so is worry number 2 for him, as the sales pple are sitting around, laughing and playing having fun everyday.
The number to achieve is also another worry, despite being so low. haizzz , Mr China wants to achieve , but among giants back home, he is a walking wounded beast.......
Then came the news that the accountantS is arriving. Damn the fucking Chinese side, i had told them i only wanted 1 of them , not both! How am i going to deal with 2 of them? how am i going to train 2 at the same time? Bloody idiot , only sit and drink ard , not too sure wtf is he doing.... The worry is how is Mr China going to allocate them? They are not professional accountants, Mr China fears seeing another blur chicken that will evaluate his blood pressure higher than before.
N there is change of traveling plans, Mr China has to go to Beijing early, rushes back home to wash his clothes , iron and pack. He has yet to prepare his seminar stuff and the salesman think it is some easy shit, damn..... At Beijing , he has to conclude a deal with a distributor, then head to Chongqing and then to Chengdu for the 3 day seminar, and yes , he is the one that will be doing the speaking.............. Haiz.....

Words of Wisdom - Wilson Kipketer
Mr China admires Runners, sportsmen, they carry a defiant spirit essential for survival in this society. In them, many people lived. How many people would wish to wish to run as fast, jump as far or be the 1st to cross the line. How about watched their runs and performances , imaging to be their shoes, basking in that limelight to cross 1st with a whole stadium's approval.......
But how many people knew the torment they went through? how many people would want to train as hard as them , or go through the hell they went through...
Wilson Kipketer
World Record holder of 800m
800m is by far one of the hardest event in track and field, with the most stringent mix of speed and endurance. By speed, you need to have decent 400m sprint speed, which is rather dependent on talent. By the end of the 1st lap, you will have to carry that lactic laden body for another round. THe last few metres are always one of agony, especially in a tough race, where speed slows to a crawl, hands pumping , heartbeat till a max and begging to stop, cold sweat and lactic laden legs taking 1 more step after another......
As the commentor describe in his world record effort, "wilson kipketer, reign supreme in the 800m."
below is an abstract of his interview:
“I would like younger runners to understand earlier than I did, that winning a gold medal is not always the difference between success and failure. If you do anything in life to the utmost of your ability you are always a winner whether you come first in the race of life or not. Self achievement is the key to happiness and well being. It is a key which has unlocked my life and I would like it to do the same for others.”
His full interview:

As all athletes, they have their ups and down, Wilson too, cannot escape that reality. But the comeback he staged after recovering from malaria was amazing. Challenging the very best knowing that he could have been "there" if not due to the illness. He took it in this stride, accept the fate and went back to challenge the world. Malaria wasnt an excuse, it was an accepted fact and past, he move beyond it. Isnt Life all about the same ?
But how many people knew the torment they went through? how many people would want to train as hard as them , or go through the hell they went through...

A Day that everything gone wrong
Not a good day for Mr China.
He came back from a deal discussion and suffered the effects of two 4 hr drives in a matter of 2 days. Gums and tooth is hurting, duno which is e actual one, causing headaches for him. Been on a enforced liquid diet. This is especially tough for a food crazed Mr China. But the pain is more than enough to deter any munching. Can imagine the pain to force Mr China to drinking porridge only...
Road to office was blocked today and Mr China had a walk a very rough and dirty detour. Arrived and saw horrors of horrors. Someone in office had just forwarded a simple request to her to another company. Prepared for avalanche of attacks to come. Mr China's mail content looked something like this:
"XXX company doesnt cooperate, XXX doesnt seem to care, XXX is delaying us"
And Mr China's colleague forwarded it to XXX company.
During the day, corresponses from France, Sg and China of XXX's subsidary followed on, claiming on various issues and all. More is expected to come as Mr China had to rope in response from Jap to defend himself. Let see tomorrow.
Sad to say, it was Mr China's boss that advocated the direct forwarding of the mail without censor. WHY?
NA is absurb and a piece of SHIT, attacking Mr China on the issue of the Fair Organisation again.
He demands discount from the contractors but refuses to speak to them. Asking Mr China to do it instead. The discount Mr China is of course never sufficient for his fucking standard. When the offer to connect NA directly to the contractors, he rebukes by asking Mr China's sanity. Fuck him.
Next he questions Mr China's contribution on the Fair. Mr China highlighted in BOLD and ask him on this statement. Felt like asking back what is your fucking contribution instead? NA was in hotel at the day of the setup, didnt participate but came in the end and complain a whole load of shit.
Lastly, fight broke out when Mr China was not around. Someone was knocked uncon with sitches to the face It was an unfortunate incident between 2 of Mr China's friends. It is just one of those situations where you cant point a finger at anyone. GREY.
Visited the person at the hospital. Happen that the parents of the one that caused the injury came to apologies, resulting in lots of drama...... haizzzzz.....
ADDING to all this mess, Mr China's 400k EURO lab equipment to be shipped to him met with the most absurd problem. Machine supplier called to say they forgetten to load one piece of the equipment to the shipment. Leaving it stranded at the dock. Wonderful. Why would they forget to breath instead.
LAstly............... normal work rountine have to follow......... haiz...
Just another day.......

It has been a long time coming .....
Mr China doesnt know where to start or begin, he has been far too behind in writing here. Maybe he just have a fear of sharing, maybe he doesnt like to "re-live" those struggles when he is relax at home, maybe , maybe.
There has been rather alot going on in Mr China's life, mostly work here and it has been frustrating, when was it never? The severe inefficiency here is pissing off Mr China, while the politics back in HQ is also driving him rather nuts.
A simple request from him to HR for a "heater to dry clothes in winter" and a humidifier was turned down. The reason is so laff-fa-able, please hang your clothes near your room heater and buy medication if you develop dryness related skin issues. With humidifier, electricity cost will raise. *KA-PUI* Mr China has developed chi-na instricts to pour scorn on this nonsense.
Trade Fair: NA arrived and condemn also everything. He looks like a man on a mission, to bring down everything, looking like a doc with a microscope, he zoomed and pointed at everything. However instead of complaining n fucking the booth setting company, he diverts everything on Mr China. And yes, his report reach the directors that the booth is a mess. Great. Mr China felt stab in the back.
Mr China would like to sum up his responsibilities:
1. Technical:
He is in charge of developing up a RX lab. The floor plan, the process flow, the machines, the technologies. Not to mention the importation of the machines. The choice of all the periperal equipments, etc
2. Commercial
The sales side of the biz, if the lab is up, with no customers, Mr CHina will be the first to wrap himself in his homeland's flag and jump from the lab building. For that, he has to develop the 4Ps. Determine the strategies , the Price, Product, Promotion and Place. He will also be required to go on sales trips , to use the least cost for the most efficient coverage
3. Marketing Support
To sell things that are marked more expensive and premium , Mr China has to develop the necessary materials to support it. He has to assist partners to sell his lenses.
Arrrgghhh.... thats too much.... all 3 has to be timed properly , 1 can do without the other in this triangluar relationship. The pdt cant be out without the biz and customers. The biz cant do without the marketing support.
ENough.
Let Mr China share something funny today about the severe inefficiency of the Chinese partner. He decided to follow the accs to town today. To go to the bank to check the funds transfer. A whole gp fucked in the car. Duno what shit they are up to.
1st stop: the bank, Mr China checked it and they left to a govt agency to submit things. Everything done in 20mins. Head back to Office? nope.....
One idiot decided to go to buy medicine, not e store 2mins away but a store duno how far away. Then his cousin's son , or duno-wat-shit hav to go and measure his eyesight. And yes , that young shit doesnt belong in the company. Why he is tagging along? Mr China have no ideaS.
next stop: The driver decide to buy firecrackers for a friends' wedding.................. enough said.
Then: someone has to go and take money.............
the most absurb: they have to fetch someone's child from sch........... and it is not easy task, with a big damn crowd outside, no idea how to find that kid. Then have to go to the kid's home to take some clothes and drive that kid with the clothes back to office.
Mr China got damn fedup with the wait. He drops a comment to that young person in the car, tell me , how would u feel if you are the boss of this company and this is happening?
Even more funy, someone decided to make use of the small patch of soil surrounding the Lab's compound to plant vegetables..... There is a big variety of them. Wonderful , greenery....
