I just realized I haven't updated my blog for a while. It has been two weeks since I came back from Asia. And I was in Miami for 4 days for Market America World Conference. I was in LA for 10 days in January. What a great start.
Talking about my business trip to Hong Kong, Dongguan, Xiamen, and Taipei, it was great. Seeing the factory in Dongguan makes me feel being lucky to live in USA. The living and working environments there are horrible. And the factory employee there make only 700-800RMB per month. Xiamen factory employee make more than Dongguan's, they make 1400-2000RMB. It was nice to see how things were made at factories. I now understand the workflow of our products. From a bag of plastic material to a nice package of fins. Amazing. But I don't like the city at all. People there lack of civilization because they are mostly from countryside.
At Xiamen, I got more motivated by working with the employees there. I felt much more involved and being clear about what my job duty is. Besides work, I like Xiamen because people there are nice and food there is very similar to Taiwanese food. And most importantly, I see civilization in this city.
At Hong Kong, I helped our HK office setting up the booth at Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre. That was my first time setting up a booth at a convention, very handful experience. Didn't really do much after that, just wandering and shopping around in the city.
I visited a metal factory in Taipei. Dad had a nice conversation with the owner of the factory. I learned a lot from it. About how to talk to your prospect and get additional information of our competitors from them.
Had a lot of nice food in Asia, including Dog meat but it wasn't tasty than I thought. I'll never eat it again.
