Make the Most of a Sunny Day with a Solar Backpack

Nowadays we are having a very unstable and crazy weather. They are nothing like the ones that we usually had in the past. There are many extreme weather conditions everywhere. In some places, there are intolerably hot days; and in other parts, the cold is unbearable. Those strange weather anomalies happen because of the global warming which is a process where the heat of the sun cannot be reflected back to the sky and thus be trapped inside the earth by the greenhouse gases. This greenhouse gas is the cause of the whole weather problem and this gas is caused when we burn the fossil fuel.

So there are many scientists who try to find an alternative source of energy. And one of the proven sources is the sun. Just by using the sola......

David WeiAlibaba.com, the World抯 Biggest Online Marketplace

If you accidentally drop by a speech by David Wei, CEO of Alibaba.com, at a networking event organized by the CCIFC near the Chinese New Year, and you don’t know who David is, very likely you will guess the well-groomed guy promoting Alibaba in perfect English and with great diplomacy must be the media director of the E-commerce giant. Like the Group’s chairman & CEO Jack Ma, David Wei knows intuitively how to take advantage of media and publicity to popularize their company and ideas. But different from Jack Ma’s unassuming manner, passion and sheer personal charisma which embodies China’s entrepreneurs, an air of sleekness, caution and well-educated gentlemanship -- traits of many western professional managers -- envelops David Wei, who was born in Shanghai, received education from London Business School, and once an investment banker. The article below is largely based on what David talked that night at the CCIFC party and what we learned from online sources about Alibaba.

Jessie WangIdealpeople, Illustrious Pathfinder in Recruiting Business

Jessie Wang had her first taste of the glamour of the recruitment industry when she was tapped from a renowned management consulting firm to work in Idealpeople, a young but resonating name in the recruiting industry. Two years later, she was struck harder by the charm of recruitment when she was planted in Beijing as the Head of Idealpeople APAC.

Denis GihanForeign Investment in China

If we need to summarise Denis Gihan’s career, Business, Management consultation, Investment and Entrepreneurship will be the most befitting keywords before 2007, after which we should add a new word – China. After earning an MBA from one of France’s elite business schools, Denis spent nearly twenty years in the business world. First worked in the finance and management consulting business for about 13 years, and then had several successful entrepreneurial tries, Denis married a Shanghai-based French lady and relocated there in 2007. Thus begins his China adventure. In this interview Denis discusses with us investment and opportunities in the Far Eastern country.

Steve Xinyu LiCTG, a Dark Horse in China's Human Resource Outsourcing Market

Like many of China’s crème de la crème in the 1990s, Steve Li firstly got two degrees from China’s G2 universities, then successfully landed a scholarship from one of the Ivy League Schools. After that, a decent job in the IT industry and citizenship of the free world. For most American engineers of Chinese ancestry, what follows normally are more senior titles, bigger houses, family, and beach. But Steve is unusual. Besides solid engineering background, Steve is full of energy, has a deep understanding of both the business world and human nature, sociable and risk-taking. He knew deep inside that he can be something different. His Chinese friends also knew that.
 
The year 2007 came quietly. That year a domestic company China Talent Group was looking globally for a director of business development. CTG needed a talent who shall have international vision, new business development capability, both locally and overseas, and of IT background since they planned to upgrade their IT system in the near future. When Steve’s domestic friends learned the opening, they referred him. Instinctively sensed the value of the position, Steve without any hesitation grabbed the opportunity. Now newly appointed as VP of Business Development at CTG in this January, Steve was more convinced of the rightness of his decision more than two years ago.

Charles GAOWorld-Leading HR Firm Adecco to Gain Its Due in China

When we first met Charles Gao, the Associate Director of Adecco China, we cannot believe he has 15 full years work experience under his belt: his look, vitality and passion all speaks that he should be a twentysomething. But minutes after our talk, his discreet words, professionalism and air of dignity soon manifested his long working life and time-mellowed sophistication. He is just like the company he is working at: Adecco, though its origin can be traced back to 1957, never stopped growth and expansion. Now fully established in China, it keeps on thriving and flourishing. Not long from now, we may witness it secure its championship in China, as it did all over the world.

Gene ShiSafeguard Property Transaction in China

Whether you are a long-term China watcher or only having a smattering of interest in the Asian country recently, whether you single-mindedly focus on the Orient powerhouse’s industry and finance or just being curious about this ancient civilization’s life and society, you surely will notice the recent popularity of a local TV series called Narrow Dwellings, a metro melodrama on a topic which has too many stakes and emotions attached to it: housing in a modern Chinese city. Well, it takes a ton of pains to afford a house and mortgage in any world metropolis, but in China, a country with underdeveloped credit reporting and rating system, even if you stretched your whole family’s resources and thought you could manage to lay out a down payment, the work and risk does not stop there -- you need to well safeguard the property transaction process. That is exactly where First Title Real Estate Guaranty and its president Mr. Gene Shi come in to help, at the right time.

Albin RouxPremium Armagnac from LAUBADE Comes to China

As the saying goes, you can judge a man by the company he keeps, and we know that wine is men’s best company, so an application of syllogism can lead us to the conclusion that you can judge a man by the wine he keeps. So what about the men who keep Armagnac as company, the most ancient eaux-de-vie (meaning water of life) in France? In this interview we are grateful to meet Albin Roux, the Brand Ambassador and Area Manager for L.E.D.A, which owns the famous Armagnac brand Château de Laubade. Suave, crisp and stylish, Mr. Roux will impress you profoundly as much as the mellow brandy he represents will do.

William TsengBuild to last in China

15 years ago, when a bunch of energetic and ambitious Taiwanese launched Capstone Construction & Development Co. in mainland China, all around them was towering cranes and roaring bulldozers. Now after all these years’ booming construction, when I went inside the roomy office of Mr. Tseng, General Manager of Capstone Construction, I was first greeted by the soaring cranes brandishing proudly outside his big window.
