Spirox and David double

I didn't sleep well or much the night before meeting with David Shu - Chairman and CEO of Spirox, Meiling worried about me very much, she is not happy. as I shared with her the insight from Mark Han in reagard to the complementary role I might perform with Stanly Yen, it seems opportunity close its window again.

woke up by 6 am, do a quick wash up, I took the city bus and transfer HSR to Shing Chu, taking the 7:06 am train, arrvied by 7:38, as I don't want to wandering around outside of the office too long, so I decieded to take my breakfast at Mos Burge ( the information I recently obtained that this late fast food comer is now the number 2 fast food chain next to McDonald in Taiwan, surpass Kenturkey Chicken and promote its local organic food and ingredient purchase ), take a cab to Spirox, the driver told me the traffice is very bad, it might take one hour if we go with the routine route, as I am the first time here, I take his advise and we go circle around and pay the same due - 240 NT, I arrived by 8:15 am, enough time to enjoy coffee in the Fami Mart.

Spirox building is located in the center of the city, I can tell when the building constructed, this is a newly developing land, but now the premium give it at least double value. It's a clean and neat building. I was there 10 minutes before our appointment set by 9:00 am, yes, due to the bad traffic in the cold raining morning, David late for 10 minutes, this is good for me, I have time to relex, reading newspaper, preparing myself before he rush in the meeting room, grab my C.V. withoug learning more.

David like to asked smart question, this is how he loved. he heavily depend on system ( or machinism ),the interviewing, yes, it is , last for 2 more hours, and I graduatly check the skirt of his working philosophy in Spirox:
1. The company or him fails in working with a great HR system in 10 years, the HR M( management ) is good, however, the HR D ( Development ) was disappointed, every senior HR head suffer from the development and left within 2 years of career life cycle. so, they want to try someone with business experiecne instead of HR knowledge.
2. David is into charity now, it take away his weekend and his heart, so he need some one to help integrate and lead the company on its diary operation: this is what David Hung dislike and why he is looking for CSO and CHO now to share the work load.
3. David is asking management team to relocate in Shin Chu, find an apartment here, for the concentration of work and for the quality of life.
4. David is hype with my CSR experience and urge me to work with him on the foundation development on weekends
5. David wish me to reduce my non-companywide activity and focus on a FULL TIME obligation.
6. David is surprised to hear my 3 millions annual salary reqirement.
7. David asked me to follow an online personality accessment by the HR consulting firm.

I didn't know Meiling is favor this high-tech industry development with the CHO title. what I didn't know is she don't want me to limit myself as the CHO at this firm, be a shareholder, a director or to buyout if David Huang and David Du behide me.. the CHO postion is a good start to understand core competance of this company, to know the real accest and to learn the basic of the industry.

Now what I should worry are:
1. with the capital of 1.25 billion NT, the small capital size is easy to be manupilate or merged, if it's a hostile take over, then the management team will experienc an earthquake.
2. the job security is low, how to develop the " can't leave me , highly depending " capabilily is critical for an industsry outsider like me.
3. David Huang's role in make or break the company and how am I survive his game.
4. The round 2 negociation on the basic groud David address before.

ohter than this, I felt comfortable to find another home to work with. to learn, to contribute and to get to next level of achievment. after the David Shu session, David Huang share with me his view point for another 30 minutes, honest and frankly.

Having the sushi bar lunch after the long interviewing , I did it at Breeze Food Course at Taipei railway station, then follow the kick off meeting with Matthew in regard to the Wellness Retreat business discussion.

The wellness retreat research and preparation like my OWN assignment witout pay. for 3 reasons:
1. Matthew don't have enough local resource
2. We need to do it in Chinese writing
3. He don't like to do or conduct detail matter.

it's very time consuming for me, I need to figure out a smart way to do it quick with helper and with perosn I can liasion as soon as possible.

The night before:
SEE foundation Taiwan branch launch dinner take place at Ritz hotel with the new chairmanship George Chen, Mark and a few YPO friend were there at the dinner, I decline the appointment of Secretary - General position , it's no way to waste my time doing this anymore.

Celine came and brought me +_2 degree DVD for Mark and brought me the suite Mr. Kong give me, I tried it after dinner, it's too large, however, the gesture is good and the warm last forever.

Monday morning:
Visiting Shio Tang as Bali, it's been a long while, no wonder the thrine maintainace said he didn't saw me for a long time, it's 14 years, a hell to Shio Tang smooth my mind. after the very short stop, we go to the Bali port, Meiling want to try the seafood , the shell fish, well, we didn't finish them all. our next stop and the stop always is the Black Shop - the renovate port rib rice shop, the business is too good to believe. some Japanes tourist came, take the picture and acclaim to the delicacy they just enjoyed. it's amaze to see my colleage years little shop turn to a signiture eating spot in Tamsui.
