Blog link http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_59bd45d00102ecex.html?tj=1

TsingHua University, as one of the best university in China, has cultivated thousands of  talented in all area. As it is estimated,  TsingHua schoolmates have owned more than 300 billion Yuan which allows TsingHua University surpasses Peking University as the one whose schoolmates own the most property around China.

However, ChuanTao Wang, as a genius in TsingHua chose to find a job as a security. This choice has attracted the public eyeballs since it happened.

But as a student whose job distribution was unsatisfied and whose father was badly illed, his choice to be a security paid with 2000 Yuan (approximately 350 USD) was be thought as understandable in the blog. However, chinese society, which more tend to take money as the only evaluating standard, would likely to blame him to be a “waste of his talent”. There are freedom to define succes, why cannot a graduate form Havard clean the toilet? Chinese media should be more  inclusive in someway to be out of that kind of “realistic”

Chinese “GAP” — Metersbonwe Will Go Gobal

Metersbonwe is a famous Chinese casualwear brand, which is unknown outside china but well-known in Chinese market. According to TIME, “With about 5,000 outlets in the country, most of them under the Metersbonwe name, the Shanghai-based clothing retailer is just as omnipresent in the Middle Kingdom as the Gap is in America”. It dominates in China with the leading position. Now, Metersbonwe plans to open stores globally in three years.

Opening stores globally is a significant decision. Actually, not many Chinese companies have become global. Some of them succeed in the international market such as Lenovo and Haier, but there are also some unsuccessful causes like Li Ning. Therefore, Metersbonwe will face a big challenge in order to be recognized in the international market.

As a Chinese brand, Metersbonwe realizes many weaknesses. Firstly, Chinese brands focus too much on production but not enough on customers. In order to and develop the brand recognition and reputation, support from customers is essential. So, what Metersbonwe needs to improve is to consider more about consumers and bring committed interest to them. In addition, the quality is a problem. The quality of goods made in china is stereotypically thought as bad, which is disadvantageous for Metersponwe. Thus, the quality of Metersbonwe should be good enough to eliminate this stereotype.

The Revenue Stream of A Football Club

When I was younger, I looked up at the newspaper that football player Zalatan Ibrahimovic transfered to Barca with 4.6 million euros. I wonderd how could they get so much money and spent it on a single player, does he worth that much? Football must be a royal sports.

However, when I grew up and tried to do a research on that, things becoming clear.

Television relaying fee takes up an important part of the income stream for a football club. Take my favorite team Chelsea FC as an example, Chelsea got about $55 million on television relaying bonus sharing. Besides, the bonus for The Premier League is relatively high, Chelsea got $16 million for being the 3rd place in The premier League.

After all, those business activities are count to the revenue. Some of the famous team could get more that 1 million dollars each time when they attend exhibition matches and so on. Fan articles do make sense, thousans of team uniform were sold and that will take up a lot.

Sponsorship could noy be an neglectable factor.

New Policy of Canada Experience Class in Immigration

Nov. 8th, Canada Immigration Center (CIC) announced that there has been changes on Canadian Experience Class (CEC) in the immigration policy. CIC would only accept maximum of 12,000 cases of immigration  Which means, the foreign Sauder students who would be Administrative officers, Administrative assistants, Accounting technicians and bookkeepers are not able to immigrate to Canada by CEC which was supposed to be the most efficient and popular channel. Therefore, students like many of my classmates around would be disappointed .

Many of the students or employee who long to immagrate were thinking of protest and parade, however, many of them are concerning that they, as temporary residents instead of permanent ones or citizens , are a lot less likely to make difference on that policy. As a result, most of those chose to be silent.

However, when immigration is not in a list of reasons of us to stay in Sauder School of business, our purpose was the only way to knowledge. The policy may changes the life we are to lead, our passion for the country and the hearts which eager to learn would never change.
