Today morning we had a China lecturer conducts a lecture called, Business Strategies and Business Etiquette. It was an interesting lesson because i am attending a lesson that is not related to my course and some more is business topic.
Starting of lecture may be boring, because i am feeling sleeping. Why i am sleepy? Because the night before we played poker the whole night. However, after the 1st toilet break, the lecture began to be interesting, because it is talking about how interact with your customer and guest. It also talks about what should you do in the different scenario given and how can you reaction in such circumstances.
The lecturer explanations was good, he really elaborate every point clearly. He also used many examples to explain his point, because business strategies really involve much social skill and that makes the lesson interesting.
After his lesson, we went for lunch and then attend the afternoon lesson. During the afternoon lesson we did a summary of what we have learned in the morning. We finish at 3pm which is early than usual, because Mr. Chua wanted us to visit Wuhan IT mall. He want us to make a comparison in prices compared with our local IT mall, Sim Lim Square.
We took 907 bus to reach there, it was a hour trip. The IT mall was big and they do sell many stuff. There are also other IT shops beside the IT mall. we just shop till 6pm, because that’s the time that all shop must be close. Well, there’s not really much things there, however i still enjoyed myself there.
REFLECTIONS
In the 1st half of the day i learned the behaviour of a business man during the lesson. It was interesting, because it involve lots of social skill, which i like. This lesson also taught me some basic manners too, and some psychological skill as well.
Here is one example i like the most, what should you do if you see someone at a business event that you have met before, but you can’t remember their name? Ignore that person? Nah, haha, well is simply just introduce yourself, apologize for not remembering their name but say where you met them before. This is really a way of doing business.
In the next half of the day, we went to Wuhan so called ‘Singapore Sim Lim Square’. I realized that the price there is around the same as in Singapore, not much different and some is even more expensive especially those international brand, like SONY, LG, SAMSUNG and etc. however the pricing could still be lowered down further or even lower as low as 50%.
Well I personally felt, I would rather buy those stuff in Singapore IT fare, because you see, the pricing is around the same and in IT fare you could have free gift. Plus if u buy in Singapore, the warranty deal is so much better, example if I bought a LG monitor I could have 3 years warranty ON SIDE whereas if I buy in the Wuhan IT mall, it only has a warranty and some more is OFF SIDE.
Lastly just to add on I am LG monitor sales promoter, thus I know the market of IT stuff very well.
