Of course I'm still here, guys. Signed a new six-month contract yesterday. And when it runs out, I'll sign another one. Like many of you, I'm in this for the long haul . The main advantage I have over you folks is that I know CEO Ning Wu and COO Luis Kuo and others in the company personally. You can all read their bios, see how successful they've been in the past. What the bios don't say is that they're sincere, good people, dedicated to this, to the kids of China and to making a very decent and honest buck in the future and that's why I'm in..... I believe in them. And yes, I get paid in MDCE shares, not the generous salaries I've received in the past. You can check that out too .... it'll be in the financial reports somewhere.
So, to business. CEO Wu and COO Kuo are now in Shenzhen. Ning Wu made a side trip to Guangzhou, seat of Guangdong's provincial government, after her meetings in Hong Kong. Never underestimate the importance of protocol in China. But they're now on site, hopefully snapping pictures obsessively!
A full media release will go out next week along the lines of "CEO visits site of China's first Western-style children's health centre." I'll attach the best of the pictures to the release as well ... a first for us, to have photo stories out there.
The release will concentrate on bricks and mortar, what's going into our space, what it will do and how long it will take. I'm hoping our interior designers can get me an understandable breakdown on basic plumbing and electrical details, how many non-retaining walls need to be built and where the reception area will be, etc, etc, this weekend. If they can't, our release will go out anyway and a second, with those details, will follow. As before, I'll post the release(s) here the minute they go out to the media.
This real, tangible place in Shenzhen city is ours, folks. "The story is the business, not the share price."
