Today we had fourth lecture from Professor Ren Bing about a Chinese entrepreneur and his business strategies.One thing that interested me about this lecture was Professor Ren's teaching style because it was quite unique in that it was not a very structured approach which made her a little bit difficult to understand. Besides her style of teaching, I found this lecture to be pretty interesting. We learned about a man named Shaokang Huang who went from being a high school physics teacher to being the Chairman of Bestgrand Holdings Co.. It was interesting to see how Huang built this business up by networking with other companies such as Lenovo. Also, I thought it was interesting that Huang's joint ventures with these companies affected how each of them operated business by working together. I found this lecture to be quite interesting even though it was difficult to understand. After the lecture we toured the Tianjin Planning Exhibition Hall in which they a model of the entire city. Not only is the scale of this model impressive, the size of Tianjin is unbelievable and seeing this model made me realize that the Chinese people really work hard to make their cities great. Besides the model of the city this hall had many other models of areas around Tianjin and it was amazing to see the detail involved in the construction of Tianjin. Overall, I thought today was really interesting and I learned a lot about Chinese business as well as the city of Tianjin.
