The Chinese New Year in China – The Year of the Horse, 2014 has arrived here in Shanghai.
Regarding the strategies in this most powerful zodiac people might re-think the following sentence by Confucius, living in the ancient China from 551 to 479 B.C.; he said: If you know your goal, you can decide and find a peaceful life in safety. Being safe you may then think about how to improve it.
However, the alternatives are already driven by a strong growth of the Chinese economy in a bandwidth of 7 to 13 percent. Compared to other economies located in the Blue Banana Zone or in the Americas, this is salient.
Unique and outstanding reports from the East Asian economies with higher growth rates compared to those in Central Europe or in the Americas, tumbling between zero and one percent in 2013, describe best the new mega-trends towards the Far East. Furthermore, based on the facts of skills shortage or poor management of public budgeting in European countries, this can be seen now as their bill.
Let us hope that the necessary lessons will be learnt well and quickly in order to catch up with East Asian economies. These countries also have to adopt to new standards immediately, due to the reported smog reports, CCTV broadcasts in China 24 about those mega cities with heavy pollution by a steadily increasing traffic and the usage of coal for heating like: the capital Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen or the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong.
When hundreds of million migrant workers travel home after working in the metropolitan cities, this seems to be a surprise for people in Western countries; especially for states whose population does not even reach 20 percent of the estimated figure for sure. Update ASAP.
One thing is certain: this case happens often to nomads flying worldwide on airways home from Shanghai / China (PRC) or back again to the metropolitan city to land on Pudong’s airport PVG.
Already travelled to 175+ cities worldwide, tourists from Amsterdam-Schiphol, Dubai or Shanghai may ask you in then on the Bund during these busy days:
„How do Chinese people – some of them live overseas – do celebrate their Christmas feast / party?”
Firstly, then you have to think deeply, please!
How to explain the 1+X question(s)? These will never be easy to answer correctly…
Generally spoken you have to admit: the Christmas feast has never officially existed before in PRC.
But how could it come now into fashion there, too?
What makes Christmas a new fashion or trend?
If we regard these (shopping) days only as a fashionable event, we might see it only with the eyes of a marketing director, whose department who tend to trigger the bonuses paid at yearend.
So, hoping to attract more than 200.000+ and more Germans living in metropolitan cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen or Hong Kong SAR, the new consumption worlds go really crazy: buying luxury cars, etc.
This year however, the similar holiday season in the former traditional China follows quickly the German feasts “Weihnachten” and “Sylvester”; as a surprise, it is also quite close to the traditions in Africa as well.
Why Africa?
Networking friends there say: We sing Christmas carols and dramatize place in African churches. Furthermore, many feasts and family reunions are held, similar to new Chinese citizens living and working in an almost forgotten continent: Africa, we go, top!
Opposite to the European thoughts, Chinese TV stations focus on the cultural events such as frequently visited churches, filled with more religious believers than these may offer space to – queuing up, without public viewing.
Yoga Thoughts…
The Christians are told by their priests how they could go on the healthy good old traditional ways. They are given fresh ideas following a visionary path for the coming years. Another yoga trip with drum music…
Finally many festivals are held on the December 31, celebrating gospel music in cities like Nairobi (NBO) / located in Kenya.
There, one week later everybody goes back happy to work with a fresh and creative mentality to overcome the global crises telling: Happy New Year…

Historical events reported Chengdu people as powerful…
It is still a secret: the best things of China are exported now to Japan…
And these are the conditions for healthy men…: not drinking and smoking… the monthly income of 7.000 RMB working 72 hours a week – food and hotel rooms are inclusive for in total three years, always two men as partners in one good hotel room…
They will see their families regularly three times a year again. Most of them are actually single.
Their flights will be paid, too. Japan’s electronic industry must hire cheap labour from China now due to its worsening demographic factor in Chibu.
According to some desktop internet research there seem to be living less than 50 people per square kilometer now. If one of these might fall in love, it is most likely that this Chinese worker will never come back.
The reasons seem to be more than obvious in these days full of smog and the polluted air in Beijing according to this critical statements. ‘The television program and especially the food is much better, the sky is clear, and the working conditions are much more improved, so that the chances for a real career in Japan are good there’, he shouts. What do they know about Fukushima?
On my questions such as ‘why not working in Shanghai?’, he smiles at me, raises the hands and describes the landing scenarios, a movement of a plane, arriving on a beautiful island in the ocean with natural resources and sponsored job opportunities in a modern world that suffers from a lack of young people willing to start a second life. …Sayonara! Good night, China.
Sorry, they workers did not prefer to be on a photo due to this actual and unique case of labour exports to China’s neighbour…
Meeting managers of technology driven global players reveal this new trend: more than 10.000 companies are leaving the USA shortly… revealed in Shanghai, 2013.10.30.
The espionage on industrial secrets: good chances for revolutionary start-ups? Yes, absolutely! The questions about on-going processes of spying out secrets of developing or developed countries’ leaders reported in the global news these days are part of the top high-lights here in an Asian Metropolis end of the golden October season.
Online media report about nowadays’ unhealthy trends in the Americas: unhappy stories about the almost lost fight on drugs, the violation on human rights against different thoughts of groups or individuals by their partners or bugged VIPs, whistle-blowers inclusive..
Therefore, it is most likely that more top stories will be published even more in Asia and no longer in the Western world from now on. Thus, the coming months will reveal also fresh stories about the negotiations on reasonable compensations for the abused human rights which have not been leading to the success that third parties are still looking forward to since more than one year. We will keep you updated.
Panda, Vaquita, and Whistle-blowers?
As a result it will be the first time, that the Asian media seem to be more liberal and updated than the so called free press in the Western world. So, after the tragic reports on the development of endangered species like the Panda (animal) in China and/or the Vaquita (fish) population in Mexico the species of human beings will show unique insights on whistle-blowers, risking their life for the protection of the lately almost forgotten groups or rare populations that are hoping to see a better world in justice:
– people using their mobile devices and suffering from the consequences from
– publishing private stories coming up from unknown sources or cracked databases.
This will be the content of the in former times called yellow press: thus, no longer the princes or princesses’ lifestyle but just ordinary peoples’ life will be interesting for the curious world looking into the fresh insight in rapidly growing global online media.
The hidden reports from yet unknown Woodstock events will dominate press blogs and the courts worldwide, due to the fact that espionage on data from leading countries’ decision makers might influence a re-positioning process on the important question in life.
Who might dominate finally the 21st century: Asia versus or the Americas?
This question is a milestone in new global business plan recognition of interesting start-ups of the future: however, the security in a new defined world of communication will continue to be always the real threat in daily life in the IT world.
Hohberg -Diersburg, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, Europe
Welcome to Ulrich Kiefer Blog | Cvide.com in Hohberg b. Offenburg-Ortenau | in the Metropolitan Upper Rhine Region | The Strasbourg-Ortenau Eurodistrict, near Gengenbach, Kehl-Baden-Baden France and Rust or Freiburg im Breisgau BF.
Last year we said: ‘lots of things can create chances for the real big changes. We have been working really hard to improve many things every day. And since then and all of them added together, we are giving our clients better experiences in the web.
Subsequent to my initial experiences in print media, I have extensive experience of the telecommunications, trade, supermarket and automotive accessory suppliers’ industries. Combined with a first-hand knowledge of the Middle Kingdom, fluency in Mandarin and an ability to “think outside the box”, I offer high level, industrial business management assistance to organisations in China.
All about us at Cvide dot com
In the modern era of the Internet sound-bite, few can be bothered to wade through scores of painstakingly detailed texts, charts and graphs, or, when surfing the Internet, have the patience to wait more than a second or two until the next web-page loads. With time at a premium and boredom thresholds at an all-time low, it seems that the old traditional websites have become both outmoded and ineffective. “Most people,” Amit Mendelsohn, an Internet expert and Web marketing consultant, emphasizes, “log on to business websites for about two minutes, rarely going beyond the site’s first page.”
As for the traditional CV? All-inclusive, they are undoubtedly useful in the long-term; but, initially, job recruiters, forced to shift through masses of CVs and profiles, need something that will tell them all they need to know in one brief “byte”; just as prospective job candidates need and want to grab and hold these recruiters’ attention. The problem is that as they stand, text CVs, dull, monotonous and lacklustre are simply not up to the job.
Seeking to resolve this ineffective, highly uneconomical state of affairs, CVide.com developed the CVideo: eye-catching videos of less than two minutes that deftly combine images, text and music in one concise, informative and entertaining package. Specially crafted for the Internet age, CVideos are completely different from anything that has been done or seen before. “Your average CV or promotional website,” Mr Mendelsohn, CVide.com’s owner and co-founder, points out, “often drown the subject matter in a welter of words and images, thus taking an age to read and/or surf. The CVideo, an animated video short was designed specifically to resolve this problem by focusing the viewer’s attention on the core message.” Capturing prospective recruiters’ interest right at the start of the vetting process, the CVideos, short and sweet, seduce them into discovering more about the CV’s subject. After a lengthy testing period, in which both those profiled in the CVideos as well as those receiving them expressed their delight at the results, the CVideo was officially launched.
The CVideo caught on quickly. Inspired, by its success, CVide.com now decided to tackle the problem afflicting the majority of business websites today. “The aim of most websites,” Mr Mendelsohn explains, “is to deliver a message, something they cannot do if nobody has the patience to surf the site from beginning to end. Even sites with embedded videos are generally ineffective because these 15 to 60 minute videos are far too long, and not many people today have the patience to sit through such lengthy promotions.” CVide.com met this challenge using the same conceptual principle underlying the CVideos. Mr Mendsohn again: “Instead of trying to change people’s Internet habits, why not adapt your format to suit them”. The result: the Video-Site.
Combining a crisp and concise text with striking animated images and carefully chosen music, the Video-Site is a gripping, vivid presentation: a meticulously tailored, succinct video-message in line with both the thrust of the subject matter and the average surfer’s attention span.
It is proof, as Dr I.A. Rose CVide.com’s copy editor asserts, that “less is more. Indeed, our clients have been amazed at how much can be said, and said well, in so few words,” especially if accompanied by a series of well-placed images! A philosophy, Mr Ulrich Kiefer, an international business and financial adviser, and one of CVide.com’s first customers, was quick to endorse.
Bowled over by the concept of the Video-Site, Mr Kiefer became the company’s sales representative in Germany and the Far East. Nor was he the only one to jump on the CVide.com bandwagon, as many of its customers, convinced of the CVideos and Video-Sites’ market potential, rushed to become company sales affiliates.
But, CVide.com’s technically proficient and skilfully produced video-bites, are only one part of the equation. The other is the ease with which its products are distributed across the Web. “To make an impact, the videos need to be delivered quickly and effectively,” which is why distribution,” Mr Mendelsohn says, “is an integral part of our service”.
Certainly, thanks to CVide.com’s specialized distribution system, its CVideos and Video-Sites consistently head the results list of all search engines, not just once but several times over.
CVide.com boasts an impressive portfolio of products, including: CVideos, Video-Ads, Video-Sites, a specialized Commercial Package and sundry video services, all available on their website at http://www.cvide.com.
