School year started already. Football season is here!! Are you excited to watch footfall? We always hear loud screaming from the fans of their team. I guess nobody really likes to think the fans are too loud when their team makes good progress!!

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011In or Out?
Thursday, August 4th, 2011Today Wall Street Plunges around 4%!!! Are you in or out the stock market?
I know there is widespread pain on Wall Street now. I feel pain also because I did tell my husband to come out for a period, but he was just used to what he had known. Well, it doesn’t matter if you just want to sit the stock in the market, don’t want to earn cash in pocket.
Everybody wants to earn money from the investment. Most people calculate the earnings according the increased net value against the cost. (more…)
Family Reunited!
Thursday, June 16th, 2011
We have been so excited these days. Not only because summer is here, flowers are blooming beautifully, everywhere is green, but also we finally got my daughter from China to US!! We have waited for three years. Although it looks like not very long comparing to our whole life, it is still painful for waiting this long.
Now she is here, we are so thankful to God.
Manage Your Earnings
Thursday, January 20th, 2011After a year hard working, do you have any savings? Investments? Loans? Bills?
A lot of people like to have things now so we spend, spend, spend…some people don’t have anything left from last year. Where is the money? !!
Well, we can’t avoid some spending like bills, loan, and buying necessities. But do your budget first before you spend. Businesses like to do planning and budgeting to meet their goals. How much you earn decides how much you can spend.
Foreign Exchange Rate in China
Thursday, October 14th, 2010There are so many products imported or are going to import from China: Furniture, clothing, crafts…. It is known that China has low labor cost for the products exported to the US. But seldom people know that other reasons are Chinese government tax incentive promotion plan and currency exchange rate.
For a long time, the Chinese government has controlled the foreign currency exchange rate. When the labor cost is low enough, the lower RMB exchange rate is, the more factories will come to China. Chinese government has been really successful to develop economy and technology within 30 years in this way.
Things are changing slightly now. People in China want more freedom, WTO would like every member to have fair market environment. China has to meet that requirement.
So, China currency exchange rate has to float with the currency exchange market, instead of being manipulated by the government.
On Oct 13th, USA currency US dollar to China currency RMB-exchange rate was 1:0.15. Seven months ago, it was 1:0.146. Within 7 months, RMB value increased 2.7%. RMB is becoming stronger and stronger. That means China currency exchange rate is heading to the direction of the market.

Birthday Blizzard!
Thursday, February 25th, 2010Today the sun is shining. That is a good thing because the snow has been falling a lot in Ohio.
February has always been a snowy time in Ohio. When I was three, my mom and dad had a birthday party for me that my relatives almost got snowed in at our house. My mom always said we had a blizzard on my birthday.
Green Is the New Black
Saturday, February 20th, 2010
There are a lot of new buzz words floating around these days, both in industry and the private sector. Moving speedily to the top of the list is “green.”
In business, in particular, green used to mean one thing: the almighty dollar. Today, though, green has become something very different, and yet not. These days, operating in the green is quickly becoming every bit as important as operating in the black. However, many businesses are facing the challenge of accomplishing both of these goals at once when, under certain conditions, these two ends seem mutually exclusive.
So, how does a business succeed economically and environmentally?
