VIP Class Notes (Tibo)

Review the PDF on how to pronounce numbers

I have worked in security for almost 5 years 

The job is to do some research and write the papers.
It is about the IPO companies.
I need to do some analysis.

The area I cover is foreign companies. Also some Chinese/domestic companies that get listed abroad / IPO abroad.

First the government policy on/regarding the internet companies is much more strict than before and DIDI has the potential leak data of Chinese users and government to the foreigners so they are under strict control / supervision.

I have some offers but I didn’t make the decision yet. /haven’t decided yet/ I am still considering..

In my usual work I need to read English papers and I need to communicate the HQ.

I haven’t used English for many years after I graduated from college, there are some words I can’t remember but I can recognize them if you write them

I can’t remember many words.

Recently I have met a quite intrested thing. It‘s funny but also makes me moving. In the Henan flood disaster just past by, there’re so many civilian hero appeared, also some chinese domestic brands recieved public attention for their patriotism and responsbility. Even through some companies’ state of operation is not that good, but they still donate a lot of money and materials to the flood place. The most typical brands are Hongxingerke、huiyuan and so on. HXEK’s gross revenue is RMB2.83 bilions last year，but the gross loss is RMB0.22 bilions. A company is facing sunch a big finacial loss and the future is uncertain, but it still donated RMB50 milion materials to the flood palce. And it‘s really amazing they didn’t do any advertising about they donation activities. The whole event is discorved by our lovely net friends. Then they started the activity named “ferity shopping”. They bought many shoes and clothes through both live-broadcasting room and offine. The supply of commodities is out of control for a time. I also joined them and bought some clothes in their broadcasting room. Our new generation chinese is so lovely. They don’t recognize only foreigh Brand sunch as Nike or Adidas，but they have a high recognition degree of our chinese own brands. Being such a country i feel happy and pride, even though there’re still some problems in our sociaty. Eventually I do believe we will be better and better.
