After a late arrival last night the morning program was individual. A small group of six students decided to take up Professor Rüttimann’s suggestion and visit the Guangzhou watch market, currently the largest whole sale market for watches world wide. The array of fake and cheap watches on offer was breath taking, with hardly any […]
Leaving Yangshuo and its stunning landscape after only one night was sad, but the next company was awaiting us. Therefore, we drove back to Guilin by bus and visited the Subachi company. This firm produces various leather products with a focus on armbands for watches. Mr Liu Yun, Deputy General Manager, welcomed us in his meeting […]
After checking out of our hotel in Guilin, our bus took us to the wharf at the Lijiang River, where we started one of the most beautiful boot trip of the whole China expedition. Between our start in Guilin and our final destination in Yangshuo the Lijiang River travels over 83 kilometres exactly like a […]
Once again, the group had to get up very early and met each other in the lobby of the hotel at 6.30am. Hence, everybody was still a little bit sleep at this early stage of the day. We then headed to the airport, quickly checked in our bags and waited for our flight to Guilin. […]
The day started with a bus ride to Cooper P.S.T.C in Shanghai. The head of Cooper Power Systems Technical Center China, Mr. Dr. Roger Perkins, welcomed us at the entrance. Cooper Industries has seven different divisions of which Cooper Power Systems is one of them. Cooper Power Systems is also a subsidiary of Cooper Industries. First […]
After a 2h-bus-ride we arrived in Changzhou at Rieter Textiles (RTSC). We were welcomed by Mr Sigi Foehn, Head of Rieter Textiles China, who presented us a brief presentation about Rieter in China. According to Mr Foehn the core competences of Rieter China are its sourcing and procurement strategy, its logistics processes and its explicit […]
Today our group had a tough but really interesting trip into the world of leather and furniture industry. After a “healthy” breakfast we left Hangzhou to explore the Haining City Lili Leather Garments factory in Haining. Mr. Bi and Mr Wang Sen Sheng, the General Manager of the company, showed us all the different steps, which […]
The day started at 9 o’clock and we headed to Hangzhou which took us about 3h of bus ride. Compared to Shanghai, which is seen as the business Metropolis, Hangzhou appears more to be the place to live in terms of life quality. This is also to be explained by the small size of Hangzhou with […]
After two exhilarating sight seeing days in Shanghai it was back to business for us on Monday. In the early morning we were invited to Swissnex. The Shanghai office of Swissnex’ main role is that of an initiator, facilitator and coordinator between Chinese and Swiss scholars and Universities. The ten employees are also supporting projects […]
Despite the fact that it is Sunday today, there is no time to sleep in too long. A sightseeing tour by foot was planned. However, we avoided to visit only the touristy places. Mr. Rüttimann brought us to quarters of the city where tourists are normally not seen. We gained some insight into Chinese’ housing […]
