巨大，神话野兽与贯穿的眼睛和硕大，咆哮嘴守卫在许多中国的最重要的大厦和古老结构。 这些轰烈的生物的名字是“Fu尾随”或Rui Shi (”吉利狗”在普通話)，亦称皇家监护人狮子。

开始在汉朝(206期间BC。 - 220 A.D.)，安置公和母狮子二个大雕像的传统在创立的入口附近意欲挡住恶鬼和保护免受敌人和窃贼。 These statues were created from marble, bronze, iron, and granite and the cost was expensive, therefore only the wealthy could afford Fu Dog protection.

MICROSOFT IN CHINA 

By Ernie Tadla

It took Bill Gates twelve years and billions of missed revenue, profit and market share opportunities to learn how to do business in China … the Chinese Way.

Microsoft came to China in 1992. Eleven years later, with global revenues of $35 billion US, in China the second largest PC market in the world, Microsoft-China revenue was $300 million, and it was operating at a loss.

Several quotes from the article:
• “….. struggling to turn a profit, the brash American software giant is no longer trying to change China. Instead, China is changing the company.”

• “Microsoft started to heed the critics and to embrace China more fully. It is now broadly co-operating, even flying Chinese engineers to Redmond for training.”

• “CEO Steve Ballmer has credited his ‘very well-connected’ China CEO (pirated from Nortel) with Read the rest of “Microsoft and Wal-Mart in China” or post a comment
