We
can live a life without a diamond, whereas we can’t without water. However, why
is a diamond expensive more than water is?
According to the Wealth of Nations
by Adam Smith, it is an exchange value. Water is low in scarcity, but a diamond
is high. Unlike the time that Adam Smith lived, however, we actually buy water
to drink.
Anyway, a diamond is expensive more than water is. Our Chinese boss
asked me about how a normal shopping bag can be special and different. She
might have a headache because of several tasks that I assigned. She has a
practical idea to do the tasks, so she thinks of a shopping bag as common.
Actually, she writes explanations in Excel and read it carefully one by one not
to interpret them in her own way. Then, she also translates in Chinese. A
shopping bag can be a diamond. What I want is not to sell a shopping bag as a
diamond. That’s why she is confused about my thought about a shopping bag.
There is a limit to communicate with her because I can’t speak Chinese really
well. So, I sometimes hate myself, but I also sometimes hate her. I really want
to talk with her deeply… Our employees and I make an effort to make it more
valuable and sell, but it’s really hard work. I always change my mind when
waking up, driving, and having a meeting in the morning. Those thoughts were
lingering a while in my mind… That’s a shame. We have recently reorganized our
Chinese company’s business system newly.
It is still the same as before. I am
not sure that this is because it doesn’t come to our mind yet or we still have
lots of complaints. It is not easy to change something. Our employees don’t
understand why I tried to change the system, but we might be going to be changed
next week. We will be used to it again because we actually have lots of
experiences regarding the change.
One thing that we really do well is to adapt
ourselves to new changes. It’s been ten months since we moved in. I have been
already accustomed to here. I think the employees follow me well because I just
give them the direction of our company. In the end, we need to wait and see
whether they will be going into the real diamond streets or become one of many
water drops.
