Today was definitely my most favorite company visit. We went to Lenovo—a Chinese firm that makes computers, televisions, and other electronics. Before I became involved with Plus 3 I had never even heard of Lenovo, but now if I were to purchase a new laptop I would definitely buy it from Lenovo. The company is very innovative and is looking to become one of the top three sellers in the U.S. for PCs. Right now it is currently Apple, Dell, and HP—so Lenovo hopes to bump one of those firms out in the near future. I could definitely see that happening after visiting the company and seeing how innovative their products are. After visiting Lenovo, we went to eat lunch at a very nice restaurant where we ate Peking duck! I had been waiting for this the entire trip because I have never had duck before, but I had heard it was delicious and oh was it delicious. They first brought out duck skin for us, which was extremely greasy, but the actual duck meat was very tasty and delicious. Following our lunch, we went back to the hotel to have a lecture. I had taken my cold medicine before the lecture which was not a smart move at all because the entire lecture I felt like I was going to fall asleep. The woman teaching us was very interesting and had many great things to say, so I felt terrible. All in all, I managed to stay awake and listen to the lecture which was very insightful. Now I have to wait for my teammates for my project to get back from the silk market, so we can come up with a business plan to present tomorrow!
