Stay tuned to our latest post! Follow us here ---> http://weibo.com/u/3476904471

Hi Everybody,
This Yunyou!
Nice to see you for the very second time. I hope you will enjoy all the reading materials in this edition of Reading Obstacles.

In the Speaker Sector--Why are you trying so hard on getting an MBA? Oh yeah, you may want to succeed in business or even become a CEO of a 500 Fortune Company. Admit it--You want success, money, perks, and (fill in whatever you want)...Don't be shy--it's not a sin to keep a bold dream But have you ever considered the unsual type of CEO? You got it--sometimes we don't necessarily need an MBA to get us there.

In Speed Sector--Are you an Apple Fan?Do you still find their products fascinating in the post-Jobs era? Are you still holding that un-fashionable iPhone? Well, the fact is that probably Apple is going nowhere. Some people believe innovation has already been stripped out of Apple's genes. Let's take a look.

In the Obstacle Sector--2014 has almost unfolded 1/3 its scale (My godness, almost 1/3 now!!!). Do you still remember the contents of your new year plan? How are they going? How many targets have you got hitted? Be your first 1/3 of 2014 great or not, let's have a look at how is China's economy going in comparison to the Mckinsey predications at the very begining of 2014.

Ready? Let's get started!

Apple is too big to keep a lid on the rumor mill anymore — Here’s the latest
[Time 2]

Tim Cook may have wanted to double down on secrecy at Apple (AAPL), as he said a few yeas ago, but give the company’s size and global scale, it’s proving impossible. As we draw closer to this year’s Apple updates, the level and detail of leaks is again on the rise. When your global supply chain has to start ramping up to make tens of millions of phones, there is seemingly no way to prevent the constant leaks.

Related: Is Apple “teetering on the edge” without Steve Jobs?

Last week, we got a round up of rumors covering the entire product line from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, considered more reliable than most (though hardly perfect, I’m still waiting for my iPhone with 128 GB of storage. He did get the gold case option and fingerprint sensor correct, however.)

According to Kuo and many other reports, this year’s iPhone -- let’s refer to it as the iPhone 6 for convenience -- will have a bigger screen, 4.7” up from the 4” models of last year. There may also be an even larger version, an Apple "phablet" with a 5.5” screen.
[187words]


[Time 3]
Although some Apple fans have said Apple should just stick with smaller screens which work better for one-handed operation, the company is clearly aware that it is missing out on many sales simply due to the lack of a larger screen option. An Apple document disclosed last week in the company’s patent lawsuit against Samsung showed execs worried recently about “consumers want but don’t have,” with a chart highlighting the growth of phones with screens larger than 4” and, separately, prices under $300.

This brings us to another aspect of the 2014 iPhone announcements – one that Apple is able to keep much better control over: the price. Last year, everyone knew about the candy-colored iPhone 5C model before the official announcement but almost everyone assumed it would be a cheap model aimed at customers in fast-growing emerging markets. Wrong – Tim Cook stuck with Apple’s tried and true strategy of pricing last year’s model at a slight discount -- $549 without a contract or subsidy.

There’s a robust debate about whether that was a good idea for 2013. But this year? There has to be a true cheap model, right? We won’t find out until the official announcement, probably.

News of a low-priced iPhone is one of the few announcements Apple could make that would really get Wall Street excited because it has the potential to materially increase phone sales and address a market that has been left entirely to competitors thus far.

[242 words]



[Time 4]

Kuo also says Apple will incorporate a “Near Field Communication” or NFC chip in the iPhone. That would allow iPhone users to tap into some of the new mobile payment systems, especially Isis. Android phones have long had NFC chips but Isis and its competitors have gone nowhere. Maybe the House of Jobs can jump start mobile payments with their wealthier and more free spending U.S. client base.

Aside from phones, Kuo is also predicting an iWatch in two sizes, maxing out at 1.5 inches. The focus is said to be on health monitoring apps and biometric security. He is also predicting the use of much more expensive materials, and much higher prices, than competing products like the $300 Galaxy Gear.

Wall Street has also been anxious for Apple to enter new markets and reveal its plans for the much hyped wearables space. A high-priced watch may be a bit disappointing to investors if it appears that it won’t sell in high volumes.

As far as that long-rumored Apple high definition television set, Kuo and others are hearing only about a more modest upgrade to the company’s little black box (David Pogue is urging we stop calling them “set top boxes” since none of them can even fit on top of a modern TV anymore).

Kuo says Apple will integrate a motion sensor in an upgraded Apple TV box using technology from Primesense, which helped build Microsoft’s (MSFT) Kinect for the Xbox 360.

Finally, Kuo doesn’t see a jacked up iPad with a 12-inch or larger screen coming this year. That was a subject of earlier rumors but Samsung’s massive 12.2-inch Galaxy Note pro hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire. Instead, expect the usual iPad improvements, with a migration of the iPhone’s fingerprint reader, a faster processor and thinner body.

But with all the leaks, that won’t be the big news. When Apple does its official debut for the new gear, listen closely for the strategy.
Apple (AAPL) reports earnings Wednesday after the market close. Wall Street is not expecting particularly impressive results. The focus of most Apple investors appears to be on the new products Apple is expected to roll out in the second half of this year.

And those products are indeed critical for the company and its stock price.


A few years ago, Apple was one of the greatest growth stories in the stock market. For more than a decade, the company astounded Wall Street with one smashing quarter after another. Eventually, Apple's lead in smartphones and tablets seemed insurmountable, and Apple's stock price soared above $700 per share.

But then the premium smartphone market hit maturity, and smaller, cheaper tablets began to gobble up more and more market share.

And now Apple is no longer a growth company.

In fact, based on Wall Street's estimates for this quarter, it's a shrinking company.  Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray, one of the leading analysts in the sector, expects every major Apple product line to shrink year over year. And he thinks revenue will be flat.

Why has Apple stopped growing?

Because the markets for smartphones and tablets are becoming increasingly commoditized and dominated by cheaper alternatives. Apple still has a massive, loyal, and passionate user base, but most of the products sold to these users are just upgrades. The "green field" opportunity, especially at the high end of the market, is gone.

What's more, the new products that Apple is reportedly working on -- an iWatch and a television set -- are far from a slam dunk. As Steve Jobs once observed, the TV business is a highly competitive low-margin industry, and Apple appears to have had trouble even bringing a product to market.  The success of connected watches, meanwhile, has been muted. So it may be hard for Apple to pull another rabbit out of a hat with a blockbuster new product.

Apple is likely to see a strong upgrade cycle later this year when it rolls out the iPhone 6. But after that, things could get rough. The trends that have stopped Apple's growth in its tracks are continuing. And it's not clear that the company is about to release any game-changing new products that will fix this.

Housing is in Danger of Overheating Again

[Time 6]

Home values in more than 1,000 U.S. cities are expected to surpass their pre-2008 levels within the year, according to a new report released today by Zillow.


"It's definitely a mixed bag of news,” says Humphries in the video above. “On the one hand you’re happy that home prices are recovering so nicely. On the other hand home values were definitely overvalued in 2006 and the fact that just so shortly after the greatest housing recession of the century we’re already seeing a lot of metros return to their peak levels is a sign for how robust the recovery is...but some markets are definitely in danger of overheating again.”

He continues: "In some markets, people are spending more of their incomes on a mortgage than they did during the 15 years before the housing runoff," says Humphries. "Broadly speaking though, at a national level we think homes are still very affordable."

Another issue that's affecting home buyers: lending requirements. Now that the volume of refinancing has decreased, banks are getting searching for new ways to make money: they're lowering down payment requirements, targeting lower credit-score borrowers and more.

A recent Wall Street Journal article reveals that mortgage standards are becoming more lax. Within the past year, one in six homebuyers made down payments of less than 10%, which is the highest share since 2008 (excluding FHA mortgages). But in early 2007 that figure was more than 44%.

"Lending standards are going to erode as we head into the next year or two," says Humphries.

Finally, when it comes to the age-old question of whether to rent or to buy, Humphries says "in most metropolitan regions if you’re going to be in your house for three years or more, then buying beats renting and that’s because buying is still benefiting from these incredibly low mortgage rates.”

Rents have increased more than 50% over the past 14 years while incomes have only increased about 25%, according to Humphries.

Part III: Obstacle
What could happen in China in 2014?
[Paraphrase 7]
1. Two phrases will be important for 2014: ‘productivity growth’ and ‘technological disruption’

China’s labor costs continue to rise by more than 10 percent a year, land costs are pricing offices out of city centers, the cost of energy and water is growing so much that they may be rationed in some geographies, and the cost of capital is higher, especially for state-owned enterprises. Basically, all major input costs are growing, while intense competition and, often, overcapacity make it incredibly hard to pass price increases onto customers. China’s solution? Higher productivity. Companies will adopt global best practices from wherever they can be found, which explains why recent international field trips of Chinese executives have taken on a much more serious, substantive tone.

This productivity focus will extend beyond manufacturing. In agriculture, the pace at which larger farms emerge should accelerate, spurring mechanization and more efficient irrigation and giving farmers the ability to finance the purchase of higher-quality seeds. Services will also be affected: for companies where labor is now the fastest-growing cost, a sustained edge in productivity may make all the difference. And in industry after industry, companies will feel the disruptive impact of technology, which will help them generate more from less and potentially spawn entirely new business models. Consider China’s banking sector, where bricks-and-mortar scale has been a critical differentiator for the past two decades. If private bank start-ups were allowed, could we see a digital-only model, offering comprehensive services without high physical costs? Will Chinese consumers be willing to bank online? Absolutely—if their willingness to shop online is any guide.

2. CIOs become a hot commodity

There is a paradox when it comes to technology in China. On the one hand, the country excels in consumer-oriented tech services and products, and it boasts the world’s largest e-commerce market and a very vibrant Internet and social-media ecosystem. On the other hand, it has been a laggard in applying business technology in an effective way. As one of our surveys1 recently showed, Chinese companies widely regard the IT function as strong at helping to run the business, not at helping it to grow. Indeed, simply trying to find the CIO in many Chinese state-owned enterprises is akin to hunting for a needle in a haystack.

Yet the CIOs’ day is coming. The productivity imperative is making technology a top-team priority for the first time in many enterprises. Everything is on the table: digitizing existing processes and eliminating labor, reaching consumers directly through the Internet, transforming the supply chain, reinventing the business model. The problem is that China sorely lacks the business-savvy, technology-capable talent to lead this effort. Strong CIOs should expect large compensation increases—they are the key executives in everything from aligning IT and business strategies to building stronger internal IT teams and adopting new technologies, such as cloud computing or big data.

3. The government focuses on jobs, not growth

Expect the Chinese government’s rhetoric and focus to shift from economic growth to job creation.The paradox of rising input costs (including wages), the productivity push, and technological disruption is that they collectively undermine job growth, at the very time China needs more jobs. Millions and millions of them. While few companies are shifting manufacturing operations out of the country, they are putting incremental production capacity elsewhere and investing heavily in automation.


For example,Foxconn usually hires the bulk of its workers for a given 12-month span just after the Chinese New Year. Yet at the beginning of last year, the company announced that it wouldn’t hire any entry-level workers, as automation and better employee retention had reduced its needs. Although upswings in the company’s hiring still occur (as with last year’s iPhone 5S and 5C release),the gradual rollout of robots will probably reduce demand for factory worker sgoing forward. In short, many manufacturersboth multinational and Chinese—are producing more with less.


So as technology enables massive disruptions in service industries and sales forces, what happens to millions of retail jobs when sales move online? To millions of insurance sales agents? Millions of bank clerks? Even business-to-business sales folks may find themselves partially disintermediated by technology, and rising numbers of graduates will have fewer and fewer jobs that meet their expectations. They will not be happy about this and may not be passive.Finally, while state-owned enterprises will feel pressure to improve their performance, to use capital more efficiently, and to deal with market forces,they are likely, at the same time, to face pressure to hire and retain staff they may not really need. The government and the leaders of these enterprises have long argued that such jobs are among the most secure. They will find it very hard to declare them expendable.

4. There will be more M&A in logistics

As everyone pushes for greater productivity, logistics is a rich source of potential gains. State-owned enterprises dominate in capital expenditure–intensive logistics, such as shipping, ports, toll roads, rail, and airports; small mom-and-pop entrepreneurs are the norm in segments such as road transportation. This sector costs businesses in China way more than it should. With upward of $500 billion in annual revenues, logistics is an industry ripe for massive infusions of capital, operational best practices, and consolidation. Driven by the pressure to increase productivity, that’s already happening at a rapid pace in areas such as express delivery, warehousing, and cold chain. Private and foreign participation is increasingly encouraged in many parts of the sector, and its competitive intensity is likely to rise.

5. Crumbling buildings get much-needed attention

While China’s flag ship buildings are architectural wonders built to the highest global standards of quality and energy efficiency, they are unfortunately the exception, not the rule. Much of the residential and office construction in China over the past 30 years used low-quality methods, as well as materials that are aging badly. Some cities are reaching a tipping point: clusters of buildings barely 20 years old are visibly decaying. Many will need to be renovated thoroughly, others to be knocked down and rebuilt. Who will pay for this? What will happen if residential buildings filled with private owners who sank their life savings into an apartment now find it declining in value and, perhaps, unsellable? Alongside a wave of reconstruction, prepare for a wave of local protests against developers and, in some cases, local governments too.

6. The country doubles down on high-speed rail

When China inaugurated its high-speed rail lines, seven years ago, many observers declared them another infrastructure boondoggle that would never be used at capacity. How wrong they were: daily ridership soared from 250,000 in 2007 to 1.3 million last year, fuelled partly by aggressive ticket prices. Demand was simply underestimated. Now that trains run as often as every 15 minutes on the Shanghai–Nanjing line, business and retail clusters are merging and people are making weekly day-trips rather than monthly two-day visits. The turn around of ideas is faster; market visibility is better; and many people come to Shanghai for the day to browse and shop. There are already more than 9,000 kilometers (5,592 miles) of operational lines—and that’s set to double by 2015. If the “market decides” framing of China’s Third Plenum applies here, much of the investment should switch from building brand-new lines to increasing capacity on routes that are already proven successes.

7. Solar industry survivors flourish

Many solar stocks, while nowhere near their all-time highs, more than tripled in value in 2013. For the entire industry, and specifically for Chinese players, it was a year of much-needed relief. By November, ten of the Chinese solar-panel manufacturers that lost money in 2012 reported third-quarter profits, driven by demand from Japan in the wake of the Fukushima disaster. (Japan’s installed capacity quadrupled, from 1.7 gigawatts in 2012 to more than 6 gigawatts by the end of 2013.) Domestic demand also picked up as the State Grid Corporation of China allowed some small-scale distributed solar-power plants to be connected to the grid, while a State Council subsidy program even prompted panel manufacturers to invest in building and operating solar farms—an initiative that will ramp up further.

This year is likely to see even stronger demand. Aided by international organizations, including the World Bank, an increasing number of developing countries (such as India) regard scaling up distributed power as a way of improving access to electricity. In addition, solar-energy prices continue to fall rapidly, driven down by technological innovations and a focus on operational efficiency. While I’m on green topics, I’ll point out that the coming months are also likely to see another effort to create a real Chinese electric-vehicle market. The push will be centered on the launch of the first vehicle from Shenzhen BYD Daimler New Technology.

8. Mall developers go bankrupt—especially state-owned ones

Shopping malls are losing ground to the online marketplace. While overall retail sales are growing, e-retail sales jumped by 50 percent in 2013. Although the rate of growth may slow in 2014, it will be significant. Yet developers have already announced plans to increase China’s shopping-mall capacity by 50 percent during the next three years. For an industry that generates a significant portion of its returns from a percentage of the sales of retailers in its malls, this looks rash indeed. If clothing and electronics stores are pulling back on the number of outlets, what will fill these malls? Certainly, more restaurants, cinemas, health clinics, and dental and optical providers. But banks and financial-service advisers are moving online, as are tutorial and other education services.

I expect malls in weaker locations to suffer disproportionately. These are often owned by smaller developers that can’t afford better locations or by city-sponsored state-owned developers that are expanding into new cities. The weak will get weaker, and while they may be able to consolidate, it’s more likely they will go out of business.

9. The Shanghai Free Trade Zone will be fairly quiet

In early October, there was much speculation about the size of the opportunity after the State Council issued the Overall Plan for the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ), and the Shanghai municipality issued its “negative list” of restricted and prohibited projects just a few days later at the end of September. For the FTZ, the only change so far appears to be that companies allowed to invest in it will not have to go through an approval process. As for the negative list, while there’s a possibility that Shanghai will ease the limitations, for the moment the list very much matches the categories for restricted and prohibited projects in the government’s fifth Catalog of Industries for Guiding Foreign Investment. This ambiguous situation gives the authorities, as usual, full freedom to maintain the status quo or to pursue bolder liberalization in the FTZ in 2014 if they see a need for a stimulus of some kind. On balance, I’d say this is relatively unlikely to happen.

10. European soccer teams invest in the Chinese Super League

I know, I know—I’m making exactly the same prediction I did a year ago. True, Chinese football has battled both corruption and a lack of long-term vision. It’s also true that the Chinese Super League still trails Spain’s La Liga and the English Premier League in television ratings. That’s in spite of roping in stars such as Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba (who both returned to Europe this year) and even David Beckham (as an “ambassador”).

At least this year some things started to improve. After all, Guangzhou Evergrande just won Asia’s premier club competition—the AFC Champions League—a year after hiring Italy’s seasoned coach Marcelo Lippi. This international success could be temporary, but there is a shared sense in China that something has to change because there is so much underleveraged potential. Maybe Rupert Murdoch’s decision to invest in the Indian football league will precipitate more openness among Chinese football administrators? Perhaps the catalyst will be the news that the Qatari investors in Manchester City also invested in a New York City soccer franchise? An era of cross-border synergies from the development and branding of sister soccer teams is coming closer.

Finally, something that’s less a prediction than a request. Can we declare the end of the “BRICs”? When the acronym came into common use, a decade ago, the BRIC countries—Brazil, Russia, India, and China—contributed roughly 20 percent of global economic growth. Although China was already the heavyweight, it did not yet dominate: in 2004, the country contributed 13 percent of global growth in gross domestic product, while Brazil, Russia, and India combined contributed 9 percent, with similar growth rates. Compare that with the experience of the past two years. China accounted for 26 percent of global economic growth in 2012 and for 29 percent in 2013. The collective share of Brazil, Russia, and India has shrunk to just 7 percent. It’s time to let BRIC sink.

3 jobs,not growth
as tech improves,people in many fields face losing jobs,because they can just do less,compared with machine and tech(Foxcconn's example)
so government should pay more attention to jobs,to secure people from losing them.
4 M&A in logistics
logistics face changes to increase productivity.
5 buildings aging fast need to be taken seriously
people spend much to buy apartments,but just find they are aging fast and losing value.
buildings built a few decades ago need to rebuilt..
6 high-speed rail face more and more consumers
fasle prediction before.rail is fulled by consumers.
investment should be put into improve capacity of those already built rails,not just new rails.
7 solar industy survivors flourish
stronger demand,tech improvement,higher efficiency.
8 mall developers bankrupt(state-owned)
face serious competition from e-malls.
need to change,bring more functions maybe.
9 FTZ's development quiet
