    Day 3-Aztech

    Day 3
    Before we left Shenzhen, we stopped by "Windows of the world". It's a pity we do not have the time nor chance to enter that place. But still we managed to take some photos.
    After that we head off to a Museum. We entered into the exbition of wildlife and underwater. Was surprise and a bit affected by the animals who went through certain process and are now on display.



    The previous 3 photos are model of Shenzhen. We got to see the whole infarstructure and was amazed that there is one road that travel from one end of Shenzhen to the other. Other than those exibits, we also caught some chinese calligraphy drawings. Finally we left that place after doing some lychee tea tasting. 1.5 hour trip to Dongguan to visit Aztech factory. I think we lost our way a few times that we ended up reaching the factory around 4pm.

    We had a little briefing by Mr Jeremy Mun, he is the director and a Singaporean. During the briefing, we were introduced to the products and the company. We then proceed to tour around the factory plus the living quarters of the employees of the firm.


    The workers working in the factory are colour coded by their uniforms. I was amazed at how everything that goes into a box is all put together manually. From the folding of the boxes to putting in the different components are all done by hand. I feel so guilty how i will simply ripped everything apart when it is put together with care and so much effort. =S


    Next we move on to the warehouse, i can only say that it was HUGE. And to differentiate the goods, they are all tagged with colour codes.

    This is a company who understand the importance of retaining their employees by taking good care of their welfare. Being situated in a village, there is simply not much one can do in the place therefore Aztech has simply moved the recreation all to one place.


    A sheltered walkway which deeply reminds me of Singapore.

    Caring for the employees do not simply stop at them having places like KTV room, library, computer labs. But it is important that their health is also taken into consideration. Thus, they have a clinic in the premises itself with doctors and even a dentist.


    The meals are also provided to the employees. Those who worked in the office and in the factory seats at different places even though the food being served are the same. Doesn't the canteen reminds you of hawker centres back in Singapore? They are almost the same. Lastly, they have a convinent store which sells everything. You name it, they most probably have it.


    Finally we went back into the conference room and continue with our QnA session. My group was supposed to be the first group to ask questions. Boy, am i so glad that we can ask in English. Mr Mun was really helpful and he really tried answering all our questions to the best of his ability. I would say it is the best company we visited. I supposed since we are all from Singapore, it makes a difference. It was getting late so we had to get moving on to Guangzhou which is another 2 hours journey.

    Going along the road, we see this:

    Roadside seller selling fruits, this is almost non-existence in Singapore. Another thing which brings me closer to home was this style of hanging the clothes out. Our "marikita" haha... and the last photo will show China's style of hanging out clothes to dry.
