S : Oh, come on. It was . . . ewww!

K : OK. Anyway, the guy I’m meeting is also called Paul, and he also likes to talk about wine.

S : Funny coincidence!1 Was he quite tall and around 32 years old?

K : Yes. This Paul wears glasses and has brown hair. He’s very laid-back2 and friendly and has a nice smile.

S : Oh my God! It sounds like exactly the same guy! But did he have the rattail?

K : You know, I didn’t see him from behind. We were face-to-face the whole time.

S : Well, take it from me, if you saw that thing, you’d think twice about this guy.

(Paul approaches the table from behind Samantha.)

K : (Nervously, trying to let on that Paul is behind

Samantha) I’m sure it wasn’t that bad. It’s personality that counts, anyway, right?

S : Please! When you look like an oversized rodent, I’m not interested in any —

P : (Interrupting) Hello, ladies. Nice to see you again, Samantha.

Dennis Chan was visiting the

UNESCO-listed† Dunhuang

Caves in China in 1997 when

he was struck by the idea

for a unique range. Teaming

up with French entrepreneur

Guillaume Brochard, Chan

launched Qeelin in 2004. In

little over five years, the brand’s

strong cross-cultural identity

has become internationally

recognized. Stores have

opened in Paris, London and

IN fine cuisine, some of the

most impressive dishes

品牌經營學


陳瑞麟在二○○四年時與法企業家

布羅夏德共同創立 Qeelin [`kil6n]。

Qeelin 音近中國神獸「麒麟」兩字的

廣東話發音，象徵祥瑞、興旺。此後

陳瑞麟就以音譯為其珠寶系列命名，

如 Wulu「葫蘆」、Ling Long「玲

瓏」、BoBo「寶寶」等。

Qeelin 品牌名稱由來

你 | 知 | 道 | 嗎？

Los Angeles, with the first

boutique established in Taipei

in 2008.

The different collections

reflect aspects5 of Chinese

culture. Wulu, for example, is the

Mandarin word for gourd,h and

this collection contains pieces

shaped like those vegetables.

Gourds were traditionally used by

the Chinese for many non-culinary

purposes and also symbolize

longevity.6 The Ling Long

collection, meanwhile, uses

strung silver bells, which are

said to ward off7 evil spirits.

The name comes from the

Chinese onomatopoeiah for the

sound of clinking jewels and

also conveys exquisiteness.

BoBo, the diamond-encrustedh

panda range, is perhaps the

most recognized of Qeelin’s

collections and, like Wulu, has

been widely-imitated.

Qeelin 真愛 Qin Qin 系列設計及行銷特色：

微型磁石南北極的擺放據說是法國工匠們隨機操作，

寓意真愛需要認真尋覓 ( 西方 ) 或憑藉緣分 ( 東方 )。

Yu Yi 取自中文「如意」的發音，其造型如意鎖 ( 又稱長命鎖 ) 深具中國文化底蘊，

而其結構極為複雜，對法國工匠珠寶鑲嵌手工功夫的挑戰成為幾近不可能的任務。

張曼玉親自找來知名攝影師夏永康

Yu Yi 系列設計及行銷特色：由於如意鎖構造複雜，據稱陳瑞麟與珠寶工匠共花了

整整一年多的時間，才完成 Yu Yi 作品。爾後由好友張曼玉代言並採用她所提出的

「on the road」概念定調廣告的整體操作方向。

關於「如意」那是東方文化考驗西方珠寶鑲嵌功夫的極致

陳瑞麟嘗試極具創意的技術，將微型磁石

（micro magnet）鑲在 Qin Qin 系列的鑽飾

裡。當每隻鑽石金魚的唇部向「真愛」的另一

條鑽石金魚靠近時便會自然「親親」，如不是

「真愛」就會極力彈開。

品牌經營學

國際名模裴蓓深具東方古典美的外型，

獲選今年 Perle de Lotus 最佳代言人

Qeelin has used some major Asian

stars of screen and catwalk to promote its

collections. Chinese supermodel Du Juan

was the face of the Qin Qin range in 2009

and award-winning Hong Kong actress

Maggie Cheung fronted8 ad campaigns

for Wulu watches and Yu Yi necklaces.

When Cheung donned distinctive9

Wulu earrings while accepting the Best

Actress Award at Cannes in 2004, Qeelin

had not even been launched. However,

interest in the brand was immediately

piqued.10 Cheung grew up in the U.K.

and speaks fluent English and French.

Chan felt that, with a foot in both† Europe

and Asia, she was the ideal brand

ambassador11 for Qeelin. The fact that

she was in a relationship with Brochard

when she first got the gigh with Qeelin

also probably helped. In 2011, Cheung is

again joining forces with Qeelin, this time

as an advertising campaign director.

In a short space of time, Qeelin has

established itself as a force in luxury

jewelry. Along with fellow Hong Kong

jewelers Luk Fook and Kin Hung Lee,

Qeelin is catering to a burgeoning12

market of gem lovers in Asia. By setting

itself up as what Chan calls “a true

Francoh-Chinese brand,” it is also

catching the eye of high societyh in the

West.

Losing your temper is one of the worst things that can happen at work. For a split second1

yourself into trouble will help you realize which situations are dangerous to you personally.

Do these situations ever happen to you? If so, you need to develop your own anger

management strategy to help you keep your cool and avoid making a mistake that could

be costly to your career.

calm down, pull back from the brink,1 and avoid making that fateful error that could haunt2 you

for years.

Soundsgoodright?Butwhat’sthetrick?

1. Leave the conversation. Refrain3 from retaliatingh in anger. If you can’t control

yourself, simply leave the room.

2. Hide your emotions. If you can keep your anger under wraps and still continue the

conversation, then that is ideal.

3. Understand what happened. Maybe someone made a mistake, or perhaps

someone is deliberately4 trying to provoke you. Get the facts before reacting.

4. Take the long view. The situation today may not be perfect, but in the long run, what

is better for you: becoming aggressive5 with your antagonist,h or shrugging it off?6 Keep

your eye focused on your real goals.

5. Take control. Put together a strategy for dealing with the situation when you are calm

again.

6. Enjoy your life! No matter how much things — or other people — wear us down,7 the

ultimate revenge is to be happy.

Dealing with anger effectively will not only

keep you out of trouble, but it will also get you

respect and peace of mind. Remember: If you

stay cool, you are cool!中文翻譯請見 p. 79

TAIWAN is full of culinary2 delights, but which dish would you recommend to a

foreign visitor? Stinky tofu might be too extreme for a first-timer, while fried

chicken fillet is hardly unique to Taiwan. How about another staple3 served in

households and food stalls island-wide — the simple but enticing4 braisedh

mincedh pork and rice?

As tasty as this dish is, the use of fatty meat means the calorie content can be

jaw-droppingly high. One young woman has addressed this dilemma5 by giving

the old favorite a healthy twist. The daughter of restaurateurs, Lin Yuan-chun grew

up on braised minced pork and rice. Conscious of health issues, Lin began to think

about making the dish leanerh without sacrificing its authentic6 flavor. As the dish

is often served at eateries where sanitary7 conditions leave a lot to be desired, Lin

also wanted to create a clean, attractive dining environment.

braised egg 滷蛋

Teaming up with Dai Yuan-hung, the chef at

her father’s restaurant, Lin set about creating her

own brand. The pair opened VASIR early last

year, taking the name from a Romanizationh of

the Taiwanese word for braised minced pork. In

contrast to dingy,h dimly-lit stalls, their restaurant

has a bright and immaculateh European-style

interior, making for a pleasant dining experience.

A design enthusiast, Dai handled the logos and

posters, giving menu images of the simple dish a

chic appearance.

A New Slant on an Old Favorite

In terms of the dish itself,

Lin minces the pork by hand

and ensures1 the gravyh is

solely from the juices of the

meat itself, with no additional

oil added. Excess2 greaseh is

scooped away to keep down

the fat content. “People these

days are more concerned with

diet and health,” says Lin, “which

is why we want to make braised

minced pork and rice into a

healthy, light meal.”

Starting a business has

not been without challenges.

For Lin, the most difficult thing

was starting from scratch.3

From the storefront design to

the dish selection, each detail

was the result of painstaking4

discussion. In addition to Dai’s

input, her father’s experience

has been invaluable. “What

Dad has taught me the most is

to maintain a positive attitude

even in difficulties.” Looking to

the future, Lin is ambitious and

says her goal is to become like

restaurant tycoon5 Alan Yau.†

As with many Taiwanese

staples, the simplicity of braised

minced pork and rice reflects

the spirit of the down-to-earth6

folk who created it generations

ago. The new generation, with its

creativity and vitality,7 is not only

maintaining traditional tastes, but

adding its own touches to create

a contemporary Taiwanese

flavor. As well as aiming for

personal success, restaurateurs

like Lin hope to propel8 these

updated dishes onto the

international stage to better

represent Taiwanese cuisine.


台灣小吃業者通常採取傳統家族經營模式，較欠缺行銷概念。有意透過小吃創業者可參考以下方式：

1. 資金來源：可多利用政府單位的

輔助專案，申請（apply for）較低利率的小額貸款（small-amount loans）。

2. 改良口味：研發符合新時代口味的美食，加強獨特性。

3. 虛心學習：採納顧客的批評和建議，提昇服務及餐點品質。

4. 善用網路行銷（e-marketing）：設立網站或 Facebook 粉絲團，與網友互動零時差。

5. 把握曝光機會（opportunity of media exposure）：參加小吃節、美食節等活動，結合地方觀光同時打響知名度。
