Bank hopes its leasing subsidiary can help to internationalise its brand and operationsWhile many of the big names in mainland banking have expanded overseas by opening branches or acquiring foreign assets, China Minsheng Bank has adopted a different approach and is building its brand through aircraft leasing.mini storageIts Minsheng Financial Leasing unit, one of the first five mainland financial leasing companies with a banking background to be approved by the China Banking Regulatory Commission, has recently expanded its private jet leasing to commercial aircraft after setting up Minsheng Commercial Aviation in Hong Kong.Mainland banks’ aviation units are gaining a foothold in the global aircraft leasing market on the back of abundant liquidity and strategic retreats by Western counterparts hit by the global economic downturn.BOC Aviation, backed by Bank of China, was the sixth-largest lessor in terms of fleet value in 2012, according to a report by accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. BOC Aviation and the leasing unit of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China were rumoured to have been eyeing the acquisition of American International Group subsidiary International Lease Finance Company between late 2008 and early 2009.“We [Minsheng Bank] are quite new to the market with less than 20 years,” said Johnny Lau Ho-yin, managing director of Minsheng Financial Leasing’s aircraft leasing division and chief executive of the newly-established commercial aviation arm.“Expanding to the commercial aviation business can helself storage pave our way to internationalisation,” he said, while adding that the bank was also looking to open branches in other countries.Minsheng Commercial Aviation is seeking to build relationships with the big names in aviation by buying aircraft in the secondary market or directly from aircraft manufacturers and then leasing the planes to airlines.Zhang Lin, deputy general manager at China Merchants Bank’s subsidiary CMB Financial Leasing, said mainland leasing firms were buying more aircraft because they wanted to build up the scale of the aviation business.They could enter new markets more easily and quickly through binding aircraft leasing deals with overseas airlines, she said.Minsheng Financial Leasing is the top player in the industry in terms of assets. Zhang Bo, vice-president of the firm, aims to lift the contribution of the aviation business to a third of total assets, up from the current 10 per cent.Lau, a seasoned banker in the aviation business, is a former chief financial officer of mainland budget airline Spring Airlines and former head of aviation at ICBC Leasing.“Our parent’s banking background helps us to get funding at lower costs,” he said. “And clients often view us as more stable.”Its private jet business often targeted mainland entrepreneurs, he said, while its commercial aviation business would let more international companies and individuals know about the firm and probably Minsheng Bank, its parent.“Going international will help our operation and capital rasing in the future,” Lau said.迷你倉

Source: Odessa American, TexasJan.24小時迷你倉 05--Hydraulic fracturing is the well completion technique behind the national oil and gas boom. It is controversial. But few Americans understand what it is, and even still, that understanding is poorly informed by what life is actually like in a boomtown, according to a recent survey by researchers at Oregon State, George Mason and Yale universities.The study surveyed 1,061 people throughout the country, and more than half reported knowing "little or nothing" about "the issue," while those that did were split almost evenly about whether to support it."First of all, most Americans don't associate the term "fracking" with anything in particular -- They don't know," said Hilary Boudet, a public policy expert at Oregon State University and lead author on the study, on Friday. "Those that do so with oil and gas do so generically. "That population still reflects confusion, perhaps a result of conflicted interests about oil and gas development putting forward conflicting information.Boudet in a statement accompanying the study's release said that suggests an opportunity to educate Americans "in a non-partisan way about this important issue. The question is who will lead that discussion?"Fracking is the colloquial term for when operators pump millions of gallons of pressurized water mixed with sand and chemicals into underground rock through a perforated wellbore, splitting the rock apart and unleashing oil and/or natural gas.That, at least, summarizes the technical part.But public perception is chiefly shaped by environmental or economic impacts, according to the report, published in late December in the academic journal Energy Policy. Even lesser attention is given nationally "to social impacts: physical and psychological changes communities face throughout the various stages of development-related boom and bust."Put differently: the fracking controversy is not about West Texas, or the other places where communities see the broader impacts of the national oil renaissance. Those impacts, the study reports, include not just macroeconomic triumph or environmental risk but issues such as like higher crime, tighter housing, upward mobility and the small businesses that are performing well during the boom.Further research into perception of people in communities near energy production could better inform "policy makers seeking to balance the needs of local communities grappling with unconventional oil/gas development with those of broader regional populations.""In some wa迷你倉旺角s you get a sense of how far the shadow of development goes: so who actually feels personally affected by a particular development," Boudet said, adding that understanding can help with planning and communication efforts.The study did not assess how perceptions might vary geographically or how people living close to energy production might feel. Boudet said she plans to research that.Supporters of fracking generally argue that the technique spurs economic growth, advances domestic energy supplies for greater security and provides a bridge away from coal-based power, which is more carbon-intensive, according to the study.About 22 percent of respondents in the study said they supported fracking. Generally, they were better educated, politically conservative and older. They tended to watch TV as their primary news source.About 20 percent of respondents said they opposed fracking. This group included women, those with egalitarian world views and people who said they were more familiar with the process. Opponents were also likely to associate fracking with environmental harm. They tended to get their news from newspapers."People that are actually familiar with hydraulic fracturing and what it does, have got to be way below 1 percent of the people in this country," said Kirk Edwards, president of Las Colinas Energy Partners and past president of the Permian Basin Petroleum Association, adding that fracking is often unfairly tied to other problems that might actually exist, confusing people. "There has been a tremendous amount of human error in relation to production of oil and gas but it has nothing to do with hydraulic fracturing."PBPA leaders have encouraged members to better explain what they do to the public, describing a need to dispel misconceptions. That is why Jimmy Davis, the oilfield operations manager for Midland-based Fasken Oil and Ranch, said he has brought a host of national media on tours of the company's leases.Boudet, for her part in the fracking perception study, wrote "it is high time to pursue a wide ranging and inclusive public dialog about its potential risks and benefits.""People are busy, so it's hard for them to stay up to speed on some of these issues," Boudet said. "It's been in many ways invisible when we go to the gas tank."Contact Corey Paul on Twitter @OAcrime on Facebook at OA Corey Paul or call 432-333-7768.Copyright: ___ (c)2014 the Odessa American (Odessa, Texas) Visit the Odessa American (Odessa, Texas) at .oaoa.com Distributed by MCT Information Servicesmini storage

Source: Greeley Tribune, Colo.mini storageJan. 05--Amid the continued controversial topic of fracking, a University of Northern Colorado professor decided this fall that if her students were going to be for or against something, they should know what they're talking about.It was time, in the energy unit of her Human Behavior and the Environment class, to learn a little more about the oil and gas industry sitting in her students' backyards."I think I am a skeptical environmental enthusiast, which also gets to the reality of world we live in, and we need energy," Pepper Mueller said of her own personal beliefs. "I think that to really be for or against something, you want to get the whole picture. You want to know what it looks like."So she contacted the Richardsons at Mineral Resources Inc., a Greeley-based, family owned oil and gas exploration company, and secured an invitation for a tour of an actual frac job being conducted by Halliburton at the company's Bestway drilling site at 35th Avenue and 4th Street in northwest Greeley.On a cold November day, the students walked through the site, saw the equipment, heard the noise, smelled the air, and all but one even touched the frac fluid, as they learned about a practice that had been debated so much in recent years.Onsite, it was a bit of organized chaos. A first impression for many in the tour was the incredible sound. During the actual frack- ing, there are a minimum of 12 semi trucks all rumbling their engines to provide the horsepower and the mixing of the frac fluids to pump down the well bore.Earplugs are a must to hear any conversation, and employees all have extras in their pockets."I will admit, that was my first impression, that it was hard to hear what they were saying," Mueller said. "I felt like they were trying hard to be transparent on how things worked and what the machines were for."Mueller said she and students were impressed with the ways the company worked to keep the site as environmentally sound as they could. The area was lined for potential spills; it even had a company onsite performing dust control.In final "reflection papers," one student wrote he was glad to see the entire site was lined, so if one of those semi trucks leaked oil, it would not seep into the ground.Mueller said she was surprised at the lack of dust and fumes on the site; she was happy to learn Halliburton used a closed-loop system, ensuring nothing pumped in or flowing out of the well would hit the ground.The tour even allowed the students to touch frac fluid, which reminded Mueller of the slime that she bought for her kids at the toy store when they were 儲存ounger. Students, she said, responded differently to the fluid and were surprised to learn the same chemicals could be found in chewing gum."I had one girl who totally reached out and touched it, and one girl just wouldn't because she was concerned it was dangerous and toxic," Mueller said. "I touched it. My fingers are still intact."The tour didn't completely change everyone's minds about their concerns of environmental dangers, Mueller said. At least, she said, they all said they learned something."One said I had a misperception that the oil and gas industry was nothing but mean, money hungry individuals out to exploit the environment, but everyone I came in contact with was polite, friendly and eager to educate," Mueller said of one student's reaction.Another student, Synovia Duncan, in an email response to questions, responded:"I was surprised by everything, and actually a little fascinated as well. I left the site feeling better about the people who frac, but not better about the practice. I still think it is an awful process, with lots of potential for harm to humans and the natural world. But these guys seemed committed to going the extra mile to ensure that their process didn't harm anyone or anything. It was very educational and interesting."Mueller said the tour was informative, and changed her's, and a lot of students' preconceived notions about fracking but, like Duncan, more about the people doing it."What I was most impressed with, is the industry themselves are trying to find better ways of doing things," Mueller said. "My perspective of what Mineral Resource and Halliburton on that tour presented, they too want to preserve the air and water, and they're trying to create systems and safe checks and put in place procedures and policies that would prevent environmental damage. That was surprising to me. I may have thought it was all about money, and that's how a lot of my students felt."She added, "In terms of Mineral Resources, those guys live here, this is their neighborhood. I developed a better respect that they also care about the same things we do. I got at least a better respect that I may not have had before the tour.""I think I am a skeptical environmental enthusiast, which also gets to the reality of world we live in, and we need energy. I think that to really be for or against something, you want to get the whole picture.

Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.迷利倉M.Jan. 05--Imagine a book club where no reading is required and practical concepts from books are distilled for almost immediate application. You just dreamed up the The Totally Unconventional Business Book Club at Convivium Coworking, which meets about once a month, where one person presents highlights of a book and the group discusses whatever interesting ideas are generated.Deborah Reese, catalyst and founder at Convivium Coworking, got participants thinking as she described the concepts in Malcolm Gladwell's "The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference," recently over a lunch break at the coworking offices on Anaheim NE."Change happens at a dramatic tipping point," she says of the book's theme. "There's no orderly geometric progression."Like a health epidemic, successful ideas spread through people who connect us and promote our ideas until they become widespread, a tipping point, she explains.From there she encouraged the group of about 30, some who are professionally acquainted, while others are strangers, to think of people who embody Gladwell's "Law of the Few," an economic idea, sometimes known as the 80/20 principle, that in most situations 20 percent of the participants do 80 percent of the work.Some of those effective few connect people, while others inform and still others persuade.Many identified a business associate who connected them all with others, kind of like an Albuquerque six-degrees of separation, a theory that everyone is six or fewer steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world.Relating the book to their personal experience sparked more conversation, the goal of the structured networking event.The book club always sheds light on some aspect of his business or life, says attendee Don Hanna, head of Bladewerx in Rio Rancho: "It exposes me to books I might not know about, concepts I might not know about. It's like someone recommending books to you, but better. I run a small business, so I'm always looking for ways to do that better."Going deeperReese chose the Gladwell book because reading it caused her to think in new ways: "I looked at things in a new light."At ease and relaxed in front of the crowd, Reese has presented several other books and says the experience is eye-opening: "I've found a huge value being a presenter. I go back and reread the book and I'm stunned at the new level of depth and understanding I find."The book club was an obvious offshoot of the coworking environment, she says. "We get to share in the joy of learning, for the sake of learning."Conventional book clubs have a problem. Although everyone is expected to have read the book that's up for discussion, sometimes people don't, she says."Th迷你倉t seems like a waste of time. If one of us presents a book we love, people can walk away with a snapshot, knowing whether they want to read it or not. This way everyone is equal. We can all discuss the juiciest parts of the book," Reese says.For the past year about 30 or so people have gathered every month for the book club, announced on Meetup, a social networking website for offline meetings, and on the Convivium Coworking website.One of the organizers, Susana Rinderle, who has her own consulting business for diversity training and shares space at Convivium, says the book club provides a great opportunity to learn something new from a book that might not have appealed to her: "It's super efficient. You get the benefit of the book, without having to read it."Besides, she enjoys the company of her colleagues: "They're bright, funny and into a lot of cool stuff."Although books on business and careers are the topic, any book that supports those is fair game for the club, she says.For example, this month, she's presenting Daniel H. Pink's "A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future," because it offers ways of incorporating creative thought with more traditional linear thinking styles, she says."I'm a big fan of his. He's ahead of the curve," she says. " He's hilarious."Another organizer, Renee Giraudo Holmes, a mechanical engineer who also works at Bladewerx in Rio Rancho, says the book club always stimulates some new thought: "It really helps me in my professional life. Every time I go, there are aha moments for me. I'm 29. I appreciate the experienced business professionals there. I learn a lot from them."Clifton Chadwick, chief executive officer of KeepItQuerque, an alliance of local businesses, says he's presented a few of his favorite books to the club.He likes the book club because "it's an opportunity to walk the talk and to engage with like-minded people in a different way of doing things."But that doesn't mean the discussions get boring: "We are like-minded to certain degrees and different in others." Go UnconventionalThe next meeting of The Totally Unconventional Business Book Club is at Convivium Coworking, 5924 Anaheim NE, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Jan. 22.Susana Rinderle, a diversity training consultant and Convivium member, who has also been a TEDxABQ speaker, will present "A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future," by Daniel H.
