The little boy, Cui Xiao Yang, was born in the morning. After he came into the world, Rick told everyone this good news as soon as possible to enjoy his happiness, even if he was very hurry-scurry. The baby is so cute! On the photo, he says: hello, everyone, my name is Cui Xiao Yang. Daddy and mammy are very happy to see me coming into the world. Now my eyes can't be opened widely. When I become more handsome, I will ask daddy to take a new photo to you, OK?

Rick said when his wife was in pregnancy, he went out with her wife to take exercise or a walk in the park everyday. While the baby was born, Rick felt very excited. He not only shows us his lovely baby, but also brings us a new works:Maternity .

KML
By Alan Ross, South Africa

In the relatively short period of time in which we has distributed the KML product in South Africa, the brand has become very important to us.

KML is our second largest bearing agency after Koyo, this emphasizes the importance of KML to our company.

There are many importers of Chinese manufactured bearing product into South Africa. Some, like us, are only prepared to sell quality. Others do not put much emphasis on quality and are only looking for the best price.

The growth of our KML business has been rapid and this has happened because once the brand acceptance of KML had started to take place form our customers, we took a conscious decision to promote KML as a quality product and to set it apart from other Chinese brands. And, we received a good response from our customers.

The brand has promoted itself to some extent due to the quality of the bearing, the excellent packaging and the reasonable pricing structure which we now follows.

Our companys success with the KML product is largely dependant on the support which we receive from KML in China.

There have been times where KML has failed to deliver bearings within the expected lead-time. This leads to loss of sales, loss of customer confidence and ultimately loss of business for both our company and KML.

We believe that if KML is to become a force internationally they need to offer a comprehensive range of product. This is something which they are not able to do at present and allows our competitors to lead the field in the supply of Chinese Bearing product in South Africa .
Whilst we understand that it is not possible to offer every bearing we do believe that the common ranges of cylindrical roller bearings, double row ball bearings, singular row angular contact bearings, double row angular contact ball bearing and self aligning ball bearings, should be the part of the standard range. This should be done without the restrictions of minimum order quantities, as this would restrict our ordering capability.

The majority business of our company is aimed at the aftermarket where availability of the range is the key to success.
Having KML as the procurement specialists, gives us peace of mind that quality and reliability of the product will not be compromised and that we can promote the product with the utmost confidence into our market.

The ideal position for us with KML in the South African market is to offer the brand as a viable, more affordable product than our mainline brands such as Koyo, Nachi, Timken, INA etc.

The resistance to the brand is limited to those customers who do not have the confidence to switch from a European or Japanese manufactured product to one made in China.

The South African market is sophisticated in some ways but very price sensitive. That is why by having a quality Chinese product which is more affordable than a Japanese or European brand, there are many opportunities to promote and sell the KML product.

Daisy
By Du Rongjuan, KML Export Dept.
My name is Du Rongjuan, and Daisy is my English name. I have worked in KML for eighteen months.

My friends would like to call me "Du Juan". In Chinese, "Du Juan" has two meanings: Azalea, or a bird. "Are you a flower or a bird? " Someone has made a joke to me. I think I prefer to be a bird so that I can fly in the wide sky.

I like sport so much. I enjoy the passion of jumping and running; also enjoy the feeling of relaxation and sweating after sport, as if all the unhappy thing and pressure will slip with the sweat. In the spare time, I am fond of drawing and reading. I terribly like a little poem of Rabindranath Tagore:

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers But to be fearless in face them Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain But for the heart to conquer it Let me not look for allies in life battlefield But to my own strength Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved But hope for the patience to win my freedom Grant me that I may not be a coward Feeling your mercy in my success alone But let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure

Although it is not the typical one of his works, it is the best one to move me profoundly, because it embodies completely the reanimation to soul and the bravery to face the destiny. Many years past, it still keeps in my mind deeply.

I like staying with friends. I have many interesting colleagues and they are very nice. I live with them. Taking care each other and helping each other remind me of collective living in school, warmly and happily.
