Max Energy Boy Superhero

Its 2 am and everyone in the Energy household is fast asleep; everyone except Max that is. William Energy commonly known as Energy Bill is awoken by loud bang downstairs. He turns to his wife Louis and whispers Hey Lo did you heard that?
Hear what? she sleepily replies.
I think someones downstairs. Stay here. Bill grabs the Louisville Slugger he keeps next to the bed and quietly tiptoes down the hall. From the top of the stairs he can make out the faint yellowish glow from the kitchen light. CLANK! The sound of a dropped frying pan echoes through the hall. Bill swallows his fears and continues. As he rounds the corner hes met with…
Max!!! screams Bill. What on gods holy earth are you doing!? Glancing around the kitchen Bill discovers the incredible mess that his son made. The counter is overflowing with jars and bottles and boxes. A smorgasbord of dripping ice cream gallons doughnut boxes and empty candy wrappers pollute the room.
Hi Dad! I couldnt sleep so I thought Id make myself a little snack! exclaims Max whose face is plastered with powdered sugar chocolate syrup and ice cream. Max has a horrible sweet tooth.
Well eating all that gosh darn junk food isnt going to make to sleep any better!

Max knew this but what Bill didnt know was that his son was a super hero Max Energy. When your cats stuck in a tree who do you call? Max Energy. When his mom cant find her car keys who does she call? You got it. When an international jewel thief is on the prowl who do you call? Well probably the CIA but still Max is one helpful guy. If superpowers were determined by good intent hed be unstoppable.

Maxes latest nemesis is Rodger Wallington. Rodger should be in 6th grade but due to his horrible attitude and blatant disrespect for everyone at school his teachers thought it would be wise to hold him back a year to let him mature before entering middle school. Actually this was a terrible idea. It made him even angrier and he took it out on everyone that got in his way.

The next day at recess Max is enjoying his usual snack power pills a pack of gummy gushers when all of a sudden he hears a scream from the kickball field. Im not gunna go get it!
You kicked it Rodger just go get it pleaded Suzy Pinkerton.
What are you gunna do? Tell on me? Suzy could feel the tears welling up as her eyes glassed over. Awe you gunna cry? Should I call the Whambulance?

Hey! Whats the matter? asks Max as he runs over.
Rodger came over and punted our ball into the bushes Suzy managed to spit out.
Dont worry Ill go get it! says Max as he takes off running. The problem was that the bushes were on the other side of a stream. A stream that happened to be 4 feet deep and bordered the enter field. Max ran up and down the stream looking for a section narrow enough to jump across. There he thought as he spotted a part of the stream that pulled in just enough that he might be able to make if he gives it his all. He takes off running full speed ahead and with all of his energy he leaps across the river and just makes it to the other bank. Phew that was close. Frantically scours the area for the ball making sure not to be seen by any teachers. Students werent allowed across the river.

Up ahead stuck in tree branches Max spots the bright red kick ball; but its out of his reach. He grabs a stick to knock it free. The ball falls down hits a rock and bounces into the water. He knew what he had to do. Without a hesitation Max plunges into the water grabbing the ball. But now he was caught in the rivers pull flowing fast with current. He starts kicking and paddling; so fast that he actually starts to swim upstream! When he finally makes it back to Suzy he is soaking wet.
Thanks Max Energy! Youre the best Suzy said with a smile on her face. As she leans in to give him a peck on the cheek the bell rings.
Well I guess we better get going. Being a Super hero isnt easy but someones gotta do it.

Chinese Auto Brands Analysis

China’s such a big country the current economic status is to enter the world as early as seven. China’s auto industry produced 4.4 million motor vehicles in 2003 who has become the world’s fourth largest car producer. But China has not a worldrenowned automotive brand at all which is not match the economic status today. None of our car brands is a worldwide brand even the worst of our brands in the domestic influence is so limited the current domestic auto market is further being swallowed by foreign car manufacturers. Here mainly analysis the current status of the own brand and how to create a big global brands.

Some scholars believe that the brand can be sustained much longer than the company’s specific products they recognized that brand is a more longterm company’s principal assets. Therefore when our country is making famous in the automotive brand we should look at the world and we should have the global automotive brand Daizo strategic vision and courage.

20 years ago the idea that was to use the domestic market to exchange for advanced technology so that China’s national automotive industry to catch up with international advanced level. After 20 years China has finally produced the world’s third largest automobile market the number of National Automobile selfmade business has grown up from more than 10 to over 120 auto industry become one of the important industry for stimulating national economic development. China’s own brand car did not move toward the world only but also lost most of the domestic market. China Steam brand has fallen into a “marginalized” “deChina” dilemma!.

Look from the latest Chinese automobile and worldrenowned automobile brand value rankings In 2004 the top three of Chinese automobile brand value is: monoxide 28.978 billion yuan SAIC 18.389 billion yuan Dongfeng 8945000000 yuan . the top three of Worldrenowned automobile brand value: Toyota 22.67 billion U.S. dollars Mercedes 21.33 billion U.S. dollars BMW 15.886 billion U.S. dollars. We can see that the Chinese auto brand value is far below the worldrenowned brand through the comparison above theres a difference of disparity. Therefore there is still a long way to go for creating China’s own brand car world.

The disadvantaged of own brand has attracted wide attention but most concern is the intellectual property rights with Chinese trademarks not the concerns and thinking for brand value. this is an important reason for China’s auto enterprises to ignored or even give up their own brands. At present the introduction of CIS corporate identity system is not few but the introduction of BIS brand identity Strategy is extremely scarce.

But unfortunately like Chery Geely Great Wall these emerging domestic car companieswhile they are creating their own brands they profoundly awareness the importance of brand strategy. Because it is original they can create a new brand freely which is favorable conditions that stateowned conglomerates and joint ventures do not have. However they also face their own problems the product is too new yet to be market and customer testing. If people quickly forgotten as yolio and qiyun such products dont they understand the brand? If the product does not exist for a long time value it is not brand strategy.

But now many manufacturers are also feeling somewhat helpless when they insist on support of selfdeveloped ownbrand. Selfdevelopment is currently facing some of the biggest problem: First there are not much support from states policies; the second: It is now many companies did not dare to talk about selfdevelopment but not a lack of sense of responsibility the reasons also due to appraisal system and accounting system. Third at present China’s consumer culture consumer psychology and consumer concept have malformations for example many consumers do not want to see Chinese characters on cars it is necessary to know that the characters in the land of China is not a shame.

In short it should not be so anxious in the development of own national brand of motor vehicles. This requires the generation or even the next generation efforts. Although own wellknown brands still has a long way to go I believe China will have an even number of worldclass wellknown car brands in the near future.
