  • Company Law of China, There Were a Great Deal of Companies
    THE COMPANY LAW OF CHINA Zhao Youg Qing" INTRODUCTION The Standing Committee of the Eighth National People's Congress approved the Company Law of the People's Republic of China (Company Law) in its Fifth Session on December 29, 1993. On the same day, the President of the People's Republic of China promulgated it, and the Company Law of China came into force on July 1, 1994. The Company Law is important because for the first time in mainland China the organization and activity of business entities are regulated. For this reason, the Company Law is the foundation of modem socialist enterprises and the market economic system. Many new companies are expected to be established pursuant to the Company Law, and many existing enterprises such as state-owned enterprises, enterprises with foreign investment, and privately owned enterprises will be reorganized under the Company Law. This will allow for the establishment of modem enterprises with clearly defined ownership rights, with articulated boundaries regarding rights and duties between government and enterprises, and with the use of scientific management techniques. The promulgation of the Company Law is also a significant step toward China's compliance with international practices, especially in the field of Company Law. I. LEGISLATION GOVERNING COMPANIES BEFORE ENACTMENT OF THE COMPANY LAW Before the birth of the Company Law, China did have some laws and regulations with respect to companies.' These laws govern only certain * Zhao Yong Qing practices law in the PRC as an attorney with the Ningbo Municipal External Lawyer Office.

  • VINCENTE MINNELLI Biography
    American MovieMakers VINCENTE MINNELLI Biography "Basically, I work to please myself," Vincente Minnelli wrote in his autobiography, I Remember It Well. "But I'm the hardest person to please that I know. I'm not an artist in the classical sense. I'm still not sure if movies are an art form. And if they're not, let them inscribe on my tombstone what they could about any craftsman who loves his job: 'Here Lies Vincente Minnelli. He died of hard work.1" Vincente Minnelli (1903-86) was a unique filmmaker who combined special affinities for composition, color, and visual detail with an innate sensitivity and sophistication to create some of Hollywood's most memorable and dazzling films. From his film directorial debut in 1943 with Cabin in the Sky (1943) -- an all-black musical featuring Ethel Waters, Lena Home, Eddie (Rochester) Anderson, and Louis Armstrong -- to such musical classics as Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), An American in Paris (1951), The Band Wagon (1953), and Gigi (1958), the dramas Lust for Life (1956) and The Bad and the Beautiful (1953), and the comedies The Long, Long Trailer (1954) and Father of the Bride (1950), Minnelli put his special stamp on a treasured and unequaled movie legacy. "I approach each film as an entirely new experience growing out of the particular material involved," he once said. "Musical, romantic comedy or tragic drama, each contains different aspects of the same basic problem. That is, to tell a story through characters, dialogue, sometimes through dance or pantomime, in a manner as nearly unique for that particular film as ability, resourcefulness, and inspiration will permit.

  • Notice of Annual Shareholders' Meeting
    2020 Notice of Annual Shareholders’ Meeting and Proxy Statement 2020 PROXY CHAIRMAN’S LETTER Dear McDonald’s Shareholders, Colleagues, Crew Members, Franchisees and Customers, 2019 was an important year for McDonald’s, with record setting financial and operational performance and an unprecedented challenge, the coronavirus, confronting the world towards the end of the year. With its strong performance in 2019, the company is well positioned to manage through this crisis, both from a business standpoint and with respect to our values, which will help guide us through these uncertain times. Strength of the System. The McDonald’s system continues to demonstrate its strength, even through periods of change and uncertainty. I believe we did that incredibly well in 2019 by staying focused on executing our proven Velocity Growth Plan, and the proof is in the results as we hit a number of performance milestones for the company and our franchisees, including $100 billion in Systemwide sales, a global comparable sales increase of 5.9%, the highest in more than 10 years, and record – or near record – franchisee cash flow in most markets. Along with consolidated revenues of $21.1 billion, these achievements enabled McDonald’s to deliver a three-year total shareholder return of 75%, outpacing major indices and the average among our peer group. We also achieved our three-year target of returning $25 billion to shareholders. As a result, the McDonald’s system entered into 2020 in an exceptionally strong financial position. No doubt, Ray Kroc and Fred Turner would have marveled at the success of the McDonald’s system.
