Company Visit 3: L i-Ning
The largest sports company in China. And 4th largest in the world if I rmb correctly.

"Anything is possible" that's the company slogan. The letter P is missing in the picture.


Nikki attempting to fix the problem

Meeting rooms are named after countries
Indoor swimming pool (and other sports facilities) which their employees can use 24/7
Autographs of major Chinese athletes That's the company logo. Told that its resembles the company logo and alphabet "L"
Jesse acting boss, again.

Lady introducing L i-Ning to us. She didn't quite answer the question when we asked her if the company faced any criticism for having a logo similar to Nike's. Instead, she went on to explain how the logo represented the letter "L" (initials of the founder). How it resembles the tail of the squirrel which represents balance. Ties in with the gymnastic past (ha) of their founder L i Ning.

But i was impressed by the company's willingness to give back to the society. They're building a primary school for every Gold Olympic medal their sponsored athlete wins at the games. A very generous thing to do. Track inspired architecture. Architect's a German.

Logo and slogon.


MBA and their kong fu craze Handsome men. haha.
