Citibank (China) Co Ltd, or Citi China, announced on Wednesday that it achieved a 95 percent surge in net income in 2008 on the back of China's robust economic performance.

The US bank said its net income jumped to 1.3 billion yuan ($190 million) last year, while it recorded a 46 percent increase in operating income to reach 3.6 billion yuan.

Citi China's performance in 2008 reflected the resilience and continued growth of China's economy, coupled with Citi China's own strengths and ability to deliver superior service to its clients, the bank said.

"Our 2008 financial results reflect the fact that Citi's business in China is in a very strong and stable position," said Chairman Andrew Au. "China remains one of Citi's highest priority markets, we remain deeply committed to helping our customers in China succeed, and we are excited about opportunities for growth in 2009, as we look to continue to support China's sustained economic success."

In 2008, Citi China opened six new customer outlets in Beijing, Shanghai and Dalian. It has 26 such outlets in China now.

Earlier, the British Standard Chartered Bank, one of Citi China's major rivals, said it generated a 27 percent rise in operating income to $632 million on the Chinese mainland last year.

买到水货手机很正常，最悲惨的是买到了翻新机和山寨机，JS无所不及。前段时间去修手机，被黑了一块电池。瞻仰了木鱼同学的水货手机日志，这里完善一下如何验证IMEI的步骤。

手机的IMEI码的作用就是类似身份证号码。机身和机内各有相同的IMEI码来相互印证。

那么如何得到这个号码？在键盘上输入*#06# 可以得到15位的IMEI。

   怀念一把，2007年秋

三月，和Centraliens，以及Paris Télécom的帅哥美女@研究生食堂的Pizza店聚餐。

Today i met one old friend RJ who works in Supor IT team. He just sent my wishes  to my tutor Peter, a kind hearted french old man.That reminded me of my last summer intern in Ecculy, the quiet town 10 miles away from Lyon and my leisure time in France. So  I made a copy of his reply in english as below.

Pierre,Nicolas, Jean-Luc,etc vous me manquez.

Dear R,
.
Thank's a lot for your mail. It has moved me. Please, could you say to Lichen that I was rightly thinking to him since yesterday.
I hope I can have a trip in Hangzhou via Shanghai and see both of you, but I'm not sure. No date have been defined at the moment.
.
I hope everything is OK for you.
Thank's a new time for your mail.
.
Kind regards.
Pierre
