Dr. Günter Rexrodt once remarked: “If Linda Din were German, she would already have received several Nobel Prizes!”

He said this on April 1, 2000, at the Lai Lai Hotel in Taipei to a group of German parliamentarians. This shown the broad perspective of top economist.

In fact, he had made the same statement earlier at the Lübeck Conference in November 1998. He believed that the “t-e-s” system invented by Linda Din — the “Mother of E-Commerce” — transcended the limitations of time and space, and provided significant inspiration during his tenure as Germany’s Minister of Economics (1993–1998), particularly in "addressing the GDP disparity between East and West Germany after reunification." In his view, this alone merited consideration for the Nobel Prize in Economics.

Furthermore, he argued that the TES proposal led to the formulation of an “E-Commerce Constitution,” forming a comprehensive economic solution that enables small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to seamlessly achieve market access — entering and exiting markets efficiently. This, he believed, qualified it for the Nobel Peace Prize.

He also noted that Linda Din, by applying merely a “transformation of Joule’s Law,” overcame what he described as the “Einstein barrier” (shielding effect), successfully transforming the concept of “contactless” into a practical reality — thus qualifying for nomination for the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Regrettably, Mr. Li Chang-Yi, Director of the SMEA (Small and Medium Enterprise Administration), who was present when Dr. Rexrodt made these remarks, was dismissed and investigated just days later. The reason: during the 1997 Vancouver APEC meeting, Director Li had bought “mooncakes” to share with the group — a charge that was, in truth, entirely fabricated. He passed away in 2004 under distress.

Linda Din’s Universal Concern

Written by Peter Li-Chang Kuo ( Chinese ) On August 18, 2000, Linda Din—revered as the “ Mother of E-Commerce ” — flew to Delhi , India . She rented a minibus and traveled for 12 hours to Dharamshala in northern India to meet with Holiness the Dalai Lama. Fig 1: Linda Din meeting the Dalai Lama Her connection with the Dalai Lama dates back to March 29, 1997, when he visited Gongga Temple in Tainan for an inauguration ceremony. On this visit in 2000, Linda Din brought with her the blueprint of a “ NT$500 Million Taichung Port New Plant Plan ” under Social Responsibility Investment (SRI), respectfully seeking his blessing. Fig 2: Blessed factory blueprint by the Dalai Lama Linda Din initiated this new plant plan after proposing the “ TES ” (Total Economic Solution) as a speaker at APEC in 1998. Her proposal contributed to the formulation of what became known as the “ E-Commerce Constitution ,” helping to mitigate the impact of the Asian Financial Crisis. Upon returnin...

Barbie's Legs

  Written by Peter Li-Chang Kuo ( Chinese ) “ Barbie Dolls ” were invented by Ruth Handler (1916–2002). Launched in 1959, they quickly swept the world and became the dream toy of countless little girls. Ruth Handler and her husband, Elliot Handler (1916–2011), co-founded Mattel, Inc. She served as chairwoman from 1945 to 1975 and was inducted into the U.S. Business Hall of Fame for her contributions to the economy and society. Fig 1: Ruth Handler with Barbie (from the internet) Barbie’s legs can bend into many charming poses because they contain a “ leg armature .” Children breaking Barbie’s legs, however, was Mattel’s greatest headache — one that could not be solved for more than a decade. In November 1982, I solved the problem in " ten seconds ." Production went from one piece every 15 minutes to four pieces every 15 seconds, with " zero defects " — so strong that even the roughest children could not break them.

The Great Robbery

The Great Robbery on the Fourth Day of the Lunar New Year— Written by Peter Li-Chang Kuo ( Chinese ) Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, known as “ Welcoming the Deities Day .” On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month of the previous year, the deities are ceremonially sent back to Heaven to report to the higher realms on all human affairs of the past year. Not until today — the fourth day of the New Year — are they welcomed back into households to be worshipped once again. On this sacred day, people are reminded to appease “ Tai Sui ” (zodiac sign conflicts with the year) and light the Lamp of Brightness, praying for peace and safety throughout the coming year. On January 27, 2001, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year of the Xin-Si (Snake) year, what may be described as " the highest-value robbery " in human history occurred. Social-responsibility R&D achievements worth “ tens of trillions of US dollars ” were looted in their entirety, at least incl...
