'Dà Lǎobǎn' (大老板), which means ‘big boss’ in Chinese, is the first in a series of business videos produced by New Concept Mandarin that resemble a TV drama program, in which four managers of a Chinese company compete among themselves for their boss’s job as General Manager. The 'Dà Lǎobǎn' (大老板) puts each of his Managers through a series of tests － knowing that only one will qualify and pass to his expectations.
