Brits Get Rich In China: Part 6 2007-10-24 05:59:32 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOpkFVjnh_A Vance - On site at the factory, Vance has just received a warm welcome from the entire village (who depend on his business). Vance, while a bit rough around the edges, has literally developed an entire economy within the village.. and through this part, Vance shows a bit of apathy and gives his supplier another shot. Tony - Not knowing the fact that the factory is complete until he arrives for the opening ceremony (wow.. if I had my whole life wrapped up into the completion of the biggest cushion factory in China… I would have lived on site).. Ms. Dai pulled off the project, and the largest cushion factory in China is officially opened, staffed up, and on the way to producing 6 million cushions. (now he just needs orders). Peter - Still no word from Cecil, and rather than work on alternatives, he is having a drink and watching an old war film… Cecil - Sitting in a KTV with a former Army officer in Guangdong, and has cut what ...

NY Times Study: Americans Are “Open”to “Chinese” Goods 2007-10-23 15:57:55 for the last few months, there have been few China related topics discussed more than the 2007 lead tainted toys, and more generally, product safety. Fingers have been pointed, stones thrown, consumer rights in high gear, and Lou Dobbs has gained traction. But thorough all this, many are wondering what the real impact will be. Will “Made in China” suffer, what will the impacts at the checkout counter be, and what does it all mean for those brands/ people in China who are manufacturing for export. Well.. according to a NYT poll recently, it looks like cooler heads are prevailing (on the whole), and that the recent recalls have not damaged the “Made in China” brand - despite the efforts of some. In fact, according to their study (full results can be downloaded here) that while a significant portion of the resppndants did think products made in China were more unsafe than those made in other areas 55 percent, said the recent wave of recalls just created a perceptio ...

LSG Sky Chefs Finds Culinary Gold in China 2007-10-23 08:56:30 When I was a kid, going to the airport was about a cool as it got. I would glue myself to the window so that I could watch planes take off, landing, and luggage being loaded… and while I did know early one it was better to eat before going to the airport than to risk the food on the plane, one of the coolest pieces of equipment was the food truck. For those of you may have taken the time recently to notice, you’ll notice that LSG Sky Chefs has become one of the most consistent logos found in the food industry, and so I was happy to see the following article entitled LSG Sky Chefs expands in China with Partnerships in Kunming and Lanzhou. With China’s air traffic increasing at a torrid pace, I guess it should come as no surprise that LSG would see China as a potential, if not massive market… and lord knows airline food here needs help as well. Where I hope this investment gets interesting though is that Kunming and Lanzhou have some of the most flavorful food ...

Where Your Toys are Made. 2007-10-23 08:56:29 Just stumbled on a interesting collection of pictures on maZm (via China Digital Times) of men and women working in a toy painting factory. In total, there are 25 shots (I have a couple here). As I said before, the average consumer is too disconnected from this process, and I hope readers will pass this around. There are no stone face killers in these pictures, just some shots of your average Mr. and Ms. Zhou (pronounced Joe) hard at work. Read Original Post Here ...

Brits Get Rich In China: Part 5 2007-10-23 08:56:28 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULyC6USbLaQ Vance - Back to the dinner…. where bugs, donkey penis, and a host of other special dishes are served up for Vance. Despite taunts from his son.. he takes a pass Peter - Cecil’s sales campaign is in high gear, and Peter has gone from CEO to token foreigner in the meeting. The “negotiations” are in full force, but Peter exists the room (Note: If you are the token foreigner in a negotiation, you should not leave the room). Credit to Peter is that he fully recognizes this relationship is a complete gamble. He has no contract between them, and his solicitor has only been able to verify that Cecil was not involved (i.e. convicted) of anything illegal. Tony - back in his hotel room, Tony is crunching numbers and dodging calls from the resident massage girls. His showroom is complete, and to make sure he can close sales, he needs to hire his staff. Hiring in China is always an adventure, and Tony is taking a good approa ...

Wal Mart is Scared, Danone Sells Out, There is a Big Meeting in Beijing, Global Business Dynamics 2007-10-23 08:56:28 Danone Sells Stake of Shanghai Bright While still in the middle of perhaps China’s talked about implosion, Danone has exited from its stake in Shanghai Bright. Much like the Wahaha investment, Danone had a position in Bright’s largest competitor Inner Mongolia based Mengniu. You can read the full details IHT and the Dairy Reporter article. Perhaps Danone has come to understand that while investing in firms that already have captured a large portion of the market, investing in the top 2 is not the best idea. Especially when you are trying to explain why a new product concept is not such a good idea… The Changing Dynamics of the Global Business Cycle The world is changing in many ways.. and fast. At Thunderbird, I learned about the history of globalization from a number of different angles, the role of trade, politics, and human movements.. and I found it all fascinating (ok.. International Econ was a bit of a snore). However, when reading the popular press and when ...

CEA Challenges Lou Dobbs to a Duel 2007-10-23 08:56:27 Why Lou Dobbs Scares Me More Than Chinese Toothpaste was a post I wrote early on in the days of “Made In China”. My position was that while there were certainly problems in the supply chain, Lou Dobbs (and other like him) were actually far worse because of their predatory reporting. Far from being balanced, Lou Dobbs always feels the need to remind viewers that China is a communist country, and does little himself to bring on balanced panels or perspective. Well… it appears that someone else (more powerful than I) has also grown tired of Lou and his “communist China” angle. According to a press release dated October 17, Gary Shapiro (CEO of the Consumer Electornics Association) has: issued a direct challenge to Dobbs to present his viewers with a balanced view of international trade. “I am prepared to debate Lou Dobbs live on his CNN show,” Shapiro said. “His anti-trade comments on his cable show and his refusal to grant equal time to opposing vi ...

Why Vietnam is Not the Next China. Logistics 2007-10-23 08:56:26 There has been a lot of talk lately about where people will go should the China bubble burst, where to go when suppliers in China cannot be trusted, and more importantly where to go when congress slaps punitive tariffs on China… Well.. it isn’t Vietnam. And here is why. When this conversation occurs, it is typically started with”what if” and ususally will involve India and Vietnam in some manner. There are articles about Vietnam’s progress, blog posts about its future, and more talk. The problem is, like India, it is missing the infrastructure…. specifically its logistics infrastructure. When speaking about China’s economic miracle, it is clear that without modern ports that could cycle millions of TEUs, the trucks that were capable of handling the containers, the roads for the trucks to drive on, etc… China’s economic position in today’s world would have been much different… and with a background in logistics, one ...

Youtube Blocked.. Ahhhh Crap!!! 2007-10-23 08:56:25 I really cannot tell you how much this irritates me. for those of you inside the GFW, I suggest using the Foxy Proxy plugin for Firefox. It got me through the Flikr, typepad, and blogger blockages… and it will get me through this one. For more, stayed tune to Shanghaiist. They will surely stay on top of it. Update 1: Shanghaiist has put together a great post summarizing what has happened, what bloggers besides myself are saying, and a few work arounds. Read Original Post Here ... Youtube

Brits Get Rich in China: Part 4 2007-10-23 08:56:24 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdkbzB6TYdE “he believes holds the key to his fortune in China…” That is the end of the sentence started in Part 3 that is finished in Part 4. so.. the entire statement “Peter has found a man he believes holds the key to his fortune in China..”… and boy oh boy does the next scene say it all (Run Peter RUN!!) .. this man (Cecil Pih) is going to steal your money.. and your product According to Cecil.. “Doing business in China is like the wild wild west… except they know how to shot better than the cowboys” (By the way, Cecil moved into the lead on best quotes with that).. Cut to Peter and Cecil describing their partnership and their strategy… starting with Shanghai on the whiteboard, and then moving from there through his “connections, clout, cash, and cultural understanding” To close the deals .. you need wining, dining, and wenching (I am guessing he means going to KTV and saunas?) ...

Chinese Ladies are LOADED, 8 Tips for China Success, Globalization is ???, and Who is Us? 2007-10-23 08:56:21 China Has 106 Billionaires, Up From 15 Last Year and Yang Huiyan, a real estate scion, tops Forbes list of richest in China As if you needed any more proof that China is awash in money.. What I found interesting was that 4 of top 10 were in real estate, #1 and #2 are both females (Mao was wrong… women hold up more than half the sky), and China is now #2 behind the US for overall number of billionaires. 10 survival tips for Foreign expats who work in China Trying to sum up how to succeed in China (in 100 words or less) gets harder with each day. There are many different ways to define success, and Romain gives us a list of 10 things he thinks as being key to that. For me, I would add the following: China is not a guaranteed anything. There may be 1.3 billion people… and it may offer low costs… but with reward comes risk. If you are not prepared to fight for it, you don’t deserve it. China is not a bubble. It is a bubble bath. Once you have found a “clea ...
