 You
may have seen the film National Treasure, in which Nicolas Cage has to
unlock a multi-layered puzzle to find a vast treasure. China is like
that for many investors - a virtually limitless treasure chest with an
enormous number of investment opportunities, if only you can find
the darned key. It’s certainly worth the effort. Within China, one
will find many doors and boxes guarding different fortunes for manufacturers
seeking low cost production, traders sourcing inexpensive products, companies
with unique products they want to sell to the 100+ million consumers with
relatively high disposable income, and pure investors who want to play
the real property market or invest in non-performing loans or China “B”
shares. Finding the correct keys to access China’s treasures is no easy
task. The good news is that Hong Kong is not only the gateway to China,
it holds the golden key to China’s many treasure chests. - The

 China’s
Emerging Venture Capital Opportunities - Without
question, China has quickly become the new economic growth frontier.
Pursuing investment opportunities in China have become far easier as a
result of recent changes in China’s law. Until just three years ago,
China did not have an enabling law for the formation and availability of
venture capital funds. Without such a law, substantial capital from
China's private sector could not be effectively channeled into development
of a high-tech sector for venture funding. Since the early 1990s, Chinese
government leaders have witnessed and admired the growth of the technology
sector and the ensuing benefits to the United States’ economy. They
have attributed such growth, among other factors, to the presence of an
active venture capital community in the US and other western countries.
They have openly made known their desire to see the success of the western
venture capital process replicated in China and have taken initiatives
and adopted policies over the recent years to achieve this ambition. |

 Where
is Discovery Bay (Hong Kong) and why is it a unique place to live?
- Hong Kong is such a great place to live because it is so unique in so
many different ways. Within 10 minutes radius you can be living amongst
high rise buildings and trendy restaurants or by the beach in lovely house.
Discovery Bay is only a short 30 minute ferry ride away from Hong Kong
Island, we are situated on the same island as the airport – Lantau Island.
I truly believe we have the best of both worlds, we have the luxury of
a holiday destination where the only mode of private transport is golf
carts and bicycles. The area is also known as delivery bay by many people
as the population of DB is generally full of children and their dogs. This
is such a unique place to live where everything is within walking distance
which makes access to anything easy. We have many mountains that are definitely
worth hiking and a very close nit community where most people know each
other! Each area has it’s own community, whether you live on a boat at
the Marina or in a townhouse on the golf course you feel part of a community
within a community. |

 Secrets
To Surviving In China Learning What It Takes To Make It In China
- Beijing has many foreign firms and major corporations such as IBM, Nokia,
Motorola, and others. What most people do not know is that many offices
and operations here in Beijing are only representative offices, with the
some exception. These are small offices that only employ a small number
of employees, mostly Chinese. The issue of communication is critical here.
Communication barriers in China will destroy any potential you may have
for success if you're not careful. I've seen communication failures ruin
business deals while making major corporations look bad. Communication
can be a problem if you are trying to negotiate a contract with the Chinese.
Any holes in your contract, or ambiguous language can be left to the interpretation
of your employer. This can mean that you can be expected to perform extra
duties or work additional hours not within your job description. Do research
on the Internet about contracts, as it can make or break your China experience!
If possible avoid using a Chinese law firm for contractual issues. I have
two law degrees and have seen many Chinese law firms and I am not impressed. |

 Investing
In China: The 21 Century Powerhouse - Investing in China
- Most Americans are provincial. If they travel anywhere, it's likely to
be to Western Europe; the Orient (forget about Africa and South America)
is pretty much Terra Incognita. The distinctions between the different
countries and cultures in the Orient -which are as least as great as those
in Europe - escape most of them. It's dangerous making broad generalizations
about millions of people, including Americans, but the reason ethnic jokes
are so funny is that while they generalize and exaggerate, they also crystallize
the essence of various cultures. The two dominant countries in the Orient
are China and Japan, and their cultural differences are as distinct as
those of the Swedes and the Sicilians. In a nutshell, Chinese culture is
notably more lenient, more tolerant, more anarchistic, rebellious, creative,
and individualistic; the Japanese are stricter, by-the book, group-oriented,
organized, and obedient. The differences are illustrated crisply in martial
arts, something I have personal familiarity with, but they extend across
into everything. |

 Roving
Capitalist Shares His Secrets of Uncovering Gold Mines
- Emerging market run-ups are being fueled by the trillions of dollars
trying to find a temporary home. When that home starts growing mold, the
trillions will pack up and head back to civilization (provided capital
controls don’t stop them at the border). We have a long list of solid companies
with solid management and sound business models that we are watching while
we wait for the right opportunity to buy. If we recommend something along
the way, it’s because a particular company or security satisfies our comfort
level. But right now so few do that we are buying gold and real estate
and husbanding cash for the big opportunity. Remember that the key to real
success is to be bold when others are timid and timid when others are bold.
Today, as we raise our field glasses to survey the investment and speculative
battlefield, our helmets are pulled down low and our knees are trembling.
We’re not just timid but downright cowardly. Our only boast is that we
have the courage to admit it. |

 Living
Overseas: Before You Jump - Thinking About What You Need To Know Before
Moving Abroad - Much of the above would have
been helpful for me to know before I moved with my family to Hong Kong.
Of course, if your new home is a place much frequented by expatriates,
as Hong Kong is, chances are that someone from the American Chamber of
Commerce has already written a book for newbys just like you. These hands-on
guides are invaluable: they provide tips on everything from grocery shopping
to how to get a driver’s license. Tips on schools and how to hire a maid.
Where to get tennis lessons and where to buy a carpet. How to bargain in
the markets with the Chinese. Most Americans end up overseas for
business, and little in their domestic working life will have prepared
them for what they’ll find. Certainly that was the case with me; I’d been
in the Peace Corps in North Africa, but aside from that my world experience
was restricted to tourist trips to Europe. So I had no real knowledge of
what a regional job in Hong Kong might be like, or of the business practices
I’d discover. Before he left, the man I followed into my post took
me on a two-week trip through Asia to help me find that out. |
