   Γειά σου Kevin,

   From your post, I think your idea is to be some kind of bridge/consultant for Chinese entrepreneurs and businesses in various cities who are interested in doing business/investment into foreign markets (EU, UK, US,) etc. is that right>?
   That has a lot of merit, if your focus is on 2nd-tier cities. This is already well established in Shanghai and Beijing - but not elsewhere. Many Chinese are looking to expand OUT of China, but just don’t know how to best do that.

   Regards,

   Kevin - as an Englishman living in China for the past 5 years, I am interested in your thought process. What I would like to understand more are the specifics of your idea - what is the main advantage of what you are planning? Who are you looking to sell the service to? Why should they seek this type of advice? If you can let me have some more info, it would be interesting to pursue as we have a consultancy business in the US, which is all about helping US companies succeed in Asia so could be a useful starting point.
   Let me have your thoughts and see how we can go from there.
   Thanks - David

   Clarification added 4 days ago:

   What is the nature of the company?

   The company is an business entity, which can be considered as a McKnsey & Company with an unique focus on serving Chinese government, i mean the county governments, city governments and etc.

   What are goals?

   The aim of the company should be dedicated to help the governments to do development for the local people and cities, which may include how to plan better, how bridge the governement and market, how operate the public projects in a market economy manner.

   Main business:
   - City branding. Each city needs an exceptional branding strategy as a product. (positioning, planning, proceeding, promotion)
   - Think Tank for governements. Act as an independent advisor for the government on macro perspective and micro perspective with international broad view.
   - Work as an investment bank to run some infrastructure projects
   - Government Governance consulting. (As an independent advisor, it’s more convenient than the officals who are involved in daily operations to say something and to do something - Yes, of course, need to obtain support from the government seniors.)
   - And etc.

   Where is this company based?

   If it’s possible to do this, I am thinking about put this company in Beijing or Shanghai. (Bridge finance, economy, trading, culture, human resources, and central government connections.)

   Business model?

   The business model can be presented in two ways.

   One is that we can position our as a consulting company as commercial advisory firms, and the clientele is different level of governments;
   The other one, we can also have some other indirect benefit from other business (however, dun go to “conflicts of interest” easily).

   Dear Kevin,

   I think it is a great idea. One obvious impediment to this project is government contacts and Guanxi. Having said that, it is not that difficult to overcome the problem so long as you partner with someone who’s the relative of the decision maker. Then pitch your case with a clear understanding of how much money will be transfered under the table.

   Most of the government contractors are relatives or close friends. This holds true for local, municipal based contracts. For SOE deals they usually go for the largest consultancies which sometimes create more problems than they solve but at least they have “face” whilst using the big names.

   I like your thinking. I’m in the process of moving to Chengdu (I’m Canadian and living in the U.S. right now), and I’ve had similar thoughts. I’d be happy to give you feedback when you have something new.

   Thanks for the kind reply.

   Not all of the Chinese officials are working for money, if the work can help them to achieve some great ideas, I believe that you can get government support as well….. Corruption appeared anywhere along with power, thy are twins; just focus on how to do something which can create values.

   Thanks.

   Hi All,

   I am very interested in participating in this opportunity. I currently live 50% in California and 50% in Tianjin. I am planning to move to China very soon for long term. I have spent many years in China for work, school, and family.

   As we learn more about what we want to achieve out of this with some structure, goals/objectives, and timelines, I would like to contribute my skills and relationships both in the US and China (government sectors) to serve the efforts of this initiative as I really believe it is really needed.

   I also have a close friend working on a number of real estate projects for his US firm in China and they continue to expand.

   What are the next steps? (B.T.W. I will be in Tianjin within the next two weeks if folks would like to meet)

   Best regards,

   -Raj

    Dear All,

    Thank you for your kind reply and some insightful input.

    As an initiation stage, actually, I am not wisdom enough to give a very comprehensive/detailed plan for your reference.

    Everything has a hard period at the very beginning, word-of-mouth is the best marketing strategy, which means that if we have a real expert/professional team and have done a successful job, then, some of the difficulties will disappear.

    Who can be the leader to do this?
    Who can be the member to do this?
    How to do it from nothing to something?
    ……

    If you only work for money, that will be quite difficult to partner with at the beginning, otherwise, you must have a long-term view of the future.

    Whatever, thank all of you once again. Let me know your thoughts and wait for more participators.

    Best regards,
    Kevin
