It took a while before the publisher of Mark Schaub, one of our speakers at Chinabiz Speakers Ltd, took his successful book to Amazon, so it was not easy available for many potential readers. Publishers have to dive Amazon a discount of 30 percent and that does not make them happy, but in the end is this online quasi-monopolist hard to avoid if you want to sell books.
I have praised his China: The Art of Law
already enough. Stern warnings like Mark Schaub gives about doing business in China are very much needed in a time when foreign investors keep on running into this country, and often into problems that could have been avoided.Yesterday I helped him to move into his new and beautiful located house in the French Concession in Shanghai. No, I'm not developing a new line of business, but Mark is also a good friend, so do not call me if you have to move too.
His Spanish style house in a quiet compound in the middle of the old city is also on our books as an informal meeting place for meetings for five to fifteen people, organized by through our Speakers Bureau. Together with Mark and possibly other speakers it creates a much nicer atmosphere for informal discussions than even the best hotels in town can create. More details are here.
