The Market

A Contemporary Application


*“Yi” Principles of Wisdom*
	Simplicity – seek for the commons
	Variability – understand the difference
	Immutability – find the right partners

Whilst seeking for the commons is a long journey with your hands-on experience, here you may find some, but never all, variability. And we wish you may reach the Immutability of profit-making in China, by yourself and/or through your right partner(s).

Segmented Markets:

By the nature of your counterparts, you may come across a variety of originals and/or their cross-breeds, Chinese private enterprises, State-Owned enterprises, foreign invested enterprises, multi-nationals in China, and inevitably, government authorities (either central or regional).

Most of business entities are registered as limited companies, except for the cases of many sorts of government institutes. But not all business entities are in the legal status to contract directly with foreign companies. Import / Export Business Licenses are required for Chinese companies to clear the customs and to open foreign exchange bank accounts. Do check not only the counterparts' Business License as well as its Import / Export Business License. Import / Export Business Licenses are more widely held by companies, and even without one, the most favoured Chinese company may still be in connection with another Chinese trading company with such a license to fulfill the deal.

Many of government institutes, central or regional, are directly involved with business, mostly through their parallel business arms, i.e., a registered limited company, which are usually fully government owned.

The variety of the business natures of Chinese counterparts will largely be reflected by their Decision Making processes and Management system and levels, which are often found puzzling or even frustrating by foreign parties. Hence enquirying and understanding through the discussions with your Chinese counterparts for finding out the background and determining efficient steps forward are useful.

In general, private enterprises and foreign invested enterprises are more business oriented, and decision making processes are much more efficient, although there is often a big gap in between the two categories in terms of management systems and skills. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile to understand the existence of the others.
