China Plan
Dear Eric, Tony's concern is valid.
However, I would think China is a big market deserve to explore.
The plan is simple:
Hire me to represent your company to attend / exhibit in the trade shows to find the distributors who will have the channel.
To search the Internet to find the companies and call them to make appointment.
To visit those companies who may have an interest with our companies.
The purpose of these calls is to understand the market demand and to make it clear of the next steps.
This is something need to be done by a full time within at least a six months period of time.
Once we identify the market and the procedures, we will have a valid plan.
The cost is a six month salary (I am asking for a US$3000.00 / month). The potential is limitless. Kind Regards,Oliver
Note:Due to the excessive spam, my main email account has been disabled. To many of my potential clients, you need to use the following method to get hold of me. Please go to http://oliverhua.blogspot.com to see the email account if you want to respond this email, thank you. Otherwise, I may not receive your email. Or you can leave your message on that blog too. I apologize for the inconvenience, we are in the fast changing technology world so we need to learn more in order to adapt ourself into such changes. I hope I can start to work with your good company to develop the Chinese market soon. Thank you very much.
Hua,Please see the below response from Tony…We are currently concentrating on the America’s, but would possibly entertain doing business off shore if it was easier.
Can you provide us a marketing plan if you were to head up the International Distribution Activities for HealthFrontier? Regards,Eric
Eric, XXXX in Taiwan has already been working with us over the past 3 years.
Let's concentrate on getting the US business going first. Working with off shore business is NOT easy. We had some difficulties with this activity before. -Tony.

Parents file lawsuit in China against dairy firm
BEIJING (AP) — The parents of a baby allegedly sickened by tainted infant formula are suing the dairy at the heart of China's contaminated milk scandal, state media reported, as 15 more companies were accused Wednesday of producing spiked products.
From the time of birth, the 1-year-old in central China's Henan province was fed infant formula made by Sanlu Group Co., according to a report by Caijing, a leading Chinese business magazine.
The report says the case is believed to be the first civil lawsuit filed in response to the melamine contamination of liquid milk, yogurt and other products made with milk. Four infants have died and some 54,000 have become ill after drinking the contaminated formula, which has been linked to kidney stones.
One of the child's parents, surnamed Sun, filed a lawsuit in a court in Zhenping county seeking $22,000 in compensation from Sanlu for medical, travel and other expenses incurred after the child developed kidney stones, the magazine said in a recent report. The report did not give the full name of the child or parents.
China's government, meanwhile, named 15 more Chinese dairy companies for producing products contaminated with melamine after a new series of tests. The contaminated samples were mostly milk powder products for adults.
FIND MORE STORIES IN: China | New Zealand | Henan | Sun | Sanlu Group Co | Shijiazhuang | Fonterra | Caijing
Thirty-one samples of Chinese milk powder provided by 20 companies were found tainted with melamine after new testing, according to data seen Wednesday on China's food safety administration's website. It was a national holiday in China and product safety officials could not be reached for comment.
More than 13,000 children have been hospitalized and 27 people arrested in connection with the contamination. The scandal was worsened by an apparent cover-up by companies involved and the ignoring by safety officials of tips and warnings from parents and doctors. Top Sanlu executives and government officials in the northern city of Shijiazhuang, where the company is based, have been forced to resign.
Melamine, which is high in nitrogen, is used to make plastics and fertilizers and experts say some amount of the chemical may be transferred from the environment during food processing.
But in China's case, suppliers trying to boost output are believed to have diluted their milk, adding melamine because its nitrogen content can fool tests aimed at verifying protein content.
Levels of melamine discovered in batches tested varied widely, from as much as 6,196 milligrams per kilogram to as little 1.3 milligrams per kilogram. Chinese health officials have said no harm comes from consuming less than 0.63 milligrams per kilogram.
In the most recent tests, nine of the batches containing melamine were produced by the company at the center of the scandal, Sanlu, a 43% stake of which is owned by New Zealand dairy cooperative Fonterra. No date for the testing was given.

Ferrero Rocher won a copyright lawsuit in China
Ferrero Rocher won a copyright lawsuit in China

Filed under: Business, Chocolate, Asia, Candy
There is a huge piracy problem in China. Lots of western companies find that they can't sell their product in China because there is already a Chinese clone of the product. This was a big problem for Ferrero Rocher, that is until recently.
The chocolate maker just won a long-fought lawsuit in China's Supreme Court against a Chinese company that copied Ferrero Rocher's famous, gold wrapped pralines. Montresor, the Chinese chocolate maker that was copying Ferrero Rocher, was ordered not only to stop but also to pay a token fine of €50,000.
A lot of people see this as welcome news. It could mean that China may be ready to adopt more fair marketing practices. I am all for local competition to global brands, but I think a copy cat company shouldn't be allowed to just piggy back on a famous product. The name brand put a lot of work into the brand that they've built. Like it or hate it, I think a company should profit on its own merits. Good luck, Ferrero Rocher.

The Analysis of Distribution Channel in China Mobile IndustryAs is known to all, the modern society is witnessing an accelerating number of people emb
The Analysis of Distribution Channel in China Mobile IndustryAs is known to all, the modern society is witnessing an accelerating number of people embracing mobile phones. According to the latest statistics revealed, about 60% of the world’s population own mobile phones and the percentage is increasing on a day-by-day basis (Jun, 2006, p.12). Different people adore mobile phones out of their respectively distinct reasons. However, the major trend of a flourishing mobile phone market is sound and immediate.Many mobile manufacturers provide mobile phones with different features. Hence, it is a bit tiresome and fuzzy to select a particular type of mobile phone that has the latest technology.
On the other hand, the 21st century is facing, on a day-to-day basis, the acceleration of market share competition and the over segmentation of the target market. Under this macroscopic circumstance, commodities and services are increasingly homogeneous, which leaves little room for the further innovation initiatives of most companies. At present, taking into consideration the increasingly homogeneous functions, appearances, prices, and even advertisements of cell phones, there is dim hope that the advantages of cell phones themselves alone can form competitive advantages or edges.
Moreover, D.E Schulze, the initiator of integrated marketing communications theory, has remarked that only by means of "channel" and "communication" can differentiated competitive advantages be gained after the 1990s.
As a matter of fact, the distribution mode of channel-centered differentiated integration has caught due attention in the present Chinese distribution industry. Upon a closer analysis, the loss or gain in the market competition ultimately depends on the speed of distribution, which means commodities and services must be delivered to customers as soon as possible.
Furthermore, the enhancement of the speed and efficiency of distribution channels calls for a scientific and highly-efficient management of distribution channels. It is foreseeable that the innovation of distribution channels and distribution modes will constitute an important strategic advantage in the 21st century cell phone agency.
It is worth noticing that the agents’ development, present situation and developing trend have to be made an in-depth analysis on the existing problems of the distribution channels of cell phone agents. Also, the feasible solutions in accordance with network marketing theories should be proposed, and eventually put forward practicable modes of distribution channels in light of the demand of customers, the establishment of order system, the selection of settlement system, and the new cell phone distribution channels established based on the system.
Researches have shown that network distribution channels can solve related problems in the cell phone distribution channels such as the complexity of channels, the unsatisfying speed of information transmission, high cost with low profit, and so on. As far as the distributors are concerned, their own distribution channels, instead of being abandoned, should be optimized by network channels. Therefore, it is the market's requirement as well as the agents' sincere wish that the designed distribution channel can serve as a reference for the cell phone distribution enterprises in China and the entire industry at large.

Chinese Consumer Electronics Distribution Channels
Chinese Consumer Electronics Distribution Channels
Navigating China’s Complex Distribution Systems
China’s enormous population and rapid economic growth has mesmerized many consumer-goods manufacturers. However, while market opportunities abound, the road ahead for foreign retailers is a bumpy one because of remnants from China’s socialist background. Its deeply embedded culture, economic conditions, fragmented markets, poor sales channel access, rigid government, and inadequate market conditions are making China a tough – but not impossible – nut to crack. The rules of the game have changed, and China’s economy is now more market-oriented. While the government may be aggressive in its attempts to achieve economic growth, companies are also doing their part, transforming processes and exploring new areas to improve the effectiveness of sales and distribution channels. However, for foreign companies to establish a larger footprint in China, it takes more than merely these efforts. This study navigates the complex Chinese distribution systems and provides an anatomy of the market environment and its evolution. It also unravels the shortcomings of the traditional distribution system, influencing factors, and new processes.

Goldman Sach's Thornton to retire to China
John Thornton, the joint-chief operating officer and president of Goldman Sachs, will retire on 1 July to become a professor at a university in China, the Wall Street bank announced last night.
John Thornton, the joint-chief operating officer and president of Goldman Sachs, will retire on 1 July to become a professor at a university in China, the Wall Street bank announced last night.
The unexpected departure of Mr Thornton, who was seen by many as heir apparent at the bank, helps clear the way for his co-chief operating officer John Thain to succeed Henry "Hank" Paulson as chief executive. Analysts last night said Mr Thornton's exit probably indicated that Mr Paulson, 56, had no plans to retire from his post in the near future.
Mr Thornton, 49, will teach at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and will continue to serve as a senior adviser to the bank. He joined Goldman Sachs in its' mergers and acquisitions department in 1980 and went on to make his name in London, where he helped establish Goldman Sachs as a force in the City.
Mr Thornton first hit the headlines when he helped defend ICI against the unwanted attention of Hanson in 1991. He also planned Goldmans' expansion in Asia in the 1990s.
Mr Thorntonwas named president and co-COO in 1999, the year Goldmans went public. He is the third-largest individual shareholder in the the bank, with about 3.1 million shares, worth about $220m (£140m). But his pay fell to $11.2m last year, down from $16.3m in 2001, reflecting a 20 per cent fall in investment banking revenues.
Analysts last night specutlated that the bear market could have influenced his decision to leave. Like other Wall Street banks, Goldmans has become increasingly dependent on trading revenues and Mr Thain is a former bond trader. Another possible successor for Mr Paulson is Lloyd Blankfein, the head of Goldmans' fixed income unit.
"Power goes where the money comes from and clearly the money comes from different pockets right now," Michael Vogelzang, the president of Boston Advisors, told Bloomberg News.

Wal-Mart Asia President: I hope to retire in China
I have told the US headquarters that I hoped to stay in China till my retirement," said Joe Hatfield, president of Wal-Mart Asia, who usually arrives at his office before 5 o'clock in the morning.
Hatfield was appointed the president and chief executive officer of Wal-Mart Asia: Wal-Mart Stores. Inc. in 1994, and spentnine years in South China's Shenzhen.
Wal-Mart entered China in 1996 and opened its first Supercenterand Sam's Club in Shenzhen, China. It has since then opened thirty-one stores in fifteen cities in China, including Wal-Mart Supercenter, Sam's Club and Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, and has approximately 16,000 local employees.
On the walls of the office building of Wal-Mart Asia, a six-floor reconstructed workshop, there are some bulletins including tallies of how much paper people saved and recommending merchandises by staffs.
Instead of the huge capital and international reputation, he attributed Wal-Mart's success in China to his excellent 16,000 associates.
"What Wal-Mart basically believes is that people are our real assets," said Hatfield, who believed that Wal-Mart China would grow to be a locally run company.
There is only a small group of expatriates in Wal-Mart China and 99.9 percent of staff are local people. All 31 Wal-Mart storesin China are directly operated by local associates, he said.
Facing international retailer giants, many Chinese local governments and retailers expressed their worries, which often resulted in some policy restrictions on market entrance of foreignretailers.
But the difficulties did not cut down Wal-Mart's expectations of China's market.
In 1996, the former president of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. David Grass said that China was the only country with a potential to duplicate Wal-Mart's miracle in the US.
Hatfield said that when they opened the first two supercenters in Shenzhen, everybody thought it would put off other business. But today they have nine stores in Shenzhen with two more to be opened up in the next year, but other Chinese stores are continuing to grow.
What is actually occurring is that the market is growing and customers are benefiting from better shopping experiences, he said.
"If I had told the Shenzhen government what would occur here, Iam not sure most people would have believed that," said he.
From the speed point, Wal-Mart's developing speed is not as fast as that in other countries, according to Hatfield.
"We have the core beliefs and operating strategy of American stores, but it is critically important to let Chinese customers understand those," said Hatfield, who pointed out the second important issue is gaining people to handle the goal.
"We should learn crawl, walk and eventually run," stressed Hatfield.
He also pointed that one key to success of a retailer was not just to have the money to open stores, but to develop a strong vender base.
We share our sales information with our venders through retail link, our on-going sales base, and we score them and tell them theexpectations of our customers, said he.
In order to ensure the safety of its commodities, Wal-Mart often sends specialists with professional background to visit the store's venders, especially daily items.
As a toy buyer, he witnessed the changes of countries as toy providers in Asia in past decades, from Japan to the Republic of Korea to Thailand to Taiwan, and eventually to the Chinese mainland.
"The only standard is the efficiency. What we are searching foris the place where can provide great value to our customers," saidJoe.
In 2002 Wal-Mart global sales reached 244.5 billion and topped the Fortune Global 500 for two consecutive years. It has set up purchasing offices in 25 countries and holds about 150 buying meetings every year across the world.
Wal-Mart's global procurement unit was relocated in Shenzhen in2002 and set up its branch office in Shanghai in 2003.
Now Wal-Mart has over 2,000 Chinese venders which provide about15,000 kinds of commodities. About 97 percent of Wal-Mart merchandise sold in China are produced locally.
Committed to growing with China, Wal-Mart procured over 12 billion US dollars of merchandise directly and indirectly in Chinain 2002, covering six percent of the total sales of Wal-Mart, and expected to reach 15 billion US dollars in 2003.
"After retirement, I want to be a door greeter of Wal-Mart stores in Shenzhen," said Hatfield.
Hatfield was appointed the president and chief executive officer of Wal-Mart Asia: Wal-Mart Stores. Inc. in 1994, and spentnine years in South China's Shenzhen.
Wal-Mart entered China in 1996 and opened its first Supercenterand Sam's Club in Shenzhen, China. It has since then opened thirty-one stores in fifteen cities in China, including Wal-Mart Supercenter, Sam's Club and Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, and has approximately 16,000 local employees.
On the walls of the office building of Wal-Mart Asia, a six-floor reconstructed workshop, there are some bulletins including tallies of how much paper people saved and recommending merchandises by staffs.

Shanghai Threatened by Water Shortage
Shanghai Threatened by Water Shortage
The Chinese Ministry of Water Resources predicts that beginning from 2010, a serious water shortage will lie ahead of the country. By 2030, when the shortage peaks, the nation will have 40-50 billion cubic meters of water in short supply. What's more, Shanghai -- the biggest Chinese metropolis situated in the estuary of the Yangtze River, by the East China Sea -- has been added to the United Nations' list as one of the six cities predicted to experience severe drinking-water problems in this century. Shanghai Water Affairs Bureau has foreseen that during this summer, when the city uses up to 9.64 million cubic meters of water per day, there will be a possible daily water shortage of 1.5 million tons.
"Unlike north China, which is often afflicted with severe drought, what Shanghai lacks is quality water suitable for both drinking and industrial production," says 73-year-old Zhang Jiacheng, an expert of water affairs.
Although Shanghai abounds with water resources, its usable fresh water is very limited, with the total amount standing at 11.88 billion cubic meters, only 20 percent of the city's surface water. Shanghai's per capita water availability is 1,049 cubic meters, 40 percent of the country's average and 10 percent of the world's average.
"Pollution either occurs in the upper reaches of the Yangtze, or is caused by local plants," said Zhang Jiayi, director of Shanghai Water Affairs Bureau.
The Huangpu River, a tributary of the Yangtze flowing through Shanghai, has supplied 80 percent of drinkable water for the local residents. Nonetheless, in recent years, the river has been seriously defiled by industrial wastes, pointed out Zhang Jiatuan, a senior engineer of the Ministry of Water Resources.
Furthermore, contamination in the neighboring Taihu Lake remains a direct menace to the Huangpu River. Due to discharge of domestic and industrial sewage, high content of phosphorus in the lake has led to the occurrence of potentially toxic blue-green alga over large areas, bringing severe drinking-water problems to Wuxi City at the lakeside. According to Zhang Jiatuan, as a result, in the upper reaches of the Huangpu, dense aquatic plants have been seen floating on the water surface several times since the middle of June. On severe occasions, they covered up almost one-third of the river.
Experts from the Ministry of Water Resources pointed out that along with sharp population growth and rapid economic development, the imbalance between supply and demand of water has become a bottleneck in the nation's industrial and agricultural production and urban development. A scarcity of drinking water in Shanghai will greatly hinder its developing into an international metropolis.
However, most local residents have not yet come to realize the seriousness of the situation. Many people are in the habit of keeping the tap running while brushing teeth and washing up. Old-fashioned toilet tank, with 13 liters of water released in each flush, is still used in many households. At car-washers, tapped water is used to wash vehicles with very low charges. In fact, besides water contamination, wasteful consumption of clean water is also to blame for the water shortage.
"Few water-saving devices are used in Shanghai households," says Yu Longxiang, a water-saving expert. "According to statistics, each of the city's nearly 900,000 old flush toilets leaks 0.5-1 liters of water on average per day, letting millions of tons of clean water flow away for nothing each year!"
Meanwhile, there are quite a few loopholes in the city's management of water resources.
The water subsidy policy originating in the old planned economy era has not yet been completely abandoned today, though reforms have been carried out in the tap water industry. Exploiting this advantage, some street restaurants and car washers use subsidized water to do business. To wash a car, which charges from five to 10 yuan (US$0.625-1.25), 0.2 ton of water is needed, equal to the amount a resident's daily use in the summer, but the cost is only 32 cents. Cheap water charges have encouraged people to use water lavishly.
In a city like Shanghai, which has abundant rainfall throughout the year, rain water could have been collected and used to irrigate fields, wash down vehicles, flush toilets, fight fire, and so on, to reduce the reliance on rivers. However, so far the city is not prepared for rain water collection.
After making an inspection tour to Shanghai, 19 members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering, including 81-year-old Qian Zhengying, suggested the city to promote water-saving devices, while tapping new water sources and reducing water pollution to the greatest extent.
According to Zhang Jiayi, the city is carrying out a program to remake old water closets used in as many as 600,000 households, aiming at saving an estimated 9.84 million cubic meters of water a year.
"A direct effect of economization on water is to reduce the release of waste water," says Yu Longxiang. "Consequently, the city's burden of sewage treatment will be lessened. This is an act to serve two purposes at the same time."
In terms of tapping new water sources, Gu Yuliang, chief engineer of Shanghai Municipal Raw Water Co Ltd, suggested to establish a water source preservation zone at the mouth of the Yangtze River. "The water flow of the Yangtze reaches 0.93 trillion cubic meters in Shanghai and its environs. Along with harnessing the Yangtze, constructions of mid-stream and riverside reservoirs should also be considered," Gu said.
Currently, Shanghai's waterworks take water mostly from the Huangpu River. Qian Zhengying proposed to shift water intakes from the Huangpu to the Yangtze, which has better-quality water. In addition, related institutions must pay enough attention to preventing salt water from intruding into the Yangtze mouth area, Qian warned.
Currently, the city is considering different ways to tackle the water shortage crisis, including desalination of sea water, full exploitation of rain water, and rational use of groundwater resources, according to Zhang Yijia.
