Running an exhibition is indeed a good opportunity for us to listen to opinions from the public, no matter if they are potential customers or not. I could never imagine I would have the chance to learn a good lesson from an experienced business consultant about the tricks to China market.

After around a 2-hour discussion and reading on her blog (you have to be patient in front of experienced people who are willing to offer help), an inspiration came up to my mind that it is not exactly about the tricks to China market, but the re-thoughts of the key values of our IT-related business: solution to address our customers’ concerns.

While agreeing to Circle’s points of view that the appreciation of RMB does annoy Chinese companies, mentality can hardly be changed. For example, it is far from possible to persuade most of the Chinese exporters to post their products online, using e-Commerce bundled with ERP or cost-effective order taking and inventory tools like GearApp, and let them be sold bit by bit. Having chats with some of these businesses proves that my concept is right. They are only looking for buyers from different countries and that this is exactly what the HKTDC is doing (it is not difficult to find a lot of buyer and seller areas), just as what HKEX is helping Chinese companies to go public.
