Excerpts Chinese Affairs
One of my clients' stories that made me smile more, thinking about improvisation, and poor knowledge of China, about an entrepreneur Emilian invited to China with the proposed purchase of its own machine. The businessman arrived in Shenzhen, and is invited to discuss a popular and elegant restaurant.
During the dinner are being developed details of the contract in that case, however, the Chinese are careful not to sign (but it would be the same). At the end of dinner, the restaurant bill is presented to the entrepreneur: almost 4,000 euros for a dinner for 5 people.
The entrepreneur pays a little surprised the cost, but does not know anything about China. Credit card and go. That restaurant does not charge more than 15/20 euros per person for dinner. Its Chinese partners had organized a combine with the restaurant. A few thousand Euros in your pocket easily.
The contractor is yet to be convinced to do the deal and returned to Italy, but his audience does not become more alive. He turns to his business association that has an agreement with our Consultancy.
we act immediately, but the first description we understand that this is a scam to Toto. Obviously, the Chinese company does not exist, has no business license, has no office. And who knows what other potential sellers has attracted into their trap ..
