Liuzhou - Done Deal

Liuzhou

came in two nites back from shanghai. liuzhou is a small industrial city in guangxi. it is located two hours by expressway from guilin and share the same geographic topology. it has little hills surrounding the city and the liujiang (river) running a course round the city.

they having a saying here; liuzhou men are manly but liuzhou women are even more manly LOL. liuzhou women are tough and quick businessmen. my partner W started talking to a local businesswoman Y on a $10m deal on monday and i flew in to sign the deal on wednesday midnite. the deposit was transferred into our account the next morning. and W has never met Y till monday afternoon. the speed and agressiveness of Y surprises us. a matronly woman with children in their 20s, Y and her hubby control a business empire covering auto parts and property development. the hubby looks after the operation of the factory while Y is the strategic planner, deal closer and troubleshooter.

we celebrated the deal with a simple dinner for four with two small bottles of maotai, but of coz.
