Making a Difference in Other People’s Lives

Dear Global Business Enthusiast,

Michael Michelini (@michelini) here. You’re getting this email because you requested my periodic thoughts on international business from Hong Kong.

[Edit: Actually, it’s possible that you’ve never gotten an email from me. Somebody might have just given you the link to this page, which is an online archive of an email that I sent to folks who had asked for it. If you’d like to get articles like this in your inbox, totally free, about once a week or two, give me your email address.]

This week: Reconstructing Hong Kong’s Lost Memories in the Miniature, Final train delivered for Hong Kong Express Rail Link, You Put Safety at Risk, Judge Tells ‘Lazy’ Technician Who Faked Reports for Hong Kong’s Bridge to Zhuhai and Christmas Comes Early for 30 Children at Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre in Hong Kong

This week’s E-commerce Gladiator show has been an emotional one for me – we are back to sourcing, the second supplier has taken a turn for the worse. Reminding me why I took “a break” from the e-commerce game. Check it out – Friday at 2pm China time.

Also, kindly help us fill out Cross Border Matchmaker 2017 Questionnaire. We will give out two free CBS – Cross Border Summit tickets for lucky draw. To be considered, please complete the survey by Dec 25, 2017.

Reconstructing Hong Kong’s Lost Memories in the Miniature
They say that change is the only constant thing in this world. Sometimes, due to so many changes we’ve been through, we forget our history. TOMA (Tommy and Maggie) Miniatures has relived the long forgotten Hong Kong history through their exhibits. Just by taking a look, it will surely take you back to the old Hong Kong.

Final train delivered for Hong Kong Express Rail Link
CRRC Qingdao Sifang has completed the delivery of the nine high-speed trains it is supplying to MTR in Hong Kong for operation on the new Guangzhou – Shenzhen – Hong Kong Express Rail Link (XRL).

You Put Safety at Risk, Judge Tells ‘Lazy’ Technician Who Faked Reports for Hong Kong’s Bridge to Zhuhai
People’s safety should never be taken for granted. Wong Kwok-yiu, a technician, is sentenced to eight months in jail for faking the reports for Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge.

Christmas Comes Early for 30 Children at Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre in Hong Kong
Credit Suisse, a financial services holding company, puts a smile on 30 children as they held a party with their managing director disguised as Santa Claus. There were fun activities and not only the children were enjoying but as well their parents. It’s a satisfying feeling to be able to make a difference in other people’s lives.

This week’s podcast

This week’s show, we have Keith O’Brien, CEO of Market Hustl and Seller Photo – we connected online when I shared a video blog about a Chinese Amazon FBA conference and have kept in touch over the years. During his first trip to China we were lucky enough to have him up as a speaker at the Cross Border Matchmaker – one of the most favorite to present. In this episode we have him share some tactics and highlights from his speech and how sellers can boost their listings on Amazon. Enjoy!

Love doing your taxes? Didn’t think so. But being educated about the main points is important. It affects the decision making you will make in your business. At our corporate services division (JV with Unipro Consulting Limited) we get many questions about taxes. It is such a pain point, we talk about it a bit on our workshop calls in our GFA VIP members forum – today I received permission from a client to post this while removing the sensitive information of him and his business. Hope these questions help you out:
