Newsletter: This Chinese Company Forbids Staff From Buying the IPhone 7

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: Forbidden iPhones, share issuance, Pokemon Go + China mobile, plus more

Riding a bike in Shenzhen in mid-day heat is not a good idea! Met a CPA for afternoon tea and decided a 20 minute bike would be a good workout, meanwhile – I’m typing this up still drying off and hydrating up from the humidity!
