Newsletter: Pushback from the One Belt One Road Initiative?

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.]

Global From Asia Media Desk News

This week’s podcast – we have Ray Ng, my business partner, the founder of Unipro Consulting Limited, talking to us about whether we should take a dividend or a salary from our business as an entrepreneur? I think a lot of entrepreneurs here like me have all been there before: we wonder how to get the money out of our companies to pay our rent, food, beer, and coconuts. What are the options?

This week’s blog post is about reasons why you should organize a GFA expert meetup in your city as a chapter expert. Tonight we are going to have our first meetup after Cross Border Summit. The seats were already fully booked before Tuesday and we are going to hold more meetups after this one.

Global From Asia Expert Workshop

Following the meetup, on 19th May, we have Meir Simhi’s full day, Amazon Leverage workshop in Shenzhen. Check out more details about the event by clicking.
