guys, I have a design degree from UCSD and after graduation, I was working as sales for a chinese company in shanghai. (not business related) however, I want to find a finance job now in US and I am really interested in stocks, economy, finance…etc but I never have any related experience, what job can I find or apply to get me into the door? thanks
yea, I saw those investor advisor job that requires series 7 and 63, but I wonder what is it those sales job you are paid based only on commision and you have to do a lot of cold calling to get customers? I once had a insurance job for a month like that and I hate it.

Apply for your license – series 7. If you speak Chinese and have experience working within the country . . . any major company would probably love to have you. Investment firms are desperate for people who understand China.

P.S. We live in America and are trying to find someone to teach my son Mandarin . . . there isn’t anyone.

Hi, I be on a business trip in Shanghai starting 31-07 till 09-08 and I need a good hotel in Shanghai downtown, should be in the touristic area, as I don´t want to sit all days in the hotel and I also want to see something from the city and go for dinner.

The same answer as for Nanjing, Guangzhou, Beijing and the other places you’re monotonously asked the same question.

Night life in Shanghai is gentle and colorful because life here is much more than life itself. It is elegant.

The scenery at night has to be seen and the Bund is a must. The ornate classical and modern buildings take on a new and exciting look as they are lit up by an abundance of colored lights. Looking across the Huangpu River to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Jinmao Tower is a magical sight. A night-time Huangpu River cruise presents a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the night life on the Bund. 30 or so boats carry tourists;These include deluxe boats, ancient dragon boats of Ming and Qing styles, boats of Shikumen style of old Shanghai, Pirate Boat, etc. The boat fare is CNY 68. Whatever kind of boat you take, the view to be seen here at night will be sure to live on in your memory for years to come.

Leaving the scenery aside, walking westward along Nanjing East Road, you will quickly reach the famous Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, the gaily illuminated shops are an exciting backdrop to the cheerful crowds that come here after dark to enjoy the carefree atmosphere, where it is possible to pick up a bargain or enjoy a tasty morsel to eat.

Subway Line 1 links Shanghai’s three main shopping areas: Nanjing Road, Huanhai Road and Xujiahui. Something that is most convenient for those who like their shopping expeditions! Most of the shops will close at 10 pm but that is when the tea houses and bars really come into their own and the night is still young!

Tea Houses open 24 hours a day. Apart from enjoying a lone taste of tea, you can invite several friends and play cards or just chat. Once you are here, you can experience all this for yourself. Fashionable entertainments are favorites with young people. When night falls, Shanghai bathes in the light of various entertainment venues. Nightclubs, Karaoke, discos, bars and coffee houses are all popular night time meeting places.

Ven Ice, a cafe in Xin Tian DiShanghai Xin Tian Di has many visitors. If you are visiting Shanghai for the first time, it is much safer to go Xin Tian Di for the night life. Xin Tian Di, the most fashionable area cultivated in the distinctive Shikumen Buildings, the architectural styles of both west and east from the 1920s and 1930s Shanghai around South Huangpi Road and Xingye Road, has become the popular place to go. Every building has a modern interior and has become an international gallery, fashion shop, themed restaurant, coffee house or bar. Bars are where young white collars discuss their work or talk about life; even hard questions on the desk get solved here! Open-air bars are popular here also. Xin Tian Di offers the most choice and favorable appreciation. The arrival of more and more boutiques, designer shops and luxury goods stores continually adds to the enjoyment of Xin Tian Di.

Shanghai’s first bars were opened in Hengshan Road, and they remain more popular than those elsewhere. Close to Xujiahui Commercial Circle, Hengshan Road is situated in a convenient situation. Here there are bars in great numbers, side by side and in which you can take tea or coffee. A wide variety of bars ranging from the brash to more intimate and quiet abound to suit your every mood. Thus, Hengshan Road at night can be one of the most bustling places in Shanghai.

Maoming South Road: An upwardly mobile bar street.

This is where the foreign guests like to stay. The old but noted bars like Judystoo are still popular with visitors. Newly-opened Babyface’s business is booming. The Colors and Face clubs inside the Ruijin Hotel in the street add their own touch of splendor to this road.
Babyface is a lounge bar and often full of people as it is where young people like to congregate.

Nanjing Road at nightFuxing Park, located at No.2, Haolan Road, Shanghai, is the only well-preserved French park in China, so people also call it "France Garden". Altogether there are three clubs here. They are Park97, Guandi and Cash Box.

Among them, Park97 is where veterans spend their nights through. Three popular food and entertainment grounds, Baci Restaurant of Italian cuisine, Tokio Joe Restaurant with its Japanese cuisine and the California Club from Hong Kong Lan Kwai Fong make up Park97. Compared with that in Xin Tian Di, nightlife here is not that showy but exudes an everlasting glamour. With elegance, exoticism, top-rank wine and music, Park97 has its special charm. Guandi, the most noted club here, is the first superior club opened in China after Taibei’s. Cash Box (Qian Gui) as Shanghai’s oldest, most renowned KTV has the largest scale. The branch in Fuxing Park is the best of all in Shanghai.

One more highlight of nightlife in shanghai is the Portman Acrobatic Show, which will surely bring you a memorable experience.

General Motors may be drowning in red ink in the United States but it’s booming in China where it’s the number two brand behind Volkswagen. While its success rests largely on the back of tiny, utilitarian vehicles its premium Buick models are highly respected. The company showed off where it might be heading with Buick when it unveiled the Buick Business Concept, at Auto Shanghai 2009. The multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) was developed in China by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), a design and engineering joint venture between General Motors and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), with global design input. Have a look at what Buick may be delivering to the Chinese market.

In China, majority of suppliers has completed the foreign orders through the local trade agents. Finally, many parts of profits are owned by agents. Due to the lack of foreign trade knowledge, the suppliers suffer huge lost. In addition, the foreign partner doesn’t have a clear sense of sale price in local. So there are some foreign trade companies setting up the branches in Shanghai. The purpose of it is direct communication with local suppliers. Their successful story proved the advantages of the branches. In the terms of your exports, someone wants to develop the Chinese market. I could follow your advice including consult agents about Chinese law and policy.or trade affaires to handle in China.especialy suppliers information

Note to the readers,

Our class of Master of Marketing Management 2008-2009 at Instituto de Empresa had a chance to visit Shanghai during a one-week academic trip sponsored by Publiespaña in June 2009, which left us with an unforgettable experience about the Chinese culture and business.

We would like to share with you our exotic experience during the trip to this city, both from the personal and professional angles. We hope this short trip diary will give you some guidance about
the city and make you feel attracted to visit it in the future. We are not sure whether you would have the same feelings about the city once you get there, as every one of us has his own perspectives, but one thing we are sure of is that someday when you visit the city, you will definitely find yourself lost in transition.

June 2009,
