As corporate development executives redefine their corporate boundaries across the Pacific – either by acquiring Chinese targets to bring in internally unavailable capabilities or by contracting out formerly in-house manufacturing activities to Chinese suppliers, we assist to address issues that are often omitted or underestimated due to market differences and gain agreement and cooperation from Chinese business owners and executives with diverse corporate goals.

Strategic Acquisition
Acquisition is a low percentage game. Making deals in the unfamiliar Chinese market is all the more challenging. Our professional support improves our clients' chance of success in China acquisition significantly: Target identification: Our research and communication capabilities allow us to complete the task in a few short weeks instead of six months or longer as in many other cases. Target assessment: Face-to-face meetings and on-site evaluation reveal not only target companies' corporate goals and capabilities but also the potentials for strategic fit. Financial evaluation: We help construct a real financial picture of the target company in an environment known for questionable book-keeping practices.    Approaching and negotiation:: Breaking the ice with selected target companies requires fine skills of cross-cultural communication. The payoff is the target's confirmed agreement to sell. Regulatory management: Our experts assist in clarifying the constantly changing regulatory conditions and obtaining necessary approvals from regulatory authorities.
Supplier Relationship Development
Low cost manufacturers are plentiful in China. But manufacturers that meet a client's particular requirements can be few and far in between. A structural arrangement ideal for one sourcing relationship may not be so for another.  We provide on-the-ground support to supply chain executives in supplier identification, capability assessment and sourcing relationship structuring. Our goal is to enable our clients to achieve substantial cost savings through China sourcing.
