Hello Hong Kong

This country is nothing like I've seen. Presently, I'm sitting at a corner window on the 33rd floor of my bay front hotel. The bay, with significant boating activity, is set in front of a line of high rises with beautiful mountains as a backdrop. This country is teeming with development and is a beautiful collection of eastern and western cultures. We've had the opportunity to meet David O'Rear, Chief Economist with the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce. This session was tremendously insightful, giving us a good understand of why Hong Kong is an important country for MNE's. Our second session was even more useful as we met with Intertrust, a company that helps FDI companies conduct business or source business in Hong Kong and China. (Really got my juices flowing on how to get Chase Paymentech into these two game changing countries.

Finally, we met with Li & Fung who has created an international supply chain management juggernaut. As a matter of fact, Walmart, who's core competency has been their efficient logistics, just recently hired Li & Fung because they can do it better. This was another great company to talk to.

To wrap up the evening, we visited Victoria peak which gave us a breath taking vantage point of the entire city. Great food and great conversation. Here are some picks and I'll again follow up with video.
