If you are introduced by mutual Friend, pricing is not an issue, its not the top concern. Delivery and completion of business are the highest concerns, which really amounts to what is termed Saving or Giving face. It is being able to deliver on time and on agreed price, regardless. Non performance in China is cause for serious action; losing government position, losing business license, or being denied Visa extension. It is sacralige to Deliver product or service late or change pricing within your circle of friends. QUOTE]

This is also very interesting, you hear so much of this... but there's so many westerns getting "worked over" over there...? Designs stolen, workmenship etc... Personally there's so many stories going around that I just don't want to touch the place when I get more involved with the boat building....? Cheers
