"The incredible story of a Wall Street banker who went to China with
$400,000,000 and learned the hard way how (not) to do business there . .
.

In the early nineties, China finally opened for business and Wall Street wanted
in on the act. When the investment bankers arrived from New York with their
Harvard MBAs, pinstripes and tasselled loafers, ready to negotiate with the Old
Cadres, the stage was set for collision.

This is the true story of a tough Wall Street banker who came to China looking
for glory. He teamed up with an ex-Red Guard and a Mandarin-speaking
Englishman. Together, they raised over $400,000,000 and bought up factories all
over China. Only as they watched those millions slide towards the abyss did
they start to understand that China really doesn't play by anyone else's
rules.

Tim Clissold was there at the beginning of China's transformation and he's
still there, doing business. In this new edition of his hugely successful book
he describes just how much - and how little - has changed in China since his
story began.

Industry Reviews

No business history can ever have been such an enjoyable read as this. Any visiting businessman should be obliged to buy a copy before boarding the plane.

Every foreign company in China should arm its executives with a copy of this shocking, funny and culturally sympathetic account of the perils of doing business in the Wild West. - Economist

It's got big money, charismatic capitalists, Communist apparatchiks, crime and mysterious disappearances . . . [but] it's not just a novel - it's true. - Daily Telegraph

An instant classic. - Time
