It is well known that with a population of 1.3 billion people, China's market is moving quickly toward surpassing those of North America and Europe combined. Companies from the United States and around the globe are flocking there to buy, sell, manufacture, and create new products. But as former Wall Street Journal China bureau chief turned successful corporate executive James McGregor explains, business in China is conducted with a lot of subterfuge — nothing is as it seems and nothing about doing business in China is easy.

Destined to become the bible for business people in China, One Billion Customers shows how to navigate the often treacherous waters of Chinese deal-making. Brilliantly written by an author who has lived in China for nearly two decades, the book reveals indispensable, street-smart strategies, tactics, and lessons for succeeding in the world's fastest growing consumer market.

Foreign companies rightly fear that Chinese partners, customers, or suppliers will steal their technology or trade secrets or simply pick their pockets. Testy relations between China's Communist leaders and the United States and other democracies can trap foreign companies in a political crossfire. McGregor has seen or experienced it all, and now he shares his insights into how China really works.

One Billion Customers maximizes the expansive knowledge of a respected journalist, well-known businessman, and ultimate China insider, offering compelling narratives of personalities, business deals, and lessons learned — from Morgan Stanley's creation of a joint-venture Chinese investment bank to the pleasure dome of a smuggler whose $6 billion operation demonstrates how corruptiongreases the wheels of Chinese commerce. With nearly 100 strategies for conducting business in China, this unprecedented account combines practical lessons with the story of China's remarkable rise to power.

读后感

为了避免被咔嚓而导致这本书影响的人变少，我自觉地要进行自我审查。 总的说来，本书作为一本写给外国人，关于“如何在中国经商”的指南，是非常成功的。我很有冲动想将这本书发给我那还在中国晕头转向的美国老板看看，事实上他们遇到的问题以及愚不可及的处理方法，这本书里多...  

我是从译言了解到《One Billion Customers》的，当时就决定细读。在上海外文书店很容易就买到了。此书出版在1995年，算是比较出名。中文版绝不可能在大陆被允许出版，译言的草根译者也很谨慎，在网站上申明译文不得转载，也不会制作成完整文档供下载，不过到了现在，完整文档我...  

真相的真相就是没有真相 现实的显示就是无限现实 世界是主观的世界 辨证唯物主义只是唯心主义的普遍表现罢了  

从前，有一个美国人，在他18岁时，作为一名步兵参与了残酷的越战，幸运的活了下来。然后亲历了美国70年代的社会大变革和洛杉矶当年的种族骚乱。 1985年，30岁的他和姐姐一同作为背包族，乘坐肮脏拥挤的火车和汽车，走遍了中国的城市和乡村。当时的中国才刚刚摆脱WenGe的阴霾，...  

虽然作者是针对外商在中国投资的攻略，但是作为一个国人了解这纷繁复杂的商场，也不可不谓是一个红宝书。故将其内容摘抄在此。 第一章：庄严的谈判 商业红宝书 车轮战、美食、美酒是谈判工具。如果你的中国对手想在一场茅台拼酒宴后完成交易，那最好在合同上呕吐然后签字。 中...  

用户评价

作者我还挺熟悉的一个大叔..too kind to do any effective business的那种美国人..这书找到介绍给外国分析师总结错误的。按照商业逻辑中国消费市场纵深广大(当然仅限某些行业)按照资本市场逻辑这个市场是被严重高估的..我也参加过几轮survey每次都想笑。这书的定位貌似是指导别人在中国做生意。作者本人我印象中也创业过..有个小小的journalist-based research firm..卖给高盛之后作者被架空了..然后GS卖给了波特兰的小投行然后又卖给了印度人..然后就没有然后了..至今在静安嘉里cover中概股割美国基金..然而James同学彻底踏空空了。所以他写的什么重要么？

视角专业，文笔老练。非我族类，其心必异。
