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

想了很久，写这篇评论该用中文还是英文？ 用英文比较简单，不用翻译来翻译去的。而且写中文多半要捱人骂。 但是。。。最后决定用中文。因为觉得这书虽然是给到中国做生意的外国人写的，对国人的用处应该也很大。至少大家可以反思一下。用一个不同的视角来看我们现在的社会。 ...  

McGregor以华尔街记者的敏锐和眼光，再辅之以直接参与中国商界活动的第一手经验和体会，生动传神地向西方人描绘了中国的商业环境；同样地，白痴年代以优雅准确的语言将其翻译成中文，便利了我们许多人，一并感激！ 潜望镜 她是一个潜望镜，让我们在中国这个经济和社会发展航...  

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...

外国人大抵不了解中国和中国人，我一直这么觉得。他们的看法超不脱管中窥豹或盲人摸象，读起来大多让人啼笑皆非，实难服气。但是，今天我要收回这种观点。读了乱翻书先生在译林网所译，美国人James McGregor原著的《十亿消费者》（One Billion Customers），不胜唏嘘。看来，还...  

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？

这种给中国人看那是绝壁没意思
