天下武功,唯快不破

谢邀。

我有个朋友叫周优雅,36岁,满腔热情投身投资界,一周七天,被抢了七个项目。再见到他的时候,哥们已经觉得前途渺茫,想辞职回去继续“搬砖”了。

我觉得诧异,就问他是单纯因为水逆,还是出了其他岔子。周优雅眉头紧锁:“抢不过啊,其他机构要么协议还没签呢,钱就到帐了,要么TS才一页纸……吃相也太难看了。”最后一句话显然是出于被人抢了好项目的恼羞成怒,我只好安慰他:“没那么夸张吧,都是聪明人,不会踩着坑跳进去的。你跟我仔细说说。” Continue Reading 如何优雅地“抢项目”

The Chinese government has announced that it will ease or remove restrictions on foreign ownership of Chinese securities and futures firms, fund managers, commercial banks, financial asset managers, life insurers and certain other financial institutions.  Subject to certain transition periods, these changes will allow foreign investors to own a majority and eventually a 100% stake in many types of Chinese financial institutions.  The announcement therefore represents one of the most significant steps China has taken to further open up the financial sector in the world’s 2nd largest economy.  Continue Reading China Eases Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Chinese FIs

工作中时常会碰到客户的询问,“这个(涉税)事情我们不说,税务机关怎么会知道?我如果不披露,是不是就不用交税了?”客户有这样的想法不奇怪。不少纳税人朴素地将一个交易/事项的纳税义务等同于薛定谔的猫,即是否缴税等同于判断税务机关能否完整地知悉和了解相关交易。虽然他们也理解,纳税义务的产生是基于法律的规定,而非税务机关。但是对于既有征管实践地惯常理解,使得这些纳税人持有上述观点。  Continue Reading 为什么不爱护员工的公司不是好公司?——谈税务举报的风险与防范

The Chinese market, while similar or identical in many aspects to other markets, is also unique in certain respects.  Sometimes these differences are obvious but sometimes they are not. Whether you are entering the China market for the first time or growing your existing business, it can be crucial to be able to identify and manage these differences, many of which may not be immediately apparent.

相较全球市场,中国市场是存在一些特质的。个别情况下,这些特质较为突显。不管是初来乍到还是在中国市场已打下些许基础,熟稔并懂得利用这些特质来为我所用,尤为关键。而这些特质,有的显而易见,有的则不易察觉。  Continue Reading A Lawyer’s Guide to Working in China

舍弗勒事件敲响了企业供应链环保法律风险问题的警钟

2017年9月,世界500强企业、德国著名轴承品牌舍弗勒大中华区CEO致函上海市经济和信息化委员会等部门,称其目前唯一的滚针原材料供应商“上海界龙金属拉丝厂”因环保问题被断电停产,使得舍弗勒面临供货缺口。由于舍弗勒的客户遍及中国所有的汽车生产厂商,这次供货缺口理论上将造成中国汽车300多万辆的减产,相当于3000亿元的产值损失。舍弗勒希望政府为其供应商上海界龙的环保事宜网开一面,宽限3个月,以免因滚针断供而造成更大损失。 Continue Reading 如何成为环保“领跑者”——企业应如何防范供应链环保法律风险?
