Back a while ago, I joined a dinner with a friend in China. Many people around a table including a few local officials, businessmen, and also a few pretty ladies. Really no business there, but I had nothing to do at night so my friend dragged me there. There was a man who would invest into local mineral field. Obviously, he made money (after the dinner, my friend told me that). On dinner alcohol drinking and chatting, he said that hiring a worker in Western Europe cost 10,000 Euros a month (? never been to Europe, but that's what he said), hiring a worker doing similar job in Canton monthly compensation was 800 RMB (rougly $120 USD).... and "what running here is raw capitalism, a good chance to make money" (his words). I listened to him, all occupied my mind at that moment was .... how to start bare hands, how to setup connections, how to become a man like this guy.... none has been accomplished though.
