James McGregor is everybody's go-to guy on China, providing strategic advice to top political leaders and Fortune 500 CEOs, serving as an insightful and influential China commentator for television, radio and print media across the globe, and guiding China investments, mergers & acquisitions and all manner of business deals for clients of JL McGregor & Company.
James McGregor is the founder, chairman and CEO of JL McGregor & Company LLC, a China-focused research and advisory firm. A Mandarin speaker, he is a journalist-turned-businessman who has lived in China for 20 years and the author of the book One Billion Customers: Lessons From the Front Lines of Doing Business in China, a widely-acclaimed best-seller published by Simon & Schuster.
Previously, McGregor ran the private consulting firm BlackInc China, which was the launching ground for JL McGregor & Company. He has long served as Senior China Advisor for Ogilvy Worldwide, and has also been senior China advisor for Spencer Stuart and a Senior Director of Stonebridge International LLC, an international strategic advisory firm headed by former U.S. National Security Advisor Sandy Berger. Before researching and writing the book, McGregor was a partner and the China managing director for GIV Venture Partners, a $140 million venture capital fund specializing in technology investments in China and India. McGregor was also a pioneer of the Chinese Internet, serving as an advisor to many Chinese Internet startups and as an early investor and board member of Sohu.com during the company's July 2000 NASDAQ listing.
McGregor's interest in Asia began at age 18 when he served as an infantry soldier in Vietnam. His China career started in 1985 when he backpacked through China and decided he wanted to learn Mandarin and focus on being a journalist in China. At the time, McGregor was a reporter on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. for Knight-Ridder Newspapers. From 1987 to 1993 McGregor served as The Wall Street Journal's Taiwan bureau chief and The Wall Street Journal's China bureau chief.
From 1993 to 2000, McGregor was chief executive of Dow Jones & Co. in China, and a vice-president in the Dow Jones International Group. At Dow Jones, McGregor built a portfolio of media businesses that employed some 150 Chinese professionals with offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. In 1996, McGregor was Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China. He also served for a decade as a Governor of that organization. McGregor is currently a member of the National Committee on US-China Relations; a member of the International Council of the Asia Society; and he serves on a variety of China-related advisory boards.
It is well known that with 1.3 billion mouths to feed, China’s market is moving quickly toward surpassing North America and Europe combined. Companies from the U.S. and across the globe are flocking there to buy, sell, manufacture and create new products. But as former The Wall Street Journal China bureau chief turned successful corporate executive James McGregor explains, business in China is conducted with much subterfuge -- nothing is as it seems and nothing about business in China is easy.
Quickly becoming the bible for anybody doing business 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 U.S. and other democracies can trap foreign companies in a political crossfire. McGregor has seen or experienced it all, and now he shares his insights about 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 corruption greases the wheels of Chinese commerce. With nearly one hundred strategies for conducting business in China, this unprecedented account combines practical lessons with the story of China’s remarkable rise to power.
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...
评分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...
评分不离开中国,大概永远也没机会了解中国。从外国人的眼里看到的中国反而是最真实的。丑陋的东西看了这么多,我很惊讶于自己还能愤怒。感谢互联网,让善良的大众不致于做一辈子的傻B,被人愚弄
评分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
评分从前,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,...

评分真实、敏感、透彻,就这个意思
评分4.5星,作者是真正的报人和资深China Hand,文笔刘畅幽默外加对天朝颇有了解,但基于本身是洋人的先天性不足,还是略有瑕疵、不够深刻
评分值得一提的是这本书的翻译。译者“乱翻书”,真名无从考究。他独自一人做了这件浩大的工程,没有报酬,没有出版的可能性,他从这件事中得不到一点名利。看多了这几年的所谓专业翻译水平,再看他的业余作品,我只想对那些专业翻译们说一句话:“洗洗睡吧。”乱翻书的翻译,只能用杰出两个字来形容,或者用三个字来形容:信达雅。感谢乱翻书。
评分自由意味着知道自己的笼子有多大——那些有勇气摸索笼子的人所散发的智慧光芒简直令人乍舌。(我说道琼斯和路透社联合斗新华社那段也太精彩了吧!!
