What I learned in 32 years working abroad is that if you want to be successful, in an international environment, leave your culture baggage at home.

It is I would say 40% learning 60% teaching. It applies to someone going to China (or any other country) as to the Chinese coming out of China to operate abroad.

I get along with the Chinese because I apply the 40-60 rule above.

If the Chinese discovers that you are going with 60% leaning and only doing the 40% teaching, he does not like the unbalance. In an international setting the possibilities for the other party to damage the relationship is big as it is not like home when your legal counsel send a latter to his counterpart and things an get back in traction.

I was just trying to get into High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) projects recently.

My friend introduced to Toshiba and I was trying to tell Toshiba how they could get the upper hand in Indonesia.

A country that I know fairly well having worked there for 4 years in the 90s building telecom infrastructure.
To no avail Toshiba did not get the point. I think it is because we did not seat together for lack of opportunity as I had been busy or they were busy and the opportunity did not arrive.

I already told my friend: do not get involved in the project there. They are going to lose money.
