We often picture Amazon as a place to list a product. Long introduces another relationship: becoming its supplier.

He explains why that distinction mattered to his work with Chinese businesses.

Sometimes a business problem follows you outside the office. On a morning run, Long started looking at his customer search from the buyer’s side instead. A different question opened a new direction.

Where should a German fintech open its China office? The answer was Shenzhen.

Long shares why e-commerce and the local supply chain helped make the decision.

Sometimes the next career move starts with seeing a bigger problem to solve.

For Long, that meant helping Chinese businesses expand overseas through cross-border finance.

A friend’s introduction opened the door and more than four years later, he’s looking back at that decision.

What would make you change direction?

What happens when a Shenzhen perspective meets global finance?

In this episode of TiP, Long takes us through his journey from Tencent to MODIFI and the decisions that brought him into cross-border B2B.

We talk about why Shenzhen became the right place for a German fintech to build, how Chinese manufacturers are moving beyond the old “Made in China” model, what selling to Amazon really looks like, and why product development matters more than ever.

Then we get into AI: from processing invoices and monitoring risk to helping businesses decide what to sell, where to invest, and how to scale.

A conversation about Shenzhen, global commerce, manufacturing, fintech and what AI could change for businesses behind the scenes.

What would convince you that an AI tool actually works?

For Bob, that question led Questflow from agent payments toward financial intelligence.

He shares why testing the product matters, and why he wants evidence beyond an impressive demo.

The vision of tailored financial intelligence for everyone

TiP @lp_coder sits down with @Bobbxu , founder of @questflow, to explore his bet on a “Financial Codex”: AI agents that aim to make experienced investors’ strategies more accessible.

Behind that vision? A workflow tool users didn’t stick with, a move into agent payments, and some difficult decisions about what to build next.

A conversation about finance, treasury, AI, agents and building something people actually keep using.

Watch the full conversation.

Apple has the iPhone. Muun has… a bed?

Hear how this comparison came up, and why Martin thinks it makes sense.

A bed company using AI for the work behind the scenes.

Martin explains why experience and human judgment still matter, and where he wants the saved time to go: customers.

Martin started with a love of music and found himself drawn to the work behind the show.

Running festivals meant managing moving parts, a skill he still uses today.

What did your first passion teach you?

Music, festivals, VICE, the creator economy, and now Muun.

Martin’s career has changed shape, but one lesson keeps coming back: give people a real reason to connect.
