I’ve made a million from China. Set up companies in Indonesia Thailand and Singapore Malaysia . Worked with govts and multiple big deals.
Never ever been to ktv once. Not once. Nobody has ever forced me to drink either.
It’s simple. Drinking and ktv is just a way for them to bully you or establish hierarchy.
If somebody really want to do business with you, there is no need for all this rubbish. It all just comes down to discussion about price. Even the horniest old man will lock in to talk details and nitty gritty if you have value. They keep this type of shit for people they wanna toy with.
Stay valuable and you will never have to obey these arbitrary bullshit rules. That’s for the “other people”. You think if Elon musk came to town they would make him go ktv to work together? They would roll out the red carpet. You are just not respected enough unfortunately.
Change your entry tactic or enforce a stronger frame in your first meeting. I’m a visiting prince in your country. Kneel or die.(mindset)
KTV culture in Asian countries (Wiki culture)
If you’re doing business in Asia, there’s one culture you cannot avoid: KTV.
And no, I’m not talking about regular karaoke. I’m talking about private rooms where you and your clients drink, sing, and pay for girls (or gays) to enhance your relationships
China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand… different versions of the same thing. And if you can’t play along, you might find yourself left out of some pretty important business meetings. 🤷🏻♀️
If you didn’t grow up here, your first experience can be a real culture shock.
The mamasang walks in with a lineup, asks you to pick, and suddenly you’re sitting there with someone awkwardly, not knowing where to look or what to do.
I got dragged into a few of these KTV nights in Singapore last week, and here’s my little survival hack that has never failed:
Always pick the one who LOVES dancing.
Seriously. Find the girl or guy who’s genuinely obsessed with the microphone.
They’ll happily sing all night. Duets with your business partners, solo performances, fighting for the mic… they’ll basically entertain themselves for hours.
Meanwhile, you don’t have to make small talk, flirt, or keep drinking with someone you barely know.
You fit right in, your business partner think you belong, your companion is having the time of their life, and you survive the entire night without a single awkward moment.
Everybody wins. You’re welcome.
Agree to disagree
Business partnerships last if the business makes sense and the numbers make sense. Nobody runs businesses at loss just because of “deep KTV brotherhood”
Especially not if the numbers are big
Maybe you do but I don’t do things this way.
If we work together I want both of us to make money. I don’t need to be friends or brothers with you. I got enough brothers.
I’m not looking to become brothers with random China businessmen. I’m looking to offer them an opportunity for both of us to make money.
We can both go to ktv on our own dime and own time with our own friends.
It’s the Wild West in China. There is no such thing as kidship let’s not kid ourselves.
@insomniac988 You got that right.
The dynamic is very important. Most people don’t seem to understand that.
Also I will not like it if the guy I’m bargaining with me is trying to lowball me while asking me to go ktv.
For all the peps who think I don’t do real business of any size in China. This is the Shandong Govt visiting my company in Singapore last month. 100mil people province. I got companies in 5 other provinces. No larping here, I’m the real deal. I’m not your typical foreigner going to China KTV looking for an excuse to cheat on your wife, or buying China goods to do dropshipping. I’m solely here to make money. I have no idea what “inner circles” you are talking about only achievable by going to KTV, but I guess I’m never gonna get there.
The Shandongnese have an insane drinking culture, ktv culture, as well as cigarettes culture. Traditionally if you don’t drink enough or toast them enough, or they want to establish hierarchy, they will bully and scold each other for all sorts of reasons.
However, when I go to Shandong for business, do you think any company will dare ask me to go to KTV? Or scold me if I don’t drink? Do you think they will refuse to do business with someone their own govt vetted? They would be out of their mind and their boss would sack them.
The whole world’s economy is on fire. The Jews and goyim are all down bad together. The ship is sinking and nobody is doing well. The richest person you know is secretly rekt. There is no more time for ktv. Make what hay is left possible while the sun still shines.
Get to fucking work.
Also a self promo if any of you are looking to do business in China hmu, (set up business trips, factories for pearl-2:native mining, whatever. Always down to chat or make a friend. I know a few China companies looking for a white guy to rep as ceo to rug other Chinese people)
