PE in China: No Foreigners Wanted
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 10th, 2011 11:13 AM Author: passionate garnet ceo hominid http://www.mergersandinquisitions.com/china-private-equity/
"Foreigners, Abandon All Hope? Q: Let’s go back to why it’s so tough for foreigners in the China PE market. Do you have any foreign co-workers, or are they all locals from mainland China who worked or studied abroad and returned home? A: There are fewer than 10-15 foreigners working full-time in the entire PE industry in China, and we all know each other. Most of us have been pushed out from deal work and, like me, focus more on fundraising and investor relations. Q: OK, but I’m sure there must be a few foreigners there in high-up positions? One of our other interviewees mentioned that the MD at her firm was foreign. A: There are some exceptions. For example, a few foreigners got in 5-10 years ago as founding MDs of their firms, so they have unique positions. But the rest of us – other investment professionals – have been mostly pushed out. There was one other guy who was relocated to Asia by a major international PE shop, but he was then axed to free up the position so that a local could be brought in instead. And he was a senior officer with 10 years+ of PE experience and fluent Mandarin."

The Innovation Works fund has attracted several investors, including Steve Chen, co-founder of YouTube; Foxconn, the electronics contract manufacturer; Legend Holdings, the parent of PC maker Lenovo; and WI Harper Group.[12] In September 2010, Mr. Lee described two Google Android projects for Chinese users: Tapas, a smart-phone operating system tailored for Chinese users and Wonderpod (Wandoujia), which allows downloading from Chinese video sites.[13]"

Basically all the monied elites in China come out of 1 of 4 universities and they all have big party ties. Without the pedigree or at least the party connections you are a shit in China. And shit is actually little different in Russia. Ex-KGB or an MGU degree and preferably both or no one will talk to you. Foreigners are only viewed as "good enough" to handle the shit paper pushing the domestics dont want to do. Western banks dont even have a shot in hell of competing -- not on the retail level or for the best of the IB work, they get scraps thrown to them when foreign policy considerations warrant throwing them some.

Date: July 10th, 2011 11:42 AM Author: passionate garnet ceo hominid "Scrilla Killa: Foreign megafunds are definitely taken seriously in China. Bain Capital would be one example, they’ve done a lot of deals here.
That said – it’s pretty much impossible to get at a job at a megafund here as a foreigner – whether it be PE or REPE. I’ve never seen a single white guy and I’ve only seen a few ABCs — carlyle has 1 or 2 ABC kids I know of….
Almost all true foreign people are at smaller shops… and like the article said, there’s definitely less than 50 foreigners (w/ no Chinese heritage) total at all PE firms in the country. If you include REPE it’s probably a bit more than that… but I almost never meet a fellow white guy in the game over here. I met one or two spanish dudes at a European firm, but they’re being pushed into investor relations like the guy who wrote this article."

but you are kidding if you don't think a Beijing accented Mandarin speaker carries a certain cachet for doing business in China.
"The Beijing accent, as is consistent with native Beijingers, heavily employs the “er” sound at the end of words which wouldn’t normally make use of them. Aside from this most conspicuous trait, Beijingers tend to enunciate their tones with what I can only describe as authority. In a sense, it’s a melodious way of speaking Mandarin, although many Beijingers may likely refer to their spoken tongue as Beijing Hua (the language from which Standard Mandarin is based)."

one person i can think of off the top of my head is an ABC girl who is working in PR and advertising over there right now. she actually told me she doesn't like living in China all that much, but the work experience is so much better than what she could get in the States, she basically does not see herself leaving anytime soon. |

would a technical background even be helpful when there are so many native chinese who pwn at that stuff? now that i think about it, why WOULD they hire an ABC? it seems the worst of both worlds given they aren't as strong technically while not being up to snuff culturally/linguistically AND not the feather-in-your-cap white boy that a company can use to look good.

She is only competing with other Western females mostly for her job, and there aren't as many qualified Western women looking to work in China yet (compared to men), so ABC women do quite well.
a technical background is absolutely fine. One thing is that Chinese companies like technical degrees better than liberal arts degrees even for non-technical positions. Just look at the politicians in China, they all have engineering degrees.
i'm not sure why you think ABC's are not as strong technically. the best universities in sciences are still mostly in the U.S., so are many of the most cutting edge technology firms. In fact, some of the most desirable/successful expats are tech people that brought back marketable technical knowledge and founded companies based on that, e.g. Baidu, etc. |
