Abstract: The rapid growth in China's construction industry since the late 1990s provided several opportunities for construction firms to expand their operations in the country. Vincent Lo, the chairman of Shui On Group, a Hong Kong based construction enterprise, first entered the Chinese market during the mid-1980s. Over the next few years, he began to invest on the Chinese Mainland, buying cement plants and developing high-end commercial and residential centers. He spent a lot of time building relationships with Chinese officials, which earned him the nickname,'King of guanxi'. Vincent Lo's most successful venture in China has been the development of Shanghai's premier entertainment district, Xintiandi. |
