Hi, my name is Nigel.
I graduated from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and began my career designing rocket components for China’s aerospace program. So unlike the so-called “rocket scientists” on Wall Street, I am the real deal.
For the past 20 years, I have helped foreign businesses achieve a smooth landing in China, navigating everything from market strategy and regulatory compliance to local partnerships and execution. I speak the languages of engineering, mathematics, and cross-border business.
Let us have a cup of tea at a peaceful Buddhist temple and talk business. We can brainstorm practical, real-world approaches to doing business in China.
My associate and I also host business networking events and organize trips around China for professionals and entrepreneurs.

The meetup platform does not work well in China.
Hi, my name is Karen. I graduated from the University of Nottingham in England. I currently run a 3D printing workshop just minutes away from Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street.
If you are in the area and into 3D printing, you are very welcome to drop by to have a look. My friends and I also organize some of the most engaging and well-curated Meetup events in Shanghai, and we would be delighted to have you join us.

We conduct all discussions over WeChat only.

Hello, my name is Daisy Wen. I studied English Literature as an undergraduate and later completed an LLB with the University of London.

Beyond academics, I have a long-standing fascination with Chinese tea culture. In China, tea is far more than a beverage. It is deeply woven into history, daily life, etiquette, art, and philosophy. Even the Japanese tea ceremony traces its roots back to tea traditions of the Tang Dynasty.

I am beginning to organize small, relaxed visits to tea farms for those who are genuinely curious about tea — how it is grown, harvested, processed, and appreciated.

If you enjoy meaningful cultural experiences and good conversation over a proper cup of tea, I am forming a WeChat group for like-minded friends.

Let us meet for a cuppa and see where the journey takes us.
