The Wild West flavour of investing in China will beknown to anyone who can spell IPO (or better yetHanergy). But it’s not all multibillion-dollar stocklosses andbillionaire chairmen gone Awol. Sometimesthe losses are tiny, the companies obscure and thepeople involved are nobodies doing business in themiddle of nowhere. Don’t let that fool you, though:even if the headline is small, the headache may behuge.
每个能拼写出IPO(首次公开发行)或者更好一点Hanergy(汉能)的人,都会知道在中国投资带有一种当年美国狂野西部(Wild West)的感觉。但并非所有故事都是关于数十亿美元股票巨亏和亿万富翁董事长不辞而别。有时,损失很小,公司鲜为人知,涉及的人员是在小地方做生意的小人物。然而,不要被假象蒙蔽:即使标题很小,但麻烦可能很大。
Consider the case of Sorbic International: a London-listed Chinese food preservatives companywith a market capitalisation of only £1.5m but a problem big enough to make anyone think twiceabout going into business in a country where corporate governance is stuck somewhere backin the Qing dynasty.
看一下益康国际(Sorbic international)的案例:这家伦敦上市的中国食品防腐剂企业市值仅150万英镑,但其问题大到足以让任何人在决定到一个公司治理仍深陷清朝水平的国家开展业务之前三思。
