Chinese & Russian Investors Sought for Chinese Oriental Hotel Concept in Helsinki.
Posted on: 20/04/2011
Chinese investors visiting Helsinki to explore investment into Finnish Technology opportunities have encountered one crippling issue in cross-cultural gastronomic differences.
Over the past five years, the mainland Chinese, and other Oriental businessmen have been drawn into Europe by the attractive Intellectual content available with the bouyant Euro, as an added incentive.
Ford Motor Company off-loaded Swedish Volvo to Chinese Zhejiang Geely Holding Co. for US$ 1.8 billion, whilst Chinese government led investment bailed out chunks in Greece. Next in-line for consideration, are the Information Technology-Banks of Sweden & Finland.
Chinese investors have been seriously considering several major opportunities in Technology in Finland, having successfully ventured into several mid-size investments. Finnair direct link to Shanghai, Beijing and Bangkok facilitate shorter long haul route.
However, most Chinese who visited the Nordic countries on business have encountered a common ailment due to their digestive systems, disagreeging with the Scandinavian cuisine.
Coninental breakfast or scrambled eggs with greezy bacon drowned in black tea or strong coffee, tend to churn the sensitivities of bamboo-shoot & rice washed-down with Green Tea oriented intestines upside down and inside out. Diarreah, stomach flu and resulting high-temperature tends to land them into the nearest medical center, and then shunted-off back to Beijing, sacrificing the main agenda of the visit.
