The truth is there's a lot more to China than just Alibaba. Getting your business in China can be a challenge. It is not like other countries where you can open up a shop around the corner, with time and patience. In order to enter the China market, you need to get your branding right. The Chinese market has been very competitive and difficult for giants like Apple, Google and Samsung to penetrate. Many brands are getting it wrong because their marketing strategies are not focused on the Chinese customer. Getting your branding right before entering a new market can make all the difference.This episode of The Negotiation is part 1 with Louis Houdart, Founder of CREATIVE CAPITAL, Entrepreneur, Business and Investment Coach, Board Member and Advisor to many start-up companies. The Creative Capital China team has worked with European companies in China and pushed little-known brands into Western markets. By establishing pre-eminent international brand awareness and strong brand relationships, Creative Capital is one of the only firms in China that focuses on widening awareness of Chinese companies beyond their home market. In this thought-provoking and engaging episode, Louis Houdart shares his story about how he founded Creative Capital, what Chinese culture means to him, and how he got rid of "The Secret Garden." Also covered are the importance of strong concepts, branding in China, why Creative Capital is relevant and why we should care when it comes to brands being successful and much more!Please enjoy! Topics Discussed and Key Points: Secret Garden and how Louis got rid of it. How Creative Capital was founded and what they do.  Why Louis found the wedding business to be both amazing and nightmarish. Why Creative Capital was relevant in China. The significance of a brand's concept strength. The meaning of creativity in China and Europe, as well as the nuances surrounding it. The lazy economy and what it entails. Glamping and the rise of Frisbee. Notable Quotes“So, we were in 2006 in Shanghai and China was changing both in terms of the way consumers were consuming and also in the way brands were developing in China and saw a market opportunity in the retail of flowers.”“In terms of a top line, it was an interesting business. In terms of the operation, it was a total nightmare for me for many different reasons..”“In France, it's very easy to get bank financing as a small entrepreneur in China, I mean, you are definitely on your own.”“The steward of Creative Capital is very much of course linked to a history of secret Garden; I think it's also very much linked to the way China intrapreneurship has been developing. So being a very fluid thing, I had this beautiful little secret gallery business. It was very painful to operate but still an interesting small business.”“China is not a place where you come with a small amount of money when you want to play on the Commerce part.”“Most of the branding agencies in Europe in the US are not really there to create brands, they are there to fine-tune an existing concept, which often is fairly good.”“If you try to be perfect, the market is already gone and your competitors have taken your spot. So, we were trying to be maybe not 100% Perfect, but being like 85% or 90% fair but in a very, very, very quick period of time. So, the concept would have taken two years in Europe, we are delivering them in four to five months.”“In the past, I've seen so much creativity in China in solving problems, turning the wrong puzzles and resulting in solving them. I think there's definitely a lot of creativity, so much creativity in China going on.”

1. Revolución de la IA: En episodios pasados hemos platicado ya mucho sobre inteligencia artificial y sobre todo estos sistemas de inteligencia artificial que ya están abiertos al público, donde uno puede poner un texto y la inteligencia artificial lo convierte en imágenes. Ahora vemos el inicio de una inteligencia artificial que empieza a censurar. Una inteligencia artificial desarrollada por la compañía Baidu, demostró que hay temas sociales y políticos que no son mostrados cuando la IA desarrolla las imágenes.2.

Entrepreneurship in Japan fits the definition of the word ‘entrepreneur'. Japanese culture is one that can be described as ‘wabi-Sabi', which literally means "frugal, simple, and expressed in a refined way'. Entrepreneurship is a newly emerging culture in Japan. The gap between the traditional business and the new generation of start-up companies is widening. A small number of entrepreneurs in Japan have gained attention and investment by large enterprises through focusing on innovation, expansion and improvement in the quality of business operations. Japan, not unlike China, has a very unique startup ecosystem, due to its somewhat homogenous society and unique ways of doing business, something not easily understood upon market entry. Today on The Negotiation, we have Akio Tanaka, Co-Founder and Partner at Headline VC. Headline VC is a technology-focused venture capital firm that sees the world's future through the lens of exponential technologies. The aim of Headline is to identify, fund, and partner with companies who are building these new products and services—and to make them more accessible to mainstream consumers. Akio has over 20 years of technology experience. He served as the Senior Director & CTO at Macromedia Japan; in 2005, he spent less than a year as the Vice-president and technology advisor to the CEO at Macromedia Inc.; since June 2008 he has been the Co-founder and Managing Partner at Infinity Venture Partners. Akio Tanaka is one of the most influential investors in Japan and has been known to be passionately committed to the local ecosystem. Akio Tanaka talks about his own professional backyard and walks us through his investment methodology with some examples of the companies he likes to invest in and why. He also talks about his own startup background and the acquisition by Adobe, along with some insights on the Japanese entrepreneurial ecosystem, and some conversational dabbling into personal-interest verticals like ski equipment-on-demand services and self-storage in Japan, among other exciting topics. Enjoy! Please enjoy! Topics Discussed and Key Points: How Adobe was created. Why geeks can create far bigger companies than salespeople. Who performs better, technical founders or non-technical founders? The story of  Freee the Cloud-based accounting company and why it was created. Why an entrepreneurial society in Japan was started. Headline VC and their early-stage investments. The beginning of the entrepreneurial culture in Japan. Lessons learned from Groupon in Japan.

The future of omnichannel retail in Asia is inspiring. With the barriers to omnichannel integration falling, consumers are more comfortable switching channels and purchasing goods online, while retailers are evolving beyond physical retail stores to become full-service providers of products, services and experiences. Today on The Negotiation, we continue our conversation with Patrick Deloy, who is a Managing Director at Merkle, an award-winning e-commerce solutions provider which supports medium to large B2C and B2B companies with the planning, development, localization and long-term support of multi-country e-commerce website deployments in the APAC region.  Patrick's insights on the future of omnichannel retail in Asia and beyond are a must-listen for all retailers, e-commerce businesses and product owners. He shares his thoughts from the perspective of both a storeowner and an e-commerce entrepreneur trying to figure out how online and offline retail will coexist in the future. Please enjoy! Topics Discussed and Key Points:  The merging of omnichannel retail consumers in Asia and the metaverse. Prominent trends following COVID's emergence. How curbside pickup became popular. Why there's still plenty of room for growth in omnichannel retail in Asia. The fractured ecosystem across APAC. The concept of total commerce The partner ecosystem and why it is critical Why customer experience is everything and how to enable superior customer experience. The future of offline retail and what customers expect from offline retail. Notable Quotes“A lot of people, you know, had an interest in the metaverse, even though they did not know what it really was.”“South Korea itself is not, you know, a huge country, but it's one of the largest, you know, crypto markets.”“The response, obviously, to the emergence of COVID in countries across APAC has been very varied.”“There's still a big pool of, you know, consumers that have not, you know, done a lot of, you know, online commerce transactions, yet, you know, have not ordered a lot on DTC channels online.”“Consumers will more and more expect that whatever they do offline is reflected online, whatever they do online is recognized offline.”“Asian markets have become so important for most international brands that they know, you know, they can't screw it up, right, they have to get it right.”“There has to be a layer of, you know, centralization, and, you know, enough room for localization as well.”“Well for us Customer Experience is everything, really, the way we look at it, really only a superior customer experience will make consumers real and loyal advocates for the brand. So only, you know, superior customer experience can help brands as well to outgrow their competition.”

Tu & Lei start off the podcast with a review of August sales numbers,  the pleasant surprises along with the disappointments. Tu and Lei then take a step back and talk about the global EV market, how the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) should help the US EV sector and how some Volkswagen customers in Europe have gotten so frustrated with their ID Series vehicles they're returning them.Tu then moves the discussion to the recent restrictions placed on Nvidia and AMD that limits the chips they can export to China and Russia which leads to a broader discussion about the restrictions by both countries that have given them advantages historically that have manifested into companies that are leaders in the space currently.Tu and Lei then move to unpack Baidu's Robin Li who said that most companies would likely skip L3 and go straight from L2 to L4 autonomy with their vehicles and systems. They close the pod with a brief discussion about some of the challenges ahead for the foreign automakers that they'll need to overcome in China vs. their domestic counterparts if they are to ultimately succeed there.

Baidu, Inc., Q2 2022 Earnings Call, Aug 30, 2022

Baidu, China's equivalent to Google, has become the first company to introduce driverless cars on China's public roads. At the same time, Teslas have been banned, supposedly for safety reasons. A new front in the tech war between China and the US?

Chinas Google namens Baidu hat als erstes Unternehmen des Landes das fahrerlose Auto auf öffentlichen Straßen eingeführt. Gleichzeitig wurden Teslas verboten, angeblich aus Sicherheitsgründen. Eine neue Front im Tech-Krieg zwischen China und USA?

Baidu (BIDU) earnings report indicated $2.36 in EPS, beating the estimate. Baidu autonomous ride-hailing service Apollo Go provider 287K rides in the second quarter. Baidu monthly active users reached 628M in June. "Other social media platforms are competing in terms of advertising budgets. There is great uncertainty whether any of their new businesses can be monetized successfully on a mass scale. Leadership and brand in search have been weakened by more competitors entering the market," says Lee Bohl. "Baidu (BIDU) earnings beat is likely driven by strong growth in cloud business. The question is how much longer the Chinese government plans to continue their lockdown policy. The proposed U.S. and China agreement to allow inspection of books could be a game changer," Kevin Riley adds.

How to Maximize Your Impact and Reach on the Planet Something which has been very interesting, currently living here in Phnom Penh Cambodia, at this point, it seems that Cambodia is just a new colony of mainland China. For example, if you look into the Belt and Road Initiative, something I witnessed very interesting was a map of it, and Vietnam, Cambodia, Southeast Asia in general, we're all painted in red. My point of thought that is that all of these countries which are bordering China, have essentially become assimilated into China. Therefore my basic idea is this: Can people in mainland China access your photography, website, and stuff via their Internet? Or via baidu.com (their local Google)? how open source is the future I believe the reason why open source is the key to maximize your impact and influence in the world is this: Stuff is open source, it is more likely accessible by anyone on the planet. And something else I've realized is this: maximizing your impact, notoriety, fame, and influence is more important than money or any other metric of success. “Baidu yourself” And one of my life goals was to become number one on Google for “Eric Kim”. Now that I have achieved that life goal, a simple thought: If you search your first and last name on baidu.com, will you show up? Think globally Something I really like about the new iOS beta is one of the default wallpapers is a GPS coordination of planet earth. It is a nice visual, as it has us to think bigger, more globally, at the earth scale, rather than our myopic and shortsighted view of our own locale. For example, I like the Socrates quote — when somebody asked him where he was from, he said “I am a citizen of the world“. I believe this is an attitude we should all adopt. Why are people so racist towards mainland Chinese? Why is everyone so fearful of mainland China, and why do so many people disdain Chinese tourists? Several thoughts: First of all, mainland Chinese tourists often do not act with “proper“ notions of Western modernity. For example, yell yell, speak loudly in public, spit in public, etc. They order and boss people around like they are their slaves or servants. This is very anti-western notions of what is considered “proper“, if you think about the UK British notions of Victorian properness. Second, honestly, I think a lot of people hate mainland Chinese because they are so rich. For example, when I was in Hong Kong, it seems that everyone is low-key jealous of the mainland Chinese tourists, because they are so rich, and can just buy out the Gucci, Louis Vuitton, or Hermès store by themselves. Third, it seems that all nations, in order to thrive, need some sort of enemy. For example, if you observe the goldeneye movies, or even modern day American politics, there is always a foreign enemy. Whether it be the communist, the Russians, the Chinese, etc. Funny enough though, now that a lot of mainland Chinese people prefer to watch American cinema, anti-Chinese sentiment is being toned down. For example, when I watched the pacific rim two movie, which was funded by a Chinese company, the western guys and the Chinese guys all worked together to fight off the aliens. I think this is a good thing. Censorship, whether

"Scotland provides free menstrual products for women" was a hot search on Baidu. Public places such as schools and universities across Scotland are offering free menstrual products to women from 15 August.

Topics Discussed and Key Points:●      The type of advertising that resonates with Japanese consumers●      Marketing lessons learned after working at Grey Group from 1988-1991●      Ecommerce in mid-1990s Japan●      Brands that did in-store marketing well in the 1990s●      Producing media for Coca-Cola in Japan●      Working with the teams at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, and the 2010 FIFA World Cup Episode Summary:Today on The Negotiation, we speak with Chuk Besher, Executive Producer at 3Minute, the digital media arm of GREE, a Japanese internet media company that provides mobile social networking and mobile technology services.A content marketing specialist, Chuk's clients range from the luxury, hospitality, fashion, and pharmaceutical industries. He leads the production of a variety of branded content for these companies, from events to video storytelling to advertising.Chuk speaks on the type of advertising which resonates with Japanese consumers, which he calls “advertising that is not advertising”. He says that consumers are sophisticated enough to turn away from traditional, in-your-face messaging. Good marketers craft stories around their products and services which not only inspire, entertain, or educate, but also allow consumers to relate to the brand itself.He shares lessons learned about brand localization after being recruited into Grey Group as a fresh grad in 1988. Chuk explains that if you have a local brand which you are bringing into a market like Japan, it is not simply a matter of translating the copy. Grey taught him that having local knowledge and insight was even more important in bringing success to a brand in a new market.Speaking on his 8+ years of experience as Director of Branded Media for Coca-Cola, Chuk explains that the brand's immense success can be traced back to Coca-Cola's commitment to omnipresence. In today's market, however, it has now become important not just to be everywhere, but to be meaningful everywhere. This means having a symbiotic relationship between marketing and creative, and having the message, as well as the delivery of the message, be specific to the target audience.Finally, Chuk shares how he continued to use the approach of “advertising that is not advertising” during his involvement in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, along with the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Key Quotes:“The type of advertising that resonates with Japanese consumers—and it's not unique to Japanese consumers, per se—is advertising that is not advertising.” “Maintain brand integrity—do not lose sight of what the brand stands for. At the same time, make sure that it is meaningful and resonates with the local consumer.”

Alex and Grace are back to cover the biggest and most interesting technology, startup and markets news. This morning was a fun mix of stuff that we don't always get to, so strap in for the following:Stocks and cryptos are mostly higher today, meaning that most listeners of the show are now richer than they were Friday. Congratulations!Coinbase earnings on the horizon, but we got word today from Palantir and SoftBank. Palantir's stock is off due to a guidance miss, while SoftBank reported massive losses from its Vision Fund efforts.Also, it turns out that SoftBank is of the perspective that startup founders are not yet willing to accept valuation cuts to bring the value of their startups in line with market conditions. That's not good.And there was a huge PE deal today, Avalara being taken over by Vista Equity Partners in a $8.4 billion deal.What else? Self-driving cars from Baidu are now taking passengers in China, Lyft is building a media business, and India is cutting back on buying Chinese smartphones.We are back Wednesday!

Topics Discussed and Key Points:●      Leading Disney in Japan●      Growing Baroque Japan Limited●      Common branding mistakes made in Japan by foreign companies●      How COVID-19 impacted the Japanese retail market●      Technology-related trends that will shape commerce in Japan over the next decade●      About Jeff's olive oil manufacturer Green Valley Olive Episode Summary:Today on The Negotiation, we continue our conversation with Jeff Daggett, Founder and CEO of Aisonne, a brand and retail development & management company offering brand, retail, hospitality, and licensing management services and representation in Japan and the United States.Since 2002, Aisonne has assisted a number of big-name retail brands such as Apple, Columbia Sportswear, Nordstrom, Shinjuku Takano, and NBC Universal.Jeff's background includes over three decades of experience at leading global companies in the Asia-Pacific, specifically in investment banking, real estate, retail operations, merchandising, marketing, and general management.This time, we focus much of our discussion on Jeff's time as Disney Japan's Vice President of Consumer Products from 2004 to 2011, followed by two years at Baroque Japan Limited from 2011 to 2013.Jeff then talks about the major mistakes that foreign brands make in the Japanese market, pulling lessons from his current role as the visionary behind Aisonne, which he founded two decades prior. To him, while localization is an obvious consideration, the common thread that spells success for any company looking to succeed is a focus on effectively telling the story of the brand.In fact, despite the aging population, Jeff believes that there is a lot of opportunity for foreign brands to establish a strong base in Japan as long as “you have a compelling product that's attractively displayed and appropriately priced with a good story.” Key Quotes:“There is no ‘right' or ‘wrong' corporate culture. Every corporate culture has evolved to be ‘right' for that entity.” “Japan is a different place, but what Japan is really looking for is your authenticity.”
