Since the recent opening of Shanghai Free Trade Zone in late September 2013, our company AdFinx, a multinational corporation specialized in financial consultancy services for the industrial segment, has fallowed with great interest the development of this business hub, identifying it as a relevant and authentic opportunity for its business development plans.
Being aware of the significant potential of Shanghai Free Trade Zone in terms of new business opportunities and knowing the international and national laws and regulations that refer to foreign investments, we would like to manifest our interest for placing AdFinx company within this Chinese financial hub, contributing, through a diverse expertise, cumulated along 20 years of financial consultancy experience and through a focus on timing and quality, to the development of Shanghai business center.
We share your focus on quality and service, which we consider the guiding principle and a necessary request for increasing China’s competitive advantage while aiming to stimulate its economy by optimizing its position in the global trade (“China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone”). We would like to salute China’s constant interest towards activating and stimulating the foreign direct investment through policies and governmental incentives meant to sustain international actors to enter this market that offers a diversified range of opportunities that are yet to be explored through a diverse, but competent business vision.
Our company values meet the anti-monopoly criterion that builds up the regulation of the Free Trade Zone. As such, AdFinx embraces the competitiveness as well as the cooperation between different activity sectors, which we consider the engine of stimulating the business mechanism in a sustainable and healthy manner. Therefore, we consider opportune the creation of a port supervision institution for tackling the anti-monopoly actions and applying effective risk management strategies (“China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone”) to assure the smooth operation of the free trade zone. Therefore, in accordance with this action, AdFinx plans to enter the Shanghai Free Trade Zone promoting a transparency policy and a business comradeship business ethics.
Capitalizing on the advantages that a multinational corporation brings for the development of international trade, AdFinx’s goal is to propel the higher end financial services in Shanghai Free Trade Zone (Flannery, “Shanghai Free Trade Zone”), cumulating the vast areas of services and the impressive clients portfolio with an innovative business that integrates new technology and international talents for optimizing the potential of global market.
In compliance with the investment management procedure that aims to expand the service sector in which the financial activities are included, it is our company’s goal to incorporate the principle of “the first to make practice, the first to make an experiment”, embracing the requirements of industrial development that the free trade zone intends to attain (“China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone”). Over the years, we pioneered several business strategies that capitalized into financial business innovation. We are confident that AdFinx’s original visionary approach on financial market will lead the way towards expanding the service segment, consolidating a solid investment management practice.
Aiming to achieve a smooth integration in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, we understand the importance of adjusting our business to the local culture. We are aware of the challenges that cultural gaps can raise and we are prepared to tackle them by integrating into our company’s structures Chinese employees in AdFinx’s key positions, for assuring the harmonization of our organizational values with China’s rich cultural heritage.
On the other hand, although we are proud of our company’s business equity, as it has managed to consolidate a strong, leading position in the industrial financial consultancy domain, we are aware of the fact that such a venture implies a significant investment from AdFinx’s side. Studying the benefits that Shanghai Free Trade Zone offers to foreign investors, we consider that the possibility of borrowing money from overseas lenders that can be used within and outside the zone by the financial institutions (Yu, “Proposals Announced”), which is guaranteed within the free trade zone, is an advantage for our company. This advantage can leverage AdFinx’s new entrance condition within the free trade zone, allowing our company to lend a solid capital from overseas for starting up its financial consultancy business in China, propelled by the benefits that Shanghai Free Trade Zone creates for foreign investors.
We are prepared to bring our enthusiastic business concept within the free trade zone, sharing our know how with Chinese industrial segment and placing it within an innovation hub that will leverage the country’s business sector and the economic performances.
Notwithstanding, while we aim at reaching high performances through this investment, sustained by the policies promoted under this financial hub, we nevertheless are committed to play fairly, respecting the regulations and the functioning guidelines set under Shanghai Free Trade Zone, respecting our competitors, while encouraging innovation by taking the challenge to stimulate the competition. Moreover, we are convinced that our company’s performance will contribute to developing China’s overall economic level.
Thank you for your time and consideration of our interest in entering Shanghai Free Trade Zone.
Sincerely,
Thomas Wait
CEO AdFinx
