Ever wondered how fireworks are sold in China? In my native Holland there are strict rules on how and when these dangerous good can be sold. China does it differently, the goods are hawked on the street just like most other products. Sometimes even by sales men smoking cigarettes (no picture of that one yet, unfortunately).
Notice how quiet the streets are, these pictures were taken on the afternoon before Chinese New Year. I assume everybody was playing games on game.com.cn, because we broke all records that day!
I am a Dutch entrepreneur in Shanghai who has lived and worked over 12 years in China. Co-founder of among others Tudou.com and unitedstyles.com, advisor to Spil Games for which I set up and led the Asian operation (2006-2011), and angel investor in Chinese Internet and tech start-ups. Married to Grace, with whom I have a son (Scott) and a daughter (Elaine). These are my personal views and do not necessarily represent the companies I am involved with.
