I also met up with James Tan, a fellow Singaporean who made a bold move to set up 55Tuan with friends he met during his time at university. He stumbled upon a MBA scholarship at Qinghua and quickly grabbed the chance, seeing it as a good way to learn more about China as a student. That is obviously one of the best decisions he has made in life so far. 55Tuan, the service he started with Qinghua classmates, is now one of the largest group-buy sites in China and is poised for an IPO by the end of this year.

He told me that if we can spend 24 hours focusing on a small market, then why not spend the same amount of time on a large market? I’m excited to plunge myself into Beijing to learn and explore. I see myself possibly building my next start-up in China. But before anyone could do that, I understand patience is very much needed to learn and understand more about the Chinese culture and the way things work. The opportunities in China are way too addictive and for a mid-twenties punk like me, this will probably be the best learning experience I will have over the next couple of years while I’m there.
