    Patents and China

    HOT! 
    Sure, everything is cheap in China due to disregard of Patents and IP. Having huge Industrial zones with all the accessory industries nearby, with huge economies of scale, cheap raw materials nearby, doesn't count. China has problems, sure. But your disdain for their operandi is way...

    Patents and China

    HOT! 
    Look @Leo Lex I'm not going to lecture anyone on how Tariffs won't stop anything. The Chinese would kill you even with a 100% Tariff. They have scale and efficiency to cut costs without jeopardizing the quality (even tho they more often than not also do). Waiting for Trump to solve your...

    I have to step in @JoeB , I understand being suspicious, but now you're just being a dick. @AndrewNC is a reputable member of this community, if his rep bank is not proof of that, there are many people in here who can vouch for him. You would be amazed by how much of a wall we build around...

    My first business mentor was Runescape

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I made my friends farm cowhides that I would later sell at a profit. After that I used a macro to automate it. Same on WoW a few years alter, and Diablo. I actually got 4 figures out of Diablo botting ahah, 14 instances running on an overclocked computer. My younger brother spends all his days...

    Go To College, Why Not?

    This has been widely discussed so there's no point in adding more to it. I've been on the two best universities of Portugal in their respective fields (STEM and Business), and dropped out of both but It took me a lot of time to do it. And this wasn't a monetary cost based decision, I was paying...

    Is importing from China unethical?

    SOURCING 
    For one, the image of the kids working in the factories is long gone, I'm not saying it doesn't happen somewhere in China, but it's not the norm. The factories I have visited are up to Western standards. Second, even if there were the troubles/worries you mention, the only way to bring people...

    EU citizenship good for business?

    MINDSET 
    I think you are mistaking citizenship with residency. In Spain and EU countries, citizenship doesn't make you taxable on that country, while fiscal residency does. And yes, it sucks (especially Western and Nordic European countries) and there's no reason not to go offshore if you can. The...

    Just Imported My First Sea Shipment: Here's what that process looks like

    GOLD! 
    Yes, but only because there are no alternatives such as Amazon FBA in Portugal. And labor and post rates are both cheap.

    So you want to move to Scottsdale?

    So everyone is dashing on the hot summer days, but how about the days during winter, which are the "too cold for pool" months? November-January? I'm looking for a getaway from the Western European winter, I like SE asia, but environment wise, Phoenix beats the crap out of it... And I loved the...

    Live Rent Free in Multiple Countries

    NOTABLE! REAL ESTATE 
    There is no catch... Historically, the rents have always been high compared to the cost of living. I don't know about property prices compared to rent, but should be the international average. Most people spend more than 50% of their wage just in rent. It's hard to find a 2 bedroom for less than...

    3 Reasons Why You Should Go to China ... and Meet with Your Factories

    NOTABLE! 
    Had the same experience ahah. I'm 21, went to a factory in Donguan and a bunch of others in Wenzhou, they all treated me really well. I knew China was having and economic boom, but the amount of high end cars is stupidly high, even in cities nearby Wenzhou (what we would call "villages" but...

    Live Rent Free in Multiple Countries

    NOTABLE! REAL ESTATE 
    While I think rents and property prices are still too high for the living standard of the population here in Lisbon (1 bedroom in a shared house takes half of the minimum wage), the rest is really really cheap. I just stockpiled my kitchen with 90 EUR, home delivery included: 8 boxes of cereal...
