The Wall St. lifestyle model won't work here in Shanghai as there is a severe lack of "models" to impress by name dropping investment banks, bottle service is already a common feature of nightlife, and Asian bonuses don't compare to what they used to get. Also the pitch book won't be in English.

Well, since a cadre declared what "safe" melamin and by fiat, formaldehyde levels are, its perfectly ok to blindly and ignorantly consume Chinese food products. As for Wall St. "pros" flocking to Shanghai, coincidentally the FBI has close to 25% of its full workforce investigating over 30 US financial institutions. You guys are getting reckless gamblers and soon to be felons (not the China needs more of those), not intellectual financial geniouses. I'll bet most of their luggage will be full of cash, as bank account freezes are starting to go into effect.
