Jack Leblanc's career has included stints as a salesman, dotcom entrepreneur, venture capital broker, business consultant, and finally cross-cultural troubleshooter, solving problems between foreign investors and their Chinese counterparts. He lives in Beijing.

“This book is rich in practical detail. Leblanc’s experiences make for instructive reading for any foreign executive doing business in China.” -- China Economic Review

“A page-turner. In each case, you want to know just how well or poorly the deal turns out and the motivations driving each party. The read is worth it for the postscripts on the people involved and the quieter moments of insight and humour.” -- South China Morning Post
