Mr. Po is an experienced executive with a proven track record of successfully closing large scale projects involving mergers, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships; across multiple sectors, including mining, petrochemicals, resources, and real estate; around the world, with a recent emphasis on North America and the People's Republic of China. He is familiar with all phases of international project development, including land assembly, negotiation, planning, financing, securing government approvals, property development and construction.
At present, Mr. Po is directly involved in a number of projects that are central to the long term viability of the vast and growing Chinese economy, including serving as a key intermediary between the political and economic reality of Chinese business ventures, and the rigorous transparency of the North American, European and Asian public markets. His roles include project leader, corporate structuring, political strategist, and financing.
Mr. Po also has significant existing interests in the mining and resource industry in the PRC. He successfully negotiated and concluded the first Sino-foreign diamond mining joint venture, with ownership of a producing diamond mine and two nearby exploration/development concessions, as well as concluding an extensive project involving a producing oil-gas property with extensive proven reserves. All of these industries were previously inaccessible to foreign ownership, but with Mr. Po's involvement in 1996 as an advisor for revising the Chinese Mining regulations, the door was opened to foreign ownership in these strategic industries.
Mr. Po as an economic advisor to various local, provincial and central governments in China had a substantial impact on the structure and content of the laws governing banking and foreign joint ventures in use today. Mr. Po has historically, and continues today, to assist and advise various levels of the Chinese government and ministries in economic planning and development, and represent various levels of Chinese government at international conventions. |
