Privy Porsche China Event
"Privy recently teamed up with Porsche Centre Shanghai Pudong and Muse Entertainment to throw our first private party in Shanghai. The evening was put together by superstar attorney and Muse Partner Paul Lin, who co-hosted the evening along with Muse Managing Partner Michael Sun and Privy CEO Stephen Liu. Prior to the Privy shindig, Lin, recently inducted into the Committee of 100, attended meetings in Taipei and Shanghai with his fellow C-100 members. It was an eventful few days for the group, which met with Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou, among others, before joining us in Shanghai. David Xiao, GM of the newly minted Porsche Centre Shanghai Pudong, took a break from heading up the Chinese flagship facility to represent our gracious sponsors.
Guests came in from Seoul, San Francisco, Taipei, Hong Kong, Beijing, and LA to reconnect with old friends and mingle with new ones in the Chinese hub city. Some flew in just for the event, while others took a detour from their travels to join us for the evening.
The setting proved to be the perfect backdrop for an intimate night with some great people. C-100 members Judge Elwood Lui and Peter Liu, Chairman of WI Harper; James Chen, EVP of Diebold International; Joel Tzo, GM of Bose China; Eric Han, President of KFC-Yum China; Eddie Lui, CEO of Excelstor Technologies; Leon Soo, President of Shanghai Heling Lexus (Hotai Motors Ltd.); Tina Cheng, Country Manager of Jigocity Taiwan; Olivier Burlot, Managing Director of Blu Inc. Media HK; Sam Lee, Chairman of Interserv Inc.; Rita Huang, Managing Director of Bayern Capital; Bob Lu, GM of Lamborghini Shanghai; Shew Chen, Partner at HydePark Capital Partners; Andrew Bigbee, the Commanderie de Bordeaux Shanghai; Stream Lee, Privy Seoul Ambassador; and Eric Zho, CEO of Ato Ato Integrated Media, Inc. were among the notable guests.

Inspiration Is Nonsense by Salman Rushdie
"The key to writing is concentration, not inspiration, says the author. It requires deep attention to your characters, to the world they live in, and to the story you have to tell."
