Title: business joint ventures
Post by: Rema1000 on February 17, 2007, 03:48:30 PM
A friend of mine is working in China.  US Companies must partner with Chinese companies to do business, and Chinese companies need the outside capital and support; so "joint ventures" are the rage.  He told me a cautionary joke passed-on to him from some of his business associates:

A chicken walks up to a pig, and says "Hey, joint ventures are the thing these days.  Let's form a joint venture; I'm sure we'll get rich!".  "What kind of business did you have in mind?" asks the pig?  "I was thinking about 'eggs and bacon'" says the chicken.

The moral of the story is: in a joint venture, look around at your partners.  If you don't know who the pig is...



you're the pig

Dude, I don't think making a living off of selling joints is a good idea.
