    The China Story No One's Telling:

    How a gov't-backed
    "Hai Gui" could help you earn 550% in just 18 months

    Made possible by the richest government on Earth, this opportunity was the subject of a recent Harvard Business School Case Study—and has helped savvy U.S. investors earn as much as $18,240 in just the past 30 days...



    Dear Reader,

    I'm writing to tell you about the "Hai Gui"...

    Created and backed by the world's richest government (China), this unusual situation is, in my opinion, the best moneymaking opportunity in the world today.

    And as Beijing resident Ying Luo says, offers "the opportunity for you to be superrich."

    In fact, China's richest man, Li Ka-Shing, is already taking advantage of the situation. So are savvy Americans:
    ● A Californian named Brian Bilger surfaced as an early investor in the "Hai Gui" movement in February 2006, and has increased his net worth more than $42,000 as a result.
    ● A Minnesota man named David Benson has recently taken advantage of the "Hai Gui." Since November 1st of this year, and he's increased his earnings by $18,240.
    ● A Massachusetts' man named James Finch has done even better—he's worth about $172,000 more than he was just 30 days ago as a result of the "Hai Gui."

    As you'll see, the Hai Gui has nothing to do with the dozen or so popular China stories you've probably read about over the past year or two.

    Like most valuable pieces of financial information, this story is still completely off the radar in the mainstream press.

    Our exhaustive search of more than 1,500 major media outlets found just one mention in the London-based Economist... and only a few lines in The Wall Street Journal. (But it has been the subject of a recent Harvard Business School Case Study.)

    I know, it's hard to believe that there might still be a unique way to make a fortune from China, which you've never heard about before.

    But this situation is real... backed by the federal and local governments... and is happening right now. Plus it's the one China opportunity that's still new--and cheap.

    I know about it only because of long-standing connections with two Asian expatriates, who showed me the detailed government documents in person.

    It's a complex story, no doubt. We've spent months figuring it all out... poring through government documents, and interviewing the key players. Most investors will never even know this opportunity exists.

    But if you are willing to take the time to learn what's going on, there's a lot of money to be made, very quickly.

    I've explained everything here in these pages...

    A gov't-backed way to get rich

    What is the "Hai Gui" exactly?

    In short, it's a key part of China's latest government-backed economic development plan--which has created an incredible investment opportunity for regular people like you and me, right here in the United States.

    Let me show you how it came about...

    Ever since the 1970s, when Chairman Deng Xiaoping declared that the country's new motto would be "to get rich is glorious," China has been on a tear.

    Thanks to cheap labor, a cheap currency, and government subsidies, the country has become the undisputed manufacturing center of the world...

    Today China produces more than half of the world's shoes, toys, microwave ovens, digital cameras, clothing, and DVD players, just to name a few.

    But now the Chinese government is ready for the next step...

    As the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported earlier this year: "China does not want to make other people's products forever. It plans to start inventing products of its own."

    One of the areas where the Chinese government is focusing most heavily is science.
    ● The Chinese government has implemented what they call the "Eleven-Five Program" (for 2006-2011) to accelerate the country's science and biotechnology industry. They want to create 10 large-scale biotech enterprises with sales exceeding $1.4 billion... and 8 biotech industry bases which produce sales exceeding $7 billion
    ● The government's most important funding act might be the National High Technology Research and Development Program—what's also known as Program "863." From 2001 to 2005, program 863 handed out $400 million to biotech companies... 4-times the amount given out over the previous 5-year period. Over the next five years they'll give away $1.4 billion to biotech companies.
    ● And the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Science and Technology recently established a $13 billion fund to develop 15 national bioindustry bases to push development even further.

    CNTD:

    In short, the Chinese government is giving away billions to new science companies.

    The government-created Beijing ZGC Life Science Park, for example, is a $22 billion project with nearly 50 scientific labs in the private and public sector. And when Shenzhen Chipscreen Biosciences wanted to go into business, they got $2.5 million worth of government grants.

    And that's just the beginning...

    The government REALLY wants these businesses to succeed. So they are offering huge tax incentives (many companies are exempted down to almost ZERO taxes)... land grants... utility subsidies... the list goes on and on.

    For example, when Bridge Pharmaceuticals set up a base in Beijing, CEO Glenn Rice says the company got "big benefits and a 5-year tax holiday."

    The point is , China is essentially creating small, government-backed stocks.

    And you can't find these types of opportunities anywhere else in the world.

    What does this mean for you as an investor?

    Well... the Chinese government did the the same thing for the country's steel industry over the past decade...

    According to a recent report by the law firm Wiley Rein & Fielding LLC, Chinese steel companies benefited from massive subsidies... tax incentives... cash grants... and land grants... which enabled them to triple production from 2000 to 2005.

    So it's no surprise to see Chinese companies in the industry like General Steel Holdings (up 795% since the beginning of this year) or ACH Aluminum (up more than 1,000% since 2003) skyrocketing in price.

    Now it's happening again in the science and biotech industry... and this is where the "Hai Gui" come into play...

    The Hai Gui Secret... Revealed

    The Chinese term "Hai Gui" refers to scientists and engineers who were educated and employed in the United States and Europe... and have since returned home to start government-backed technology firms...
    ● For example, there's a new Chinese firm called Mindray Medical, which develops high-tech medical equipment for hospitals. The company is loaded with top scientists and doctors who came home from places like Cal-Berkley and Univ. of Washington. The stock is up 126% in the past 15 months.


    Shanghai Genomics is a newly-public company started by a 41-year-old biomedical PhD scientist named Ling You, who came back to China after nearly a decade in the United States. As he told the Wall Street Journal recently:

    "I'm here to pursue my dreams. Everyone has feelings about their homeland, to go back to their roots... but business is business.

    "China has the opportunity for you to be superrich. In Silicon Valley in the 1990s, it was the speed of change that got people excited. In China it's the same thing. It's intoxicating."
    ● A handful of Chinese doctors and scientists returned from places like Carnegie Mellon, Yale, the University of Chicago... and after working for companies like Google and Eli Lilly... started a high-tech firm called Wuxi Pharmaceutical. Since going public a few months ago, the company is already up 100%.
    ● Shenzhen Chipscreen Biosciences was started by Xian-Ping Lu, who left his job as a director of research at an R&D center for a pharmaceutical firm in the U.S. The Chinese government made it easy to set up his firm and import high-tech equipment. The government even gave him $2.5 million in research grants to get started.

    Today Lu says: "If we built this company somewhere else, I don't think we'd have such good luck."

    I know... this all sounds great... but new biotech companies are risky, speculative investments, which often don't show profits for a decade or more, right?

    Well... here's the thing...

    The savviest of China's "Hai Gui" have found a loophole that could allow investors to make tremendous gains over the next few years.

    It enables you to take advantage of the tremendous Chinese government subsidies being offered to scientific firms... WITHOUT THE RISKS OF BIOTECH.

    It's a business that is extremely profitable, RIGHT NOW... and is growing profits at a record pace...

    Let me show you what I mean...

    CNTD...

    The safe way to make a
    fortune from the Hai Gui

    One of the great secrets of the scientific community (both here and in China) is the fact that almost every large biotech and pharmaceutical company in the world outsources a large percentage of their research and development (R&D).

    What most people don't realize is that it's the companies that do this work (not the big pharmaceutical firms) that are the real moneymakers for individual stock owners like you and me...
    ● For example, a New Jersey-based drug R&D company called Covance has paid shareholders 657% gains since the beginning of 2000


    A North Carolina drug R&D company called Pharmaceutical Product Development has paid shareholders an incredible 1,299% during the same period
    ● And a Massachusetts-based drug R&D company called Parexel International has paid shareholders gains of 419% since October 2002

    These R&D companies are known in the industry as Contract Research Organizations, or "CROs."

    In essence, CROs run sophisticated chemical tests to find promising compounds. They also do the actual drug trials with test patients, and compile the government-required data.

    And herein lies our opportunity: China's savviest "Hai Gui" are now taking advantage of huge government perks to open new CROs in their home country.

    These CROs are in a real sweet spot because they get all the government backing of the biotechs... without the risks of having to develop new drugs.

    These companies are already making great profits, thanks to their connections with the biggest drug firms in America.

    What's nice for investors is that these CROs are low-risk, high profit margin businesses... they get paid for every test they run, whether it passes or fails.

    You can become an early investor, and make a lot of money over the next few years...
    How to double your money every year

    In China, scientist salaries are up to 80% less than the Western world.

    Similarly, the construction of roads, buildings, and equipment in China costs less than HALF of what it does in the United States.

    On top of that, because the Chinese government wants these CRO businesses to succeed, they are offering huge incentives in the form of tax breaks (some of these companies are exempted down to almost ZERO taxes), discounted real estate and construction costs, and cheap electricity and water.

    What it boils down to is this: Chinese CROs can cut overall drug development costs by 30% or more.

    And since the average drug costs about $800 million to develop and bring to market in the U.S., that translates to hundreds of millions in savings for big drug companies... and millions in profits for the best CROs:
    ● One new China CRO, for example, increased its net profits 452% last year, over the year before. Another CRO increased its net profits 102% during the same period.


    One Chinese CRO has been ranked in the Top-50 "Fastest Growing Businesses in China" for three years in a row... and was even the subject of a Harvard Business School study.
    ● Another Chinese CRO, which does research for AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson, won the international consulting firm Frost & Sullivan's "Asian Growth Strategy of the Year" Award last year.
    ● These companies have already signed huge, multi-million dollar contracts with more than 70 of the biggest and most profitable biotech and pharmaceutical companies around the world: Pfizer, Merck, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, Bayer, Novartis, Roche, GlaxoSmithKline... and dozens more.

    Despite these developments, China's CROs—including international ones—still only "represent a tiny sliver" of the overall market, according Michael Rosen, a senior vice president of The Science & Technology Group at Forest City Enterprises.

    The point is, these are among the newest and fastest-growing high-tech companies in the world... with lots of room to grow.

    And with the backing and incentives of the Chinese government, they can make investors an absolute fortune.

    These companies will dominate this industry for years and years to come—but right now, not 1 in 1,000 investors has heard of them.

    That's why we believe you have a rare opportunity to make as much as 10-times your money over the next few years.

    Some of these Chinese CROs are publicly traded in Hong Kong and Japan. Others are listed (and are even headquartered) right here in the United States. Many of them have gone public in the past few years... and two have even gone public in just the past six months.

    This teaser is really long-winded. As much fun as an anesthetic. But the Chinese-related CROS are worth looking into. The one that won the Frost Asian Growth award is Excel PharmaStudies, which is a Chinese company that has not yet had an IPO in the U.S. Don't know how to buy shares in that one, though it has partnered with Covance (CVD). The one that was the subject of the Harvard Business School Study is Wuxi. I found the study and another related to it that listed the leading CROs doing business in China. Here they are:

    WX Wuxi
    MDZ MDS Pharma Services
    PPDI Pharma Product Development
    PDSI PharmaNet Development Group
    Parexel (this one is being acquired so not in the running)
    CVD Covance

    The other ones are private companies like Quintiles and Bridge. I looked into the public companies, and all of them except Wuxi have aspects that make me put up the caution sign. I like MDZ best, but some of their business involves isotopes, and I just read that there's a looming isotope shortage that's going to hit companies that use them. PPDI has had a major setback with one of its products dapoxetine and is rated D by Schwab. PDSI also looks good, but it was hit with a major SEC investigation in March that I'm not sure has completely been cleared. Parexel is being acquired. Covance does animal testing, which rules them out for me, though not of course for everyone, but on the practical side, they've hit a setback with their plan to open a center in Arizona.

    Here are some cautionary comments from a guy that did a major report on this subject, suggesting that some Chinese companies are not operating in a way to inspire confidence:

    "Chinese CROs are very conscious that cost is their principal source of competitive advantage, their cost management can go too far. A case in point: Executives are anxious to assure potential clients that they make every effort to respect and safeguard intellectual property, but entry to laboratories is still not controlled tightly. Keycard access is used sparingly, and reception desks are often left unattended.

    Another example: Housekeeping standards are not always appreciated. Even in non-GMP or non-GLP discovery operations, it is disconcerting to see used latex gloves lying on tabletops in animal dosing rooms or cigarette burns on the floor. Poor housekeeping will immediately turn off a delegation from Big Pharma.

    Industry has a growing concern that the labor-cost advantage driving Western interest in Chinese drug development services may not last much longer. Labor costs for CROs around major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are rising at the rate of 15–20% per year, meaning they are doubling every five years. In addition, companies often must provide nonwage compensation such as housing and car allowances. Competition for scientists with postdoctoral and full-time work experience at major Western pharmaceutical companies is particularly intense. Some observers believe that the combination of wage inflation and the likely appreciation of the renminbi against the dollar will greatly diminish the cost advantages of Chinese CROs in the next 5–10 years."

    Happy hunting in pharma world!

    Honzjajs / WWP

    The cautionary comments from WWP source are pretty accurate, I have had the dubious pleasure of visiting quite a few CRO's and Chinese pharma manufacturing facilities, as part of my job. While some are certainly better than others, they philosophy is same, cost above all else. Consumer safety is often a secondary or even tertiary consideration. In my opinion, a lot of these Chinese drug companies are an accident waiting to happen, and with the West protectionist tendencies politically, a major incident with any of these, will hugely impact all others ability to sell into the more lucrative markets. Chinese Pharma investments.. handle with care for another 5 -10 years.....

    Godd to find this site! I also received the teaser about the China Biotech company. Not cut in pasted in the one above is this:


    ● The international accounting firm DeloitteTouche ranked this small company among the 50 Fastest Growing Companies in China for the past three years in a row.

    Only 2 have been on this list the last 2 years (could not find 2005 list)

    WuXi Pharmatech (WX) NYSE

    Beijing Jiachenhong Biological Technologies: This company is held by a company called Golden Meditech 8180.HK trading in Hong Kong. There is a pink sheets company of the same name (symbol GMDTF) which looks like the same company. It is difficult to find a chart, but E-trade has one and it looks the same has Hong Kong chart.

    It is my bet that the teaser was about GMDTF, because WX is well known and covered by big US brokers.

    I am going to keep looking around, but would like to hear any thoughts

    Good snooping, fanball -- that's definitely one I've never run across before. Of course, obscure doesn't mean good, though I suppose some folks might feel better about shelling out $5,000 for a newsletter if they recommend difficult-to-trade stocks most people have never heard of. That's certainly a big part of the business plan of some of these newsletters (not necessarily this particular one): find something obscure first that lends itself to a good sales pitch, then worry about whether it's any good.

    Tough one to solve, because he sells the whole industry than talks about one stock than another. Than evens says the report will cover the whole CRO's business and many stocks.
