One of the best business novels I have read - it carries a lot of practical lessons esp in enterprise sales in China. Read it once ten years ago during I-banking days in Asia. Re-reading it now, felt some parts of it more deeply.
Con: Very simplistic depiction of the female characters unfortunately.
An interesting look into office politics in China during the early 2000s (and maybe carrying on to the day).
The story starts off interesting, but the back half of the book speeds up far too fast, with a lot of important points given little time or left unexplained (potentially remedied in the rest of the trilogy). Female characters are also very one-dimensional.
A short novel about sales battles. Both in front of the customer and inside the corporate boardrooms. It's a interesting read and shed some light into the office politics prevalent in China.
