Er, sure. Joint venture is another big

topic for a lot of our matters.

From a lot of cases we have observed,

I think, very critical issue is from

the early stage before you were

even when you start to discussing

joint venture structure for China,

you have to consider future exit,

or kind of that, for both parties.

And because for joint venture, normally

for the short term will be beneficial,

will create a win-win situation

for both parties.

However, in the long-term, you know,

with the development of the market

under the joint venture,

their shareholders or the partners,

they may have different thinking.

Either the foreign company or the

Chinese company, you know, that they

may not have strong incentive to stay

with the joint venture.

Then we have observed quite

regular thing often happened.

So, you do have to consider, you know,

the one situation is the joint venture

would go on for very long-term like

20 or even 80 or longer years.

On the other hand, you have to consider

joint-venture doesn’t work at

a certain point. You have to terminate

the joint venture. And each party should

reserve their option to, you know, buy out

shares or exit from the joint adventure.

We have seen some cases, you know,

when they join partner, when they want

to get married, they were very happy.

They never consider when they broke up,

what will happen.

And then a few years later, you know,

they'll have some problems, serious problem

in connection with the operation of the

joint venture. When there is no

stipulation in that contract, they are

fighting with each other and a lot of

staffing, labor and asset issue.

That is, you know, it's really muddy water.

So, they have to consider the

long-term goal of the joint venture.

And also after the formation of the

joint venture, I think, for the

multi-national companies, it’s very

critical for them to get real involvement

in the operation of the joint venture.

So, in the JV Agreement, we really

advise our client to have authority to

send the general manager, you know,

who has daily supervision roles to

supervise operation of the JV,

to ensure that the development of

joint venture just, you know, track with

the initially designed target.

And also to which degree you're going to

transfer your IP to the joint venture.

And also for the jointly made intellectual

property, who is to own the ownership.

That is another big issue. All has to be

delicately designed and then considered

before the formation of the joint venture.
