	eStop - So you want to be an entrepreneur?
		Just listen to Jimmy Lai, founder of apparel chain Giordano (which he has since sold), Next Magazine and Apple Daily,the second best selling paper in Hong Kong.
		To ‘Fatty Lai’, a self educated man who sneaked across to Hong Kong at the age of 12 and who built up a media empire nearly the size of Singapore Press Holdings, the most important trait in entrepreneurship is the courage to take responsibility for your actions.
		Jimmy Lai is known to be helpful, but only to friends.

	Urgent reminder of press freedom review for Patten
		It is now more than two years since the Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) first approached Patten and asked him to give urgent attention to the problem of draconian laws restricting press freedom.
		Hong Kong¡¦s free society and free markets will be irreparably harmed if these leftover laws are used to stifle dissent and to punish reporters and publishers who fail to toe the Beijing line.
		Chinese officials apparently took exception to Lai¡¦s description of Peng as, among other things, a ¡§son of a turtle¡¦s egg with zero IQ¡¨, and shut down the Beijing branch of his store, Giordano.

	Asia Times: What's Next for Taiwan's media?
		One issue that Lai has never really had to address in undemocratic Hong Kong is the role of the media in determining public opinion and the way thisarticulates in terms of voter choice and, in the long run, who governs.
		The Hong Kong media can change nothing, criticize though they may. Taiwan's can.
		Lai's run-ins with the Chinese government are famous and cost him his Giordano clothing chain.

		The two most aspirational brands, both examples of efficiency and growth, Zara of Spain and Giordano of Hong Kong made a special appearance at the Images Fashion Forum with discussions on their value and supply chain.
		In his study on Zara, part of the Euro 4 billion Inditex Group, retail and fashion industry consultant Mr Devangshu Dutta contrasted traditional seasonal cycles of several months with Zara& famed delivery-cycle of 15-30 days.
		This is enabled by Zara& trend-spotting capability, the commitment to vertical control of fabrics as well as in-house production capacity, and the quick-decision making mechanisms.

		In 1994, after Giordano under Jimmy Lai emerged as one of Asia's first home-grown multinational brands, it became a Harvard Business School case study.

	eStop - So you want to be an entrepreneur?
		By the year 1999 Jimmy Lai, who came to Hong Kong with two dollars in his pocket, was king of a media empire comparable to that of the Singapore Press Holdings.
		Focusing on a small range of popular apparel with attractive colours selling at low cost, Giordano quickly grew to become one of the top brands in Asia.
		Lai then moved to the highly competitive media business, founded a weekly magazine called Next, followed by the controversial Apple Daily newspaper, which climbed to the number two position in a market of 50 papers.

	Critic of China Is Thwarted in Hong Kong Business Deal
		Lai, who escaped to Hong Kong from China as a young and barely literate boy of 12 during the Cultural Revolution, worked his way from a laborer in a zipper factory to become one of Asia's leading clothing retailers with his chain of Giordano stores.
		So intimidating does China's role in the affair seem to be that virtually no investment firm in Hong Kong would comment on the matter.
		Next Media is owned by Jimmy Lai, a retail clothing entrepreneur and a vociferous critic of China.

	Reason Magazine -- William McGurn
		The idea is that Hong Kong may have had to scrape by in the past, but with budget surpluses surely there is room to spread a little around to the less fortunate.
		"It's not much of a choice," says Jimmy Lai, who has more credibility than most businessmen here if only because he's been willing to pay the price: When he criticized Chinese leaders in a column last year, they responded by shutting down the Beijing branch of his Giordano clothing outlet.
		Since coming to office the Democrats have welcomed Patten's initiatives on spending and upped the ante, calling for everything from comparable-worth (yes, comparable worth) schemes to social security and populist freezes on stuff like the fare increases on buses and ferries.
