The First Complete Description of the Chinese National Business Model
What is the most important information in the world today? China's GDP for last quarter? The price of oil tomorrow? Where equity markets are headed next?
All of these currently depend on information yet more valuable: How does China make money? What is its national business model?
It turns out that, until this week, the only people who had this information were cabinet-level ministers and country leaders in the US, the UK, and Australia - and the corporate members of our INVNT/IP Global Consortium.
How can we be so sure that this information is new? Because we have been personally, and secretly, briefing these global leaders since last July.
We have also been working under an exclusive release agreement with CBS' Lesley Stahl and her producer, Rich Bonin, since that time to create a 60 Minutes segment which many of you may have seen last Sunday. Rich has since informed us that this program received the highest rating of any 60 Minutes broadcast in the last seven years.
Now that this piece has aired, we are making the source of all this information available to all SNS members. We're also releasing it to the public, but they will have to pay much more.
Those who missed the original broadcast of this broadcast, named "The Great Brain Robbery," can watch it here:

Here is additional material from Lesley and INVNT/IP advisory board member (and CrowdStrike CTO) Dmitri Alperovitch:

We think the 60 Minutes team did a terrific job. Although I had to take a miss on an interview with Lesley after she lost her voice during Dmitri's interview just before our NYC visit, we are delighted with the program and think it is the best work the media has done to date on this issue. |
