Sany: Lessons Learned
Time was always on Sany’s side (and they used it!)
To balance this, we had to formulate unique qualifiers and expirations for land
and incentives.
![Page 61: Importing Chinese Industry to Georgia](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/5448397b8d7f72af1f8b7c01/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Sany: Lessons Learned
Sany’s site selection process was very unique and quite different from most
US or European companies. The process could be quite frustrating at
times.
![Page 62: Importing Chinese Industry to Georgia](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/5448397b8d7f72af1f8b7c01/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Sany: Lessons Learned
The Chinese concept of Guanxi has no true comparison in Western Culture.
You must understand the implications to succeed in Chinese business,
industry & society.
![Page 63: Importing Chinese Industry to Georgia](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/5448397b8d7f72af1f8b7c01/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Sany: Lessons Learned
There are some major visa issues for permitting Chinese Nationals to work in the US, but the companies are also aware of the tax benefits to rotating
employees.
