FEATURE INTERVIEW
Ran Fridman
Founder & Director, China Help 24

Company founder and director, Ran Fridman, was born in Kiev, Ukraine and studied in Yeshiva in Israel. He later immigrated to the United States. Later again he made aliya. In recent years he moved his young family to Shanghai to start his business venture.

Now with more than 50 trained staff members throughout China, ChinaHelp24 promises that clients needs will be met promptly and in a professional manner but Ran believes the success of his company is the small details.

He plans to use that same model to open VietnamHelp24.com, CambodiaHelp24.com, HongKongHelp24.com and JewishHelp24.com this year providing the same type of comprehensive and reliable service.

PROGRAM INTRODUCTION AND HOST

Shanghai Business

Here, iTV-Asia gets in touch with the ideas behind business leaders in China. Entrepreneurial thinking and innovative business strategies have indeed had an impact on both foreign and local enterprises in China. What obstacles have been faced by key leader leaders in a business environment which is rapidly growing but also clings to cultural practices? How has this impacted the Chinese government and Chinese market? These informative interviews address such issues and bring to light how Shanghai Business has shaped China business news today.
