‘No port, no life’ at Sime’s Weifang

Efficient and cost-effective: Weifang Port has become a major transit port for bauxite and a major distribution centre for iron ore in central and western Shandong.

The foreign business culture and quiet life in Shandong province have not stopped the Sime Darby team from building ‘guanxi’ for the success of their venture.

IN Shandong province, there is a time-honoured dining tradition that no one wants to defy. The host and his co-host will toast his guests at a round table three times each with local Qingtao beer or/and white liquor that has 50% alcohol content until some get knocked out.
