Registered Charity
SHANGHAI BUSINESS CLUB e.V.
Registered Charity for Cultural Exchange
The Concept
The new concept in Berlin: “Everything under ONE ROOF” for business development by the CHINA BUSINESS HOUSE is accompanied by a registered charity for cultural exchange. It helps to understand foreign cultures and supports partnerships between different social groups of the People's Republic of China and Germany. The essential advantage yields from the combination of both houses in an entire framework, which guarantees the high-ranking quality of cooperation between ministries, enterprises, and organizations.
With the SHANGHAI BUSINESS CLUB e.V. an exquisite meeting point is available for a circle of selected members, following an old Chinese idea: The expression CHINA is derived from the first dynasty QIN – pronounced as TCHIN – but over the centuries the inhabitants called it TIAN XIA: “Everything under ONE ROOF”. This meaning especially shows the path for the SHANGHAI BUSINESS CLUB e.V., to understand globalization under ONE ROOF. Globalization can not be developed without CHINA.
There are unlimited possibilities for successful development and design of cultural, social, and business relations with the vast country TIAN XIA: “Everything under ONE ROOF”. However, they only get visible and useful on basis of sound long-term support. So, also the HAN dynasty organized the first caravan to the west, starting in the city of CHANG´ÁN more than 2000 years ago, which forged the first link and the first step to globalization. LI TAI-BO (poet around 700 AC) created a poem to accompany the hermit TSAI, where the first verse stands for the idea of sociability in our rooms: “Now that I entered the ship Infinity, my rudder brushes any sky”.
