Background of Mr. Andy Z. Fan:
Mr. Andy Fan is a prominent Chinese-American businessman with outstanding connections with the Chinese government, long standing relationships with Chinese media, and has a strong fan base in China where he has appeared in various forms of media over the past few years. He was once the interpreter for China's Head of State -- Prime Minister Li Peng. Later, he was awarded a full scholarship to study on the graduate level in the U.S., and was introduced to former U.S. President Bill Clinton by the University President and served as Clinton's Chinese interpreter. Mr. Andy Fan's popular book "Clinton and My Life" has made him an idol to millions of Chinese students, and a well-respected sought-after public speaker.
Mr. Fan is currently President, Director, and Chairman of the Board of AF Ocean Investment Management Company [OTCBB:AFAN]. AF Ocean’s mission is to help Wall Street investors identify and work with respectable and reputable Chinese counterparts and companies and assist Chinese corporations to understand that the only way to benefit from the world’s biggest capital market is through strict and consistent adherence to the rules and regulations that govern companies listed on American stock exchanges.
His nine popular books in China, including the No. 1 best seller in China in June 2011, also make him a frequent guest on TV, as well as being followed and interviewed by media everywhere he goes. He has been on numerous magazine covers, including “Chinese Business Leader”, “China Celebrity”, “China Private Capital”, “World Chinese Businessman”, “Discovery”, “Commerce”, “The View”, among others. To millions of fans and their parents across the country, Andy is their hero and a super star.

In 2009, in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Mr. Andy Fan was chosen to be one of “China’s 60 Role Models in 60 Years”, and his portrait was printed on a Chinese Postage Stamp that same year.
Someday maybe I'll get my picture on a postage stamp. . .

I thought the MO of the CCP was to "withdraw" money out of the SOE's and mainland real estate market so they could reinvest the proceeds in Vancouver, Sydney, SF and LA real estate.
Actually his puff pieces in Chinese are more glorious, believe it or not... he is very good at photo ops. Clinton, Jack Ma..
ReplyDeleteAnd where he designed a MIM104 Patriot anti-air and anti-ballistic defense...
ReplyDeleteHe's not perfect though. I saw him walking across the Yangtse River the other day so I don't think he can swim.
