Land prices are cheaper in the Chinese metropolis than they are here in Taipei. So are golf club memberships. So Kuo bought a whole floor in a swank building in downtown Shanghai. That's how my thinking went.
Shanghai is a great place.
China's grandest city is the hot topic in glossy spreads in Taiwanese magazines, documentaries on a popular cable TV station and influential business circles. Taiwanese investments in the area around Shanghai have skyrocketed in recent years. It's got a lot of great bars and restaurants. They know how to live. Very stylish, very fashionable.
