Yes - meeting the right people is highly important in China. I m not a highly social guy but somehow I make it a point to know the right people in those industry that I wanted to be in either via friends introduction or I attend forums and expo that these people will be speaking at.
There is a saying - "it is not what you know but who you know that will make you successful" well this statement do hold a lot of truth. Graduates from Havard, Oxford and Insead have a better chance at being successful in today's market not because they are the smartest people in the world but because these Universities do produce a few top key people and if you are connected with them you probably get a better shot in life. The way these Universities program their after service such as the alumina is key factor is helping the people communicate and social which in returns creates opportunities.
I once thought that certain people was quite impossible to reach or to get acquainted with but a good friend showed me otherwise ( Thanks ALVIN FOO ). He showed me how anyone is within reach and no more than 6 people you know will know them ( what a theory ! ). He showed me how he used LINKEDIN ( Thanks Linkedin.com ) that helps him propel his status from a PA to start-up mobile marketing company to head of NOKIA mobile marketing and then to Vice President of a listed mobile marketing company all within just less than 24 months.
So knowing the right people is core important in being successful !
