Chamber of Commerce
InvestHK Special
Business Luncheon featuring Simon Galpin, Associate
Director-General, Invest Hong Kong, HKSAR Government titled
“Hong Kong – Your Best Partner and Risk Manager in China”
Johnson, I think I have been triple blessed
to have had the opportunity to connect up with you. Thanks so much for including
me at the luncheon yesterday. I took copious notes and wish that Hawaii could be
as business friendly as HK. I learned a lot, made some contacts that would be
helpful for our clients and had a few epiphanies as to the opportunities that
await small businesses if HK is the right place for them. My great thanks and
appreciation! Have a great week-end. J Aloha, Caroline
Johnson, Thank you very much for inviting me to the luncheon. It was informative
and I enjoyed meeting others that attended. You are right about the networking
opportunities. I hope that people will be inspired to expand
their business. The article in the Hawaii Business Magazine was good and that
was another nice picture for your scapebook! Thank you again for inviting me and
thank you for all you do for Hawaii's businesses. Naomi
Johnson: Thank you very much for the
wonderful lunch and stimulating event. Aloha, David
Hi Johnson, Today's luncheon was very well done. I was really impressed at the
caliber of people you had in attendance (Gov. Ariyoshi, Rep. Calvin Say, Paul
Brewbaker, etc.). Wow. Thank you so much for allowing me to circulate PTC's
information about their upcoming conference. As some point, I'd like to learn
more about what you do to see if PTC there are some synergies between your
organization and PTC that we might explore. Thanks again for the invitation and
I'll see you Thursday at Rotary!
Johnson: You are doing great work.
Warmest Aloha, Gerhart
Thank you for having me, Johnson. You are
doing a remarkable job in promoting Hong Kong. I hope your are financially
successful in all you are doing. Honk Kong is one of my favorite cities—perhaps
my very favorite city. When I was with the Hawaii chamber some years ago, I was
the treasurer of the first community effort to get a mass transit system for
Honolulu. We were to be ninety percent funded by our federal government. And
this was to be no matter what the cost. Funding would include overruns. (And
mass transit system are notorious for costing more than projected.) Ten years
later, I was again treasurer of the second effort by our business community to
get a system going. (This time it was with 80% federal funding, but still based
on total costs, not original projections.) We lost this effort by one vote of
the city council. Between these two failed efforts, Hong Kong decided to have a
mass transit system, completed it, and had a very successful system in full
operation. Hong Kong is a remarkable place. They get things done. One of the
things that impressed me in yesterdays presentation was the claim that they are
still using British commercial law. I remember that before the takeover many
were worried that Beijing interference would foul things up, with all legal
documents having to me translated into Chinese. They feared that Beijing
interpretations would create a nightmare for business. It might be good to have
a session by lawyers on this subject to get a current reading and a better
understanding by those contemplating doing business in Hong Kong. Aloha, Bob
Good afternoon Johnson, Mahalo for that wonderful luncheon and great array of
people and subject matter. Mahalo again, Harold
Thank you for a very enjoyable and
informative luncheon, Johnson. It was nice seeing familiar faces and meeting new
ones. The program was very enlightening and I learned a lot about doing business
overseas. I appreciate your kind invitation, too. Sandra
Dear Johnson, Thanks for your invitation to
this fine event that you’ve organized so well for InvestHK. I am sure that they
are pleased with your efforts. You’ve brought together “movers and shakers” of
Hawaii. Best regards, Bee Leng
Thank you for inviting me to lunch. I learned
a lot and enjoyed the presentation. I left at the end of the speaker's
presentation because I had another event to get to. I look forward to future
events. Mark

Dear Johnson, I am truly excited by this
great recognition and the honor you bring to all of us. I am always amazed by
your great energy and integrity in promoting everything that you do, including
TIM School and keeping up your fabulous website and use of technology. You never
give up, I remember the Kent Keith poem you read at one event long ago about
keep going on even in the face of insurmountable odds. I know it is not always
easy down in the trenches but if you do a good job, those above sometimes do
take note, it is a great vindication of all the good you do and all the students
you help and inspire. I am very happy for you and Carmen. I can hardly wait for
great celebration event. An auspicious beginning for year of the rat, the cycle
of beginnings. Three Cheers, Juanita
Hello Johnson…Congratulations, I certainly will save the date. I’m afraid Percy
has office hours at that time and would not be able to attend. Life is full of
choices. You have made good choices and are living a full, positive, productive
life. You can’t eat it, but this life you are living is the “beef”. Don’t ever
confuse money and power with success. They can be tools to help you be
productive, but should never be the goal. Carolyn
Dear Johnson: HEARTIEST
CONGRATULATIONS on your winning the SBA Award for Minority Businesses in Hawaii!
See, I told you I knew what to emphasize in the letter of support.... You are
highly deserving of this award for all you do in our community. If I am not out
of town, I will plan to attend your lunch at the HHV to see you receive this
significant honor--a new milestone in your life. Aloha, Chuck
Hi Johnson, Congratulations on this
magnificent award. I remember one of the things that really impressed me about
you was your contacts, your successful follow through and initiative that you
provided during the planning and execution of Chuck's birthday celebration at
the RHH. I certainly enjoyed reading your email message, am honored to receive
it and informed about your award. and opportunity to meet President Bush. I look
forward to attending the luncheon on April 30th. We will be away from March
26-April 17th. Congratulations again. Aloha, Joanna
My dear Johnson, Congratulations! I am glad to receive such good news. I pray
that you will carry on with your good work and gain more prizes and recognitions
for your effort. It would be great for me if I could be there to attend such a
great event. However, we just cannot go wherever we wish to. Religious Priests
have no such freedom. I will be with you in spirit and prayer, that the Good
Lord will keep you always in His loving care and protection, especially in this
most competitive and materialistic world. Take care and do keep in touch. Make
sure to let me know when you are in Macau. Fr. Lionel Xavier OP
Congratulations, Johnson! Very
impressive! I will note the date and try to be in Honolulu during that period...
we'll discuss all and schedule. Thanks, x Corey

the article and was very impressed with all the things you are involved in.

in. Again, congratulations on a well deserved honor. Harold D Sasaki

DEAR JOHNSON CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WELL DESERVED AWARD THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR
SUPPORT AND WHAT YOU DO FOR ALL OF US, ESP TIM. ROBERTA
Congratulation Johnson! Rosaryhill
School, your friends and family are proud of you in receiving SBA Award in
April, 08. Due to the pre-scheduling, Robert and I will be out of town during
that period. Sorry we are unable to attend your award luncheon at this time.
Have a good celebration party! Antonia
Congratulations!!! I not surprised by this honor and recognition you so deserve!
I know how you feel about wanting to share this with your parents, they really
do mold us into the individuals we become as adults. They would be so proud of
you, but keep in mind that they were always proud even when they were alive. I
will definitely be there at the luncheon, please send the details on how to
register. Keep up the fantastic work you continue to do. Warmest regards,
Johnson!!! congratulations...i think
it was not a coincidence that you were on my thoughts early this morning on my
way to an appointment. i could not hold back tears readi
and, without a fraction of doubt, you fit the parameters of this award to a tee.
as stephen expressed, it is our honor to receive your invitation to celebrate
this monumental achievement. though sweet carmen might ask 'where's the beef,' i
think you have learned money falls way down to the bottom of the list when it
comes to priorities and your commitment to individuals. though your father
taught you well, it is still your own decision to exercise a passion in anything
you do and to find contentment in serving others as your true reward. anyone who
can fit serving their community, along with their own goals and demands for
success, is such a selfless person. we will be there to celebrate in spirit with
you even if we are not there in physical presence. thank you most sincerely for
blessing us with your friendship. luv, susan
Congratulations on the this award and all of your achievements. It is a high

until evening of the day of the luncheon and will not be able to attend. It is

your life. Stephen

there. Elton
Johnson: Congratulations. I would be honored to attend your celebration on 30
April. Thank you, Dennis
Johnson, Congratulations. Well done!
And words well said. And this is the BEST part: &You have to love what you do
and do it well with passions. If you do it only for money, it is not the right
way....you cannot work with your partners or associates that you have to always
watch your back, lack the integrity .......say or do things that could do you
harm& Just love it. Paul
Dear Johnson, Congratulations! Thanks for sharing the great news with me. I

“An Update of the Business
Climate in China”
Opportunities Niches for Hawaii China Business? By BRENDA LEI FOSTER, PRESIDENT, American
Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai
Thanks for organizing the luncheon
talk today. It was highly successful and I learnt a lot. Bee Leng
Thank you so much for today's speech, I think this is the best so far about
China topic event, I realize no one leave early and no empty seat, this
never happen before, you did excellent job, so does Johnson, Dean Gee and
Yen's MC, it told us China is hot, I saw so much old friends which I didn't
see for years. The event run very professional, Brenda's next speech we need
find big venue. When we have lunch in China town month ago, we talked about
this, now it is real, I total believe HKCHcc &get job done& slogan. Have
safe trip, I will come to Shanghai end of May and beginning of June. Hope
see you there. Michael
Johnson, it was an awesome event!
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this event, and
congratulations on its success. I hope that we can work together in the
future. Vance
I second what Johnson and Michael
said. Chuck was correct today. No body in Honolulu knows about China as much
as you do. You are there at the &front line&. You have all the hands on
information plus the benefit of all the research Am Cham does. What a
fabulous speech you made! Did you know the entire banquet room was very
quiet and everyone was listening intensely and trying to digest all you have
said. Yes, we could have listened to you for another 2 hours. The event was
extremely successful because of our outstanding speaker. By the way, many
people who were turned down due to the venue capacity, asked if the speech
was recorded. I know Jay recorded it. But, by any chance, you could share
the script or your speech, or part of it? I am sure many people would
appreciate it and benefit from it.
A couple people who could not be there wanted me to pass on their hellos to
you. They are Hope Staab of Wo International and Charlotte Vick now in
Texas. Have a safe journey back to your other home. Thank you again for
doing so much for HKCHcc, the State of Hawaii, and the children and women in
China. Much aloha, Yen
Thank you, Johnson, for a great program and speaker. I only wish I had taped
Brenda. Do you know if I can get a transcript of her speech? It was so full
of good information but she spoke quite fast and I could not write
everything down. Warm regards, Lei
Nice, job, Johnson. Richard
Thank you very much for the opportunity. I really enjoyed the event and the
speech was very interesting. I hope I can help you also in the future. With
Aloha, Ildiko
Congratulations on a most
successful forum. Your hardwork paid off! Let us think of collaborating for
another speaker in the near future. The momentum is there and let us seize
the opportunity! Rosita
Congratulations on your event, Johnson! Wish I could have been there. Brenda
is one of my favorite people. Steve
The recorded presentation is very
clear. This is a really successful event. Thanks, Johnson. :) Jiabao
Please also keep me updated on the next event you will be hosting and make
sure to include me in your email list. I like what I saw at the last
seminar, Oliver
As you have everyone on your
server, I thought I'd use this expedient way to extend my own
congratulations to Brenda. Yen, I echo your eloquent sentiments about
Brenda's performance in spades! Brenda, you did an outstanding job and as
Mike Zhang noted, no one left--as they usually do--when we ran overtime. I
heard many compliments about your presentation which had so much data and
insights, the only regret being a lack of time to get to all of the
questions. As you could all see, I was standing next to Brenda fidgeting in
trying to end the session, but there was always another hand waiting to pose
another question. Johnson, you did a trojan's job in organizing the event. I
hope you did not mind too much my giving you more work about producing a
printed program. Meetings are always about details, and yesterday everything
came off like clockwork. I am glad you thanked helpers who took care of the
registration. Thanks, Yen, for introducing me so nicely. As I said, emcees
don't usually get intros unless a meeting is high-level government requiring
all kinds of protocol. I still remember when Lady Margaret Thatcher had to
be introduced at a PATA conference when I was program chair. We had to introduce the introducer
to Lord King, who was part of the official Thatcher party, charged with the
task of introducing Mrs Thatcher. By the time everyone was done, we used up
nearly half an hour. After Mrs. Thatcher's spellbinding talk, I followed her
on the podium when everyone was awestruck with that formidable lady's
presentation--not something anyone would want to do voluntarily. Yesterday's
educational forum is perhaps what HKCHCC can do best as an organization with
limited resources to accomplish our goal of promoting business, trade and
amity between Hawaii, China and HKG. The previous two HKCHCC for a sponsored
by the HKG Economic Trade Dev. Office in SF were also well received,
distinguishing us from others. Congratulations to all who helped make this
event successful, especially our valued board member, Brenda. Chuck
Johnson, Chuck, Yen and Michael: I want to thank all of you for your nice
comments about my presentation although I am not sure they are warranted. I
always enjoy speaking about China in the hopes that I can give a somewhat
more realistic presentation of business on the ground here than what is
normally reported in the press. I arrived back in Shanghai last night. I
will look forward to seeing you all in the near future. Thank you again, for
everything you did to pull this event together. It was greatly appreciated.
Aloha, Brenda
Thank you for the program with
AmChamber-Shanghai Lunch, well done. I think you could have sold another 50
seats. We should do a few of these type of programs for the DEC as a way of
raising awareness and funds. DJ

&Hong Kong and Hawaii : Countable Islands,
Unlimited Opportunities&
Miss Jacqueline Ann Willis, JP
- Hong Kong Commissioner for Economic and Trade Affairs
Johnson - Thank you for including us in this
great event. You, your entire organization, did a terrific job hosting the
Commissioner. I told the Councilman of the large and diverse audience and of the
opportunities presented. He again stated his regret that he had to speak at
another event and could not attend but is appreciative that I could represent
him. Thank you for keeping us in touch with your organizations. Willes
Mr. Choi, Thank you for letting us experience
your Spring Business Luncheon. It was very impressive. The kyenote speaker, Miss
Willis was inspiring. We would like to learn more. Thank you, Harry & Eleanor
Dear Johnson, Aloha! Thank you so much
for the invitation to Thursday's lunch! I had a great time and it was a classy,
enjoyable, informative and smoothly run event. Let me know if there are ways
that I can be supportive. I'm looking forward to seeing you all over these next
two months. With much appreciation, Ray
Dear Johnson, I learned a lot from Ms. Willis’ talk. Thank you very much for
your kindness and hospitality. Teri
Aloha Johnson, XieXie for a great
program. Job well done!!! DJ
Thank You! Keep up the good work! Anthony
Dear Johnson, This is just a brief
note to let you know how much I enjoyed hearing Mike Rowse and Jacqueline
Willis. They provided some great information on HK. Mr. Rowse is the funniest
and funniest-looking Chinese guy I've heard to-date. Thank you for giving me and
other members of Honolulu's private and public sectors the opportunity to hear
them. Aloha, Ron
Johnson, Thank you for including us in yesterday’s Spring luncheon. I enjoyed
hearing the highlights on how H.K. is expanding services. Lunch was delicious
and I appreciate having been included. Again thanks and have a grand week-end.
Aloha, Caroline
Johnson, I agree with you 100 % that
the U.S. Media is biased. It does not tell everyday Americans what is really
happening in China in terms of the rapid modernization and business growth. The
Germans, French, Koreans, Japanese and Australians have moved their business
structure into China through their investments. Large multinational companies
from the U.S.have already been here since the 90’s. Hawaii needs to provide some
business value which is core to the Chinese business model. It is difficult
because in Hawaii we lack a lot of things necessary for business incubation:
high taxes, expensive real estate to own or lease, lack of manufacturing base,
lack of major U.S. Distribution network access, lack of large consumer market
and lack of finance capital for business incubation. Good luck. Best, Russell
Johnson - Since you left HKBAH 5 years ago as President, they no longer promote
HK...all they talk about is China...The only time they mentioned HK is when they
do the installation banquet as they know HK Government officials are
there...they should changed
the name as you understand how businesses need to be done. Daniel
Johnson - I must thank you again for
inviting me to yesterday's luncheon. Miss Willis' presentation was most
interesting and followed nicely your own talk. You are doing an outstanding job
of making our business community more aware of opportunities in Hong Kong. You
are an ideal spokesman and are sure to have a positive impact. My
congratulations and aloha, Bob
Thank you for doing such a great job at putting together these events. Maybe one
day we do lunch downtown? Ciao Ann
Johnson, Thanks for the invitation to
today’s lunch. You have done an incredible job of increasing awareness of
business opportunities that exist in HK and the rest of China to Hawaii’s
academic and business community. Thanks for all that you do for all of us to
make Hawaii’s economy more diversified. Regards, Bob
Hi Johnson: Thanks for inviting me to the function yesterday. good turnout! Hope
all is well with you. cheers, lena
Dear Johnson, Thank you for your
invitation. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Please let me know of future events.
Thanks! K PS: We missed you at our Lions Club. Lion Ernest Chang will be Club
President. We can do a lot of things for our community especially with your Hong
Kong China connection. Please let me know how can I be of help in your
association. Mahalo!

informative and was a good networking opportunity. Thank you once again. Angie

presentation and luncheon. I learned a lot, and will be doing business in HK
someday. Julie
Aloha Johnson, Thank you for providing the inspirational luncheon today. I’ve
made some new contacts in my field of entertainment. I hope a way is found to
aide musicians travel to the territories sharing the musical traditions. Wishing
you all success in your endeavors this year. Warm Regards, Sahra
Johnson, Again, thank you for
including PAAC on another successful luncheon program. I am sure our members
appreciated it. Aloha, Lisa

Kong...Looking forward to seeing you soon with Corey! Thanks again! Aloha, Anne

course, I am happy to pay for her (or both of us, for that matter). & is

making a enormous difference! Sincerely, Nathan
Mr. Choi, Thank you very much for organizing such a wonderful event today, and I

At & Printing Company we are always looking for sources of paper. We are
particularly interested in paper manufacturers in Hong Kong and Mainland China.
If possible could you provide us with a list of Chinese paper manufacturers that
produce paper for commercial printers. Any information would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.
Dear Johnson, Thank you again for
sponsoring me at today’s luncheon. Mike’s talk was very insightful in that a
client of mine is considering very seriously opening an international bank in
Hong Kong. Was Mike’s talk recorded and available for purchase on CD or tape? I
would love to be able to share it with my client. Aloha, David
Dear Johnson, Congratulations for a highly successful luncheon program tonight.
The speaker was indeed something else! He combines British sense of humor (or
humour) with down-to-earth Chinese practicality. The result is memorable! I also
want to congratulate you on the excellent overall organization. I can see now
why you are such a successful person. With much aloha, Saleem
Dear Johnson, Thank you so much for
inviting all of us for the luncheon today. We had a
wonderful time! The speaker was really good! Congratulations! Best wishes!

in HK and China at large and to network with the local and international
community of executives. Their feedback is very excellent and positive. It is

featuring Mike Rouse. We all enjoyed it and received a very passionate view
about Hong Kong. Take good care and thanks for all that you do for our
community. Glenn M
Thank you Johnson for all your focus and hard
work to getting such a good crowd at the event which I realize contributed to
Mike Rowse having such a great forum -- since he came from not that easy a plane
ride, it's great to have a packed house and that's what you did! Mike and I have
exchanged emails already and I look forward to one day seeing him in a trip to
Hong Kong. Ciao! Ann
Johnson, Thank you for your hospitality and
aloha! I enjoyed hearing Mike Rowes’ speech and especially liked the Q&A format.
