I wrote about this documentary ages ago about 3 brits that risk it all to go and invest their money in China. Well today I found it on youtube so i thought i would post the 1st part up.

This documentary introduces you to 36 Year old Tony Caldera and his failed Mersyside cushion business. He is taking his operation to China in a true if you can’t beat em, join em. He has borrowed £2 Million to build his factory in a paddy field.

You also get to meet 70 year old Peter Williams who has spent all his savings on an energy saving switch for aircon units. He risks everything to sell the device to the Chinese with hundreds of millions of aircon units.

My Favourite though is Vance Miller aged 42, the kitchen gangster from Rochdale. He has been all over China to get his kitchen parts at rock bottom prices. He is a character, really funny, but also has nerves of steel (watch part 2 and the quarry)

That was great. My favourite is Vance too. He’s really hands on and had the most set backs. His persistance and street smartness got him through. Also his son is getting the best education any kid could get!
