MBA Real Estate/MA Economics Series 63,65,82/Chinese Speaking Eric Yao, MBA Real Estate Pacific ProPartners www.eb5-advisors.com Tel: 626 362 0202 Continued from page 114 the distinct regional differences between, say, a white-collar professional in Hanoi versus the self-made entrepreneur in Da Nang. Each market and type of investor must be handled differently. It may make perfect business sense for an agent or regional center to throw a large seminar in one region—one that would never work for another region.  We will continue to adapt based on the lessons we learned this trip to better serve our clients throughout each region. Understanding culture is especially critical in Vietnam, because translations may lose out on subtle nuances, or be incomplete when there is no equivalent word that can accurately capture a person’s emotion. During this past week, I was surprised how often a ‘correct’ translation from Vietnamese to English may provide the right words, but loses a person’s tone, intention, or regional culture. For example, an initially hesitant investor may actually be worried about providing adequate financial and parental care for their child in the U.S. Events like this help form a bridge of cross-cultural understanding that not only strengthens the industry, but also equips and positions industry stakeholders for success.” One of the key aspects of our events highlighted above is the “bridge” we aim to build between industry stakeholders. We aim to unite business immigration professionals through top-notch educational panels and quality opportunities to build valuable relationships. This is a goal that we continue to keep at the forefront as we plan our growing calendar of EB-5 networking and educational events. ★ Law Offices of Fariba Faiz LLP A firm focusing on immigration and global mobility We provide EB-5 clients with integrated solutions and personalized service with a holistic approach, not isolated advice.
