I think for now we’ll keep this intro short, but also Shaina and I will chat a little bit about her Shopee experiences in more detail.
So we can share about that in the outro or in a conclusion. But in China, the government is restricting electricity now. I don’t know if you’ve heard also, Shaina. So yeah, in this interview, we talk about how sellers have been adapting, some tips and tricks for sellers about shipping to the warehouses and VAT. You know, got to, got to catch up to the demands. But then the logistics is still the kind of old-fashioned. Right? It’s a huge shift pushing everybody online. Actually everybody is going into e-commerce now. But now I’m waiting more than one week just for my orders to arrive. You’re noticing delays? There are gap delays because before the pandemic, my order will arrive like five days after I ordered it. Like you’re ordering on Shopee, you’re a Shopee buyer, right, in the Philippines. We were joking a little, well, it’s not a joke. And we, we visited her office here in Shenzhen, China, and I did the interview in her office and it’s a pretty fascinating discussion, you know, like, right. She’s got a pretty massive shipping company called Forest Shipping, which is her name is English. I think it’s a, it’s great to support, support them, and she’s still, she’s built quite an empire. She is a Chinese entrepreneur, a female entrepreneur too, which I’ve been saying is we’re trying to find more female entrepreneurs, especially in Asia. So, so this week’s show we’re going to talk about, we interviewed Forest Zhang.
