Entrepreneur Characteristics \u2014 Be Daring<\/h4>\n<p>Dr. Lee-Feng Chien&nbsp;described&nbsp;Vpon\u2019s&nbsp;Founder and CEO Mr. Victor Wu as&nbsp;a&nbsp;daring&nbsp;leader&nbsp;since he was the first&nbsp;Taiwanese&nbsp;entrepreneur&nbsp;who&nbsp;was bold in&nbsp;poaching&nbsp;talent from&nbsp;Google\u2019s headquarter.&nbsp;When&nbsp;Vpon&nbsp;was just a&nbsp;startup&nbsp;7 years ago, Victor led&nbsp;the&nbsp;team&nbsp;and&nbsp;faced&nbsp;numerous challenges&nbsp;when&nbsp;tapping&nbsp;into Japan market. He&nbsp;had&nbsp;once&nbsp;thought&nbsp;of&nbsp;withdrawing&nbsp;from&nbsp;the market&nbsp;but the&nbsp;samurai-spirit&nbsp;of&nbsp;Vpon&nbsp;JAPAN\u2019s manager&nbsp;cheered&nbsp;him&nbsp;up. Victor then&nbsp;bravely&nbsp;decided&nbsp;to&nbsp;invest&nbsp;more&nbsp;and&nbsp;take&nbsp;risk&nbsp;along with expectation from&nbsp;boards of directors.&nbsp;It is&nbsp;his&nbsp;venturesomeness&nbsp;that enables him to&nbsp;gain trust from&nbsp;two&nbsp;large&nbsp;Japanese&nbsp;enterprises,&nbsp;JR Group and JNTO, and turned them&nbsp;into&nbsp;our long-term&nbsp;clients.<\/p>\n<h4>2. The Secret behind Tapping into Japan Market \u2014 Build Trust<\/h4>\n<p>Japan market is like a castle which is easy to defend but hard to capture. The key is to be patient and build trust. With Vpon\u2019s experience, given Japanese are relatively conservative, it will take nearly three years to establish a sense of trust with local clients and partners. Yet, when you have done so, the relationship will last.<\/p>\n<h4>3.
