|| Top-Rated Plus Freelancer || China Specialist || Good at collecting and analyzing information || Life-time Billing over USD 150k. Billed over USD 50k for work from hedge fund clients based in the US and Asia; Billed over USD 50k for due diligence-related research projects for other clients; Offering red-flag news monitoring (Weekly update + Instant update on breaking news) for Chinese companies listed in mainland China, Hong Kong or the US. I was born in China and grew up Hong Kong. I graduated from HKUST, one of the best universities in Asia. I've been taking projects through Upwork since 2017 and have earned more than USD 50,000 here. I am a native Mandarin and Cantonese speaker. I speak fluent English and all my work products are in English. My corporate investigator career started five years ago. I have since worked on more than 100 commercial due diligence investigations and business intelligence projects (including Human intelligence or HUMINT), covering greater China and Southeast Asia. I have completed numerous projects in these jurisdictions: China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. I have developed a diversified clientele, which includes a hedge fund and a short-selling research firm. I was the primary researcher (for both desktop research and HUMMIT) of four short-selling research reports that resulted in the significant drop (more than 50%) in stock price of the target companies in 2020. One of the target companies, a Chinese financial services provider, was delisted by the NASDAQ Stock Exchange. Most of my work requires Chinese- and English-language research, it can be further divided into these categories: 1) short-selling research; 2) targeted industry research and analysis; and 3) profiling, red-flag screening, and full reputational due diligence on corporates and high-net-worth individuals. In addition, I use my network in Hong Kong and China to access information and conduct discreet site visits to help corporate clients mitigate risks prior to mergers and acquisitions. I have also completed more than a dozen of market research projects on e-commerce, real estate, renewable energy, eldercare, electric vehicle and the theme park industry.
