The China trip was a formal business trip which included Murry, Duncan and Murry's wife. The result of it was very impressive according to Chad Lewis, from Waco Texas. Here is part of the news release put out upon return:
The meetings, arranged by Launchpad Asia, LLC and NAI Interactive, were crucial in establishing St. Elias as a bona fide operation for Chinese investors to consider, said Chad Lewis, Launchpad Asia’s managing director of North America.
“By meeting with officials ranked this high in the system, we were able to secure approvals for investment companies across China to look at St. Elias for investment as well as secure approval to apply for listing in Asia,” Lewis said.
The meeting’s impact was almost immediate, Lewis said. By the time the St. Elias delegation returned from its trip, Launchpad Asia had fielded more than two dozen inquiries from Chinese investment firms and brokerage companies seeking meetings with St. Elias.
