My luck with the Chinese seat buddies seem to continue on my way back from Finland. His business card has the name Xavier, but for all intents and purposes, he's a Chinese guy. So we call him Jinzhao (金昭) as it is his real first name.
The first impression I got from him was that he's intense. Waiting for our plane to take off, he was constantly writing stuff on his iPad Air. It was only after the plane was taking off and he had to put the tablet away that I ventured to strike a conversation with him, so as to not disturb his note-taking. At first I thought it was some kind of diary of a journey, but he said it was work-related. Who the hell writes work notes on an iPad anyway, before take-off? And I would think he's got a laptop for this kind of stuff.
Well, guess what, Jinzhao is not only an entrepreneur but a young one: he's just 27 years old, two years younger than me.
