Fifteen minutes with the author

One question, one straight answer. If you have read RuDao 儒道 and want to apply it to a real decision — a partnership, a negotiation, a market entry — book a private 15-minute call with Tony Tong 唐仪.

What the call is for

Bring one specific question. Typical ones readers bring:

· How to apply 竞合 co-opetition when a partner is also a competitor
· Whether a deal is 义利并举 — profit and rightness together — or just profit
· How a 儒商 RuShang would price, negotiate or exit
· Cross-border business practice between China and your market

The call is advisory, not legal, tax or investment advice. If your question needs document review, say so in the form and I will tell you before you pay whether 15 minutes is enough.

Terms, briefly

The free call is one per book owner. Proof of purchase or ownership is verified before the booking is confirmed — if it cannot be verified, the booking converts to a paid USD 9.99 session and you may accept or cancel.

Reschedule once at no cost with 12 hours' notice. If the call cannot be held for a reason on my side, you get a full refund in USDC or a new slot, your choice.

Payment is crypto only — there is no card checkout on this page. A transaction hash is required before the call is confirmed; unverified payments are held for 7 days and then returned to the sending address if unclaimed.

The session is a conversation, not a deliverable. No recording is made unless both sides agree in writing beforehand.
