Low initial set up cost means it is not a huge risk for investors. It is the perfect thing to start in Iran. On the other hand a Software only firm is pretty easy to set up with a few million $ from Iranian ex-pats themselves. That requires transnationals their money and technology. For example say we want to say build a Chip fab facility. There are many kinds of jobs each of which requires a different type of approach. In order to do so we need investment and technology. No one is going to want to miss out on the new markets in Iran.įrom an Iranian point of view (post IRI?) we need to create jobs. It will take time but not as long as some may fear. Once the USA centric companies see businesses working they will jump on the bandwagon. I was just making a point that if USA is too nervous we can start with China. So in a way they are our friends !!įor Iranians to prosper we need to have ties with everyone. They are willing to take risks and do not really care where they set up their operations as long as it is profitable. ![]() They have full access to global technology as well as money. Many of the companies in China are multi or rather trans-nationals. Their economy is based on exporting to the West without which they will collapse. Their technology is based on Western specially American. Basically China is a third world nation that is working hard to be first world. You made very good points on China and how it compares with the USA. Thank You Golshifteh for saying it out loud. The ubiquitous "yek cheezee behesh begoo deegeh." actually means "behesh dooroogh begoo". We've been under so much tyranny and dictatorship in all this time, that lying now comes natural to us. We have a fucked up culture of lying, thanks to centuries of Islamic social engineering. Only, I'll say it a bit more clear and blunt: Why is it like this? Why do we lie so much? They call it "khaali bandi", as if to lessen the weight of the offense. Iranian politicians call it "doroogh-e maslahati" (strategic lying). Clerics call it Taqiyeh, and actually approve lying. People literally lie their asses off left and right (to ourselves, to eachother, to our teachers), as Golshifteh so candidly explains. In today's Iran, lying is so commonplace that they dont even call it lying. I would for example lie, so that they would let me use the Faculty of Engineering library. The Shrek-3 DVD you bought at Sar-e Gholhak, a lie. Growing a reesh on your face, so that they wont give you any "geer" at your job, a lie.We've all been there one way or the other. The pirated AutoCAD software that ammeh joon just brought us from Iran, a lie. The test sheet we just turned in, a copy (taghallob), a lie. Claiming that Iran is #1 in everything from Science to philosophy, a lie. Telling the basiji patrol thug that the girl next to you is your fiancee (to avoid getting arrested), a lie. The government unemployment rates, a lie. The "Israeli threat", a lie that is 24/7 forced down people's throat. The president is elected on an election of lies. The very act of forced Hejab in the street, is a living lie. The good ole Zoroastrian folk and their goftar-e nik. There used to be a time when lying was one helluva sin. ![]()
