Why China. Why Now.

The Room You Cannot Enter Alone

China is where products are made, margins are won, and partnerships are forged but the Canton Fair, manufacturer introductions, and insider strategy sessions are not open to tourists or solo travellers.

You already know the opportunity. What you lack is the door: curated access, interpreters on the ground, a mentor who has done this across continents, and a peer group operating at your level.

The cost of waiting: another year sourcing through middlemen. Another fair missed. Another competitor in the room while you watch from Lagos.

This is for the kind of founder who invests in access — not information they could Google.

What Changes After 10 Days

You Don't Leave With Memories. You Leave With Leverage.

Five tangible outcomes — the kind of returns that make the investment pay for itself many times over.

02

A Peer Network That Opens Doors Back Home

Founders, CEOs, and investors in the room with you — curated, not crowded. Relationships forged over campfire networking and strategy sessions in Guangzhou.

Network · Access
03

A 2027 Trade Strategy Built With Dr. Akintayo

Evening sessions on company strategy, sourcing frameworks, and the billionaire habits that turn international trips into ROI — not expense reports.

Strategy · Mentorship
04

Deals You Can Action — Not Slides You Will Forget

Interpreters, guided tours, and on-the-ground support mean you negotiate, not navigate. You return with a shortlist of partners and a plan to execute.

Execution · Deals
05

Zero Logistics Friction — Visa to Airport Transfer

Chinese visa, flights from Lagos, 5-star hotels, daily transport, and greeters at every arrival. You focus on deals; we handle the rest.

Your Host & Mentor

Dr. Stephen Akintayo

Founder, SACH Holdings · Stephen Akintayo Foundation

You're not buying a tour. You're buying into a strategist who has built multi-sector ventures across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and North America — and who has hosted 200+ executives on retreats in Dubai, Qatar, Singapore, China, and the UK.

Dr. Akintayo turns bold vision into structured execution: real estate, business systems, international trade, and the mindset shifts that separate operators from observers.

  • International speaker featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, CNBC
  • Trusted advisor to founders scaling across borders
  • Builder of retreats where participants leave with deals, not photos
  • 8+ years hosting high-ticket global business experiences

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is $9,000–$11,000 worth it?
One manufacturing deal, one distribution partnership, or one avoided middleman often returns 3–10x the investment. You're paying for curated access, live sessions with Dr. Stephen Akintayo, Dr. Cosmas Maduka & Dr. Stella Immanuel, and a peer network you cannot assemble solo. Prefer sessions only? Training packages start at $2,000.
Who is this for — and who is it not for?
For: Founders, CEOs, investors, and real-estate players actively scaling — who want sourcing partners, China access, and high-trust rooms. Not for: tourists, passive learners, or anyone unwilling to invest time and capital into execution. This is a business retreat, not a vacation.
Do I need a visa? Is China safe?
Yes, most participants need a Chinese visa — it's included in your package and handled by our team. You'll have airport greeters, interpreters, curated hotels, and group transport throughout. Our operations team has delivered retreats across Asia and the Middle East for 8+ years.
How do I secure my seat?
Choose a package under Packages and complete secure checkout in USD (Stripe) or Naira (Paystack). Shared Room is $9,000; Private Room is $11,000; Training Session is $2,000; Training Session + Tour is $3,500. Need help booking your hotel, flight or visa? Reach out to us.
What's the refund and transfer policy?
Deposits are non-refundable due to advance bookings (flights, hotels, fair access). However, you may transfer your seat to an approved delegate up to 30 days before departure. See the full Terms & Conditions.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes — payment plans are available on request for all packages. Contact our team at products@stephenakintayo.com or WhatsApp (+234) 816 790 1719 after reserving to arrange instalments.
