To be honest, if you are after the money to be made through *connections*... make sure your friends or their family really do have the power required to be in that game.
Through my experience, I have seen wannabes (fu er dai or guan er dai) that are incredibly rich, but their connection have no real value. In a sense that, they have made their money through the connection, and other investments, but that's where the power of their connections end. They can't bring them any further.
And when you enter that world, they compete in a totally different perspective in ways unimaginable. I was lucky to know people very high up in Beijing, and they literally do what they wish with officials from other places (including Shanghai), so be very careful of that.
