An idea a day:
50. Develop a online/retail simplified chinese bookshop in HK, selling only translated foregin books.
As both the physical and translation quality of simplified chinese books is improving, and there is no much different when compared to local translated traditional chinese books, except the PRICE, which can be as low as $20-30 RMB for one.
Personally, I dont have much interest in mainland chinese authors, when compared to foregin authors, I think this is also the trends in HK.
You may think that, bookshops in mainland are already selling them, but the books there are only catagorized in subjects, like law, buiness, account, and in there, both local and translated books are scattered among each others, it takes effort to try to spot out.
If there is a bookshop, selling only chinese edition of foregin books in HK, it helps book-lovers save a lot, both time and $$.

Comments:

How about the simiplified chinese bookshops in HK?

The volume of each shop isnt hugh, they can be catagorized as your idea easily.

But what they are selling is not so target and specific. People may not find what they want in the shop.

For this shop, each title can be more specific and more kind of translated books can be sold.

"Vagina Monologues" once was introduced in my university. But it was produced by a Chinese female scholar. I don't know its origin comes from the west. That was really avant-garde, cool!
