The process shows the characteristic of Chinese context that “Guanxi contract” promotes the join. Furthermore, Chinese entrepreneurs’ circle generates strong-ties mixed with profits and affections, which may successfully acquire heterogeneous resource. Accordingly, this paper proposes the framework of formation mechanism.
