Referral told me to contact him with his permission, what should I do?

Hello everyone,

I got referred to a VC Senior Partner, who was on a business trip in China. My referral introduced me to this SP through email and wrote to him "with your permission, he will contact you upon your return from China". Unfortunately, I have not heard from the SP for a month and hesitant to write him an email, because my referral did say "with your permission, he will contact you upon your return from China" during the introduction. I also know that gmail can be very hard to access in China sometimes, so there is a chance where the SP never read the email in the first place. What should I do now?

I know this might be a silly question, so I appreciate the time you guys took to read this and thankful for any advice you guys can offer.

Just email him. Its just an email.

True. I just don't want to mess up, since he is my only contact so far.

Thanks for your help

He has hundreds of emails per day so your email might get lost. Just send him a short follow up (so that your email will pop up in the front).
