David, if you stay more than 9 months continuously in five years (at least), then you can apply for the permanent resident permit for spouse reunion. If your total investment (your company) is more than USD 1 million, then you can apply for the permanent resident permit for employment.

In Shanghai, the processing time has been shortened to 90 days. I suggest you visit local entry and exit management bureau for further consultation. It's reported that Shanghai has implemented new regulations on this issue.
