Victoria, if you are serious about finding a business partner they will want to see a well thought out business plan showing full details of the company, including working capital, marketing plans, projected cash flow statements and a host of other details as well. They will also want details pertaining to themselves, are they to be an equity partner, what salary are they to draw and profit share details. No partner worth their salt is going to take you seriously without these. Also as KimOnach commented on why should any partner trust you when you are preparing to do the dirty on your existing employer.

On the go to stab your employer in the back already? Why do you all feel the need to put up this kind of stunt (usually with zero reality check) after a year or two inside the same company?

 

And they'll wonder why no one ever trust them.

Shining_brow:

"after a year or two"...???

Vicky, if you do a bit of research, you may find out, that in Europe, the market with erotic toys and vacuum pumps is somehow3 decades old, maybe slightly more. we have erotic shops in every town bigger than 3000 people and they struggle to survive, as one do not buy this kind of things every month, do not say every day ...

 

 Do you really believe, that you will make a boom with something as old as China itself ?

 

Victoria1987:

I did sales to Europe for vacuum pumps.Ppl buy it because cheaper.

I actually know some people that would be interested, but there is no way I would introduce them to someone as unstable and unreliable as you.

sorrel:

stop judging Vicky

you know she doesn't like it when people form opinions about her character based on her questions and answers on this forum. EDIT: it is ok for her to judge us and call us names because we are all foreign and she doesn't like the answers we give her, even when they are useful and good.

Networking would be the best way but most important you have to be SERIOUS. 

 

It needs to be well planned and most likely you will need a proven track record for anyone to trust you. Otherwise, you will have to pay them and forget about a partner. 

 

 

Victoria1987:

I am serious and my working background and connections with Chinese factories are good provement for finding a partner.I got someone lives in the US interested in taljing with me.I will meet him in person to talk and decide.He has clients buying medicine and also want to import something to China.I am more interested in exporting.So I will havebto consider it very carefully.

Buy Low, Sell HIgh. The pinnacle of Chinese economic venture. Almost the entirety of Chinese business for as long as mankind can remember. So, what additional value do you give to the products, besides selling them in another place? What are your projected earnings, and how stable do you think this long-term venture will be? Do you have any knowledge of the products you are buying/selling, or will you simply switch to other products once it's difficult to sell these things? Can you explain to me how your activities constitute a business in any way, rather than just short-term profiteering in a changeable market? What would a business partner offer: Money to fuel your trading genius? I'd hazard a guess and say you know about as much of business as I do, and have nothing to offer investors.

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
