So lateto know this place. What I do from 2007 is what you said.

I locate in Shanghai China. Before I worked in SGS for 2 years. And from 2007 I started to do by myself, precisely speaking is SOHO or home office. For during my experience in SGS, I have many contacts for producers mostly in the field of steel, mechinery and wood products. from start of 2007, I have been doing this job - find producers, negotiate the price, control quality of products, loading products to seaports and something else.

2007was a best start for me, I helped several foreign friends tomade about 1 million USD business in China. And I also got good commission that year.

2008 was not so good because of economy storm. Totally just made about 100,000 USD business for my foreign business parters.

Now is the start of 2009, the economy crisis is still spreading. Hope to make friends here, also hope to get business partners here.

Cooperate Together ! Develop Together!

Agreement with western party, for rough example:
