Distribution channels for US products in Shanghai

Re: [spiers] Distribution channels for US products in Shanghai

Mr. Spiers,

My brother-in-law who has a thriving forwarding
business in Shanghai, China wants to IPO his company
in the United States. Can you or anybody tell me what
are the qualifications and processes to accomplish
this? Or if you may, direct me to any publications or
web sites so I can research it myself? At last, how
about any legitimate consulting businesses in USA that
could package the process and their service charges?

Thank you ahead for your attention and help.

Good Article

Folks,

At the below website is a very good article by Richebauer at bottom of page...


http://www.dailyreckoning.com/Issues/2005/DR091405.html


One observation he makes...


"In China, however, the specific components are real estate and manufacturing
investment, while in the United States, it is consumer-spending excess. "


Think about this... we have expensive (overpriced?) houses with big mortgages
and the Chinese have overpriced property that they own... USA has and cool
computers and cars and refrigerators... and the Chinese have world class
manufacturing capability. Who is in the better position?


This is a result of Chinese policy taking advantage of USA policy. The USA
is the initiator, in the driver seat. We will not do what is necessary to end
this situation (eliminate the fed), but it does not mean we cannot do well and
do good as this scenario unfolds.

Why don't they just...?

Folks,

OIn addition to reviews of trade shows... I'd like to see good product ideas
offered here... the ideas you get for better products, but ones you know you
will never use since the idea is not in your field. We would offer these ideas
in the hopes someone else on the list steals the idea and is successful with
it.

For example, I have two ideas I would buy if they existed...

1. Cans mounted with magnets into which i can put my spices and stick them
on my refrigerator. The cans should be so shaped that i can read name or see
the spice quickly, and the can should be of a shape to hold various spice jars.
I has rustling about for spices. Actually I steal this idea from a cook who
hand made these, and I'd like som but my wife condemns anything I've made
myself, and with good reason.

2. A whiteboard with 7 kitchen timers attached so i can write corned beef,
and put a timer on for 3 hours... and another timer for the potatoes at 1 hour
to go, and the cabbage onions and carrots at 30 minutes... and cornbread at
20 minutes... 7 is necessary when putting on a big meal so one can set timers
to remind one to start something and check something... the white board
allows you to make notes and remind one what the timer is for...attach a dry
erase
pen to the board. This should have magnets too so it can stick to the fridge.

Go ahead, steal these ideas, and let me know where I can buy it when you get
these on the market.
