Q: Can I approach that company for my product purchasing?

I'm thinking of steal some customers from my current company, I found a good supplier who manufacturing same shipping container models as my boss does. But this guy(the business owner of that supplier) was in the partnership with my boss before and they were colleagues before starting companies even.But my boss told me that they ended the partnership for some personal problem.

I am not sure if they still have some business cooperation. I heard boss's assistant once mentioned that guy is not generous, so I wonder why she saies so if this guy has nothing to do with my boss now and the assistant girl just joined my current company one month ahead me.

Can I approach that company for my product purchasing during my employment here? And how about after I resign from my current company?

you asked a similar question before - and i didn't even have to search to find this.

 

this kind of behaviour, i.e. no ethics in business or dealing with customers, exemplifies why non-chinese businesses don't trust or like doing business with chinese businesses.

chinese busineses have a very poor reputation internationally when it comes to confidentiality - your behaviour is a prime example

 

i believe that the only thing you want from posting on here is for people to agree with what you post and not challenge your self-image.

just use a mirror and save us all from your drama (seeing as you clearly don't have any close friends with which to chat to) If you did have even one close friend, you would not post half the sh** you do.

Kramer was well advanced with his quotes .... He 'anticipated' people will eat differently in .... They'll just swallow the pill or they'll be IV-ded (pron. 'aii-veed-ed )  in 2000.

 

You can see IV bottles hanging onto people in China everywhere .... before I came to China, I thought IV is only for the terminally ill.

That must be different-China-medicine (DCM).

It would be wiser to have a new mold made.

 

Get a CAD drawing made from a sample of the actual product, inform them you would like some small improvements to make your new product better than the original.

 

Then find your new supplier who does not have 'some personal problems' and remove any risk of making trouble with your current boss.

Viki87:

Getting a new mold made is wiser but it costes lot to make a new mold and I don't have much money now. Right better not do it now. But what if I resigned from my current company, can I buy from that supplier?

A new mold probally cost around 300000rmb, I'll need several new molds. Maybe I'll have enough money after 10 years later. Nah, I'm not going to wait like that, I'm already 30. I need to do something now.

plastic injection molds are unlikely to cost as much as you say.

Do more research and find out really how much the cost of that would be.

contact some injection mold companies and ask!

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
