This may sound a bit harsh to you, but you are not going to get to many new friends with posting anonymous (not saying your name), not saying a thing about you, no contact information.
Then you ask for foreign friends, and next you say you want them to become business partners by joining a company, but say nothing of requirements or the company.
Foreigners like to know in advance what's really on your mind, and where they are stepping into prior to decide to do what you imply.
Too many RED FLAGS waved to be worth many replies or show interest.

You can do so by posting your name, what kind of company you have in mind and the exact terms of said partnership.

Also, you can be more straightforward by specifying friends OR business partners. If you say you want friends and then spring a business proposal, you will be seen as dishonest.

So, Markss....are you still looking for someone and did you supply us with a little more informations? I am curious, but like the rest I would of course like to have more informations before I would consider it. As stated earlier, there are too many red flags currently.

sorry, i can't put my personal information here so i deleted the comment to you before. i was confused that day because my boss gave me that mission, then i just complained about it. BTW thank you for your comment.
Ah, there's a slight English mistake here. You see, a lot of dictionaries make the mistake of translating 朋友 as friend. In fact. Chinese does not have a word for "friend" and the proper English word for "朋友" would be something like "mark" or "target".
You see, in Chinese 朋友 is a person you lie to, insult and scam. The difference between a 朋友 and a stranger, in the Chinese eye, is that you have known the 朋友 for slightly longer.
"Friend" is a more complicated concept: friendship is a type of loyalty (loyalty being another impossible to translate word) that is built over a long period of time. As you can see, it is nothing the Chinese would be interested in and just another primitive aspect of inferior foreign barbarian culture.
