We spoke many times about business and I would regularly ask her questions about why the Chinese do things the way they do. She seemed to have a very vast knowledge for business in China, so I asked her what her background was . To my surprise it turned out to be business translating , sourcing , logistics and business management.
I thought to myself that this could turn out to be an extremely valuable contact for me to have.
Since then we have become very good friends, I have rented an apartment from her that she owns in Guangzhou, she has put me in contact with many factories and she has helped me with many dilemas that I have faced with factories and so fourth. She also put me in contact with a very successful law firm in Hong Kong which now helps me with many of my business transactions in China.
What grabbed my attention mostly about Angel was her network of contacts in China and ability to source new and good trustworthy factories. I have had many customers in Australia and New Zealand ask me many times in the past if I can source different products for them in China and most of the time the answer is "yes".
But sometimes it is not that easy, so if it is a product I have not yet sourced or developed I know Angel is the one for the job.
The best thing is, Angel does not go and do the job for me she simply does the research to find the factory and do background checks and so forth to ensure they are a good factory for me to work with and then she puts me in contact with them so I am still in control.
Angel, I just love your work!!!
PS - it is just so true what they say in business....
"my network is my net-worth"
