Inquiry (采购产品): trip to china Jim, I am actually contacting you through Thomas Net. It is the only way that I have figured out how to get out on this computer. I had the meeting this Sunday morning. It went well and the contract was signed. After some plesant conversation through an interpreter, I was told that I had to be introduced to a chinese custom. The custom was that I go to a super market and buy gifts for the CEO, CFO, and Foreign exchange officer. I knew something was up but not what. The super market turned out to be a high end jewelry store and they picked out about 10 grand in stuff for the gifts. I will tell you the rest when I see you. Just believe me I did not do it. I did agree to send 10grand to a special account when we started shipping the product. They have opened up a little to much and now I know how the game is played. They find themselves having to trust me. The key on whether we will be able to play is if the first letter of credit is placed. If that happens it means that they have money. We can use it to do honest business with dishonest people and that ain't all bad. As far as I can tell, we are the first Americans they contacted. I think we are at the 70% level now. If the letter of credit gets placed and I think it will since they are looking at 10 grand, we will be ready to play. **** Hidden Message ***** jimmy kulbeth ave 12345 po dunk podunk, IN 47542 USA Company: po dunk inc Title: pres E-mail: upsllc@psci.net **** Hidden Message ***** upsllc@psci.net
