Business Breakfast for Purchasing from China: How to Start Working with Suppliers Without Fear and Mistake

Working with China opens up huge business opportunities, but for many entrepreneurs, the first step is the hardest.

Fear of losing money after payment to the supplier, getting low-quality goods, encountering a language barrier or making a mistake in logistics often becomes the reason that promising projects do not go into the implementation stage.

However, most of these concerns are familiar to almost everyone who has successfully worked with Chinese manufacturers.

Anastasia Belova, a buyer and specialist in procurement from China, well remembers how she went this way.

Once she was afraid of losing goods and money when working with suppliers, worried about buying yuan and did not imagine how to negotiate with Chinese partners without knowing the language.

Today, the situation is quite different. Chinese suppliers get in touch with each other, transactions are smooth and confident, and international payments have become a common part of daily work.

Anastasia has more than four years of practical experience working with China. She began her journey with the organization of cargo deliveries for sellers Wildberries and Ozon, then moved to container deliveries of electric motorcycles for offline stores, and today she is studying white customs clearance and full certification of goods.

That is why she decided to hold an open meeting for entrepreneurs who are just starting out with China or want to take their purchases to the next level.

What to talk about at business breakfast

During the meeting, participants will discuss the most important issues faced by novice importers.

Topics:

• search for real manufacturers and factories without intermediaries;
• Work with platform 1688 and WeChat
• Quick inspection of the supplier before payment;
• purchase of yuan without extra cost of conversion;
• Communication with Chinese partners without knowledge of Chinese;
• First steps towards legal import and white logistics.

The meeting will be built in the format of live communication without complex theory and formal presentations. Each participant will be able to ask questions about their product, niche or project and receive practical recommendations.

For whom the meeting will be useful

Business breakfast will be especially useful:

• Entrepreneurs who are planning to start buying in China
• Those who already work through intermediaries and want to go to direct suppliers;
• companies interested in switching to legal import schemes;
• Entrepreneurs who want a better understanding of international procurement and logistics.
