the company I work with would like to buy directly from China, so plan a trip
We would prefer to buy our lights (various kinds) directly from China instead of going through someone here in the U.S. We'd like to visit a few places where the quality of workmanship for lights and other electrical needs is good. Any suggestions on companies or areas we should visit? One of my good friends I went to grad school with is Chinese and lives there and said he'd be interested in helping us too (being involved as our Chinese liaison. But which Visa to we apply for, an M (which is difficult) or L or one for just visiting? i will be traveling with the owner of the company and the business attorney. Once we find the company we like in China, we'd like to do a "drop ship" company with them. Kindly advise what is best for us.
