All types, I suspect I'll have dozens to filter down to two or three.
When I asked what tool boxes he did so I could choose one to offer to fill the container he sent me pictures of over 50! I chose a small one and we worked out we had space for 17. I said the first 17 got one. We ended up with 170 and 2 containers. Fortunately I had a second sight and increased the price and ended up with £2000 profit on the tool boxes which paid for transport of the goods to 4 UK distribution points (Sussex, Birmingham, Sheffield an Norfolk.
This company is the largest in China. Space rockets, trains, commercial vehicles, cars, medical equipment and of course, among many other products, tools. All sorts of tools for all sorts of trades. Their turnover was $50 billion dollars in 2004.
When I started to deal with them, the first bulk buy was for 300 race jacks (the same as Machine Mart sell) but I'd never heard of them. I knew I could get a Dunn & Bradstreet report but they cost. So I emailed the British consulate in Shanghai and he replied the next day, with disclaimers but told me just how big this company was. I was, therefore, assured we wouldn't get a container full of bricks or no container at all. Mr Ma is a pleasure to deal with but extremely difficult to bargain with. I have spoken to him several times, he's the sales director of the tool division, and he speaks english with a Chinese/american accent. He always finishes his emails and conversation with "have a nice days" He is therefore known as "Have a nice day, Mr Ma"
