Jack from CHINA tractor factory, say hello to everyone here

No bites on his fishing expedition.

My gosh:thumbdown: Maybe you should consider that Jack has to pay extra to connect to this site, lives in a Communist country, may be risking endangerment of self, family or job by making some of the statements he has made. He also, in good faith, gave us some insight into his life and living conditions, answering numerous questions initiated by TBN members. I wonder if you were in his situation , would you have been as honest , eloquent and brave as he has been The language, cultural and political barriers he faces are formidible, his attitude and approach...admirable.

Texasjohn...I agree...:thumbsup:

Could well be. I think he admitted that at the start. A very friendly guy.

Since most sales begin with dropping the hook in the water, I think we all wish Jack well.
He's doing his job, but perhaps a little over his head in trying to penetrate a well served market.
If I were him, I'd look South. Sell a bunch of mudder or rice oriented attachments. Just like there are specialists
in Kubota's BX model, for example, let his company be a specialist or innovator in one of the Chinese tractor brands.

The buyers from Tractor Supply and Northern Tools are very familiar with the Chinese market. And it's not hard to track down reasonably
priced US made ag equipment coming from smaller companies. My Long grapple is a good example. ETA builds some of their own stuff, and rebrands others.
Now if Jack could show an interesting product or market advantage to Ted, now that would be a home run for him. Most retailers have to carry a low price line, which are typically high volume and allow the upsell to a more capable, more expensive model. What I think is really cool is that you can buy reasonably priced US made implements. We've lost so much
manufacturing capability in this country, it is heartening to see a whole US commercial manufacturing segment operating successfully.

Now if we were considering an Italian Caroni, which I think is rebadged into some brands here, do we have a higher confidence level? Yeah, Ferrari built my tiller...must be good.

I have spent some time using Google Maps/Earth to zoom around China. The size of their cities is remarkable. Jack, you have a lot of potential customers much, much closer to you.

But Jack, if you get an American company to rebrand your products, best wishes.

I think one of the bottom lines here is that the US hesitation to buy Chinese products like this would almost disappear overnight
if the Chinese government required all workers to receive the equivalent of the US minimum hourly wage. Then we really do have a more level global market, and one not dominated by extra low prices obtainable only by keeping workers near the poverty line.

So Jack, you fix those two things, the copying part and the super non competitive wage system, and you
will surely get a big raise! Actually you would probably get a Nobel Peace Prize for accomplishing that.

Some may have missed the news of the last week or two as to how USA internet firms have been taking actions not all countries approve!

Red China has prevented Internet access in the past. Perhaps the Exchanges between Red China and Washington, regarding Snowden, has had an effect on the communication restrictions?

haha, I miss you everyone. I still visited here every weeks. I'm now more busy than before. All of my business are on the good ways.
These days, I'm busy in making and updataing our new manual. When I first came to this company, I found we even didn't have any manual for customer, more terrible thing is: my boss even don't think this is a problem. OMG !!!!!! In the past, in this agri implement industry, these work were done by foreign local dealer or distributors, so these Chinese factory don't think this is really a problem. After discussing this with my boss, seem now only I can make manual in this company. Then these weeks, I put most of my time in making manuals. I estimate to finish them in the end of July.

Here is a news for my friend. He intend to join this business. Last month he already registered his company in USA, and several months later, his products will come to USA market.

And registered a company in USA is much easier than I thought.

Snowden is a clown, I think

hahahaha, Nobel peace Prize. I think we should grant this to anyone who can build a real democratic system in China.

I hope that last post by Jack didn't cause problems for him. Nothing since then anywhere...
Wouldn't it be awful if his expressing his common man dream for a place of his own has gotten him in the censor's web?
And more so, a dream of possibly a place here, not there...

thank you and don't worry about me. My manner of words is common on Internet of China. much more angry people on Chinese Internet
