@Simon the ass in China your english is excellent and that is a huge bonus for dealing with western businesses. So you already have a big advantage.

There are many people here on bhw who do dropshipping and from what i can see you are the only person here that speaks english well, has experience sourcing products in china and shipping them.

Set up a jv when you hit 50 posts, offering to source and ship products, it will cost you nothing, i think you will do well on here with that.

Thank you Gringo, indeed. If not in the office i would burst into tears. Maybe i've been under pressure for too long, and too lonly for too long.
thanks to BHW Forums i can speak here.
About drop shipping, i will follow your advice.
In fact, i met many opportunities in my life but i took none, the whole 17 years' life after graduating from University, is like a slave's struggling in all kinds of gambles. ( also includes Futures market)
As export sales person in the first few years, then export sales manager in many different factories in different indurstries, i should have lived a good life with OK earning.
Besides, i had many chances to become rich.
In 2009 i had an ebay seller account, i did it for a few months then stopped, the account reviews was 100% positive, but i didn't run it long because i was trapped in e-gaming room gamble. The account was stolen a few years later just before i wanted to restart it. In 2010 i also registered overseas company, opened account in Hong Kong HSBC, can do trading freely. Then also because of gamble, i didn't left enough deposit in the account, HSBC took account management fees months, when there's no money, they ceased the account. After that , i still paid company audit fee anually for several years, around 300~400usd per year, but, without bank account to trade. (i planned to restart the company overseas account wheni have money, but that never happened)
In 2014~2017, i didn't gamble, as manager of a factory's export dept, i earned good salary and comission. I also had the best chance to earan a Million, safely.
At that time, i can earn over 5000usd monthly for salary and comission. I also have an Amazon account, I promoted the factory's few products (2~3 models, main and all) to Amazon sellers, the sales in Amzon was in millions of USD.
If i sell that item in Amazon too, i can make good money. Because i know tricks of every sellers, i can decide the price, say yes or no to any orders, also the shipment.
If i market those products in Amazon myself, of course i have many advantages.
But guess what? I didn't put a finger on that product. So naive at that time! Good spirit or Stupid indeed? Because there were customers asking," do your factory sell this product in Amazon, too? " " Of course not." i know they didn't want to compete with original factory in Amazon. I did what i said. With 100% control of the product, with an Amazon seller account, with Payoneer card, with PayPal account, all in good condition. I didn't market our products in Amazon, because morally i didn't want to act as the "player and judge" at the same time. I wanted to be fair to all our buyers who sell in Amazon!!!
I kept myself from the Amazon business of our own products. But how Ironic,one year later i found out the factory GM started cooperating with some so called "friends in Shenzhen" . They produce the products in factory secretly (not on records, no tax bills, means they take the advantage of the factory, the Japan head company never knew this)
I found out that only because i go to the production lines frequently to chat with the workers, see the products from time to time.
Then i made one of my biggest mistake in life. I thought, okay, the Amazon market for our products already hit the roof, let me make money in other place.
Because at that period i was well paid, made some deposit, and had plenty of time, i jumpped into Futures market.
The day when UK voted to leave EU, i was short on silver, with all my deposit, later even all my credit card limits (at that time i was in good credit, just a few clicks in the bank's APP, they give you the real money to your deposit account, from your credit card limit. Then you have the false feeling that you can use that money freely.) One of my credit card was by China Merchants bank. Common card, not silver or golden. But due to my previous record, i easily took out 310,000RMB, nearly 50,000usd (at that time the exchange rate is around 6.5 i think), to fight in Futures market.
I think you know the results already.
I was slapped by Futures market. Then with little remaining money i went to Macau.
By the end of 2017, i lost my job, i lost PayPal account, I lost Payoneer account.
 
@GringoMonkey makes a valid point. Although most people find some skills that can help them grow through BHW sooner or later, there are few who can ignite from the word GO. You seem to be that person. You wanna gamble, gamble here. With your most precious possession- Time.

As for friends and buddies, you won't even have to try finding some. Trust me, you'll know. ;)

Welcome!
Hi Sami Mirza, thank you.
You're right, i was that kind person, think, but not GO. In most situations, ecept the most bad habit i have.
I'm not trying to find gamble here. Not at all.
I think my mood is reaching some limits, i was just finding a way to vent, to feel connected......

What part of China are you in? Wife and I lived there for a little over 14 months.
now i live in Dongguan. The city between Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

Who do you want to be and how do you want to feel instead?
haven't thinked about that exact question.
now only feels depression.
of course i want to make money, i want to pay off my debts.
after that i may take a break to rest and think
i want to regain my life, has the power to make up for others.
already, too much of my life has been wasted. All my families' life was wasted by me, too.

Great food in that area. The zoo near Hong Kong is super nice too. Best one we've been to in the world so far.
I think you mean the area near Shenzhen Bay Port?
Yes the buildings there are very beautiful. If foreigners come to China for the first time, they will be shocked. Is this China, are you kidding me? lol

There is a lot of wealth in most areas of China, and the quality of life as a whole is much better than most countries. Where we lived had more Mercedez than any other type of cars - all the money has been handed down from generation to generation, and countryside farmers get millions from the eminent domain from the government.
Very much of a culture shock living there.
 
It's true, but as Trump said most media are fake news. Corrupt media they will not report the modernization of China. lol
Thanks for liking China. :)

Thanks for making duck neck as a snack to eat. Every time we took a train to/from Beijing, we brought a few boxes back home.

i think you bought Zhouheiya, another brand in Wuhan. It has very good marketing. You can buy it at all train stations and airports.
do you know the most famous duck neck brand in Wuhan was Jingwu Yabo? Jingwu stands for the Martial arts hall's name, same in the movie of "the Fist of Fury"
 
Be courageous in this difficult period, there is always light after dark. I hope things get better quickly for you, don't hesitate if you need :)

Welcome to BHW !

Very true, I can attest to China being very very developed. I lived in Nanjing for a year when i was studying Mandarin at Nanjing Normal University. From the subways to the parks to the architecture to old people dancing in the evening, i just found the city to be fascinating.

But much like everywhere else besides America and Europe, the fake news will never show that. Disappointing!
