I run a trading company here in Hong Kong
- in partnership with a very close friend of mine, exporting Consumer Electronic products mainly to the European markets.

Products like, LCD TVs from 15" to 42"
Internet radios
DAB ( Digital audio Broadcast)
Micro Systems, Boom Box.
Blu ray disc players

The above are just a few products, that are currently in trend, however in the last couple of months we have experienced a tremendous slow down in exports to Europe.

I am always open to new ideas, markets and products that can generate a long term benefit to both exporter and importer.

This is almost a pure advertisement, and normally, I would not encourage such a posting

However this is a new section, and I want to see GEI experiment a bit, so let's see a few more like this

Also, I know BluRay, and think he is someone that could be a good business partner,
and I encouraged him to post here

What the online sources have been saying about LCD tv's

"The war between plasma and LCD flat-panel TVs rages on, and no doubt you've heard the propaganda from both camps. While LCD has traditionally been more expensive than plasma at the larger sizes, that gap is diminishing -making other factors such as performance and features more significant. We'll take you through the pros and cons of each technology to help you make the important decision: whether to buy a plasma or LCD television?"

LCD HDTVs

Benefits:

• Brighter images. LCD panels offer brighter pictures than plasma, making them great models for viewing in a well-lit room.

• No screen reflection. LCD televisions' matte screens don't fall prey to screen glare like plasma displays do. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, so be on the lookout for that errant non-matte screen when shopping for an LCD.

• No risk of image retention. Unlike plasma, there is absolutely no fear of image retention on an LCD display.

• Slightly lower power consumption. In a world that is becoming more energy-conscious with every passing day, consuming less power is a strong selling point. However, almost every manufacturer-plasma and LCD- is incorporating special energy-saving modes into their sets. Check power-consumption ratings and features before you buy.

Drawbacks:

• Limited viewing angle. LCD TVs' viewing angles are not as wide as plasmas. This means that if you are sitting off to the sides of the TV (or below it), the image may appear somewhat off in terms of color, contrast, and brightness.

• Blacks are not as deep as plasmas. LCDs don't begin to compare with plasmas in the black-level department. However, there are some new LCDs that use light emitting diode technology (LED) to more effectively "turn off" the black parts of the image during dark moments. These models are relatively expensive, however.

I stumbled across the article today, so I thought i would post the link here.

BluRay,

If you pop back in here...
Following are some questions from another thread

I have a few questions:
================

+ What are the minimum size transactions you will do?

+ In what sectors do you operate? You mentioned consumer electronics, will you do textiles? toys?
How about Chinese agricultural exports? Chinese medicines?

+ How do you get paid? What do you charge for your services?

+ Do you have any clients in the UK?

+ How does the buyer pay for the product?

Thanks Dr Bubb, our minimum order quantities are based on container loads 20' 40' 40HQ especially for export of LCD tvs, Micro systems, Boom Box, etc... On DAB + radios we can do a minimum of a 1000 pcs per order.



Our sister company exports socks, underwear, jeans etc to the U.S. markets. So yes we can do textiles. Toys is an option we can consider, and act as agents here in Hong Kong and China for importers familar with this item. The same can be applied for the textiles business.

We would prefer not to get involved in Chinese medicines purely as we have no experience in this field.

We are however developing business partners in India for the import of Iron ore into China, Copper from Tanzania and Tuna fish oil from the Philippines into China.. This is very new development and we are in the process of ongoing discussions.



We work on strictly L/C terms and conditions and deposits in special cases.
We charge a flat commission of 5% which includes inspection charges made through professional & reconized inspections companies.



Currently no.



The buyers can open an L/C to us through their bankers.

A creative range of activities.
If you have any photos of consumer electronics goods you handle, feel free to post a few.

Tuna fish oil into China. I wonder what they use that for?
Cod liver oil, and other fish oil has become a popular vitamin. Are Chinese using tuna oil that way?

No. For cooking.
