[Rhodes22-list] Political - for Brad's Eyes - notrelatedtosailing!

Contact both the Chinese and American Embassy as they have a department that
handles these requests.  They can verify if it is a legitimate company and
whether or not this person can act/make decisions on their behalf.  My
husband and I did this year ago while trying to work with a company in
Taiwan that sold a specialized type of mud flap
My personal opinion is that if they do not have money to invest I would be
concerned on how they intend of funding the business to get it started.
Extending credit from you to them would not be a wise decision.  You would
have no recourse to reclaim any money or inventory losses.  You may also
want to check with Customs to see if they are importing any materials for an
existing business.    Good Luck................Deena

Brad,

I was going to reply to your ss points but got distracted by something
closer to both our homes:

A Cindy Chen from a company that calls itself:
Beijing SYHC science and development company
at Room 313 Agriculture Building
Xicheng District, Beijing

sent me an e-mail expressing interest in doing business with us

We have no money to invest but are very interested in franchising the
building of the boats and suggested our franchise idea to Cindy.  She just
now called me and while she speaks English better than I do, I had
difficulty in hearing and understanding her and she said she would try
e-mail.

Is there any way I can tell if she represents a company of substance or is
just a Chinese Nigeria type outfit, before I take too much time with this
project since the address "Room number 313" gives me some reason for pause.
