Come to China with a Frenchman who lives here.
Leave with your suppliers.
Guided 3 to 7-day trips across Guangzhou, Foshan and Shenzhen. A Frenchman on the ground plus a native French-Chinese partner. Markets, factories, live negotiation.
A French friend you trust + a native Chinese negotiator. A combination other programs don't offer.
Other programs give you either a Frenchman running tourist tours, or a Chinese sourcing agent working for hidden commissions. With us you get both at your table: a Frenchman based here to reassure you and explain the codes, plus a Franco-Chinese partner who negotiates with factory owners in native Mandarin. You're never the one guessing in the dark.
Three reasons 9 out of 10 founders get China wrong.
Alibaba is Russian roulette
Beautiful listing, ghost factory, 40% scam rate. You find out on delivery day.
You don't speak Chinese
Without the language and context, you negotiate blind. The "foreigner" price is double.
You don't know the codes
Hierarchy, trust, rhythm, meals, the "polite" price. You don't invent this. You live it.
Two partners. One mission: make you autonomous in China.
We built this program because we saw too many European founders get steamrolled on Alibaba, pay double, and leave empty-handed. Together we cover what no single agent can: the trust of a Frenchman who knows your starting point, and the native negotiation of a Chinese partner who knows your destination.
