Tales of a Chinese Purchaser, Episode 2 (買手的故事, 第2集)

Program Introduction

My friend Simon has worked as a Hong Kong-based purchaser for over 30 years before his retirement. Simon has agreed to record a series of Chinese audio shows/podcasts call “Tales of a Chinese Purchaser 買手的故事” to share his years of experiences and insights in purchasing and working with Chinese factories.

(Note: This program has been recorded in the Cantonese dialect. And I hope to add the ability to subscribe to this show soon and make it a truly “podcast“.)

You can click here to listen to episode 2 of the program in mp3 (or you can download or stream the program here).

In this episode, we talk about

  • The difference in handling manufacturers and dealers/distributors (處理廠家和代理的分別)
  • The complexity in buying something as “simple” as screws (買螺絲並不簡單)
