Interesting Job

Our neighbor's daughter is dating a China sourcing agent. Well, the mother never stopped talking about him during the weekend picnic. With that, I became curious what a China sourcing agent does and I found some good information about it online. It is about full sourcing services, a provider and supplier for chain advisory firm and they have agents who help in the process. So that must be his job? I wondered endlessly. Helping companies around the world develops and maintain successful sourcing programs directly with Chinese factories that capital less than necessary. So, Mr. Sourcing Agent comes between the Chinese factories and the company in need, and helps both parties in a win-win deal. So doing, he and his company earns too. Wow! I think that is quite a heavy task and I bet it pays more money.

I wonder if China sourcing agents should learn to speak Chinese or Mandarin. Because come to think of it, these sourcing agents deal with Chinese and they are the type of people who trust business persons who know how to speak in their language. Holds true for most Chinese business persons I know. Well, learning more than one language is indeed an advantage, and Chinese or Mandarin is one language that one should not miss.
