This is not an advertising slogan of a global logistics operator, but the time spent presenting topics related to conducting business and trade with China.
DHL Global Forwarding invited nearly 100 business representatives from Greater Poland, Lower Silesia, Masovia, and Pomerania to Poznań for a tour of China. The main theme of the meeting was the issue of effectively conducting business while importing from China. The presentation was opened by Darren Chong, an expert from ConnectAsia, who presented the attendees with a compendium of knowledge regarding China and business practices applicable in Asia. Darren Chong’s lecture was enriched with workshops, during which the meeting participants had a unique opportunity to practice the skills they had acquired. The volunteers who took part in the workshop section were tasked with meeting a delegation of Chinese entrepreneurs. During the meeting, the delegations were to discuss aspects related to quality control in the production process and select a logistics partner. An additional difficulty was the request to negotiate a lower price for the purchase of silk scarves. The task set by Darren Chong proved to be quite a challenge for those gathered, as neither of the two teams managed to negotiate an optimal contract. After an oriental meal consisting of classic Chinese dishes, DHL Global Forwarding invited the attendees to the second part of the tour of China. The topic of this part was the logistics solutions used for the China and Hong Kong routes and supply chain cost optimization offered by DHL GF. Representatives of DHL Global Forwarding presented the company’s expansion plans in the Asian market and discussed in detail the offer of available sea freight.
