Best way to buy is factory direct:   Export agencies charge higher prices than the factories;  Normally, the extra
cost is from 5% to 13% more due to what is called VAT > value added tax which is returned revenue by the China
government.   This how Export Agencies make their money.  The auto electric business has become fiercely
competitive worldwide so it now becomes essential to buy factory direct, thus avoiding middle men export
agencies.  
Improving supply chain management are current buzz words in today's product procurement
methodology.  By buying factory direct the VAT tax is avoided because the factory gets it back and does not pass
it on to the buyer like an Export Agency would do..  

Present Time:  Our Special Starter and Alternator buying group is limited to only few selected major accounts;  
They are called  “Quad Power”
.  The purpose of this special group is to buy and pay factory direct and not go
through export agencies.   Don and Angel helps them do it and acts as your fiduciary agent
s in China.   

Future Time:  In 2008 we intend on adding 2 more contract clients;  Presently, 6 clients are in the QP
buying group.  We started with 4 and hence came the name; > Quad-Power:     

Our office in China has three office assistants, one full time ME Engineer,  one part time CE Engineer, and one
part time EE Engineer, on staff besides Don and Angel, comprises 8 people in total.  As more clients are obtained
more people will be hired.

Quad Power group clients know who each other and work with each other on mutual procurement issues, but the
factory does not know them until they receive the QP member's first order that we help negotiate.   We know what
lowest target prices should be.   “Quad Power”  i
s YOUR BUYING LEVER insuring will get you the lowest prices
obtainable.

Our Experience:  In the past 30 years Don has worked for several large USA starter and alternator companies in
oem sales and after-market re-manufacturing product engineering.   A technical 30 year + background in the
starter and alternator industry in both heavy duty diesel and passenger car .  He is known and trusted all over
China and the USA.  This benefit can be most appreciated when you need technical communication, warranty
charge back assistance, help with factory misunderstandings or have new product development requirements.

History:  In years past China prices and the USD exchange rate were stable.   Not so today;   Raw material cost in
China is rising every day and the USD has lost some exchange rate
value.   USD exchange rate was 8.26 two
years ago and now is 7.2 as of F
eb. 15 2008.   Copper prices have risen 100% plus since 2005.  Labor and
materials like aluminium and steel prices are also going up..  This means
a standard price list from factories are
now hard to get due to fluctuating prices and when you do get them they are often high prices based on hedging
material cost.   Pricing in China is now best quoted on an individual order base and confirmed by
a Factory
Proforma Invoice.

Quad Power group clients issue their purchase orders direct to the factory and pay factory direct.  We help our
clients to correctly write an international purchase order and explain how to order from China.   We provide a
complete contact list of all known starter and alternator China factories, both those p
roducing complete units and
those
making just components. This amounts to over 150 China factories all in the starter and alternator and
component i
ndustry:    

We help recommend what factory makes what you looking for and which ones have known best quality and
service.    Most all large factories have their own export license and have English translators to quote their export
prices fob: Shanghai or nearest China port.  
We call these folks  "Gate Keepers"   However, these translators
know very little about product and technical communication.  Their English is second language and often times
very confusing to understand by western standards.  My wife Angel knows all the factory managers on a first name
basis and can communicate freely with them on their cell phones often times calling them on Saturdays and
Sundays
.  China factory owners and general managers in our industry do not speak English.  

After sending your RFQ’s, ( request for quotation ), direct to the factory and getting your quotations back our
group members submit these quotations back to us and we help negotiate an even better price based on our
group buying power.   Normally, we can get 1% to 5% better pricing upfront and all of our group clients enjoy the
same pricing.    It helps pay for our service and allows you to have boots on the ground support in China to insure
quality and adherence to your specifications and buying terms.  

We inspect what you expect.  It is like being here yourself or having your own employee stationed in China but
at a fraction of the cost.  Any required travel expense to factories are submitted by expense account monthly
billing to the appropriate client.  Factory Inspections are optional at client request.  For regular business meetings
factory representatives come to our office to handle regular business.  Our service pays for it's self by getting
better pricing in the long haul and offers protection of high risk when you are setting halfway around the world
without any direct contact with the factory.
                           
Quad Power Contract Membership Charge is $1500 usd / month:

Our employment charge is by a yearly written contract.   Presently, we are reviewing client applications for new
additions to QuadPower.   
Australian, European or South American clients would be welcome additions.  

Our salary payment is sent TT to our USA bank or China bank every month and pays for our service.  No
commission to pay.  
We intend to hold our QuadPower client base to 10 clients only.

Travel expenses if required by clients to visit factories or trade shows are reported extra per month but divided by
number of clients using the same factory or purpose.  For example:  The cost to send us to see the Auto
Mechanika Show in Shanghai was only 36 usd per client.  A trip costing $750 for 4 days to go to the far side of
China cost only $125 each client.

The more you buy the more you save.   A simple plan with great reward;   Ask any of your employees if they will
move to China, hire a translator, hire office staff and engineers, set up an office and do it all for only $1500 a
month? >
it's impossible:

NOTE:  To buy from China you should be in a capital venture bracket to afford minimum monthly container load
orders which can be LCL skid orders from multi factories and consolidated in one container load.

If you order from different factories in LCL skid quantities and have your goods sent to Shanghai to consolidate
into a 20’ container the standard factory skids will not match and can not easily double stack to fill the container
adequately.    This results in wasted space with partially filled containers as well as squashed damaged goods
when you receive them.

The solution we can offer is to use an universal wire basket pallet that is sent by a Wuxi skid pallet factory to the
respective starter or alternator factory.  This ensures protection of your goods and offers a commodity that is
resalable.  The starter / alt. factory credits their standard pallet cost from the Wuxi wire basket cost.    Depending
on how far the factory is from Wuxi determines the wire basket pallet extra cost.  Normally the extra cost is only 35
to 53usd extra and the wire baskets have a $100 usd + resale value or more at destination or can be used in
house for warehouse storage.
