Pearl River Delta · 2 cities
A working expedition from your home capital to a signed offtake in China. Canton Fair access, factory floors, interpreters, and a follow-up desk that keeps moving when you land back home.
01Purpose
The Shang You trade Business Visit & mission compresses a year of cold outreach into ten supervised days. You leave your home capital with a sector brief, a target product, and a list of suppliers we believe are a match.
You return with verified counterparts, signed term sheets where the chemistry was right, and a procurement plan we keep moving with you for a full month after the cohort photo is taken. The flights and dinners are the wrapper; the deliverable is a shipment that lands.
Nothing about it is sightseeing. Every transfer, every interpreter, every receipt routes back to a commercial purpose you declared on registration. If a factory doesn't make what you came for, it doesn't make the schedule — and we'd rather hand you back a deposit than fill a seat that doesn't fit.
02Who should attend
We size the cohort around a specific kind of delegate — operators with a declared product, a budget, and a decision they need to make on the ground. Anyone hoping to "have a look around" is welcome at the Canton Fair instead.
You buy, you ship; you've outgrown trading-company markups. The mission collapses the supplier search into 14 guided days.
You produce locally and source upstream — equipment, components, materials. We walk the factories that supply your line.
You're evaluating market entry or consolidating suppliers. Seven days of factory floor, three days of negotiation cover.
You allocate capital across cross-border trade. Time on the ground with the operators who would actually deploy it.
You produce, you sell; your production capacity has outgrown the domestic market and trading-company markups. The mission collapses the supplier search into fourteen guided days.
