I have been putting together a business plan and scheduling meetings with
the Chinese gov't for the importation/sell of antique/classic american cars
and of course English cars that are Left side drive. The figures (confirmed
by my contacts here in Ford and Buick) in China indicate that 650,000
passenger cars are sold a year and that of that figure 3% are thinking about
being a classic car. That is about 25,000 classic cars a year. I have done
the math and figure that I can make a minimum profit of between 7-10,000 per
car. Even if I only sell 25 year, that is $250,000. Estimated number of
sales during the second year are about 200-500 which equals US$2-5 million.
According to my figure to set up everything I will cost me about
$400-500,000 to up a state of the art factory here.
I am also working to get GM of Shanghai, and Ford in China involved, in
addition to 3M, PPG, NAPPA, Delphi, and other US companies involved in the
auto business/supplies or parts here in China. Yes there is a NAPPA store in
Beijing China
There are 6 different business that will revolve around the core business
with other to follow shortly
Repair then sell the classic cars
Repair shop for later repairs to the cars
Manufacturing of aftermarket parts including leather interiors
Rental cars for special occassion such as marriage.
Rental of car for advertising
Representing US automotive manufactures here that are involved in supplying
automotive repair equipment
Provide finder service for special cars that clients seek from the US
Well enough I could on all day about this plan. This is the initial reason
why I came to China. I have spent last two years of life and forgave my
high salary as a US attorney to set this plan into motion.
I am meeting with the Shanghai goverment next week to work out some details.
If anybody is truely interested in this project contact me off the list. I
plan on being back in the US next month.
