Breakin' Bread in China
While we were in Asia we made a trip to China to visit our factory and meet up with our partner Dennis in Putian City. Dennis is a self made 36 year old entrepreneur that considers himself to be one of the better if not the best disco dancer's in the city. Besides his dancing prowess he is also a footwear manufacturing expert that's built an empire over the past 8 years that employs hundreds of employee's. (left, Dennis and his daughter, right, Andy factory tech)We don't do much manufacturing in HK so a trip to mainland was in order. Yes we go to mainland China! We deal direct, no middlemen, no agents, straight to the source. It's a bit of a hike to get there. Putian City is one of the biggest footwear manufacturing cities in China. There are several hundred if not thousand footwear factories within a 25 mile radius of each other that probably employ millions of workers. It's over 3 hours driving from the closest airport which is Xiamen International Airport. The food is a lot different here. Have a look at what's on the menu tonight.Salad with Salmon sashimi & caviar (fish eggs). Spicy hot pot style! Fire water!!!Local favorite. Cold chicken feet.
