Dear Partha,

Sarbani, Raman Suprajarama et al,

Namaste

 

Can you

please draw up a prsna and see if indications are positive or otherwise. Yesterday,

I was approached by a German master craftsman to retrieve his machinery and

bring them to the farm in a partnership to work on low grade gemstones –

beads, cabochon, crystal eggs and lamps etc. the initial talk yesterday

entailed $31,000. Today, after talking and looking at the machinery etc., it is

amounting to +$50,000 of his debts incurred, that we have to defray. According to

him, we might be able to get away with paying out +/- $25,000. He says that his

equipment is worth $180,000. I took a good friend of mine along who is an

engineer specialized in industrial machines, to give me an estimate of the

machines. So far, it is worth not more than $40,000 but we have yet to look at

another small lot……..

The

tumbled material can do 800kg per day; Beads 40,000/month etc.

 

I have

some questions:

 

1. Will

this partnership work out?

2. When

do you think I will be able to recover my initial investment?

3. Will

there be a heavy capital outlay for materials needed to begin work?

4. He

says that there is a ready market in Germany. I am not certain of that.

But certainly, there is, in Hong Kong and the USA. Will there BE a ready market?

5.

Profitability?

6. What

type of partnership?

 

As it

will be my first time handling this type of market. I am used to handling only

superfine materials.

 

Thank

you for your time.

 

Love,

Swee
