SIVC .0036 We are starting to see a different pattern on this China trip by SIVC CEO. This trip he's expanding the SIVC workforce in China. No greater sign of a company's health and future prospects than hiring more people.
You see it all the time on CNBC when they judge the overall health of the US economy. You hear things like a stronger than expected jobs growth number has the dow up 500 points.....Non-farm payroll jobs added a stronger than expected 400,000.
It's when they start laying off people you have to worry. JB is gearing up for a huge boom in SIVC business. I know this is very tacky thing to see but I really think this stock will make many of us incredibly wealthy. It will be those of us who took the time to understand this amazing story as it unfolds.
Worked for the Chinese Government....Doors opening for SIVC...
John Bai- As project manager and then chief project manager for the Ministry of Aerospace of China, Mr. Bai negotiated $20 million in savings in procurement of key components and significantly reduced the risk for a project valued in excess of $100 million, conducted numerous negotiations and signed many contracts with prices below targets...
I thought the exact same thing. MTTG deals with the government. What I like about that possibility is something JB mentioned.
Deal flow, the MTTG deal flow would be for huge dollar amounts but might take years to complete. 100 million dollars in revenue in the long term pipe coupled with the bang bang another closed Reverse merger, another 2 million dollars plus in shares in each deal for SIVC, another dividend to shareholders every three months.
Building a nice mix of deals and revenue streams is what I'm seeing here. Pipeline is filling up.
