Rookie, thank you for all the links. Researching further into asiansource company, we can see that their business is "we deliver verified information (about Chinese Cos)and real results- enabling our clients to effectively lower cost of goods, minimize risk and accelerate growth".
I'm pretty sure, based on the their mission statement and the comment:
asianprosource commented, "This is just excellence! That's why we love to connect with creative people like you!"
it sounds like asianprosource likes what they see about NGCG and is trying to get Tom Kim as a client.
Perhaps Tom Kim has already had a meeting with them for preliminary info. In any case, it appears that Tom approaching and building the business in the much more secure and fundamental way.
Unlike the previous management picked Equis G knows how and started wasting time and money going back and forth to Asia and achieving nothing.
