Leading
Photographic Equipment, Video and Electronics Company
Project Details:
This opportunity involves a photographic equipment,
video and electronics Company (The Company) that
is focused on the importation, engineering, production,
marketing and service of photographic, optical,
video and electronic devices throughout the European
and other markets. The Company is a mature and
industry leading business that has served the
region for over 40 years, and has built strong
networks with manufacturers, suppliers and retailer/resellers.
The Company's strong ties with major industry
players and its reputation will serve as key advantage
in securing future growth.
The Company supplies
proprietary branded products to its 3,500 wholesale
and retail partners in Germany, the rest of Europe
and its international partners in over 50 countries.
It markets a well known brand of photographic
lenses, digital cameras, binoculars and other
optic devices, surveillance systems, CCTV and
personal electronics.The Company is currently
profitable, has a positive (undervalued) NAV but
is performing well below its potential. The Company
therefore provides a unique opportunity to invest
in and build upon an established consumer electronics
business with strengths in Europe. The Company
seeks a Merger or Acquisition that will enable
it to achieve a strategic position in the Asian
market through building economies of scale. Alternatively,
given an established customer base, experienced
and well trained staff, committed management and
strong European distribution partners, this opportunity
will ideally appeal to investors who wish to use
the Company as an immediate entree into the lucrative
European market for an existing portfolio company
seeking to expand operations internationally.

Globalink
Technology Limited
Nature Business:
Media Advertising Business in China
Funds Required: US$ 4 million
Project Details:
A new form of technology advertising media - Nedmedia
(the unified media trademark) has been started
and is going to revolutionize the advertising
industry in China. Nedmedia is established by
employing the synergy mix on the latest networking
and communication technology and the benefit of
direct marketing. Specifically, interactive multimedia
marketing and advertising contents are selectively
broadcast, via our proprietary network, to the
displaying hubs, large screen Plasma and LCD TV,
that are specially installed at prominent and
prosperous locations of the city centers for public
promotion and advertising purpose.
A nation-wide
distributed advertising network of inter-related,
interconnected and interactively linked media
display hubs is then created to cater the increasing
effectiveness needs of the advertising industry
and to capture the RMB 40 billion yearly market
share of the nationwide advertising expenditure
of the China market. (The projected total advertising
expenditure has exceeded RMB 100 billion)
We have successfully
pre-marketed our business model and are building
up the Nedmedia platform in Shenzhen. We are seeking
extra capital in order to expand our network promptly
in those major cities of China.
