Solved#Import agent#
I've always been quite interested in imported red wine and think the market has good prospects. Now I want to open an imported red wine agency store myself. But I don't have much experience. I have no idea where to start. For example, how to find reliable supply sources, what procedures to handle, and how to develop the market, etc. I hope friends with experience can tell me in detail. Thank you very much!
