Opportunity knocks! Like a bull in a china shop!

As a struggling purveyor of the visual medium one can never pooh pooh the opportunity to expand one's horizons, as it were, even beyond that point at which ships sail bow first off the edge into the eternal abyss. So one can imagine my excitement when I was approached by this fine firm for consideration of their no doubt valuable services!
Here I present, in its true, actual and satisfactual form the offer as it appeared in my inbox this very Ante Meridiem:


Dear Sir/Madam:

I am glad to introduce ourselves as Arts & Crafts Department of Fujian Putian Promising Trading Co., Ltd. I am the general manager Tan weigang.


With over 30% of oil painting reproduction export from Putian City where we are staying in, Putian is not able to compete Xiamen in term of painting trade.

We are now thinking about reduce the chains from studios to the wholesalers overseas, so as to decrease the cost. We take the products directly from the studios and communicate between the buyers and painters directly, on one hand, it is more efficient, on the other hand, it is very beneficial to the elevation of product quality, e.g. I always emphasize the quality of photo that is sent by the clients, in order to anticipate the satisfying outcome from the studios, however this simple principle is now and then ignored should there be no link between the buyer and the painter.

I hope we both are wise enough to choose each other and we both are the right men that we are searching so hard.

You can also take a look of our website, that you know, we have two business can provide to you, one is oil paintings reproduction, the other one is photograph to oil portrait. I think you are interested about it, because I can save your cost.

Hope to receive your response very soon!


And receive my response they shall! Indeed, my YiXing ZiSha cup runneth over!
