I am back in my father's office. He looks at me with a patient smile. OK, he says. Your idea. You will be responsible for everything - finding suppliers, products, customers. The whole chain. I will help you with the money. I will lend you enough to fill a container. Time for research!
During the mid-eighties there is no such thing as the internet. I have to work in a totally different way. There is a magazine you can get with suppliers for different types of goods. Since my father already is buying from China I look for suppliers in the same part of the world. Yes! There it is! I find two or three suppliers in Hong Kong. Meetings are booked and I am ready to fly.
I have been in China and Hong Kong with my parents when I was younger so there is nothing strange in travelling to Asia. I feel like I own this. Now is my time to shine and come back with excellent gloves and show everyone what a businessman I am.
Finally I can give my ideas wings and see if it is better to be my own employer instead of working for someone else. What I don't know at this moment is that from now on it will always be me and gloves, like a life-long marriage. Me and my gloves.
