“The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.” – Confucius
Business management fundamentals demand that Gulf Resources Inc. takes ISO 14001 series registration, comes up with a cogent human resources development plan, and makes binding commitments about its future equity structure. These three steps will safeguard the core values which this exceptional company, which trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) as ‘GFRE’ represents. There can be few doubts that Gulf Resources Inc. is set for a quantum leap in the near term, when it comes to business performance and results.
Stories of business growth in China have US management Gurus licking their chops in envious hunger for profits and cash! This vast and populous land mass seems to have an insatiable appetite for goods and services, gobbling up everything from luxury goods to rare minerals. Gulf Resources Inc. is involved with bromine and specialty chemicals, stuff that even the most backward economy on earth can use in ship loads! A vertically integrated operation based right on the Chinese mainland, makes Gulf Resources Inc. nearly a dream come true.
Hang on, for there is more: OTCBB listing means that you and I and folks down the block can all be part of the chemical gold rush. Why wait to buy in to Gulf Resources Inc. when everything seems right in inherent value terms? It is not every day that common US citizens can get pieces of emerging economy stories, but can we ask the company management for the following specific business assurances?
– Are safety and environmental protection measures in place, so that we do not have another ‘lead in toys’ story?
– The head count seems puny compared to the top lines, to say nothing of the growth prospects: is the management ready and able to ride the bucking horse of business success?
– Selling specialty chemicals and bromine downstream products seem to be first cousins in industrial marketing: why have subsidiaries instead of separate departments? Does the management have any hiving off plans that could leave some of us holding a smelly baby?
