of this company is the export of coke and
carbon products. As we all know that coke
is rather difficult product to handle, and
to handle it well, need a lot of dedication,

difficult products to handle, this is largely
due to lack of knowledge of the quality
control by the people in the production
and then the mixing of impurities and breakage
during transportation. In view of all that,
this company is working with one of the
other subsidiaries of General Nice Development
Limited (Shanxi) in Taiyuan and Xiao Yi
County of Shanxi, and their main responsibility
is to ensure that all their supplies from
Shanxi are of qualified material from the
manufacturers, and then transportation to
Tanggu from Shanxi via various means, such
as by railway or by trucks, is being monitored
closely, so that breakage and mixing with
impurities are being brought to the minimum.
