Description: Shen Concern seeks a U.S. partner to establish a production
facility for dry wall. It will contribute all its existing production

financial investment of $300,000 (USD). For this project, it seeks an
American partner who would provide equipment for the production of dry
wall, as well as a financial investment of approximately $200,000 (USD).

concern to 36 percent.
