In the letter, Francisco not only introduced his latest work, but also expressed his wishes for more communication and deeper cooperation with KML in special fields in the future. We also believe that Francisco's expert knowledge and skills can surely bring new concepts and momentum to both Victor and KML, and drive the business of the two parties to a new scale.

Secondly, we got some very useful suggestions about KML from the end users. During our visit to Morocco & Tunisia, our agents showed us the shops of their distributors, so we have the opportunity to communicate with KML end users. We received the precious advices from them, which refer to nearly all aspects about KML, such as quality, packaging, brand image, promotion materials&

Last but not least, We can communicate KML new program and marketing plan to our customers, and which drawn their attention after our introduction. Also, we received many new products from our agents/customers, all these products are in high requirement in these markets. With our strong R&D capability, our customers can rely on us for all these new products.

When tensile stress and corrosive elements work together, then the stainless steel bearing would go crack easily, even though the tensile stress may not so large.
Concerning for corrosion or rusting, stainless steel material is most afraid of chloride ion, alkaline material and sulfide, while chloride ion takes the most among the three. Statistic shows that, the stainless steel material can be crack in a very short time though the contents of chloride ion only take up 1/100,000.
When people use cleaning agent to washing the equipment with stainless steel bearings fixed in, then the bearing probably will go crack.
In order to prevent the stainless steel bearings from cracking and rusting, we should try to minimize the tensile stress and let the bearing off the chemical elements which may lead to bearing corrosion.

No wonder people looked after a "Sea Silk Road". Even so, the dangers were not eliminated: powerful storms and pirate attacks. The oldest records of a sea silk road are from the time of Zhou Dynasty (1122-256 BC). In 1121 BC, during the rule of king Wu, silk thread rolls started to reach Korea, and subsequently reached Japan. The oldest sea connection between China and Japan had its start point in the Shandong Peninsula. The ships crossed the Yellow Sea to reach a place close to the modern Osaka.
During the emperor Wu Di (140-87 BC) of the Han Dynasty, Chinese ships loaded with silk started from the zone of Leizhou Peninsula to India, navigating along the coasts of Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Myanmar. In India, silk was exchanged for pearls and gemstones. At the return, the Chinese ships also passed along the Ceylon coasts. Gradually, the Chinese ships went farther westwards.
As bandit bands started to control the terrestrial silk road, both China and ancient Rome were eager to exploit a sea silk road. In 97 AD, Chinese sent Gan Ying, a messenger, to Rome. The difficulties of the voyage impeded him to achieve his goal, being forced to turn back home.
In his turn, the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius sent, in 166 AD, a messenger that reached China. He offered ivory, rhino horns and sea turtle shells as gifts to the Chinese emperor. The sea route used by the Roman messenger was subsequently employed for the sea transport of the silk between China and Rome.
During the Song Dynasty, Chinese ships reached Basra (in Iraq), Oman and the eastern coasts of Africa. During the Song Dynasty, many important Chinese inventions - the compass, the gun powder, the paper and the printing press - reached Europe via Arabs and Persians.
The navigator Xheng He, during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD), made 7 journeys on the eastern coasts of Africa, half century before the Portuguese Vasco da Gama. In one journey, the 200 ships of his fleet (of which 60 were of large capacity) comprised 27,800 people, including numerous traders. This was the peak of the Sea Silk Road.
In time, other silk ways were opened towards Philippines and Americas. At a certain point in time, due to the intense silk trade, the silver Mexican coins were so numerous in China that they were used as standard coins together with the Chinese ones.
