I did a Chinese course at Jiatong Daxue. Here is an idea on how to find some student who fit Your requirements:

Ask some professor there if there are students who take CAD classes. If yes, ask if You can give a talk. The talk would be about what a CAD company does, what the typical CAD company does in the real world. What Your company does. And how a typical project in the CAD looks like. (it’s probably very different from the university classes) At the end give out the contact information of Your company.

Your talk should be professional, yet convey a relaxed atmosphere to not scare anyone.

Students who like the whole thing might and who believe they can keep up with Your standards will probably contact You after a while.

Another thing is to maintain a good connection to professors who are involved in CAD teachings. They might recommend You some students.

Well I guess I won’t have problems to find workers who are able to draw CAD – what I am worried about is, that they will have to work on themself. I actually wanna pay them according to their work straightly – if finish one model, they will be payed for one model. But I don’t know whether it’s going to work.
I think, jiaotong university will be the right uni to find some CAD emplyees, maybe even engineers. My girlfriend’s uncle is a prof there, so I am going to study there and look for employees there – u studied there too, didnt u?

Hello Aremonus Yep, I'm a German. Chengdu is a nice city, I have been in Chengdu before and I really like this relaxed, yet quite modern place. See my entries: Chengdu Some university in Chengdu Chengdu nightlife If You start a business in Chengdu, You should consider some High Tech industry. Chengdu has lots of universities and the students there are well very educated. China is not paradise when looking for highly educated workers, however in Chengdu Your chances are very good. Have a good time in Chengdu.

Hey,
good point of view. Are you german yourself?

I expereinced a lot of times that it seems to be hard for chinese to make flexible plans or analyze things myself – but I guess when u’re good at analyzing things and familiar with eastern (chinese) culture, you can make a good carrier in west as well as in east.
I’m going to look for some independent chinese students when I study in Chengdu to employ them as free workers for my family’s company. But it’s not easy to find such people, even thou they’re often very ambitious.
