I would say that the reason that dealers can be real assholes is because customers can be real assholes.
I believe that CSC should at this point be attempting to build a dealer network, as they sell into each area they should let the dealers of choice in that area of choice know what they missed out on in sales.
Simply because as Zongshen grows its product line, to keep related sales going you will inevitably need dealers.
Be careful not to insult the network that you will ultimately need to truly succeed, find the best dealers in the best areas and offer them an opportunity.
Not all dealership are managed by assholes, not all customers are assholes…having a dealer network will allow growth to be more manageable.
