• The Dutch were able to generate significant interest in European manufactured goods in China.

• The Dutch were more successful in obtaining trade partners and trade monopolies in Asia.

Both of these reasons would have enticed investors in the British East India Company to look towards the Netherlands for guidance on improving trade. The Dutch's ability to generate interest in European goods and their success in establishing trade partnerships and monopolies in Asia would have been seen as favorable and valuable knowledge for the British East India Company to learn from and replicate.
