Dropshipping opportunity

I met a guy recently who had a successful business importing and selling a high ticket product I’ve been wanting to sell for a while. Because of the large weight of the item there is high shipping fees and this product often has a high moq required. I want to get him to import the product for me and dropship it from him I guess? He really liked me and wanted to hire me as a salesperson for his company but I have bigger ideas! What would be the best deal to make in this situation?

(we met at my just above minimum wage job so I don’t have a large amount to invest)
