On the early morning of January 6, 2025, as the sun was just rising, I‘m Osman Tohsun, welcomed an important merchant from Turkey with great enthusiasm and anticipation. This merchant harbored a strong interest in and a strong desire for cooperation with China’s manufacturing industry. And I, with my rich business experience and professional expertise, was about to embark on a wonderful journey for him to conduct an in – depth exploration of the core areas of China’s manufacturing industry.
We officially set sail from Yiwu, Zhejiang, China, a city full of commercial vitality and boundless opportunities. To ensure that the merchant could have a safe and comfortable travel experience during the long journey, I made meticulous and thoughtful preparations in advance. I arranged a spacious and comfortable business vehicle, which was equipped with various considerate facilities, from soft pillows to convenient charging ports, everything was available. At the same time, a professional driver with excellent driving skills, rich experience, and a thorough understanding of the routes along the way was there to escort us. He not only drove steadily but also was well – versed in the traffic conditions of each section of the road and could flexibly deal with various unexpected situations, ensuring the smooth progress of our journey.
After departing from Yiwu, we traveled southward all the way and first arrived in Zhongshan, a city renowned for its manufacturing industry. In the field of teapot production, this city is extremely powerful and has numerous single – teapot production and processing enterprises. As soon as we stepped into a relatively large – scale factory, modern production equipment came into view. The high – speed rotating robotic arms precisely grasped the raw materials and carried out complex and delicate processing operations. The exquisite craftsmanship of the artisans was truly amazing. The merchant’s eyes were instantly attracted, and his eyes were filled with astonishment and curiosity. I gave full play to my translation expertise in English, Chinese, and Turkish, quickly building a smooth communication bridge between the merchant and the factory director. Whether it was professional terms in the production process, such as “injection molding” and “teapot spout welding process”, or the explanation of technical details, I could translate them accurately, making the communication between the two sides seamless.
When the merchant inquired about the production process, he raised many questions regarding raw material procurement channels and production cycle control. I accompanied him throughout the process and patiently assisted the factory director in answering each question. For example, when the merchant expressed concerns about the supply stability of a certain special ceramic material, I introduced to him in detail the long – term and stable cooperative relationships established by the factory with many high – quality suppliers at home and abroad, as well as the factory’s own raw material reserve strategy, gradually dispelling the merchant’s doubts. In the quality inspection link, the merchant was extremely meticulous and carefully examined the finished products of each process. I, on the other hand, paid close attention to the merchant’s reactions and promptly explained some quality inspection standards and methods to him.
Immediately afterwards, we rushed to Foshan without stopping. This city is home to numerous double – layer teapot production and processing enterprises and is an important base for teapot manufacturing. In a factory that specializes in high – end double – layer teapots, the merchant carefully examined every production link. From the double – layer design principle of the teapot body to the selection of heat – insulating materials, he did not overlook any minor details that might affect product quality. In the price negotiation process, relying on my in – depth understanding of the market conditions and excellent communication skills, I assisted the merchant in conducting multiple rounds of negotiations with the factory. I not only analyzed the price range of similar products in the current market for the merchant but also combined factors such as the factory’s production costs and product advantages to help the merchant smoothly obtain reasonable and satisfactory price information. The process was not smooth sailing. There were differences between the two sides on the price bottom line and payment methods. However, through my skillful coordination, I proposed some innovative cooperation plans, such as providing tiered price discounts based on the purchase volume and flexibly adjusting the payment cycle, and finally facilitated the initial cooperation intention between the two sides.
Subsequently, we went to Zhanjiang and visited a unique teapot fountain factory. The products here combined artistic and practical functions. The merchant not only appreciated the innovative and unique design concept but also had a more intuitive and clear understanding of the factory’s strong production capacity. During the visit, the merchant showed great interest in the factory’s automated production equipment but was also worried about equipment maintenance and technological updates. I promptly contacted the factory’s technical experts and introduced to the merchant in detail the equipment maintenance plan and the factory’s continuous investment in research and development for technological upgrades, making the merchant full of confidence in the factory’s development prospects. I assisted the merchant in carefully checking the production hotline to ensure that the factory could maintain efficient and stable operation during large – scale production.
It is worth mentioning that we also visited lighting and bulb production and processing factories. There, the merchant gained an in – depth understanding of the production processes, raw material selection, and quality control processes of various lighting and bulbs. From traditional incandescent bulbs to modern LED smart lighting, the merchant conducted a detailed study of each product. When communicating with the factory technicians, the merchant put forward some suggestions regarding lighting energy – saving technologies and appearance design improvements. I accurately conveyed these suggestions to the technicians and participated in the discussions between the two sides, laying a good foundation for potential future cooperation.
The six – day itinerary was compact and fulfilling, and every task was carried out in an orderly manner. During this process, I was not only a translator but also an organizer, coordinator, and facilitator of business activities. I always paid attention to the merchant’s needs and emotional changes and promptly adjusted the itinerary and service strategies.
During these six days, I also carefully took many photos of the factory visits. These photos not only recorded our inspection footprints but also were important materials for future business cooperation. Whether it is to showcase the production scale of the factory or the fine craftsmanship of the products, these photos can play an important role.
If you have the need to purchase products from the original factory, whether it is to find high – quality and reliable suppliers or to conduct accurate and efficient price negotiations, I can provide you with professional and attentive services with my rich industry resources and profound experience. I have established long – term and stable cooperative relationships with many high – quality factories and can quickly and accurately screen out suppliers that meet your needs for you. In terms of price negotiations, I am familiar with the market conditions and the cost bottom line of the factory and can strive for the most favorable price and cooperation conditions for you.
At the same time, I can also provide you with safe and reliable driver services to ensure the safety and convenience of your travel within China. Whether it is business travel within the city or long – distance inspections across cities, I can arrange the most suitable vehicles and drivers for you.
In terms of translation services, whether it is business meetings, factory visits, or daily communication, I can help you expand your business with accurate and fluent translation. I have an in – depth understanding and mastery of professional terms in the business field and can accurately convey the intentions of both sides, avoiding misunderstandings and communication barriers caused by language barriers.
