Hello, my name is Zhang Haitong, and I am a young man selling pearls.
My hometown is located in Shanxiahu town, Zhuji, Zhejiang, China. You might have heard of it; the specialty of my hometown is pearls, being the largest pearl distribution center in China. It can be said that anything related to pearls can be found here. Many of my relatives, friends, classmates, and even childhood friends from the same village are also engaged in the pearl industry.
My Journey in the Pearl Business
I entered the pearl business after graduating from school in 2010 and have been in this field ever since.
Let me brag a bit: For any product related to pearls, you can find a solution by coming to me. After all, I have accumulated 15 years of experience and knowledge in the industry.
First Experience with Foreign Clients
This is my first time doing business with foreigners. Previously, export traders would contact foreign clients, and when they had orders, they would come to me for supplies. Due to my poor command of foreign languages, I can only rely on translation software.
Build Friendship, Not Just Business
It doesn’t matter whether you buy pearls from me or not. We can get to know each other and become friends. There’s an old saying in my hometown: “More friends mean more roads.”
Follow My Website for Valuable Insights
Since we’re friends, remember to follow my website. I often post articles there, sharing:
- 15 years of experiences in the pearl industry
- Knowledge points, business strategies, and marketing techniques
After graduating, I didn’t start as a boss right away. I’ve tried various channels: - Night markets, street stalls
- Exhibitions, local festivals
- TV shopping, e-commerce, live streaming sales, community group buying
A Win-Win Partnership
By writing down my experiences, I hope to help you. Business methods that work in China might also apply to your country. If your business thrives, you’ll keep coming back for supplies—and since we’re in different countries, there’s no competitive relationship.
You make money, and then I make money. Isn’t that right, my friend?
