🤯 I've worked 20 years with Chinese factories. Nobody tells you that !

They were made in Datang, a town in eastern China you've never heard of. every step of the supply chain within a 15 minute drive. Datang isn’t special or rather it is. But it's not unique. China has dozens of towns like this one that toys, one does lighters, one does electronics, one does cosmetics. Each one has spent decades building an ecosystem so deep that no other country can replicate it, no matter how cheap their labor gets. When you order a product on Alibaba, you think you're buying from a manufacturer in “Guangzhou” or “Shenzhen.” you're not. You're buying from a middleman who sources from a hyper-specialized cluster town that you've never heard of, where hundreds of factories do the same thing. You're paying the tourist price because you don't know the address. If you source anything from China or if you're thinking about it, this is the most useful video you'll watch this year. I'll show you exactly how to find which city makes what, why prices are what they are, and how the entrepreneurs who know this negotiate, price and win differently. I've been doing business in and out of China for over 20 years. I work with entrepreneurs, who source, sell and operate across Asia every single day. This channel is where I share what I see from the inside. If that's relevant to what you're building hit subscribe. You won't get this perspective anywhere else.
