Most of the goods in the store are sent from the local foreigners." Xia Yongping recalled that one year, the store, the store, the store, the store The sales volume is very good, and the source of the goods is tightly lacking "nothing to sell." At that time, he started to sell Chinese goods. "China is controllable, good quality, and many styles. The most important thing is that we are made in China."
Yiwu is a "unable to go out of production" in China, and most of Xia Yongping's goods also come here. Later, he began to buy goods from Yiwu and "stock" in Spain to build overseas warehouses.
"At that time, I didn't have such a foreign warehouse that was so foreign, but it was called a warehouse and piled up. I still remember that at the beginning, there were foreigners' warehouses near the dock. Many. "Xia Yongping said.

At the same time, Yiwu's storage also links with multiple overseas warehouses. It can not only achieve the rapid turnover of the goods, but also provide the supply chain convenience for more overseas Chinese businessmen.
