Nanning, China
Greetings 大家好, This is Changjian Xie, a native Cantonese of SE China. I was a former Chinese producer and exporter before I came to Upwork. With my 20+ years of work experience in Chinese exporting and a deep understanding of the Chinese manufacturing landscape, I am dedicated to offering my knowledge and skills as a specialist in sourcing and procurement for your project, and confident in my ability to deliver exceptional results for your business that needs to be worked on in China. I am the right person you need to find in China. I fully understand that you need to find a suitable manufacturer or supplier in China to obtain products that meet your requirements at a reasonable price, and ensure a smooth logistics system to deliver the goods to you or the consumers, achieving a seamless connection throughout the process. My work includes sourcing Chinese manufacturers and suppliers, factory audits, negotiation, follow-up quotations and samples, production and project management, quality control and inspections, shipment, and other services as discussed. As your sourcing and procurement agent, I will be more like your partner in China. I understood that industry knowledge, patience, care, and execution are keys to a job done successfully. My work will be done transparently and traced, based on an hourly rate or a fixed-price contract, and there will be no cut-off discount for me from the deal. As the saying goes, no pain, no gain. My work procedure is usually like this: 1. Accept an offer to start sourcing and collecting information as per the contract signed. 2. Contact the selected suppliers and negotiate with potential suppliers for all aspects of purchasing. 3. Submit the sourcing report to you for informed decisions and provide the outreach as required. You sell, and I source and ship from China for you. I would love to invite you to reach out to me here on Upwork, discuss your requirements, understand your unique vision, and explore how I can contribute to your success. I look forward to working with you and hope my service is beyond your expectations. Best regards, Changjian Xie
