A foreign dealer settles in ITC

“ Purchasing the global products and marketing products globally’ is the appraisal of Yiwu by the businessmen from all over the world. Abdullah is a trader from Turkey, who, after one year of hard working in Yiwu, finally had a booth in his possession in August in the International Trade City (ITC) . His booth, which specializes in auto mobile parts, makes him the first foreign dealer who owns a booth in Yiwu Market . Abdullah’s booth is located on the second floor of District Gin ITC ( Phase II ) . When we got there, he and his Chinese wife Xu Fang were dealing with business affairs in an orderly manner.

Xu Fang is a Sichuan person, who got familiar with Abdullah two years ago when they were doing business in Shenzhen and then got married. The couple came to Yiwu three or four times every month at that time, not only because Yiwu is as of small commodities, but also because Yiwu’s small commodities are of fine quality and low price . Besides, they also felt satisfied with Yiwu’s transport facilities and investment environment . After careful comparison and consideration, the couple made up their minds to develop their business in Yiwu .

Abdullah planted two flags on his desk deliberately one is the five-star red flag, and the other is the national flag of Turkey that serve as a symbol of the friendship between the two countries. Since Abdullah owned a booth in ITC, his business has been much better than before. Today, their automobile parts are exported to not only Turkey, but also Columbia, Syria and other countries. Now,in addition to the business of automobile parts, Abdullah makes himself a foreign trade agent . To them, their factory in Turkey only plays a role of freight relay station, because many old customers would rather come to Yiwu to purchase with his help.

Everyday, the couple ‘s booth receives a lot of customers. Abdullah shows a remarkable language advantage in handling business, for many of the customers are not Chinese, while his wife Xu Fang takes charge of the production in factories, ensuring the adequate supply of highquality products. The couple has a clear job division as well as good teamwork . After over one year of staying in Yiwu, they gave birth to their daughter named Rose half a month ago. Abdullah and his wife like very much this highly internationalized city. The friendliness, hardworking, honesty and to lerance of the people in this city impress them deeply.
