On January 3, 2013, I stood on the streets of Zhoukou, Henan, clutching stainless steel pipe samples, trembling with cold and uncertainty. Little did I know that this humble beginning would evolve into a 12-year odyssey—one that would take me from a probationary salesman to the founder of VertexFlow Foreign Trade Co. (approved June 2024). Here’s the raw, unfiltered story.
Key Milestones
– 3 Months to Prove Myself: I passed probation by cold-calling 100+ factories weekly, mastering product specs like ASTM A312 TP304 inside out.
– Relocation to Foshan (Sep 2013): Moving to China’s stainless steel hub, I slept in factory warehouses to learn production lines firsthand.
– 11 Consecutive Years as Top Sales: By 2024, I’d built relationships with 200+ global clients, from Southeast Asian construction firms to EU-based manufacturers.
– 2018 Turning Point: Self-taught English + Google Translate = my first overseas deal (a $50k order to Vietnam). Cue the viral hook: “I once wrote emails using Google Translate’s ‘speak-to-type’ because my written English was too broken. The client still thought I was drunk!”
– Internal Entrepreneurship (2024): After 6 years of pitching, VertexFlow was born—backed by my employer’s trust and a vision to disrupt the status quo.
Our Edge: Factory to Global & 72-Hour Urgency
– Supply Chain Superpower: Cutting out 3+ middlemen, we connect factories directly to buyers (e.g., our 2023 deal with a Nigerian solar farm slashed costs by 22%).
– 72-Hour Emergency System: When a Turkish client’s pipeline burst during Ramadan 2024, we delivered ASTM A269-certified pipes in 58 hours—saving their $2M project. “No sleep, just welding sparks and prayers.”
Why “Employee No.007”?
I’ve always believed in agile, mission-driven teams. Like Bond’s 007, my team thrives under pressure:

– Problem-Solvers: When customs delayed a shipment to Brazil, we rerouted via Panama—on a fishing boat.
– Data-Driven: Using AI to predict demand spikes, we’ve reduced stockouts by 67% since 2022.
Industry Insights
– ASTM Certification is Non-Negotiable: 83% of EU clients now require it for compliance.
– Emerging Markets Are Exploding: Africa’s stainless steel demand grew 19% YoY in 2024—we’re doubling our Nigeria team.
– Sustainability is Currency: Our recycled 316L pipes (15% post-consumer content) are a hit in Scandinavia.
