I’m Xinya Zhang. I’m on the factory floor. Not behind a screen.
Most sourcing agents search Alibaba and send emails. I drive to the factory. I walk the production line. I check your goods before you pay the balance.
I’m an independent individual — not a company with “Xinya” in its registered name, not a Shanghai supply chain firm, not an electronics manufacturer. One person. 13 years. Shandong.
What You Get
| What | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Factory-direct payment | You pay the factory. I never touch your product money. You see the factory’s invoice. |
| In-person QC before balance | Not a video call. Not photos the factory sent. My eyes on your goods. AQL 2.5 standard. |
| Small client list | Big sourcing firms manage 100+ clients. Your order gets 1% of their attention. I take very few. Your order gets my full attention. |
| Real factory floor knowledge | I know what raw materials cost this month. I know which factories are busy and which need orders. I know what a QC station should look like when it’s actually staffed. |
| One point of contact | You don’t coordinate factory A + inspector B + forwarder C. I handle all of it. |
Real Results
Agricultural Importer, East Africa. 10 tractors. ¥500,000. Delivered. Originally looked at premium Western brands — we found a Shandong manufacturer with the same core specs at a fraction of the price.
Factory Builder, Southeast Asia. Steel structure for a new workshop. ~$100,000. We sourced high-quality used structural steel — same load-bearing specs, half the cost of new.
Apparel Brand, North America. Multiple fabric types, small quantities per color. Big mills said no. We found a mid-size factory willing to split production. Factory-direct pricing. QC before balance.
E-Commerce Seller, Southeast Asia. $3,000 budget for a private-label pet product. Every factory said MOQ too low. We found one with excess capacity. Three weeks later, the order shipped.
Home Goods Distributor, Singapore. Two 40HQ containers of premium towels. Shandong mill. OEKO-TEX certified. Passed QC first time. Client already reordered.
Private Label Distributor, East Asia. Adult care products for Japan and Korea retail chains. FDA and CE certified factory. MOQ negotiated from 10,000 to 5,000. Full compliance documentation.
Where I Work
Shandong, China. 18 manufacturing clusters — 6 of them I know personally:
- Power & Electrical Equipment — 13 years in the trade. Transformers, switchgear, cables.
- Hygiene Products — 2000+ SKU factory. FDA/CE certified.
- Bearings — Linqing cluster. 5,100+ factories. I know who actually makes quality.
- Textiles & Garments — Global printed textile hub. African, Middle East, Southeast Asian markets.
- Agricultural Machinery — Manufacturing since the 1980s. Tractors, harvesters, irrigation.
- Used Equipment — Vehicles, steel structures, machinery, textile lines. 30-60% below new.
Need something outside these? I’ll find the right factory — not from a database, from 13 years of relationships.
What I Don’t Do
- I don’t mark up factory prices
- I don’t take kickbacks from suppliers
- I don’t represent any single factory
- I don’t hide my fee in the product cost
- I don’t take on more clients than I can personally manage
