Based inYiwu, in southeastern Zhejiang Province, Neoglory started off in 1995 as a simple low-cost manufacturer of cheap rings, bracelets and necklaces.
He had just returned from a day trip there, and I could tell from the excitement in his voice that the marketplaces of Yiwu were unlike those anywhere else in China.
Like many online marketplaces, there is no minimum order requirement for buyers on MarketYiWu.com, but what is unique about the site is that wholesalers in the U.S. can shop big and receive significant discounts as if they were visiting the Yiwu market themselves.
