The person behind your sourcing · A founder who handles your project personally

I'm Jimmy Xiong — a China-based sourcing professional who left a trading company career to build something more honest: a founder-led agency where every client gets my full attention, not a junior assistant's.

My Story
2023
While still at university, I became fascinated by how global trade actually works — not the textbook version, but the real mechanics of supplier negotiations, quality disputes, and cross-border logistics. I started self-studying international trade and reached out to anyone in the industry who would talk to me.
2024
I moved to Shenzhen after graduation and joined a trading company. For nearly two years I worked directly on industrial machinery and medical equipment projects — handling supplier development, factory visits, price negotiations, and client communication with European and North American buyers. This is where I learned what overseas buyers actually worry about, and how things go wrong when a sourcing agent isn't paying close enough attention.
2026
On January 27, I founded Ouyang Global Sourcing. Not because I wanted to build a big agency, but because I wanted to work differently: fewer clients, deeper involvement, and full transparency on every decision — from which factory I chose and why, to every cost in the supply chain.
Why I Work This Way

At my previous company, I watched clients get handed off between account managers, receive vague sourcing reports, and pay service fees without really knowing what they were getting for them. That bothered me.

When you work with me, you're not talking to a sales rep who passes your brief to a back-office team. I'm the person who finds your supplier, visits the factory, negotiates the price, reviews the samples, and is on-site for quality inspection. You can ask me anything at any stage — and you'll get a direct, honest answer.

I deliberately keep my client base small so I can give each project the attention it actually needs. This isn't a limitation — it's the point.

What I promise every client: a transparent fee structure with no hidden markups, honest supplier assessments including the risks, regular photo and video updates from factories, and a clear record of every decision made on your behalf.

WHY THIS MODEL WORKS

What you actually get with a founder-led sourcing agency

Most sourcing agencies sell scale. I offer something different: the person who knows your project best is also the one making every call.

You always know who's handling your project

In larger agencies, your account manager changes, your brief gets summarized down a chain, and things get lost in translation. With me, the person you emailed on day one is the same person inspecting your goods before shipment. There's no intermediary layer between you and the actual work.

Direct communication means faster decisions, fewer misunderstandings, and no pleasant-sounding excuses when something needs addressing.
Specialized, not generalist

My professional background is in industrial machinery and medical & healthcare equipment — two sectors where precision, certifications, and compliance matter enormously. I know the right questions to ask factories in these categories, which certifications are genuinely verifiable, and where the common failure points are.

If your product falls in these areas, you're getting someone who has done this specific work before — not someone learning your industry while billing you for it.
Transparent fees — no hidden supplier markups

My pricing is clear upfront. I charge a service fee for sourcing and project management — I do not take hidden commissions from factories or inflate supplier quotes. This means my incentive is always aligned with yours: find the best supplier at the right price, not the supplier who pays me the most.

You'll receive full cost breakdowns at every stage. No surprises, no "agency margin" buried in the invoice.
Built for European & North American buyers

Working with European and North American clients has shaped how I communicate and what I prioritize. I understand that you care about CE and FDA compliance, accurate lead times, properly documented quality checks, and being told the truth when something goes wrong — not a polished cover story delivered after the fact.

My reports, timelines, and communications are structured to match the standards you're used to at home.
Shenzhen-based — fast, direct factory access

Being based in Shenzhen's Bao'an District puts me at the center of one of the world's most connected manufacturing ecosystems — with quick access to industrial clusters, medical device manufacturers, and major logistics hubs. Factory visits are something I can arrange on short notice, not a logistical production.

When an issue needs in-person attention, I'm there — not sending a report from a desk 500 kilometers away.
WORKING WITH ME

What a typical project looks like

No jargon, no unnecessary complexity. Here's what working together actually involves, from first contact to delivery.

① You send me your brief

Tell me what you need — product specs, target price, quantity, required certifications, delivery timeline. The more detail, the better — but I can also work with rough requirements and help you sharpen them before we begin.

② I research and shortlist suppliers

I identify candidates from my existing network and targeted market research, then evaluate each on production capability, certification status, pricing, and track record. You receive a clear comparison with my honest recommendation — including any concerns I have about specific suppliers.

③ We confirm the supplier together

You make the final call. I handle negotiations, sample requests, and any factory audit you want. Nothing moves forward without your explicit sign-off at each stage.

④ I manage production and quality control

Throughout production I monitor progress, conduct mid-production and pre-shipment inspections, and send you photo and video documentation. If something isn't right, I tell you immediately and push back on the factory — not after the goods have already shipped.

HONESTY

What I won't promise you

Most sourcing agents will say whatever it takes to win your business. I'd rather be upfront about what I can and can't do.

I'm not the right fit for every product category

My strongest areas are industrial machinery and medical/healthcare equipment. If you need to source fast fashion, mass-market consumer electronics, or highly specialized chemicals, I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit — and if not, I'll point you toward someone better suited.

I can't guarantee zero problems — but I can guarantee transparency

Manufacturing involves real uncertainty. What I can guarantee is that I will catch problems early, communicate them to you immediately, and fight hard to get them resolved before they cost you money. You will never be the last to know when something goes wrong.
