On May 5th, the last day of the May Day holiday, there was still a surge of people on the main passage of 6th Street in the first district of Yiwu International Trade City, Zhejiang. At 9am, in store 2071, the owner Sun Lijuan was already busy receiving customers. Sun Lijuan's store is not large, filled with simulation dolls and plush toys, with a total of four to five hundred styles.

With the emergence of ChatGPT, Yiwu has also entered the race, releasing a big language model in the commercial field and a newly upgraded Chinabooks (Yiwu Small Commodity City official website) AI intelligent innovation service platform. Multiple AI tools have been launched, including the "AI boss lady" who can speak 36 languages and the AI translator who can translate 100 languages. What new skills have shop owners in the Yiwu market learned? The reporter went to experience and learn.

"The task in the store today is a bit heavy, you need to be mentally prepared," Sun Lijuan joked to the reporter before starting work.

"I'll introduce it and you can record a video for me." Sun Lijuan briefly tidied up her clothes and picked up a toy dog with a tongue sticking out. Under her guidance, the reporter adjusted the video parameters and shooting angle of the mobile camera and pressed the record button.

After the recording was completed, Sun Lijuan logged into the Chinabooks AI Smart Creation Service Platform, found the "Small Business AI Trade Language Heart Generation" section, and uploaded the just shot video to the background. 36 language options immediately popped up on the screen for selection.

After some operation, within less than half an hour, Sun Lijuan generated AI videos fluently introducing products in five foreign languages: Arabic, Russian, Spanish, German, and English.

Since 2024, Sun Lijuan has launched over 80 new products, among which 30 products have generated AI videos in multiple languages, which are posted on WeChat Moments and video accounts, or privately sent to customers, forming a viral dissemination effect and receiving many new orders.

For merchants, another troublesome task is to create product detail pages. "Previously, we had to specifically hire photographers to take product photos, which was costly and time-consuming," said Sun Lijuan. Now that AI is available, it's much more convenient.

Sun Lijuan asked the reporter to grab a product and take a photo with her phone. Then she uploaded the photos to the AI product release section of the Chinabooks AI creative service platform, and there are a massive number of product background images available in the backend material library. Sun Lijuan clicked the one click drawing button, and a beautiful detail page appeared. "This is the super powerful ability of AI." This is a simple function that can help stores like Sun Lijuan save tens of thousands of yuan in product shooting costs per year.

Approaching noon, Ecuadorian foreign businessman Sonia Luna, who had just disembarked from the plane, walked into Sun Lijuan's shop with her suitcase and inquired in Spanish. Just as the reporter hesitated, Sun Lijuan opened the "AI Translator" function on the Chinabooks AI Creative Service Platform. Sun Lijuan, who originally didn't speak Spanish, quickly became an expert in Spanish with the help of AI technology and quickly understood Sonia Luna's needs. Smooth communication ultimately helped Sun Lijuan secure a toy doll order of 20000 yuan.

After half a day of studying in the same class, the reporter marveled at the tremendous changes brought by technological upgrades to trade methods, and was also amazed by the sharp sense of the Yiwu market and the innovative spirit of keeping up with the times.
