In the bustling markets of Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, merchants are embracing cutting-edge technology to expand their global reach. By leveraging DeepSeek, an advanced AI model, these entrepreneurs can now create multilingual product videos in under ten minutes, breaking language barriers and boosting international sales.
Traditionally, language differences posed significant challenges for Yiwu’s small business owners, limiting their access to international markets.
However, the integration of DeepSeek into the official mini-program of the Yiwu small commodities market has revolutionized this process. Merchants simply record a video of their lip movements, and DeepSeek automatically generates foreign language versions, eliminating the need for fluency in multiple languages.
This innovation ensures that forgetting lines is no longer a concern, as the AI seamlessly produces accurate translations.
One local merchant, Fu Jiangyan, shared her experience: “With this program, all I have to do is lip-sync.” Fu’s top-performing video, a short English-language clip introducing socks, garnered 54,000 views on Facebook, leading to a complete sell-out of the featured product. She noted, “In the past, we relied on in-store sales and waited for customers to visit. Now, with the help of AI, we can ‘master’ multiple languages, significantly broadening our sales channels.”
The process is remarkably user-friendly. Merchants can record themselves reciting simple sequences, such as numbers, into the camera. DeepSeek then processes these recordings to generate multilingual product videos, ready for distribution across various platforms.
This swift turnaround enables businesses to respond promptly to market demands and engage with a diverse customer base. The adoption of DeepSeek’s AI technology in Yiwu exemplifies how small businesses can harness artificial intelligence to overcome traditional barriers and thrive in the global marketplace.
As more merchants integrate these tools into their operations, Yiwu’s reputation as the “world’s supermarket” is poised to strengthen, showcasing a model of innovation and adaptability in international trade.
