Meet Fu Jiangyan, the 25-year-old entrepreneur from Yiwu who’s disrupting global commerce—one sock at a time—using AI to eliminate language barriers. Dubbed the "Sock Queen," Fu’s business blends tradition with cutting-edge tech, creating viral marketing videos in 36 languages to connect with buyers worldwide. 🌐🎥
Yiwu, known as the "world’s factory" for small commodities, is no stranger to innovation. But Fu’s approach? Next-level. She trains AI tools to generate localized content in languages from Arabic to Zulu, turning niche trends (think anime-themed socks in Tokyo 🇯🇵 or eco-conscious designs in Berlin 🌱) into global bestsellers. 🧦💡
"Before AI, hiring translators for 36 languages was impossible," Fu says. "Now I chat with clients in real-time—no lost-in-translation moments!" Her TikTok-style clips, packed with humor and cultural references, have racked up millions of views, proving tech isn’t just for Silicon Valley startups.
For young entrepreneurs? Fu’s advice is simple: "AI levels the playing field. Use it to turn your 'crazy ideas' into reality." 👩💻✨
