Stop buying from middlemen.
Go straight to the factory.
Every agent between you and the manufacturer is taking a cut. This class teaches you how to remove all of them — negotiate your own prices and build a supply chain that's yours.
You're not losing money
by accident
Every time you buy from a local agent or Alibaba reseller, you're paying for their flight tickets, their markup, and their profit. 1688 cuts all of that out.
- Paying 2x–5x the real price
- No control over your supply
- Can't negotiate anything
- Dependent on someone else's schedule
- Limited product variety
- Factory-direct pricing
- Negotiate MOQ & price yourself
- Thousands of verified manufacturers
- Full control of your supply chain
- Scale at your own pace
This hits home
You're buying from Lagos traders who bought from Alaba who bought from agents who bought from China. Every middleman takes a cut — straight out of your pocket.
When your supplier increases prices you have no choice. No leverage. No alternative. That changes when you go direct.
1688 is in Mandarin. Suppliers speak Chinese. But there are tools and techniques that make it completely navigable — we teach you all of them.
Local agents set high minimums at high prices. Going direct lets you negotiate MOQ on your terms — we show you exactly how.
1688 puts you in the driver's seat.
This class teaches you the full system — from finding the right manufacturer to getting your goods landed in Nigeria at prices that make your business genuinely competitive.
The full system.
Nothing held back.
A practical, hands-on curriculum built for business owners serious about cutting costs and scaling.
