Through three dimensions – one professional identity, two major career endeavors, and three personal passions – Zhang Yi can be quickly understood: her core role is as Secretary-General of the Shared Procurement Alliance; her two major career areas respectively oversee the organization of the Caimai Exhibition and the Caimai Industrial Die-Cutting and Auxiliary Materials business; her three personal passions – hosting, public speaking, and tea art – showcase her poised and fluent presence on camera. When interviewed by the editorial team at SAKO Microelectronics(www.slkoric.com), she remarked with a smile and self-deprecating humor: "Everyone assumes I'm a professional host – which shows that my primary career is still worth my continued dedication." Zhang Yi, Secretary-General of the Shared Procurement Alliance As the Secretary-General of the Shared Procurement Alliance, Zhang Yi is commonly referred to by her peers as "Xiao Yi Zong." Having been part of this platform for over a decade, she summarizes her deepest sentiments in six words: altruism, growth, and achievement. Since its establishment in 2007, the Shared Procurement Alliance has consistently provided free resource matching services for procurement professionals and empowered their continuous growth, deepening its presence within the procurement community and supporting the development of countless procurement practitioners. The Alliance also actively engages procurement teams in visiting factories firsthand—exploring production workflows, material processing techniques, and manufacturing details—allowing procurement professionals to observe the entire product lifecycle—from raw materials to finished goods—with their own eyes. "Only when you understand the manufacturing process can you effectively negotiate costs; only when you fully grasp the production workflow can you effectively control quality." This is the empowerment philosophy that the Shared Procurement Alliance adheres to. Due to its commitment to authenticity, practical application, and altruism, the Alliance's events are often fully booked. For instance, factory visits originally planned for 20–25 participants frequently attract over 40 procurement professionals to join voluntarily—a clear testament to the industry's urgent need for genuine learning and hands-on professional development. Shared Procurement Alliance Member Visits Enterprises (Figure 1) The more volatile the industry environment becomes, the more prominently the alliance's value is demonstrated. Whether it's fluctuations in raw material prices, the surge in PCB costs, or supply-demand imbalances in the supply chain, the alliance is always able to swiftly establish targeted coordination channels, efficiently match resources, bridge the gap between supply and demand, and bolster confidence within the ecosystem. Shared Procurement Alliance Member Visits Enterprises (Figure 2) To continuously upgrade and empower professional development systems—ensuring that career professionals not only possess practical skills but also excel in effective communication—the [Business Communication Practice Camp], launched in August this year by the Shared Procurement Alliance under the leadership of Zhang Yi, has been officially introduced. The curriculum is designed with a tiered approach for targeted implementation: it focuses on developing communication skills for new entrants into the workforce, enhancing teaching capabilities for mid-level managers, and strengthening presentation skills for business founders. By combining online coaching with hands-on, real-world practice, the program breaks down geographical barriers and helps more professionals and entrepreneurs articulate their skills, transform knowledge into value, and turn their words into business opportunities. Cross-boundary growth: Every experience builds the confidence needed for the next chapter. In 2004, Zhang Yi moved to Shenzhen alone, where her first job was overseeing human resources. Three years of experience in HR helped her develop core competencies in building systems, establishing workflows, and leading teams. Through a serendipitous opportunity, she transitioned into the procurement sector. Upon joining the industry, she discovered that her company's procurement processes were disorganized—lacking clear review standards, an evaluation system, or standardized documentation practices. Drawing on her HR expertise in system-building, she redesigned the entire procurement management system and operational workflows from scratch, enabling the previously chaotic procurement process to operate in a standardized manner. Over the next seven years, Zhang Yi dedicated herself to working at an inductor manufacturing company, rising from a procurement specialist to Assistant General Manager, gaining extensive experience across multiple roles—including procurement, engineering, production, and management. When the Production Supervisor position was vacant for three months, she stepped in to lead her team and thoroughly mastered the entire production process; when the Engineering role was vacant, she self-taught herself CAD drawing techniques and gained a deep understanding of product structures. Her hands-on experience working on the front lines of the manufacturing industry gave her a comprehensive understanding of the entire enterprise value chain—spanning production, quality control, supply chain management, and operational management—laying a solid foundation for her future entrepreneurial endeavors. Zhang Yi during an interview with the slkor Micro-Press Corps Entrepreneurial Deepening: Exhibition Services + Industrial Manufacturing – Two Parallel Approaches In 2017, Zhang Yi embarked on a full-time entrepreneurial journey by founding Caimai Exhibition Services, a company specializing in custom-designed exhibition booths and halls, as well as comprehensive event planning and execution services. Although she did not have a background in design, she initially paid her younger brother to learn the craft; later, she took charge of the technical side while she herself focused on the front-end market. She steadfastly rejects template-based design approaches and instead focuses on providing tailored, "one-company, one-solution" customization services. To date, she has completed over 1,000 exhibition booth and hall design and construction projects, serving spaces ranging from 36 to 660 square meters; she has provided full-service event planning for 800 events of various scales and has personally hosted more than 200 business events. She has served numerous enterprises and industry organizations, including Sunwoda, Baoling, Guangdong Bell, the Robotics Association, and the Logistics Association. All her solutions are tailored to align with the brand's identity and the specific characteristics of each product, and her strong track record of professional execution has earned her a solid reputation. Sunwoda Exhibition Stand Case Study Jiawei Booth Case Study Baoling Exhibition Hall Case Study The event planning business was developed in response to the growing demand for internal alliance events. Events such as alliance annual conferences, industry matchmaking sessions, and procurement salons all require professional support—including backdrops, stage lighting, photography, and videography. Initially, outsourcing these services came with high costs and low efficiency; therefore, the company gradually began integrating its in-house resources—covering stage design, lighting, audio systems, backdrops, and staffing (hosting, etiquette coordination, program execution, and filming)—to establish a seamless, end-to-end implementation process. Today, Caimai Event Services handles an average of 40–50 large-scale government, corporate, and industry events annually, ranging from annual conferences to press conferences and industry forums. Chuan-Yu Tongxin Conference Event Planning Case Study Event Etiquette and Program Performance Case Studies The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 impacted the exhibition services industry. Zhang Yi began considering launching a new business venture – one that would be unaffected by in-person events – and she chose the die-cutting and auxiliary materials sector as her focus area, specializing in materials such as foam, conductive fabric, waterproof and breathable films, lens backing adhesives, and insulating gaskets. The Shared Procurement Alliance possessed a substantial base of manufacturing industry clients, which served as a strong foundation for her entry into this field. Cailü Industrial Production Workshop Cailü Industrial Production Equipment CaiMu Industrial was registered in 2016; in March 2023, it officially acquired a stake and commenced operations at its die-cutting production facility; by 2025, the company established itself at the Tiezishan site in Bao'an District, expanding and upgrading its facility to a 2,800 m² standardized factory equipped with a cleanroom and two additional round-cutting machines, and deploying six standardized die-cutting production lines. The company holds ISO9001, ISO14000, and ISO16949 certifications. Its current client base includes manufacturers of mobile phones, cameras, earphones, audio devices, televisions, monitors, automobiles, and other products requiring injection molding or finished goods production. Nurturing the mind with passion, guiding others through growth. Beyond her professional life, public speaking, hosting, and tea art have long been a source of self-cultivation for Zhang Yi. Four years of experience at the Speaking Club have profoundly transformed her mindset and perspective. Previously, she was knowledgeable but lacked the willingness to share her insights; today, she delights in empowering others and achieving personal growth. She says, "Seeing others push beyond their limits and grow through my sharing brings me a greater sense of fulfillment than winning an award myself." Zhang Yi presided over the 2024 Greater Bay Area Electronics Summit and the 56th Electronic Components Resource Matching Event. Zhang Yi presided over the annual corporate meeting. The art of tea drinking serves as her personal way of calming her mind. Given the fast-paced lifestyle and work environment in Shenzhen, she uses tea to cultivate her inner peace and apply serenity to navigate life's challenges; through the process of brewing tea, calming her mind, and reflecting upon her thoughts, she nurtures her emotions and refines her character, enabling her to remain clear-headed, composed, and calm amidst the myriad demands of her business career. Zhang Yi believes that all her passions ultimately contribute to her professional success. Her strong expressive abilities allow her to better empower her network; her keen empathy enables her to serve her clients more effectively; and her steadfast composure helps her manage her enterprise with greater confidence. Zhang Yi performed a tea art ceremony at the 18th Anniversary Celebration of the Shared Alliance. From HR to procurement, from senior corporate executives to an entrepreneur specializing in exhibition services, and from event management to physical manufacturing operations – every career transition Zhang Yi has undertaken was never merely a trend-following move, but rather a strategic step forward driven by the continuous refinement and evolution of every path she had traveled, every hardship she had endured, and every piece of experience she had accumulated – all of which continue to add value to her journey. When speaking about the future, she remains humble and committed to continuous improvement: "I will continue to dedicate myself fully to my work in the industrial sector and exhibition management, but on the path of lecturer empowerment, I need to keep refining my approach and achieving new breakthroughs." She also plans to leverage her downtime to effectively manage the Business Communication Practice Camp, aiming to truly help participants showcase their skills, transform their knowledge into tangible value, and turn their words into business opportunities. As she once wrote to herself: "Use humility to build a network of connections; use perseverance to pursue your career." Here, Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) and Slkor wish Zhang Yi continued success in serving more enterprises and thriving business ventures!

The development trajectory of Huaqiangbei can be broadly divided into the following five stages:Phase I: The Industrial Foundation Period (1979–1988). As Shenzhen's earliest developed industrial zone, the Shangbu Industrial Zone hosted a number of large enterprises, including SEG, Huaqiang, and Laiyinda. In March 1988, the SEG Group utilized its existing industrial facilities to establish the SEG Electronic Supporting Market—a move widely regarded as the birthmark of Huaqiangbei. Phase II: Market Prosperity Period (1988–2007). The SEG Electronics Market was gradually expanded to cover the entire building, and the Huaqiang Group promptly followed suit by converting its factory premises into the Huaqiang Electronics Market. In 1994, Wanjia Department Store moved in, effectively revitalizing the surrounding commercial environment; subsequently, the "One-Meter Counter" phenomenon emerged, and the "front-store, back-factory" model took shape. After China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, global demand for electronic components surged significantly. Specialized markets such as the Metropolis Building and New Asia were successively established, and Huaqiangbei's customer base and sales network began to expand internationally. Photo taken at the Huaqiangbei Museum Phase III: The Peak Era of Copycat Mobile Phones (2007–2013). In 2007, the mobile phone production licensing system was abolished, leading to a rapid expansion in the scale of mobile phone manufacturing and shipment at Huaqiangbei. According to relevant statistics, the annual shipment volume had reached approximately 150 million units by around 2006. In 2008, Huaqiangbei was honored with the title of "China's No.1 Electronics Street"; its daily visitor traffic once ranged between 500,000 and 800,000 people, and the area gave rise to numerous billionaires. Phase IV: The Transition Adjustment Period (2013–2020). Between 2013 and 2017, the construction of Metro Line 7 led to the closure of major thoroughfares and constrained transportation conditions; simultaneously, the decentralization of online e-commerce diminished the bustling foot traffic in Huaqiangbei. Coupled with the government's strengthened efforts to protect intellectual property rights and its crackdown on the sale of counterfeit products, this situation resulted in a significant exodus of merchants and the recurrent emergence of vacant storefronts, subjecting the overall commercial ecosystem to substantial adjustment pressures. Phase V: The Era of New Quality Productivity and the Rise of the Maker Movement (2020–Present). In early 2025, Huaqiangbei was designated as the "Leading Street for the Origin of New Quality Productivity." Building upon its well-established smart hardware supply chain hub, government authorities actively promoted the development of a maker ecosystem, with a focus on emerging sectors such as drones, AI glasses, and robotics. The region's annual transaction volume grew from approximately RMB 400 billion in 2024 to around RMB 480 billion in 2025; the average daily number of foreign buyers and visitors exceeded 7,000, reflecting a steadily increasing level of internationalization.

The Shangbu Industrial Zone was the precursor to the Huaqiangbei business district. In the early 1980s, the Shenzhen Municipal Urban Construction Planning Committee decided to develop an industrial zone centered on the electronics industry and contract manufacturing operations in the area now known as Huaqiangbei, naming it the Shangbu Industrial Zone. At that time, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone had been established only recently; the Shangbu Industrial Zone was considered part of the suburban area and was one of the first industrial zones planned under Shenzhen's "Attracting Domestic Resources and Linking with External Markets" strategy. Large enterprises operating in the machinery, energy, aviation, electronics, and textile industries concentrated their investments or established branch offices here; buildings such as the CGN Building, AVIC Garden, China Electronics, Aihua, Sanga, and Jinghua were successively completed. Among the six major municipal state-owned enterprise groups, the headquarters of five—Sage, Energy, Petrochemicals, Textiles, and Light Industry—were all located here, and over a hundred joint ventures invested in this area, forming a "clustered, segmented" industrial space along the main thoroughfare. Photo taken at the Huaqiangbei Museum Huaqiangbei is the core area of the Shangbu Industrial Zone. In March 1988, the SEG Group established the SEG Electronic Supporting Market on Huaqiangbei North Road; initially, it comprised more than 160 manufacturers and 10 Hong Kong-based businesses operating under their own management and sales systems, marking the embryonic form of the Huaqiangbei electronics market. In 1994, the "Wanjia Department Store" – a subsidiary of the Vanke Group – opened its doors in this area, revitalizing the local commercial scene. Subsequently, various commercial projects—including the Manha Shopping Mall, Women's World, New Dahao Garment City, and Golden Lighting – were successively launched, further enhancing the vibrant commercial atmosphere of Huaqiangbei. With the rise of the electronics manufacturing industry in the Pearl River Delta, the demand for electronic components surged significantly. Driven by leading enterprises such as Huaqiang Electronics Market and SEG Electronics Market, specialized electronics markets—including Xin Asia, Gaoke De (the former site of the Xin Dahao Garment City), and Guoli—emerged successively, while markets for categories such as watches, gifts, 3C digital products, and telecommunications equipment also began to establish themselves in the area. This commercial prosperity led to rising rental costs, prompting factories within the industrial zone to gradually relocate. As a result, the Shangbu Industrial Zone transformed from a traditional factory district into the "Huaqiangbei Business District" and an electronic component trading hub, ultimately evolving into the nationally renowned "China's No.1 Electronics Street."

Shared Procurement Alliance is one of China’s influential procurement communities. It connects 60,000 procurement practitioners with more than 100,000 supplier enterprises. Its chapters cover over ten cities across China and have expanded to Vietnam and Thailand. The community originated from a QQ group created by founder Chen Xuepeng back in 2007, when he worked as a procurement specialist at Foxconn. After nineteen-year development, it has evolved from a simple group chat into a full-fledged supply-chain ecosystem. As an enterprise member of the Alliance, the editorial team of Slkor Semiconductor visited the Alliance’s headquarters for this issue, conducting an interview with Chen Xuepeng to hear his story of how a QQ-group grew into a professional industry platform. Chen Xuepeng, Founder of Shared Procurement Alliance Growth: From a QQ Group to "A Big Family for Procurement Professionals" The idea to establish the Shared Procurement Alliance stemmed from the real-life dilemmas faced by procurement practitioners: limited access to professional contacts and resources at work, and a lack of reliable channels for peer-to-peer learning. Chen Xuepeng had a straightforward vision at that time — to build a circle where procurement staff could expand connections, locate resources and offer mutual support. That marked the embryonic form of the Alliance. For the first ten years, the platform operated entirely on a non-profit basis. There was no revenue model nor full-time staff. Members were brought together through weekly offline exchange meetings, industry salons and outdoor events. Relationships back then were genuine. Participants interacted purely as friends without any interest-driven ties. Today, the Alliance manages more than 600 WeChat groups. Those junior procurement staff in the early days have now grown into procurement managers and procurement directors. The trust accumulated over nearly two decades has become the platform’s most valuable asset. Chen Xuepeng during the interview What has kept the Alliance going for nearly two decades is user stickiness, its core advantage that sets it apart from other platforms. According to Chen Xuepeng, many comparable platforms collapse within two or three years. Their common pitfall lies in the fact that they hold no genuine resources themselves, while merely attracting parties seeking customers.From the very beginning, the Alliance has centered on buyers, building "a big family for procurement professionals" and fostering a sense of ownership among procurement practitioners. More importantly, reputation has always been its top priority. Over the years, it has resisted all short-term temptations such as selling member contact data. Members of Shared Procurement Alliance visit Slkor Semiconductor This persistence has yielded exceptionally strong user stickiness. The Alliance charges almost no fees: apart from training courses, all events and resource-matching services are completely free of charge. Every week, training sessions, resource-matching meetings and industry salons are regularly held in Shenzhen, Dongguan, Huizhou and other cities. More than a dozen badminton clubs and public-speaking clubs also keep operating. As an enterprise member of the Alliance, Slkor Semiconductor also takes part in its activities. The Alliance once hosted a salon at Slkor’s Shenzhen headquarters, where dozens of procurement members visited the company. They attended technical briefings and product sharing sessions delivered by Slkor’s technical staff, and the event was very well-received. Transformation: From a Non-profit Community to an Industrial Ecosystem With more than ten years of procurement experience, Chen Xuepeng noticed that most practitioners in this field came from unrelated backgrounds. Society generally holds the misconception that procurement requires no professional expertise. Some business owners prefer assigning procurement positions to their relatives rather than hiring qualified specialists. Young newcomers eager to learn receive little on-the-job guidance after joining companies, as senior staff are reluctant to provide mentorship, and there is no dedicated procurement major in universities. For these reasons, he launched procurement training programs back in 2011. Shared Procurement Alliance holds the 1st Advanced Procurement Skills Training Course The training curriculum is fully practice-oriented. The beginner courses target procurement clerks, intermediate courses are designed for procurement engineers, and advanced courses serve procurement managers and directors. Specialized courses covering various raw materials including hardware, plastics, packaging, batteries, PCBs and chips are also available, focusing on material composition, manufacturing processes and market conditions.The Alliance currently has more than 70 lecturers, most of whom are front-line supply-chain veterans from large enterprises such as Foxconn, TCL and ZTE. Boasting 10- to-20-year-plus hands-on experience and solid knowledge of standardized management systems, their lectures draw entirely from real-world practice, ranging from basic business communication and work reporting to department coordination and anomaly handling. Shared Procurement Alliance Electronic-Material Industry Resource-Matching Summit With its training system well-established, the Alliance began to expand overseas. As manufacturing shifted toward Southeast Asia, the Alliance took the lead in setting up chapters in Bac Ninh of Vietnam and Rayong of Thailand. It has also gathered abundant resources of Chinese-funded enterprises across Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia and Singapore.According to Chen Xuepeng, companies investing and building factories in Vietnam can only enjoy tariff preferential policies when over 30 % of their raw materials are sourced locally. Newly-arrived enterprises often have little local market knowledge, and the Alliance acts as their resource navigator. At present, there are more than ten WeChat groups in Vietnam covering five to six thousand enterprises, while the Thailand chapter has assembled over one thousand member companies. Group photo at the first gathering of Chen Xuepeng and Wuhan Chapter of Shared Procurement Alliance After 2017, Chen Xuepeng began full-time operation of the Shared Procurement Alliance and started exploring a sustainable business model. Training programs, enterprise membership services and exhibition services were successively launched.In 2026, he rolled out two new revenue-generating projects. The first is centralized procurement, which consolidates scattered demands from small-sized enterprises into large-volume orders to negotiate better pricing with upstream suppliers and help companies cut costs. The second is in-depth member engagement, enabling procurement practitioners within the platform to act as promotion nodes for enterprise-member clients, so as to realize the closed-loop circulation of procurement and sales resources on the platform. Shared Procurement Alliance attends 2023 International New Materials Exhibition Even more promising are the under-construction B2B industrial internet platform and the newly-established Supply Chain AI Application Research Institute. In his view, AI will penetrate every industry and occupation within the next three to five years. "If we fail to embrace AI, we will be outcompeted by those who do." Once the new platform goes live, procurement requirement posting, supplier responses and order matching will all become digital and visual, breaking free from the current limitations of relying on WeChat groups and Excel spreadsheets. Roots: Let the Tree of Business Take Root in Society While achieving continuous commercial progress, the Alliance has never forgotten to ground itself in society. Since 2014, it has provided one-on-one financial aid to nearly 300 underprivileged students across Xizang, Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei and other regions. Each student receives an annual grant of 2,000 RMB until their graduation from university. Chen Xuepeng often leads field-visit teams in person. On one occasion, he drove more than 6,000 kilometers across multiple provinces to visit the sponsored students. Shared Procurement Alliance visits special-needs children In addition, the Alliance organizes annual outreach activities including visits to nursing homes and orphanages, as well as donations for mountain-area primary schools. Donated supplies cover multimedia blackboards, football fields, water heaters and electric fans. Volunteers also celebrate Children’s Day together with local children.During this year’s "520 Outdoor Clean-up Day", Chen Xuepeng took his son to collect litter. From his perspective, setting a good example through personal conduct represents the best form of education for children. Chen Xuepeng leads the team to spend Children’s Day with kids at school Off-the-Stage: The Other Side of Chen Xuepeng Stepping into Chen Xuepeng’s office, a record player and a guitar stand quietly in the corner. After wrapping up his busy work for the Alliance, he picks up the guitar to play for a while, goes live to sing a few songs for relaxation, and occasionally plays ensemble music with friends in the park or takes on some performance gigs. This serves as his gateway to the world of music, an outward outlet for his long-cherished musical dream. Chen Xuepeng performs outdoors with friends When talking about his hometown Yongzhou in Hunan Province, Chen Xuepeng speaks with obvious pride. "Last year, the Yongzhou team beat the Changde team 1-0 and claimed the championship of the first Hunan Super Football League." During the tournament, he put up billboards in his hometown bearing the slogan: "Based in Shenzhen, heart tied to my hometown". Even though he could not travel back to watch the matches in person, he promoted Yongzhou’s cultural tourism via WeChat Moments and short-video platforms, hoping that more people would get to know and visit Yongzhou. Shared Procurement Alliance 18th-Anniversary Celebration Looking back on the past nineteen years, the motto "Share Resources, Connect the World" has evolved from a simple slogan into a platform gathering 60,000 procurement practitioners and more than 100,000 supplier enterprises. According to Chen Xuepeng, he aims to build a global supply-chain business ecosystem based on the existing foundation. Yet his core mission remains unchanged: to drive the sound development of the procurement profession and enable more efficient resource connection, which is what he will keep pursuing. At present, the teams of Kinghelm and Slkor Semiconductor have gradually integrated into the ecosystem built by the Shared Procurement Alliance and found their own value within it. Mr. Song Shiqiang extends his best wishes for the Alliance’s continued prosperity.
