The world is their marketplace. And they speak its languages.

In Yiwu, business can happen in just about any language you can think of and probably a few you didn't expect.

Meet the "boss ladies" of Yiwu International Trade City. They speak to customers from every corner of the world, picking up languages along the way, sometimes even learning a few words from the very people they do business with.

For these women, knowing a language is about more than closing a deal. It's about making connections, understanding different cultures and making customers feel at home – no matter where they come from.

CGTN's Yang Xinmeng meets the women behind Yiwu's global trade, where a little language goes a long way.
