How a Single Custom Request Forged a Decade-Long Bond
— The Story of Jintong Factory and the Crocodile Mouth Perforated Plate
In the spring of 2015, at Jintong Factory’s sales office, an ordinary workday brought an extraordinary message.
A client—let’s call him Mr. Lee—had been searching for months, across websites and phone calls, hoping to find a manufacturer who could create a very special anti-slip crocodile mouth perforated aluminum plate.
He had a drawing and a dream, but everywhere he turned, he found the same answers:
“Too complicated.”
“Impossible to customize.”
“Sorry, we can’t help.”
On the other end of the world, we read his message, and paused.
The drawing he sent was unlike anything we’d seen. The pattern was intricate, the anti-slip function had to meet the strictest safety standards, and the size wasn’t on any standard catalogue.
Some would have politely declined. But at Jintong, something about Mr. Lee’s perseverance struck a chord. Our engineer said,
“Why not try? Maybe this is the project that pushes us forward.”
The Birth of a Partnership
The journey began with phone calls at odd hours, emails full of questions, and technical discussions that went late into the night. We built the first prototype.
It wasn’t perfect.
Mr. Lee sent it back with polite but clear notes.
We tried again—a second version, this time closer, but still not quite right.
Every setback was a lesson. Every “not yet” from Mr. Lee made us rethink our process, adjust our tools, refine our molds.
Two months passed. The back-and-forth became routine. Our team, used to quick orders, now found themselves invested in the story of a single plate.
Then one day, the message arrived:
“This is it. This is the plate I was searching for.”
The first order was modest—just enough to pay for the raw material and overtime.
But to us, it felt like we had won a championship.
Growing Together
What happened next surprised everyone. Mr. Lee’s customers loved the new anti-slip plate. Orders began to grow.
Every month, another batch.
Every quarter, a bigger shipment.
Each time, Mr. Lee shared feedback from his market, and we learned together—tweaking, innovating, and sometimes just celebrating that we had made something no one else dared to try.
Years went by. Markets changed, logistics got complicated, but the partnership only grew stronger. Today, after almost a decade, Mr. Lee’s orders have increased a hundredfold. Every month, the number is almost unbelievable—at least 300,000 RMB worth of plates, each one a small symbol of trust and teamwork.
The Meaning of Success
Looking back, the story isn’t just about a custom aluminum plate.
It’s about the power of not giving up when things get difficult.
It’s about how helping a single customer with all your heart can change the course of a business.
It’s about believing that, in a world full of “no,” sometimes you just have to be the one who says, “Let’s try.”
And that, perhaps, is the greatest reward.
“By helping our client break his limits, we broke through our own.”
If you have a challenge that no one else will take, maybe your story can start with us, too.
