We are small, under 50k, will a good factory take us seriously?

Yes, they will take you seriously, depending on how you talk to them. Are you looking for short term or long term? And you have to talk to the owner, not just a sales rep. A Chinese dinner and a glass of baijiu (a strong white rice liquor) with the owner changes the whole game. That is the real game changer. The rest I can tell you personally.
