"Entry-level players" in the field of native products import, "small bosses" in zipper manufacturing, and international students ... they got on the same bus because of China International Import Expo (CIIE)!

A year ago, we met Shanghainese Yang Jun and his partners, Bangladeshi students Saf and Tanghe, for attending China International Import Expo. Yang Jun cooperates with Saf to try to introduce Bangladeshi jute products into China, and at the same time, they are also trying to find more trade opportunities.

In character, Yang Jun is anxious, earnest and meticulous, while rousseff is slow and informal.

Last year, at China International Import Expo (CIIE), we were deeply impressed by the comparison between the two partners. A year later, the third Expo was held, but Saf was not in Shanghai.

Yang Jun believes that he is still in the groping stage in importing jute products from Bangladesh. Saf, the partner of China International Import Expo (CIIE) this year, is not here. How will Yang Jun face it alone?

Yiwu, which is more than 280 kilometers away from Shanghai, is known as the "commodity capital of the world". According to the news released by Yiwu Customs, in 20 19, Yiwu's foreign trade exports totaled 286.79 billion yuan, while imports only amounted to 9.99 billion yuan. At present, this small commodity capital is brewing its next ambition-to become an import commodity trading center one day.

Huang is the owner of a zipper manufacturing enterprise in Yiwu.

Huang: There are four buildings altogether.

Huang: It's full. We have the whole zipper production line, including our own testing and research center.

Huang said that he started his business in 1998, starting from a small workshop. At that time, the whole family went into battle together, and he was wearing several hats.

For more than 20 years, the factory has been continuously expanded and upgraded, realizing the vertical integration of every process of zipper production, replacing intensive manpower with mechanization, which can be regarded as the completion of the primary and intermediate stages of industrialization.

Huang: After several years of development, the zipper industry may not be able to compete with international brands at home, because high-end products are mainly concentrated in Japan, the United States, Switzerland, as well as Germany and Italy.

Huang said that because the added value of the product is not high and it is only used for export, when the exchange rate fluctuates, "profits will fly away like cooked ducks" is helpless. So he wants to change and try to import other goods. Last year, Huang He met at China International Import Expo.

According to the regulations of the organizer, all participants in this Expo must provide valid nucleic acid reports and other health documents before they can get admission.

Shanghai has set up a number of special sampling points to provide nucleic acid detection services for participants. While waiting for the results of nucleic acid test, Yang Jun went to Yiwu. He wants to meet Huang.

Huang said that he needs enough patience and frequent trial and error to switch from export to import, just like finding a way before dawn.

Huang said that he did not specialize in learning English, but taught himself through years of foreign trade and export business.

Invincible: More than two years, almost three years. Coming to China is my first time to go abroad, and I plan to stay in China all my life.

Invincible: Yes, I will stay if I have the chance. I have been to more than 40 cities and Yiwu 8 times.

Invincible: This is the ninth time. I study international trade in China. I am a business student, so I have to learn to do business. This is a good opportunity for Chinese businessmen. China is duty-free on 5,000 Bangladeshi products. (Bangladesh is listed as the least developed country by the United Nations and enjoys preferential tariffs)

His name is invincible, and he is 28 years old. He is also a Bangladeshi student studying international trade at Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics. Invincible is the Chinese name he gave himself after he came to China. When you meet invincible, you take the initiative to say that your Chinese level is not enough to communicate.

Huang: Invincible took advantage of his strengths, my resources and his resources. Can we try a new mode of import and export trade? Let's have a live broadcast, such as shaking hands, right?

Huang: There is potential. I think I can promote his growth, but we will combine import and export, let China go out and let Bangladeshis come in. I think this is a two-way street, so we can do this.

Huang intends to invite Invincible to his home for two days. Invincible will go to Shanghai to attend China International Import Expo (CIIE) on June 5th. 165438. Finally, three people who have similar dreams about the future and are trying to find opportunities got on the same bus.

Foreign trade opportunities in Yiwu? !

Not far from the famous Yiwu commodity market, it is the import commodity trading center that Yiwu has made great efforts to build in recent years.

According to Huang, in order to encourage local enterprises to carry out import trade, the Yiwu municipal government has provided free venues for countries to set up import exhibition halls for three years. Private enterprises are responsible for the decoration and operation of these national pavilions.

Huang: I feel that Bangladesh's economic foundation is relatively weak and backward. For businessmen, there are more opportunities and greater opportunities. We can explore. Let's discover and explore.

Yang Jun: So it is the least developed country. Their products go abroad duty-free, and their exports to Europe are free.

Huang: This happens occasionally. I think the most important thing is to promote through various channels. If it is broadcast live by online celebrities and promoted by their local nationals, I think the effect will be twice the result with half the effort.

For Huang, and invincible, webcasting is a brand-new challenge. Invincible must practice Chinese hard first, and Huang He has been in the business for many years, but now he has to bend over and study hard.

Invincible: the future prosperity of Yiwu's import and export trade.

Huang: Sometimes you have to explore, just like Tanzania and Kenya.

Huang He, who has been in the market for many years, understands that the truth of competition is to avoid competition as much as possible, and the essence of trading is mutual benefit. So what does this young Bengal player who hasn't really entered the business world think-invincible?

Invincible: I need his help because he is a big shot here. Doing business is not easy, so you need the support of others. Did he tell you what I needed?

Invincible: I don't know

Invincible: I haven't decided yet. My big plan is to do import and export trade. I think Yiwu is the best place to do business.

Amateurs, novices and intermediate players bravely broke into the Expo!

Yang Jun said that he had made an appointment with a businessman, and now he would go to her booth to talk about the sale of Bangladeshi jute products. The invincible bus of Yiwu Pavilion also arrived at the exhibition hall. Huang, the boss of Yiwu zipper enterprise, didn't come to Shanghai with invincible.

At that time, Yang Jun was on his way to see a businessman. He asked Invincible to meet him at the meeting place later. Invincible, considering that his Chinese is not good enough, decided to keep company with Xu Qianfeng, a businessman he just met.

Xie He, both from Wenzhou, has worked hard in Yiwu for many years. He was specially appointed as the director of the French Buyer Service Center by the Yiwu Department of Commerce, and this is his third consecutive time to attend the China International Import Expo.

Driver: The exhibition hall is only one stop from your subway station.

X: We don't know how to take the subway.

Driver: You take the subway for one stop, and you will reach the end. Your place is the penultimate stop, and the last stop is the exhibition hall.

X: Well, I'll know next time.

Driver: Sometimes it takes five minutes by subway, and sometimes it takes us half an hour to drive.

Although Xie doesn't know how to take the subway in Shanghai, he has been to more than a dozen countries.

Xie is now engaged in cosmetic import trade. He said that he started as a small commodity exporter in Yiwu in his early years and began to import a few years ago. At the peak, there were more than 65,438+000 franchisees and franchisees in China.

X: We used to think it was too simple. It is very, very difficult to actually operate this import, and the pressure is very, very high. Before, our products reached a maximum of 10 thousand bar codes, which was too much. Now we don't have 1000 species. We have been losing weight, and now we must lose weight. My cognition is that brand is the only magic weapon to compete with others in the future.

X: You can't form a brand without three, five or ten years' precipitation. However, the investment in brand promotion is very large, not to say that the brand can be pushed up easily.

, Invincible and Xie have different attempts and accumulations in the field of import trade. Today, on the platform of China International Import Expo (CIIE), they each try to find a new breakthrough.

Yang Jun: Just like on a yacht. I'll get you some samples first, because this one is heavy and I can't carry much. This is a carpet. It's very distinctive.

Miss Zhang: This is a mat. It's beautiful.

Yang Jun: It's beautiful.

Miss Zhang: Very good, very personal.

Yang Jun: It's made to order. You can't buy it outside.

Miss Zhang: Is green a popular color this year?

Yang Jun: No, their national flag features. I want to introduce them to sell these things to France through you in the future.

Miss Zhang: This product is similar to that of Morocco. Morocco has such a store in France.

Yang Jun: It depends on your recommendation.

Miss Zhang: No problem. Several fashion brands are looking for my fashion endorsements for them. That's the truth. All right.

Going out early in the morning, I spent nearly two hours on the road and only met for a few minutes, but Yang Jun didn't mind at all. He said it was a rare opportunity to participate in such an exhibition. He doesn't wait for him as he used to. This year, he intends to cast a wide net and attack everywhere.

Perhaps because of the language barrier, Invincible is not well integrated into the dialogue, but it once again shows the potential of online celebrities.

Invincible, a new friend, is seriously looking for the source of imported milk powder. 30 minutes passed quickly. Invincible didn't mean to act alone. He continued to follow Xu Qianfeng to find milk powder.

Xie, who has done import trade, is simple and direct.

X: After so many years, we have seen a lot of things that should be visited abroad, so after coming here, our goals will become more and more clear, which we didn't understand at first. We all want to know about it. But I've been doing it for so many years now, and I think what should be done is still to be done. This product is what I need, so I will learn more about it. As long as you are interested in this product and think it is worth promoting, I will take all the information with my heart and our team will study how to impact the market.

In the corner of the exhibition hall, the booth in South Sudan is somewhat deserted.

Affected by the epidemic, Kuyou, who came to sell gum Arabic, African woodcarving and honey last year, could not come in person and entrusted Hao Jun, a friend in Shanghai, to help.

Yan Bo: What's this? Eat or use?

Hao Jun: This is Arabic gum, which is a food additive. It is not eaten directly like bird's nest.

Yan Bo: You like chewing gum?

Hao Jun: It's chewing gum.

Yan Bo: It's good to make dessert or something. How much is a kilo?

Hao Jun: If it is in China, the sales price will be different, and there will be as many as there are. But basically, if we can make the purchase price almost the same as that of 20 yuan, we can make it almost one kilogram.

Yan Bo: That's not expensive. Can I take some back?

Hao Jun: Take two more tablets now if necessary. I can send you more if you want. I still have some in my office.

Yan Bo: Add a WeChat.

Hao Jun: OK, add a WeChat. Because this is really widely used in the food industry.

Yan Bo: We made that dessert shop, this raw material.

Hao Jun: Yes.

Yan Bo: If it is similar to peach gum, I think it is quite interesting.

Bangladeshi students, first taste of China International Import Expo (CIIE)! The language barrier didn't ruin his dream of becoming a big businessman in China. ...

An hour before the meeting with Invincible, restless Yang Jun began to contact his Bangladeshi friends.

He dialed the telephone of Lydia.

Yang Jun: Hello. Let me show you. I live in Bangladesh. Give them a live broadcast.

At this time last year, Ladiya came to Shanghai from Bangladesh to attend the China International Import Expo (CIIE).

Lydia: Why is your stomach so big? I'm surprised that everything is so big that there is no small one.

Yang Jun: Yes, because China is rich, it has the strength to build big things, which is no problem.

On the other side of China International Import Expo (CIIE), Invincible still hasn't figured out the layout of the exhibition hall.

Invincible: I want to go here.

Volunteer: Hall 4. 1? Hall 4.2? This way.

Invincible: This (how to get there)? Thank you.

Volunteer: On the left.

Invincible: Thank you.

Worried that Invincible couldn't find himself, Yang Jun specially marked the joint location on the map and sent it to Invincible. He thinks it will help invincible. But invincible has slowed down.

Yang Jun received a phone call urging them.

Yang Jun waited for a few minutes. Invincible looks a little anxious, but he still can't hold back.

Yang Jun: Then I have to go. I have arrived. It's impolite (to keep others waiting).

This situation reminds Yang Jun of the Sudanese Armed Forces again.

Yang Jun: Every time I see them, I feel nervous. This time is exactly the same as the last Saf.

A few minutes later, invincible finally came.

However, the one-day exhibition is coming to an end, and Invincible bid farewell to Yang Jun. Because invincible had a class the next morning, he decided to take the night shift green leather train back to Nanchang, Jiangxi.

Invincible: Very happy. Because I met many people, if I hadn't come to China International Import Expo (CIIE), I wouldn't have met so many people and so many goods, which may become business opportunities in the future. I am very satisfied, and this meeting has met my expectations. Actually, I want to devote myself to the friendship between China and Bangladesh, and try to promote the relations between the two countries. I want to be a big businessman in the future, which is my dream.
