According to the time axis, let's take a look at the struggle process of Chinese in Thailand that I have experienced.
Before Thailand, the mainstream Chinese were generally Chaoshan Chinese who were engaged in import and export business such as trade and hardware department stores. They came from the motherland and sold in Thailand. Those who return from Thailand are generally engaged in fruit trade, durian, mangosteen, longan, timber trade, mahogany and oak.
Generally speaking, when Chinese first leave the society, they usually work as translators, Chinese teachers and employees of companies involved in China business.
Thailand is the node where the Chinese language tide has started in Thailand, and the corresponding industries are rich in tourism, such as tour guides, Chinese restaurants, special management, and even local freelance translators and drivers. Benefiting from the upsurge of Thailand in those years, such employees soon became the bosses of travel companies, ticket suppliers of various scenic spots, manufacturers of special gifts, owners of group restaurants, hotel owners, bosses of privately customized free travel companies, bosses of car rental companies and bosses of homestays.
The Thai craze spawned by tourism has excavated the atmosphere in which Hong Kong and Taiwan stars admire Buddhist culture. This is a big tuyere, and pigs can really fly. This upsurge is a wave of big bonuses accumulated rapidly by overseas students in China, Thailand. This is inseparable from the application of WeChat, which is why I said Thailand and WeChat at the beginning. Thanks to the popularity and application of WeChat, Buddha brand has been brought to the public in China. The most popular brand is Butterfly brand, which will be discussed in detail later. However, the red string of Buddhist cards has spawned a group of translators who run temples in Thailand, specializing in temple drivers, and the most profitable ones are Buddhist card dealers. Where there is a demand for goods, there must be a demand for transportation. Logistics companies serving freight began to appear, and there were more than 300 logistics companies in the country during the peak period.
However, the original temple of Buddha brand needs to be inlaid with shells and chains to wear, and the corresponding ornaments are also on fire. This round of development is a lot of translation into Buddhist brand suppliers and logistics company bosses.
Next, Thailand's explosive diet pills, Rangxi diet pills, were banned in China, because the big seller of this diet pills was also caught by fox hunting. However, this round of diet pills became popular, and many practitioners who prescribed diet pills, referred to as WeChat merchants, quickly completed the original accumulation. This kind of diet medicine is prepared for individuals, with remarkable effect and high cost performance. So it's very hot, and the side effect will be chest tightness. So the news of eating diet pills in those years was seen on major media platforms. However, in the past two years, various products produced by Ranfu Hospital have also become popular, and after the attack of fox hunting, with the decline of Ranfu. This is the rise of the star's favorite DC diet pills series. This model is expensive, and it requires one person and one card to file, and the side effects are much lower than burning happiness. This gave birth to the driving business, which was once popular in Thailand to the point of giving up drugs.
With the development, burning happiness has declined because of diet pills, but burning happiness is a hospital that does plastic surgery, so the next step is the development of plastic surgery institutions. We all know that the plastic surgery and transsexual technology in Thailand is absolutely first-class. The development of this wave of medical translation is in demand, and the explosion of plastic surgery institutions has made my once poor circle friends unable to eat. Because of the rise of plastic surgery, I am often too busy to faint on the operating table and have no time to eat. This wave of benefits gave birth to many original translators, who became the bosses of plastic surgery consulting companies. The best education is that 10 invested in a plastic surgery hospital in Thailand and became a shareholder in China.
With plastic surgery, IVF is also popular, because Thai law can choose sex, even twins, and the IVF technology in Thai hospitals is among the top three in the world. Thailand's tourism and medical industries are the pillars of Thailand's economy. This wave of medical translation is surging, and it quickly becomes the boss of IVF intermediary company.
It is said that the products of Burning Happiness Hospital are also very popular, such as breast cream, slimming cream and face-lifting cream. It seems that Pandora's box has been opened, and the relevant practitioners in Thailand seem to understand it. This is the biggest wave in Thailand. It's really the kind that pigs can fly. The tide of buying Thai goods by WeChat business is coming.
At the beginning, Thai products such as snail cream, ELE mask, Collally collagen and chlorophyll broke out rapidly in China, and Thai cosmetics and daily necessities such as BB's milk series blossomed everywhere. Major manufacturers in Thailand are directly facing happiness troubles, and the supply of goods is completely cut off. The Thai goods in Thailand's WeChat business are like sharks that smell blood. They just started eating meat and haven't had enough. What shall we do? On the one hand, the supplier's ability is insufficient. On the one hand, there is a strong demand in China's big market, and finally we have to do it ourselves. On the other hand, digging deep into new products, all kinds of commodities are quickly pushed to the forefront of China's consumption army, and then consumed. Even all kinds of ointment in Thailand, such as tiger patch and sore ointment, such as nasal herbal ointment, are in short supply. Thailand's crocodile skin and pearl fish skin suppliers soon put on the shelves. However, this wave of demand is too strong. Such a small production capacity in Thailand can't meet such a big market in China. The army of Thai goods in WeChat business is faced with the situation of cooking without rice, which has given birth to a product. Latex products represented by latex pillows exploded in Rainbow, Thailand. Latex bedding was invented in Europe before purchasing Thai goods, but it did not enter the mainstream of the market in 10 years, and the king of Thai goods circle blew latex products into the mainstream of the furniture market. This round of latex factory, latex brand OEM, the most popular time, Thailand cargo circle has more than 100 brands. In fact, only 10 manufacturers provide OEM services for them. Of course, there are many small factories, not to mention.
As mentioned earlier, Thailand's production capacity is insufficient, the market is too hot, and the Thai goods army of WeChat business has no rice. What shall we do? We have to admire the brains of China people. We went on to say that Thai goods are on fire. However, it is too much trouble for purchasing agents to collect all kinds of goods in various places and send logistics together after purchasing. Later, the big purchasing became a wholesaler, and the purchasing shop appeared. The shopping store concentrates all Thai goods on itself. The first round is the process of the big fish eat small fish. When there is no rice in the pot, there is a purchasing store to open the golden finger made in Guangzhou. It doesn't matter if Thailand can't supply it. Guangzhou's daily chemical industry is so developed in China that we can realize the production capacity in Guangzhou. Therefore, the localization of new Botai products represented by purchasing stores has been put on the market. At first, I invented my own products in the name of Thai goods, but actually they were made in China. Later, it was developed that all out-of-stock products in Thailand could be made in high imitation 1: 1 Guangzhou, and fakes appeared. You can't see the extent to which fakes can be placed in front of you. This is the economic law. The market is always bad money driving out good money. The next round is the stage when products from the Pearl River Delta will quickly replace those from Thailand. Basically, the whole industry has collapsed, leaving only two or three kittens who insist on the origin of Thailand, but the market can't tell who is conscience, so the situation is difficult. So are latex products. Domestic large-scale production can achieve better quality and cheaper price, and quickly beat Thailand to the dust. Thailand is facing great grief. In a word, heaven is too far and China is too close. The advantages brought by China's industrial system and big market to China's manufacturing industry are really a nightmare for developing countries. Our manufacturing industry is not only the advantages of scale and cost, but also the supporting production of the whole system and the updating of factory production equipment, which are the nightmares of other countries. For example, crocodile leather goods produced in Thailand, the hardware fittings used by manufacturers are all made in China, which will lead to additional transportation costs. This is why crocodile skin products made in Thailand are faster than those made in Guangzhou. For example, crocodile skin products produced in Thailand have to be put on molds, and tools from touch factory have to come to China, which is another disadvantage. Therefore, the crocodile leather goods produced in Guangzhou quickly kill similar products in other countries when the raw materials for breeding crocodiles are supplied by China. This is China's manufacturing advantage, made in Thailand. Far away, back to Thailand. After completing a round of "666" operation, a fake boss bought a Thai manufacturer in turn with strong capital strength, and quickly built a brand operation of Thai localized products and certificates of origin. Through this operation, he washed white and then created explosive Thai goods, and quickly created explosive products through platforms such as Xiaohongshu.
The emergence of the platform gave birth to the rise of live broadcast, and gave birth to brokers, who brought fire to the little stars in Thailand. The popularity of Thai Thai drama and the filming of China TV dramas in Thailand also made some network celebrities and anchors popular, and also provided some opportunities for extras, so there were China model companies, brokerage companies and platform promoters. Famous Thai teachers, Thai teachers among network celebrities, Sister Bingbing, Miss Singing in Water Market, etc. Model companies have shemale and so on, which gave birth to luxury villas, yachts, beach parties and 18+ party industries. This round of self-media, network anchors, media platforms, news media and information platforms have all appeared.
And the electronic water-splashing festival in Thailand has also appeared. In the hottest year, various networks gathered in Bangkok to broadcast the Songkran Festival live. The scalpers of electronic syllables and electronic syllables later became ticket dealers, specializing in speculating electronic syllables, tickets for star concerts and tickets for movie promotion.
Next, the real estate boom. These Chinese in Thailand made money. If they want to buy a house, it will bring fire to Thai real estate. Then Thailand can make money, and a large number of China people will flock to Thailand to do business, which will stimulate the demand of the rental market. Thai real estate agents will become a beacon. The hottest property was once sold without external quota on the opening day of the developer. PS, the foreign investment quota of each property can only account for 49%, and it was bought out by the intermediary or large households before the opening. On the opening day, the intermediary increased the price by about 6,543,800 yuan.
In the middle of Thailand, the change of political power and policy fluctuation affect Thailand's economic development. The first evil was to crack down on the 0 yuan delegation, pouring a pot of ice water on the fire in Thailand. The depression caused that there were only three buses in the parking lot of duty-free shops in Thailand, and the situation that waiters had more shopping guides than guests lasted for half a year. The peak of duty-free shops in Thailand is 700 buses, and the parking lots are full. The Thai government has a strong ability to die. At this time, the non-mainstream is the visa agent, which specializes in serving the informal group of people working in Thailand. Later, it was developed to serve China people who can't fill out entry and exit cards, providing VIP services without queuing and entry and exit cards, as well as airport reception services treated as state guests.
Until now, affected by the death of the Thai government, everything is only slowly recovering. The layout of Alibaba in Southeast Asia and the rise of e-commerce in Thailand gave birth to the rise of logistics from China to Thailand. E-commerce in Thailand was in the stage of Taobao 10 years ago. The local 10 logistics in Thailand is basically Chinese. LAZADA's largest e-commerce platform in Thailand is Alibaba Holdings. The merchants on the platform are mainly from Chaoshan, Fujian and Guangxi. This wave of dividends has attracted the attention of the Thai government. The Thai government stipulates that an account cannot exceed 2 million baht a year and there are 400 transactions. Isn't it wonderful? It's actually just a tax. Kill the goose that lays the golden egg. This round is China's dumped exports to the Thai market. No matter what clothes, shoes, food, spare parts and small household appliances, they quickly occupied the Thai market because of the super cost performance made in China.
Prior to this, a wave of Huaqiang North Chapman came to China, Thailand, and made a fortune by selling mobile phone charging treasures and mobile phone accessories. Holding a two-month short-term visa and a batch of accessories, I almost took more than one million, or even tens of millions, and returned to China. Because the customer channels and pipelines have been established this time, just go back and be directly responsible for the delivery, and the Thai distributors will sell them themselves.
In this process, China people have played all the business opportunities that Thailand can tap, such as gems. Thailand produces rubies and sapphires, and Thailand is also the largest jewelry distribution center in Southeast Asia, because Thailand has the best cost-effective cutting. Jewelers in India and diamond traders in South Africa will process raw materials in Thailand and then sell semi-finished or finished products in Thailand. Thailand also has a jewelry design and processing industry. So all kinds of gems from all over the world are distributed in Bangkok.
Take the Bird's Nest as an example. The Bird's Nest started in Indonesia, and Thailand came from behind. Jin Siyan needs food for its reproduction, and Thailand's long coastline and agricultural-oriented economic model provide the best ecological environment for Jin Siyan's reproduction. With raw materials, Thailand's bird's nest industry will rapidly surpass Indonesian Malay through the processing technology introduced from China.
Thailand also undertook the transfer of backward production capacity in China, and introduced China buildings to participate in infrastructure construction, especially high-speed rail. However, at present, large-scale infrastructure projects such as power grid transformation and commercial buildings in Bangkok, Thailand are all attended by China companies. Typical ones are China Railway Construction and China Construction, and medium-sized enterprises such as Qingdao Construction Engineering in China undertake real estate projects. Sany heavy industry's equipment also penetrated on a large scale.
It's only a matter of time before you know it. I can't expand it in detail. When I have time, I will dig deep into the specific stories of various industries, because each category has many things to dig deep and pits that are easy to encounter. If you are interested in any industry, I will give priority to that industry.
