Thanks to the special treatment of the Huaxia courtesy motorcycle, Han Hao was able to follow the national leaders on a visit again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Chinese courtesy motorcycle became an instant hit in the National Day military parade last year, and soon appeared in the reception teams of large and small cities in China, but this time it was the first time it went abroad and began to be equipped on foreign courtesy teams.

Cambodia, a Southeast Asian country with close ties to China, is one of the countries where the No. 1 head of state is on a state visit before attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting.

As a testimony to the friendship between China and Cambodia, 42 Chinese courtesy motorcycles will be donated to the Cambodian government free of charge to form their state guest team.

Therefore, Han Hao, the CEO of Chung Hwa Group, was able to accompany him on the trip, attending the donation ceremony in Cambodia as a guest of honor, and also attended the Asia-Pacific Business Leaders Meeting held in Brunei.

In addition to the informal summit of heads of state, the APEC meeting will also hold a meeting of business leaders to build a platform for communication and exchanges between political and business figures.

Behind the donation of courtesy motorcycles, there is also the strategic intention of Huaxia Motorcycle to enter the ASEAN country Cambodia through Vietnam.

"Director Xiaohan, the quality of your products is excellent, I privately asked the relevant comrades of the reception office, and they said that so far the Huaxia courtesy car has not been out of the chain. This is not easy, I worked in a car shop when I was younger, and I know how hard it takes to ensure the failure rate of mechanical products. ”

The No. 1 leader was still very approachable in private, and when he met with the members of the delegation before the trip, he came to Han Hao to chat.

"As a gift for exchanges between countries, we should pay more attention to the impact of international relations, how are you preparing for the logistics support of this batch of vehicles?"

Facing the question of the No. 1 leader, Han Hao replied calmly.

"Our company has set up a branch in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, and the maintenance of the courtesy car will be solved on the spot in the future to ensure that the phenomenon of dropping the chain and affecting the reputation of the country will not occur!"

For the Cambodian market, Huaxia Motorcycle has entered the distribution point in advance. Although Cambodia has a population of more than 10 million and is one of the poorest countries in ASEAN, there is still a strong market for low-priced motorcycles.

"Young people just want to have such a bold spirit, I am talking about ugly things in front, if there is a problem with this batch of cars, I am the only one who asks!"

Although it is just a joke, the half-truth still reveals the expectations of the No. 1 leader for domestic products.

"Promise not to disappoint the chief!"

Of course, Han Hao had to pat his chest to ensure that no matter how he made a good impression on the chief first.

The special plane arrived at the airport in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, and at this time, the Cambodian side specially sent four Chinese courtesy motorcycles that had just arrived and delivered them to the airport to greet the Chinese guests.

Although the donation ceremony has not yet taken place, the motorcycle has already been delivered to the Cambodian government. In order to welcome the distinguished guests from China, the Cambodian side deliberately showed a positive gesture in this way.

"You see, the quality of our Chinese motorcycles still looks very good, and they are as majestic as abroad. ”

Before stepping off the plane, Chief No. 1 pointed to the motorcycle fleet on the tarmac and whispered in his ear to his wife, who accompanied him on the trip.

It can be seen that the Cambodian government's arrangement has made the No. 1 chief very happy, and welcoming the Chinese guests with Chinese products is the greatest respect given by the Cambodian side.

Seeing his products in a foreign country, Han Hao didn't mention how happy he was in his heart, and there was a sense of pride in his heart.

"It would be great if I could replace the Mercedes Benz that greeted me in the future!"

Cambodia sent a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz S600 to greet the No. 1 chief, and Han Hao couldn't help but fantasize about it in his heart.

The Huaxia courtesy motorcycle is paired with the Zhonghua courtesy car, which will be a scene that people are looking forward to.

It's just that such an unrealistic fantasy is just a flash in the pan, and Han Hao knows that it is basically difficult to realize. If you want to challenge Mercedes-Benz, Zhonghua Group is still very far away, and the century-old store will not be so easily subverted.

Although Phnom Penh is the capital of the country, it is very backward, similar to the construction of a prefecture-level city in western China.

After years of turmoil, the country has finally stabilized politically, and economic development has become the main policy strategy of the government.

As a friendly neighbor, the visit of the No. 1 leader has brought a series of economic assistance programs to Cambodia. Of course, this also provides a national credit endorsement for Chinese enterprises to enter the Cambodian market.

Han Hao's title as China's richest man has also given him more courtesy to the Cambodian government, and it is China's successful experience to attract foreign investment to develop the economy. Now Cambodia also wants to learn from this model so that the country can get rid of poverty as soon as possible.

"Thank you very much for giving us courtesy motorcycles free of charge, and I hope you can carry out more investment activities in our country. I heard that you have opened a branch in Phnom Penh, and the Cambodian government will do its best to protect your investment rights and interests!"

After the closed-door meeting of the heads of state, a series of economic and trade cooperation agreements were signed, and Han Hao also took the stage to sign a formal donation agreement.

After the ceremony, the Cambodian prime minister said to Han Hao through an interpreter.

"Cambodia is like China 10 years ago, it is a very promising market, and we are happy and happy to put down roots here and invest here for a long time. ”

Due to Cambodia's close political relations with China, the domestic market is not open to Western capital for the time being, which greatly facilitates the entry of Chinese-funded enterprises.

Just as the Japanese government has been operating in Thailand for a long time, which has led to Japanese goods running everywhere, and now Chinese goods are also trying to replicate such a route in Cambodia.

However, Cambodia's GDP is less than one-fifteenth of Thailand's, and the market capacity is limited, so we can only look to the future.

"I've heard that your company also produces economy cars, which are also urgently needed in Cambodia. If we can hope that we can reach an economic and trade swap agreement, we can import some vehicles for government use. ”

The prime minister, who is known as Cambodia's political strongman, asked if he could increase cooperation with the China Group.

Cambodia doesn't have much foreign exchange, and if they import Chinese cars, they can't afford to pay for it, and the prime minister means that they plan to barter. Cambodia has mineral, forestry, and fishery resources, which they can use to buy industrial products.

"This may need to be linked up with the relevant departments of our central government, and it should be possible to achieve it with the help of the tripartite trade model. ”

China is now becoming the world's factory, like a giant that eats a lot of raw resources every day, and then spits out all kinds of industrial products. The raw resources that Cambodia can provide are in demand in China, and they are converted into renminbi through the settlement of the State Import and Export Corporation, and then the money is used to purchase industrial supplies domestically and export them. The renminbi has replaced the international settlement currency of the US dollar and has become a small-scale payment circulation.

When the Cambodian side reported to the No. 1 leader about its willingness to purchase Zhonghua Automobile, he attached great importance to it and instructed the relevant departments to cooperate and open up international trade channels for bartering.

To this end, Han Hao temporarily signed an agreement with the Cambodian government to export cars worth 40 million yuan for its use, including micro-buses, pickup trucks, light buses and sedans. The two parties will settle through the intermediary settlement of the China Import and Export Corporation, which will be responsible for guaranteeing the supply.

"This kind of cooperation is very good, not only our government needs to come out, but also enterprises need to come out. No business is not rich, this is true for individuals, and the same is true for the country. ”

The No. 1 leader saw Han Hao and the Cambodian side come to the front desk again to sign the contract, and said to the government staff who followed up.

"Every time the President of the United States visits abroad, he will be accompanied by a large number of entrepreneurs, and in the future, our national enterprises will also strive to go abroad and actively participate in international competition. In this regard, after returning home, the comrades concerned will step up their study of this topic, and I will make a corresponding report at the high-level meeting at that time. ”

It seems that the popularity of the China Group in Cambodia this time has given the chief executive a longer-term plan to a certain extent.

In 2000, the APEC meeting was held in Brunei, and leaders from 21 countries and regions around the world, including China, the United States, and Russia, attended the meeting.

Next year, APEC will be held in China's Hujiang City, which is exactly in line with the background of China's accession to the WTO, and as everyone knows, China's entry into the WTO by the end of 2001 is a foregone conclusion.

Economic globalization, sub-regional economic cooperation, the new economic era, and oil prices have become topics of concern for all leaders, but the hottest ones are still Chinese elements, and many topics cannot bypass China.

Regardless of whether the heads of other countries are happy or not, in short, many "Made in China" daily necessities have quietly appeared around them. The terrible Chinese economic forces have secretly extended their tentacles to every corner of the world, and they hope that after China's accession to the WTO, they will be able to enter this huge market by themselves, and at the same time teach China to abide by the rules of world economy and trade.

China's economy is no longer too large for Western countries to turn a blind eye to, and it is very dangerous to let a huge economy out of global trade integration.

Just like when China mastered the technology of two bombs and one satellite, a closed country with up to one billion people wandered outside the mainstream political arena of the world, which is a very terrible situation. If you are not careful, you may trigger the fuse of World War III. Therefore, against the backdrop of the Cold War when the United States and the Soviet Union were vying for hegemony, they had no choice but to acquiesce to the fact that New China would replace Taiwan, which was located on one island, and restore its status as a permanent member of the UN Security Council to participate in international affairs.

Backwardness will be beaten, and strong can win respect, and it took the Chinese more than 100 years since the Opium War to figure out this truth.

The restoration of the UN Security Council seat is a political victory, and the resumption of GATT is an economic victory, and China is gradually moving towards rejuvenation.

Therefore, the No. 1 leader has won more respect than ever before when he attended the APEC meeting. Many leaders hope to have a closed-door meeting with the No. 1 leader during the APEC meeting.

While the country's leaders were busy meeting, the Asia-Pacific Business Leaders Meeting was also being held, and business elites from all over the world were busy exchanging views in their respective fields.

As a representative of China, Han Hao, the richest man, was also invited to give a speech on his views on the world's automotive industry.

Compared with internationally renowned business giants, Han Hao only has some popularity in China, and his influence in the world is negligible.

This can't be helped, after all, Zhonghua Group's products are only sold in China, and many foreigners have never heard of car brands from China.

Han Hao met one of his acquaintances at the scene, and Ford Chairman Bill Ford also attended the meeting, but he was not invited to give a speech.

Thanks to the popularity of Chinese elements, Han Hao, who is relatively unknown, can represent the Chinese automobile industry on the stage of international exchanges.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the first representative of an auto entrepreneur from China to take the stage. Han, you've inadvertently made history. ”

Bill Ford took the initiative to tease Han Hao.

"I hope you don't cheer in the audience, I'm talking about something a little sharp. ”

Shrugging, Han Hao responded.

As APEC's exchange meeting in the automotive field, many CEOs of internationally renowned companies, including GM, Toyota, and Hyundai, also appeared at the helm.

First, GM's CEO talked about the experience of diversified mergers and acquisitions, and he cited how GM relied on mergers and acquisitions to become a global auto hegemon.

"Consumers have different needs, so we offer different products in each market to maximize satisfaction and market share. M&A of regional brands, through a multi-brand strategy, can allow you to occupy the regional market as soon as possible, so as to achieve an increase in sales. ”

General Motors and Ford Motors, through large-scale mergers and acquisitions around the world over the years, quickly occupied the top two in the global auto market and became well-deserved dazzling stars. Whether it is GM or Ford, there are many brands under their umbrellas, and even consumers who understand cars cannot explain them one by one.

The second is Han Hao's appearance, and the car entrepreneur from China made the scene in an uproar.

As long as those who are familiar with the global automobile pattern know that China's automobile industry is now in a backward position in the world, and the annual sales of the largest car manufacturers do not exceed 300,000 units, and they have to rely on the introduction of technology from abroad. Chinese auto companies are now seeking joint ventures from international auto giants, and without the ability to develop their own technologies, China's auto market share in overseas markets is basically equal to zero.

To measure the degree of development of a country's automobile industry, the accepted standard is to look at the number of cars it exports. Developed countries such as the United States, Japan, Germany, and South Korea are all major exporters of automobiles. But we have never seen Chinese cars in developed countries, because they are too backward to pass the rigorous tests.

Now people in a backward area want to show off in front of the giant elite, how not to let the people below turn on the joke mode.

"Can the Chinese build a car that can run? I guess my son, who is less than three years old, doesn't want to look at it!"

"China is just a very large assembly plant, and they can't design a real car on their own. ”

"I don't know if his appearance is the biggest joke at this APEC meeting! I can guarantee that you will soon hear a speech with the characteristics of the Chinese bureaucracy, and this will be your best lullaby. The Chinese can't say anything new, they just repeat what they actively welcome investment!"

......

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to power, he would make such a big reaction from the crowd below, and Han Hao was quite helpless at this time.
