"It's not easy for Chinese people to do business in Russia. In Russia, many people have a deep-seated aversion to foreigners. This disgust stems from a sense of superiority over the Soviet past, and now they have a hostility to see how fast the Chinese economy is growing while the Russian economy is still mired. In addition, many Russians believe that what they give to China is forests and energy, which are all good things; However, most of what the Chinese sell to Russia is counterfeit and shoddy products. In the impression of Russians, the most representative of the level of Chinese manufacturing is the sī, cheap, and rough craftsmanship of the stall goods. This further exacerbated their dislike for Chinese merchants. On the contrary, businessmen in the developed countries of the West are better off doing business in Russia. Therefore, doing business in Russia is very risky, and these risks come from the police, market managers, customs officials, social security officers, etc., etc., etc., and even from the lack of credit of banks. You also have to take into account the influence of the illegal underground organizations in Russia, which control all the major railway lines in Russia and are inextricably linked to important departments along the railways. However, in Russia, the comprehensive gross profit margin of business is also very high, and it can even reach more than 40 percent, which is already equivalent to the level when China first began to reform and open up. "Aso Kazuki has been in Russia for all these years, although it is said that she has always taken the upper route, but her understanding of Russia is the most profound one among the people present. In a few sentences, the pros and cons of the Chinese entering Russia to do business were clearly explained.

The comprehensive gross profit margin is 40 percent, which is already quite an astonishing amount, and it is no wonder that Chinese businessmen are faced with layers of Russian customs, and they would rather risk the confiscation of goods to enter Russia through "gray customs clearance". However, Fang Mingyuan naturally won't consider any "gray customs clearance", with the influence of Carrefour Supermarket and Aso Kazuki's relationship in Russia, entering the customs through normal channels is the right way, and he can't be wronged for that little tariff, anyway, the wool is out of the sheep

"Moreover, I believe that many of China's products can be sold in Russia, but the quality of the goods must be guaranteed. Fang, don't look at Russia's current economic recession, but Russia still has a considerable number of middle class, so the more high-end goods in Russia, the more profitable. Kazuki Aso pointed to the storefronts in the Gumme department store. Fang Mingyuan nodded, these statements of Aso Xiangyue were basically consistent with the Russia he knew in his previous life, and they were also roughly in line with the Russian situation collected by Sun Zhaolun.

On this point, he and Sun Zhaolun also argued, about Carrefour supermarket if it was said about the positioning of overseas markets. Sun Zhaolun naturally believes that it should be positioned for the general public, as in China, to provide the most similar goods at the lowest price, and to exchange quantity for profit. However, Fang Mingyuan believes that the overseas market of Carrefour supermarket should be positioned according to the specific situation, and he believes that the main service object of Carrefour supermarket overseas should be the middle class of various countries, rather than ordinary people at the bottom.

Needless to say, the developed countries in the West are mostly middle-class, and the number of the top rich and the poor class at the bottom is relatively small, and they are in the shape of jujube kernels, so the political situation in the developed countries in the West has always been relatively stable, which is recognized by the world.

And like the markets of those emerging countries, although it is said that the people at the bottom account for the majority, like China, Fang Mingyuan believes that there are several major drawbacks to listing them as the main objects of consumption.

First of all, in any case, Carrefour supermarkets are imported products for the citizens of these countries, with the rise of nationalism in Shijie countries, there will be more and more trade frictions in the future, if Carrefour supermarkets occupy too much retail market share, it is bound to cause great dissatisfaction among local businessmen, and it will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future. But if it's just a small fight, it's not worth the trouble for Carrefour supermarkets to enter the country's market.

Second, Fang Mingyuan has never forgotten that in his previous life, he had become a big country in Shijie manufacturing, and he was already the second largest economy in Shijie, and the status of Huaxia Manufacturing in Shijie's second-rate or even third-rate products was a pain that could never be erased in the hearts of all knowledgeable Chinese people. Huaxia's products rarely have their own brands abroad, and even if they do, they are not well-known brands of shijie. Their own factories can only OEM for those well-known shijie brands and earn the most insignificant wages, while those foreign brands can take more than 90% of the profits. To innovate, to have their own brand, I don't know how many years, but the results are few. Since you want your brand to become a first-class brand in the world, you have to look up to yourself first, and the Vorma Group is also oriented to the public in the United States, but in China, Vorma Supermarket is definitely the high-end of the supermarket chain.

Third, Fang Mingyuan felt that Carrefour supermarkets could establish new subsidiaries in joint ventures with local businessmen and register new brands to compete in the lower-end markets of these countries, just like Carrefour Group's Dia Tiantian. In this way, Carrefour supermarkets can not only ensure their profits overseas, but also avoid direct conflicts with local merchants as much as possible. This is the long-term way to make money.

The group walked around the mall casually, and Fang Mingyuan was also paying attention to the prices of various luxury goods here, and comparing them with those in China. Compared with China, Gum Department Store is not only much more complete in terms of the variety of goods, but also some brands, Fang Mingyuan has not seen in China at all. And from the price point of view, many goods are also cheaper than in China. This is not Fang Mingyuan's expectation, after all, the level of tax collection by the domestic government is definitely one of the best in Shijie big countries.

"Really, it's so troublesome to buy a bag" Zakharov leaned on the railing outside the store, looking at a few girls in the store who were chirping and looking at the goods, a little helpless.

"Well, don't be so impatient. There's your sister in there. The young man on the side laughed in a low voice. Several other peers laughed and persuaded Zakharov to be more patient. It is clear that Zakharov has the highest position in this group. First, Zakharov's parents are high-ranking officials in the Russian government, second, the Zakharov family also has some influence in Moscow, and third, it is also because Zakharov is an official assistant professor at Moscow University.

Moscow State Moscow University, the full name of Moscow State Moscow University Méng Nosov, is the largest and oldest comprehensive higher education school in Russia. Many shijie celebrities, as well as important figures in Russian politics and science, graduated from this program. Five of the university's Hall of Fame have won Nobel Prizes, including Pavlov, a well-known scientist in China.

Moscow State University has 4 astronomical observatories, 3 museums, a botanical garden with an area of almost 50 hectares, as well as various scientific institutions and laboratories, as well as squares, sports grounds, gymnasiums, theaters, auditoriums, etc. The total area is 320 hectares. The university has 16 departments, more than 50 majors, and gathers first-class academicians, professors and doctors of the Academy of Sciences in China, with about 30,000 students, including international students from more than 100 countries. Moscow State University has repeatedly stressed the importance of becoming a center of scientific education, insisting on teaching in its own Chinese language, and training first-class scholars and specialists.

It is precisely because of the high status of Moscow State University in the Russian educational circles and its innumerable alumni resources in various fields in Russia that Russians have great respect for the faculty and staff of Moscow State University. It's like when an American hears that this is a professor at Harvard University, they first have a little more respect.

Zakharov's ability to become a teaching assistant at Moscow University has already proved his strength - the faculty and staff of Moscow University are not something that everyone can do, even those children of rich families and eunuchs, who do not have any real skills, and it is not easy to get in. What's more, Zakharov is a well-known Russian economist Aleksei A. Maximus Wiki. Professor Bishsev's assistant, Professor Bishsev, has close contacts with many high-ranking officials in the Russian government, and it is said that even Russian President Boris Yeltsin once invited him to the Kremlin to personally seek advice.

So in the circles of young Moscow, Zakharov still has a certain fame. Plus he also has three beautiful girls,

"Huh? Zakharov, look over there, there are two beautiful women over there," someone suddenly pointed to Zakharov and whispered.

"How beautiful is it, can it be more beautiful than my sister?" Zakharov muttered that his sister was a well-known beauty in Moscow's high-level circles. But even so, Zakharov turned his head to look in the direction he was pointing. At this look, Zakharov was stunned on the spot.

"§$No¥※◎◎◎......" Zakharov, who was stunned for a long time, scolded angrily, but the speed of his speech was too fast, and even the people around him did not hear clearly.

"You stay here, if there is anything calling me, I'll go first," Zakharov hurriedly told his companion, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, he quickly ran down the corridor upstairs to the opposite side.

"Zakharov, what's wrong with this? What's wrong? His sister is still in the store. Someone asked, puzzled.

"I don't know, maybe I saw someone I know, right?" Someone speculated.
