Chapter 1036: Layout Southeast Asia

On January 20, a large delegation led by State Councilor Han Jinshan visited Southeast Asian countries. The first stop is Vietnam, which has a land area of only 330,000 square kilometers, but it is home to a population of 85 million, ranking 13th in the world.

The average age of Vietnamese people is no more than 30 years old, and the potential spending power is very considerable, and there is a vast market space in the 10 ASEAN countries. This subtropical region is rich in natural resources and has an incalculable growth potential, and many believe that it could become the last investment hotspot in Southeast Asia.

This visit has made everyone full of expectations for this country, which is not the red era, and ideology can no longer be the link between the two countries. Between countries, in this 21st century, there is more of a naked entanglement of interests.

Xu Jia was amazed by the army of motorcycles he saw along the way: "In this country, the ownership rate of motorcycles seems to have exceeded the ownership rate of Huaxia bicycles, which is really the best business opportunity!" ”

"Not so optimistic!" Liu Feng shook his head with a wry smile, the situation here, he specially invited international institutions to conduct research, "Vietnam's motorcycle market is amazing, and there are more than 18 million registered in Vietnam.

Most of the motorcycles running on the roads of Ho Chi Minh City are Japanese cars, and the most expensive Honda SH150cc scooter in Vietnam, worth more than 50,000 yuan per scooter, this kind of car is not uncommon in Ho Chi Minh City. The 110cc regular car is the most common, with Japanese cars around 8,000, Korean cars 5,000, and Huaxia cars 2,500. ”

"Huh? How can the difference be so big? Xu Jia didn't expect it to be like this, "Could it be that there is really such a big gap between Huaxia motorcycles and South Korea and Japan?" ”

Liu Feng sighed: "When Huaxia motorcycles first entered Vietnam, they were very prosperous and their market share expanded rapidly, and then because of the large influx of some inferior products from Huaxia, prices and sales also shrank rapidly.

In order to increase sales, some Huaxia parts suppliers even instigated Vietnamese businessmen to buy some low-cost and inferior parts to assemble them back to reduce costs, and then because of quality problems, Vietnamese consumers thought that Huaxia motorcycles were not good, and Vietnamese businessmen made money, and finally the blame was attributed to Huaxia motorcycles. ”

"How can this be?" Governor Xu was furious, "Isn't this a dry river and fishing!" ”

"Because of the quality of Huaxia motorcycles, most Vietnamese people think that all Chinese products are inferior, and all Japanese products are of high quality."

Liu Feng's voice didn't seem to have any emotion, in fact, his heart hurt very much: "Vietnamese people even have an almost religious worship of Japanese goods, mainly because there are many Japanese Honda motorcycles from decades ago still running on the roads in Vietnam.

The earliest one was produced in Japan in 1950, the most famous is the Honda 67 model, and even many people who buy second-hand cars would rather buy the Japanese 67 model at the same price, rather than only driving the Huaxia car for 3 years, some Japanese scrapped car parts are more expensive than the new parts of Huaxia! ”

For Liu Feng, who single-handedly built the Northern Motorcycle, such a result almost made him embarrassed, and the original creation of the Northern Motorcycle was to get a piece of the pie from the little devils, so he deliberately chose the German technology, rather than the cheaper Japanese manufacturers.

Xu Jia was also angry: "Many things in Huaxia are done by profiteers!" ”

Liu Feng shook his head: "Wrong, it's a matter of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, the right to approve imports and exports is in their hands, if they implement a strict examination and approval policy, instead of greedy for petty profits, how can they spoil Huaxia's commodities to such an extent in the world!"

After all, with China's economic control, it is not an ordinary difficulty to smuggle, and only formal channels will make these inferior goods popular in the world, and make the Chinese people and the government lose face in front of the world! ”

The conversation between Xu Jia and Liu Feng attracted the attention of State Councilor Han Jinshan and the ambassador on one side, and Han Jinshan came over: "Professor Xiao Liu, do you think that this trip to Vietnam will be in vain?" ”

This question was very abrupt, which made the ambassador next to Han Jinshan a little stunned, this is the legendary Professor Liu? However, it seems that a state councilor's inquiry to him seems to be a bit against the sky, and what is even more excessive is that this person does not seem to take the state councilor's inquiry too seriously!

"Although it is true that there have been some bad effects before, there are ways to reduce them." Liu Feng thought for a while and replied, "The population base of 85 million people is equivalent to one-fifteenth of the total population of China, and the industrial base here is so weak, which is the reason why Japanese and Korean products are popular." ”

Gan Lin frowned: "Now it seems that the people here are more willing to invest for life at one time, and high-priced and high-quality Japanese and Korean goods will be so popular, which is indeed a smart approach, and there is no chance for Chinese products!" ”

"Hey, profiteers have mistaken the country!"

Han Jinshan doesn't seem to agree with Liu's point of view, think about it, attributing the responsibility to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Liu is nothing, if it comes out of the mouth of his state councilor, the impact will be too great, and it will cause a high-level political earthquake!

"Doing business or engaging in marketing is nothing more than doing what it likes and meeting the market demand." Liu Feng smiled slightly, "If you produce high-end motorcycles in Vietnam, the quality and price are not cheap, and it must not be difficult to open up sales!" ”

After listening to Liu Feng's words, Wang Zhikun's eyes lit up, Sichuan and Chongqing are now the production base of Huaxia motorcycles: "Professor Liu, did you mean to set up a factory here?" ”

"The manufacturers in Sichuan and Chongqing are not good!" Liu Feng has no idea of saving face for his students, "You can ask the commercial counselor, the most famous one here is probably the motorcycle produced in Sichuan and Chongqing!" ”

Wang Zhikun looked at the commercial counselor a little embarrassed, and the latter nodded with a wry smile: "That's the case, the most dumped in Vietnam in recent years is the motorcycle from Sichuan and Chongqing City, the kind of motorcycle that will fall apart in a few years, most of which are produced by Sichuan and Chongqing OEM manufacturers." For Vietnamese consumers, these fake and shoddy products are all Chinese! ”

The officials present were a little embarrassed, Han Jinshan's face was a little cold, anyone who heard such a result was unacceptable, and they all said that a rat poop spoiled a pot of soup, the problem is that Huaxia seems to have a little more rat feces: "In other words, there is no chance in the southwest?" ”

The motorcycle industrial base of the southwest is in Sichuan and Chongqing, and its reputation is notorious, which means that the motorcycle industry in the entire southwest has no chance in Vietnam. Everyone thinks so, only Liu Feng doesn't see it that way.

"Yes! Of course there is a chance! Liu Feng said firmly, "The quality of the motorcycles produced by Century North Motorcycle Co., Ltd., a joint venture between North Motorcycle and Zhujiang State-owned Asset Management Company, is not inferior to that of South Korean and Japanese cars!" ”

Everyone is bright, the northern motorcycle is famous in China, becoming a rising star in the motorcycle industry. Nowadays, it is not only a well-known motorcycle company in China, but also in the world, Northern Motorcycle also has a place!

After speaking, Liu Feng looked around and beckoned to the side, Dongfang Ling, the boss of Century North Motorcycle Co., Ltd., the boss of Century Huaxia Automobile Co., Ltd., and Zhang Xinxin, the boss of Century Tianjiao Household Appliances Co., Ltd., came over together.

For this visit, Liu Feng still put a lot of effort into it, which is not the same as the last Wang Qing visit! That guy made it clear that he wanted to use someone Liu as a gunman, and he deliberately suppressed it, not to mention Liu Feng, even if it was anyone, he would not be willing to serve such a guy.

What's more, the situation in Southeast Asia at that time was not comparable today, and this visit, whether it was for Guijiang Province or Zhujiang City, Liu Feng was bound to win! Liu has long coveted the huge market in Southeast Asia, but there has been no opportunity to intervene in the past.

If you want to break into this almost closed and exclusive market, it is obviously not advisable to simply import goods, let alone ruin your reputation by inferior goods in the early stage! Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best choice to set up a factory here for production.

Liu Feng introduced to the leaders: "-- The purpose of these delegation's visit is to negotiate with the local government about the construction of the factory. Of course, the construction of the factory must not be a joint venture, must be a sole proprietorship! Not only because of the huge economic benefits, but also because of the loss of key technologies! ”

Lan Yuanyu's eyes were filled with deep love, and this man always seemed to make himself the focus of the scene: "Are these three companies based in Vietnam?" ”

This is everyone's problem, and this trip to Southeast Asia will visit several countries, among which Myanmar, Cambodia, and Thailand, which are politically closer than Vietnam, must have something that can be seen in the past.

Liu Feng nodded: "Yes, because Vietnam and Zhujiang City are the most convenient countries for maritime transportation, and entering Vietnam at the same time is equivalent to opening the door to the Southeast Asian market." Some key components are transported from Zhujiang City to Vietnam, which will not incur too much cost and can also effectively avoid the theft of key technologies. ”

"If that's the case, what about Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand?" "After all, this visit is very important, and the most important thing is to lay a good foundation for the establishment of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area within 10 years, and the start of negotiations between economic ministers and senior officials of various countries." ”

Han Jinshan nodded: "This is the political task of this visit, and the reason why such a large delegation is formed is to pave the way for the Prime Minister to attend the fourth China-ASEAN Leaders' Meeting held in Singapore in November this year, which is of great significance!" ”

"Except for Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines, it is not a problem for the remaining seven countries to share a little benefit!" Liu Feng looked calm, as if he was talking about what to eat for dinner, instead of talking about billions or even billions of dollars in cross-border trade!
