Chapter 197 Online Commodity Platforms
The Vice Minister of Commerce walked to the rostrum, looked at everyone and said: "Hello everyone, I am Zhang Qiushi, welcome to the Belt and Road Enterprise Forum."
The Belt and Road Initiative has been in place for several years, and some companies have given us feedback that it is difficult to sell products in countries along the route.
Some companies don't know what the other party needs. Some enterprises are inconvenient to communicate and are not familiar with the laws of the country where they are located, resulting in financial losses.
There are companies that encounter fraud there, but have no way to complain. Some companies have already sent the goods, but the contract is cancelled due to traffic problems.
There are also many enterprises that give us feedback on the problems of too many export procedures, complex export settlement tax rates, and complex international bank clearing services.
Today's forum is not to talk about lies and empty words, but to solve the problems that enterprises are most concerned about, that is, to solve the complex problems that have been pending for a long time.
Now the enterprises in the Belt and Road are very scattered, large but not strong. We want to set up a unified platform to provide services to enterprises. Solve the problems that have been highlighted all the time. ”
After Zhang Qiushi, vice minister of commerce, finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.
Li Hao also applauded, and from what he said, it could be heard that the main agenda today was to solve practical problems.
The entrepreneurs present have probably heard it many times. Only real words can cause their mood to fluctuate.
Zhang Qiushi, Vice Minister of Commerce, continued: "Since the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, it has played a very important role in driving our enterprises.
With the investment of the AIIB and major banks, the infrastructure and major projects of the countries along the Belt and Road have stimulated the development of domestic steel, cement, building materials and other fields.
It has also led to the development of China's machinery manufacturing and light industry. The problem of surplus industrial products in China has been initially alleviated. ”
After Vice Minister of Commerce Zhang Qiushi finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.
He said that these are all facts, and the Belt and Road Initiative has alleviated the problem of surplus domestic industrial products.
Once there is a surplus of industrial products, if it is not addressed, serious problems will arise.
Like World War I and World War II, in essence, it is a surplus of industrial products in various countries after entering the industrial society.
It leads to the defense of their own interests, and finally the contradictions intensify and turn into war.
There is a surplus of industrial products, and this problem is not solved. It will only lead to two consequences, one is the outbreak of war and the other is the triggering of an economic crisis.
As a result, the impact on the country's economy as a whole is significant.
After Zhang Qiushi, vice minister of commerce, finished speaking, he stepped down.
This was followed by statements by the leaders of the various departments that co-organized the proposal forum.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs talks about the consular protection of foreign citizens in various countries.
The tax department has indicated that they want to improve the tax filing process. The products are taxed directly at the factory, and the products sold in the countries along the Belt and Road also enjoy the export tax rebate policy.
Leaders of the industrial and commercial departments came up to explain that they had to cooperate with the customs departments and the transportation departments. The customs clearance and inspection process of goods is shortened as much as possible to improve the efficiency of railway transportation.
Ensure that the goods of each enterprise can quickly arrive at the designated place. At the same time, we will cooperate with countries along the way. The sharing of inspection results ensures the rapid customs clearance of goods.
There are also many departments on the stage to introduce, mainly to ensure the normal business and trade exchanges of various enterprises in the countries along the Belt and Road.
Vice Minister of Commerce Zhang Qiushi once again stood on the stage. He smiled and said, "Now that technology is constantly evolving, we should also keep up with the times.
I have a set of data in my hand, and in the past two months, the number of small and micro enterprises and individual commercial households that have gone to the Belt and Road has increased fivefold compared with usual.
In the past, the major enterprises of the Belt and Road Initiative have seen their exports grow by 25% more than expected.
This is a very unusual statistic, and it quickly caught our attention. After a thorough investigation, we found out the cause of this problem.
There is a technology company in China that has developed a smartphone software called intelligent translation software.
This intelligent translation software has a very high accuracy rate and also supports translation in small languages. All the official languages of the world and the minor languages spoken by more than 1 million people, this software can translate smoothly.
Due to the convenience of exchanges, it is more convenient for China to have business and trade with other countries.
This kind of scientific and technological development has also given us great inspiration. Now artificial intelligence and big data are booming. Our government departments should also adapt to the development of the times and improve their work methods. ”
After Zhang Qiushi finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.
Especially for some enterprises, they only know that their exports to countries along the Belt and Road have increased. But I don't know why it's increasing?
After listening to Zhang Qiushi's explanation, they had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and applauded even more enthusiastically.
After Zhang Qiushi, Vice Minister of Commerce, saw that the applause from the audience gradually dissipated, he continued: "Our Ministry of Commerce will take the lead in developing a service platform for the development of the Belt and Road Initiative with relevant ministries and commissions.
Its main role is to collect the products that are needed by each country and push them to various companies.
You can think of it as a large online shopping platform, except that ordinary online shopping platforms are hosted by enterprises.
Our online commodity platform is mainly hosted by relevant state departments and has convenient online office functions.
Our main purpose is to use artificial intelligence technology to complement the resources of the countries in which we operate.
This platform not only helps us sell our products, but also helps us source raw materials. ”
When Zhang Qiushi spoke, the big screen on the stage showed the main functions of the online commodity platform.
Li Hao took a closer look, and he understood the main functions of this platform.
It can be seen as a large online shopping platform. It's just about bringing all the businesses together.
It not only has the function of shopping, but also has practical functions such as customs declaration, automatic tax declaration, logistics inquiry, bank settlement and settlement.
After Minister Zhang Qiushi finished speaking, he stepped back and the leaders of other ministries and commissions began to interact with the enterprise.
When Li Hao was listening, suddenly a service staff of the enterprise forum was calling.
Li Hao and Zhou Yunsheng followed the service staff to a room next to them.
He saw Vice Minister of Commerce Zhang Qiushi here.
Li Hao was very surprised, after Minister Zhang just finished speaking, what happened to ask them to come over?
He walked over and asked politely, "Minister Zhang, you came to us here, do you have something to order?" ”
Zhang Qiushi said directly: "All the functions of our online commodity platform have been developed, only artificial intelligence is missing. This time I came to you to ask if you could add an AI program to this platform. ”
Li Hao frowned and said, "Minister Zhang, don't add artificial intelligence to the software development process, your platform has been developed, and then add artificial intelligence." Some of the functions of AI programs are limited. ”
Zhang Qiushi said happily: "It's good to be able to add artificial intelligence programs, our requirements are very low. It doesn't need to be efficient, as long as it can coordinate the work of the various systems accurately.
This system was developed three years ago, when there was no such brilliant artificial intelligence technology.
This software that cost development can't be abandoned, it can only make you all work harder. ”
Li Hao understood what had happened, and he immediately assured: "We will try our best to complete the development of the platform." Try to make the systems work in harmony. ”
After discussing with Minister Zhang Qiushi, he left here.
Finding that the corporate forum was coming to an end, he would have liked to interact with various business leaders. Now that he has a task, Li Hao left here and returned directly to the company.
