Discussion at the "Chinese Business Concept and Management Sharing" at the World Chinese Business Conference on the Society of Chinese Business Conference, sitting next to a British.I asked the "foreigner" how to choose to listen to this forum. He said that he invested in real estate and fintech in the UK. He has a Chinese business partner and wants to know more about them.When listening to the forum, I saw that he didn't wear headphones to listen to sympathetic interpretation, and then remembered that he said that he had learned Chinese in Taiwan before the opening.
In the past two days, there are few white people in the British businessmen in the bustling Queen of Poji, Bangkok.Except for the friendly and enthusiastic staff of Thailand, more than 4,500 people in the venue, most of them are Chinese, of which there are 1,800 Thai businessmen, about 1,500 people from China.I talked with private entrepreneurs from the five -tier cities in China. He was very interested in the specific situation of foreign countries. He asked very carefully. He also asked the outside world's view of China's domestic economic situation.In addition to the representatives of the Federation of Industry and Commerce from all over China, there are also about 1,200 "overseas merchants" participating in the conference, including new immigrants from China to North America, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Australia and other places, as well as generations of generations of generations.Chinese who settled in Southeast Asia and so on.
The original intention was to build a non -political platform
Welcome dinner and the opening ceremony are based on the sponsor of the host country and the Chinese officials. In addition, the national anthem of the two national anthems made me think that I participated in Thailand and China and bilateral activities.In the opening venue, the front sofas and the tables and seats arranged in the back were the illusion of participating in the meeting in Chinese cities.
The World Chinese Merchants Conference is similar to some Chinese organizations (such as the World Chinese News Association).Keep a proper distance, the form of the meeting and the content of the agenda are not "guided" in China.
Gao Quanqing, president of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce Gao Quanqing at the opening ceremony of the conference, talked about the reason why the conference was successful in these years, and traced back to the original intention of the conference.The purpose of the World Chinese Merchants Conference is to build a non -political platform, bringing together world businessmen scattered in various places, strengthen economic cooperation, and promote mutual understanding.It was hosted by the Singapore Chinese General Chamber of Commerce in August 1991. The conference established the convener organization in 1993. Members include the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore.The continuity of the coordination and planning of the Chinese Business Conference ".
From the perspective of the show sheet over the years, in addition to inviting leaders of the host country and entrepreneurs who lead the trend, the conference also invites outstanding Chinese scholars to speak from the level of science and technology, society, culture, and history.Dumerical.Professor Tian Changlin, the president of California Berkeley University, Professor Du Weiming of Harvard University, and Rong Yiren, chairman of the China International Trust and Investment Corporation, which is also the vice chairman of the National People's Congress, is the "big coffee" of the first conference.Li Guangyao, the founding of Singapore, was supported by Li Guangyao. In addition to delivered a speech at the first conference, he later went to the conference when he was held in Hong Kong, Canada, and Australia.There are also wisdom in the conference that are the historian Professor Wang Yanwu, the economist Wu Jingzheng, and one of the founders of Lenovo Group, Liu Chuanzhi, and Shi Zhenrong, the founder of Taiwan Acer Group.When it was held in Nanjing in 2001, the biggest charm of China, as the host country, was both supporting support and expressed full respect for the conference.Chinese Prime Minister Zhu Rongji, Chairman of the CPPCC Li Ruihuan, Vice Premier Qian Qichen, Minister of Foreign Trade Shi Guangsheng, and Dai Xianglong, president of the People's Bank of China, all participated in their prosperity.Chinese businessmen in the region published insights together.Liu He, who had just retired from China, spoke as the executive deputy director of the National Information Center at that time, and spoke on the title of "the path dependency and real challenge of China's development of a new economy".
After 32 years of changing stars, the world pattern is very different from the beginning of the host.In the opening ceremony of this conference, Xie Guo, a senior chairman of Thailand's Zhengda Group, talked about the past Japan's investment and technical assistance to Southeast Asia, especially Thailand, to make Thailand's economic achievements today.However, he pointed out that China is now the second largest economy in the world, 1.4 billion people in China, coupled with the total population of Japan, South Korea and Asia, and the regional market is huge.
Xie Guomin, the president of the Chinese Overseas Chinese Federation Federation, pointed out that China ’s science and technology are developed today, and the initiative of Chinese President Xi Jinping’ s “Belt and Road” initiative advocates the practice of the global governance concept of “discussion, co -construction, and sharing”.It is proposed that the "community of human destiny of the world" is a chance to grasp the Chinese businessmen.
This "reality" that Xie Guomin ordered was very interesting to look at the "original intention" reminded by Gao Quanqing.In 1991, the world had doubts about whether China firmly followed the road of reform and opening up.When Li Guangyao gave a speech at the conference, he said to about 800 Chinese businessmen from more than 30 countries and 72 cities: "As long as we keep ourselves and make progress in our lives, overseas Chinese will become a powerful degeneration for China's forward development."At that time, overseas Chinese had a demonstration role in China. These Chinese businessmen who adhered to the concept of Chinese cultural values were integrated into different countries to become their parts. They worked hard in different business environments, experience and contact networks.Precious resources.
Today, China's national strength has been greatly enhanced, and the huge market has become a strong traction.The World Chinese Merchants Conference originally left China at the end of the 19th century, mainly overseas Chinese who have taken root in all parts of the world.They participated in economic construction at the beginning of China's reform and opening up, and now China may have become an important market in their business, or even a dependent market.The businessman is pragmatic, so the relationship between Chinese businessmen and China will be adjusted; while Chinese entrepreneurs have emerged, businessmen from all over China have increased year by year, and it should be the time to become the main body of the Chinese Chinese Merchants Conference.What changes will these elements make the world Chinese business conference?
Overseas Chinese is not easy to understand
Gao Quanqing put forward the spirit of "harmony and difference" at the opening ceremony, because in addition to respecting and tolerant each other between Chinese businessmen, we must also take into account the feelings of different ethnic groups in the country and society where Chinese businessmen.This aspect is the deepest of overseas Chinese, but it is most difficult to understand.Wang Huning, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, mentioned the congratulatory letter issued by the conference, mentioned that "the evolution of the great change in a hundred years" was mentioned.The stress caused by geopolitics to the commercial economy has increased, which is also the most directly felt by Chinese businessmen.In the new era and new situation, if the World Chinese Merchants Conference can continue to advocate mutual learning between Chinese businessmen, respect each other, and at the same time play "the unique advantage of integrating Chinese and foreign and foreign", making good use of the business network and close relationship with non -Chinese people will also be helpful for China to help China.beneficial.
With China's economic strength today, it is not difficult to dominate the World Chinese Merchants Conference, because some Chinese businessmen may also actively invite Chinese officials to intervene, making the World Chinese Merchants Conference even more "Chinese".All parties must weigh the value and significance of the World Chinese Business Conference, whether to maintain the veritable "world" connotation of the world's Chinese business conference, maintain the neutrality of form and agenda, make the entire meeting open and diverse, and make the world Chinese business conference add to China at the same time.point.This may require the superb wisdom of all parties in order to achieve it.
