“China-Europe Express transportation time is fast and the cycle is stable. The railway department has proposed the href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Babaylan provides safe and affordable transportation solutions, saving transportation costs for our enterprises.” Ma Fuming, president of the Horgos International Trade Chamber of Commerce, told reporters that at present, the daily traffic passing through the Horgos Port has maintained a normal operation of more than 20 trains, and the monthly traffic volume exceeds 600 trains for four consecutive months.
“In the past ten years, the Horgos Port has changed a lot from quantity to type of imports and exports. Since the beginning of this year, the main imported commodities of the Horgos Port are mechanical and electrical products, high-tech products, agricultural products, textile yarns, fertilizers, etc. The trade volume of imported fertilizers has increased exponentially, and the import volume has increased by 18.4 times year-on-year; the export products are mainly mechanical and electrical products, high-tech products, etc., and the export trade volume of these two commodities has increased by 52.8% and 8.2% year-on-year respectively.” Ma Fuming said. “The current international supply and demand matching relationship needs to be connected. Many local processing companies have a single source of raw materials, and many export-oriented companies can produce high-quality products that are urgently needed abroad, but because they are not familiar with foreign buyers and products, they have an embarrassing situation of “raising them in the deep boudoir and no one knows them.” Ma Fu clearly stated that the continuous growth of China-Europe freight train operation data is not only a stabilizing and rebounding of the international transportation trend, but also an economic benefit of countries along the route. According to reports, the Chamber of Commerce held the “China Xinjiang Horgos-Kazakhstan Economic and Trade Investment Cooperation Promotion Conference” in Kazakhstan last year, promoting the investment environment of both parties, investment project planning and preferential policies, building a platform for cooperation and exchanges between the two parties, and promoting 12 companies to sign 14 contracts including production and processing, cultural tourism, logistics and transportation.
Ma FuMing said that China’s eastern coastal areas are at the forefront of opening up to the outside world relying on its port advantages, and Horgos, the city farthest from the ocean, is seizing the location advantages of the “Belt and Road” and “China-Europe Express”, and strives to promote the high-quality development of the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt. “With the ‘Western Europe-Western China’ highway, the China-Ji-Ukraine Komiks International Highway, the Tajikistan Waya Railway and other demonstration projects are implemented, the ancient Silk Road will shine with new vitality.”
Li Tiantao, Chairman of Zhongyuguan Central Asia Resources Group: Guangdong businessmen are at a good time to enter Central Asia
“We have been doing business in Xinjiang for 20 or 30 years. We have had business dealings with enterprises in Central Asia before. Komiks will naturally enter href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Komiks enters the local market.” Li Tiantao, chairman of Zhongyuguan Central Asia Resources Group, said, “Although Guangdong’s products are very popular here, there are many products from Guangdong in Central Asia, but the number of Guangdong people doing business here is still relatively small.”
“If you look at Europe and the United States in the early stage of reform and opening up and ASEAN in the later stages, I think now is the time to look at Central Asia.” Li Tiantao told reporters that Guangdong companies used to have many layouts in Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, or Southeast Asia, “China<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a<a, Guangdong enterprises have been in Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, or Southeast Asia. After the launch of the European train, stations in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Jiangmen and other places have been opened one after another. The cost of Guangdong products sold to Central Asia has been reduced, logistics and transportation time has been greatly shortened, and the benefits of enterprises have become very obvious. “
Li Tiantao emphasized that countries in Central Asia are also following China’s experience of reform and opening up, accelerating economic and social development such as municipal engineering construction, urbanization, etc., coupled with the growth of the number of consumer groups and the increase in market demand space has become larger.There is a demand for many products in Guangdong, such as new energy vehicles, household appliances, etc. “I think there will be a relatively large window period in three years.”
How can Guangdong enterprises take the opportunity to go overseas? “If the company fights alone and does its own things, the overall influence may not be that great and the cost will be higher.” Li Tiantao said that “going together to go overseas” is relatively influential. For example, the development of some industrial parks can provide some upstream and downstream supporting facilities, and the different functions of each company can be fully utilized.
“In the future, we plan to connect with functional departments of some countries in Central Asia, such as the Investment Agency, the Ministry of Commerce or Industry Association, to organize them to participate in the Canton Fair or some other domestic industry exhibitions, and to organize some Guangdong enterprises to conduct field visits in Central Asia and plan to build a platform for exchanges with Central Asia for enterprises in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Local relevant departments in Dongguan are also interested in connecting and building this platform.” Li Tiantao said.
Zhao Yihua, Chairman of the Polish Silk Road Foundation and Executive Director of Guangdong Taisheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.: Polish Apple knocked on the door of China through the China-Europe Express
In 2013, the first Chengdu-Europe Express (later named China-Europe Express) drove from Chengdu International Railway Port to Rhodes, Poland. In 2016, with the launch of a unified brand of China-Europe freight train, Poland became the terminal or necessary hub for multiple China-Europe freight trains, and is the gateway for China-Europe freight trains to enter the European market.
In the view of Zhao Yihua, chairman of the Polish Silk Road Foundation and executive director of Guangdong Taisheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., the proposal of the “Belt and Road” initiative and the opening of the China-Europe Express have opened up a fast international logistics channel for Poland’s high-quality agricultural products to enter the Chinese market, and also gave Chinese companies and domestic investors more opportunities to open up a broad new market in Europe.
Zhaoyihua has operated a business in Poland for more than 30 years and is a direct beneficiary of the “Belt and Road” initiative. The opening of the China-Europe Express has given Zhaoyihua a business opportunity. He is one of the first batch of China-Europe Express to pass the China-Europe Express to Poland.Apples delivered to Chinese merchants. “Poland’s ‘wild’ apples are world-renowned. If transported by sea, it will take 45 days from Poland to Nansha Port, but it only takes 15 days to pass through the China-Europe freight train. The shelf life of agricultural products is relatively short, and the shortened transportation time has a great impact on the cross-border trade of agricultural products.”
With the deepening of the “Belt and Road” initiative, the development of enterprises has ushered in more market opportunities, investment opportunities and growth space.
In 2016, Zhaoyihua returned to China to establish Taisheng Pharmaceutical. Now, Taisheng has introduced Polish organic products certified by the EU, such as milk, juice, etc. to the country, conducts tonic research and development, and produces green and healthy tonic products to supply the domestic market; at the same time, it uses its overseas trade channels operated by Komiks for many years to export Taisheng’s brand tonic products to foreign countries, truly forming a domestic and international dual-enterprise “introduce Cinema” and “going out”.
