Entrepreneurs for the first time opened APEC "gates"

2018/4/21

Anhui Entrepreneurs for the first time opened the door to APEC. The first time a company was written on its visit list was in October. On an unusual day, Anhui Yonghe Gang, chairman of Anhui Guohe Investment Co., Ltd., received a notice from the Ministry of Commerce requesting him to act as a representative of private entrepreneurs. , I arrived in Singapore with the Chinese delegation around November 11 to attend the 2009 APEC meeting and attend the APEC-CEO Summit held earlier. Participating in the APEC meeting is what many entrepreneurs dream about. This also means that He Yonggang will join leaders, ministers, business leaders, media, and related people from 21 APEC member economies, and listen to the speeches of Presidents Hu Jintao, President Obama and other countries and participate in the “participation”. To promote continuous growth and close regional links." Provincial officials from the Department of Commerce pointed out that as the first private entrepreneur in Anhui to participate in this grand event, Yan Yonggang has rewritten the history of the APEC meeting that has not had Anhui entrepreneurs. Leaders of the New Huizhou Westernization School Speaking of Yan Yonggang, there are few people who may be familiar with this name. This is not a common name in newspapers. But if you talk about McDonald's and Carrefour, I believe no one will know. Zhai Yonggang is the first person to bring these unfamiliar Fortune 500 companies to Anhui. According to a reporter’s information, Zhai Yonggang, born in 1959, had been released, had been a soldier, had been beaten, worked as an official, and passed the sea. He served as the general manager of Hefei Civil Industry General Corporation in 1991 and the general manager of Hefei Foreign Trade Development Corporation in 1992. He was transferred to the Provincial International Economic and Technical Cooperation Company in 1996. He joined hands with McDonald's in 1999 to form a joint venture company in charge of the business development of McDonald's in Anhui and Jiangxi, 2002. The company obtained a letter of authorization for the strategic cooperation of the National Carrefour of France and subsequently signed a cooperation agreement with RT-Mart. In 2003, it signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Pulsmatt of the United States. All the information shows that this is an entrepreneur with rich experience in international economic cooperation. The media once called it "the leader of the New Huizhou Westernization Movement." An employee of Anhui Guohe Investment Co., Ltd. told the reporter that unlike many private entrepreneurs in Anhui Province who are mostly looking at domestic provinces, the perspective of Yan Yonggang has always been oriented toward the international market. In recent years, the company took the international financial crisis as an opportunity to take the economic downturn as the adjustment period, transform its business ideas, and increase overseas investment. "From 2005 onwards, he also went to Singapore Nanyang Technological University to study EMBA at his own expense and listened to the modern economics philosophy taught by Western masters." How did the APEC door open up? Although there is sufficient strength in foreign cooperation, the olive branch that follows the leaders of the country is not accessible to everyone. So, how was Yong Yonggang selected for the visiting list? The relevant person from the Provincial Department of Commerce disclosed to reporters that for companies accompanying state leaders to visit, they should have "economic relations with the countries visited", "more scale enterprises and better development prospects," and "visitors should be able to The language of speaking English or visiting the country, and the petitioner's compliance with foreign affairs disciplines and other conditions. For Yong Yonggang’s current selection, the person analyzed that Anhui Guohe Investment has good trade cooperation in Singapore. The company’s AICIC (Singapore) International PTE.LTD. has been rigorously reviewed by the Singapore government and has not received the manpower from the Ministry of Manpower in Singapore. The resource license also received the food import license issued by the Ministry of Health of Singapore. In Singapore, where the management review is extremely strict, there are very few foreign companies whose colleagues have obtained two business licenses. He Yonggang himself has a good educational background and foreign language level. Being familiar with Singapore’s economic and trade knowledge is very suitable for this visit. Anhui entrepreneurs must dare to “go out” “Individual enterprises in Anhui have been able to obtain the country’s favor and have taken the lead in going abroad. This has given Anhui entrepreneurs a good role model.” The person in charge of the SME Bureau of the Provincial Economic and Credit Commission stated. The person in charge said that the private economy has occupied half of the province’s economic development, but Anhui's private economy is a weak foundation and weak foundation is an indisputable fact. “Many entrepreneurs have limited vision, some are self-styled, and lack the ability to learn. From this perspective, the development of China’s co-operative group has given Anhui private enterprises a good lesson.” “Anhui entrepreneurs must go out and they must There must be a vision for overseas development, and following a national leader’s visit, one can directly enhance the status of the enterprise, on the other hand, it can be exposed to more direct and more real information, and it can find business partners that can immediately cooperate to make it become international and improve. The competitiveness of enterprises has become easier," said Professor Liu Zhiying, from the School of Humanities and Economics at Hefei University of Technology.
