The Third Party's Foreign Trade Platform Is Beginning To Scale.

Qingyuan is 90 kilometers away from Guangzhou and 340 kilometers away from the nearest port of Shenzhen. Qingyuan Chengcheng refrigeration equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Chengcheng refrigeration"), located in Qingyuan, exports tens of millions of yuan of refrigeration equipment to Europe every year. For this reason, the company's foreign trade salesmen have to travel frequently between Qingyuan and Shenzhen port.

"Hard work is not only a process, but also a tedious process, such as commodity inspection, customs declaration, tax rebate and so on. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the business, we have looked for an agent company, but the other party is asking for 10000 yuan at a single price." Cheng Cheng, a manager of foreign trade manager, said.

Until 2009, Mr. Duan began outsourcing the subsequent import and export process to a foreign trade service platform named "one taton". He made his own hands and began to concentrate on external marketing of products.

Foreign trade outsourcing platform like this has sprung up in the first half of this year. Besides Shenzhen, it has also run Qingdao international trade service platform and Ningbo Kai Bang Foreign Trade Service Co., Ltd.

　　 Realizing scale benefit

The so-called "virtual foreign trade" is centralized and unified processing of foreign trade processes, such as customs clearance, logistics, finance and so on, which are handled by foreign trade enterprises or processed by traditional import and export agents. "On the surface, these third party service platforms do nothing different from the traditional import and export agent companies, but they are different from the one way, one to one services between the latter and the enterprises. These platforms will export the process services to become large and intensive. Relying on this scale effect, the enterprises' requirements for low cost and high efficiency are further satisfied." Gao Haiyan, director of urban operation center of Shenzhen Academy of Social Sciences, said.

Since 2004, the right of import and export of Chinese enterprises has been changed from the examination and approval system to the registration system. The threshold of foreign trade management right has been completely abolished, and more and more small and medium-sized enterprises have entered the industry. It is understood that for small businesses, the export qualification is concentrated in the C class or even the D class. The third party service platform with class a qualification can obviously improve the efficiency of the process through the "cluster effect". In this process, the third party service platform is equivalent to the "collection" of logistics and other services. According to the person in charge of a freight forwarding company in Luohu District, Shenzhen, small and medium-sized export enterprises can get up to 20 percent off unless they are large enterprises. But the agencies are ordering more than ten counters at a time, so their discount will be much lower than that of the enterprises themselves.

　　 Expedites foreign trade business

"Virtual foreign trade" has brought advantages not only to traditional export business but also to some new services through large-scale operation.

Guangzhou Wei Lin plastic and hardware products Co., Ltd. received a total export tax rebate in 2009, which was 160 thousand yuan. According to the conventional process, it often takes 3 months or even longer for enterprises to get the money. What is different from the past is that the company immediately received the tax refund after the goods had been cleared.

In fact, the way to reclaim the tax rebate is this way: when the enterprise provides relevant information to one Datong, it completes the whole export declaration process by one Datong. Once the goods are cleared, one of them will return the export tax rebate within the company's account within 3 working days. One source of repayment to the enterprise is the loan provided by the bank. "One Datong receives the interest on Financing less than 4% of the tax rebate." Xiao Feng, deputy general manager of one Da Tong. This process is indirect financing to the bank. Obviously, the role of Datong as an intermediary and executive of corporate financing loans began to play.

In the past two years, China has adjusted the export tax rebate rate for the seven time, and the tax rebate rate of most industries is as high as 13%. In the context of tax rebate becoming the main source of large number of corporate profits, this new financing mode can obviously accelerate the cash turnover speed of enterprises. If an enterprise applies for such a small loan to the Bank alone, besides the cumbersome procedure, it will not have the bargaining power in terms of loan.

It is understood that the current amount of each financing is limited to less than 1 million yuan. If a single enterprise chooses multiple financing products at the same time, the total loan amount will be limited to less than 3 million yuan. If there are bad debts, banks and Yida can bear 50% of the losses. For banks, the risk of loans is shared out through the third party service platform.

　　 Trade Virtualization: new orientation of urban functions

Shenzhen is a city with a 260% dependence on foreign trade, and SMEs account for more than 70% of the total number of enterprises. In the view of scholar Gao Haiyan, this fact constructs the living space of the third party service platform, and these service platforms also provide some new opportunities for the development of local economy.

Not only Shenzhen, Suzhou, Qingdao and other traditional export port cities are seeking to promote regional economic development from the service links through self building or introducing special service platforms. "The Zhangjiagang free trade zone is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, with a large number of products and high frequency of import and export. It also yearn for financing services." Peng Ye, director of the logistics and Trade Bureau of the Zhangjiagang bonded area management committee, refused to disclose more details on the grounds of not yet implementing the cooperation. According to the relevant sources, the introduction of the third party service platform in the bonded area not only provides export convenience for the enterprises in the service area, but also plans to make use of the financing function of the platform to involve in the bulk trade import business, thereby expanding the scale of attracting investment in the area. There are more than 3000 small and medium manufacturing enterprises in the Zhangjiagang bonded area, which are mainly concentrated in two major trading markets of chemical products and textile raw materials, and spot transactions in 2009 are about 30000000000 yuan.

Small and medium-sized enterprises attach importance to efficiency and cost, and financial institutions attach importance to the "superposition effect" of process control and data authenticity, and the impact of government agencies on other industries. Will these three periods of Wangdu focus on an outsourcing service platform? Is there any risk? A consulting industry analyst thinks that for the third party service platform, how to establish its brand credibility in a short time is the key. He said, "the core function of such platforms is still their service capabilities, and the rest of the added value comes from the credit generated by service capabilities. At present, a large number of third party service platforms are private enterprises, and the financial and logistics enterprises that they cooperate with maintain the same regulatory effectiveness, which is the key to maintain the balanced development of this service chain.
