French Chinese Business Office Economic Forum Reform

Wu Jianmin, the former ambassador to France, appealed to Chinese businessmen on the thirty-one day at the "Sino French economic forum" sponsored by the French traditional Chinese associations. They should emancipate their minds and change their concepts so as to gain new opportunities for development.

He believes that under the current global economic background, the biggest challenge for the sustainable development of Chinese businessmen in France is outmoded ideas.

According to France's "European Times", the subprime crisis shattered the famous motto of Wall Street's financial supremacy. The fragile debt chain has expanded the crisis level by layer, and different countries, industries and groups have felt the impact and impact of the financial crisis at different levels.

The tide of crisis is sweeping away the original mechanism, thinking and economic entity, and it also spawned new systems, thinking and enterprises.

Along with the crisis, a new idea has also emerged among French businessmen. This time, they are no longer willing to be passive adapters, but actively seek breakthroughs.

In October 31st, the successful convening of the "2008 Paris China France Economic Forum" organized by the Wenzhou chamber of Commerce in France brought us a New Harbinger of reform in France and China.

The forum is a new form. The Wenzhou chamber of Commerce in France was developed from the original young entrepreneur association. Since its renaming to the Wenzhou chamber of commerce at the end of last year, it has been very low-key in the overseas Chinese community.

As an ordinary member of the overseas Chinese community, it is difficult for them to imagine that they will undertake an economic forum that will bring together the first class experts and scholars of China and France.

Because it is more qualified, powerful and justified by the government or academic institutions.

But this time, the French Chamber of Commerce in Wenzhou was quite unexpected. A business overseas group was really determined to hold an economic forum in the history of overseas Chinese law.

"The original idea of the forum is to make the activities of overseas Chinese groups more innovative and more pragmatic."

Liu Ruojin, President of the Wenzhou chamber of Commerce in France, said that their intentions were very simple and did not have much hope and expectation.

He himself is frankly speaking, because he has never participated in the forum, his understanding of the forum is also very narrow.

But with the deepening of the preparatory process, his understanding of the nature of the forum began to change slowly. He began to hope that the forum could become a flame to ignite the vitality of the overseas Chinese community. Through the experts and scholars invited by the forum, we could make suggestions for the future development of the French Chinese businessmen, so that all the participants in the forum could return to their full load. "Do not let so many people waste hours sitting there."

As a matter of fact, as one said before, a chamber of Commerce hosted a Sino French economic forum. Not only many foreigners but also some members of the Wenzhou chamber of commerce did not understand it.

"We think the forum is too far away from us, which is of no practical significance to French traders."

This pressure on public opinion is the first hurdle for us to hold the forum.

7 at the end of the month, Liu Ruojin and members of the chamber of Commerce, who had the idea of holding the forum, did not give up the idea at that time.

During this period, he returned to China because of his business affairs.

Affected by this, the Secretary of the Wenzhou chamber of Commerce stopped the preparatory work at hand, waiting for further and clearer instructions from the president.

This stop came to September.

On the specific day, everyone can not remember clearly. The staff members of the chamber of commerce only remember President Liu Ruojin calling from home suddenly, saying that the date of the forum was scheduled for October 31st. All the staff immediately started work, contacted guests, booked the venue and so on.

Originally, during the period of returning to China in August, Liu Ruojin heard that Wu Jianmin, the former ambassador of China to France, had held a meeting in Shanghai. After hearing the news, Liu Ruojin immediately booked the air ticket from Guangzhou to Shanghai.

Because Wu Jianmin had been in contact with Mr. Wu during his appointment as ambassador to France in the past, Liu Ruojin hoped to hear Mr. Wu Jianmin's opinions on the forum held in.

The meeting in Shanghai has become a turning point in deciding the fate of this forum. Mr. Wu Jianmin is very supportive of the forum held by the chamber of Commerce of the French Chamber of Commerce in Wenzhou. Apart from expressing his presence in the forum, he also recommended a guest speaker: Dean of the Changjiang business school, a professor who has made great achievements in learning.

Mr. Wu Jianmin's attitude strengthened Liu Ruojin's determination at once, so a forum that had been pushed forward by the date of the launch suddenly mentioned that in October 31st, all the work began to accelerate.

The most difficult part is to invite speakers, the Organizing Committee of the forum, to target the best experts and scholars.

"It is important not only to be famous, but also to meet the needs of French listeners, especially those of French businessmen," Liu Ruojin stressed.

Shi Jinchuan, vice president of economics at Zhejiang University, has entered the field of vision. As the president of Zhejiang Economic Association, Professor Shi has paid close attention to the development of Zhejiang merchants for a long time, not only in theory, but also in Zhejiang businessmen.

So, through various channels, Professor Shi Jinchuan agreed to join this forum.

With two experts and scholars, the forum has theoretical thickness, but there is still a shortage of industrialists.

The entrepreneur has to have strength, fame and theoretical level, so he can best join hands with Zhejiang businessmen.

Speaking simply, it is not easy to find it.

The speaker finally finalized a few days before the forthcoming forum.

The first candidate was Wang Zhentao, chairman of AOKANG group, who is also known as "China shoe king". He was very interested in this forum and was scheduled to come, but later he had to give up his trip to France because of time.

Subsequently, the Wenzhou chamber of Commerce in France continued to connect with four other well-known entrepreneurs, but they were unable to make a difference for different reasons.

When people were at a loss, they came to a good news. Zhu Min, chairman of the venture capital expert, Sai Bo Le, held the forum at the forum just in Europe. With the attitude of trial, the staff of the Organizing Committee immediately got in touch with Zhu Min's assistant. After several repetitions and communication, he finally got a definite answer four days before the opening of the forum.

Later, facts have proved that Zhu Min's accession to the forum has become a heavy color. His personality charm even set off a Zhu Min fever among Chinese businessmen.

The most feared was the disappointment of the guest. The actor set it, the audience came, and the play was about to begin.

Everyone is still worried.

If he was worried about whether the performance could be carried out smoothly, he began to worry about the effect after the performance.

Will the actors be disappointed and whether the audience will refund the tickets? "I am afraid that the guests will be disappointed to go back". President Liu Ruojin said that these well-known experts and scholars flew to Paris from all directions with enthusiasm. He would feel guilty if the trip to Paris did not bring any gains to them.

However, the guests finally gave President Liu an unexpected surprise, which left the worry of President Liu Ruojin before him.

Harvest and cost. When we talk about the harvest of this forum, there are many entities in it.

There are both guests and listeners, including the Wenzhou chamber of Commerce, and other co organizers and overseas Chinese groups.

Wu Jianmin, the former ambassador, revisited the old and old friends, and still played a role in the exchanges between China and France. Takaya Ken, the director of the Paris military academy, was instilling the global thinking of the world, and was also advocating the idea of "taking advantage of the world" and "good practice" in the Yangtze River Business School. He heard that he had the idea of establishing the Yangtze River branch in Paris. Professor Shi Jinchuan visited the wholesale city of Beijiao in Paris, heard the development concept of the new generation of Chinese businessmen, and accumulated first-hand information for his research on overseas Zhejiang businessmen. Zhu Min even visited many projects in Paris, and he knew a lot of friends who would like to invest and cooperate, and France would become the third station for his investment and development in Europe. Let's talk about guests first.

Speaking of audience, Feng Wei, who attended the meeting, once said such a thing: "in the forums, there are seventy percent spectators in the first half and thirty or forty in the second half."

But on the same day, we saw that the audience at the forum was full from beginning to end, and even many people listened to it.

Because the forum originally only arranged 250 seats, and then increased dozens of times. At last, about more than 300 people participated in the forum.

Zhu merchants, who are engaged in the cultural industry, seldom participate in the overseas Chinese group activities. This time he signed up for the forum in his own name. He said: "this activity is very practical, innovative, open and self fruitful."

Chen Yong, a science and Technology Association of the forum, failed to attend the Forum on business trip. He said that 9 members of the science and Technology Association attended the forum that day.

"The opening of this forum marks the rise of Chinese entrepreneurs in France," said Ma Shen public Secretary of the Ministry of commerce at the opening speech of the forum.

Xu Jiangong, Consul General of the Consular Department, said at the end of the forum that the forum was very successful and even "beyond the imagination".

"This forum is a symbol, indicating that the development of the French Chinese has gone out of the stage of entrepreneurship and is moving towards maturity."

It takes a lot of manpower, money and material resources to hold such a big economic forum. But when asked how much the cost of holding the forum is, Liu Ruojin laughs and says that compared with the harvest of this forum, the cost is negligible.

The most important thing for the forum to bring members together is Wenzhou chamber of Commerce and President Liu Ruojin.

The introduction of the forum has broken the traditional pattern of overseas Chinese activities and opened up a new direction for overseas Chinese missions in the future.

This is one of them.

Second, for the successful holding of the forum, all the chamber of Commerce in Wenzhou moved forward and kept meeting and arranging tasks. Then, a week before the forum, many vice presidents stayed up until midnight, and the second day came early.

The forum closely linked the members of the association, and we realized the value of working together for an ideal.

Third, through this forum, Wenzhou chamber of Commerce and these well-known experts and scholars to establish contacts, Zhu Min even become a senior consultant of the French Chamber of Commerce in Wenzhou.

President Liu Ruojin said the next step after the forum is to continue the effect of the forum and excavate business opportunities.

He himself has made an appointment with Zhu Min. At the end of this month, he went to Zhu Min's home camp in Hangzhou to investigate his 3D center and technical team.

No need to enumerate it again, because the forum is actually a dialogue of thinking, a collision of wisdom, a renewal of ideas, and the impact of thought is immeasurable. As long as we look at the audience in front of the forum and gaze at the front and listen carefully, you will feel the new changes brought about by this forum.

We always ignore the change of ourselves, but it always comes inadvertently.

The subprime mortgage crisis has triggered the global financial crisis, but the crisis has activated the thinking of Chinese businessmen. Therefore, the forums that have never been held in overseas Chinese circles have occurred here.

With such impressive changes, how can we not expect all of these to be pregnant with a change in the way of Chinese business development?
