Hundreds Of Thousands Of Overseas Wenzhou Businessmen Are Weaving "New" Networks To Become "One Belt And One Way" Navigator.

Two years ago, the relevant departments of Zhejiang province held a symposium on "Zhejiang Province" along the "one belt and one road" state in Zhejiang, Spain.

Chueng Kwok Kuen, President of Italy Rome overseas Chinese Federation, was invited to attend the forum as a representative of overseas Chinese in Italy.

Speaking at the meeting, Chueng Kwok Kuen, speaking on behalf of overseas Chinese in Italy, said that if the "one belt and one way" is a long vine, it will take a deep root in the road. We Chinese and overseas Chinese are confident in maintaining and enhancing their vitality, and at the same time we have the opportunity to enjoy its sweetness and gift.

He said that hundreds of thousands of overseas Wen merchants have woven a global network, sensing two cultures and spanning two markets. This is the biggest advantage of overseas temperature traders. The initiative of "one belt and one road" will surely bring them more room for development.

Historically, Wenzhou is an important station of the maritime Silk Road and one of the important cities in China's opening up to the outside world.

At present, Wen has 688 thousand and 400 overseas Chinese and is distributed in 131 countries and regions of the world.

In recent years, Wenzhou's foreign investment has increased rapidly. By the end of 2016, Wenzhou people had 2 overseas institutions along the "one belt and one road", which were distributed in Uzbekistan and Malaysia respectively. 46 overseas investment projects along the "one belt along the way" were distributed in 18 countries and regions, including Holland, Indonesia, Vietnam, Serbia, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Italy, Indonesia, France and the United Arab Emirates, with a total investment of 1 billion 724 million US dollars, of which the Chinese side invested 1 billion 567 million US dollars. The industry mainly involved manufacturing, real estate development, leasing and wholesale trade.

China has invested more than 10 million US dollars in 21 projects, which are distributed in more than 40 countries and regions, engaged in wholesale and retail trade, import and export trade, industrial park construction, overseas factory processing and production.

The overseas investment of Wenzhou enterprises has not only realized the origin production, but also effectively evade trade barriers and promote the pformation and upgrading of excess capacity.

According to the statistics of Wenzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce, in 2016, Wenzhou's total foreign trade and import volume totaled 122 billion 889 million yuan, an increase of 0.3% over the same period last year.

The amount of imports and exports along the "one belt and one road" amounted to 40 billion 702 million yuan, up 3.7% from the same period last year, including 37 billion 110 million yuan in exports, an increase of 1.1% over the same period last year, and imports of 3 billion 592 million yuan, an increase of 41.6% over the same period last year.

Wenzhou's main export countries are India, the United Arab Emirates, Poland, Turkey, Iran and so on. The main importing countries are Indonesia, Philippines, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Exports mainly involve products such as footwear, electrical, textile, clothing, automobile and motorcycle fittings, valves, steel, travel bags, glasses and so on. Imports mainly involve ferroalloy liquefied petroleum gas and other hydrocarbon gas, mineral products, synthetic rubber (including latex), primary plastic, cow leather and horse leather.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of overseas Chinese living in Wenzhou is distributed in 55 countries and regions along the "one belt and one road" area, up to 377 thousand and 500, accounting for more than half of the total number of overseas Chinese.

24 countries have set up 135 warm overseas Chinese groups, mainly in Italy, Germany, Holland, Russia, Greece, Kampuchea, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Turkey, Vietnam, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Czech, Poland, Ukraine, Ukraine and other countries.

Liao Zonglin, the honorary president and former president of the Federation of overseas Chinese in Rome, Italy, told reporters: "there are more overseas Chinese in Italy. According to our incomplete statistics, the total number of overseas Chinese is more than 300 thousand, of which there are about 200 thousand people from the Wenzhou area, and about 50 overseas Chinese groups are Wenzhou presidents.

After the reform and opening up, a large number of Wenzhou people went into Italy to engage in international trade activities. Nowadays, there are more than 60 large Chinese mall and supermarkets established by Wenzhou people in Italy, more than 3000 of which are international trade import and export wholesales companies, and ten are Chinese retail outlets. Only more than 600 Vitoria wholesales companies in Vitoria, Italy, Rome.

Chueng Kwok Kuen began to trade in cardigan business in Italy 20 years ago.

In 2002, he founded the brand "EXTRA ME", which was taken by his eldest daughter, who had just come out of the country and went to middle school in Rome.

Today, the brand has been used by Chueng Kwok Kuen for more than 10 years and enjoys a certain reputation in the woolen sweater industry of Italy.

Chueng Kwok Kuen said that many European businessmen are rushing to this brand.

The brand effect has brought huge rewards to Chueng Kwok Kuen. In the downturn of the European consumer market, his woolen sweater trade has been at a low impact.

It is believed that the smooth flow of "one belt and one road" will certainly bring unlimited business opportunities to overseas Chinese businessmen in foreign trade and will reduce unnecessary expenses and expenses for them.

Chueng Kwok Kuen said that Italy's Prato and Wenzhou two cities have a special relationship, the two cities in October 2002 became a friendly city.

There are about 5000 enterprises engaged in textiles in Prato, 80% of whom are founded by Wenzhou people.

In Prato, apart from the world's top brand products such as GUCCI and Prada, other brands are cheap and fashionable in fashion. They can produce the most fashionable styles in Europe and sell them to Italy and other European countries overnight.

Chueng Kwok Kuen, who has no idea, thinks that the industrial chain here is very similar to Wenzhou.

If Wenzhou draws lessons from its practice and experience, introduces relevant supporting and supporting policies, relies on Wenzhou's current shoes and clothing industrial foundation and network, and makes full use of the favorable resources of many overseas Chinese in Wenzhou, it is entirely possible to build Wenzhou into China's "fast fashion" center.

Once the center is formed, it can also achieve the interaction between domestic and foreign countries, resulting in an unlimited scale effect.

He said, "

The Italian language is "PRONTO MODA", which means no delay.

In terms of Wen Shang, the freshness of fashion is similar to that of Wenzhou seafood.

In the eyes of everyone, the European economy seems to be relatively weak, but Prato's "fast fashion" industry has been rushing ahead. At present, it is the fast fashion center in Europe. The rent of factory stores has risen sharply in recent years.

A few years ago, Liao Zonglin also joined the leaders of the major overseas Chinese groups in Italy, and actively promoted the "one belt and one way" economic and trade exchanges with Chinese culture.

He said: "if there is no smooth economic and trade exchanges, it is a stagnant water. If there is no cultural integration, it will be a dry well.

Therefore,

He initiated and led the Chinese overseas Chinese to set up the first Wenzhou Chinese dragon boat team, participated in the dragon boat contest in China, and won the special prize in the Dragon Boat Race in China. He himself also gained the reputation of "dragon boat team captain".

In January 2015, he held the same command as Chen Shaomin, President of the Federation of overseas Chinese of Rome, Italy. The joint Chinese Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and the United Front Work Department of Wenzhou organized a huge Spring Festival gala for the Chinese family in Rome Oriental theatre.

In June 2015, Liao Zonglin, the Chinese chairman of the Organizing Committee of the second International Cultural Expo in Italy, directed a cultural event involving one hundred thousand people.

Actors from China, Japan, Italy, India, Thailand, Philippines and other 10 Asian and European countries perform on the same stage.

The Ministry of culture of Italy, the State General Administration of sport and the government of Lazio also sent a dozen meters long scroll to the book: "wake up the cultural memory and write the new chapter of the times."

Because he has been engaged in Sino Italian cultural exchanges for many years, he has been awarded the meritorious figure of Wenzhou's public diplomacy.

Last year's national day, the overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council awarded him the honorary certificate of "serving the honorary members of the Chinese society".
