The First Show Of "One Belt And One Road" Entrepreneurs: Attracting Nearly 900 Business Representatives From 88 Countries And Regions

In April 25th, the second "one belt and one way" International Cooperation Summit Forum was unveiled. A new highlight of this forum is the first time to hold an entrepreneur meeting, which is sponsored by the China Council for the promotion of Commerce and the Federation of industry and commerce, and the SASAC.

In addition to the Chinese delegates, there were nearly 900 representatives from trade and investment promotion institutions, business associations and business circles from 88 countries and regions. At the meeting, a number of cooperative projects involving wide fields, wide coverage, extensive foundation, strong foundation effect, strong demonstration effect and many people's livelihood projects were signed at the scene. Participating enterprises involve not only traditional fields such as energy, chemical engineering, construction, agriculture, but also new industries such as cross-border e-commerce and green energy. There are a large number of Chinese and foreign industry leading enterprises and some representative small and medium-sized enterprises.

Huang Juhui, vice president of Greater China, Brazil food company, told reporters on twenty-first Century economic report in April 25th that the entrepreneur conference can help enterprises around the world understand the market opportunities brought by the "one belt and one way" initiative, attract enterprises from all over the world, and make the vision of "one belt and one road" become investment projects and trade opportunities that are truly beneficial to the people of all countries.

Explore new cooperation mode

Gao Yan, President of the China Council for promoting trade, said at the meeting that enterprises from all countries should be good at creating new opportunities for development in the integration of "one belt and one road", explore new modes of cooperation, fully release complementary advantages and synergies, and drive more enterprises to innovate, link up and tolerate development.

She stressed that it is necessary to strengthen traditional economic and trade cooperation and expand cooperation in digital economy and artificial intelligence; attach importance to linkage between trade and investment, pay attention to the combination of industry and finance; participate in international capacity and the third party market cooperation; also should be embedded in the global industrial chain, supply chain, service chain and value chain; we should not only consider our own interests and development prospects, but also help our host countries to develop economy, improve people's livelihood and enhance the well-being of all peoples.

Zhu Hailuan, vice president of PHILPS Greater China group affairs, is excited by such key words as "digital economy" and "innovation".

Most of the cooperation in the early stage related to the "one belt and one road" is in the field of infrastructure, but on many occasions, I see that health, medical and other fields have become an important part of the "one belt, one way" cooperation discussed by all sides. PHILPS is a health technology company. China is our second largest market besides the North American market. In April 25th, Zhu Hailuan told reporters in an interview with the twenty-first Century economic report on the scene that PHILPS's participation in the entrepreneur's conference did not stop the signing of the new project contract, but the cooperation with the Chinese side never ceased.

She said that PHILPS hopes to have more localization cooperation projects in China, including cooperation in the development of new technologies such as equipment and software technology, artificial intelligence, big data, Internet plus health, and new business models. "PHILPS has sold the product from the earliest to the present, and now provides the overall solution. The transformation is based on customer demand and local characteristics, so the local cooperative innovation ecosystem is very important." She said.

Qian Jing, vice president of Jingke energy, is very impressed by the combination of industry and finance.

In April 25th, she told reporters on twenty-first Century economic report that private enterprises should go out, financing and insurance should go out first. China's banks and financial institutions should be more open, more innovative and more visions, and provide more competitive financing services for enterprises to go out. "This entrepreneur conference is mainly aimed at establishing more links and docking with local banks and financial institutions."

China's central enterprises are an important force in the construction of "one belt and one road". Up to now, the central enterprises have undertaken 3120 projects of "one belt and one road". In the infrastructure projects that have been started and planned to start, the number of projects undertaken by the central enterprises is more than 60%, and the contract value accounts for nearly 80%.

With the development of the "one belt and one way" construction, the internationalization of the central enterprises has been accelerated, and the ability and level of international operation have been further improved. "Russia's Amazon liquefied natural gas project is jointly invested by China Petroleum, Russia Novak, France Total and Silk Road Fund. Experts from Russia, Japan, Ukraine and other countries collaborate in the project design, and the construction team is from Russia, Italy, Turkey and many other countries." Xiao Yaqing, director of the SASAC, said at the meeting.

Xiao Yaqing said that the future central enterprises will further expand cooperation space and strive for mutual benefit and common development. The central enterprises should be encouraged to learn from each other and complement each other, and adhere to the principles of marketization and rule by law. Through the establishment of joint ventures, joint ventures, industrial alliances and the implementation of total subcontracting, exchanges and cooperation in deeper and wider fields can be carried out in the bilateral market and in the third party market.

The "soft link" of "one belt and one road" has also become a frequently mentioned term.

Liu Qitao, chairman of China Communications Construction Group Limited, said that enterprises should not only build "hard Unicom", including infrastructure, but also pay attention to the "soft link" between Humanities and communication and people's hearts. It is not only a reliable partner in the host country, but also an excellent talent training base and excellent social volunteers.

Gonzales, director of the international trade center, believes that "soft Unicom" also includes the consideration of the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises along the "one belt and one road". "One belt and one road" is not only a large enterprise of 1%, but should let 99% of the economic entities, namely, small and medium-sized enterprises, take part in it, so that young entrepreneurs and female entrepreneurs will set up start-ups.

Opportunities for Chinese and foreign enterprises

In Zhu Hailuan's view, the construction of "one belt and one road" has significantly promoted the internationalization of China's business environment and is beneficial to the development of foreign enterprises in the Chinese market. In addition, the construction of "one belt and one road" has also promoted trade facilitation, and the growth of China and Europe has increased rapidly.

"Some of our equipment imports are coming from the eastern coastal ports. Now that the central and European trains are open, they can take the iron transportation. The time is almost the same as that of the air freight, but the cost can be greatly reduced. We are discussing with the relevant departments and the central and western regions how China and Europe can match the customs' hardware and software and related skills. Once these are in place, they will bring us direct benefits. She said.

The Brazil food company, headquartered in St Paul, Brazil, is the largest poultry producer in the world, accounting for 14% of the world's poultry supply. In Huang Juhui's view, China is a large country with nearly 1 billion 400 million people. Its annual meat consumption exceeds 90 million tons, and meat consumption will steadily increase.

"Brazil food company attaches great importance to cooperation with China and has established a good partnership with Chinese companies such as COFCO meat. We not only export agricultural products to China, but also buy casing, vitamins and packaging materials from China, and purchase more than US $30 million annually. We look forward to exploring wider cooperation with downstream customers and upstream suppliers through the "all around" entrepreneurs' conference. He said.

While foreign enterprises are looking forward to expanding the Chinese market with the help of "one belt and one road", the countries along the line also look forward to taking more investment in China. "I have invited a number of Chinese companies in the" one to one "negotiations of the entrepreneurs' conference, hoping to promote the advantages of establishing regional headquarters in Dubai and the opportunity to jointly carry out the" one belt and one road "project. In April 25th, Lv Danjie, director of the China Office of Dubai chamber of Commerce and industry, told reporters on twenty-first Century economic report.

"One belt and one road" also provides opportunities for Chinese enterprises to speed up "going global". On the "digital silk road" sub forum, the wave group signed an agreement with the Kazakhstan national railway telecommunication company. The two sides will jointly promote the construction of Kazakhstan data center and boost the landing of the "digital Kazakhstan" plan.

"In China, through the development of cloud computing and big data, the new generation of IT industry has promoted the development of digital economy. It has become an important starting point for the transformation of new and old energy sources and the creation of new engines of economic development. Sharing the successful experience of China's information construction, the countries along the belt can avoid the "crooked road" of traditional information construction, adopt the most advanced digital economic development mode, and promote the process of industrialization and modernization of the country. Sun Pishu, chairman and CEO of the wave group, told the twenty-first Century economic report.
