The economic strength of China people has attracted more and more attention from the world. Hiring shop assistants in China and swiping UnionPay cards in China have become a magic weapon to compete for customers in China. At the same time, overseas Chinese operators are diligent in starting businesses, but in the context of worrying global economic conditions, life is very difficult, and some even plan to return to China. Regardless of the future, China's economy is increasingly valued by the world.
Busy "sweeping goods"
According to the overseas edition of People's Daily, Christmas is the annual shopping season, and Chinese living abroad are getting busy.
The American Chinese media "Qiao Bao" reported that Christmas is just around the corner, and the Chinese community in Los Angeles has set off a wave of buying Christmas trees. Not only are there long queues in shopping malls selling trees, but vehicles loaded with Christmas trees are often seen on the road. All major shopping malls and restaurants are decorated with Christmas trees, and there is a strong festive atmosphere everywhere. Some China residents say that they have bought Christmas trees every year for more than ten years.
Among many shopping consumers in the world, Chinese are a powerful purchasing power group that cannot be ignored. 20 1 1 As Christmas approaches, British businessmen who are keen on business opportunities try their best to attract more China consumers to buy goods. The counters of luxury brands in several famous British department stores have begun to employ more Chinese-speaking employees to ensure smoother communication with consumers in China. A sales employee of Omega Watch Store in Bond Street, London, said that in order to communicate with China tourists who come to buy watches more smoothly,13 of the employees in the store can speak Chinese. Harold 20 1 1, a famous department store in London, installed 75 UnionPay consumer terminals in the first quarter, which improved the efficiency of China tourists' credit card spending.
Prepare a "big meal"
Unlike China people who are crazy about "sweeping goods", some overseas Chinese operators seize business opportunities and earn money from foreigners. Overseas Christmas dinner is extremely rich, including roast pig, steak, pudding and pie. These traditional "Christmas dinners" are facing the challenge of Chinese food. The new Christmas fashion recommended by American media is "Eating at China Restaurant".
Overseas Chinese restaurants are more and more dominant in the "Christmas dinner" market. During Christmas, there are few guests in the catering industry in the United States, which gives Chinese who don't care much about Christmas a chance to make money. Last Christmas, Chinese restaurants in Los Angeles were extremely popular, and many "foreigners" lined up in China City to have Hong Kong-style morning tea.
According to the habit of "foreigners", almost all shops are closed on Christmas Day. Even in the catering industry, only about 2% of restaurants in the United States are open. As usual, most downtown areas in Los Angeles are quiet during Christmas. Only one corner of China City is different, and the business of Chinese restaurants is particularly prosperous.
To "reflow"
Many Chinese businessmen who have worked hard overseas want to return to China for development. According to the European Union News Agency of Greece, after the Greek debt crisis broke out, the economic situation was not good, and some Chinese chose to emigrate to other European countries or return to China for development.
According to Chinese businessmen living in Greece, before the debt crisis, the Greek Chinese economic circle operated very well. Powerful enterprises buy goods directly from China, while enterprises with weak economic ability buy goods from other European countries for short-term switch trade. Every day, an endless stream of retailers come to China Trade Zone in Athens to purchase goods. However, the debt crisis has hit the lives of Greeks, and the business volume of Greek Chinese businessmen is decreasing. Seeing that some powerful China enterprises are unprofitable, they start to sell their assets, turn to third countries or return to China for development, which is also one of the main reasons for the decrease in the number of Greek Chinese.
Olang, Spain. Com reported that in recent years, Spain's economic trend is like a parabola. After the peak of glory, it took a sharp turn. The economy is getting worse every year, fewer and fewer people in China buy new stores, and more and more people in China sell old ones.
