"It is not easy for Chinese people to do business in Russia. In Russia, many people have a deep-rooted dislike of foreigners. This dislike used to be due to their sense of superiority over the past Soviet era. Now they see the Chinese economy

It is developing so fast, but the Russian economy is still in a quagmire, which creates a hostility. In addition, many Russians believe that what they give China is forests and energy, which are all good things;

Some of them are fake and shoddy products. In the impression of Russians, the products that best represent China’s manufacturing level are street stall products that are full of smuggling, cheapness, and rough workmanship. This intensifies their dislike of Chinese businessmen. On the contrary, the developed West

The country's businessmen are better off doing business in Russia. Therefore, the risks of doing business in Russia are very high. These risks come from the police, market managers, customs managers, social security officers, etc., and even from banks.

Lack of credit. You also have to consider the influence of Russia’s underground illegal organizations. They control all important railway lines in Russia and are inextricably linked to important departments along the railway lines. However, in Russia, the comprehensive business

The gross profit margin is also very high, even reaching over 40%, which is equivalent to the level when China just started its reform and opening up." Aso Xiangyue has been in Russia for these years, although she has always been successful.

The upper-level approach, but his understanding of Russia was the most profound among those present. In just a few words, he clearly explained the pros and cons of Chinese people entering Russia to do business.

The comprehensive gross profit margin is 40%, which is already a quite astonishing number. No wonder Chinese merchants, facing the Russian customs with many layers of obstacles, would rather risk the confiscation of goods than go through "grey customs clearance"

"Enter Russia. However, Fang Mingyuan will naturally not consider "grey customs clearance". With the influence of Carrefour Supermarket and Aso Xiangyue's relationship in Russia, the right way is to enter the customs through normal channels, and not be wronged for that little tariff.

If you kill yourself, the wool comes from the sheep anyway!

"Furthermore, I believe that many of China's products can be sold well in Russia, but the quality of the products must be guaranteed. Fang, despite Russia's current economic downturn, Russia still has a considerable number of

The middle class, so the more high-end goods in Russia, the more profitable they are. This GUM department store sells all high-end goods, and the annual profits are quite astonishing." Aso Xiangyue pointed to the stores in GUM department store.

Fang Mingyuan nodded. Aso Xiangyue's statements were basically consistent with the Russia he knew in his previous life, and they were also generally consistent with the Russian situation collected by Sun Zhaolun.

Regarding this point, he and Sun Zhaolun also argued about the positioning of Carrefour Supermarket in overseas markets. Sun Zhaolun naturally believed that it should be positioned for the general public just like in China, and provide the best similar products at the lowest price.

, exchanging quantity for profit. However, Fang Mingyuan believes that the overseas market of Carrefour supermarkets should be positioned according to specific conditions. He believes that the main service targets of Carrefour supermarkets overseas should be the middle class of various countries, not the ordinary people at the bottom.

.

Needless to say, Western developed countries have a majority of middle class people. The top rich and the poor at the bottom are relatively small in number and are shaped like date kernels. Therefore, the political situation in Western developed countries has always been relatively stable. This is what the world knows.

recognized.

In markets like those in emerging countries, although like China, the people at the bottom make up the majority, Fang Mingyuan believes that there are several disadvantages in classifying them as the main target of consumption.

First of all, in any case, Carrefour supermarkets are imported products to the citizens of these countries. With the rise of nationalism in various countries around the world, there will be more and more trade frictions in the future. If Carrefour supermarkets occupy too much of the retail market share

, will inevitably cause great dissatisfaction among local businessmen, and will definitely cause a lot of trouble in the future. But if it is just a small disturbance, it is not worth the trouble and effort for Carrefour supermarket to enter the country's market.

Second, Fang Mingyuan has never forgotten that in his previous life, despite having become the world's largest manufacturing country and the world's second largest economy, China's manufacturing was ranked second or even third-rate products in the world! That is what all knowledgeable Chinese thinkers

The pain that can never be erased from people’s hearts. Huaxia’s products rarely have their own brands abroad, and even if they do, they are not world-famous brands. Our own factories can only OEM for those world-famous brands to earn the most

With a negligible amount of wages, those foreign brands can take away more than 90% of the profits. To innovate and have your own brand, you have been shouting for countless years, but the results are very few. Since you want your own

If a brand becomes a first-class international brand, you must first think highly of yourself! Wal-Mart Group is also for the public in the United States, but in China, Wal-Mart Supermarket is definitely a high-end supermarket chain.

Third, Fang Mingyuan feels that Carrefour Supermarket can establish a new subsidiary jointly with local businessmen and register new brands to compete in the low-end markets of these countries, just like Carrefour Group's Dia Tiantian. This can ensure that Carrefour Supermarket will remain in the market.

For overseas profits, direct conflicts with local businessmen are avoided as much as possible. This is a long-term way to make money.

The group of people walked around the mall casually, and Fang Mingyuan was also paying attention to the prices of various luxury goods here, and comparing them with those at home. Compared with China, GUM Department Store not only has a much more complete range of goods,

, there are some brands that Fan Mingyuan has never seen in China. And from the price point of view, many products are also cheaper than those in China. This is not surprising to Fan Mingyuan. After all, the level of tax collection by the domestic government is definitely the best in the world.

One of the best among big countries.

"Really, it's so troublesome to buy a bag!" Zaharov said helplessly as he leaned on the railing outside the store, looking at several girls in the store who were chirping and looking at the products.

"Okay, don't be so impatient. There is your sister here." The young man beside him whispered with a smile. Several other peers also laughed and comforted Zaharov.

Be patient. Obviously Zaharov has the highest status among this group of people. Firstly, Zaharov's parents are both high-ranking officials in the Russian government. Secondly, the Zaharov family also has some influence in Moscow.

, and thirdly, it is also because Zakharov is an official teaching assistant at Moscow State University.

Moscow State University, full name Moscow Lomonosov State University, is the largest and oldest comprehensive higher education institution in Russia. Many world-famous people and dignitaries in Russian politics and science have graduated from this school. The school’s Hall of Fame

Five of them have won the Nobel Prize, including Pavlov, a well-known scientist in China.

Moscow State University has 4 observatories, 3 museums, a botanical garden with an area of ​​nearly 50 hectares, various scientific research institutions and laboratories, as well as squares, sports fields, gymnasiums, theaters, auditoriums, etc. The total area is 320 hectares.

The school has 16 departments and more than 50 majors. It has gathered the country's first-class academicians, professors and doctors of the Academy of Sciences. It has about 30,000 students, including international students from more than 100 countries. Moscow State University has repeatedly emphasized that the university must become a scientific education institution.

The center insists on teaching in the native language and cultivating first-class scholars and professionals.

It is precisely because of the lofty status of Moscow State University in the Russian education community and its countless alumni resources in various fields in Russia that Russians also respect the faculty and staff of Moscow State University. This is just like when Americans hear,

This is a professor from Harvard University, so he has a little more respect.

Zakharov's ability to become a teaching assistant at Moscow State University has proven his strength - not everyone can take on the role of faculty and staff at Moscow State University, even those from rich families and officials who don't have much real ability.

It is not easy to get in. What's more, Zakharov is an assistant to Professor Alexey Maximos, a well-known Russian economics expert. Professor Peshsev has close ties with the Russian government.

Many senior officials from China have close contacts. It is said that even Russian President Yeltsin once invited him to the Kremlin to seek advice in person.

Therefore, in the circle of young people in Moscow, Zakharov still has a certain reputation. In addition, he also has three beautiful girls,

"Huh? Zaharov, look over there, there are two beautiful women over there!" Someone suddenly pointed to the opposite side and whispered to Zaharov.

"How beautiful she is. How can she be more beautiful than my sister?" Zaharov muttered. His sister was a well-known beauty in Moscow's high-level circles. But even so, Zaharov still turned to point to him.

Looking in the direction, Zakharov was stunned on the spot.

"§＄№￥※◎○◎..." Zakharov, who had been stunned for a long time, cursed angrily, but he spoke too fast, and even the people around him didn't hear clearly.

"You guys stay here. If you call me if you need anything, I'll go over there first!" Zakharov hurriedly warned his companions. Under everyone's surprised gazes, he quickly walked upstairs along the corridor.

Run to the other side.

"What happened to Zakharov? What happened? His sister is still in the store." Someone asked in confusion.

"I don't know, maybe I saw someone I know?" someone speculated.
