Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 2417 New York Economic Club

After the funds arrived, Duan Yun was also surprised by Klaus's speed of operation. Only two days later, Duan Yun received an invitation from the Economic Club of New York to attend a party in the first half of this year as a special guest.

The Economic Club of New York is a preeminent, nonprofit and nonpartisan institution whose purpose is to foster research and discussion of social, economic, and political issues.

In fact, Duan Yun was a little surprised when he received this invitation, because according to his original plan, he was planning to go to a well-known American university to participate in a donation event and give a speech, but he did not expect to be invited by the New York Economic Club.

For Chinese people, the New York Economic Club is a relatively unfamiliar organization, because this organization has always accepted and absorbed outstanding top entrepreneur members from developed countries. This organization was first founded in 1907, and by this year, it has already A full 92 years of history have passed.

In fact, the reason why I received the invitation has a lot to do with the current international situation and China's rapid development. After 20 years of reform and opening up, China is now the seventh largest economy in the world, and judging by the current speed of development , In the next few years, China's GDP ranking will rise rapidly, and it is very likely that it will surpass several major European economies and become the top five or even the top three countries in the world.

It is precisely because of the active development of China's economy that more and more European and American entrepreneurs and capitalists began to regard China as a new "engine" for global development. Therefore, at this time, one of the most famous Chinese companies in the United States was invited to come This club is actually expected.

In fact, for many multinational companies, they are still a little unfamiliar with the Chinese market. Although they know that China’s economy is developing rapidly through capital companies, it is still unknown whether their products can make enough profits in China, especially China's system problems are different from capitalism. European and American companies may face the problem of acclimatization in China, so the appearance of Duan Yun may be able to solve some of their doubts.

That afternoon, Duan Yun met the members of the New York Economic Club on the top floor of the St. Regis Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Manhattan, New York.

Duan Yun is not an official member of this club so far, but since he can come here as a special guest, it means that he has a high probability of being absorbed as an official member, and Duan Yun himself is also very interested in this club , because doing business is sometimes all about networking, and with these top business elites, Duan Yun can easily find more business opportunities.

Director-General of the New York Department of Economics Kenneth Jenat warmly received Duan Yun, first introduced the situation of the New York Economic Club to him in detail, and then talked about some things with each other, including the speech tomorrow afternoon.

That night, Duan Yun was also invited to a dinner party.

To Duan Yun's surprise, in addition to the top executives of the New York Economic Club, there were also several top multinational giants attending the dinner.

This includes the vice chairman of Goldman Sachs, the CEO of Estee Lauder, the CEO of American Express, and Bill Gates, the president of Microsoft, and so on.

Except for Bill Gates, the others are all new faces, and being able to meet Bill Gates really surprised Duan Yun, because before that, although Duan Yun had known his name for a long time, the two of them hadn't been together like this before. met on occasion.

Sure enough, as Duan Yun expected, the current Chinese market was the most interesting thing for the big names from multinational corporations from various countries who participated in the dinner, which also made Duan Yun the core figure of this dinner.

Generally speaking, Westerners seldom talk loudly at a dinner party, but this time, there was something unexpected. The CEOs of several big companies began to show their favor to Duan Yun one after another and ask some things. The atmosphere at the scene seemed very warm .

For these people's inquiries, Duan Yun also patiently answered them one by one.

"...You can rest assured that our country welcomes foreign companies to invest and do business. It has been 1979 years since 20, and companies from many countries have achieved success in China." At the dinner table, Duan Yun began He talked eloquently, only to hear him go on to say: "For example, the German Volkswagen company, they are the first foreign well-known brand automobile companies to invest in China. Since the company officially went into production in 1985, it took three years to achieve a sales volume of 1. By this year, the sales volume of Volkswagen in China has exceeded 30, becoming the most popular joint venture car brand in China..."

Duan Yun is very familiar with the investment of German Volkswagen in China, and today he used the German Volkswagen as an example, in fact, to let everyone present have a more direct understanding of China's current consumption capacity, because they can afford it in China. The consumption level of car users is still very good, and products of other brands can also achieve very good results.

"Uh." Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"One of the important reasons why China's reform and opening up has achieved such achievements and attracted such foreign-funded enterprises is that our country attaches great importance to foreign investment, and the relevant support policies have always been stable, so you come to China For investment, you don’t have to worry about policy changes at all, because we will only get better and better.” Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: “If you choose to enter the Chinese market now, it is actually a very good time. The consumption power of our Chinese people Although it is far inferior to the United States, at least it can surpass most countries in the world now. After all, a market with more than one billion population as the base, even if there are only [-]% of the rich, is a very terrifying number……"

The reason why Duan Yun encourages these multinational giants to enter the Chinese market actually has his own ideas, because Duan Yun’s Tianyin Group has already established a complete e-commerce system in the Mainland. If these well-known brands of multinational companies can enter the Chinese market , while providing help, he can also earn huge profits, forming a win-win cooperation.

Another point is that Duan Yun hopes to get in touch with more such big names in the business world. On the one hand, he can improve his vision and contacts, and on the other hand, he can also find more business opportunities. Coupled with the rapid development of the Chinese market, Duan Yun is destined to become a highly regarded business figure in the world.
