Countercurrent 1982

"I have always advocated the globalization of trade, which is also one of the goals that many Chinese and American companies are striving for. Globalization is not a zero-sum game. Trade is not about snatching, but sharing. In this year's world, there should be some A new thinking and positioning." Duan Yun on the stage talked eloquently, only to hear him go on to say: "The future globalization is not only about the trade of goods and services, but also pays more attention to the spiritual trade in the digital age, that is, culture and values. communication and sharing..."

Duan Yun's words are shocking. What he said before is completely correct, but when he talked about the exchange and sharing of culture and values ​​in the future, he really surprised many people present.

Because in any case, the physiques of China and the United States are different. One is capitalism and the other is socialism. These two social systems are often regarded as incompatible. Nowadays, there are not many socialist countries like China, and many people in the United States are still hostile to China.

In fact, Duan Yun also knows this, so when talking about global business trade, he also deliberately downplays the conflicts in the national system, because as a multinational entrepreneur, he needs to communicate internationally without any obstacles, and It will not cause some unnecessary troubles.

In addition, in this speech, there is another bright spot in Duan Yun's discourse, which is to call on global leaders to pay more attention to the status of small and medium-sized enterprises in the process of globalization, encourage them to participate in global trade, and use the global Internet and digital The construction of technology connects these SMEs with globalization.

Duan Yun's remarks obviously overturned many people's perceptions, because in the current global trade, only those well-known large multinational companies are the real players, and for small and medium-sized enterprises, it is still difficult for them to To make profits in the process of globalization, on the one hand, the capital strength is not strong enough, and on the other hand, the product technology is not competitive. Therefore, in the current world, global trade can only be a stage for large multinational companies to compete.

This undoubtedly aroused the strong attention of many entrepreneurs in the audience. In fact, many years ago, Internet e-commerce has become a hot spot in the United States, and e-commerce companies like Amazon have also been born. But in general, e-commerce The proportion of e-commerce in domestic trade in the United States is very small, even negligible. One important reason is that human resources in the United States are too expensive, and no e-commerce company has its own logistics system.

The logistics system established by Duan Yun in mainland China is actually much more developed than that of the United States. Duan Yun has seized almost every period of domestic Internet development and relied on his strong capital accumulated in his early years. With the establishment of a complete e-commerce logistics system, and with more and more franchised merchants, Tianyin Group's e-commerce has reached the forefront of the world, and in the next step, Duan Yun plans to use his own Internet e-commerce system in mainland China , to establish a global e-commerce sales platform, which is also one of the important purposes of his visit to the United States this time.

"...I hope that with the joint efforts of all of you, the world will become richer and more creative, so that every spark of wisdom can release its value without hindrance around the world. We Tianyin Group I am also willing to cooperate with American companies to create more business miracles, so that the trade between China and the United States will be closely linked and become a model of global trade!"

After Duan Yun finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the audience.

All of a sudden, there was thunderous applause at the scene. Entrepreneurs living in the front row stood up one after another and applauded warmly for Duan Yun's speech.

After Duan Yun's speech, many business politicians and the media commented one after another, expressing their appreciation for Duan Yun's new viewpoint, believing that this is a subversive breakthrough and innovation in globalization thinking, and some media people even compared Duan Yun His speech called it "one of the milestones that changed thinking about globalization".

Duan Yun's speech has clearly achieved what he wanted, and the actual influence far exceeded his expectations.

On the second day, Duan Yun was surprised to find that he had occupied the front pages of many newspapers in the local newspapers in the United States handed over by his assistant, and many of the contents of his speech were published in the newspapers intact. .

"Mr. President, your speech is really very successful. Now many figures in the business world are discussing your speech. Their interest in the Chinese market is getting bigger and bigger." In the hotel's coffee shop, Duan Yun and William Krauss sat face to face, and William Krauss had a look of reverence for Duan Yun at this time.

In William Krause's view, Duan Yun is simply a very smart person. Duan Yun's speeches can not only grasp people's psychology, but also some business theories are indeed very advanced, subverting some of his previous understanding of business.

"Our Chinese business philosophy is mutual benefit and win-win. You can make money, and I can make money, so that everyone is better off. You Americans like the winner takes all. Although the ideas are different, you can actually exchange what you want. Duan Yun smiled slightly, and continued: "You did a good job this time. I just want my voice to be heard by more Americans, and let them know that I want to make more friends when I come to America this time. It can also bring them a lot of opportunities and benefits.”

"No problem. I know a lot of friends from the media. You are a hot topic in the United States, and they are willing to report on you." Klaus smiled and continued: "In addition, I received a lot of invitations yesterday. , from all walks of life in New York, they all want to invite you to dinner and golf, and there are many universities that want to invite you to visit, which may take up a lot of your time..."

Obviously, Duan Yun's e-commerce globalization initiative has indeed aroused the interest of many people. They all want to get a piece of the emerging Chinese market, and Tianyin Group, which has the strongest e-commerce network in mainland China, has become It is one of the best springboard platforms for them to enter the Chinese market, so it is normal to have so many invitations.

"This is a good thing. I can stay in the United States for a while this time. You can arrange the specific matters. No matter whether it is a big or small business, we can treat them equally. I will stay in New York for at least a week." Duan Yun thought for a while and said .

"One week should be enough, I'll deal with it now." Klaus nodded, then got up and left.
