The economic power of Chinese people has been paid more and more attention in the world. Hiring Chinese shop assistants and swiping China UnionPay cards have become magic weapons to compete for Chinese customers. 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 people even plan to return. Regardless of the future, the Chinese economy is increasingly valued by the world.
Busy with "shopping"
According to the overseas edition of People's Daily, Christmas is the annual shopping season, and Chinese living abroad are also busy.
The American Chinese media "Qiao Bao" reported that Christmas is just around the corner, and there is a rush to buy Christmas trees in the Chinese community in Los Angeles. Not only are there long queues in shopping malls selling trees, but cars loaded with Christmas trees are often seen on the roads. Major shopping malls and restaurants have decorated Christmas trees, and there is a strong festive atmosphere everywhere. Some Chinese residents said that it has been more than ten years since they bought Christmas trees every year.
among many shopping consumers all over the world, Chinese are a powerful purchasing power group that cannot be ignored. Seeing the business opportunities, British businessmen tried their best to attract more Chinese consumers to buy goods as Christmas approached in 2111. Luxury brand counters in several famous British department stores have started to employ more Chinese-speaking employees to ensure smoother communication with Chinese consumers. A sales employee of Omega Watch Store in Bond Street, London, said that in order to communicate more smoothly with China tourists who come to buy watches, 1/3 of the 12 employees in the store can speak Chinese. Harold, a famous department store in London, installed 75 UnionPay consumer terminals in the first quarter of 2111, which improved the efficiency of China tourists' credit card spending.
prepare a "big meal"
Different from Chinese who are crazy about "sweeping goods", some overseas Chinese operators seize business opportunities and earn money from foreigners. Overseas Christmas dinners are 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 "having a meal in a Chinese restaurant".
overseas Chinese restaurants are playing an increasingly dominant role in the market for "Christmas dinner". During the Christmas period, the catering industry in the United States has few guests, which gives Chinese who don't care much about Christmas a chance to make money. On Christmas Day last year, Chinese restaurants in Los Angeles were extremely popular, and many "foreigners" lined up to eat Hong Kong-style morning tea in China City.
According to the habit of "foreigners", almost all the shops are closed on Christmas Day, and only about 2% of restaurants in the United States are open even in the catering industry. As usual, most business districts in Los Angeles are quiet during Christmas. Only one corner of China City is different, and the business of Chinese restaurants is particularly prosperous.
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 move 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, with powerful enterprises purchasing goods directly from China, and enterprises with less economic ability purchasing goods from other countries in Europe for short-term switch trade. Every day, there are a constant stream of retailers who come to the Chinese Trade Zone in Athens to purchase goods. However, the debt crisis hit the lives of Greeks, and the business volume of Greek Chinese businessmen decreased day by day. Seeing that some powerful Chinese enterprises are unprofitable, they began to sell their assets and turn to third countries or return to China for development, which is one of the main reasons for the decrease in the number of Chinese in Greece.
Spain's Oulang. com reported that in recent years, Spain's economic trend was like a parabola. After passing the glorious peak, it turned sharply. The economy is getting worse every year, fewer and fewer Chinese buy new stores, and more and more Chinese sell old ones.
