Hello, let's add a WeChat account! "This is the most frequently said sentence by Hungarian businessman Bens in recent days. Although this is Ben's first visit to China, he had already downloaded the most popular instant messaging software in China and registered an account named after his own company before boarding the plane. Nowadays, WeChat has become a standard feature for overseas Chinese merchants, who use their actions to interpret the enormous attractiveness of the Chinese market.


Love to use


Has become a new fashion for trade merchants with China


At the Central and Eastern European Countries Commodity Exhibition held from June 9th to 12th, many merchants from these countries used WeChat as an important promotion method for their businesses. Many booths and brochures have the company's QR code printed on them for visitors to scan. My friends told me that Chinese people are using WeChat and also recommend me to use this software. "Ben Si told reporters that almost every purchaser who came to his booth to discuss business would invite them to add his WeChat account. Ben Si is very handsome, and his WeChat head is like a selfie of him in his car, with a Pannonian sunshine smile. Ben Si believes that it will be very helpful for him and his company's brand to let his partners add his WeChat account.


Anthony from the Czech Republic recognized the role of WeChat earlier than Bens. For many years, Anthony has been engaged in trade with China, and gradually, he found that his Chinese friends no longer use email and phone to communicate business. Anthony said, "Five years ago, I learned about WeChat and I also found that many Czech businessmen engaged in trade with China are using it. Gradually, WeChat has become the most common way for me to communicate with Chinese friends“


Yin Yuhong, Director of the Beijing Office of the Czech New Silk Road Chamber of Commerce, said that using WeChat had become a trend several years ago. It seems like overnight, they all used the most popular social media app in China. "Czechs people think WeChat is more convenient and direct than other ways. In addition to text, they can also send links, photos, and voice." Before the words fall, Yin Yuhong's mobile phone rings. Look, Anthony sent me the photo of us just now via WeChat


These foreign merchants using WeChat also indicate that China's power is gradually increasing on the world stage, "said Rossi, Deputy Director of the Beijing Office of the Czech New Silk Road Chamber of Commerce." Previously, we Chinese people had to cater to the habits of foreign merchants by using MSN and email. But now they are using our most commonly used WeChat


Can use


Proficiency in official account, WeChat shop and payment


At the Polish booth in Hall 1 of Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center, the trademarks of many Polish enterprises formed a "brand wall" around a two-dimensional code picture, and the two-dimensional code of the Polish Investment and Trade Bureau's WeChat official account was clustered in the center like stars in the sky. The General Representative of the Polish Investment and Trade Bureau in China, Yudliang, told reporters that the bureau is mainly responsible for projects such as two-way investment and Poland's economic and trade promotion to China.


The reporter learned that the official account mainly pushed some important Polish economic and trade activities in China and news reports on Polish economic and trade cooperation with China. Youdeliang said: "This official account is mainly for promoting the relevant information of Polish Investment and Trade Bureau, which is a good platform. Since it has just been opened, it is also carrying out some promotion activities."


As a major agricultural country, Romania has a long history of wine production and a deep foundation. In the eyes of Gao Borui, the head of a wine company in Romania, Envision, micro stores are a very good platform. On the one hand, they can showcase their company's products well, and on the other hand, they can directly allow consumers to make purchases on this platform. Three years ago, the company entered the Chinese market and soon established a micro store online. The reporter noticed that in the company's micro store, sales were considerable, and even several popular wines were out of stock.


At this year's commodity exhibition, in addition to business negotiations for bulk goods, many merchants also hope that buyers and consumers can experience their products first. At the Croatian booth, in addition to displaying wine, olive oil, and artworks from Croatia, there is also a WeChat payment QR code for the company's head Nick posted on the counter. Consumers can make payments directly by scanning the QR code to purchase products from the company's booth. Nick said that Chinese consumers have become accustomed to making payments through wireless means, which also has a promoting effect on promoting products.


All along, the continuous progress of technology has been changing our way of life, and China's continuous progress is also changing the way foreign merchants engaged in economic and trade cooperation with China do business. With China's increasing weight in the international economic and trade field, the "micro" era of economic and trade cooperation with China is also approaching.
