Recently, at the invitation of the Ministry of Marine and Investment Co-ordination of Indonesia and Rayong Prefecture of Thailand, Yi Lianhong, Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, led a delegation from Zhejiang Province to visit Indonesia and Thailand. On the morning of the 12th to 15th local time in Indonesia, the Zhejiang delegation visited Indonesia. The Secretary of the
Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the Director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress visited Zhejiang enterprises in Indonesia Yi Lianhong and hosted a symposium on the 10th anniversary of Zhejiang businessmen's participation in the construction of the "the Belt and Road".
At a symposium with Indonesian Zhejiang businessmen, Yi Lianhong said that the vast number of Zhejiang businessmen who are struggling and innovating outside have always been the concern of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee, the provincial government and the people of the whole province, and Zhejiang will always be the warm harbor and strong backing of Zhejiang businessmen. Under the background of high-quality co-construction of "the Belt and Road", we have seized new opportunities for development with a keen sense of smell, opened up new space for leap and win-win concept, built a new bridge for cooperation, and constantly endowed the "4000 Spirit" with new connotations in the new era, fully demonstrating the standing pattern and national feelings. I hope you will fully conform to the general trend, grasp the trend, unswervingly "go out" development, enlarge the pattern, find the right coordinates, dare to fight and create a new situation, practice internal skills to consolidate the foundation, constantly enhance competitiveness, adhere to the bottom line to fulfill their responsibilities, always achieve a steady pace, always maintain a sincere return to Sangzi, actively help Zhejiang develop, and make greater contributions to Zhejiang as a pioneer and write a new chapter.
The reporter also made a special connection with Luo Yong, Secretary-General of the Zhejiang General Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia, who was far away in Jakarta, and listened to his story about Zhejiang businessmen in Indonesia and his observation of the Indonesian market.
"the meeting began with many people standing in the back row."
At 4 p.m. local time on November 14, Luo Yong met a special group of people from his hometown in Jakarta, a delegation from Zhejiang Province led by Yi Lianhong, Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee.
This is an exchange meeting on economic and trade cooperation between China (Zhejiang) and Indonesia, which is full of seats.
Luo Yong also drew a special emphasis on "full seats", which is not an empty word. "At the beginning of the meeting, there were many people standing in the back row. We added chairs many times before everyone sat down one after another. The seat is almost up to the camera in the back row.
"Because the local government issued many invitations in the early stage, some enterprises could not immediately confirm the itinerary, but today they all came to the meeting." Luo Yong introduced that the scene was not only a group of Zhejiang businessmen growing in Indonesia like sweet potato vines, but also many large Indonesian enterprises, including the Indonesian National Bank and the Indonesian National Railway Corporation.
When talking about the thoughts and feelings on the spot, Luo Yong said frankly that he could clearly feel that the Zhejiang Provincial Committee and the provincial government were very supportive and encouraged Zhejiang businessmen to expand their business overseas. "We also hope that our enterprises can achieve evergreen development in Indonesia, become a century-old shop and establish credibility." He said that as Zhejiang businessmen who "came out" earlier, they do have the responsibility and obligation to maintain their reputation outside, and hope to have the opportunity to feed back their hometown in the future.
The voice message makes "Luo Yong" particularly exciting, and the concern beyond the message also makes them particularly warm. "Tell us that health is the most important, and tell us that under the premise of abiding by local laws and regulations, our hometown will always be our strong backing."
Just like the affectionate message of the Secretary of Yi Lianhong at the Sixth Zhejiang Business Congress at the end of last year, "We are not only concerned about Zhejiang businessmen's flying high or not, but also about Zhejiang businessmen's flying tired or not."
"Four thousand spirits" collide with the Indonesian market, 80% of which are opportunities
. In 2013, Indonesia ranked 44th in the world in terms of its attractiveness to mainland Chinese investors, and in 2023, Indonesia has become the second largest investment destination for mainland Chinese investors, second only to Singapore. "In fact, many of the funds invested in Singapore are actually invested in Indonesia, in other words, Indonesia can be said to be the most concentrated place for China's foreign investment at present.". Indonesians who can speak Chinese can earn several times more than others.
Luo Yong has been working in Indonesia for 18 years. In his view, Indonesia is a previously neglected market with great potential, especially for Chinese enterprises and Zhejiang enterprises.
First, Indonesia has a huge market space. As a country with 280 million people, Indonesia itself has the largest market in Southeast Asia. At the same time, as a member of ASEAN, it is also a bridge for China to invest in ASEAN; Second, Indonesia is relatively open to foreign investment, and is a market with insufficient competition. For Zhejiang businessmen with the "4000 spirit" and various technological advantages and scale effects, there are almost opportunities everywhere. Third, Indonesia has abundant natural resources, including nickel, oil, natural gas, coal, etc., as well as abundant labor resources and low labor costs; In addition, its geographical location is very close to China, and its logistics network is very convenient.
"Apart from the challenges of language differences, cultural differences and unfamiliarity with laws and regulations, there are few other obstacles in the market." Luo Yong said that if estimated by percentage, only 20% of Indonesia is a challenge, and the remaining 80% is an opportunity.
Indeed, as he said, in recent years, more and more Zhejiang businessmen are turning their eyes and funds to Indonesia. In August this year, Hongshi Holding Group Indonesia Dongjia Hongshi Cement Co., Ltd. Phase I clinker cement production line with a daily output of 10000 tons was successfully ignited and put into operation ; In July this year, Tongkun Group held an interim shareholders'meeting to consider and approve the proposal of Taikun Petrochemical (Indonesia) Co., Ltd. for the integration of refining and chemical industry in North Indonesia with a total investment of 8.624 billion US dollars; In March this year, Huayou Cobalt signed a series of agreements with Vale Indonesia and Ford Motor Company, a global automobile manufacturer, to establish a tripartite partnership to invest in the high-pressure acid leaching (HPAL) project in Indonesia's Pomara mining area and jointly build a new energy lithium power industry chain. It is
worth mentioning that more Zhejiang businessmen voted for Indonesia in earlier years. As early as 2010, Zhenshi Holding Group began to invest in nickel mines in Gebei Island, Central Halmahera County, North Maluku Province, Indonesia, becoming the first Chinese enterprise in Indonesia to have both nickel resources and a ferronickel smelter. After more than 10 years of deep cultivation in Indonesia, Zhenshi has completed many projects such as Yashi and participated in the investment and construction of Weidabei Industrial Park. In May
this year, Indonesia's Castle Peak Industrial Park welcomed the 999th ship of construction and production materials
. Castle Peak Holding Group entered Indonesia in 2009. In October 2013, the Morowali Park was signed for construction. On the one hand, the park will attract Chinese ferronickel smelting enterprises with complementary advantages in the industrial chain. According to reports, this park has enabled the county to leap from a remote village to an industrial town in just a few years, and Indonesia has become the second largest stainless steel producer in the world, effectively enhancing the level of industrialization and downstream in Indonesia.
It is understood that during this visit, Yi Lianhong also visited and investigated the enterprises in Indonesia, such as Qingshan Holding Group and Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co., Ltd., to get a detailed understanding of the development of the enterprises and to have a cordial conversation with the employees of the enterprises. He also held talks with Xiang Guangda, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Qingshan Holding Group, Chen Xuehua, Chairman of Huayou Holding Group, Chen Lei, Chairman and President of Tongkun Group, Zhang Xiaohua, Chairman of Hongshi Holding Group , Zhang Jiankan, President of Zhenshi Holding Group, and Zhang Shiquan, President of Hangzhou Haixing Electric Power Technology Co., Ltd.
