Very few Brits have heard of Ningbo. Maybe I am bias - as I lived in the city for 18 months -but I strongly believe Ningbo should be top of the list for British businesses who are looking to get a foothold in the China market.
Why?
1. A clear British link: Thanks to the University of Nottingham’s strong and established presence in Ningbo it gives British business an advantage. This is a unique link which no other city in China has. People in Ningbo are knowledgable and positive about the UK. The university's business engagement team gives support and advice for both British and Chinese companies to help bridge the gap.
2.Logistics:The Ningbo-Zhoushan port is the busiest in the world! Much of China’s import and export goes through this dock. For a company which trades goods, Ningbo is a logical place to set up!
3.Close to Shanghai but better quality of life: Thanks to the Hangzhou Bay Bridge (the same length as the British Channel) it takes 2.5 hours to get to Shanghai. As the ‘business capital’ it is important have easy access to Shanghai. By setting up in Ningbo, business people can make a trip to Shanghai with little effort whilst enjoying the benefits of a smaller city such as cheaper rent, better quality of life (eg air quality and access to green space) and the fact that there is less international competitors based in Ningbo.
4. One of China’s most affluent cities: For companies looking to tap into the Chinese consumer market, Ningbo is very well situated. If Zhejiang (Ningbo’s province) was a country it would be ranked 24th in the world. Four of the top 20 richest cities are less than 3 hours away (Ningbo, Hangzhou, Shanghai and Wenzhou).
5. Educated work force: Thanks to the University of Nottingham’s campus, each year a thousand or so British educated Chinese students graduate. This makes Ningbo one of the best places to recruit highly skilled people with an understanding of how business is done in the UK/the west.
All five points are impressive in their own right.Ningbo's real USP for British business is the fact the University of Nottingham has set up an established network. They have paved the way for more businesses to take advantage of the positive attitudes to British business in Ningbo. With plans for the China British Business Council to set up an office and incubator space close the the university, there there will soon be a clear route for businesses to easily establish themselves in this fantastic city!
譯文
在英國(guó),很少有人聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)寧波。人們對(duì)她的了解有限,也許是因?yàn)槲以谶@個(gè)城市住了18個(gè)月而對(duì)它產(chǎn)生的偏愛(ài),我堅(jiān)信對(duì)于那些正在中國(guó)市場(chǎng)尋找立足點(diǎn)的英國(guó)企業(yè)們來(lái)說(shuō),寧波應(yīng)該被列于他們所選擇的城市名單榜之首。
為什么?
1.英國(guó)鏈接正因?yàn)閺?qiáng)大的諾丁漢大學(xué)在寧波設(shè)有分校,它給與英國(guó)企業(yè)們優(yōu)勢(shì)。這是一個(gè)獨(dú)特的,一個(gè)在中國(guó)其他城市所不具備的優(yōu)勢(shì)。寧波人對(duì)英國(guó)的認(rèn)知是正面積極的。諾丁漢大學(xué)的企業(yè)參與團(tuán)隊(duì)會(huì)給英國(guó)企業(yè)和中國(guó)企業(yè)支持和建議,為雙方架起溝通的橋梁。
2.物流發(fā)達(dá)寧波-舟山港是世界上最繁忙的港口之一,中國(guó)大量的商品都是通過(guò)這個(gè)碼頭完成進(jìn)出口貿(mào)易。對(duì)于一個(gè)從事貿(mào)易的公司來(lái)說(shuō),選址寧波,會(huì)得到非常得天獨(dú)厚物流條件!
3.接近上海因?yàn)橛泻贾轂晨绾4髽颍ㄩL(zhǎng)度接近英吉利海底隧道),從寧波到上海只需要兩個(gè)半個(gè)小時(shí)的車程。上海是中國(guó)的商業(yè)中心,能方便地去上海,對(duì)于企業(yè)來(lái)說(shuō),非常重要。企業(yè)選址在寧波,商務(wù)人員可以很方便地到上海,又可以享受小城市的好處,比如租金便宜,享受更好的生活品質(zhì)(如較高的空氣質(zhì)量和分享更多的綠色空間)。還有一個(gè)事實(shí)就是在寧波,有著較少的國(guó)際競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手。
4.中國(guó)最富裕的城市之一對(duì)于想敲開(kāi)中國(guó)消費(fèi)市場(chǎng)大門的公司,寧波有著非常好的地理位置。如果浙江省是一個(gè)國(guó)家,她(富裕程度)將會(huì)是世界排名第24名。中國(guó)最富有的20個(gè)城市中的4個(gè)城市,相互之間的距離都小于3小時(shí)車程(這些城市是寧波、杭州、上海、溫州)。
5.人才資源優(yōu)勢(shì)每年有1000名左右受過(guò)英國(guó)教育的中國(guó)學(xué)生從寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)畢業(yè)。這也是寧波的最佳優(yōu)勢(shì)之一,企業(yè)可以招聘到高技能的人才,他們非常了解在英國(guó)或西方如何開(kāi)展業(yè)務(wù)。
憑借他們真正的實(shí)力,所有這五點(diǎn)給人印象是深刻的。諾丁漢大學(xué)已經(jīng)完成設(shè)立了一個(gè)既定網(wǎng)絡(luò)的設(shè)置。他們利用寧波對(duì)于英國(guó)企業(yè)的正面積極的態(tài)度,為英國(guó)投資者在寧波開(kāi)展業(yè)務(wù)鋪平了道路。諾丁漢大學(xué)還計(jì)劃在學(xué)校旁邊設(shè)立英中貿(mào)易協(xié)會(huì)理事會(huì)的辦事處和企業(yè)孵化中心,在那里,企業(yè)會(huì)很容易地,并很快地在這個(gè)美妙的城市扎根、生長(zhǎng)!
