< p > president's visit to China and Sino French relations to a new height < /p >

P: last month, French President Hollande visited China.

How do you think the new process of Sino French relations has a positive impact on the entry of French enterprises into China? < /p >

Russo: President Hollande came to China, the first visiting western power head after the emergence of China's new leadership group.

Moreover, the current visit to China is strong, and its entourage members include ministers of foreign affairs, economic and finance, foreign trade ministers, and dozens of big entrepreneurs from all walks of life, including finance, environment, pportation, food and so on.

This means that the visit has identified the development ideas of bilateral relations for nearly ten years, and has used the Sino French diplomatic ties for 50 years to push Sino French relations to a new height.

< p > reporter: < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > the world top 500 enterprises < /a > 238 in Chengdu, France has 24 enterprises.

How do French enterprises view the western market of China? < /p >

P: Russell: the economic crisis has a great impact on the euro and European markets, and has a significant weakening effect on the French economy, which has affected French consumption and overseas investment.

< /p >

< p > this does not mean closing the existing market.

On the contrary, the French have to open up new markets in the five continents.

The Chinese market is bound to be a priority for French companies.

To be sure, many large French enterprises have accelerated the pace of "China".

< p > wealth forum will make Chengdu more internationalized < /p >.

< p > reporter: what are the new opportunities for the upcoming fortune forum? What do you think will bring Chengdu and the French enterprises in Chengdu? < /p >

P: Russell: I believe that entrepreneurs who come to the a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" Fortune Global Forum /a will surely get the findings beyond the Western Conference.

< /p >

The P wealth Global Forum will make Chengdu more internationalized, and will also provide a platform for multinational corporations and corporate decision-makers.

Of course, apart from the big events like Fortune Global Forum, every day, enterprises, consulates and local governments are making efforts to promote exchanges between the two sides so as to make the development of Sino French stronger and more solid.

< p > 500 strong report comprehensive depth can be collected < /p >.

< p > reporter: after reading the report of the world's top 500 French magazine, what do you suggest? < /p >

P: Russell: I think it's very good. For the first time, Chinese newspapers published the excellent French companies in such a comprehensive and in-depth way. I think these newspapers can be kept in archives.

These reports also enable Chinese enterprises to understand French and French enterprises more realistically, and welcome more Chinese enterprises to invest in France.

< p > the spirit of law and enterprise: the coexistence of innovation and tradition < /p >

< p > reporter: in April, we visited 8 famous French enterprises, such as Schneider electric, Senofi, Danone, and so on.

How do you understand the spirit of French enterprise? < /p >

P > Russo: if briefly summed up, it is two words: innovation and tradition.

I believe that innovation involves sustained technological vitality and continuous inspiration.

< /p >

< p > Chinese often say that France is a romantic country. Indeed, 14 French people have won the Nobel prize in literature.

However, 13 people in France have won the Nobel prize in physics.

That is to say, France's technology and romance are equal.

This is very important for the promotion of the productivity of enterprises.

< /p >

At P, innovation also brings inspiration.

For example, watches, fashion and handbags of top brands are leading the world trend.

Innovation also allows French enterprises to have enough openness in the face of the world economic system, so as to make the market bigger.

< /p >

< p > and the traditional factor is embodied in many famous large enterprises in France, which have at least one hundred years of history, and some even started in 1605.

Because they uphold the tradition, they are always doing what they are best at, based on their own strengths, and eventually become the world's top 500 enterprises.

Carrefour, for example, came from a retail store in the outskirts of Paris, and finally became a giant in the world.

< /p >

< p > I think so many enterprises can become the top 500, marking the success of French education system and the high openness of France to the world.

< /p >

< p > law firms value their partners and manpower costs less than /p.

< p > reporter: what factors do French enterprises settle in Sichuan? < /p >

< p > Russo: I think the focus of every company is different.

But two factors are necessary.

< /p >

< p > one is to see whether the partners have been developing for many years and have mature experience.

Two, the cost of human resources in the West has some advantages over the north, the upper and the wider.

Of course, there are also strategic considerations for enterprises.

For example, when the Alliance Insurance Company in France set up its headquarters in Chengdu, the foreign companies who saw the industry were still blank in the west, so their settlement occupied the leading edge.

< /p >

< p > Sichuan enterprises can go to law first, consulate consults policy < /p >.

< p > reporter: < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > Sichuan < /a > enterprises also have passion for France and European market. What suggestions will you give to Sichuan enterprises? < /p >

P: Russell: my suggestion is that if you want to settle in France, you can go to the Consulate General of France in Chengdu for policy advice.

We will introduce the preferential policies and some information exchange to the enterprises one by one.

Of course, they can also understand the French policy and the French business environment through companies that have landed in France.

As far as I know, Changhong, HUAWEI and other enterprises have offices in Paris. Some companies even have more than 100 billion euros in investment in France, and the prospects are very good.
