“In Taiwan, more than half of enterprises are small and medium-sized chain enterprises, at least more than 6000, the Taiwan market is so big, in contrast, mainland business too much, relatively speaking, China chain operation and franchise system is still not mature enough, this gives Taiwan development very good reason.”Chinese Association of chain management director Wang Guoan phrase out of Taiwan, the driving force behind the development of enterprises in china.
Although early in the Taiwan open investment industry in mainland China, Taiwan enterprises have air plant, but the business environment, business opportunities now differ in thousands of ways, mainland enterprises to invest in Taiwan, be full of worries.
Taiwan enterprises in mainland began their first step?How in the catering, food and home furnishing chain in areas such as large-scale chain trend of expansion, laying channel, through the industrial chain, and other cooperation?
Join in — using other people’s money to expand self brand
“In Taiwan, to create a brand, for chain operation is the most usual way merchants start empty-handed, for small business owners, joining with other people’s money to expand its own brand, the final formation of a win-win situation in the best way, but first needed to establish effective straight camp shop.”Wang Guoan said.
Tiffany’s general manager Lin Jianxiong recalled: “after 4 years of direct sales store, started in 2000 to join.Opening speed of immediate, the average annual Hsintien 60 ~ 100.”When the mainland is still not clear how to join, but joined in Taiwan has a long history, entrepreneurs to create a brand and the establishment of commercial mode, with the intention to pay the initial fee, the use of the brand opened the door, by joining forces will brand benefit maximization.”Now, Yonghe soya-bean milk in mainland China has about 400 stores, 85% stores.For some commercial areas, we used the region to join.”
In addition to Tiffany, cross-strait coffee, Shangdaokafei, Diou coffee, diverse housing home furnishing stores are built in mainland China to join the channel set up for the samples, their common points with straight camp started, up to a certain size, steering flagship joined, rapid expansion.Home furnishing chain diverse housing founder Pan Shuzhen said, had 120 straight battalion, resynchronization expansion to 280 stores, diverse housing revenue amounted to 300000000 Yuan last year.”We direct and joined the shop’s proportion is 3: 7, this is the golden ratio, 30% straight camp shop can let the managers to understand the market.”
Flexible adaptive localization
In the process of development in mainland China, Taiwan will inevitably encounter difficulties, and flexible steering, change the chain strategy, is another major feature of taiwanese.
85 degrees C in Taiwan to defeat the Starbucks and well-known brands, to enter the mainland market, also suffered a big test.
“We are at the end of 2007, the first mainland stores in Fuzhou Road, but nobody expected that, 2 days will be closed.”85 degrees C associate Sun Wuliang frankly, in mainland China to open stores in Taiwan and have many different, its first store took over the original Starbucks store, according to local regulations, must be home to cancel the original food hygiene permit, and then take over to apply for new food hygiene permit, before operating.Just to the development of the continent 85 degrees C don’t know these rules, do not all licenses.
After the storm, Sun Wuliang began to think about the problem of how to develop in the mainland.”In the mainland for food and beverage industries, regulation is complex, we in Taiwan was 3 ~ 4 years to more than 340 stores, more than the number of Starbucks, is used to join, but we feel this way is suitable for some of the other in the mainland has the mature development of Taiwan, not for us, so we decided to change the strategy, completely temporarily do direct, but in the mode of operation to seek a breakthrough.”
So, 85 degrees C in mainland steering straight camp shop, shop 2 years number about 40, and build up a set of 24 hours, low-priced beverages and bread products drive sales business model, its main belt, in order to reduce the cost and speed up the leasing area stores, consumer turnover rate.In addition, the Shanghai also acquired a food production enterprise, with suppliers.Flexible steering of 85 degrees after C was also subjected to VC, PE favored.
In addition to 85 degrees C, the coffee, the coffee are flexible operation of enterprises.UCC coffee originated with Chinese restaurants and Starbucks Coffee mode, make market division.
Through the downstream Baotuan development
The development of Taiwanese businessmen in the mainland can always find the play to their own strength to the extreme.
“Channel is very important, whether you join or through direct mode, when your scale to a certain extent, can develop the derivatives, and even on the downstream industry through.”Wang Guoan said.
Yonghe soy milk in the development of hundreds of stores, which began acting as his own suppliers, in Heilongjiang, Jilin and Hebei to invest in the construction of milk powder production base, production and brand milk powder, placed in various stores and supermarkets and other retail stores sales, product line extension, the upper and lower run together.
In mainland China through the supply after the production of this kind of product, even will “kill” Taiwan market nuggets.Yonghe soya-bean milk chairman Lin Bingsheng said, can take advantage of cross-strait direct flights will be opened in time, soybean products sales to Taiwan.
“Open up the industry chain, laying the path not only make their sound development of enterprises, can also create other related industry common development opportunities.”Wang Guoan said, at present Taiwan many brands have development to the mainland, Taiwan is one of the major characteristics of uniting development.For example, diverse housing home furnishing chain into the Taiwan home furnishing products in the mainland areas of marketing, and Tiffany, six angle international as the representative of the Taiwan enterprises in mainland China focus on regional headquarters, so that the major businessmen will regional headquarters of operation, with the group home just as the chain of small and medium-sized enterprises, established 2000000000 Yuan Development Fund, everybody can other expansion.
Catering, food chain enterprises in the expansion at the same time, also drive the decoration, training industry development, formation of Taiwanese industry is highly cooperative and win-win.”In the near future, Shanghai Jiading also plans to build an Taipei street, all located in Taiwan brand, formation of Taiwanese businessmen in the mainland development intensive cooperation benefit.”
