Speaking of the recent international news, you must not have imagined that our China's "three jumpers" - that is, the kind of electric small three-wheelers, suddenly became popular in foreign countries.
It's not a joke, it's true! Imagine those blond and blue-eyed foreigners, riding our tricycles, shuttling through their streets and alleys, isn't this picture quite joyful?
Seriously, it's not easy.
According to data from some market research institutions, the global market sales of electric tricycles will reach 61.86 billion yuan in 2023, which sounds heart-pounding, and is expected to double to 149.89 billion yuan by 2030.
This is not a small number, right? Especially in the Asia-Pacific region, which accounts for more than 90% of the global market, what does this mean? It shows that our "three jumpers" are really popular overseas!
You may ask, isn't this thing all over the streets of our country? Why are foreigners so rare?
Hey, that's actually quite complicated. Our "three jumpers" are cost-effective, cheap, and durable.
Again, the labor cost is high on the foreigners' side, and the cost of making such a thing by themselves may be more expensive than buying a ready-made one.
In addition, we have also put a lot of effort into the design of our "three jumpers", which is lightweight, environmentally friendly, and has a bit of a magical prompt sound, which suddenly caught the attention of foreigners?
Moreover, don't underestimate these "three jumpers", they are a microcosm of China's manufacturing industry.
Take Jiangsu Zongshen as an example, it has been the No. 1 seller in the industry for 18 consecutive years, and the sales volume will exceed 28.82 million units by the end of 2023.
There is also Henan Loncin, with an export volume of more than 80 million US dollars and a sales volume of nearly 100,000 units in 2023, which is faster than a rocket!
Of course, there's more to this than just the numbers.
For example, Jiangsu Zongshen has been deeply involved in the micro vehicle sector for many years, creating a strong corporate strength and brand legend.
Sanming Zhongxing Automobile Industry Trading Co., Ltd. not only set up a joint venture company in Angola, Africa, but also set up an import and export trading company in Guangzhou, forming a pattern of transnational operation.
Another interesting thing, do you remember the video of the American father-in-law who was so happy to show off like a child after receiving the "three jumpers" from his Chinese daughter-in-law?
That video not only made "Three Jumpers" popular in the United States, but also drove a large wave of export orders. This is the power of cultural export!
However, to be honest, although the "three jumpers" are very popular abroad, our own people are sometimes a little unconfident.
I always feel that foreigners' things are good, but I can't get my own things.
Actually, it's all bias. The reason why our "three jumpers" can stand out in overseas markets is not luck, but hard power.
They not only meet the needs of foreigners for personalized and environmentally friendly travel, but also represent the innovation and progress of China's manufacturing industry.
Moreover, it is not just an economic success, but also a cultural exchange.
Each "three jumpers" is a mobile Chinese business card, they shuttle through the streets and alleys of a foreign country, allowing the world to see the charm of Made in China.
