20 10 China wanbao engineering company was selected as one of the top 500 construction enterprises in China.
This is the sixth consecutive time that China Construction Enterprise Federation has conducted a comprehensive, scientific and independent investigation, research, publicity and release on the strength development of enterprises in China. This year, we collected data from more than 2000 China construction enterprises in Chinese mainland/KLOC-0 with a total profit of 30 million yuan to 9 billion yuan, ranked the candidate enterprises according to the sales revenue, total assets, total profit, credit rating, social contribution, owner satisfaction and other indicators, and conducted on-the-spot investigation on some candidate enterprises, from which 500 top 500 enterprises in China construction industry were selected.
In recent years, China's overseas project contracting scale in the international market has been expanding, and its influence is increasing day by day. According to the statistics of the Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Commerce, by the end of August 2009, the total turnover of China's foreign contracted projects was 307.4 billion US dollars, and the contract amount was 5 163 billion US dollars. China contractors have been improving in the international project contracting market, and have undertaken many large-scale projects with great influence in the world, such as Madura Bridge in Surabaya, Penang Bridge in Malaysia (under construction), Tehran Metro in Iran, etc. Some of them have become local landmarks.
However, one of the most common problems that China enterprises face when they go global is that the prevailing industry standards in the world today are all formulated by the West. When the West first developed these industries, China did not participate, so these standards did not contain China elements. The biggest obstacle for China enterprises to go global, whether in business philosophy, business model or business mode, is different from the prevailing standards set by the West, which leads to the lack of relevant China standards or the inconsistency of standards and norms for the cooperation between China enterprises and foreign enterprises, and is also quite constrained in the implementation and follow-up of project contracts, which has seriously affected the overseas development of China enterprises. The reporter interviewed customers in The Export-Import Bank of China and learned that many engineering projects are funded by China enterprises, but they have to adopt western standards for construction, which is restricted by western supervision companies, leaving China enterprises in a passive position. This is not only not conducive to the competitive advantage of Chinese enterprises in contracting projects abroad, but also affects the economic benefits of the project.
In an interview with reporters, the general manager of China Wanbao Engineering Company, one of the top 500 construction enterprises in China, said that in the early 1980s, China opened the door to reform and opening up, and China Wanbao Engineering Company entered the ever-changing international market. It is the first company to form a series of construction services for different needs and market fields, and its business involves dozens of countries and regions in Asia, Africa and America. It has successively undertaken a large number of influential economic assistance and contracting projects such as Gwadar Deepwater Port in Pakistan, OP-5 Liquid Terminal and Karachi Tidal Passage Project. "But we have never had an English translation of China's traffic construction standards. As a result, the construction design came from China, but the standards came from Europe and America, which invisibly increased the project cost. " The general manager said this.
China Wanbao Engineering Company, one of the top 500 construction enterprises in China, said that the lack of unified and standardized foreign language standards has always been a major obstacle in the process of introducing China standards. Some African countries receiving aid from China have clearly expressed their willingness to use the China standard. For example, Alkabes Ochube, Minister of State of the Ministry of Public Works and Urban Development of Ethiopia, made it clear during his visit to China that the Ethiopian expressway built by China Wanbao Engineering Company would use the standardized specifications of China. However, the China standard is only available in Chinese, and the English and French versions have not been released to the outside world, resulting in the failure to effectively implement the China standard in the project construction. It is of great significance to translate the China standard into English and French so that other countries can evaluate, adopt, refer to, read and use it in project implementation.
In today's world, the progress of science and technology and the development of productive forces have made the links between countries increasingly close. In line with the general trend of world economic globalization, governments all over the world encourage their enterprises to go abroad. Only in this way can we be in a favorable position in the fierce world competition and even achieve political goals. In this context, transnational corporations have increasingly become the most extensive and far-reaching enterprise form that has a far-reaching impact on the world economy, and have a great impact on the economy, politics, culture and even customs of developed countries, developing countries and poor countries. The sales of some giant multinational companies even exceed the gross national product of some countries. Because of this, the problem of enterprises going global has attracted more and more attention.
Indeed, under the new international economic situation, it is an important strategy for China enterprises to "go global" and carry out international operations, aiming at improving the international competitiveness of China enterprises, enhancing the motivation and stamina of China's economic development and promoting the long-term development of the national economy. Letting China standards go abroad has undoubtedly become a necessary strategy for China enterprises to occupy the commanding heights and take the initiative in international competition.
The new measures of China Wanbao Engineering Company, one of the top 500 construction enterprises in China, undoubtedly opened a breakthrough for the "going out" of China standard.
