Cross-border e-commerce, an emerging format, has become a new kinetic energy for the development of foreign trade. Lin ‘an District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province has mature industries such as cables, LED lamps, hardware, etc. How to lead more young talents into cross-border e-commerce industry? Lin ‘an District Organization Department, Commerce Bureau and other departments took Party building as the “red engine” and made vivid answers.
After the establishment of the Party branch of the Cross-border E-commerce Industrial Park in December 2017, this year’s cross-border E-commerce “E Tongfu” party building in Lin ‘an was also established under the concern of the Party Committee of Lin ‘an District Commerce Bureau. Hangzhou Zhumeng Talent Service Co., Ltd. is a member of the joint construction of the Party, and Jiang Weiguo, the general manager, is a member of the industrial park branch. Not long ago, he was invited to attend a wedding. The bride was a foreign college student introduced the year before last. “I’m so happy that I helped her rent a house and buy a house at first, and now she’s married!”
This foreign college student who settled in Lin ‘an is one of more than 220 college students introduced by Dreamers. “Our cross-border e-commerce industrial park needs foreign trade salesmen and foreign trade managers at the undergraduate level most, requiring students with high quality and strong language ability.” Jiang Weiguo said that dream-building talents are guided by party building and promote the “post-service” of talents. “After college students come, the first problem is to eat and live. We help to find a house and bargain all the way.” Even if you fall in love to find someone and plan to change your house, you can find a dreamer to help. The platform also builds a group of fellow villagers by province, and everyone helps each other, forming a bargaining chip to attract talents.
Alibaba Lin ‘an Service Center, a member of the cross-border e-commerce “e-Tongfu” Party Building, has the task of promoting senior management talents to lead the growth of young talents. After entering the Cross-border E-commerce Industrial Park in July 2018, Peng Wei, the person in charge, cooperated with the “E Road” in the park, and absorbed 8 enterprises to provide talents and supply chain services. For example, if the person in charge of Fantai Plastic Industry is invited to share the foreign trade experience, the PPT is 99 pages long, and it takes more than 4 hours to give lectures. “It’s all about dry goods, such as how foreign traders know the market, how to make customer development and inquiry, how to say the first call, etc.” Such trainings and salons are held regularly, and the strong entrepreneurial atmosphere benefits young talents.
The Party Committee of Lin ‘an District Commerce Bureau and the Party branch of Cross-border E-commerce Industrial Park also actively recommend talents and broaden the channels for talent development. For example, Chen Yuxia, who became a district party representative at the end of last year, is the head of Hangzhou Rouge Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., an enterprise in the park. She is an agricultural maker and has been a party member for 24 years. “Become a party representative, have a deeper understanding of the policy directions of provinces, cities and districts, and have more confidence in starting a business.” Chen Yuxia said.
The relevant person in charge of Lin ‘an District Bureau of Commerce said that through the joint construction of party building, the talent advantages of cross-border e-commerce in Lin ‘an were further condensed, and the high-quality development and the construction of common prosperity demonstration zones were promoted. In the next step, we will actively implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, further deepen the “three services”, and continue to improve the work linkage mechanism of the cross-border ecological environment of “linking up the government, taking over the enterprises, integrating resources internally, and shaping the image externally”, so that talents can continue to “shine” in high-quality development.
