人民币中间价形成机制调整以来,因为资本外流导致国内的资金紧
张,进一步的货币宽松箭在弦上,而8月25日这个箭射了出来,
力度比预期还要大,在降准的同时降息。
此刻正是中国和全球股市新一轮下行的关键时刻,目前还很难判
断“双降”对于资本市场的作用,因为此轮下行并非完全由资金面变化
引起。
当前也不必过度解读下跌引发的危机,尤其是与亚洲金融危机类
比,亚洲大多数国家的国际收支状况较上世纪90年代有很大改善,且
制度更为健全,即使部分国家较为紧张,但目前仍未到 危险的时刻。
自从8月11日人民币贬值开始,市场一直存在降准的预期,但央行
主要采取逆回购和中期便利操作(MLF)等工具向市场投放流动性。
8月25日晚间,央行网站发布消息称,中国人民银行决定自8月26
日起,下调金融机构人民币贷款和存款基准利率。其中,金融机构一年
期贷款基准利率下调0.25个百分点至4.6%;一年期存款基准利率下调
0.25个百分点至1.75%。消息还称,自9月6日起下调金融机构人民币
存款准备金率0.5个百分点同时额外降低部分金融机构的准备金率。
央行此次不仅降准同时还降息,政策力度超过市场预期。央行相
关负责人表示,此次降准,主要是根据银行体系流动性变化,适当提供
长期流动性,以保持流动性合理充裕;降息的主要目的是继续发挥好基
准利率的引导作用,促进降低社会融资成本。
而行业专家认为,降息主要是为了缓解经济压力,降准除此之外
的另一个目的则是为了对冲资金流出。认为这次货币政策出台应该是用
以应对多方面原因的,如流动性不足、经济不景气以及股市暴跌等等。
从调控实体经济的角度来看,降息降准的目的,显然是希望在通胀形势
和流动性创造机制变化的背景下,维持合理的实际利率和支持适度的货
币信贷增速。
值得注意的是,央行此次降准降息的同时还推出了利率市场化的
举措。央行发布的消息称,放开一年期以上(不含一年期)定期存款的
利率浮动上限,活期存款以及一年期以下定期存款的利率浮动上限不
变。利率市场化似乎由此又迈出了重要一步。
In this issue of China Economic Review, we take a solid look
at theme parks, the growth of the business, and the prospects
for their further growth in the massive China market. Disney is
leading the charge with its massive Shanghai park due to come
on line next year, but there are many other aspects of the theme
park story. We also look at the changing landscape of online sales
in China, and their impact on the offline retail economy. Plus
a review of the economic power of Asian-Americans in the US
economy given the unique cultural and social background issues
that influence so many purchasing and investment decisions.

THE HOUSE VIE W
China’s latest SOE reforms make fi rms bigger, not necessarily better
When reports first began
circulating in 2012 that Xi
Jinping’s new administra-
tion was planning reforms to China’s
bloated SOE sector, many international
observers hoped it would mean an end
to the old model of unprofitable policy
enforcers whose chief concern was to do
Beijing’s bidding. After all, the market
was now supposed to play a “decisive
role” in China’s new economy.
Then, after precious little progress
for more than a year, hopes sprang
anew as word came of plans for con-
solidation: Major state firms were to be
pared down from about 120 to roughly
40. But in the drive to consolidate Chi-
na’s central government-run SOEs, all
indicators to date suggest the chief goal
will be just that: Consolidation.
It appears this latest policy push to
shake up the state-owned sector does
not represent a fundamental shift in
how China’s government-run firms are
structured and run, beyond possibly
making them easier for top leaders to
corral. But fewer firms overall means
fewer divisions of the banking system’s
money pool. Cheap financing from Bei-
jing flowing to a smaller group of cor-
porate colossi could give state firms an
edge over competitors who do have to
worry about their bottom lines. Wheth-
er this ultimately makes them more
profitable is another matter.
“It’s just consolidation—there’s not
too many signs of genuine reforms,”
said Victor Shih, associate profes-
sor at the University of California in
San Diego and longtime observer of
China’s financial system. Even after all
the changes proposed so far, Shih said,
“they’re still SOEs.”
Not for profi t“These are not profit-maximizing
organizations,” Shih said. This fun-
damental feature of state firms raises
questions about the official reasoning
behind the merger of China’s two state-
owned rail companies. Officials have
state these firms had been undercutting
each other in bids abroad, undermining
one another’s profitability and harm-
ing the state in a cycle economists call
“ruinous competition”.
“The whole argument is ridicu-
lous,” Shih said. “The reason there was
ruinous competition between those
two companies is because they had a
soft budget constraint, and they could
borrow as much money as they want-
ed at very low interest rates from the
banks.”
Such perverse incentives seem of lit-
tle concern to top leaders, who have
stated in policy and major meetings
that, in effect, the cure for what ails
China’s state enterprises is more state
and less enterprise. While reforms had
been on the cards since the start of Xi’s
term, they were only laid out on the
table this year. According to state media
reports, Xi told a meeting of the party’s
discipline commission in January that
party control of SOEs should be intensi-
fied, with supervision of company boss-
es strengthened.

THE HOUSE VIE W
The move fit in with a general push
to centralize power that had already
extended to various governing bodies
through ‘small leading groups’ headed
by Xi and his deputies. Robert Blohm
said Xi’s approach to SOEs differed
from the technocratic, hands-off style
of his predecessor Hu Jintao prima-
rily in prioritizing control. China’s top
leader most recently drove this home in
a speech this week calling for stronger
party leadership at government-run
firms during a politburo meeting at
which unspecified documents on SOE
reform were approved.
Blohm said that if SOEs are sup-
posed to act as tools to help the govern-
ment realize an agenda of international
preeminence, “in that role you need
scale.” Hence the mergers. If that means
the resulting firms operate even more
like arms of the government, so be it.
“For privatization of public finance, the
government seems to prefer the public-
private partnership route.”
That plank of the program came
into view in May, when the National
Development and Reform Commis-
sion invited private investors to help
build, fund and operate a list of 1,043
projects worth a total of RMB1.97 tril-
lion (US$317.75 billion) throughout
China.
These public-private partnerships
improve government firms’ balance
sheets by offloading potential debt onto
private sector companies in exchange
for project rights. They also help fund
projects that new restrictions on off-
balance sheet borrowing might other-
wise preclude.
Uncheckable growthThis is all accomplished without any
of the nettlesome privatization meas-
ures that might actually make SOEs
less beholden to anyone outside their
shareholders in the party, such as
bringing in sizable blocs of private and
foreign shareholders. That might hold
the danger of seats on boards of direc-
tors filled by private sector, profit-
minded investors who could demand
things like the right to hire and fire top
executives.
In fact, abhorrence of profit-mak-
ing projects has extended even to one
of China’s most successful financial
endeavors, the China Development
Bank. The global investor was called
upon early this year to reduce its more
profitable investment expansions and
revert to its proper role as a policy
bank first and foremost. Meanwhile, a
drive to sever SOE executive pay levels
from company profits further encour-
ages those in charge at SOEs to yield
even nominal control to the party in all
things.
To top it off, this isn’t the first time
attempts have been made to pare down
SOE numbers. A recent Brookings
Institution report found that while SOE
numbers had actually dropped from
2004 to 2010, the number of SOE sub-
sidiaries had skyrocketed. Shih, at UC
San Diego, said that conglomeration
might help avert ruinous competition
in some cases, but “the tendency to bor-
row money and expand as much as pos-
sible will still be there.”
For example, now that rail firms
CSR and CNR have merged, the new
entity can go to a bank, pull out the lat-
est five year plan and point to sections
on rail development both in China and
abroad to justify loans without any
worry of another firm trying to under-
cut it. Central government-owned SOEs
in particular are privileged with access
to cheap financing and the ability to sell
products at a loss.
“As a result they do become very
competitive in a sense: As long as the
Chinese banking system can give them
limitless money, and because don’t care
about act bottom line, they’re going to
be very competitive [abroad] because
they can undercut competitors who do
have to worry about their bottom line,”
Shish said.
Yet even if enormous, govern-
ment funds are ultimately limited,
and even a centralized conglomerate
can conceivably fall—perhaps harder
and faster than smaller, unconsoli-
dated counterparts. According to a
report from finance news magazine
Caixin, at end of 2014 state steel trader
Sinosteel and its 72 subsidiaries were
late on payments totaling RMB75 bil-
lion to 80-odd banks both foreign and
domestic.
Nor does expansion abroad guar-
antee success, with much of Sinosteel’s
current woes stemming from its acqui-
sition of Australian iron ore mining
outfit Midwest Corp. According to
domestic media, when SASAC asked
Chinese banks to cancel Sinosteel’s
debts, they refused. “You wouldn’t
have seen that five years ago,” Shih
said. “There’s no longer endless cred-
it.”
The much-maligned SOE structure
and plans for re-structuring seem to be
going nowhere, at least for now. But
logic suggests that economic realities
can only be staved off for so long before
the firms have nowhere left to turn
when the government credit tap finally
runs dry.

新观察
中国智能手机市场步入成熟期,谁会是下一个新宠?文章来源:尼尔森市场研究
在这个多屏时代,几乎人人都拥有一
台以上的智能设备,设备间的融合
性和可替代性受到挑战。智能机市场未来
发展的关键何在?大屏手机时代,平板电
脑的市场前景如何?异军突起的可穿戴设
备的市场究竟又有多大?尼尔森 新公布
的《2015年智能设备用户研究报告》针对
中国智能机市场和全球智能机动态,带你
一一解读中国智能设备市场未来发展的新
观点。
中国智能手机成熟期来临消费升级与市场动力转移
根据尼尔森中国消费者信心指数报告
以及尼尔森《智能机用户研究报告》,预
计2015年末中国用户智能手机渗透率将达
到73%,比2014年同期增加11个百分点,
相比较2013年(较2012年增长22%)和
2014年(较2013年增长15%),这一数
字出现明显下滑,标志着中国智能机市场
逐步由快速增长期步入成熟期。
此外,智能机在中国城镇的渗透率
已经非常接近或超过90%,意味着在这
一时期,数量的增加或将不再是主流的趋
势,消费者将更注重追求智能机的质量和
性能。
同时,报告显示,尽管一线城市智能
手机的渗透率已经高达90%以上,且从去
年全年来看渗透率持平(94%),但仍有
55%一线城市消费者在2014年底表示将在
未来12个月购买智能机,这些需求主要源
自设备的更新换代。
尼尔森中国总经理乐是德(Oliver
Rust)指出:“智能机市场将迎来消费升
级—预计在出货结构上,2015年中高端
的份额会逐步提升。抓住消费升级机遇的
厂商将获得快速发展。”,“且2015年,
智能机的主要新增市场将会来自低线城
市、农村,中老年、低收入和体力劳动人

群。根据不同消费群体的需求特质,制定
开发这些低消费力的人群有效策略,将是
把机会变为市场增长点的关键。”
平板电脑第二波增长取决于个性化制定能否成功
根据尼尔森报告数据,截至2014年
底,中国市场平板电脑渗透率达到30%,
接近笔记本电脑35%的水平。“由于平
板第一拨高速增长的主要动力来自于替代
笔记本电脑的娱乐需求,因此当其渗透率
接近笔记本时,是否意味着其高速增长
的阶段已经过去?而下一阶段,只有能精
细化地满足不同特殊场景下的用户个性化
体验需求,才有可能迎来下一波的高速增
长。”乐是德指出。
消费者对智能手表/手环的购买意愿明
显增长,而对于平板电脑的购买意愿没有
明显变化
可穿戴设备接力智能机这类产品未来大有可为
根据尼尔森调查显示,2014年,对于
30岁以下的年轻人以及学生群体对智能手
表或手环的购买意愿分别有两个百分点和
六个百分点的提升。
从个人电子消费品类来看,平板电脑
渗透率已经接近笔记本电脑的水平,而智
能手表/手环仍有较大空间。
乐是德认为如果说智能机是必须品,
智能穿戴设备则是极具个人色彩的非必需
品,故可穿戴设备的未来市场潜力还有待
进一步挖掘,例如,它可以覆盖智能机无
法覆盖的细分人群,如老年人和儿童,因
为家长不会给一个7岁的儿童购买智能机,
却完全可能为他穿戴上一块智能手表。
据尼尔森阿里巴巴赚金石平台监测显
示,消费者真正 关心的是智能设备的外
观设计(18%)和健康功能(34%),而
电池续航能力的重要性则没有出现在前10
位的关注点之内。因此,尼尔森相信,在
外观设计和健康功能给消费者带来卓越体
验的智能穿戴产品,将会在这个市场创造
新一波的销售增长。
新科技设备的接力赛开始 《第一财经周刊》消费大数据预测未来
在第一财经和阿里巴巴发布的《中国个性化消费大数据报告》中显示,有不少数
据是关于家电以及科技消费品的。我们可以看到90年代的空调、电脑、录像机,
再到新世纪以来的手机、电脑、汽车,一种商品成为消费热点之后,又逐渐淡出
消费热点,形成排浪式的变化。在报告中,不少智能科技产品的销售增幅巨大。
“所有的消费市场都是如此,既然有新兴市场必定也存在成熟市场。”英敏
特生活方式高级研究分析师顾菁表示,与那些新兴的科技产品相比,传统大家电
市场在未来肯定增速放缓。
根据中国家用电器协会数据,今年一季度电冰箱和空调累计产量同比负增
长,洗衣机同比增长接近10%,一季度电冰箱、洗衣机销售同比微增。另外,我
们的数据也显示,消费者对大件家电的采购趋势也开始从此前的高速增长转向平
稳增长。
虽然如此,但传统家电行业为了适应时代发展在不断升级换代。以电视为
例,2015年开始,腾讯、百度等互联网行业龙头加大在智能电视领域布局。腾讯
先后与康佳、海信等电视龙头在电视游戏上展开合作。同时,鹏博士作为通讯运
营商也加入智能电视供应商大军,零利润提供电视硬件、掘金运营、视频等附加
服务价值。传统彩电制造业、互联网企业、通讯运营以及传媒企业,纷纷加入智
能电视终端提供。
中国银河证券的一位分析师称,这将加快智能电视的普及和大众习惯的养
成,硬件普及后将使视频、游戏、在线教育等新服务走进千家万户,带来电视产
业链全新的盈利模式。
人们消费水平的提高也体现在他们愿意为新科技设备买单。
顾菁表示,移动设备尤其如智能手机和平板电脑已经快速占领科技市场,并
成为城市消费者们生活不可或缺的物品。“在过去五年,智能手机的市场量复合
年均增长率为65.9%,平板电脑则为157.3%。79%的平板电脑拥有者主要以娱
乐为目的,电子游戏等或会更热。”
而《中国个性化消费大数据报告》显示,2014年开始 爆款的单品无疑是
智能机器人和可穿戴设备。仅以扫地机器人为例,在阿里大数据上,这一产品
在2014年的销售额同比增速达到159.02%,增速排名在全部品类商品中排名第
26位。
“得益于网络环境改善带来的连结性能大幅度提升,智能可穿戴设备原有的
商务健康功能被极大程度的释放,并激发开发者的极大创意,”尼尔森中国总经理
乐是德(Oliver Rust)说,“因其可覆盖智能机无法覆盖的细分人群,比如老年人
和儿童,譬如家长不会给一个7岁的儿童购买智能机,但完全可能为他穿戴上一
块智能手表。”
“可穿戴设备的未来市场潜力还有待进一步挖掘。如果说智能机是必须品,
智能穿戴设备则是极具个人色彩的非必需品。如何让消费者买单,需要我们敏锐
的捕捉到消费者的个性化需求”,他强调。
乐是德相信,在外观设计和健康功能给消费者带来卓越体验的智能穿戴产
品,将会在这个市场创造新一波的销售增长。

China’s international payment system to be limited solely to trade dealsThe China International Payment Sys-
tem set to launch this year has become
a scaled-back version of its former self
that will only be used for cross-border
yuan-denominated trade deals, rather
than also including capital transactions,
Reuters reported, citing two unnamed
sources. The move could delay billions
of dollars worth of transactions that
would have gone through the system,
which will now offer at most a network
for settling yuan-based trade-relat-
ed deals complimentary to a current
patchwork of Chinese clearing banks
dotted around the world.
Close to 90% of China’s 668mn Internet users get online via smartphoneChina’s Internet users rose to 668
million as of the end of June, push-
ing internet penetration for the country
to 48.8% as the proportion of those
using smartphones rose to 88.9%,
South China Morning Post reported,
citing a new report by the official China
Internet Network Information Center.
The number of people using desktops
and laptops to go online fell to 42.5%
and 68.4%, respectively. Tablets fell to
33.7%, and are expected to drop further
as large-screen smartphones proliferate.
Mobile online services saw correspond-
ing gains, as mobile payment users grew
to 276 million and mobile e-commerce
users hit 270 million.
Wal-Mart buys remainder of online retailer Yihaodian after co-founders’ departureWal-Mart has purchased the remaining
49% of Chinese e-commerce venture
Yihaodian, gaining full ownership of
the online retailer after its co-founders
announced their departure earlier this
month, The Wall Street Journal report-
ed. Wal-Mart acquired the remaining
Yihaodian shares from financial serv-
ices group Ping An of China and the co-
founders, former Chairman Yu Gang
and former CEO Lui Junling. Wal-Mart
is eager to link the online retail out-
fit with its more than 400 brick-and-
mortar Chinese stores, where traffic has
fallen over the past three years and was
down 8.9% last quarter.
China CO2 pledge entails mas-sive build-out of hydropower damsBeijing’s plans to cut CO2 emissions
will commit it to developing a round
of ecologically destructive hydropower
dams in China’s southwest, central and
western provinces, The Financial Times
reported, citing analysts and advocates.
“By the end of the 13th five-year plan
the rivers in southwest China will be
basically gone,” said Stephanie Jensen-
Cormier, spokesperson for NGO Inter-
national Rivers, referring to China’s
policy blueprint to 2020. Installed
hydropower capacity is set to rise to
350 gigawatts by 2020, an increase of 60
GW, plus a possible additional 70GW
in storage capacity at reservoirs creat-
ed to mitigate seasonal fluctuations in
power generation caused by changing
river flow.
Rare earths still plentiful despite crackdown on smuggling opera-tionsChinese authorities are struggling to
break up an illegal supply chain for rare
earth metals, 40,000 tons of which were
smuggled out of the country last year,
Reuters reported, citing industry esti-
mates. The smuggled minerals, which
far exceed the 28,000 tons of officially
recorded exports, are squeezing over-

seas producers like America’s Molycorp
and Australia’s Lynas Corp, whose busi-
ness plans were built on China’s efforts
to crack down on illegal production and
restrict domestic supply. Many hoped
removing quotas and tariffs this year
would end arbitrage opportunities, but
with Beijing imposing production caps
and many miners operating well below
full capacity, the incentive to produce
remains.

Crackdown on illegal meat drives smugglers to more dangerous measuresA crackdown on meat smuggling by
Beijing appears to be driving smugglers
at China’s borders with Hong Kong and
Vietnam to take greater risks with food
safety, Reuters reported, citing inter-
views with smugglers, traders, customs
agents and anti-smuggling officials. Sei-
zures of smuggled meat have jumped
nearly threefold this year and spurred
headlines alarming to even Chinese
consumers already wearily familiar with
food scandals. Greater scrutiny means
customs agents often no longer turn a
blind eye to refrigerated trucks entering
China, forcing smugglers to adopt more
desperate and dangerous tactics. “Peo-
ple are bringing [meat] over one box
at a time, just like ants moving home,”
said a customs official in the city of
Changsha.

How Disneyland Shanghai will change Disney—and China

pany’s intellectual property. For China
it represents a dynamic new rival for
existing sophisticated park operators,
imminent apocalypse for low-quality
competitors, and a new, higher stand-
ard to which the country’s burgeoning
theme park industry will inevitably be
held.
But yes: Shanghai Disneyland will
also almost certainly make an obscene
amount of money—though thanks to
advancements by local rivals, it’s unlike-
ly to be the only one.
Big figuresThere is no denying Disney’s domi-
nance of the global theme park indus-
try, and the latest TEA/AECOM 2014
Global Attractions Attendance Report
attests to the enduring growth in foot
traffic at practically all of its locations
(save for Disneyland Paris, where visitor
numbers fell 4.7%).
Walt Disney Attractions easily
topped the latest industry with attend-
ance totaling over 134 million visitors
in 2014. Visitors to Disney’s parks were
more than double those of runner-up
Merlin Entertainments Group and well
over triple the attendance of Universal
Parks and Resorts in third place. But
China’s theme park industry is shaping
up in its own right, adding urgency to
Disney’s debut on the mainland.
China’s OCT Parks group came in
fourth place at almost 28 million visi-
tors, and the top ten for 2014 saw two
more Chinese groups’ debut: Ninth
place had Chimelong Group with
In 2006 the Spring Festival holiday
in Hong Kong began on a Saturday
and ended on a Tuesday. The mobs
hit the magic kingdom on Wednesday.
It turned out that Disney had sold
special tickets to its Hong Kong park
that weren’t valid on certain days,
including Spring Festival. But in Hong
Kong that didn’t include the three extra
days allowed for the holiday on the
mainland. Soon tour agencies were bus-
sing in more Chinese visitors than the
park’s operators could possibly handle.
After lackluster performance following
its launch, the 30,000 person-capacity
park was suddenly offering refunds as it
turned back tourists at the gates.
“It was a major disaster,” said
Markus Schuckert, an assistant profes-
sor at Hong Kong Polytechnic Univer-
sity’s School of Hotel & Tourism Man-
agement. “They had valid tickets, they
should’ve been able to enter the park.”
The upshot was all that unmet
demand, tantalizingly close across the
Hong Kong-mainland border. Nine
years later Disney is nearly in a position
to take advantage of it with Shanghai
Disneyland scheduled to launch in the
spring of 2016.
Long in the coming it may be, but
there are few safer bets than Shanghai
Disneyland. There are far more far-
reaching ramifications to the Disney
kingdom’s mainland debut than the
castles of cash it will bring in. For Dis-
ney the new park will be a promotional
tool as well as intelligence source, both
a bastion and beachhead for the com-

18.6 million visitors and Songcheng
Worldwide came in tenth with 14.5
million—respectively up almost 60%
and over 103% from 2013. (Chime-
long’s successful launch of its Ocean
Kingdom park in Zhuhai drew big
numbers and a prestigious industry
award.) These groups actually man-
aged to squeeze two other Chinese
groups off the list from 2013: Fantaw-
ild and Haichang.
Nine of the top ten theme parks
in the world were Disney’s in 2014,
though two mainland parks made the
top 25 and Hong Kong Disneyland
came in fifteenth. But 13 of Asia’s top
theme parks were located in greater
China in 2014, the top two of them in
Hong Kong: Ocean Park in fourth and
Hong Kong Disneyland in sixth. Chi-
nese tourists drove growth around the
region as well. Lotte World in South
Korea saw a big increase in attendance
almost entirely thanks to mainland
Chinese visitors.
Chimelong’s Ocean Kingdom was
open for 11 months last year but is
already at #10 of Asia’s top 20 list and
is rapidly expanding its hotel capac-
ity. Adult admission of RMB350
is 80% higher than the competitive
market price of RMB200, according
to AECOM, indicating that people are
willing to pay for quality. Disney is
counting on it.
Changing Disney“Disney obviously gains access and a
share of huge, growing, rising income
market,” said Mark Soskin, associate
professor economics at the University
of Central Florida’s College of Busi-
ness. Sorkin, who has co-authored a
number of papers on Disney’s growth
and business model, said the park had
effectively been pre-sold with little
marketing thanks to Disney’s global
recognition.
The reverse is true as well: Shang-
hai Disneyland will provide the com-
pany with a new venue to promote its
intellectual property. Already it has
announced that the new park will fea-
ture an area dedicated to the Star Wars
franchise, which currently carries little
of the cache of Mickey or Marvel in
China.
The Shanghai location will also pro-
vide a valuable intelligence gathering
point for Disney as it tries to figure out
what will play best to mainland audi-
ences. But the branding won’t stop at
the park gates.
“The Chinese [tourist] mentality
is very much for shopping and mer-
chandise and then giving gifts back
home,” Schuckert said. He suggested
that the proclivity to bring back sou-
venirs would play an important role
in Disney’s strategy for the new park,
much as it does in Tokyo’s Disneyland.
That would mean more merchandise
in more Chinese homes, even those
who don’t visit the park.
Sorkin added that other Dis-
ney parks would likely benefit from
the new one as well. “Each new park
spreads the cost (and thus lower-
ing Average Cost) of developing and
installing new rides and park attrac-
tions,” he said.
Changing ChinaFor China the most immediate impact
of Shanghai Disneyland will be on its
domestic theme park industry. While
up and comers like Chimalong have
raised the bar, says Schuckert, “Disney
will be more advanced because Disney
always operates on the highest stand-
ards possible.” That will play a role
in educating consumers about what a
theme park can be.
“It will really impact the indus-
try. The Chinese tourists will experi-
ence better parks and they will know
where to go and where not to go in the
future,” Schuckert said. He suggested
that while such top-tier competition
as Chimelong, Songcheng, Fantaw-
ild and Haicheng would survive, the
outlook could be grim for lower-tier
parks without a strong theme or qual-
ity attractions.
“Maybe we’ll see a shakeout of
theme parks, especially in the area
around Shanghai,” he said. That could
encourage blowback from those affect-
ed. Donald Keane, Professor of Chi-
nese Media at Curtin University, said
that for many nationalists in China,
said that not everyone would appreci-
ate Disney’s inroads on the mainland.
“Mickey Mouse is a potent symbol
of capitalism, creativity, the US and all

COVER STORY
that goes with that,” Keane said. “Dis-
ney represents… a kind of archetypal
Western company.”
But market forces could play to
the company’s advantage, and to the
industry’s. Where many feared that
Hong Kong Disneyland’s debut would
marginalize the territory’s established
park, Ocean Kingdom, both parks now
do good business and have benefitted,
from healthy competition, Schuckert
said.
Sorkin agreed that cultural issues
were critical, and said Disney had
learned to be flexible without compro-
mising or diluting its brand reputation.
But the new park wasn’t without its
risks, he said.
“Even a subtle error can offend
local sensibilities that virally explodes
in this age of social media into an
international embarrassment that takes
months or years to reverse,” he said.
“Rival parks and tourism attractions
may have an interest in blowing such
incidents into an edge via advertising;
but just as often, surrounding, parasiti-
cal business and entire regional econo-
mies have a strong fiscal incentive to
protect and defend Disney.”
There is likely plenty of local inter-
est in Shanghai Disneyland’s success.
At 963 acres the new park is much
larger than its Hong Kong forbear, and
Disney owns only 43% of the 963-acre
park, though it gets 70% of the man-
agement company running the resort.
The rest of those assets belong to a
consortium of state-owned compa-
nies known as Shanghai Shendi Group,
putting the local government firmly on
Disney’s side.
The park also received an enormous
cash injection from the Agricultural
Bank of China in 2014 when Disney
decided to delay the park’s opening
to avoid the underwhelming opening
performance of Hong Kong Disney-
land, which early visitors complained
felt half-finished.
Keane said the Disney’s expand-
ed presence on the mainland also
increased the likelihood of a Disney-
China coproduction in the near future,
echoing what is happening elsewhere
in the film industry.
“This kind of thing will make a kill-
ing in the theaters and give the local
industry some credibility,” Keane said.
That would fill everyone’s coffers, and
encourage more expansion. “Disney
after all is about expanding empire,”
he said.

米老鼠之家上海迪斯尼乐园的开业意味着对迪斯尼集团和中国带来双重影响
China Economic Review | September 201522
![Page 23: CER Sep. 2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022082218/57906e031a28ab6874928506/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2006年的农历春节,香港人的四天假
期从星期六起,止于星期二。就在春
节假期结束后的第一天—这个普通的星
期三,却有大量游客纷纷涌向香港迪斯尼
乐园。
出现这一情况的原因主要在于香港
迪斯尼乐园所销售的门票十分特殊,包括
春节在内的特定节假日是不可使用的。然
而大陆的春节假期长达七天,因而较之香
港多出的三天假期并不受限于门票的特殊
规定。于是旅行社们充分利于这一规定,
在这一时段组织大陆游客赴港游迪斯尼乐
园,以至于超出了乐园的 大负担。本可
容纳3万人的迪斯尼乐园不得不将超出承受
范围的游客拒之门外,为其安排退款。
这一情况在香港理工大学酒店旅游管
理专业副教授Markus Schuckert看来,
无疑是迪斯尼乐园的重大失策。既然游客
持有的是有效门票,便没有理由被园方拒
之门外。
这一局面归根结底源自大陆消费者未
被满足的市场需求。因此,9年后的今天,
迪斯尼集团希望利用将于2016年春季开业
的上海迪斯尼乐园弥补这一问题。
尽管上海迪斯尼乐园尚未开业,但几
乎已经可以预计其未来的成功。迪斯尼乐
园在中国大陆的初次登场,除了带来非凡
的经济利益之外,还具有其他更为深远的
意义。于迪斯尼而言,新的乐园将成为迪
斯尼旗下各知识产权的阵地,有利于今后
的推广和宣传。于中国而言,为大陆市场
现存的乐园运营企业增加了一个极具竞争
力的新对手,为低质量的竞争者带来极大
冲击,也将为国内整个主题乐园产业设立
更高的标准。
诚然,目前我们几乎可以肯定上海迪
斯尼乐园的开业势必将带来经济上的巨大
收益。然而本土竞争者们亦不甘示弱,在
行业内已颇有发展。因此上海迪斯尼乐园
若想一家独大,也绝非易事。
大数据迪斯尼集团在全球主题公园产业的领
先地位毋庸置疑。根据美国主题娱乐行业
协会TEA和艾肯国际咨询公司AECOM联
合发布的2014年全球主题景点入场人数报
告显示,除巴黎迪斯尼乐园4.7%的下降
外,全球各地的迪斯尼乐园都拥有在客流
量方面的持续增长。
华特迪斯尼公司在2014年度轻而易
举吸引了总计超过13.4亿的游客,登顶
行业之首,领先排名第二位的默林娱乐集
团两倍、排名第三位的环球影城三倍有
余。然而,中国的主题乐园产业正在凭借
自身能力不断发展壮大,这也为迪斯尼乐
园在中国大陆的初次登场增添了不小的紧
迫感。
中国的华侨城集团位列榜单第四

位,共吸引2.8亿人次入园。此外,进
入榜单前十的中国企业还有长隆集团和宋
城集团,分别凭借1.86亿人次和1.45亿人
次位列第九和第十,相比2013年,增幅约
为60%和103%。长隆集团在珠海建立的
长隆海洋王国获得了商业和口碑的双赢,
也获得了业内权威奖项的肯定。这些集团
将2013年上榜的深圳华强文化科技集团和
海昌海洋公园控股有限公司挤出了榜单。
2014年度全球前十大主题乐园中,
迪斯尼集团独占9个席位。两家大陆主题乐
园位居前25位,香港迪斯尼乐园则位列第
15位。亚洲榜单中的13家主题乐园位于中
国,其中2家位于香港,分别是排名第4位
的海洋公园和排名第6位的香港迪斯尼乐
园。中国游客对周边国家旅游业的拉动力
也不容忽视。韩国乐天世界客流量的攀升
很大程度上便得益于中国大陆游客。
长隆海洋王国自去年开业仅11个月以
来,便已经位列亚洲榜单的第10位,并且
仍在不断扩大其酒店的容纳数量。该乐园
的成人票定价为350元,这一价格要远远高
于市场普遍认可的200元票价。艾肯国际
咨询公司AECOM指出,消费者如今普遍
愿意出更高价以换取更高质量的体验和服
务。迪斯尼也认可和指望这一消费心理。
于迪斯尼之变迪斯尼发展和商业模式研究学者、
任职于中佛罗里达大学商学院的经济学副
教授Mark Soskin认为,迪斯尼无疑将从
中国这一巨大而快速发展的市场中获利匪
浅,主要得益于迪斯尼在全球极高的认可
度和知名度。
反之亦然,上海迪斯尼乐园将为迪斯
尼公司提供一个推广其旗下知识产权的新
平台。根据官方公布的消息来看,上海迪
斯尼乐园中将有一块以“星球大战”为主
题的区域,尽管星球大战在中国的大众知
名度不及米老鼠或漫威英雄系列,但随着
乐园的开业,势必将有所改善。
而位于上海的迪斯尼乐园也将成为迪
斯尼深入了解中国消费者的契机,从而更
好地掌握中国大陆观众的喜好。然而,品
牌推广并不单单止步于乐园。
Markus Schuckert指出,中国游
客的心态常常以购物为主导,习惯购买在
旅途结束后返回家中时能够赠送亲友的礼
品。这种购买纪念品的倾向将会成为迪斯
尼进军中国市场的重要战略,正如日本东
京迪斯尼乐园一样。这也意味着无论游玩
与否,许多中国家庭中将会出现迪斯尼的
产品。
此外,Mark Soskin补充道,位于全
球各地的迪斯尼乐园也极有可能受益于新
开业的上海迪斯尼乐园。这其中的原因在
于,每家新开业的乐园都将与全球其他兄
弟乐园共同承担新项目和新景点的开发和
安装成本。
于中国之变对于中国而言,上海迪斯尼乐园的开
业,所带来的 直接的影响莫过于对本土
主题乐园产业的冲击。Markus Schuckert
表示,行业的后来者们,如长隆集团等在
内,如今的发展都已经更上一层楼,而迪
斯尼乐园所使用的设备和技术是行业内公
认的 高标准。这也能教育中国消费者,
了解何为真正优质的主题乐园。

Markus Schuckert认为,迪斯尼
乐园的开业将会影响整个行业。当中国消
费者体验到更好的主题乐园后,便会拥有
更明确的对主题乐园的判断力。他同时预
言,包括长隆、宋城、方特等较高层次的
主题乐园将会在与迪斯尼乐园的竞争中存
活,而对于较低层次、缺乏鲜明主题和高
质量的乐园,迪斯尼的出现势必会对其产
生动摇。
“或许我们将会看到主题乐园行业
的经济衰退,尤其是上海这一区域。”科
廷大学中国媒体学教授Donald Keane说
道。在他看来,对于中国诸多民族主义者
而言,并非人人都能欣赏迪斯尼这一进军
中国大陆的行为。
“米老鼠一向是资本主义、创造力、
甚至美国形象的强有力代表,未来也并不
会改变。迪斯尼代表着某一类典型的西方
企业。”Donald Keane补充道。
“市场的力量能够有助于企业和行业
的发展。当初许多人担心香港迪斯尼乐园的
封面故事
开业会对既有的海洋公园带来负面影响,但
事实证明,良性竞争反而能够同时令双方受
益。”Markus Schuckert如是说。
在Mark Soskin看来,文化问题至关
重要。尽管多年来,迪斯尼已经学会在不
同市场适当变通,无需过度妥协让步和稀
释自身的品牌声誉,但对于中国大陆的这
家新乐园,风险并非不存在。
他认为,在如今的社交媒体时代,即
使是再细微的失误,都有可能触发当地市
场的敏感点,从而引发网络上的大规模讨
论,将其升级为一个国际性的问题。而问
题一旦产生,则需要花费经年累月才有可
能消除。竞争对手,无论是主题乐园还是
旅游景区,也很可能放大其失误。不过通
常来说,周围与之共存的商业经济、甚至
整个地区经济由于其强大的财政刺激也会
选择保护和捍卫迪斯尼。
上海迪斯尼乐园的成功运营将会为
地方经济带来非凡利好。整个迪斯尼度假
区占地963英亩,从面积而言,上海迪斯
尼乐园将远超香港迪斯尼乐园。尽管在这
963英亩的占地面积中,迪斯尼乐园仅占
其中的43%,但就管理权限而言,迪斯尼
集团占据了其中的七成,其余的管理权则
由一家名为上海申迪集团的国企所拥有,
这也意味着当地政府与迪斯尼共进退。
香港迪斯尼乐园的开业成绩平平,甚
至引起了早期参观者的抱怨和投诉,认为
乐园仅是半成品。吸取这一失败的教训,
迪斯尼集团决定推迟上海迪斯尼乐园的开
幕。在2014年,上海迪斯尼乐园从中国农
业银行处获得了巨大的财政注资。
Donald Keane认为,迪斯尼进军中
国大陆的决策也可能进一步增强未来迪斯
尼和中国之间的共同合作,尤其在电影产
业方面。
“这类合作势必将会给电影市场带

2015年是继全球主题景点行业在全球
经济复苏之后,继续出现访客量持续
增长的一年。在主题公园中,欧洲已实现
逆转,具有3%的增长率;美国一直稳定增
长,略高于2%;亚洲仍然是领先者,但优
势不是十分显著,约5%。
从投资角度来看,全球主题景点行业
的所有相关商业活动仍将重点关注亚洲。
在景点方面,亚洲市场供给仍太少,但满
足主题娱乐所需收入门槛的中产阶级数量
却已经日益增多,从而为主题娱乐提供可
持续发展的重要支撑。
技术和知识产权随着美国经济衰退的结束,主题公
园产业已恢复到一个新常态,并表现出温
和、稳定的增长所代表的成熟市场的特
征。这个成熟市场的表现仍然体现出骄人
全球娱乐与主题公园研究
的成绩,并且蕴含着巨大的突破空间。在
近几年中, 引人注目的是环球影城的
哈利波特魔法世界,几年前它已突破经济
衰退状况,并为奥兰多重新带回游客。环
球影城现已扩大其在奥兰多公园的规模,
包括对角巷和霍格沃兹快车(2015年,获
得多项THEA奖),我们即将看到更多的
哈利波特景点。
哈利波特景点代表当代行业内两个
主 要 元 素 : 成 熟 技 术 应 用 和 知 识 产 权
(IP)。这是一项巨大投资,更令人印象
深刻的是其完成速度和极高整体质量,类
似这类景点必须具有超敏感的知识产权。
当今,我们的行业与知识产权所有者
进行合作,已上升至创造性协作和整体规
划的一个新水平。越早获得知识产权,并
将其从银幕转移至现实环境,那么就能越
早获得回报且回报越多。类似这类独特的
知识产权对设计及执行品质要求特别高。
全球娱乐与主题公园的增长趋势在全球排名前25位的主题公园中,
美国由去年共11个下降至今年共10个,
而亚洲市场规模不断扩大正使得该趋势更
明显,预计该趋势还将持续数年。虽然在
短期内许多行业知识不断往海外输出,以
支持其他市场新建公园的发展,但从长远
来看,这很可能导致美国进一步创新,例
如:将国际公园的成功思路实施在境内新
建公园上。
美国主题公园的增长主要集中在排名
前九位的公园,这得益于迪斯尼集团和环
球集团,去年这些公园的总游客人次上升
4.2%,而与去年同期相比,今年游客增加
410万人次,但因其余11个公园下降2.8%
而抵消该增长率,其余11个公园与去年

同期相比游客量减少110万人次。这项显
示说明具有全球品牌认可的主要运营商日
益增强的主导地位,他们有机会获得强大
的知识产品,增加住宿配套,并集中在奥
兰多及加利福尼亚州南部形成顶级旅游
市场。
纵观排名前10位的拉丁美洲主题公
园,与2013年相比,2014年排名前10位
的公园总游客人次增长5%。这甚至超过
前一年将近4%的增长率。同时我们也看
到前10名中的一些变动, 进入排
行榜。
与2013年同期相比,2014年内亚洲
市场前20位主题公园整体游客人次增长近
5%。其中,日本环球影城由于哈利波特魔
法世界的开放,能看出游客人次出现显著
增长。东京迪士尼度假区,由于其30周年
庆促销活动,因此2013年内游客人次非常
巨大,2014年维持同水平的游客量。珠海
开放的长隆海洋王国主题公园游客人次很
多,且好评如潮,并且获得了Thea杰出成
就奖。
事实上在 高游客人次全球排名前25
位主题公园排行榜中,亚洲占据了10个。
表明亚洲市场处于一个持续增长模式。在
景点投资和营销中继续实施创新的公园将
得到有效的回报,而其他停滞不前的公园
将在市场上逐渐丧失其吸引力。
亚洲大规模的主题公园越来越大,增
加和扩建以满足不断增长的游客市场。例
如,韩国乐天世界游客人次经历较大幅度
增长,这几乎完全得益于中国大陆游客到
访量的增加。
海洋公园和香港迪士尼正在为香港带
来更多的休闲旅游业绩增长,当上海迪士
尼度假区于2016年春季开放时,将会造成
另一轮旅游冲击,目前已经扩大计划中的
园区容量,并正在进行筹划,以确保一切
就绪。对于中国主题公园,对于中国的主
题公园,选择在节假日开园有着明显的市
场考量。
根据行业预测:2020年亚洲市场将
会赶超美洲,也有可能会比这个时间再早
一些。

行业的中国领军
三个亚洲集团:华侨城、长隆和宋
城现已进入全球排名前10位的
连锁主题公园排行榜。他们是如何实现
该业绩的?对于华侨城集团,主要通过
增加新公园和保持其现有公园的相对稳
定性。长隆集团通过长隆海洋王国的成
功开放而首次被推选进入到全球榜单。
宋城集团通过在一些城市中增加新文化
主题公园和表演场馆,现正处于积极扩
充趋势中。未来我们将从这三个集团看
到更多新景点;地域扩建是华侨城的模
式,另外长隆和宋城都有几个正在准备
中的新项目。中国方特欢乐世界集团和
海昌集团今年被挤出榜单,因为他们正
在扩大其投资和公园数量。
宋城和环球:再投资驱动增长通过市场需求基本面的增长,亚
洲主题公园迎来非常强劲的一年,尤其
在中国财富增长和旅游业增长的基础
上带动游客人次的增长。当然,另一
个推动力是再投资:保持高质量标准和
增加新景点,从而每年带来更多的游客
量。2014年扩建和再投资的亚洲项目特
别强劲,例如:日本环球影城的哈利波
特魔法世界尽管开业只有半年,但全年
游客人数已打破记录。
在中国,另一个案例是宋城集团增
加了一个4500座的新剧场以演出现场
历史剧,从而公园游客容量有效增加一
倍。新剧院设备齐全,从而保持了演出
的高产量。宋城主题公园本身主要靠旅
游驱动,并通过非常强大的旅游团销售
和面向成年人、退休人群和学生团体的
旅游项目进行推动。
长隆集团处于上升状态长隆海洋王国于2014年开放仅11
个月,且仍然在增加新景点,但现已在
亚洲前20名榜单中位居第10位。该公
园虽然临近澳门,但附近区域内并无其
他主题公园,海洋王国的建立使得一个
新区位立刻成为旅游目的地。长隆海洋
王国公园内配备了一家有1888间客房
的主题酒店,而后在一年内扩建总计约
有2700间客房的另外两家酒店。海洋王
国的成人门票价格为人民币350元,比
竞争市场价格200元(中国范围)高出
80%。这给该行业释放一个讯息,即人
们在该市场内为了追求质量而非常愿意
支付更高价格。这种显著提价的做法将
推动整个行业朝着更高质量发展。为了
保持增长,持续再投资不可缺少;公园
可以通过提价以支撑新景点的成本,创
造神奇且创新的游客体验,从而继续打
造令游客满意的市场。

专访
Culture, innovation, business and tourism … Mr. Alex Wong, the president of Space Asset Management Group, is always able to integrate them and bring forth new sparkles and ideas in various fi elds
Infi nite Wonders of China’s Theme Parks
As a prominent brand coun-
selor and experienced strat-
egist in China’s commercial
real estate industry, Mr. Alex Wong is
positively dedicated to the field’s fron-
tier with his original value marketing
and abundant creative thinking. From
the reconstruction of Shanghai No. 8
Bridge Industry Park to the establish-
ment of CIDC innovation base; from
the planning and operation of shop-
ping centers and business streets to
the promotion and extension of cul-
ture creativity and tourist industry,
Mr. Alex Wong unfailingly sticks to
city cultural development and creates
endless commercial wonders.
From the birth of “Splendid China”,
the first theme park in China, to today
with the opening of Shanghai Disney-
land in sight, theme parks in China are
undergoing rapid and multiple develop-
ments. Having been involved in various
theme park projects such as Chengdu
Overseas China Town, Changzhou Uni-
versal Dinosaur Town and Changzhou
Joyland, Mr. Alex Wong have fostered
unique perceptions of the development
trends of China’s theme parks.
“Viewing global theme park devel-
opment in recent years, the number of
tourists bound for hot Asian parks has
witnessed an obviously quicker growth
than those headed for North American
and European parks, and that is an ever-
increasing tendency,” Alex Wong said.
“Compared with North America,
where theme parks development has
reached a mature stage, Asia and par-
ticularly China, enjoys more potential
and is becoming a hot spot for parks
constructions with the participation of
massive domestic business groups and
real estate tycoons. If one wants to stand
out amongst the numerous fascinating
parks, it must feature unique design and
distinctive characters,” he added.
Mr. Alex Wong maintains that mod-
ern theme park is the synthesis and
blending of humanity and business.
An original design cannot be separat-
ed from proper site selection, accurate
positioning and planning, unique ideas,
cultural connotations, flexible mar-
keting strategy and in-depth product
development. Among them, what mat-
ters most is an accurate and reasonable
type positioning before the construction
of the park.
“Nowadays, theme parks are gen-
erally divided into travel experience-
oriented ones, focusing on recreations,
scenario simulations and sightseeing,
and function-oriented ones featuring
miniature landscapes, studios, activ-
ity participations, artistic perform-
ances and adventures. Proper position-
ing should only be decided upon after
a careful exploration of local market
demand and from the angle of city cul-
ture industry development.”
“In the Internet era, the future devel-
opment of China’s theme parks will
increasingly head towards intelligence
science and interactive experiences,
involve the idea of “Internet+”, real-
izing a trans-boundary integration by
combining AR, holographic imaging
and 4D technology under an original
theme to create situational recreation
facilities and give customers multiple
sensory experiences. Meanwhile, plan-
ners can use Internet technology to
develop various online and offline activ-
ities, analyze consumer groups through
detailed data and thus further improve
the operation and management of the
park.”
The “2014 Global Theme Park and
Museum Report” co-released by TEA/
AECOM shows that 10 Asian parks
are listed in the global TOP25 Theme
Parks, equal to that of the United States.
“In a few years, China’s theme park
will surely take half of the places in the
global TOP25,” said Alex Wong. “I will
continue to keep a watchful eye on its
development and try my best to pro-
mote the integration of theme parks
with culture, science, technology and
innovation from multiple angles.” (The

专访
China Economic Review | September 2015 31
互联网时代,中国主题公园无限精彩文化、创意、商业、旅游,思彼思集团总裁黄绍忠先生总能将它们结合,在不同领域迸发出全新的火花与思维产物
作为中国商业地产领域卓越的品牌顾
问与策略实战专家,黄绍忠先生以
独创的价值营销结合丰富的创意理念,活
跃在中国房地产行业的前沿领域。从创意
产业园上海八号桥的改造,到创意创新基
地CIDC的创建;从购物中心与商业街的策
划与运营,到文创、旅游产业的推动与推
广,始终立于城市文化发展的视角,演绎
着商业的无限精彩。
从中国第一家主题公园“锦绣中华”
的诞生,到如今上海迪士尼开业在即,主
题公园在中国的发展愈发迅速与多元。参
与过成都华侨城、常州环球恐龙城、常州
环球动漫嬉戏谷等众多主题公园项目的黄
先生,对于中国主题公园的发展趋势有着
独到的解读。
“按近几年主题公园在全球的增长来
看,亚洲热门主题公园整体游客人次增长
速度显然高于北美与欧洲,并处于持续增
长的良好态势。”黄绍忠先生说:“相较
于处于成熟阶段的北美,随着众多国内商
业集团与房产大佬涉足主题公园,亚洲,
乃至中国将成为大型主题公园的发展集中
地。若想在包罗万象的主题公园中突出重
围,主题公园便需要拥有独树一帜的设计
与特色。”
黄绍忠先生认为,现代主题公园是人
文与商业相结合的综合体,主题公园设计
的独具一格离不开恰当的选址、精准的定
位与设计、独特的创意与文化内涵、灵活
的营销策略与深度的产品开发。其中 重
要的是,在设计主题公园之前需要给予主
题公园准确合理的类型定位。
“如今主题公园可大致分为:以游
乐、情景模拟、观光为主导的旅游体验型
主题公园,以及拥有微缩景观、影视城、
活动参与、艺术表演、科幻探险等功能与
用途的主题公园,如何选择类型,则需要
在了解当地市场需求后,站在城市文化产
业发展的角度进行规划。”
常州环球恐龙城无疑是如今市场上较
为成功的主题公园之一。黄先生认为,环
球恐龙城的成功,与其集观光、游乐、休
闲、文化、商业与人居于一体的复合型态
密不可分。以“一镇、多园”为核心的常
州环球恐龙城历经十余年发展,完成了从
单一主题公园到复合型景区的转型升级,
将恐龙文化与文化演艺、温泉休闲、游憩
型商业及动漫创意合于一体,在打破传统
景区概念的基础上,把旅游休闲的功能分
散到每个角落,进而融合了文化、居住等
不同功能,共同组成一个配套完善、个性
鲜明的一站式恐龙主题度假地。2014全球
主题公园研究中,常州恐龙园以单园年接
待量370万,排名亚洲第13位。
同样,常州环球动漫嬉戏谷也在主
题打造上有着独到之处。动漫嬉戏谷捕捉
到动漫文化产业的无限潜力。“动漫、科
普、体验,都是主题公园发展的关键词,
怎样抓住‘主题’的核心,创造新型体
验,并以寓教于乐的方式推动文化与旅游
的发展,使主题公园超越娱乐层面,是越
来越多执行团队在思考的问题。”黄先
生道。
“在互联网时代的背景下,未来中国
主题公园的发展会越来越多地朝智慧科技
与互动体验迈进,将‘互联网+’思维贯穿
其间,实现多元跨界融合—在创新独特
的主题之下,利用AR、全息影像、4D等
技术,打造情景式娱乐设施,赋予游客多
重感官体验;同时,利用互联网技术,创
造线上线下多重互动;再配合大数据准确
分析消费人群,进一步提升主题公园的合
理化运营与管理。”
根 据 T E A / A E C O M 联 合 发 布 的
《2014全球主题公园和博物馆报告》
显示,2014年亚洲的主题公园在全球
TOP25中占据10席,在数量上与美国旗鼓
相当。“再过几年,全球TOP25中,中国
主题公园一定会占据半壁江山!而我将会
持续关注中国主题公园的发展,并从多元
主题的角度继续努力,推动主题公园与文
化、科技、创意的融合与发展。”(思彼

古迹。
如今,常州依托丰富优美的自然风景
及得天独厚的交通优势,大力发展着文化
旅游度假产业,其国家级旅游名片环球动
漫嬉戏谷、中华恐龙园如今均已成为国内
文化主题公园的典范。
文化 · 趣味,欢乐正当时随着对旅游市场的需求,各地主题
公园层出不穷,但同时也有一部分却已倒
闭、停业。中国的主题公园该如何发展俨
然已成为中国旅游业实现新高度所面临的
严峻问题。
“趣 · 玩”文化进行时
主题公园作为一种人造旅游资源,其
重要的特征即创意性,游客追求的不仅
有身体的感官体验,还要有心灵的精神体
验,独特的文化是吸引游客的核心内涵,
这必然要求主题公园也随之要有更丰富的
内容与层次感,要让游人常玩常新。
只有在追求独特创意下推陈出新,才
能建设出市场需要的游乐体验地。常州的
环球动漫嬉戏谷和中华恐龙园分别作为全
球首个网络游戏主题公园及世界恐龙文化
主题乐园,均以独到创新的娱乐方式、虚
拟与现实的完美对接,为每位造访者打造
了一个前所未有的梦幻互动娱乐空间。

高科技声光电、影视特效与多媒体网络等
完美结合,融展示、科普、娱乐、休闲及
参与性表演于一体的恐龙文化主题综合性
主题游乐园。园内的70余项游乐项目都围
绕着高科技与恐龙主题设置,分为主题游
乐、科技制作、小品观赏、生态表演、趣
味游戏等几大类,包括世界第三、国内首
台4D过山车“过山龙”,神秘险象丛生
的库克苏克大峡谷、粗犷的鲁布拉、经典
的穿越侏罗纪、原始的侏罗纪雨林,还有
在长三角都市圈这片中国河网密度 高、旅游资源丰富的地区里,山水景色自是钟灵毓秀,创意旅游产业的发展也是日渐繁盛。位于太湖之滨的江苏常州,便是其中 具代表之一。

Jurassic World: awe and redemption in a world of chaosThe hot new fi lm ‘Jurassic World’ brings the Mesozoic creature who dominated the global ecosystem for over 160 million years back into our sights again. Following deep study over many years, the huge and mysterious dinosaurs seem to be a special symbol of fear, blood and cruelty
‘Jurassic World’ is the sequel to
‘Jurassic Park’, and we return 22
years later when Isla Nublar has
been turned into a big theme park and
resort destination – Jurassic World.
Large numbers of visitors come based
on its amazing reputation, indulging
in the beautiful scenery and tranquil
atmosphere. The most attractive part is
to take a boat, car or transparent spin
and enjoy the many different types
of dinosaurs in the park. However,
beneath the outward calm and cheerful-
ness is a feeling of danger.
In the process of making dinosaurs,
InGen goes so far as to create a “mixed-
blood”. They combine DNA from dif-
ferent types of dinosaurs or even dif-
ferent species, resulting in the creation
of the dreaded D-Rex. Then, accidents
happen one after another on this peace-
ful island.
A Sincere Salute Like ‘Jurassic Park’ in 1993, there are
several emotional lines and thoughts
about the relationship between civiliza-

tion and Nature. Upon the showing
of ‘Jurassic World’, many audiences
commented that the film tends to stay
close to the classic ‘Jurassic Park’. And
it’s true, the large groups of gallim-
imus running on the wilderness, the
visit to the former site of Jurassic Park,
the reappearance of Tyrannosaurus Rex
after 22 years, and the familiar back-
ground music composed by John Wil-
liams all expose its attempt of pay trib-
ute to the classic old film.
Looking back on the production of
‘Jurassic Park’, we can see that Uni-
versal Pictures has taken great pains
getting the rights to adapt and film the
novel. It finally won after a harsh com-
petition with Warner Brothers, Tim
Burton, Sony Pictures, Richard Don-
nell, 20th Century Fox Film Corpora-
tion and Joe Dante. It paid 500,000
dollars to the original author Crichton
for script adaption and spent 65 mil-
lion dollars to publicize the film by
signing a contract with 100 companies
for the production and sales of 1,000
related products. All its efforts were
not futile, and the Universal Picture
made a huge amount of money from
the film. Besides its top ten box office
status, it also obtained several Oscars.
‘Jurassic World’ was once thought
to have to be suspended owing to the
death of Crichton, but it was not the
case. The two scriptwriters of ‘Rise of
the Planet of the Apes’ Rick Jaffa and
Amanda Silver took over the job while
Steven Spielberg was the producer.
Even though we have witnessed an
astounding advance in film technology
and a stunning development of special
effects over the intervening years, this
film which cost 150 million dollars still
stirs our optic nerves with its fascinating
and grand scenes.
A Whimsical Tall StoryThe author of ‘Jurassic Park’ Michael
Crichton died on 4 November, 2008.
This ‘father of the science fiction thrill-
er’ is famous in America but not so well
known in China. Still, the film adapted
from his noted novel ‘Jurassic Park’ is
popular among Chinese readers. The
author of this best seller with sales of
over 150 million was originally a Medi-
cal Doctor in Harvard University. He
went on to write several best sellers,
and also successfully played the roles
of scriptwriter, producer and director.
He even had his own software compa-
ny, Film Track. Although almost all his
novels have been adapted and filmed,
the most popular one is undoubtedly
‘Jurassic Park’.
‘Jurassic Park’ was not his first
novel to be put onto the screen. Pre-
viously, ‘The Andromeda Strain’ had
already gained a remarkable box office
success. On the contrary, it was the
‘Jurassic Park’ that didn’t win much
favor at the very beginning. Crichton
wrote in his notes: “In 1983, I wrote a
film script about a DNA cloning pte-
rosaur; however the story was not very
persuasive. Afterwards, I worked sev-
eral more years on this theme, trying
to make it convincible. Finally I decid-
ed to create a theme park scene from
the angle of a little boy who is just at
the spot of dinosaur escaping. After
finishing the story, I sent the book to
the people who always read my script.
Usually I could get five or six reply,
yet this time none gave a feedback. I
was very angry towards their reactions,
but they just said ‘why do you write
such a story?’ I asked them to explain
why they don’t like this story. They
couldn’t give a clear answer. Then I
wrote another version. They didn’t
like it either. Then another, the same
result. Finally, a reader told me the
truth – they hope that the story is writ-
ten from the angle of an adult instead
of a child. He said ‘I hope that this
story is written for me, namely from
the perspective of an adult.’ Then I
re-wrote an adult version, which at last
won every one’s heart.
Perhaps even Crichton himself
didn’t imagine that this story which was
rejected at first would become such a
big success in the end. Neither would
he ever imagine that an accidental

attempt at novel writing could finally
bring him such rewards.
Crichton was originally in the
department of literature when he
entered Harvard in 1960. Then he
changed his major to join in the anthro-
pology department. Afterwards, he
went on studying a master’s degree in
the medical department and achieved
Doctor of Medicine of Harvard in
1969. Solid science knowledge was a big
advantage for his novel writing. At that
time, the clone technology described in
‘Jurassic Park’ was thought to be just
imagination. However, it is just such
rich imagination and abundant science
knowledge that attracted so many read-
ers and film fans to deeply indulge in
the story lines and breathtaking scenes.
An Unexpected Dinosaur DisasterMichael Crichton is undoubtedly a big
fan of Chaos Theory.
Chaos Theory was proposed by
American meteorologist Edward Lorenz
in 1963. The theory tries to explain
or forecast phenomena like climate
change or social behavior that can’t be
described by linear or single mathemat-
ical formula with overall and continu-
ous data. Michael Crichton, who had
a background in archaeology, anthro-
pology, biology, neurology and medi-
cal science, wrote the novel in a period
when Chaos Theory was making a great
disturbance in science circles.
Reviewing the story line of ‘Jurassic
Park’ series, it gives the best explana-
tion of Chaos Theory: first, people dis-
covered a mosquito in amber and then
extracted the dinosaurs DNA from it.
Afterwards, Dr. John Hammond man-
aged to clone a real dinosaur with it
and thus established a dinosaur park
on Isla Nublar. However, genetic varia-
tions occurred in some dinosaurs while
the park was also damaged. Some peo-
ple tried to bring the dinosaurs off the
island, which resulted in an unprec-
edented catastrophe when many dino-
saurs escaped.
Who could ever expect that a lit-
tle mosquito thousands of years ago
could finally trigger such a disastrous
event just because it had accidently
absorbed some dinosaur’s blood? If we
just see these two events separately, no
one could ever imagine the final rela-
tionship. This is what Chaos Theory is
all about. Surely, a common novelist
could never introduce this theory so
thoroughly and easily. But to Michael
Crichton who has a science back-
ground, this becomes the best attrac-
tive point to his novel. If we read the
original edition of ‘Jurassic Park’, we
will discover that it is not divided by
“Chapter” but by “Iteration”. Under
the subtitle of each section there is a
fracture image of iteration process.
This unique form not only creatively
carries the story line forward but also
further reveals the novelist’s attempt
to publicize Chaos Theory. Due to the
existence of such a theory, the genetic
variation of dinosaurs is not so incom-
prehensible.
In ‘Jurassic World’, new genetic vari-
ations occur among the dinosaurs.
The genetically variant dinosaur in
the film -- D-Rex is an embodiment
of human’s arrogance and irreverence
towards Nature. D-Rex combines the
DNA of adult tyrannosaurus, velocirap-
tor, snake and inkfish. This new-born
super predator can disguise itself and
blend into the surrounding environ-
ment. It has the destructive impact of
the tyrannosaurus, the cloaking abil-
ity and cunning of the velociraptor. It
can even manipulate the velociraptor
to help itself through communication.
Therefore, many incredible scenes take
place: D-Rex begins planning to break
from the prison, thinking about its own
position in the biological chain. Besides,
the velociraptor which has formed a
relationship with the hero Irving begins
to understand emotions and learns to
communicate with humans.
It also unfolds the film’s intention to
discuss the relations between Man and
Nature, man and other creatures. View-
ing ‘Jurassic World’ from such an angle,

we can see that it actually tells a compli-
cated and tough story: at the beginning,
man appears as the maker, and regards
dinosaurs as their created thing. At last,
man admits that the dinosaur is a crea-
ture of high intelligence and independ-
ent consciousness. This is a big change
in recognition and emotion.
Awe to NatureThe wide popularity of ‘Jurassic Park’
series is itself a revelation of Chaos the-
ory. In spite of the fact that the novel
had already been a best seller in Amer-
ica, were it not for Universal Pictures
and Steven Spielberg putting it onto the
screen, neither Michael nor ‘Jurassic
Park’ would have achieved such fame
and impact worldwide.
In June, 1993, ‘Jurassic Park’ made
a stir, with over US$900 million in box
office globally, a record which stood
until ‘Titanic’ five years later.
In the film, Chaos theory is weak-
ened. Audiences are more willing to
indulge in the vivid dinosaur world
and exciting visual impact rather than
thinking about the Chaos theory
of nonlinear kinetics.
Even the word Chaos itself is translat-
ed into a very superficial meaning. But
audiences’ hearts still flutter with the
development of the story lines – they
are shocked, curious and delighted on
first seeing the dinosaurs. They are cast
into great fear when catastrophe strikes.
Big rejoicing comes upon the hero’s
narrow escape from death. After experi-
encing all the ups and downs of the film
characters, audiences begin to ponder
and reflect: should humans intervene in
nature, violate the evolutionary process
and the rules of nature depending on
their advanced science and technology?
Is it right to cause such an out-of-con-
trol situation and a big disaster?
Although is has been discussed in
previous science fiction films such as
the ‘Alien’ series, abuse of bioengineer-
ing technology can bring great harm
to mankind is handled by the ‘Jurassic
Park’ series in an obviously more
attractive and creative way. In ‘Jurassic
World’, we can still see a group of peo-
ple who are so complacent after master-
ing some highly advanced science and
technology. They even lose their fear
towards nature and violate ecological
law just for their own interests. It’s not
hard to imagine the results they will
cause.
But unlike previous films, ‘Jurassic
World’ presents another group of per-
sons. They treat dinosaurs equally.
Knowing their violent characteristics,
they also believe that dinosaurs have
emotions and wisdom too. So we see
people like Irving who get along well
with the velociraptor and communi-
cate with it using eye expressions and
limb movements. Finally velociraptor
and tyrannosaurus work together and
defeat D-Rex, saving Irving at the criti-
cal moment. This incredible and warm
scene makes the narrow escape more
precious.
‘Jurassic World’, the epitome of the
genre, not only features spectacular
scenes and vivid special effects, but also
reveals a down-to-earth attitude and
awe to Nature. Take Irving for instance.
He is not like the scientists who live in
the laboratory. He gets in touch with
dinosaurs in person to study the crea-
tures. It seems like anti-intellectual
behavior, but it is in fact a more open-
minded scientific spirit of practical sig-
nificance. We could say that if humans
want to further their understanding of
nature, they need more earnest scientific
researchers like Irving who believe that
truth can be only told by practice, rather
than the idealists who stayed in their
laboratory, dealing with numbers. (The

以断言普通的小说家绝对无法深入简
出地介绍混沌理论,但这对于搞科学出身
的迈克尔 • 克莱顿来说,恰好是他小说的
佳卖点与吸引点!如果翻看《侏罗纪公
园》英文小说原版,会发现它的每一章并
不叫“Chapter”,而是叫“Iteration”
(迭代),每章标题下都是一幅迭代进程
的分形生成图。这种形式不但很有新意地
推进了小说的情节,也进一步表明了作者
宣传混沌理论的意图。正是存在着这样的
混沌理论,所以恐龙的变异便不再那么难
以理解。
在《侏罗纪世界》里,恐龙又产生了
新的变异。
影片中的变异恐龙—D-Rex(暴虐
龙),可以说是人类对大自然傲慢和不敬
的化身。它结合了成年霸王龙、迅猛龙、
蛇和乌贼的DNA,这种新生的超级掠食者
能与周围的环境伪装成一体,它有霸王龙
的破坏性力量,同时也有迅猛龙的匿踪能
力和狡诈,甚至还能够通过交流操纵迅猛
龙帮助自己。于是,我们看到了众多的不
可思议:暴虐龙开始懂得谋策越狱,开始
思考自己在生物链的所处位置,还有与男
主角欧文打成一片的迅猛龙,甚至开始了
解情感、学习与人沟通。
这也是影片对于人与自然、与生物共
处关系的探讨。从这样的角度来看《侏罗
纪世界》,影片实际上讲述了一段复杂而
艰苦的历程:人类以造物者的身份,从把
恐龙视为“物”,到承认恐龙是拥有自主
意识的高智商生命,是认知的跨越,也是
情感的跨越。
面对自然生态的敬畏之心《侏罗纪公园》声名大噪这个事实本
身却也十分耐人寻味地与混沌理论暗合。
虽然小说已然在美畅销,但若不是环球影
业(Universal Picture)和史蒂文 • 斯皮尔
伯格(Steven Allan Spielberg)将它搬上
荧幕拍成电影,恐怕无论迈克尔还是《侏
罗纪公园》都无法在全球范围内也获得如
此高的影响力和知名度。
1993年6月《侏罗纪公园》一经上映
就取得轰动效果,全球票房竟超过了9亿美
元,这一纪录直到5年后《泰坦尼克》的出
现才被打破!
在电影里,“混沌理论”的色彩被
淡化了,观众更多的沉浸在恍若真实的恐
龙世界和刺激的视觉冲击中而无法领悟
到更多的非线性动力学混沌“教训”,甚
至“chaos”也被译成“混乱”。但是观
众却能随着剧情的推演—从看到逼真恐
龙的震撼、好奇、欣喜,到面对灾难发生
时的惊惧,以及 后死里逃生时的庆幸。
观影者在与剧中人物一起经历这跌宕起伏
的整个过程后,开始反思,深省:人类在
科技高度发达后,到底应不应该干预自
然,违背进化过程,违反自然规律, 终
导致局面失控、引发灾难。
虽 然 此 前 的 科 幻 电 影 《 异 形 》
(Alien)系列中已有端倪,但显然《侏
罗纪公园》的故事和场景更为别出心裁,
更能警示人们滥用生物工程技术的危害。
在《侏罗纪世界》里,我们依然会看到这
样的一些人:在掌握高度发达的科学技术
后,他们难免沾沾自喜,甚至会放弃对大
自然造物主应有的敬畏之心,为满足自我
的探索与利益而违反生态法则。后果自然
可想而知。
而不同于以往的影片,在《侏罗纪
世界》里,我们还看到了这样的一些人:
他们将恐龙当做平等的生物来对待,接受
它们的凶猛本性的同时,也相信它们的情
感与智慧。于是,我们看到欧文与迅猛龙
平安无事的相处与眼神肢体的交流,还看
到 终迅猛龙与霸王龙合力击倒暴虐龙,
救助他于生死关头。这样看似不可思议的
剧情设置,无疑让这场劫后余生更显弥足
珍贵。
《侏罗纪世界》这部集大成的怀旧力
作,除了强大而震撼的场面、逼真而宏大
的特效,务实态度与对自然的敬畏,也是
影片 集中的体现。正如影片中的欧文,
他不同于实验室里的科学家,而是以与恐
龙的实际接触来了解这一物种,这看似是
一种反智倾向,其实是更开明更富现实意
义的科学精神。或者说,人类要增进对自
然的了解,需要欧文这样与迅猛龙亲密接
触,以实践出真知的实地科研者,而不是
在实验室与数字打交道的空想主义。(思

增加投资,而且在欧洲大片置地:在抛售
内地物业后,回笼资金可能将用于脱亚入

此外,万达、万科、碧桂园、绿地等
都在海外扩充土储。万达在今年上半年,

The survey, polling 11,000 shoppers in
11 major markets, was conducted to
identify current and future shopping

As the survey indicates, China is the
most rapidly growing market for online
shopping. Mobile shopping and social

force for the retail sector.
Focusing on the e-commerce sector,
the survey reveals that online shopping
is growing at a fast rate as the most pop-

markets. Consumers aged 18-24—
known as ‘Generation Z’—are also set
to play an influential role in the regional

Mobile shopping and social media
are becoming increasingly prevalent
in China. Over 45% of consumers in
China are purchasing via smartphones,
a figure well above the regional average
of 28%. The survey findings suggest
that social networking activity has a sig-

Despite shopping online quite often,
consumers in China (average US$26-50
on monthly basis) spend less compared
to many other markets (average US$51-
100 on monthly basis) such as South
Korea£¨Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan,
Singapore, India and Australia in the
region. This could indicate that con-
sumers in China still prefer to purchase
big-ticket items in bricks-and-mortar
stores because of authenticity issues
sometimes associated with the online
marketplace.
“Driven by rapid growth in e-com-
merce in China, retail landscape is
changing significantly. Landlords and
retailers need to be more digital-sav-
vy, keeping pace with the latest trends
in smartphone applications and social
media so they can build a stronger
relationship with consumers especially
those from Generation Z. These digital
platforms are two essential mediums
of online retailing, which should be
integrated into retailers’ omni-channel
strategies in order to capture Online-to-
Offline (O2O) business opportunities,”
comments Ivan Poon, President, CBRE
China.
Online Shopping Habits in Asia Pacifi c:Whilst 50% of Asia Pacific consumers
still physically visit a shop to make a
purchase, findings show that in emerg-
ing markets such as China and India,
the majority of respondents—76%
and 68% respectively—utilize online
shopping as their most commonly used
method of making purchases. This is
also the case in more developed markets
of South Korea and Taiwan where 73%
and 55% of consumers respectively, also
said their primary method of making
purchases is online.
Along with convenience, pricing
ranks as one of the top reasons why
consumers shop online—63% of the
total number of respondents surveyed
identified this as their key deciding
factor. These correspond to the same
deciding factors when shopping at
physical stores.
The ability to compare products
without having to physically visit indi-
vidual stores is another key factor for
the region’s consumers when shopping
online. This trend is more prominent
in emerging markets such as Vietnam
(64%), China (61%) and India (58%)
where quality shopping centers or shops
are often located far from each other.
Generation Z: Shaping Market Dynamics for RetailerGeneration Z is expected to have signif-
icant influence over the retail market in
the coming years as their income levels
are set to increase rapidly upon joining
the job market.
“Having spent most of their lives
using the internet and other related
technology, Generation Z’s demo-
graphic of consumers has distinct
shopping behaviors in comparison
to other demographic segments. Key
aspects of their online shopping habits
include stronger trust in online infor-
mation; more activity on social media;
and needing a sense of differentiation.
These factors demonstrate the increas-
ingly important role of technology in
shaping the decision-making process
of consumers,” comments Frank Chen,
Executive Director and Head of CBRE
Research, China.
In order to remain competitive in
the digital age, retailers and landlords
need to be proactive in reaching out
and engaging with their consumers.
Mobile shopping is most prevalent in
emerging markets, and in many places,
smartphones are the first—and some-
times only—point of internet access
for many consumers, therefore, are
playing a key role in driving the growth
of online retail. Smartphone apps and
social media platforms based on con-
sumers’ shopping history, location and
preferences can help personalize their
shopping experience.
With around 70% of consumers
in Asia Pacific collecting their online
orders in-store—and 90% of them pur-
chasing additional items when picking
up their online order—click-and-col-
lect services are also an effective way to
drive in-store sales, creating a synergy
between both online and offline plat-
forms. Landlords should thus collabo-
rate with tenants to help merge their
online and offline offering by providing
the necessary facilities and regular reno-
vations.

Land Use Rights Reduced to 20 Years
China has piloted regulations to limit the period of granted land use rights in some areas: the new regulation in Shanghai, namely

Although it is too early to say how this will be implemented in practice, in relation to construction projects, it may accelerate the trend towards build-to-lease investments rather than the more conventional build-to-own.
Build-to-lease arrangements limit investors’ initial capital exposure and provide for a less painful exit route, but at the expense both of longer term operating costs and greater development complexity.
Build-to-own requires a large initial capital investment, and allows the investor full control of the development, however the change in land use rights duration could well
The changing regulations present further challenges to investors while considering their optimum investment model and highlights the need for business planning and investment option analysis at a very early stage to make
investment or risk assessment decisions for both foreign and domestics investors or developers.

Heating, cooling and hot water
products maker Vaillant, one
of the world’s largest produc-
ers of consumer home heating units,
has decided to move its China head-
quarters from Beijing to Shanghai to
prepare for what expects to be a surge
in sales in the coming years that will
make China the company’s single big-
gest market worldwide.
In China, one in every 4 families
that set up gas wall-hung boilers uses
Vaillant. While Vaillat’s primary manu-
facturing facility globally is located in
Wuxi, to the west of Shanghai.
“We have seen double digital growth
every year for the past ten years, and
while the first half of this year has seen
a slow-down, we see continuing growth
in this market, a return to high levels
of sales, especially in the main south-
ern cities,” Vaillant’s Klaus Jesse, who
in charge of International Sales for the
company, said in an interview.
“We originally located our head-
quarters in Beijing on the expectation
that north China would generate the
bulk of sales, but we are seeing more
growth in the major cities of southern
China. So it makes more sense to have
our management team in Shanghai and
closer to production and to the main
market,” he added.
Vaillant, which is based in Remsc-
heid in Germany, is a private family-
owned business, but Jesse said it cur-
rently has global annual sales of around
€2.33 billion and Europe is currently
its biggest market.
“But the rate of growth of sales in
much higher here compared to Europe,
and that plus the size of the market
mean that inevitably China will be our
single biggest market before too long,”
he said.
Vaillant, founded in 1874 and now
operating in over 60 countries around
the globe, has for years stressed the
environmentally-friendly and energy-
saving advantages of its products.
“We have been operating in Asia
since the 1950s and in fact had a sig-
nificant business in Hong Kong in that
era,” Jesse said. “But then our focus
changed and our growth over the past
few decades has been primarily in
Europe, including Eastern Europe. Our
business in China really started to build
about 10 years ago, and has been very
strong.”
The key to the expansion of Vail-
lant’s business in the past decade has
been twofold - the explosion of middle-
class apartment housing and the expan-
sion of the natural gas network to large
areas of China.
“The residential market in China is
very important for us and there is big
potential for further growth in the years
ahead,” Jesse said, adding: “We don’t
like markets that are susceptible to bub-
bles, we don’t like sudden ramp ups of
demand. We rather like steady growth,
and we see overall that the growth of
the middle class in China will allow for

the steady growth of our business in the
coming years. China will become our
biggest single market.”
Vaillant, he said, viewed the China
mainland market for in its products as
being around 1.6 million units per year.
“This is a big market and there is
room for many players. But technology
and German branding are of great help
in terms of our building business here
in China.”
He said the company sees some
Chinese players in the market offering
products which are to one extent or
another copies of Vaillant products, but
doesn’t worry about it too much, with
quality and safety being key considera-
tions of buyers. “They are not operating
in the same area as we are,” he said.
The expansion of natural gas lines to
virtually all of China’s major cities has
also been a boon for Vaillant in the past
decade.
“Our heaters are mostly powered by
natural gas and so basically we have
followed the gas lines,” Jesse said. “At
this point, just about every major city
in China has natural gas, and it is now
moving into second and third-tier cit-
ies, which of course are themselves as
big as major cities in Europe. So we see
major potential for the growth of this
business in the years ahead.”
He said the key differential between
Vaillant’s home market of Germany
and the China market was momentum.
“The main difference is just speed,
the speed with which change occurs, the
speed with which things happen in this
market,” Jesse said. “Germany is much
more settled with regards to technology,
while China has a great willingness to
accept new technologies. We are see-
ing a growing market not only in terms
the fitting of boilers and heaters into
new residences but also in the refitting
of older residences. When people want
to upgrade their living environment it
is often heating that they will think of
first.”
Jesse said Vaillant’s technology had
a significant contribution to make to
solve the smog and pollution problem
affecting China’s cities.
“The state of the environment is
obviously a significant problem, the
smog in the cities, and the use of natu-
ral gas heaters for home heating is a
very important part of the solution,” he
said. “I remember driving through East
Germany in the days soon after reunifi-
cation, and the dominant smell was the
smell of the brown coal being burned to
heat houses. Now, if you drive through
eastern Germany, that smell has gone.
Everyone has converted to natural gas
heaters. In China, for instance in Bei-
jing, the smog is bad and home heating
is the primary cause of that. Of course,
there is also the vehicle emissions which
is another issue to be resolved. But the
political decision to shift home heat-
ing over to natural gas will
have significant and positive
impact on the smog in Chi-
na’s cities.”
A major trend these
days in all consumer
home products is con-
nectivity and Vaillant
is on the trend. “Like
other companies we
now offer the capa-
bility to control our
devices remotely. In
the past, control of
heaters was largely
based on timers, but
increasingly it is the use by smartphones
to turn on heaters maybe half an hour
before you get home.”
The Vaillant Group operates under
eight different brands in different parts
of the world, with its core business
being the development, production and
sale of energy-saving and environmen-
tally-friendly products for heat gener-
ation on the basis of natural gas and
other renewable energy sources. In the
wall-hung boiler segment, the Vaillant
Group is the global market leader.
Vaillant has manufacturing facilities
and R&D centers in 13 plants located in
seven European countries and China,
its facility in Wuxi is the only one out of
Europe. an

ECONOMY
As China and India have
replaced Mexico over the
last two years as the largest
sources of recent U.S. immigrants, and
immigration from other Asian coun-
tries has increased as well, the impor-
tance of understanding the Asian-
American consumer has never been
more critical to marketers across all
industries. Furthermore, their status as
early adopters with outsized influence
on the American mainstream should
challenge companies to attune them-
selves to Asian-American consumers,
even if they have not done so in the
past.
Builds on recent Nielsen’s market
research, The Asian-American Con-
sumer 2015 Report has explored why
companies should consider multicul-
tural consumers as a cornerstone of
today’s successful marketing strate-
gies. The report provides a pragmatic
analysis of the fastest growing, most
culturally diverse, and most affluent
of the multicultural segments, Asian-
Americans.
It offers a roadmap to the demo-
graphics and buying power of Asian-
American consumers who share many
common cultural traits, but who clus-
ter in specific metro areas and states
with different countries of origin.
Marketers and advertisers who seek to
understand and activate strategies that
best serve the Asian-American con-
sumer should find this report valu-
able as they seek to increase share and
thrive in an increasingly multicultural
mainstream.

ECONOMY
rich tapestry of more than 40 differ-
ent homelands, and with economic
influence far greater than its burgeon-
ing U.S. population statistics would
suggest, the Asian-American consum-
ers are confidently making a power-
ful impact on today’s new American
mainstream. Currently at 19.4 million
strong, the Asian-American population
grew 46% from 2002 to 2014, mak-
ing it the fastest-growing multicultural
segment in the U.S., and is expected
to grow 150% between now and 2050.
China and India have now replaced
Mexico as the largest source of recent
immigrants to the United States.
Asian-American buying power was
$770 billion and is expected to increase
to $1 trillion by 2018. The 180% gain
from 200 through 2014 nearly triples
the increase in buying power projected
for non-Hispanic whites (69%) over
the same period.
The life expectancy of Asian-Amer-
icans (87.3 years) is the highest of
any multicultural segment in the U.S.
and higher than that of non-Hispan-
ic whites (78.7). This statistic, com-
pounded by a lower median age for
Asian-Americans (35) than for non-
Hispanic whites (42), results in sub-
stantially greater effective years of buy-
ing power for Asian-Americans (52.3)
than for non-Hispanic whites (36.7).
When planning long-term marketing
strategies, this additional 16 years of
buying power should be a true advan-
tage if loyalty can be established at an
early age.

It is more concentrated in certain
areas of spend such as housing, educa-
tion, transportation, and food spending,
than all other groups. The three catego-
ries where Asian-Americans outspend
total consumers by the highest percent-
age are personal insurance, apparel,
and housing. Higher personal insur-
ance spending is likely attributed to a
strong desire to protect assets and fam-
ily while higher apparel spending aligns
with a strong loyalty to brand names
further detailed in this report. Higher
housing expenditures may be driven
by the need for more space given the
larger household size of Asian-Ameri-
can households compared to the gen-
eral population (3.1 vs. 2.7) and by the
clustering of many Asian-Americans in
metro areas where housing prices may
command a higher cost.
The journey from inner to outer well being:A fresh perspective on foodAsian cultural traditions permeate
every aspect of Asian-Americans’ lives,
beginning with a person’s mental and
spiritual balance, to one’s sense of per-
sonal health and beauty, and further
extending outward to immediate fami-

to the holistic dimension of Asian tra-
ditions are likely to develop a deeper,
more meaningful relationship with
both traditional Asian consumers and
Asian-American consumers, who want
products and services that reflect and
complement dual lifestyles that engage
with both their native culture and the
American mainstream.
By contrast, 23% Asian-Americans
are more likely to evaluate the nutrition
on menu items. 31% are more likely to
eat organic foods and 22% are less likely
to allow junk food in the home.
Home is the heart of consumptionAsian-Americans households spend
more than their average share on many
grocery categories. The highest-index-
ing categories are Asian noodles, dried
vegetables and grains and meal start-
ers, which can be used to supplement
fresh ingredients for a quickly make
home-cooked meal. Other over-index-
ing categories associated with cooking-
from-scratch ingredients include fresh
produce, dried fruit, eggs and short-
ening/oils. Not only are healthy food
items popular among Asian-Ameri-
cans, but they spend more than their
average share on kitchen appliances
and gadgets used for cooking, as well
as on wine, suggesting a high propen-
sity to prepare and entertain their fam-
ily and friends. With higher birth rates
than average U.S. households, Asian-
American households spend more on
disposable diapers and baby food, as
well as on photographic supplies and
school supplies needed for growing
families.
The ties that bind are multigenerationalMultigenerational living, with grand-
parents, parents and children living in
one household, is very often a strategy
used to employ economies of scale in
coping with the challenges of moving
to a new country. Nearly three-in-10
Asian-Americans (28%) live in a mul-
tigenerational household, compared
with just 15% of non-Hispanic whites.
This high-percentage of adult immi-
grants within the Asian-American
population, coupled with the fact that
Asian-American children are highly
likely (85%) to live in a household
with married parents and remain in
that household until married them-
selves. Therefore, the food-shopping
list of an Asian-American multigen-
erational family can be extremely
diverse, as age, health, and dietary
habits need to be considered for three
generations.
Asian-American consumers make
roughly the same number of trips to
grocery stores as the general popula-
tion, but they spend a smaller percent-
age of their total dollars in them. In

fact, a greater share of Asian-Amer-
icans shop at warehouse clubs (11%)
than the general population (5%), and
they spend a significantly higher per-
centage there, too (23%, as opposed
to 11%). Drugstores also get a higher
share of Asian-Americans’ outlet occa-
sions and dollar volume.
Beauty is more than skin deepMany Asian-American women believe
that if they are healthy on the inside,
they will be beautiful on the outside.
In fact, Asian-Americans spend 70%
more than their average share on skin-
care preparation products, 25% more
on fragrances, 15% more on hair care,
12% more on personal soap and bath,
and 7% more on cosmetic. Person-
al care is important for maintaining
health on the inside, as Asian-Ameri-
cans spend 22% more on oral hygiene,
28% more on sanitary protection, and
6% more on vitamins.
A preference for plastic over paperAsian-American consumers are strong
users of all financial instruments com-
pared with the general population and
all other multicultural groups. They
particularly stand out in the use of
credit cards, with 88% of Asian-Amer-
icans owning a credit card, versus only
66% for the general population. That
said, while Asian-American consumers
own many financial instruments, they
are less likely than other consumers to
say they used debit cards and checks
over the past 30 days. A preference for
credit cards may possibly be due to
the rewards and benefits derived from
their use. Asian-Americans’ participa-
tion in credit card rewards programs
far outpaces that of the general popu-
lation, particularly in miles-rewards
programs, for which Asian-Americans
outpace the general population by a
ratio of more than two to one.
Asian-Americans make more travel
purchases on an annual basis than the
total population. 82% of Asian-Amer-
icans use a credit card to pay for these
flights, which is 11% higher than for
the general population. Retail shop-
ping behaviors also reflect the propen-
sity among Asian-American consum-
ers to use credit cards. Even when din-
ing at fast-food or quick-serve restau-
rants, where it is common to pay with
cash, Asian-Americans’ most frequent
payment method is the credit card.

美国市场看涨亚裔消费者潜力文章及图表来源:尼尔森市场研究
过去的30多年里,随着越来越多的中
国家庭移民美国,以及使用各类方
法令子女获得美国国籍后,亚裔美国人已
不再是少数群体,他们逐渐在美国形成独
特的风景线;从人口数量、消费特征、购
买力、数字互联网偏好等各维度,呈现出
与传统美国人不一样的特征,东方文化的
传承也为这个群体注入“东方特色”,让
一切变得有趣而珍贵。
东西方文化交融和消费市场的相互渗
透,印证了早已被提出的全球化进程的论
调。而融入不同市场的外来人口,对于本
地市场的影响和冲击,以及反应出的源文
化的差异和变化趋势,都是消费者研究里
非常有趣的纽带。
尼尔森 新发布的《2015亚裔美国
消费者报告》,从亚裔美国消费者的消费
现状、对高科技数字世界的偏好、以及未
来人数与购买力增长等数个角度,为读者
呈现了这类典型而生动的双文化融合的消
费者形象。
亚裔消费者关键词:“家庭中心”、
“精明”、“偏好数字技术和社交”、
“文化传承”、“从自我到社交化的个体
转变”、“双重文化”。
压倒性人数增长长寿也被揣摩为“有效购买力”
虽然美国是全世界 大的民族交融国
家,40多个国家与区域的移民为这个国土
贡献着多元的文化融合;但亚裔美国人于
2002年-2014年间增长了46%,可预见
的是从现在到2050年人数增长速度将高达
150%。其中,中国和印度是亚裔美国人
重要的2个群体组成。2014年亚裔美国
人的购买消费为7700亿美元,而预计在
2018年会增长为1万亿。其购买力实质上
从2000年-2014年间增长了180%,相比
之下,非西班牙裔白人的消费力增长仅为
69%。
亚裔美国人87.3岁的平均寿命,是
区隔于其它美国人的又一重要特征(非西
班牙裔白人的平均寿命仅为78.7岁),剔
除掉无效购买年份,亚裔美国人的平均有
效购买年数(52.3年)比非西班牙裔白人
(36.7年)长16年之多。品牌若能在这个
人群构建有效忠诚度,无论从短期还是长
期都将是带来高回报的增长点。
他们在美国也热衷买房再看亚裔美国人的消费分布,与本土
美国居民有着显著区别。通常而言,他们

东方文化影响着亚裔消费者生活的方
方面面,从精神的诉求,到个人健康与美
容、家庭、熟人、城市以及社交的外在需
求。品牌如果能全方面融合亚洲传统与美
国主流,让亚裔美国消费者能够感受到产
品和服务带来的双重文化的满足,则更能
与他们建立起深厚而有意义的关联。

蛋等也备受欢迎。除了健康食物外,厨房
家电、红酒的花销也高于平均水平,他们
更愿意在家里与家人和朋友娱乐;而一次
性尿片和婴儿食品以及相机设备和学校用
品同样受欢迎。
三世同堂的家庭环境相比本土美国人,亚裔美国消费者更
可能生长于三世同堂的环境中,祖辈、父
辈和孩子们同在屋檐下的比例高达28%,
而非西班牙裔白人的这种比例仅为15%。
85%的亚裔美国人的孩子与他们的父母居
住在一起,有的甚至在自己结婚后还维持
这种现状。因而,他们的食品清单更加丰
富,以满足不同年龄、健康状况和饮食习
惯的需求。
尽管在日常杂货店购物的比例与整体

增值的意愿,在鞋服上对品牌更推崇,忠
诚度更高,住房上因更多家庭人口和临近

The next global gathering of
the elite of men’s golf will be
the final World Golf Cham-
pionships (WGC) of the season – the
HSBC Champions. This year marks
the 11th staging of the tournament
known as ‘Asia’s Major,’ after a decade
of unprecedented golf development in
China. As the fourth and final WGC
event of the season, the HSBC Cham-
pions is a key component of both the
European Tour’s final series and the
start of the US PGA Tour 2016 season.
The success of the WGC-HSBC
Champions is very much down to the
whole-hearted support of the tourna-
ment by the world’s best golfers. This
year’s WGC-HSBC Champions has
coincided with what many consider to
be a changing of the guard in the world
game. Seemingly some of the more
familiar faces are now making way for
the next generation, with the crop of
younger golfers tasting success in both
the Majors and the World Golf Cham-
pionships.
No one embodies that theory
more than the popular young Amer-
ican, Rickie Fowler. The 26-year old
explained, “The game is now in a great
position with the amount of young
players that are playing well with Rory
McIlroy being the prime leader of that
group along with Jordan Spieth and
Patrick Reed. Players like Tiger Woods,
Phil Mickleson and Ernie Els have done
a great job of paving the way and giving
us the opportunity to play around the
world and have an impact.”

Rickie Fowler is just one of the many
players who have enjoyed competing at
the Sheshan International Golf Club.
Fowler added, “The WGC-HSBC
Champions is definitely one of the
strongest fields we play throughout
the year, it’s a great event that typically
yields a strong champion at the end of
the week. I am excited to go back and
tee it up against the world best players.”
2013 U.S Open winner Justin Rose
is also an admirer of the only WGC
event outside the US. With the HSBC
Champions elevated to a World Golf
Championships event in 2009, the Eng-
lishman thinks it has truly established
its position in the golf calendar and that
the tournament undoubtedly enjoys the
respect it deserves.
In a country where hosting top class
golf tournaments is still a relatively
recent thing, the fan’s delight is clear
when the world’s top names come to
town.
Rose explained, “It is such a growing
game in Asia and especially in China,
where there seems to be a lot of excite-
ment amongst the fans. They want to
make the most out of their experience
and try to capture as many memories
and moments as they can.”
2012 winner Ian Poulter and Chi-
na’s Liang Wen-chong are the only two
players to have played in every HSBC
Champions since the inaugural edition
in 2005. They have both witnessed the
growth of golf in China for the past
decade and felt the impact of the HSBC
Champions.
“In the past ten years, HSBC has
done an impressive job of bringing the
best players from around the world to
compete in China, which has definitely
helped the growth of golf in the coun-
try. Their continued support is going to
help the youngsters in China to become
bigger and better,” said Poulter, the
former HSBC Champions winner.
Liang also believes that there has
been advanced development of the
game in the country since golf started to
attract attention in China three decades
ago, he commented:
“There were really limited tourna-
ments, not to mention international
ones. Golf has taken off recently, thanks
especially to the HSBC Champions. The
past decade has witness a continuous
growth of the HSBC Champions event,
with an increasing amount of world
class players coming and youngsters
participating from China. This event
exerts an edifying influence on both
golf players and fans, which greatly pro-
motes the national golf development.”
Since its inception, the WGC-HSBC
Champions has established itself as a
premium event in global golf, Asia’s
Major and more. This year promises
another great celebration of the growth
of golf in this part of the world as the
best players in the game tee it up in
Shanghai at the Sheshan International
Golf Club on 5-8 November.

世锦赛—汇丰冠军赛迎来新曙全球男子高尔夫精英选手将于11月齐
聚上海,竞逐年度 后一场世界高
尔夫锦标赛—汇丰冠军赛。这项赛事将
于今年迈入第十一个年头,过去十年汇丰
冠军赛被誉为“亚洲的大满贯”,见证了
中国高尔夫运动的空前发展。作为年度第
四场也是 后一场世锦赛,汇丰冠军赛既
是欧巡赛收官系列赛中的关键一站,同时
也标志着美巡赛2016赛季的开始。
世界优秀球员的全力支持是世锦赛-
汇丰冠军赛不断取得成功的要素。业界普
遍认为今年是全球高尔夫球届新老接替的
时刻,汇丰冠军赛的举行适逢交接之际。
一些观众熟悉的面孔正让位于年轻的选
手,新生代球星在大满贯赛事和世锦赛赛
事中屡获殊荣。
里奇-福勒无疑是这一理论的 佳体
现,这位年仅26岁美国选手表示:“大量
优秀年轻球员的涌现使高尔夫运动的发展
出现契机,麦克罗伊做为新生代选手的杰
出代表,与乔丹-斯皮思、帕特里克-瑞
德一起为世界高坛带来新气象。而像泰

有机会在佘山国际高尔夫俱乐部与世
界高球精英一争上下,里奇-福勒只是众多
优秀选手之一。
福勒补充到:“世锦赛-汇丰冠军赛
绝对是这一年中球员阵容 强的赛事之
一,这项出色的比赛总是会产生出色的冠
军。可以再度征战汇丰冠军赛,和世界优
秀的选手一决高下让我觉得兴奋。”

Japan, an island nation that can
seem more coast than anything
else, is known in the West for its
yen for sushi—an affinity that has
spread to the United States and the rest
of the world. But in the last two dec-
ades it is Japan’s far more land-locked
neighbor and regional rival that has
begun upending the oceans to satisfy
its citizens’ hunger for fish.
“China is currently the world’s larg-
est consumer of fish, accounting for
one-quarter of global fish demand,
and its fish consumption continues
to rise with its burgeoning middle-
income class,” said Zhang Wenbo, who
conducted the research for an inter-
national study on the China’s impact
on world fish supplies published in
the magazine Science this year while
completing his PhD at the aquaculture
institute of the University of Stirling,
Scotland.
In the paper, Zhang and other
researchers write that fishing in Chi-
na’s coastal waters is badly regulat-
ed and sloppily done, such that large
amounts of inedible or undesirable fish
end up in animal feeds, some of it fed
to farm-raised fish, which make up the
vast majority of China’s annual aqua-
culture output. The inclusion of such
“trash fish” requires far greater har-
vests to supplement what is now the
largest domestic fish-farming opera-
tion in the world.
These and other wasteful practices
have set China’s diners on a collision
course with aquatic populations of
every stripe both at home and abroad.
But the solution to this insatiable
demand, according to Zhang and his
co-authors, may lie in the fish-farming
by-products currently being labeled
as waste and dumped en masse into
China’s waters.
Better out than inChina is the world’s single largest mar-
ket for seafood, one that has grown
rapidly over the two decades leading
up to 2010, at an annual rate of 6% for
a per capita consumption of 33.1 kg
(72.9 lbs). That gives the country’s per
capita pork consumption (39 kg last
year) a run for its money, and is more
than double the annual per capita fish

supply in the rest of the world (15.4
kg) according to the Food and Agricul-
ture Organization (FAO) of the United
Nations. And while China accounted
for 30% of global fish consumption
when the bank’s report was published,
according to its baseline prediction
model the country will account for
38% by 2030.
That growth has shown no signs
of slowing since that prediction was
made. In 2012 China became the
world’s largest seafood market, and
in 2013 it imported US$8.4 bil-
lion worth of fish and seafood for
an annual increase of 8.9%, accord-
ing to Canada’s agriculture ministry.
Fresh fish imports alone weighed in at
36.6 million tons that year, provided
by a wide variety of countries: Russia
(17.8%), the United States (15.3%),
Peru (12.1%), Chile (5.3%) and Nor-
way (5.1%) accounted for the largest
shares. Imports were dominated by
fish meal and flour (US$1.7 billion)
for use in animal feed, frozen Alaska
pollock (US$883.6 million) – popular
in everything from fillets and fast food
to fish sticks and imitation crab – and
frozen fish (US$465.5 million).
But China is also, at least for now,
the world’s largest exporter of fish,
which in 2013 ran in dollar value to
well more than double its imports at
US$19.7 billion, an increase of 6.9%
over the previous year. Top exports
included frozen cuttlefish and squid
(US$1.6 billion), frozen shrimp and
prawns (US$1.2 billion) and frozen
fish (US$1 billion); top destinations
were Japan (19.3%), the US (15.9%)
and Hong Kong (11.6%). These figures
reflect the massive growth of China’s
domestic aquaculture—fish farming.
Small-fry farmingChina has been responsible for the
majority of growth in global fish pro-
duction in recent years, most of it from
aquaculture, which began to boom
shortly after the beginning of eco-
nomic reforms in the early 1980s. In
1979, China’s aquaculture production
totaled 1.23 million tons, and in 2003
it reached 30.28 million tons, grow-
ing from 29% to 64.33% of total fish
consumed during the same period and
replacing capture as the major source
of fish production in China. In 2012,
the latest year for which FAO data is
available, aquaculture production hit
42.88 million tons.
But just as important as how many
is how they are produced, and by
whom. Inland freshwater aquaculture
has long held a far larger portion of
total production compared to saltwater
farms, and grew from from 58.6% of
the total in 2003 to 61.6% at last count
in 2012. But as in much of mainland
agriculture, small, individually-owned
farms still predominate.
Small-scale pond farming remains
essentially unchallenged as the primary
source for freshwater fish, dropping
only slightly from 70.54% in 2003 to
70.19% in 2010. In the latter year, larg-
er-scale farming in lakes and reservoirs
totaled just 18.69% of the total catch.
While most freshwater farmers culture
more than one species, the typical scale
of operations remains small: While the
number of fish cages at Asian farms
ranged from 2 to 590 in a recent FAO
survey, Chinese farms averaged only
53.
Chum in, chum outThese and other inefficiencies increase
input costs and limit the output of
domestic farming and increase the
burden on wild populations. Zhang
said he and his co-authors discovered
that domestic consumption trends
appeared to foreshadow “a major shift
in China’s trade position in fish prod-
ucts, from the world’s leading fish
exporter to a net importer in the com-
ing decades.”
Indeed, they note, China is well-
prepared for such an eventuality: It
operates the world’s largest interna-
tional fishing fleet, with vessels spread
over 80 countries’ economic zones
and other foreign territories. As high-
quality fishmeal comes into greater
demand, Chinese companies will begin
to take advantage of oceanic areas
where higher-nutrient fish congre-
gate—the fishing rights to which they
have been snapping up in recent years.
That would push other countries to
trawl for a greater quantity of trash fish
to make up for the dearth.
Instead, Zhang and co. suggest recy-
cling the waste by-products from sea-
food processing plants across China:
Discarded material from global fish
processing are estimated to total rough-
ly 20 million metric tons annually,
equal in weight to more than a quarter
of the world’s total marine catch.
This “waste” can account for
30-70% of fish shipments by volume
and is often discharged into nearby
rivers, lakes and bays. But by the
researchers’ reckoning said processing
waste could satisfy between half and
two-thirds of the current volume of
fishmeal used by Chinese fish farm-
ers. That would mean fewer wild fish
hauled in, making for a more sustain-
able industry in the long run.

China’s paper producers might
be having a tough time under
the country’s new environ-
mental laws, but they aren’t keen to
talk about it. When asked how the
paper industry has been faring under
new and more stringent anti-pollution
regulations introduced this year, over a
dozen paper manufacturers declined to
say so much as a word. Only one even
consented to looking at a list of ques-
tions before doing an interview—then
stopped responding altogether once he
got them.
For those working in the paper-
making industry, media coverage has
rarely been positive in recent years as
more information has come to light
about the damage done to China’s
environment by its countless small-
scale paper mills. But a new national
environmental protection law enacted
this year together with unprecedented
strict regulations from the central gov-
ernment introduced in April have put
the squeeze on an overcapacity indus-
try whose profit margins are razor-
thin already. That is likely on purpose,
said Debra Tan, director of the Hong
Kong-based nonprofit, China Water
Risk.
Tan said the April plan makes it
very clear that the central government
is focused on tackling industries that
are energy- and water-intensive as
well as heavy polluters. She said based
on the list of targeted sectors – which
ranks paper mills in its top tier –
“they’re well aware of what industries
those are.”
Bulk businessChina was the biggest annual consum-
er of paper products in 2013 at 24.4%
of global consumption, according to
the latest available edition of the China
Paper Industry Almanac. Stats from
the Food and Agriculture Organization
of the United Nations from that year
also show that China was the world’s
leading producer at 26.6%. Accord-
ing to the latest figures from the China
Paper Association, 72.9% of the indus-
try’s total production volume comes
from just eight administrative districts,
mostly along the more-developed coast:
Shandong, Guangdong, Zhejiang,
Jiangsu, Fujian, Hebei, Hainan and
Tianjin.

looned from 36.8 million tons in 2001
to 97.8 million tons in 2013, accord-
ing to the industry group China Paper
Association; production for the same
period rose from 32 million tons to
101.1 million tons. Production didn’t
catch up with consumption until 2007,
but consumption seems to have peaked
in 2012.
Peaking demand and a stable low
global price of paper – about US$191,
according to business data provider
IBISWorld - hasn’t stopped mills from
churning out more of the stuff, though.
Estimates from the World Business
Council for Sustainable Development
expect China’s paper output to increase
by 67% from 2010 to 2025. And while
the gross value of both industrial out-
put and revenue for the paper sector in
China have been increasing in recent
years, manufacturers’ profit margins
have decreased as a result of raw mate-
rials’ high cost and competitive global
prices, according to a 2014 analysis of
mainland China’s paper industry by the
Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Yet despite its size, China’s paper
sector is not dominated by industrial
leaders with a firm hold on the high-
est-value products. China Paper Asso-
ciation statistics record roughly 2,934
paper manufacturers on the mainland,
82% of which are smaller-scale factory
outfits. In 2013 the top producer, Nine
Dragons Paper, accounted for 11% of
total production volume, and together
it and the next four largest manufac-
turers – Lee & Man, Shandong Chen-
ming, Shandong Sun and Huatai Group
– accounted for only 25.8% of China’s
annual total production.
Papered-over pollutionAmong the more positive environ-
mental developments this year for
water resources has been the National
Development and Reform Commis-
sion’s (NDRC) announcement of new
water pollution policies. Unfortunately
for China’s paper makers, it specifically
targets paper mills, as well as chemical
plants and textile factories. The outsize
amount of waste discharged by these
industries has made them an obvious
target for policymakers.
But where previous ambitious anti-
pollution plans in 2003 and 2011 that
targeted paper mills often fell short
thanks to vague implementation plans,
the new NDRC regulations actually
create a policy platform that ties many
other policies together in an unusually
cohesive and explicit way. While most
national or regional government policy
in mainland China is left intentionally
vague, the new plan seems to leave no
such loopholes, introducing 26 specific
requirements for improvement and 238
mandatory measures, with each one
accompanied by a list of responsible
ministries.
From an environmental perspec-
tive, there is good reason to target paper
mills. According to a report from China
Water Risk, the paper industry’s waste
water discharge accounts for 10-12%
of mainland China’s total—topmost
among all industries. The report also
cites Zhao Wei, Secretary-General of
the China Paper Association, as saying
that of China’s almost 3,500 paper mills,
the number of small mills was around
3,100, with medium and large making
up the remainder. Zhao said large mills
contribute 80% of total production,
“but account for less than a third of the
industry’s pollutant discharge.”
The health hazards are enormous as
well, with the number of reported con-
flicts arising over toxic dumping from
paper mills having risen in recent years.
In one typical case, locals from the
city of Weifan in Shandong province
accused nearby paper mills of pump-
ing industrial waste into the city’s water
supply, sending cancer rates soaring.
One country’s trash...Yet even if many of China’s small plants
are closing, it seems unlikely that prices
inside the country will rise by any sub-
stantial amount. In addition to steady
international prices for paper, China’s
recycling rate has grown substantially
in recent years, reaching about 44.5%
in 2012, according to the HKEx report.
That’s still far below the developed-
nation average of 60%, though, which
points to a limited domestic supply of
waste paper.
As a result, China’s imports of waste
paper have risen dramatically, from
about 17 million tons in 2005 to more
than 30 million tons in 2012, the latest
year for which the statistics department
of the Hong Kong government has pro-
vided figures. Globally, almost 40% of
recovered paper is exported from the
US, of which Chinese imports account
for 70%. And while prices spiked in
2011, a slowdown in demand which
began in late 2013 has since pulled them
back down.
In light of the Chinese paper’s indus-
try’s chronic oversupply of both prod-
uct and pollution, there appears to be
little economic downside to culling
the worst of an overpopulous herd—
and little chance of an uproar from
the public should the latest drive suc-
ceed. Indeed, about the only ones who
might mind if the sector gets slashed
and burned are the paper makers them-
selves. But they aren’t talking.

微商朋友圈生意告急从朋友圈刷屏创造销售神话,到好友避而远之,再到被屏蔽拉黑,微商商业模式在假货和假帐号的包围中不得不寻找新的突破路径。
以往,微商沿用传统代理模式,一级
代理拿到货后再招二级代理、三级
代理,一级一级地向下压货。当货在 后
一个层级的人手里库存积压得越来越多,
就像近日股市大跌一样,个体微商出货也
越来越难。在意识到这种“滚雪球”的危
机后,一些品牌微商开始转型。
自由选择代理品牌微商的繁荣得益于微信的发展降低
了各种营销成本,使人人电商和社交电商
成为一种可能,但近期微信运营团队对朋
友圈虚假生意的打击力度的加强,传统微
商模式的弊病开始暴露。今年3月18日,
微信官方就针对首批售假账号作出结果公
示,共计有93个冒名侵权的公众账号和
233个售假个人账号被封停。
“微商群体要做好,首先需要对货
品做控制,对人群做分层,避免信誉透
支。”京东旗下拍拍小店相关负责人表
示:“现在的代理制不需要囤货,也不再
是分级提成,商家的提成机制是透明的,
代理也几乎不需要付出任何成本。”拍拍
小店细化了代理的关系,一方面是针对个
体消费者,只要动手将商品转发到朋友
圈,有购买就可以获得佣金;另一方面是
面向商家,商家可以挑选合适的商品直接
上架到自己的店铺,发货、售后则统统由
供货商负责。
微商需要同时思考的是以货为基础还
是以人为基础,如何有效地在大的社交平
台上搭建购物生态。其次,社交场景下商
家生态中不同商家也有不同分层需求,但
都要考虑相对有序地分享传播,结合中心
化流量使用,综合提升品牌效应,而不是
以透支人群信用为代价。
轻代理新模式不仅是微商平台在“清理门户”,过
去两个月,部分标杆的传统微商企业也在
发生重大变化。这些传统大牌的微商操盘
手开始抛弃层层囤货的微商操盘模式,代
之以更利于行业健康发展、品牌长远发展
的微商模式,逐步改变了目前主流微商的
运作模式。
据广州微商市场的一位专业人士张
先生介绍,目前微商运作模式主要有以下
几种。一是多层级代理制微商,这是将传
统线下招商模式搬上互联网的典型做法。
多层级代理产品流转路线主要从大区、总
代、市代、一级、二级、特约到消费者,
中间设置4-6个层级,层层囤货。这种模
式主要在于快速通过渠道铺货,以实现短
期内快速汇款,甚至圈钱。在这种模式
下,品牌传播导向以招商为主,代理通过
投入相应量的金钱进行囤货以获得 优的
进货价,以更利于获得下级代理的利润差
价。二是分享推荐制微商,微商可从中分
享推荐赚佣金,这是一种按照 终交易效
果付费的推广方式(CPS)。但市面上有少
部分商家却打着“消费变投资,人人是
老板”的幌子,强制要求认购商品才能加
入,而且给的利润空间高得吓人,几乎就
是“传销”。
“前两种都有遭人病垢之处,”张
先生说,“目前 主流的微商模式是零售
微商。”零售微商是以品牌与个人直营零
售、或是以品牌为中心的微商生态系统,
踏踏实实卖好产品、提供好服务是此类微
商的发展根本。“这类微商起步阶段会相
对缓慢,但一旦建立起可持续运转的体
系,并形成规模化之后,就能形成小而美
的自循环生态。”
在看好轻代理模式的人看来,这种
模式使产品到达消费者的代理层级缩短,
产品的利润空间分配更合理,也更利于动
销。代理无囤货或只有少量使用产品,通
过合理的微商分级和晋级制度,让代理也
有动力通过低风险投入实现稳健收益。

从上个月的高峰价每股38美元,下跌至本
周三每股30.32美元,尽管今年以来该股
股价仍然上涨了30%。按照周三的股价,
高瓴资本集团所持京东这些股票价值约为
43亿美元。高瓴资本集团数年来以大量持
有上市公司股票而知名,其所持这些公司
股票的时间较其它基金公司更长。高瓴资
本集团是蘑菇街现有股东之一。
包括电子商务巨头在内的在美国上市
中国科技股,较国内上市股表现得要好一
些。在沪深两市交易的许多科技公司往往
都是小盘股,他们吸引的是散户投资者的
热钱,大的机构投资者投资的则不多。
近几周,这类股随着大盘的大跌而受到重
创,有的腰斩,有的不得不暂时停牌。
一些大的私募股权投资公司并没有
草率行事,其资金一般投资在他们预计在
数年而非几周会内做得很出色的那些公司
上。Uber Technologies的中国竞争对手
滴滴快的(Didi Kuaidi Joint Co.)周三
宣布已经完成20亿美元融资,投资者包
括Capital International Private Equity
Funds和Coatue Management LLC.两
家美国基金公司。私募股权投资基金往往
是考虑未来长远回报的长线投资,他们持
股时间往往达到多年。尽管他们不会终止
投资,但一些可能在近期配置基金时将变
得更加谨慎,因为上市的科技公司股价进
一步下跌可能会让他们达成新交易变得更
困难。
中国科技公司股票的疲软在未来可能
会影响中国下一代小创业公司,这些小的

来自风险投资家以及其它私募股权投资者
的未来投资。不过陈表示,这样的讨论仍

金融健康发展,引导互联网企业拓展国际
市场。一时间“互联网+”一词就引发了各
界广泛的关注和议论。那么“互联网+”指
的是什么呢?
简单来说,“互联网+”加的不仅仅
是技术,而是“互联网+各个传统行业”,
这二者如何更加深入地融合,从而迸发出
更多更好的新兴产业和新兴业态,也促进

带来了巨大的提升,但互联网的出现不仅
仅提高了生产力,它将带给传统企业的是
决策方式、业务模式、经营思路等方面的
巨大转变。那么当互联网遇到不同的企业
时会发生什么呢?
一、当互联网遇到制造业春节前夕,一些制造业大省接连传来

在日本抢购马桶盖的现象,不得不承认中
国制造业面临空前的压力。国人都喜欢买
洋货,却不介意这些漂洋过海的产品上面
写着:“Made in China”。
出现这样的问题,原因当然是多方面
的,在企业倒闭的案例中,用工成本过高
是一个很紧要的问题,我国的制造业一直
是处于劳动密集型,那么现阶段劳动力人
口不断下降对制造业来说打击很大。另外
中国制造业多年来忽略了品牌的建设,更
多的是看重产品的量和规模,生产中习惯
模仿他人而不能做到很好的创新,这都使

充满了风险。
那么制造业中出现互联网应该是什么
样呢?那就是“轻时代”。
例如,随着智能机器人技术的快速发
展和价格的下跌,极大可能导致工厂将加
快使用机器人取代工人的步伐。中国制造
业曾经一直得益于廉价的劳动力,而现在
对于中国而言,先进机器人将节省约18%
的劳动力成本,大大缓解了用工成本过高
的问题。制造业智能化意味着我们将移动
互联网、云计算、物联网、大数据等新型
信息技术与制造业的每一环节相互打通,
这也预示着以智能制造为主导的工业4.0
时代的到来,这将是人类的第四次工业
革命。

无疑成为综合视频网站的老大,而乐视可

乐视打造了“平台+终端+内容+应
用”的“乐视生态模式”,甚至在三网融
合发展十分成熟的美国也找不到一家与其
模式完全相同的公司。它比苹果多了影视
内容版权,比亚马逊多了智能电视终端。
乐视不仅仅提供有线网络直播节目,也提
供了互联网视频提供商在线自由点播等网
络功能,乐视的超级电视和乐视盒子填补
了这一市场空白。
目前乐视的布局发展,已经有乐视

乐视盒子、智能电视操作系统Letv UI,
智能电视应用市场Letv Store等,乐视希
望继续加码生态系统,乐视终端手机已高
调发布,打造娱乐产业生态圈的意图十分
明显。
互联网的优势在于打破了以往的信息
不对称,将碎片化的用户需求进行整合,
从而扩大了消费范围、降低了交易成本,
提高了运行效率。
国家总理李克强在两会上答记者问
时说到:“站在‘互联网+’的风口上顺

话题
读懂消费者才是王道品牌经济时代,所有的关注焦点都集中到了消费者身上。消费者成为市场中真正的上帝,然而上帝们的内心却难以揣度。文 | 李光斗
中国正在成为世界上 富想象力的市
场。全球化浪潮冲击下的中国消费
品市场,也正在从以前的产品导向时代向
消费者导向时代转变,成熟的买方市场已
经形成。消费者成为市场经济大舞台的主
角,选择权掌握在他们手中,消费者的选
择决定着企业能否生存与发展的命运。
品牌经济时代,所有的关注焦点都
集中到了消费者身上。消费者成为市场中
真正的上帝,然而上帝们的内心却难以揣
度。在市场营销活动的实际执行过程中,
我们发现市场现状与调研结果往往大相径
庭。消费者表述的消费理念与实际消费行
为背离,这使得企业精心制定的商品或服
务的整体决策出现严重偏差,企业本想与
消费者先期进行沟通以便了解其所需求,
实际上却被错误信息误导而造成在市场竞
争中处于尴尬的境地。
因此首先洞察消费者内心真实的需
求,才是企业制定、采取市场行动的基础
和前提。
隐藏于消费者内心对品牌认知的三个
层次:
第一个层次,品牌是个符号消费者 初接触到的是品牌形象,这
种形象愈有个性和特点愈好。比如消费者
来到麦当劳就餐时,无论店外或店内但凡
人眼所及之处:点餐台、各种食品包装或
员工制服、玩具上都清晰、醒目的印着黄
色“M”符号。在消费者心中当想到或谈
及麦当劳时,头脑中自然第一个就会想到
它的形象符号“M”;当我们到两个C字
母背对交叉在一起的标志就知道是Cha-
nel—香奈儿,无论在多么混乱的环境
中,一眼就能看出这个象征时尚、优雅的
标志。
第二个层次,品牌的联想品牌所代表的是消费者所认知和赞
同的某种价值观和心理认同的情感趋向。
品牌是连接企业和消费者情感的纽带,对
于竞争对手又是无形但具有杀伤力的有力
武器。每个品牌都应该有与众不同的品牌
内涵以及它所带给消费者的情感认同和偏
好,使消费者在享受商品的同时还能感受
到品牌所赋予的情感价值的体验。当你在
喝“可口可乐”的时候,并不只是单纯的
去喝一种深色液体的碳酸饮料,那样的话
喝什么饮料不是喝呢?但只有“可口可
乐” 能代表美国。

话题
在第二次世界大战中,可口可乐成
为能让美国大兵摆脱孤独和苦恼,稳定军
心、提高士气的军需品。艾森豪威尔在北
非指挥大军远征西西岛之前,给美军参谋
长联席会议主席马歇尔发出的一份急电要
求道:
“本军现行要求300万瓶可口可乐,
以及每月可以生产两倍数量的完整装瓶、
清洗封盖设备,请提供护航。”
第三个层次,潜意识潜意识是消费者内心对品牌深层次
的真实想法,也是在做消费者调研时 核
心的部分。消费者在消费过程中不但追求
生理的需求和满足,更多的是在追求心理
上的需求,追求一种感觉、自身价值的认
同。只有品牌才能赋予消费者需求被认同
的的心理满足。
这一点星巴克做的就比较不错,星巴
克咖啡在中国卖的就是一种时尚的感觉。
时代华纳董事长Gerald Levin曾说,判
断城市进步的指标就要看它是否拥有星巴
克。
1999年1月,星巴克在北京的国贸大
厦开了第一家中国分店。此后短短的4年时
间内,星巴克在中国扩张的气势就似乎一
发不可收拾,它那绿色美人鱼标志已经成
为一种现代城市图腾,无处不在。
也许在咖啡文明的国家里,星巴克
代表着闲适和舒缓的生活。而对中国人来
说,喝咖啡不仅是一种生活享受,更代表
一种奢侈的消费时尚。让喝咖啡变成一
种时尚文化的生活体验,星巴克做得很
到位。
一个荡漾着黑色咖啡浓香的地方,一
个充满情调的地方,一个总是人满为患的
地方,现在星巴克已成了装点中国都市白
领生活门面的地方。
在中国去星巴克消费的,90%是冲着
那种氛围,“喝情调”去的。
星巴克一般选址在人流、特别是有钱
的人流多的商场、写字楼。在北京,循着
星巴克的绿色标志,你会有这样的有趣发
现:国贸、中粮广场、东方广场、嘉里中
心、丰联广场、百盛商场、赛特大厦、贵
友大厦、友谊商店、当代商城、新东安商
场、建威大厦……都是有钱人经常出没的
地方,当然也是小资们可以显示自己身份
的地方。有这样的形象,吸引一群特定的
人流当然没有问题了。
试想一下,拎着笔记本电脑去星巴
克,星巴克咖啡店的每个咖啡座下都有一
个电源插座,可以一边惬意地喝着咖啡,
一边用随身携带的笔记本电脑上上网、发
发邮件、写点东西,而且不需要电话线。
星巴克已经与网通合作推出了“无限伴
旅”,在星巴克,笔记本电脑成为星巴克
的“咖啡伴侣”。
这时你坐在巨大的落地窗旁,看着
窗外的车水马龙,轻轻啜饮一口香浓的咖
啡,你会有一种城市主人的感觉,虽说有
点做秀的意味,却也非常符合“雅皮”的
感觉体验。
星巴克很聪明,巧妙地利用了小资们
的消费心理特征,在一个公共场所来展示
自己是新潮一族。这其实也是许多当代中
国人的心理特征。星巴克为那些中国正在
形成的,喜欢看与被看到的都市白领提供
了一种全新的消费体验。
企业如果想长久的占领消费者的心
智,与其进行情感上的沟通 重要不过
了。就好像谈恋爱,爱一个人永远没有懂
一个人重要,读懂你的消费者才是品牌战
争中致胜的王道。

市场化再进一步央行“汇改新政”
8月11日,央行决定进一步完善人民币
兑美元汇率中间价报价,增强其市场
化程度和基准性。8月12日,情况还在继
续发生变化。
“人民币兑美元汇率中间价大跌超过
3%,这在人民币汇改历史上,是不曾有过
的。”一位国有银行外汇交易员表示。然
而,这一幕确实发生了。“但是,随着美
元加息预期越来越高,人民币短期适度贬
值的市场压力一直都存在,但很多企业与
机构的应对策略,要么将手里的人民币兑
换成美元,要么不再将对外贸获得的美元
进行结汇,但这些美元没有撤离中国,而
是存入境内银行,这导致了金融市场出现
一个新现象,国家外汇储备有所减少,银
行外汇存款却在增加。”
对于此次人民币中间价报价机制的调
整,央行方面解释称,人民币汇率中间价
偏离市场汇率幅度较大,持续时间较长,
已经影响了中间价的市场基准地位和权威
性。随着这项措施对人民币中间价报价机
制进行优化,将有利于提高中间价形成的
市场化程度,扩大市场汇率的实际运行空
间,更好地发挥汇率对外汇供求的调节
作用。
在不少外汇交易员看来,央行此举的
更大目的,旨在解决人民币纳入国际货币
基金组织(IMF)特别提款权(SDR)的
相关操作问题。8月初,IMF 新报告重点
提到将人民币纳为“全球储备货币”的某
些操作性困难,比如在岸与离岸人民币汇
率的差异、在岸市场流动性不足、在岸市
场每日交易时间短等问题。
“更重要的是,IMF希望人民币能拥
有一个具备广泛代表性的、以市场定价为
基础的汇率指标价格,确保IMF成员在任
何时间,能以这个基准汇率进行较大规模
的外汇交易。”一位前IMF工作人员透露。
根据外汇交易中心的解释,人民币对
美元汇率中间价的形成方式,是由交易中
心在每日银行间外汇市场开盘前,向外汇
市场做市商询价,并将全部做市商报价作
为人民币对美元汇率中间价的计算样本,
去掉 高和 低报价后,将剩余做市商报
价加权平均,得到当日人民币对美元汇率
中间价,相应的权重则由外汇交易中心根
据报价方在银行间外汇市场的交易量及报
价情况等指标综合确定。
随着8月11日人民币中间价大跌,不
少机构开始担心资本外流问题。交通银行
首席经济学家连平对此表示,目前讨论中
国面临资本外流危机,有点言过其实。毕
竟,相比这些新兴市场国家经济发展严重
依赖大宗商品出口,中国经济结构更有弹
性,可以通过出台一系列刺激政策确保经
济尽早企稳反弹,避免重蹈新兴市场国家
经济恶性循环+资本外流的覆辙。“不可
否认的是,中国外汇储备之所以减少,一
是外汇储备里的非美元资产因货币贬值造
成的估值损失,二是少量资金的确开始外
流。”连平指出。但这些都不是导致外汇
储备缩水的主要原因,一个不容忽视的趋
势,是中国正在推行“一带一路”战略,
对外有大量投资并购项目,加之近年中国
居民增加对外投资力度,某种程度也会导
致外汇储备减少。
在上述外汇交易员看来,中国政府之
所以调整人民币中间价定价机制,主要目
的是推动人民币尽早满足加入SDR的各项
条件,加快人民币国际化的步伐。因此央
行也会倾向保持人民币长期升值的趋势,
为人民币国际化创造良好的外部环境。毕
竟,各国央行与国际大型资产管理机构不
愿将一只存在趋势性贬值预期的货币,纳
入自己储备货币资金池。
话题
美金对人民币中间价大跌约2%,被业界认为是央行完善中间价报价机制所带来的一次性调整。

Tibet · Zenisi Monastery waiting in silence for 759 yearsSituated in the southwest of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Tibet is well known for its spectac-ular and miraculous natural beauty, haunting the hearts of travel enthusiasts and culture pursuers who seek challenges and explorations
Grand Potala Palace, glittering
Namsto Lake, magnificent
Yarlung zangbu Grand Can-
yon, and Mount Everest, Qomolangma,
provide a first glimpse of Tibet, a broad
land enriched with profound natural
and human elements. One of Tibet’s
dominant cultural elements—Bud-
dhism—vividly unfolds in the religious-
styled architecture and citizen’s daily
lives, becoming the source for exploring
the secrets of Tibet.
Various Buddhist temples are scat-

strings of beautiful pearls, inheriting
and developing the ancient culture,
influencing the lives of generations.

nan Province at its southeast and
adjoins Nyingchi Prefecture at its
southwest. Moreover, Angqu River,
Zhaqu River, and Sequ River blend here
into Lancang River, forming a pictur-
esque landscape.
Zenisi Monastery is situated in a
sacred place which was blessed by Man-
jushri Bodhisattva. This place is also
known as the second Wutai Mountain.
Perched on the hilltop, the monastery
boasts a splendid scene. Accumulated
snow clothes endless mountains under
a vast blue sky, like a classic Chinese ink
painting. The irregular coverage of the
snow creates different patterns and thus
bestows each peak with its own dis-
tinctive character. When spring comes,
as the snow melts and plants revive,
the mountains appear more precipitous
and imposing. Lush trees cluster around
the foot of the hills, while the peaks
become more distinct in shape. Stand-
ing in front of the monastery, one can
hear the Langcang River roaring in the
distance; retreating to the back, a peace-
ful picture springs to sight as trees and
grass surround the Lama’s red houses.
The Sky joining the Earth, water suc-
ceeding the mountains, this is the home
to Zenisi Monastery where Lamas study
Buddhist doctrines in tranquility, and
acquire inspiration in body, heart and
soul.
An ancient monastery that undergoes constructions through several generationsSince the establishment of Zenisi Mon-
astery 700 years ago, several eminent
monks have dedicated themselves to
the protection and development of the
monastery.
The founder of the monastery was
Hphags Pa Blo Gros Rgyal Mtshan. He
showed great talent and extraordinary
retentive memory in his childhood.
According to ‘The History of Yuan
Dynasty’, when he was only seven years
old, he could read several thousand
words of Buddhist texts, understand
their general meaning, and is therefore
called a saint child. His fame spread far
quickly. He often followed his uncle
Sakya Pandita to travel around and
learnede Sakya doctrines. At the age
of 17, he had acquired all the essence
of Sakya. In the year 1251, Sakya Pan-
dita was hit by a severe illness. Before
his death, he appointed Hphags Pa to
be his successor as the abbot of Sakya
Monastery and the hierarch of Sakya.
Thus, Hphags Pa became the fifth mas-
ter of Sakya, Tibetan Buddhism when
he was 17. Two years later, Hphags Pa
reencountered Kublai, the fifth emperor
of the Yuan Dynasty, who had shown
favor and appreciation of him before.
Kublai appointed him as Guru out of
regard to his knowledge and virtues.
Hphags Pa taught Buddhism to Kub-
lai’s households. In the year 1256 at
the Southern Song Dynasty, Hphags Pa
become an intimate follower of Kub-
lai and established Zenisi Monastery
beside Nabo Mountain at Changdu
area, Tibet, creating a new homeland
for local Buddhists.
In 1765, the Fourth Kamtrul
Choekyi Nyima Rinpoche renovated
and extended Zenisi Monastery. The
brand new monastery became the larg-
est Drukpa Kagyud Linkage monastic
institute in the Xikang region consisting
of a yoga center and Buddhism texts
hall.
In modern times, due to lack of
repair for long years, the walls of the
monastery were fractured and the tim-
ber rotted severely. Under the support
of the relevant departments, the previ-
ous abbot Kunchog Rinpoche began
renovation work in 1982. Owing to a
shortage of money, the reconstruction
was quite simple and crude. To make
matters worse, the 2010 Yushu earth-
quake brought serious destroy to Zenisi
Monastery. The architecture framework
were so badly damaged that the main
hall had to be abandoned. The accom-
modation of hundreds of Lamas was
threatened, so the reconstruction was
imperative. Since 2007, the present
abbot Rabjam Yeshe Rinpoche has
spared no effort to travel long distances
around the country to teach Buddhist
doctrines and raise money for the mon-
astery’s repair. A Buddhism legend, a
profound history, a classic legacy that
endures 759 years, Zenisi Monastery
deserves more attention and participa-
tion from the public. At last, thanks to
the general aid from all walks of life, the
reconstruction work of the main hall
started in May, 2012 and the external
contour renovation was completed in
October, 2013. Now, Zenisi Monastery
is grand and magnificent with an 3,000
square metres, comprising four floors.

The first and second floor are each six
metres high.
Inheriting a thousand years of Bud-
dhism culture, Zenisi Monastery has
transitioned through several dynasties
in its 759 years history, witnessing the
development of Tibet and raising gen-
eration after generation of Lamas.
Three generations of Tsannyid Rajam guard and develop the monasteryRinpoche, a respectful was to address
a “living Buddha”, means “treasure”.
Among many appellations that indicate
a living Buddha, Rinpoche is the most
cordial, frequently used and respected.
Since its establishment, Zenisi Monas-
tery has fostered over a hundred schol-
ars and great masters under the guard
of three Rinpoche.
In 1838, Lodro Tenpa Rinpoche was
born beside the Lancang River. With
profound knowledge and preemi-
nent intelligence, he obtained doctoral
degree on Ten Dharma and became
the first Tsannyid Rajam, guarding the
monastery. He passed into Parinirvana
in the year 1918.
In the ninth year of the Republic
of China, namely 1920, Dawa Tserig
Rinpochi was born. He is firmly
believed to be the reincarnation of
Rajam-living Buddha. Virtuous and
talented, he keeps Buddhism in heart,
making extraordinary dedications for
Zenisi Monastery.
In 1979, the present abbot Rabjam
Yeshe Rinpoche was born in Changdu.
Not long after his birth, he was able
to read by heart the mantra of Man-
jusri Buddisattva. He is recognized
as the reincarnation of the first Tsan-
nyid Rajam Lodro Tenpa because of
his extraordinary talent. As the state
mentor appointed by the first Bhutan
King and the Guru of the first Dud-
jom Rinpoche, Rabjam Yeshe Rinpoche
studies Buddhism doctrines with full
concentration. It has not been once that
He closed the monastery for studying
Buddhism wholeheartedly. He takes
care of over a hundred monks with
humbleness. Since 2007, he has been
toiled to travel around to promote Bud-
dhism and raise funds for monastery
repairs.
Through the devotional care of these
three generations of Tsannyid Rajam,
Zenisi Monastery has grown continu-
ously in Tibet. Generations of guardians
carry the doctrines forward, and make
the spirit and strength of Zenisi Monas-
tery known to more people.
Where the heart leads, the feet followIn keeping with its profound origins,
Zenisi Monastery stores abundant
antiques. A diversity of Buddhist paint-
ings and statues are solemnly on dis-
play. The current abbot Rabjam Yeshe
Rinpoche has many precious items
himself, such as the painting of the third
Karmapa that is blessed by the Karmapa
himself; the painting of the twin Guru
Padmasambhava; the statue of Shakya-
muni that has thousands of years’ of
history; the statue of Manjusri Bud-
disattva with the words “Ming Yongle”
engraved on the lotus pedestal, and so
on. While introducing these great treas-
ures, Rabjam Yeshe Rinpoche is sol-
emn and concentrated, as if he is paying
respect to the real Buddha.
Now Zenisi Monastery has become
a part and parcel in the daily life of local
lamas.
During the renovation period, Rab-
jam Yeshe Rinpoche leads little lamas
to the grasslands. They have a clear
division of labor. Some pitch the tent
frames while the others clothe the tent
with Buddhist patterned coats. After
properly arranging the insides, they sit
down in a circle while the abbot begins
teaching doctrines in front of a make-
shift platform. On the Yamantaka
Dharma Assembly held in the monas-
tery in 2015, a lot of local people came
to join in. With the teachings of Abbot
Rabjam Yeshe Rinpoche, the public
also began to worship and chant. Zenisi
Monastery is indeed becoming a spir-
itual homeland for them to pursue their
beliefs and cultivate their hearts and
minds.

庙后,喇嘛们的红色房子被幼树和青草包
裹着,显得生气勃勃。
泽尼寺便是处于这样一个天地相连、
山水相接的世外桃源中,喇嘛和信徒们在
这一优美而幽静的环境中研习佛法,身心
灵也可得到升华与感悟。
历经数代建设的百年古寺在泽尼寺700多年的历史中,汇聚了
数位高僧的庇佑与心血。
寺院创始人为八思巴 · 洛哲坚赞,意
为“圣者慧幢”。他从小就聪明过人,
有过目不忘的本领。《元史释老传》中
记载,在他7岁之时,就能“诵经数十万
言,能约通其大义,国人号之圣童”。少
年时,八思巴便闻名遐迩。因其伯父是萨
迦班智达,八思巴常跟随伯父出行,并
学习萨迦教法,17岁时就尽得其一切真
传。1251年,萨迦班智达病重,在他临终
前,任命八思巴为自己的法位继承人,17
岁的八思巴开始担任萨迦寺住持和萨迦派
教主职位,成为西藏佛教萨迦派第五代师
祖。两年后,八思巴重遇之前十分器重他
的开元世祖忽必烈,忽必烈对八思巴的学
识与美德报以崇敬,奉其为上师,八思巴
也为其家人授经说法。公元1256年南宋时
期,八思巴跟随忽必烈左右,并在西藏昌
都地区的拿薄山旁兴建起泽尼寺。从此,
泽尼寺成为了当地信徒新的归属。
公元1765年,第四世康珠法王对整
座泽尼寺进行了修复和扩建,使经过岁月
洗礼的泽尼寺焕然一新,泽尼寺也被正式
立为竹巴噶举派的寺庙,成为整个西康竹
西藏,这片位于中国青藏高原西南部的土地,以其雄伟壮观、神奇瑰丽的自然风光闻名,一直是旅游爱好者与文化追求者自我挑战与探索的胜地。文 | 依喜江措仁波切

巴噶举教派 大的五明佛学院、瑜伽修练
中心以及经堂等一所完整的密宗竹巴噶举
教派的佛学院。
近代,寺院的建筑因年久失修,墙
壁出现破裂,木料也严重腐烂。在相关部
门的支持下,上任住持根秋巴桑仁波切
于1982年,开始了泽尼寺的重建工作。
由于经费短缺,寺院的建设十分简陋。雪
上加霜的是,2010年的玉树地震对泽尼
寺造成了极大的破坏,寺院的建筑架构受
到严重损害,主殿不得不被废置,数百名
喇嘛赖以生存的居所岌岌可危,因此寺院
的重建势在必行。自2007年起,现任寺
院住持依喜江措仁波切便多次不辞辛劳长
途跋涉,前往全国各地与各界善众见面穿
法,弘扬佛法的同时,为泽尼寺重建募集
善款。759年的佛缘传奇,759年的悠久
历史,759年的传世经典,需要更多善众
的关注和参与。 终,在各界的慷慨捐助
下,主殿重建工程于2012年5月开始,并
于2013年10月前完成了主殿寺庙的首四层
外廓工程。如今,泽尼寺已然气势磅礴,
总面积多达3000多平方米,寺院共有4
层,1层与2层高各6米。
759年间,泽尼寺跨越了数个朝代,
运载着几千年的佛教文化,见证了西藏数
百年的发展,孕育着一代又一代的喇嘛。
三世“泽尼然江”的守护与传承仁波切一般称为“活佛”是尊称之
一,意为“珍宝”,“摩尼宝”和”转世
喇嘛”。在活佛的多种称谓中,仁波切是
亲切、使用 普遍并且 为推崇的一种
称呼。从泽尼寺建造至今,寺院被三次转
世的“泽尼然江”仁波切的庇护下培养了
许多佛学博士和高僧大德。
公元1838年,络珠登巴仁波切在澜
沧江沿岸出生。他凭借渊博的知识和超群
的智慧获得十法博士学位,成为第一世
泽尼然江,守护着泽尼寺,并于1918年
圆寂。
民国九年,即1920年,被泽尼活佛
绛巴洛布仁波切认定为然江活佛转世的达
瓦泽仁仁波切诞生。德才兼备的他将秉承
佛学谨记在心,对于泽尼寺而言,这一
代然江活佛的贡献与功德相对来说更为
突出。
1979年,泽尼寺现任住持依喜江措
仁波切诞生于昌都,其出生后不久便能念
诵文殊菩萨心咒,这一举动使他被认定为
是第一世泽尼然江络珠登巴的转世。第
一任不丹国王的国师和第一世敦珠法王
的上师,是一位大伏藏师名为“色南囊卡
多吉”,依喜江措仁波切是大伏藏师的后
代,他潜心修行及多次闭关静修泽尼寺,
并一直传统谦卑地照顾寺院的一百多名僧
侣。2007年至今,为弘扬佛法和重建寺院
筹款,依喜江措仁波切多次不辞辛劳地前
往全国各地与各界善众见面。
泽尼寺经历了三世“泽尼然江”的
悉心照料,在西藏的土地上生根成长。历
代的守护者们口耳相传地将泽尼寺的教义
传承下去,将泽尼寺的精神与力量为众人
所知。
心之所向,身之所往与其深远厚重的发展渊源一样,泽尼
寺中也蕴藏了大量的藏品。琳琅满目的佛
教画像、雕塑有序陈列,庄严而神圣。现
任住持依喜江措仁波切自身便有很多珍贵
的收藏,如:由法王亲自加持的第三世大
宝法、住持的“双生儿”莲花生大士、具
有几千年历史的印度释迦摩尼佛像、莲花
底座上刻有汉字“大明永乐”的文殊菩萨
佛像等,住持在介绍这些佛像时犹如礼佛
般专注而神圣。
如今,泽尼寺已经成为了当地喇嘛和
信徒们生活中重要的组成部分。
在泽尼寺整修期间,住持依喜江措仁
波切带领着小喇嘛们至草原,小喇嘛分工
明确,井然有序地支起帐篷的框架,一旁
等待的喇嘛随即为其盖上印有佛教印花的
帐篷外衣,在帐篷内进行了一系列的布置
之后,大家席地而坐,住持在临时建起的
高台后为大家传授教义。在2015年泽尼寺
举行的大威德金刚法会上,众多当地居民
前来参拜,随着住持的布道而虔诚跪诵。
泽尼寺已然成为他们追随信仰、心灵进修
的课堂,成为他们可以依靠的精神家园。
泽尼寺自创建以来,历经了数代变
换与数世更迭。西藏自唐藩联姻以来,政
治、经济和文化都有了巨大的变化和飞速
的发展,历史的沉淀和文化的浸染使泽尼
寺迈着与之相同的步伐稳稳前行着。在山
明水秀的昌都,在色彩斑斓的康巴藏区,
在瑰丽多姿的西藏,泽尼寺就这样生生不
息的存在着、成长着。

LOOKING AT CHINA
Winning and losingSometimes the stock market numbers go up, and sometimes they go downBy Graham Earnshaw
The first direct experience I had
of the Shanghai Stock Exchange
came in 1993 when I visited
the city for the first time in seven or
eight years, and had the opportunity to
go and meet the head of the Exchange
at his office. The office and the actual
exchange, with trading desks and a big
screen were all in the lobby of the old
Astor Hotel, a venerable hostelry from
the foreign-controlled past of the city,
built in the late 19th century just over
the Garden Bridge from the Bund. To
see the stock exchange operating there
was a weird juxtaposition of Shanghai’s
present and past. Three years later, I
also had the opportunity to visit the
massive new headquarters of the Shang-
hai Stock Exchange in Pudong before
they were actually completed. I stood
on the massive concrete floors with no
windows or walls whatsoever, which
was also weird because by 1996 it was
already becoming clear that massive
physical trading floors were no neces-
sary for stock markets, and that trading
activity was moving online.
I am not a brilliant investor, and
apart from a brief and unprofitable
effort at day trading the New York mar-
kets in 1999, I have over the years been
cautious with regard to investment
in stock markets. My best investment
ever was in Microsoft. I bought shares
in 1995 and sold them at 10 times
the value in 1999. Alas, I did not buy
enough shares to finance the exorbi-
tantly luxurious lifestyle to which I wish
to become accustomed forever. In 2008,
I bought Apple shares at around the
equivalent of $30, and the stock today
trades at four or five times that amount.
I have neither bought any more Apple
shares nor sold those that I bought
on that day. Those are the only stocks
anywhere that I hold. Full disclosure
requirements have now been satisfied.
China’s stock market, even more
than New York and Hong Kong, has
always seemed unsafe to me, and I have
never had a stock trading account here
and have no interest in participating.
There have been periods when I have
regretted this, when the market was
booming and appeared to have no roof
on itself whatsoever. But my caution
was always rewarded at some point by
an end to the gravy train.
I have no interest in gambling casi-
nos either. I once went to the Casino
Royale in Monte Carlo in the south of
France, the most famous casino the
world, and I bought one chip for 10
French francs, the minimum amount,
and placed it on red at the roulette
table. I won. I immediately went back
to the teller and cashed in my two chips,
and left the casino humming to myself
the famous American tune “The man
who broke the bank at Monte Carlo”.
Of course I did not break the bank,
but I did beat them. And for whatever
reason, I felt no need to place the two
10-franc chips back on the roulette table
and try to double it yet again.
I will gamble in other ways, of
course, but always where there is at least
the appearance of a greater ability to
control the outcome than the random-
ness of a casino. The same is true of
stocks. While there is a fundamental
randomness about the prospects for
any investment anywhere at any time,
including the purchase of Apple stocks
in New York, the transparency, the
sense of being able to make a rational
judgment as to the likely outcome of
an investment, the ability to make a
rational case for the purchase of a stock
in Shanghai seems to me to be almost
entirely lacking.
Even experienced traders in China
tell me that economic fundamentals
and the profitability and results of indi-
vidual companies have only minimal
impact on price movements and index
movements in Shanghai. That makes it
an extremely dangerous game for any-
body who is not “in the know”. And I
am definitely not somebody who is “in
the know”. As a result, I watch the gyra-
tions of the stock market with puzzle-
ment mixed with a sense of awe at the
amounts of money that are involved.

看中国
晏格文晏格文先生是一位资深媒体人士、书籍作家、翻译
家、出版人、和音乐家在中国香港和内地已经生活了
近30年。晏格文先生以其独特的视角和对中国的深深
的敬意,从第一次造访大陆的1978年以来,一直不
断地对中国历史、语言、经济和传统文化进行深度探
究与传播。
1973年晏格文先生从英国移居香港,担任南华早报
记者和编辑。1976年,他加入了英国著名新闻集
团路透社。之后担任路透社北京分社社长(1985-
1987年),东京首席记者(1987-1989),并于1990-1995年担任路透社亚洲主
编。1996年,他在香港和上海成立了中媒集团。2008年至2010年,兼任北京《新
华财经》的责任主编。晏格文先生陆续出版了多部著作,包括《老上海记》和《步
行中国》等。他翻译的金庸武侠小说《书剑恩仇录》由牛津大学出版社于2004年出
版。他的高知名度的《晏子书斋》则出版与收录了近百本100多年前的外国人在中国
的、关于中国历史人文与自身经历的书籍。
成败之间股市之跌宕起伏实乃常态文 | 晏格文 (Graham Earnshaw)
我对于上海证券交易所第一次的直
观体验还早在1993年,那时距离
我初次来到上海已经相隔七、八年了。当
时我来到位于外白渡桥边建造于19世纪晚
期的浦江饭店拜访上海证券交易所的负责
人,当时的上海证券交易所办公室就设立
于浦江饭店之中。股票交易的操作台和大
屏幕上数值滚动,而周围的环境却是百年
前的风格,仿佛同时见证着上海的过去和
现在。3年后,我又有机会参观了上海证
券交易所位于浦东尚未竣工的新总部。当
我站在大片混凝土浇筑的地板上看着四周
尚未安装窗墙的办公室,心中涌起一丝异
样,毕竟即使在1996年,股票交易也已经
逐渐发展为线上交易,实体交易平台似乎
并无存在的必要。
就我个人而言,我并不算一个明智的
投资人。除了1999年在纽约股市一段短
暂而几乎无利可图的经历外,多年来我对
于投资股市向来十分谨慎。我 值得骄傲
的投资是于1995年买入的微软股票,当
1999年卖出时,股价已经涨到 初买入
价的10倍。在2008年,我曾以30美元的
价格买入苹果股票,如今的股价已经翻了
四、五倍,然而我既没有买入更多,也没
有将其抛出。以上就是我目前唯一持有的
股票。
中国的股票市场对我而言甚至要比纽
约和香港的股市更加动荡不安,因此我从
未开通过大陆的股票账户,今后也无意参
与。当中国的股市一度蓬勃发展似乎没有
封顶之势时,我也曾经略有后悔之意。但
是保持谨慎总会在今后的某一时刻令你获
得回报。
股市如赌博,而我对真正的赌博也
同样没有兴趣。我曾经去过位于摩纳哥蒙
特卡洛的皇家赌场,在兑换了一枚10法
郎的 小筹码后,我将赌注押在了轮盘
赌桌的红色区域,结果是我赌赢了。来到
柜台兑现两枚筹码后,我便哼着美国电影
The man who broke the bank at Monte
Carlo的主题曲,毫无留恋地离开了赌场。
毕竟我实在找不到将两枚筹码重新押到赌
桌上的必要。
我也还会以其他方式进行“赌博”,
但比起赌场极大的随机性,我更倾向于拥
有掌控力的投资方式。股市也是同理,无
论何时何地,对于投资资产具有的不定性
应当做出理性判断,包括我在纽约股市选
择购入的苹果股票。然而在上海股市,要
做出这样理性的判断,于我并非易事。
在中国,即使是经验老道的股票交易
员,也常常告诫我,基本经济因素和私营
企业收益率等,对于整个股市的股价波动
和指数变化,影响微乎其微。因此,对于
我这样不知内情的外行人而言,股市所暗
藏的风险可想而知。股市之跌宕起伏,我
虽费解,但因其所涉及的庞大金额,我心
中还是怀有一丝敬畏。
