For forex beginners, CMC Markets is still new to them – would you please tell us more about CMC Markets? H
对与外汇投资新手而言,CMC Markets还是有些陌生,能否给我们介绍一下 CMC Markets?
CMC Markets was established in London by Peter Cruddas in 1989 as an online trading firm of financial products. As of now, it has had a history of 27 years. So far, CMC Markets has set up branch offices in 13 countries, which, depending on where they are located, are under the supervision of different national financial regulators, including FCA in Britain, ASIC in Australia, MAS in Singapore, FCAC in Canada, FMA in New Zealand, BaFin in Germany and AMF in France, etc. In 2007, Goldman Sachs Group showed much interest in CMC Markets and finally became one of its main shareholders. In 2010, CMC Markets’ own Next Generation trading platform became an iconic product. With the powerful features of the platform, CMC Markets’ clients can match markets of different asset categories from all over the world from one trading account for cross-market investment portfolio by utilising capital leverage. Currently, the financial products on our trading platform mainly cover five major asset categories; namely forex, shares, indices, treasuries and commodities. C
CMC Markets是在1989年由Peter Cruddas在英国伦敦创立的金融产品在线交易 公司,至今已经有27年的历史。到目前为止,CMC Markets已经在全球13个国家
设立了分支机构并接受所在国国家金融监管机构的监管,这其中包括英国的FCA,
澳大利亚的ASIC,新加坡的MAS,加拿大的FCAC, 新西兰的FMA, 德国的BaFin和法 国的AMF等。CMC Markets在2007年成功吸引了高盛集团的股权参与,成为了公
司的主要股东之一。2010年公司自主研发的新一代交易平台(Next Generation) 成为了公司的品牌标志性产品,通过该平台的强大功能,CMC Markets的客户能
够实现从一个交易帐户对全球分属各个不同资产类别的市场进行对接,从而通过
以运用资金杠杆的模式建立起跨市场的投资组合。目前交易平台所提供的交易产 品主要覆盖五大资产类别:外汇,股票,指数期货,大宗商品期货和债券。

Would you please share your insights on the development trend of forex trading? H
您对外汇交易发展的趋势有何洞见?
From the aspect of technology, I remember in 1999 when I just joined a bank and served as a forex trader, all forex transactions were executed through phone or Reuters terminals. Each transaction with a counterparty was executed by conversion enquiry. Back then, there was no way to know the market liquidity directly, or to obtain the best quotes within a short time on a platform, like we do today. You had to enquire and compare one by one. Most of the transactions in the retail market were still executed through phone and online trading was just in its early stage. Nowadays, the technology is highly developed and both the inter-bank transactions and retail market transactions can be executed on a trading platform. Moreover, trading platforms have integrated such functions as liquidity analysis, chart analysis, financial information, best offer matching and mobile transactions, etc., which enable the forex market participants to track the market trends anytime, anywhere. Talking about the trading patterns, particularly on the level of institutional trading, program and quantitative trading are gradually replacing the roles of traders. In the ever-changing market, the biggest foe of a trader is him/herself. If he/she cannot put his/her mood and pressure under proper control, even experienced traders may suffer a disastrous defeat. However, if a transaction is executed by a program, instead of a trader, the biggest foe will cease to exist. Developed strategies will be followed regardless of any market fluctuations, while a trader will only be responsible for the timely modification of parameters to prevent deviation between the program and the market. C
从技术方面来说,记得在1999年我刚加入银行担任外汇交易员的时候,那时候的
外汇交易都是通过电话或路透社终端来进行,每次和对手行交易都是以对话询价
度直观的了解市场的流动性, 也没有办法能够以最短时间获得最佳报价,必须通 刚刚起步。当前技术高度发展,让无论是银行机构间交易还是零售市场交易都可
以通过交易平台来完成,而平台上更是综合了流动性,图表分析,金融资讯,最佳 报价撮合,移动端交易等等功能,使得外汇市场参与者能够随时随地的把握市场 脉动。而在交易模式上,特别是在机构交易的层面上,程序量化交易正在逐步取
代交易员。由于面对变化多端的市场,交易员所面临的最大敌人是自己,如果不能 很好控制自己的情绪和压力,经验再丰富的交易员都会折戟沉沙,而如果由程序
来代替人来执行交易,则摒弃了这一最大的人性缺陷,任市场如何波动,都能按照 制定好的策略来应对,而交易员的职责只需要及时修改参数来保证程序和市场不 发生背离。
H Congratulations on your successful listing on the London Stock Exchange. For forex brokers, what are the differences between being listed and unlisted?
首先恭喜CMC Markets在伦敦证券交易所顺利上市,对于外汇经纪商而言,上市 的和未上市的有何区别?
As a listed forex broker, all data, including the operational performance and financial conditions of the company, is open and transparent, and will be audited by a third-party accounting firm and then published to investors on an annual or quarterly basis according to the regulatory laws and regulations where the company is listed. It is the duty and responsibility of listed companies to do this. Take CMC Markets, for example: we publish annual reports of the past years on our official website to show our strong business growth and excellent asset quality. It is also a reflection of our self-confidence. Funds raised through the listing can also be re-invested into the company's technology and business development, etc., which will then improve the overall operation of the company. C
首先,作为上市的外汇经纪商,所有的数据包括公司运营状况及财务状况都是公
开透明并经过第三方权威会计公司审计的,并根据上市所在地的监管法规按年或 季度向投资者公布,这是上市公司的义务和责任。以我们CMC Markets为例,我
们官网上公布了CMC Markets历年的年报,显示了我公司强劲的业绩增长能力和 优质的资产质量,这也是公司自我信心的一种体现。同时通过上市的资本运作所
筹得的资金可以再投入到公司的技术开发和业务开拓等领域当中,让公司的整体 运营进入一个更加良性循环的过程。

PORT ADELAIDE’S IDEA OF BRINGING AFL TO CHINA PAYS OFF
阿德莱德港口队将澳式橄榄球联 盟赛事带到中国的点子大获成功 By Angus Grigg 作者:安格斯 ∙ 格里格 Australia’s Port Adelaide Football Club (Port) has attracted $4 million and 12 new partners to the club, and created a vehicle for greater bilateral engagement. Chief executive Keith Thomas and his chairman David Koch have championed the idea of “sports diplomacy” and using Port as a vehicle to build a better relationship between the two countries. Their starting point was how to grow the club. Realising they couldn’t compete for sponsorship dollars with their more fancied rivals like Collingwood or West Coast in the crowded Australian market, Port looked overseas and quickly realised China was the obvious place to go. They then positioned the club as a conduit for Chinese companies wanting to improve their community standing in Australia, and for Australian companies going the other way. In a bilateral trade relationship worth $137 billion, Port was able to ensure the Shanghai game breaks even in its first year. 澳大利亚的阿德莱德港澳式橄榄球俱乐部(“港口队”)刚刚获得了 400万美元的赞助并引进了12家新的合作伙伴,为中澳两国更进一步 的双边往来打造出一项全新的媒介。 总裁Keith Thomas以及董事长David Koch一直以来都是“体育 外交”概念的忠实拥趸,并利用“港口队”为契机来帮助中澳两国之间 建立更为紧密的关系;他们的出发点就是如何扩大俱乐部。 在意 识 到在 澳 大利亚本土赞助市场上无法与科 林伍德 队 (Collingwood)或者西海岸队(West Coast)等劲敌分庭抗礼之后, 港口队把目光瞄向海外,并迅速意识到中国是其首选目标。 于是,他们将球队定位为一个可帮助中国企业改善在澳社会形象 (以及帮助澳大利亚改善在华社会形象)的媒介。 中澳两国去年的双边贸易总额已达到1370亿美元,这就是为何港 口队能通过在上海举办赛事在第一年就能确保实现收支平衡。

INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT ROBUST IN CHINA 中国工业产出稳健发展 National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) Vice Chairman Ning Jizhe has released China’s industrial output for January and February 2017. According to the approximations, which Ning said were in line with expectations, industrial output grew more than six per cent in the period.

Chinese investors contributed to the majority of foreign investment approvals for the 2016 financial year, with plans to invest $47.3 billion in Australia. The latest Foreign Investment Review Board annual report shows the investment is mainly in real estate, mostly in residential development assets. The figure is similar to the previous year when $46.6 billion in approvals was awarded to Chinese investors. While this puts China far ahead of the second-biggest foreign investor, the US, which has had $31 billion in investments approved, the US still owns four times more Australian assets than China does.

CHINESE INVESTORS IN AGRIBUSINESS TOLD TO WIN A SOCIAL LICENCE OR RISK REJECTION BY RURAL COMMUNITIES 中国农业投资者被告知需赢得社会许可, 否则项目将可能被当地社区否决 By Sarina Locke – ABC Rural 作者:萨莉娜·洛克 ─ ABC Rural
A global public affairs firm has told Chinese investors there is no office that awards a social licence to buy Australian farms, so they will need to win over rural communities. Alistair Nicholas of Powell Tate said Australia needed foreign investment in agriculture, but there was growing animosity from the Australian public. “The past year has proved tumultuous for Chinese investments into Australia,” Mr Nicholas said in the report. He delivered the report at a conference in Beijing on outward investing. He was referring to the Federal Government’s rejection of two bids for the Kidman and Co cattle empire, and NSW Ausgrid power distribution. There have also been failed bids to expand dairy production. He said the public “seemed concerned about poorly conceived and executed approaches to investment in Australia by Chinese parties”. According to the recent KPMG, University of Sydney study Demystifying Chinese Investment report, a record 12 Australian agribusinesses have sold to Chinese interests, totalling $1.2 billion in the past 12 months. It is a jump of 60 per cent in a year. Mr Nicholas of Powell Tate said Chinese foreign investment was still dwarfed by US and European companies.

家全球事务企业已告知中国投资者:没 有任何一家机构负责发放购买澳大利 亚农场所需的“社会许可执照”,因此 中国投资者需自己争取当地农业社区的支持。 来自Powell Tate的Alistair Nicholas表示:澳 大利亚农业亟需外国投资,但澳大利亚民众的不 满声浪日益增加。 Nicholas先生在报告当中指出: “对于中国投 资者而言,去年是充满动荡的一年。” 他在北京的一场对外投资会议上发布了该报告。 他专门提到了被澳大利亚联邦政府所否决的 Kidman & Co牧场以及新南威尔士州Ausgrid配 电公司的两项并购案。 一些旨在扩大乳品生产的并购案亦以失败告终。 他指出: “来自中国的投资无论在规划还是执 行方面都有欠考虑,令澳大利亚民众深为不满。” 根据毕马威与悉尼大学近期发布的一份名为 《解密中国在澳大利亚的投资》的报告,在过去 的12个月期间,已有12家澳大利亚农务企业被卖 给中国投资者,总价值达到12亿美元,同比增长 了60%。 来自Powell Tate的Nicholas先生表示:中国 开展的对外投资依然远逊于美国和欧洲企业。

A LESSON IN WHAT NOT TO DO Mr Nicholas said many experts in foreign investment pointed to Ningbo Dairy Group – a company that met big opposition to establish an intensive 1,000-head dairy in a barn, and build a bottling plant at the picturesque Kernot in South Gippsland. “The group had won their foreign investment review board approval (and invested in five dairy farms). “They seemed [unaware of Australian sensitivities]; talking about expanding the herd size and bringing in Chinese agricultural practices, and then they started making statements about bringing in Chinese workers,” Mr Nicholas said. “The group’s efforts were not helped by ham-fisted media interviews given by its executives prior to the council vote.” He said the Ningbo executives were critical of Australian labour practices and costs of labour, and of Australian farm practices without understanding how they work and why, the whole concept of “stewardship of the land”.
NEED TO BECOME PART OF COMMUNITY Mr Nicholas said Chinese investors “need to demonstrate they bring more than just money to the table”. He highlighted successes like Moon Lake buying VDL dairy in Tasmania, and New Hope co-investing family dairies in NSW, and Shandong Ruyi buying Cubbie Station, the cotton irrigation property in Queensland. “What I’m trying to tell them is that this is really about engaging and becoming part of Australian society and community, (keeping local management), not just about coming in with big plans.”
Chinese investors need to demonstrate they bring more than just money to the table. 了解禁忌的一堂课 Nicholas先生指出许多外国投资专家都援引 了宁波牛奶集团的例子;这家企业计划在南吉普 斯兰风景如画的科诺特建造畜棚来饲育1000头 奶牛,以及一座牛奶装瓶工厂,但受到强烈反对。 “这家集团获得了外国投资审查委员会的批准 (并投资了五个奶牛场)。” Nicholas先生表示: “他们似乎[对澳大利亚人 的敏感性一无所知],大肆宣称要扩大牛群规模 并引进中国的农业做法,然后又开始宣布要引进 中国劳工。” “当地议会投票之前,该集团的高管在应对 媒体采访时发布的一些口不择言的说法更于事 无补。” 他表示宁波牛奶集团的高管在对澳洲农场运 营做法的深层原因缺乏了解,及对本地农民作 为“土地监护者”理念一无所知的情况下, 就急 于对本地劳工规则、人力成本以及农场运营方法 提出批评意见。 成为当地社区的一份子 Nicholas先生指出中国投资者“亟需证明他们 带来的不光只是桌子上的钱。” 他亦强调了月亮湖公司收购塔斯马尼亚州VDL 乳业、新希望集团共同投资新南威尔士州家族牧 场、山东如意科技集团收购昆士兰州棉花灌溉项 目库比棉场等等一系列的成功案例。 “我想表达的是,投资的要义就是要成为澳大 利亚社群的一份子, (雇佣属地管理人员),而不 只是带着宏伟计划上门。” 商道

OF INNOVATION 创新之新意

The China Australia Millennial Project (CAMP) is a mega-accelerator developing 100 budding entrepreneurs over a 100-day online and offline programme each year. Its jam-packed itinerary locates dynamic young Australian and Chinese delegates across both nations and equips them with the skills they need to navigate Australia’s most important economic relationship – that with China – and a world of new possibilities. As CAMP CEO, I’m proud of the programme I co-founded with four other women in 2015. I believe it’s time for fresh, diverse voices. Through empowering the flourishing young talent pool in Australia and China, CAMP fosters innovation and future leadership by creating a space for brilliance. Rather than asking “Who will be the next Jack Ma? Who will be the next Mark Zuckerberg?”, I believe we should be asking “What if Mark met Jack when they were 20 and that day was today? What would they create?” This is where we will see innovation in action, with the making of mega-unicorns created across borders for a connected millennial audience. CAMP has big goals. We’re seeking to accelerate 100,000 millennials through the programme by 2025 and shift the number of Australian SMEs engaging with China from less than ten per cent to 30 per cent in that time.
LIKE-MINDED PARTNERS I make it my mission to appeal to progressive organisations who prioritise innovation. Our partners are actively involved in the delivery of CAMP as delegates undertake the programme focused on innovation, entrepreneurship and cross-cultural leadership.

SHANGHAI: THE SPEED OF INNOVATION With the support of China Eastern Airlines, delegates met face-to-face twice during the programme, for a week each in Shanghai in March and Sydney in June, coinciding with the city’s popular Vivid festival. This year, delegates learnt firsthand just how potent the Chinese innovation sector is, with visits to launchpads, co-working and start-up spaces such as XNode, and the Hangzhou headquarters of tech-giant and CAMP supporter Alibaba. Alibaba Group Australia and New Zealand Managing Director Maggie Zhou says the e-commerce giant’s founders have a vision of making it easy for small businesses to thrive globally. The partnership with CAMP exemplifies this by focusing on entrepreneurs. For Ben Whitley, a Swisse Wellness delegate, the trip to Alibaba was the most memorable aspect of the Shanghai Summit and he especially appreciated gaining an understanding of how its ecosystem works. “At Swisse, I deal with customers who work on Alibaba platforms on a day-to-day basis, so I was keen to experience it for myself,” Whitley tells me. “Visiting Alibaba, I realised that previously I truly didn’t understand how many touchpoints they have with their customers. They have such a broad business spectrum – I had no idea of the scope.” Whitley was also overwhelmed with the focus on ideas at the Chinese innovation hubs and co-working spaces. “The speed with which they innovate was unbelievable. I don’t think we really understand innovation. The innovation hubs in Shanghai are spitting out 40 ideas a day, versus we come up with 40 ideas a year.” Health and wellness was another key topic on the Shanghai agenda. Swisse and CAMP co-hosted a “Healthy China 2030: Where Innovation Meets Science” panel, delving into opportunities for business innovation and scientific research collaboration.
SYDNEY SUMMIT: SEE THE FUTURE In June, the delegates came together again, after 80 days of working online on Intersective’s Practera platform, for the Sydney Summit, where they spend a week at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), cementing their projects and, importantly, their relationships for the future. Professor Attila Brungs, UTS Vice-Chancellor and President, says that the programme helps fast-track the creation of powerful bilateral networks for entrepreneurs. “One of the aspects of UTS’ entrepreneurship focus is bringing together people from different backgrounds and perspectives. The CAMP programme does this in spades, building strong relationships into China.” With the support of the City of Sydney, CAMP took its focus on innovation to the community via a public event entitled “See the Future” at Sydney’s iconic Town Hall on June 13th, before the week culminated in teams pitching their best ideas at Town Hall in front of an audience of venture capitalists and businesses. Winning entries will be profiles in the next issue of Higher View Business.

China’s top steelmaking companies held talks with Australian experts in Beijing recently on the introduction of technology to help the country meet carbon emission targets. Among them was BHP Billiton, which is investing $9.5 million to foster carbon capture and storage knowledge and technology via Peking University. Half of the world’s steel is made in China and emissions from industry, excluding the energy sector, contribute to about a quarter of all global carbon dioxide emissions. The world’s first large-scale CCS facility at a steel plant began operating late last year in Abu Dhabi. 中国多家炼钢巨头最近在北京与澳大利亚专家进行了 会谈,探讨如何引入相关技术来帮助中国实现其碳排放 目标。 其中,必和必拓将向北京大学投资950万美元,以便研 究与碳捕获和封存相关的知识和技术。 全 球一半的钢 铁产自中国。钢 铁制造 业的二氧化碳 排放量(能源行业除外)约占全球二氧化碳总排放的四分 之一。 全球第一个为炼钢厂配套的大规模碳捕获和封存设施 去年在阿布扎比开始投入运营。

Those are the words of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, who addressed the Australia China Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum during his official visit to Australia in March. Premier Li’s visit is the most important by a Chinese leader since that of President Xi Jinping in 2014. “China will unswervingly adhere to the path of peaceful development, stands ready to make joint efforts with Australia and other countries to establish the awareness of a community of common destiny, and become the ballast of Asia-Pacific security and propeller of world peace,” Premier Li told the forum. “The two countries should actively accommodate themselves to and participate in economic globalisation,

FORUM PAVES THE WAY
Held at the Westin Hotel in Sydney on the afternoon and evening of March 24, 2017, the Australia China Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum (ACETCF) was the largest business event to take place as part of the Premier’s visit. The Forum was organised by the Australia China Business Council (ACBC) in collaboration with the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and supported by a number of generous sponsors. Themed “Innovation: New Pathways to Cooperation”, the forum also heard from Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and featured two panel sessions comprising senior Chinese and Australian business leaders. Several eminent Chinese and Australian political and industry leaders attended the event, including Premier of New South Wales Gladys Berejiklian, and other State Premiers, Chinese and Australian Ministers and Chinese Provincial Governors. One hundred and fifty Chinese business leaders, 200 Australian business leaders and 50 representatives of Chinese state-owned enterprises and private companies with a presence in Australia also attended the forum and panels.
TRADE LIBERALISATION
This year marks the 45th anniversary of China’s diplomatic ties with Australia. News agencies from both countries celebrated the visit, noting that exchanges between Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, Australian politicians and local business leaders boosted the two countries’ relations. According to Business Council of Australia CEO Jennifer Westacott Premier, Li’s visit was “timely and important”. “The two countries have reaffirmed the importance of free trade and open market, and the importance of not retreating into isolationism,” Westacott told China’s Xinhua news agency. At the ACETCF, Premier Li affirmed the strength of the Australia-China relationship. At a time of global instability, he said, our relationship is “stable and enduring” and can “withstand the tests of international vicissitudes”. 26 | H IGH ER VIEW BUSIN E S S

“我们都知道贸易保护主义的后果。贸易保护主义无法帮 助我们走出低增长的陷阱,而只会把这个陷阱挖得更深。唯 有贸易才是我们的解决之道。” 新华社报道称李克强总理对澳大利亚的访问不仅加强了 全球对于贸易促进和贸易自由化的信心,同时在中澳关系更 趋紧密的背景下,两国企业也将迎来更多的商业机遇。

“Despite the problems that can come with globalisation, humans have the wisdom and ability to find solutions.” Amid China’s 6.7% growth in 2016, two-way trade between Australia and China grew by 9%, which was higher than the GDP growth of either of the two countries. “In this way, China and Australia are helping to raise awareness that we are in a global community with a common destiny.” Premier Li added that China was eager to take the trade relationship with Australia to an even higher level of prosperity, and in this way to show the world that free trade can deliver benefits to everyone.
CHAFTA CHAMPIONS
Prime Minister Turnbull pointed to the early success of ChAFTA, with over 96% of goods trade in both directions now entering duty free or with preferential status. This has seen, for example, exports of Australian cherries increase by 86% in 2016 alone, and exports of skin care products increase by 82% in the same period. Turnbull also echoed Premier Li’s assertion that the bilateral relationship can move beyond trade to investment and innovation by noting that “President Li and I are strong believers in innovation.” “At at the very same time as China’s middle class is demanding more and better quality goods and services, Australia is striving to become more diversified and more innovative,” he said. Finally, Mr Turnbull added his voice to China’s calls to maintain and strengthen global free trade: “We know what protectionism delivers. It’s not a ladder to get out of the low growth trap. It’s a shovel to dig it deeper. We have to make the case for trade.” Xinhua news agency said Premier Li’s visit to Australia has enhanced not only global confidence in trade facilitation and liberalisation, but also business opportunities for both sides amid closer China-Australia ties.
贸易与创新 在过去的八年里,中国一直都是澳大利亚最大的贸易伙 伴。中国是 澳 大利亚商品 —— 无论是 铁 矿石还 是 红葡 萄 酒——的忠实客户,而中国向澳大利亚出口服装、电信设备 和零配件等商品。 在中澳经贸合作论坛上,李克强总理与特恩布尔总理约 定将通过世界贸易组织、亚洲太平洋经济合作会议部长会议 以及区域全面经济伙伴关系协定(RCEP)等机制共同推动 全球和区域贸易与投资的自由化。 新华社报道称:“两国也将加强‘一带一路’倡议与澳大 利亚‘北部大开发’计划的对接,以及两国创新战略之间的 合作。” “两国也将积极拓展能源资源、基础设施、农牧业和科技 创新等领域的合作。” “两国也同意加强教育、文化、旅游、安全、执法、反腐和 国防领域的交流与合作,推动联合国、G2 0、亚太经合会 议、东亚峰会以及其它双边机制层面的沟通与协调,并共同 促进世界和平、稳定与繁荣。” 能源、安全与农业 新华社报道称:除了宣布建立中澳能源部长级对话机制 之外,两国也同意建立中澳创新对话机制以及中澳高级别安 全对话机制。 “在农业领域,双方签署了《中国农业部与澳 大利亚农业和水利资源部关于实施农业合作 项目的行动计划(2017-2019)》。” 在科技合作方面, “两国同意继续在 中澳 科学与研究基金下开展 合作,分别提供最多60 0万 美元经费支持先进制造、医 疗技术与医药、资源与能源 等优先领域的合作。”

TRADE AND INNOVATION
China has been Australia’s largest trading partner for the past eight years. It is a loyal buyer of Australian goods, from iron ore to red wine. China exports clothing, telecom equipment and parts to Australia. At the ACETCF, Premier Li and Prime Minister Turnbull agreed to advancing global and regional trade and investment liberalisation through the WTO, APEC and Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Xinhua also said “The two sides will also enhance synergy between China’s Belt and Road Initiative and Vision for Developing North Australia, and between their innovation strategies. “Cooperation in energy, resources, infrastructure, agriculture, animal husbandry and scientific and technological innovation would also be expanded after the visit. “The two sides also agreed to enhance exchanges and cooperation in education, culture, tourism, security, law enforcement, anti-corruption and defence as well as at subnational levels, step up communication and coordination at the UN, G20, APEC, East Asia Summit and other multilateral institutions, and jointly promote world peace, stability and prosperity.”
ENERGY, SECURITY AND AGRICULTURE
Xinhua also reported that while announcing the establishment of the China-Australia Ministerial Dialogue on Energy, the two countries agreed to establish the China-Australia Innovation Dialogue and the China-Australia High-level Security Dialogue. “In the agricultural area, the two sides signed the Plan of Action (2017-2019) on Implementing Agricultural Cooperation Projects Between the Ministry of Agriculture of China and the Australian Department of Agriculture and Water Resources,” China’s key news agency reported.

BOOST TO BEEF EXPORTS
The Australian Financial Review (AFR) reported that the new trade agreement struck during Premier Li’s visit would see Australian beef exporters gain an additional $400 million a year and will “make Australia the first and only country to have full market access for chilled beef into the Asian megamarket.” “There are currently 47 integrated (meat processing) establishments and 23 cold stores which can export meat to China, but only 11 are permitted to export chilled meat. “The Joint Statement will expedite approval of an additional 15 Australian frozen meat establishments (11 integrated, four cold stores), and progress approvals for chilled meat export for all establishments that meet the chilled meat standard as verified by the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources,” the AFR stated. The AFR added: “the two countries [also] signed an agreement on quarantine inspection and cooperation, which Australian ministers said would significantly improve two-way agricultural trade between Australia and China, particularly for Australia’s meat exports, and promote food security and safety. “The Joint Statement will unlock a number of trade restrictions currently in place to support Australian meat and livestock exports, including advancing Australia’s access for tripe exports to China and initiating trade in donkey meat and edible skins to China. “It would also establish a protocol for the export of Australian slaughter sheep and goats.” China is already Australia’s largest sheep meat market, worth $240 million in 2016, and is our fourth largest beef market, worth $670 million in the same year.
BUSINESS LEADERS CALL FOR COLLABORATION The AFR reported that Australian business leaders at the forum said Premier Li’s visit was crucial for building relationships with Australia’s most important trading partner and building on the free trade agreement signed two-and-a-half years ago. Chinese businesses at the event reinforced the desire to work more closely with Australian companies on research and development projects, and urged both countries to look outside the traditional trade relationship. They discussed the prospect of strengthening links in agriculture, manufacturing and in the development of clean coal technology, and called for greater collaboration between universities and big business.
更大的雄心壮志 但是,根据《澳大利亚金融评 论》的报道,Christine Holgate 表示澳大利亚应当抱有更大的雄 心壮志,从中国风生水起的旅游 市场当中分得更大的一杯羹。 为实现这一目标,Holgate认 为澳大利亚政府可以简化签证申 请程序,并鼓励开发更多的六星 级酒店。 澳大利亚每年吸引逾百万中国 游客前来观光,但仅占到中国旅 游市场的1%。 在李克强总理访澳期间,澳佳 宝、澳 大利亚邮政与中国电商巨 头阿里巴巴刚刚宣布将联手利用 区块链技术来追踪出口到中国市场的产品, 籍此来打击假冒伪劣产品。 澳大利亚邮政的包裹业务负责人Bob Black向《澳大利 亚金融评论》表示:只有一小部分的澳大利亚企业向中国销 售产品;许多大企业根据没有意识到电子商务无需投入大量 资金就可以帮助他们赢得13亿的中国消费者。 Black谈到:“与大企业相比,小企业似乎更了解电子商 务。在过去,很多大企业都在海外市场折戟沉沙,因此很多 人都认为海外市场不做好。但在过去的四到五年时间里,市 场已变得越来越开放;你根本不需要到海外市场建立实体 办事处。” 创新讨论会热议科技 在主题为“科技、创新和商业化:在传统和全新产业领域 创造新的机遇”的第一场专题讨论会上,新南威尔士州大学 副校长Ian Jacobs指出了中国和澳大利亚在科研领域的三 种协同性。 他指出两国都在通过万众创新和大众自主创业来推动经 济的多元化发展。两国数十年来也在政府、机构和民间层面 建立了深厚的合作关系。此外,澳大利亚在“发现”科学领 域的不俗实力也与中国将科研成果快速转化为高科技应用 产品的强大实力甚为般配。 Jacobs教授指出:澳大利亚应当根据中国的需求来开展 研究工作,并确保各种新的研究发现能够迎合中国日新月异 的需求。 神雾科技集团的吴道洪强调称:中国需要各种新技术来 应对空气污染和固体垃圾问题。 他表示:澳大利亚拥有丰富的自然资源;两国可以在洁净 煤技术领域开展合作,并开发煤压缩新技术来降低煤的运 输成本和难度。

About 200 Australian business leaders attended the event, including Rio Tinto chief executive Jean-Sébastien Jacques, Fortescue Metals chairman Andrew Forrest and Blackmores CEO Christine Holgate. They said Australia needed to do more to capitalise on the business opportunities in China. Blackmores, which saw its business in China surge from almost zero five years ago to a volume accounting for 40% of its total business in 2016, is expecting an even stronger growth following Premier Li’ s visit.
AUSTRALIAN AMBITION COULD BE GREATER
The AFR reported that Christine Holgate said Australia should be more ambitious and target a bigger slice of the booming Chinese tourism market. Holgate went on to say that this could be done by simplifying the visa entry process and encouraging the development of more six-star hotels. Australia attracts more than one million Chinese tourists a year, which is about 1% of the country’s tourist market. At the time of premier Li’s visit, Blackmores, Australia Post and Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba had just announced a partnership aimed at cracking down on food fraud by using blockchain technology to track produce being sold into China. Australia Post’s parcels business chief Bob Black told the AFR that only a fraction of Australian companies were selling products into China and many big firms did not realise e-commerce meant they did not need to invest heavily to access the country’s 1.3 billion people. “Small businesses seem to get it more than big business. In the past so many big businesses have failed going overseas so there is this view it is very hard to do – but the market has opened in the last four to five years; you don’t actually have to have bricks and mortar there,” Black told the AFR.

INNOVATION PANEL POINTS TO TECH
At the first panel – Technology, Innovation and Commercialisation: Forging New Opportunities Across Traditional and New Sectors of Engagement – University of New South Wales Vice Chancellor Ian Jacobs identified three synergies between China and Australia in the area of research. He pointed to a shared drive in both countries to diversify their economies through mass innovation and entrepreneurship; decades worth of strong relationships at the governmental, institutional and person-to-person levels, and Australia’s strength in “discovery” science, which matches perfectly China’s ability to translate research quickly into high-tech applications. Professor Jacobs noted that it is important that Australia work to align our research with China’s needs, and maintain a pipeline of relevant new discoveries that can match the speed of China’s demands. 商道

Wu Daohuong of Shenwu emphasised China’s need for new technologies to deal with air pollution and solid waste. Given Australia’s abundance of natural resources, he said, there is potential for partnerships in clean coal technology, and in developing new ways that coal can be concentrated to make transporting it cheaper and easier.
Australia is highly trusted by the Chinese people when it comes to health care.
MEETING OF MINDS
Meanwhile, AustralianSuper Chair Heather Ridout AO urged Australian businesses to move beyond merely short-term transactional relationships with China and seek a genuine meeting of minds. She also spoke of the potential for China’s huge innovation efforts to be the spur Australia needs to foster better relationships between business and universities. Ridout emphasised the need to remove impediments such as visa restrictions in order to increase the flow of students and cooperation between academics. Liu Yonghao, Chairman of New Hope Group, spoke of the value for Chinese businesses of seeking and retaining Australian knowledge when investing into Australia. With 300 million people in the Chinese middle class by 2030, there will be a huge demand for high quality food, and Australian food quality and safety standards will be an asset in meeting this demand.
INVESTMENT PANEL REVEALS CONFIDENCE
The second panel – The Future of Bilateral Trade and Investment in a Consumption-based Globalised Economy – saw Rio Tinto CEO Jean-Sébastien Jacques express confidence in the commodities relationship between the two nations, even in the context of China’s shift to consumption-led growth. He predicted that there would, however, be a shift in the commodities relationship from volume to value. That is, the demand will be for higher-quality resources, and the winners in this environment will be those who can offer additional value. Chairman of Sinosteel Xu Siwei echoed these comments and celebrated the recent renewal of the joint venture agreement between Rio Tinto and Sinosteel, which was first signed 30 years ago. He emphasised that the success of this agreement, and of the relationship more broadly, depends on the ongoing support of both governments and on companies taking responsibility for supporting their local communities. Christine Holgate, CEO of Blackmores, noted that Australia and China are experiencing similar health challenges, with ageing populations 32 | HIGHER VIEW BUSIN E S S
and the rise of chronic diseases such as diabetes. She also noted the link between a healthy population and a prosperous one, which is well understood by the Chinese Government. “Australia is highly trusted by the Chinese people when it comes to health care – our high food and manufacturing standards are a real asset in this space,” Holgate told the forum.
SHARED VALUES
Luo Xi, Vice Chairman of China Resources (Holdings) Co., said that the high quality of health care exhibited by Australian companies such as GenesisCare, in which China Resources invested last year, is extremely valuable to a Chinese market seeking to better service an increasingly middle-class population. Finally, China Poly Group Corporation Chairman Xu Niansha assured the audience that although capital controls in China have tightened somewhat following a rapid drop in foreign reserves, China will, as Premier Li made clear, continue to support trade and investment between Australia and China. “Investors may be more selective with regards to the quality of the projects in which they invest,” Xu said.
DEEPER, MORE MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS
With his concluding words, ACBC President John Brumby said one of the key outcomes of the forum was the opportunity to build deeper and more meaningful relationships at government-to-government and business-to-business levels. “With over 400 Australian and Chinese Business leaders in attendance, the forum was an excellent opportunity to build meaningful business connections,” Brumby said. “The decision to establish a Ministerial Dialogue for Innovation between Australia and China is an important development in this context. “As highlighted throughout the forum, innovation is key for both countries to build a stronger economic future. China is set to soon become the largest spender on R&D, and by forming strong research partnerships both Australia and China stand to benefit.”

supported by the Australia China Business Council, supported dialogue, openness and discussion, not just of the benefits of collaboration but of challenges that mature the bond between Australia and China. These are some of the key takeaways of the summit:
CULTURAL STRENGTHS
Rising income levels and continued demand for food security in China is highlighting the importance of consistently bringing in high-quality produce and related services. “China simply cannot produce enough on its own,” said event speaker Dr Hwa Erh-Cheng, Chief Economist of Baoshang Bank Limited (Baoshang). However, according to Dr Hwa, “an equally important part of this food chain to China is more than the supply of food, it’s the provision of finance to the supply chain. “Innovation in banking is not only necessary but it ensures financial assistance is given to the full food supply chain, all the way from production to point of sale.” Baoshang, a city commercial bank based in Baotou in the Inner Mongolia autonomous

In addition to modern risk management principles, Baoshang also profiles its customers, making cultural recognition part of the decision. For example, having genuinely become involved with the borrower’s business and family, the bank is able to take into consideration the great importance of the borrower’s intention to pay, as well as its cash flow analysis. Family loyalty, a habit of saving and investing for the future of the next generation are strong elements of the Chinese culture. The demonstration of these cultural strengths greatly underpins Baoshang’s extension of financial assistance to these micro businesses. 商道

CONSUMER INSIGHT
Australia’s many start-ups, especially in the financial sector, can greatly benefit from such deep insight. A good fintech company that marries a deep level of cultural understanding and recognition with its business credentials can propel itself to a great fintech company that works in China. Li Bing, Chairman of Beijing Card Union Technology, further added to the point that the spirit of co-innovation is not merely the responsibility of government policies. Integration begins with industries, driven by businesses and entrepreneurs who understand and have insights into the needs of consumers. Cultural recognition therefore may be businesses’ only insurance for continued adaptability to China, a country that is undergoing a cultural and economic rebalancing and transformation of opening its doors to the world after 40 years. Li Zhen Xi, Chairman of Baoshang, said the high demand for and the use of internet in China, particularly among its millennials, is changing the finance industry. Loan applications are turning around more quickly, while opening an account and making transactions can now be done from places far away from branches and cities. China’s transformation is quicker than any of the developed countries and its cultural shift will post challenges to businesses, Australia’s included, that either miss or are unaware of it.

“Joint venture partnership (JV) is the next model,” declared the Hon. Andrew Robb, another speaker at the event. Robb said that many of Australia’s services are world class, yet services exports are still low. Australia has a lot to offer China in terms of services like healthcare, the training of doctors and nurses, and workers in aged and home care, education and self-development. “We can also offer business skills, concepts and cultures for entrepreneurs and the application of technology in solving environmental issues, development of agriculture, biotech and much more,” Robb said. “There is much to be shared; technical knowledge, intellectual property and experience. However, investments are needed to further nurture them, adapt and integrate into the cultures and local nuances of China.” Finding the right partner to grow with is not just a matter of financial considerations,

In fact, according to Zheng Jinqiao, Chairman of Richlink Capital Group, “there is new capital available for investments in China from the savings of the middle class and insurance companies.” But partnering with a strategic investor requires a different strategy. Wang Zhulin, Chairman of Yinhua Fund Management, pointed to the “Pearl Model of Change”, which describes a partnership growing “little by little, step by step” in the same way a beautiful natural pearl is formed in nature by layers and layers of fluid nacre coating. However, the process of transformation into a natural pearl does not begin until a foreign substance or irritant slips into the oyster shell. “Anxiety about working in and with foreign cultures and practices” is natural, Wang says, but it is “exactly the substance needed to

HIGH TECH FARMING
The use of the internet in farming is also meeting the need for food security in China. Consumers want to know where their food comes from, the soil it was planted in and the quality of water used for irrigation. Confidence is further boosted by innovation in technology and financing such as a one-year-in-advance prepayment “credit card” for food from Aka Holdings, a company founded in Beijing, which allows consumers to order directly from the farm. Agritech is an important part of food security. Prevention of bacteria and diseases in crops, controlling direct sunlight and rain and process automation all require the use of technology and innovation, which in turn increase the profitability of farmers. “AKA’s role in this food chain is not only in the delivery of food from farm to plate for consumers but also its ambition to deliver directly from the farms of Australia to the kitchens of everyday households in China,” says its Chairwoman, Dr Jiang Yuhong. The internet allows consumers to not only order and purchase from their mobile phones but to track the source of the food they are buying from, anywhere in the world.

ew research from Westpac and the University of Sydney titled Domestic Services: the Unsung Heroes of our China Export Story reveals “tried and true” wisdom about the importance of Australia’s export of services into China, but misses a large and very important part of the equation. According to the paper, Australian services exports to China have grown 10% per year over the past five years. China is Australia’s largest export market for services at a value of approximately AUD$10 billion, accounting for 12% of our total exports to China. “The services sector is a key part of the Australian economy. It represents 70% of Australia’s economic activity and, according to DFAT, accounts for 20.9% of Australia’s total exports,” the paper states. “Similarly in China, the contribution of services has doubled from 2010 to 2015 and now accounts for 51% of GDP and 4.1% of total imports.” Accounting for 87% of our services exports

to China, education and other travelrelated services are well-recognised as the most significant and “celebrated” aspect of the Australia-China export story. Together they earn more export revenue than coal or other non-ferrous mining or food and beverage exports. Meanwhile, services such as finance, health and aged care are growing from a relatively low basis, so make up a much smaller share of Australia’s exports to China. Despite considerable growth potential as new markets open in China, the paper points out that the realisation of this potential depends on pioneering Australian and Chinese companies to conceive and build these markets. However, the research paper contends that domestic services, defined as the value-added services embedded in our exports of goods and services, for example, as intermediates in agriculture, manufacturing and merchandise exports, are the fastest-growing component of world trade. 商道

Westpac International General Manager Balaji Swaminathan asserts that the link between Australia’s domestic services and the value they add to Australia’s relationship with China is an important measure of national prosperity that is often overlooked. “While we cannot underplay the importance of tourism, education and the growing demand for healthcare services, it is important to understand the bigger contribution coming from the service inputs into manufacturing, raw produce, minerals, food and livestock,” he says. 44 | HIGHER VIEW BUSIN E S S
“Services such as quality controls, quarantine, transport, logistics, packaging, cold storage and anti-tampering technology all come into this equation. “Clearly this has important implications for Australia’s prosperity and fostering strong trade relationships with the growing economies in Asia.” Using estimates built on 2015 Australian trade data and ratios constructed from the latest OECD Trade in Value-Added (TiVA) 2011 database, the Westpac-University of Sydney research finds that in 2015, Australian domestic services accounted for 28% of value added in Australia’s total export of goods and services to China, amounting to AUD$25.9 billion. “In other words, for each dollar worth of total Australian exports to China, 28 cents of the value added are contributed by domestic services,” says Swaminathan. “This compares to AUD$9.8 billion worth of direct services to China in 2015, which is largely related to travel-related services and education.” 商道
但是,这份研究报告认为国内服务——澳大 利亚商品和服务出口贸易当中所附带的一些增 值服务,比如农业、制造业和商品出口贸易当中 的中间商——是全球贸易活动当中增长最快的 组成部分。 西太平洋国际银行总经理Balaji Swaminathan表示:澳大利亚国内服务及其 给澳中关系所带来的增加值之间的关联性是衡 量国家繁荣的一项重要指标,而这个指标经常 受到我们的忽视。 他表示:“虽然我们不能低估旅游、教育以 及日益增长的医疗服务需求的重要性,但最重 要的是要了解与制造业、初级产品、矿产、食品 和畜牧等行业产出相关的服务业所做出的更大 贡献。” “诸如质量控制、检疫、运输、物流、包装、 冷藏和防伪技术之类的服务均属于这类重要 领域。” “显而易见,在推动澳大利亚的繁荣发展以 及 加强与亚洲新兴经济体之间的贸易联系方 面,服务业的重要性不容小觑。” 根据2015年的澳大利亚贸易数据以及经合 发组织最新贸易增加值数据库(2011年)所计 算出的相关比率,西太平洋银行与悉尼大学的 这项研究发现:2015年期间澳大利亚国内服务 占到澳大利亚对华商品和服务出口总额当中增 加值部分的28%,达到259亿澳元。 Swaminathan指出: “换而言之,在澳大利 亚对华出口贸易的每一美元当中,有20%的增 加值系由国内服务所贡献。” “与之成鲜明对比的是2015年期间澳大利亚 对华直接服务出口总额达到98亿澳元,绝大部 分与旅游服务以及教育相关。” 该研究报告详尽阐述了在所有主要出口行业 背后提供默默支持的各项国内基础服务。 在不同的行业当中,农业的增值服务占比最 高,达到27%,紧随其后的是制造业(26%)以 及商品出口(21%)。 该报告当中提到:“在对华农产品出口贸易 中所赚到的每一澳元当中,各种增值服务就占 到了27%的比重;它们为农业生产提供了各种 必要的投入——从种子到牲畜饲料,从不动产 到专业的商业和研究服务,从运输到冷藏,再 到保险、金融、银行等等,不一而足。” “该领域还出现了一些颠覆性的服务,比如 数字农业服务以及可以对产品进行追溯的精密 农业;这些都是显著增强澳大利亚出口能力的 各种创新技术之一。” 这项研究亦指出“制造、专业服务、研究、不 动产以及设备租赁等产业部门的贡献度与建立 供应商网络的批发零售链的贡献度不相伯仲; 紧随其后的是金融、保险以及其它金融服务和 物流服务。” “这些服务对于澳大利亚在制造出口贸易当 中保持竞争力至为重要,目前在澳大利亚对华 出口贸易的每一美元当中占到26%的比重。在 总体商品出口方面,服务在贸易增加值当中占 到五分之一的比重。”

The research paper also reveals an elaborate domestic services infrastructure in all major export sectors. Drilling down to different industries, agriculture is shown to have the highest value-added services component with 27%, followed by manufacturing with 26% and goods export with 21%. “The value-added services that contribute 27 cents to every dollar earned in agricultural exports to China relate to the infrastructure that provides inputs into rural production from seeds to animal feed, real estate to professional business and research services, transport to cold storage, insurance, finance, banking to mention the major ones,” the paper documents. “Among the disruptors in this area are digital agriculture services and precision agriculture, with digital traceability of produce just one example of innovative technologies that have enhanced our export capabilities.” The research also shows that manufacturing, professional services, research, real estate and renting of equipment contribute approximately the same proportion as the wholesale and retail chain, which provides access to supplier networks, followed by finance, insurance and other financial services and logistics.
“Crucial for our competitiveness in manufacturing exports, these services currently contribute 26 cents to every export dollar to China. In overall goods exports, services account for one-fifth of value added.” Of particular interest in terms of goods exports is that R&D and business services make up more than one-third of the services contribution.

KEY RESEARCH FINDINGS • 2015 trade data and a breakdown constructed from the OECD TiVA database finds services such as transport, storage, communication, financial intermediation, trade, business services and research in total contributed more to our export volume than the direct services export. • The contribution of domestic services to our exports makes our cooperation with China more resilient and less vulnerable to potential fluctuations in specific markets such as resources or education and tourism. • Compared to its share of product exports, Australia is not yet exporting a huge amount of services to our overseas trade partners, yet services are contributing a lot more to the production story than previously understood. • S ervices account for 60% of Australia’s GDP and 17% of Australian total exports in 2015. In China, services have doubled from 2010 to 2015 and now account for 51% of GDP and 4.1% of total imports. • Over the same period, Australian services exports to China have grown 10% per year, making China our largest export market for services at a volume of AUD$10 billion and accounting for 12% of our total exports to China. • When talking about services trade with China, we generally only refer to the tip of the iceberg. There is another story to tell apart from direct services exports like tourism, education and healthcare.

The research clearly identifies that valueadded services increasingly have a dynamic of their own, as their contribution keeps rising even when merchandise exports are fluctuating. “Our figures show that services interaction with China is deeper and our services industries are more embedded in our export structure than can be seen from the direct services exports alone,” Swaminathan says. “Stronger bilateral relations and integration with China is translating to growth of higher value-added service industries, leading to innovation and the transfer of service capabilities across industries. “More open trade with China has diversified Australia’s exports and domestic service sector, making it more competitive and resilient to the ever-changing global trade landscape,’ he says.
“Australian businesses have unprecedented direct access to Chinese consumers.” Swaminathan adds that Australia has a natural advantage when it comes to domestic services. “The perception of Australia as a provider of clean, green and healthy products for Chinese consumers is supported by big data capture, traceability and sophisticated infrastructure from farm to smartphone,” he says. “The sophistication and improvements across our manufacturing sector as well as our resources exports have been led by digitisation and constant innovation.” He says this is well-suited for the average Chinese consumer. “Two-thirds of China’s online payments happen on mobile phones, contributing to an online retail market worth roughly US$889 billion. “This has been enhanced by the adoption of smartphones and the Internet of Things, which have led to the proliferation of innovation and disruption across China’s service industries. “Add this to the rise of e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba and Tencent, and Australian businesses have unprecedented direct access to Chinese consumers.” Swaminathan says rebalancing in China is a transition that increasingly fulfils its own 46 | HIGHER VIEW BUSIN E S S
services needs through domestic sources. “For Australian companies, looking to compete against home-grown Chinese services becomes a question of innovation, connecting through digital and e-commerce platforms, and finding sectors where one has a strong point of difference. “In an economic environment characterised by innovation and disruption, only services ensure adaptability, competitiveness and sustainability across all export industries: • Adaptability. Increasing the services component in production makes our merchandise exports more adaptable to innovation, market disruption and changing consumer demands. Services enable merchandise production and services provision to flexibly cater for changing consumer and producer demands. • Competitiveness. Building new competitive advantages in services reduces our reliance on resources-based comparative advantages. Services make Australian exporters more responsive to global competitors who rely on the scope and sophistication of their services. Sophisticated services create entry barriers to domestic industries. 商道
在商品出口方面,最值得一提的是研发和商 务服务在服务业出口当中占到了三分之一以上 的比重。 该项研究显示:各种增值服务已逐渐闯出自 己的一方天地;即便在商品出口有波动的情况 之下,它们所占的比重依然呈现出上升态势。 Swaminathan表示:“我们的数据显示澳 大利亚与中国之间的服务互动日益加深;与直 接服务出口相比,我们的各项服务产业在出口 结构当中更为根深蒂固。” “澳大利亚与中国之间所建立的更紧密双边关 系正在推动着一系列高附加值服务产业的发展, 带动了各行各业的创新以及服务能力的转移。” 他表示:“澳大利亚与中国之间更为开放的 贸易往来推动了澳大利亚出口贸易和国内服务 业的多元化发展,提升了竞争力,并令其更能适 应千变万化的全球贸易环境。” Swaminathan补充表示澳大利亚在国内服 务方面有着与生俱来的优势。 他提到: “中国消费者将澳大利亚视为清洁、 绿色和健康产品的代名词,而大数据采集、可 追溯性以及从农场到智能手机普及等基础设施 的完善更令澳大利亚产品如虎添翼。” “数字化以及持续创新带动了制造业以及资 源出口行业的日臻成熟和完善。” 他表示这一点尤为吸引大部分的中国消费者。 “中国三分之二的线上付款都是通过手机来 完 成;移动 支付为线 上零 售 市场 贡 献了大 约 8,890亿美元的销售额。” “智能手机和物联网的普及进一步加强了这 种趋势,从而带动了中国服务业越来越多的创 新和突破。” “借助阿里巴巴和腾讯等电商平台的崛起, 澳大利亚企业亦在以前所未有的方式走向中国 消费者。” Swaminathan认为:中国的再平衡战略就 是通过国内资源来逐渐满足自身的服务需求。 “对于澳大利亚企业而言,与中国本土服务

• Sustainability. A dynamic services sector enables the building and transfer of service capabilities across service industries, from domestic markets into export markets and vice versa. For an economy with limited resources such as Australia, capacity building and facilitating spill-overs across industries are crucial for accessing new markets and integration in emerging supply and value chains. “These points are particularly important for surviving and remaining relevant to an economy like China that is finding a new balance through innovation and disruption,” Swaminathan says. “Bear in mind that China is not only an end-user market but also a conduit to global value chains – so doing well in China will leave Australian exporters stronger and more competitive in global markets.” In summary, Swaminathan argues that China’s economic rebalancing is generating greater demand for serviceintensive goods and products. “The increasing ‘servicification’ of product value chains in Australia secures our reputation for quality consumer goods, high-end manufacturing, premium agricultural products and tourism and education,” he says. “As economic power continues to shift from west to east, the impact of Australia’s proximity and connectivity with China will expand across business, industry and broader society. This should build confidence in the broader value to Australia’s economy that comes with free trade with China. “As these flows grow in volume and connectivity, the biggest opportunity evolving for our customers in China is happening right here in Australia.” To find out more about Westpac in Asia visit www.westpac.asia/sydneyforum

he miraculous narrative of China’s progress as a country that has dragged itself from a third world status to today’s economic powerhouse has been the greatest, most awe-inspiring economic success story of our generation. Since the 1990s China quadrupled its one million kilometres of highways and built a high-speed rail network from scratch, which it plans to extend to 30,000 kilometres by 2020. The sheer size of the stations, their efficient management and the fast trains that run up to speeds of 300 kilometres per hour are a testament to China's extraordinary infrastructure build over the past two decades – which has become representative of the country's rapid economic development and improved living standards across the country. 50 | H IGH ER VIEW BUSIN E S S

The Australian economy is attractive in a variety of ways, but it faces losing its market share due to lack of infrastructure investment. Partnering with China could be the beneficial answer for both parties, writes Darryl Judd. 达里·贾德认为:澳大利亚经济在诸多方面颇具吸引力,但由于基础设施投资的匮乏,澳大利亚吸引 外资的市场份额被不断蚕食。与中国就此领域扩大合作或是一个对双方互利双赢的解决之道。 ONE BELT ONE ROAD
In keeping with its long-term view, China’s "Belt and Road Initiative" is an ambitious plan. The Chinese government has called on countries along the proposed routes to establish a secure and efficient network of land, sea and air passages, lifting their connectivity to a higher level. Already examples of China's infrastructure success with the "Belt and Road" abound – from a new deep-water port in Kenya to railways throughout East Africa and roads and hospitals in Guinea-Bissau. The figures are vastly unfathomable, with the ExportImport Bank of China contributing trillions in financing, including direct investment, soft loans and commercial loans. The amount of money invested into Asian infrastructure between 2015 and 2025 will be worth about 60% of the world's
infrastructure spending. According to PwC and Oxford Economics, in roads alone the Philippines, aided by Chinese investment, will increase its infrastructure spending by about 300% between 2010 and 2025, and China by about 250%. In fact, many countries in Asia, in particular, seem to be competing for Chinese investment. Projections by the OECD suggest that Asia's share of the global middle class will grow from around 35% in 2015 to 80% by 2050. The result is that the long-term strategic partnership with China is fast pacing the development of the Asia market compared with Australia. While the Australian economy is attractive, it is losing its market share due to lack of infrastructure investment.

Australia is well placed, as even though it is home to only 0.3% of the world's population, its GDP accounts for 1.7% of the world's economy. However, the imposition of short-term policy windows – as a result of changing governments and lack of bipartisan support – means that investment in infrastructure has suffered. As a result, there is a long-term neglect of significant asset investment and a lack of cohesion and strategy in infrastructure management. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, China now ranks as Australia's fifth largest investor, with 4% of investment stock. It sits behind the United States (24%), the United Kingdom (13%), Japan (10%) and the Netherlands (6%), equal to Singapore (4%) and ahead of Canada (3%). Mining remains on China's investment agenda.

government is impressive, it comes nowhere near that of China. This may be why the country was not included in initial versions of the One Belt One Road Strategy when it was initially announced in 2013, even though Asia presently represents ten of Australia's top 12 export markets. There is an urgent need for investment and a comprehensive National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy to guide infrastructure investment and reform, if Australia is to realise its place as a competitive Asian Trade Partner. Mark Birrell is the chairman of Infrastructure Australia, and he says that greater foresight will be essential when it comes to infrastructure planning in order for Australia to have a thriving economy over the long term. “Infrastructure has to be developed and planned with a long-term focus,” he says, “avoiding the problems of previous election campaigns where projects were developed in isolation and the needs of infrastructure users gained little publicity.” Australia’s infrastructure problems are only going to increase.

ROAD FREIGHT
As a major producer and exporter of bulk commodities and other merchandise, Australia expects road freight to grow by 50% and rail freight to increase by 67% by 2030. Rail freight growth is driven by continued growth in mineral and agricultural exports, and demand for consumer goods driven by population growth. Domestically, Australia is experiencing unprecedented population growth, with the country on target to expand to more than 30 million people by 2031. This will mean that the population of Australia's four largest cities, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, will increase by close to 50%. 商道

According to PwC and Oxford Economics, in roads alone the Philippines, aided by Chinese investment, will increase its infrastructure spending by about 300% between 2010 and 2025. Total domestic land freight is expected to grow to service this population by 80% between 2011 and 2031. As favourable as this sounds, such rapid growth may result in increasing major transport disruption and delays if there is not an equal investment in land freight infrastructure. It is critical that this is addressed, as the annual cost of congestion in capital cities could exceed $53 billion by 2031, up from $13.7 billion in 2011. Domestically, the majority of economic activity occurs in the country's major cities, according to the Australia Infrastructure Audit, which found they contributed $854 billion to the economy in 2011 and are projected to add $1,621 billion in 2031.

desperately needed to increase capacity and better manage domestic demand. The Australian Logistics Council has estimated that the logistics industry contributes close to 14.5% of GDP annually. Spending on infrastructure in this area will, therefore, have a compounded benefit on the Australian economy.
铁路货运 通过铁路运输的货物比重保持稳定,但在澳 大利亚一些重要港口城市却呈现出下降趋势。 这个事实与未来12年内货运量将会翻番的预测 形成鲜明对比。因此,如果澳大利亚不采取任 何措施的话,到2020年之时,拥堵将带来20 0 亿美元的成本;根据荷银集团的最新报告,未 来10年内澳大利亚将需要投入3,800-4,550亿 美元的资金用于建设各种公共基础设施。
RAIL
The percentage of freight carried on rail is static or declining as far as Australia's capital city ports are concerned. This is juxtaposed with the well-documented projection that the freight task is expected to double in the next 12 years or so. As a result, congestion is set to cost $20 billion by 2020 if no action is taken and, according to the latest ABN Amro report, between $380 billion and $455 billion will have to be spent on public infrastructure over the next ten years.
SHIPPING
Australia is not prepared to cope with forecast challenges, given major container terminals such as Melbourne are already reaching capacity.

challenge the current decline of general cargo and standard user berths in many capital city ports, even though shipping is by far one of the most environmentally friendly forms of transport on a per tonne-kilometre basis. Upgrading the logistics chain between port and rail, as well as developing better handling facilities at the berth, are vitally necessary and overdue. Investing in ports is the critical means of participating in the region's wider growth.
THE OPPORTUNITIES
To meet this need, Australia is leading the world in the way it engages with private sector investment to fulfil major capital works. The Australian Government has committed over A$50 billion for current and future infrastructure investments for the period 2013-14 to 2019-20 onwards to address the improvements required for Australia to remain competitive. This investment is combined with contributions from government and the private sector. If the country does not rapidly catch up with the advancements being made by its competitors in the Asia Region who have already partnered successfully with Chinese investors to create more efficient price points and services, it will lose its market standing in the region. There is some debate as to whether Australia can close the gap in time to meet the rate of demand in the Asia Region. In its 2016 report, Infrastructure Australia stated that by 2031, Asia would represent about two-thirds of the world's middle-class population, creating a massive demand for Australian produce and skills. If Australia is to take advantage of this growth, it needs to be infrastructure ready.

Partnering between China and Australia will forge a mutual advantage to meet the service requirements of these new consumers. Such a collaboration would enable Australia to fund its gap in logistics infrastructure and overhaul these at a pace that would ensure it is ready to take advantage of the stratospheric opportunities that lie ahead in a growing market, while China would benefit from a solid source of investment return.

As an island nation, Australia is dependent on well-functioning seaports and airports to trade with the world. Its economic competitiveness is closely linked to the quality of its national supply chain infrastructure, its ports, railways, roads and airports. They connect Australian goods and services to domestic and overseas markets. The increasingly wealthy and demanding consumers in countries such as Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and China want high-quality products, including fresh produce, as quickly and as cheaply as possible.

isk management as a function still has a long way to go across Asia Pacific (APAC). So says Stacey Huang, Executive Director of the Pan-Asia Risk and Insurance Management Association (PARIMA), a not-for-profit professional organisation that operates out of 15 countries spanning China to India and Japan to the Philippines and Indonesia. “There is a common perception that Asia is less mature in risk management compared to our western counterparts in Europe, US and Australia,” Huang says, “but we are growing, developing our standards and stepping up to raise our risk maturity.” In this environment, Huang says China is increasingly hungry to develop and strengthen its risk management practices.

Chinese risk managers are increasingly concerned about emerging and growing risks such as cybercrime, business interruption and digital disruption. “China’s domestic economy is growing strongly but businesses haven’t prioritised an investment in developing risk management standards. Companies are finding they aren’t compliant with their suppliers and clients [in terms of risk management practice], so something needs to be done.”
LEARNING FROM THE BEST
Given its proximity to APAC, and its place in the evolution of risk management standards, Huang says PARIMA is seeking partnership opportunities in Australia to help develop a better appreciation of the profession in China and the region overall. “Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand jointly developed AS/NZS 4360:2004, which was the precursor for ISO 31000:2009, the international risk management standard,” Huang says. “Meanwhile, places like Hong Kong and Singapore became business hubs for global and large corporations to develop their presence in Asia. This means there is greater pressure for the region to be compliant and have more robust risk management practices. “PARIMA’s strategy is to provide a common platform for Chinese risk managers to allow for greater interaction and cross learning within the APAC market. That is what PARIMA is for and why we exist.” A partnership recently created with ANZIIF, a leading Australian insurance educational and membership body with a presence in China, is therefore seen as a great asset. “PARIMA and ANZIIF agree risk managers require certain fundamentals of good governance, enterprise risk management (ERM) and risk financing,” Huang says. “They must also understand risk frameworks, reporting and how to operate in the supply chain. On top of that we want risk managers to comply with an ethical code of practice the same way lawyers and accountants do.” 58 | HIGHER VIEW BUSIN E S S
SUCCESS BREEDS SUCCESS
Born and educated in Singapore, Huang began her career as a management consultant helping businesses with transformation and growth initiatives. “My projects exposed me to various industries and I have worked closely with companies in the FMCG, finance, healthcare and government sector,” she says. “Although I have worked and lived in many countries from Africa to the UK and Europe, I still firmly believe in Asia’s growth and potential, which prompted me to return back to Asia four years ago.” Huang has always been intrigued by success stories. When she was approached by PARIMA to help roll out its development and expansion strategy, she jumped at the opportunity. “PARIMA is dedicated to elevating risk management as a profession,” Huang says. “We aim to strengthen and enhance the culture of risk management by creating opportunities for education and dialogue within the community. “I was inspired by the chance to contribute to PARIMA’s growing success and help build the identity of risk management professionals in China and across APAC.”

massive and complex, enjoying robust growth, with many economies and even individual cities developing extremely rapidly in the past five to ten years. Huang argues that APAC countries have higher risks compared with western countries, yet the region has the biggest protection gap. “Look at the Lloyd’s City Risk Index or Swiss Re’s Protection Gap studies,” she says. “Half the world's GDP at risk is in Asia. The top four cities with the world’s largest exposures are also in Asia. “At the same time, you see a widening protection gap estimated at US$58 trillion in the region. These are clear indices that emphasise how, as a region, [Asia is] quite exposed and unprepared.” As examples, Huang points to disasters such as the 2015 explosion in Tianjin and the Thailand floods of 2011, where payouts mostly went to global and foreign companies. “The local small businesses were unprotected and suffered a great deal,” she says. “Many failed to recover. They were either bought out or forced to go to the government, which became a big tax on the local economy. “Compared to the foreign companies, they were much slower to get back to the market. We can be better at this.”
INSURANCE-AVERSE CULTURE
Huang says the situation can partly be explained by the way Asia Pacific cultures, including China, view insurance as a cost rather than a necessity. “Historically, the concept of insurance has never been well received in the Asian culture,” she says. “As a result, there is a tendency not to trust it, handin-hand with misconceptions about its value.” On top of this, Chinese risk managers are increasingly concerned about emerging and growing risks such as cybercrime, business interruption and digital disruption but there are no adequate solutions for mitigating against such risks. “At the same time, they are experiencing increasing pressure by regulators to be more compliant, especially as businesses expand overseas,” Huang says. “Companies in China, and more specifically risk managers, are given the complex task of protecting their organisation amidst an uncertain and evolving environment. “It is highly complicated to navigate and steer organisations these days, which calls for risk management to rise beyond compliance, and audit to be more strategic and ingrained within businesses.” 商道
亚太地区的保障缺口 一个众所周知的事实就是,亚太地区 大而复杂,并且经济增长较快;许多经济体 乃至一些城市在过去的5 -10年期间都经历了 高速增长。 Huang认为与西方国家相比,亚太国家面临 着更高的风险,但亚太地区存在着最大的保障 缺口。 她提到: “只需看看劳埃德城市风险指数,或 者瑞士再保险公司的保障缺口研究报告,我们 便能知道其中的端倪。” “全球有一半”的高危GDP来自亚洲。全球 风险最大的“四大城市”也位于亚洲。 “与此同时,亚洲地区的保障缺口正在不断 扩大,共计达到58万亿美元左右。各种各样的 指数清晰地反映出亚洲地区是如何地高危且毫 无防备。” H u a n g 举了2 015 年的天 津 爆炸事件以 及 2011年的泰国洪灾为列,大部分拿到保险赔款 的都是一些国际企业和外国企业。 她指出: “当地小企业并没有购买任何保障, 因此蒙受了巨大的损失。” “ 许 多企 业因此一 蹶 不振。它们 要 么被收 购,要么被收归国有,成为向当地经济征收的一 笔重税。” “与外国企 业相比,他 们回归市场 的 脚 步 则要慢上许多。在这一方面,我们完全可以做得 更好。” 与文化相悖的保险 Huang指出这种局面一部分要归咎于亚太 地区的文化;包括中国在内的很多国家都将保 险视为一项成本,而非一项必要的保障。 她指出: “从历史上看,亚洲文化从来就没有 待见过保险这个概念。”

Huang says that will be the key challenge for the entire APAC region, where there is no standardised job title, job description or even pay grade for risk managers. “Our PARIMA members have various job titles such as CEO, COO, CFO, Chief of Security, Head of Risk, Special Projects and Compliance,” she says. “They are all responsible for risk management in their company, yet they are labelled differently. You would not have the same problem with other professions such as finance or HR. “We need to reach a stage where people start valuing the role of risk managers and understand what they do, where they fit in the organisation and what makes a good risk manager. “Certification is just one of the ways we can get there.” While there has been some traction in Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong, there is still a journey for other regions such as China and Indonesia. “For China it’s about making sure that risk-management professionals become recognised as experts, and gain credibility and respect in their field,” Huang says. “The accreditation achieved from the PA-CRP course enables professionals as individuals and within a broader community to show evidence of their commitment to maintaining standards to a high level in their practice. Ultimately this will be of benefit to everyone.” 商道

But in a diverse nation like China, which boasts 1.39 billion people and counting, zeroing in on consumers’ needs can be anything but easy. According to Tim Trumper, who is an advisor to Australia’s leading data and analytics company Quantium, an applied analytics revolution is transforming the way we understand consumers and society as a whole.

And with machine learning, a growing area within the field of artificial intelligence (AI) in which software, when fed large amounts of data, can mimic the human brain’s ability to learn, accuracy will get better and better. “Quantium is a long way along the experience curve in helping Fortune 500 companies around the world embrace the data revolution,” Trumper says. “We are helping organisations embed analytics and artificial intelligence to not just better understand their customers but to re-shape their industries.” 商道

Quality data, applied intelligently, will be the key success factor for most businesses.
WHAT IS DATA ANALYTICS?
Whether it’s big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning or applied analytics, there are plenty of buzzwords in vogue as consultants seek to carve out a niche in a fast-growing field. “At Quantium we’ve been a pure play at the vanguard of data analytics for more than 13 years,” Trumper says. “We have posted rapid growth and we are now a global leader with 600 staff in Australia, India, New Zealand and South Africa – and we are growing, with strong interest from clients in Asia and North America.” Over that time, despite the proliferation of new terms coined, Trumper says the fundamentals haven’t changed. It’s about curating quality data at scale and using the best available data scientists and technology platforms to put it to work. Combining the best of human and artificial intelligence, if you like. “At Quantium our goal is to bring to life our credo: Data Powering Possibilities. Our work helps redesign products, systems and services. It has the potential to completely re-shape entire industries and societies for the better.”
WOOLWORTHS TAKES UP THE MANTLE
To understand the potential competitive advantage data analytics might afford a business, it’s pertinent to note that Australia’s leading supermarket chain, Woolworths Group, has placed its faith in Quantium, with the
Australian Financial Review reporting it had taken a 50% stake in the organisation, reportedly worth over $AUD200 million. To breathe new life into its once struggling customer loyalty programme, Woolworths is now utilising Quantium’s solutions to deliver tailored, focused communications to shoppers. Quoted in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, the retail giant’s director of customer loyalty and data Ingrid Maes said the conversion rate was so good the new system “paid for itself in less than three months”. “Woolworths approached Quantium with a challenge,” Tim Trumper says. “Marketers typically use demographics to communicate with consumers based on the behaviours of a group of people ‘like them'. Many say they are marketing one-on-one because they are sending individual e-mails to segments of customers – but this is not genuine personalisation. “Our client [Woolworths] wanted to personalise communications to up to 9.7 million loyalty programme members based on their unique personal buying history and predictions of what they are likely to buy in the future.” 商道
质数据并利用最优秀的数据科学家和技术平台 令其发挥作用。如果您愿意的话,您可以将最 优秀的人力资源与最强的人工智能合二为一。 “在Quantium,我们的目标是饯行以下信 条:数据创造无限可能。我们的工作是帮助客 户重新设计产品、系统和服务,并极有可能彻 底改善和重塑整个产业和社会。” Woolworths承接衣钵 数据分析可以为企业带来潜在的竞争优势。 澳大利亚知名连锁超市集团Woolworths就对 Quantium抱以巨大的信心;根据《澳大利亚 金融评论》的报道,Woolworths收购了后者 50%的股权,总价值超过2亿澳元。 为了让曾经举步维艰的顾客忠诚度计划重新 焕 发 生 机 ,W o o l w o r t h s 当 前 正 在 利 用 Quantium的解决方案向购物者推送量身订制 的购物资讯。根据《悉尼先驱晨报》的报道,这 家零售巨头的顾客忠诚度和数据主管I ng r id Maes表示由于新系统的转化率很高,故而该 系统“不到三个月时间即能收回成本”。 Tim Trumper表示: “Woolworths是带着一 个难题找到Quantium的。” “市场营销人员通常都是根据一群与顾客‘ 相似’之人的行为与顾客保持联络。许多人认为 这种行为就是一对一营销,因为营销人员是向 某个顾客群体发送单独定制的电子邮件,但这 并非真正的个性化营销。 H I G H E R V I EW B U SINESS | 6 3

“我们的客户(Woolworths)希望根据970 万忠诚度计划会员的个人购物历史来推送个性 化的资讯,并预测他们未来所会购买的商品。 500万种选择 Trumper表示:Quantium“优秀的数据科 学家们”已打造出一台强大的处理引擎,其能 够在一秒钟时间内基于数百种不同变量在4.5 万种商品当中做出50 0万种选择,同时又能通 过每种选择不断学习。 他指出: “换而言之,如果我们可以接管世界 上每个人的选择权,则他们每秒要做出15种选 择才能跟上这台引擎的速度。” 这种计算能力在实践当中可以为我们带来什 么呢?

FIVE MILLION DECISIONS
Trumper says Quantium’s “talented data scientists” created an engine capable of making five million decisions a second in respect of 45,000 products against hundreds of independent variables while learning from each decision. “To put it another way, if we were to harness the decision-making power of every person in the world, they would need to make fifteen decisions every second just to keep up,” he says.
WHAT DOES ALL THIS COMPUTATIONAL POWER DELIVER IN PRACTICE?
“It has created a unique, personalised catalogue sent to each member, each week,” Trumper explains. “And it sends personal offers directly to millions of individual shoppers based on trillions of data points to precisely predict what products are most relevant at that moment to the customer.” And the results are very pleasing. “Customers are more engaged, as the relevance of messages they receive has increased,” Trumper says. “This is the frontier of data and analytics, and brings to life William Gibson’s famous maxim; ‘The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed’. “Smart Chinese businesses will embrace the future of data analytics early, grabbing more than their fair share,” he says. 64 | HIGHER VIEW BUSIN E S S
Applied analytics makes sense of the wealth of information we now have at our fingertips. SOLVING CHINA’S GREATEST CHALLENGES
Human beings have always found great innovation from observing patterns. For millennia, we have been working on the data available to create a better world and commercial advantage. Our ancestors knew that spring was the time to plant new crops, that the pattern of the moon is linked to the tides, and the summer solstice arrived yearly. The linking of diverse, de-identified data sets allows us to see patterns we could never see before, and doing so could play a role in tackling many of China’s greatest challenges. “Consider the health needs of a growing and rapidly ageing Chinese population,” Trumper says by way of example. “Our Quantium Health Outcomes business is looking at ways to reduce the stress on community health budgets and insurers by using data to encourage healthier lifestyles, adherence to medical treatment schedules and to reduce waste in health services provision.” When you think about what could be achieved by linking large scale medical 商道

databases with, for instance, calorific intake from shopping baskets, you get a feel for the incredible potential of this approach in preventative health. In northern China, water security is a perennial concern, as is environmental pollution in the nation’s major industrial cities. Through the intelligent application of data, we could learn how, when and why businesses and citizens consume resources, using the insights to better coordinate and potentially re-shape entire value chains, reducing waste and resource intensity. Data analytics could also help smooth China’s rapid urbanisation through more efficient planning, transportation and services infrastructure based on the needs and behaviours of these emerging communities. Data showing the performance of an engine in a jet plane or measuring the heat off a train’s braking systems can enable safer transport, better resource allocation and predictive mitigation of risk. “Overall, the societal implications will be profound,” Trumper maintains. “The Information Age made people’s lives more complex and arguably had a detrimental effect on human relationships. Applied analytics makes sense of the wealth of information we now have at our fingertips, reducing the noise. It will remove unnecessary and irrelevant distractions, freeing up time for the things that matter and improving quality of life.”
BACK TO BUSINESS
It is hard to imagine any industry that would not benefit from greater investment in data analytics. “There are strong uses for data in any consumer-facing business,” Trumper confirms. “Quantium works extensively with consumer goods companies such as Procter & Gamble and Unilever, as well as energy, insurance, industrial and telecommunications companies, along with government departments and more.” And the world is moving fast. For the first time in history, the five biggest companies listed in the USA are all technology companies – and each places data at the centre of everything they do. Increasingly, all companies will need to place data and technology at the centre of their strategies. “Quality data, applied intelligently, will be the key success factor for most businesses,” Trumper says. “In recognition of this huge potential, the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has developed a five-year plan to grow ‘big data’ into a trillion-yuan industry. This vote of confidence suggests data analytics will not be a fringe debate in Chinese boardrooms. Rather, it will be the beating heart of strategy.” Trumper adds that at Quantium, the mantra is ‘the best data wins’, and the more data, the better. “Diverse data allows directors to ask better quality questions. However, it’s crucial to remember that even the best data, applied poorly, can fuel strategic blunders. “That’s where companies like Quantium come in. We have been developing advanced data analytics solutions since the field began and we offer some of the most experienced data scientists anywhere in the world. We know which questions to ask and where to look for value. “To paraphrase Jack Welch, we help businesses find out what the customer wants and support them with strategies to give it to them fast.”

This shift, which comprises a slowdown in the Chinese economy plus wide-ranging reforms in China’s regulatory landscape, has created a challenging environment for PE investment, offering compelling opportunities that require “different and sometimes new stages, sectors and strategies”.

total capital invested in growth deals was more than twice the amount invested in venture capital (VC) deals.” However, the research points out that in recent years “many PE managers who invested in traditional growth-stage companies have struggled to achieve their target return thresholds”. “This has forced PE managers to adapt their strategies and to focus on opportunities in early-stage companies in high-growth sectors.” For example, the emergence of large internet companies in China has transformed the VC investment ecosystem, “igniting competition for early-stage, technology-focused VC firms from later-stage growth investors seeking to cash in” on the new wave of China’s social, media and consumer behaviour.

“In either case, these industry leaders offer valuable and unique operating knowledge that even the most highly experienced investment professionals can lack. Specifically, these leaders know how to accelerate growth in businesses and turn around failing ones. We have seen this strategy implemented in various ways by GPs.” The paper points to traditional PE firms that hire outside consultants who can aid in business expansion and improvement plans for their portfolio companies as a success strategy. “Other GPs have built in-house teams with wide ranging areas of expertise including human resources, corporate strategy, marketing, supply, and IT management, which portfolio companies can leverage as needed. “GPs with in-house teams oftentimes also maintain networks of external operating partners across various sectors that can be tapped to help implement new strategies and add value to portfolio companies.” 商道

SPECIALISED SECTOR-FOCUSED FUNDS
The paper says sector-focused funds have become increasingly popular in the market as GPs recognise an opportunity to invest in specialised industries with high barriers to entry such as internet, healthcare and green technology. “In order to become more specialised, PE firms are adding seasoned professionals with non-investment, sector-specific expertise to their staffs. For example, many of the GPs focusing on the healthcare sector have medical backgrounds themselves and/ or hire investment team members with extensive medical backgrounds. “Our general observations suggest that firms with sector-focused investment strategies communicate and make investment decisions more efficiently than generalist funds. “On the other hand, generalist funds benefit from broader deal flow and have more flexibility to reallocate capital as the investment climate changes. “Sector-focused funds may occasionally also have to tolerate higher prices given their sector focus constraints, whereas generalist funds might pass on a particular investment if the valuation reaches a critical threshold. “Interestingly, we are seeing a trend where generalist funds are becoming more sector-focused, with many of these funds becoming more disciplined with regard to their target industries.”
like pharmaceuticals in China.” As the ageing population demands international-calibre drugs and medical services, the Chinese healthcare sector is forecasted to grow well above the country’s GDP growth. To demonstrate, the Siguler Guff paper cites a 2016 report from the International Trade Administration, which projected that total healthcare expenditure in China will reach $1.1 trillion by 2020, up from $640 billion in 2015, representing a compound annual growth rate of 11.4%. “Certain subsectors are forecasted to experience higher growth rates. For example, the medical devices market is projected to grow 14% annually between 2013 and 2020.”

Traditional growth funds have started to use M&A and cross-border strategies to accelerate growth in portfolio companies.
HEALTHCARE SECTOR POTENTIAL IS NOTABLE
In particular, Siguler Guff believes the dynamics of the healthcare sector will prove particularly attractive for PE investors. “First, it is both difficult and expensive for an investor to gain exposure to the sector through listed securities. Public indices in the emerging markets are significantly underweight in their exposure to healthcare,” the paper’s authors argue. “Such a scarcity has led to fairly rich valuations among listed healthcare companies. For example, the healthcare companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange traded at an average P/E multiple of more than 80x as of December 2016. “This compares to an average P/E multiple of approximately 30x for healthcare businesses on the New York Stock Exchange. “Furthermore, even in markets where highly-priced listed companies exist, they tend to be concentrated in certain subsectors, 商道

TREND TOWARDS INNOVATION
Chronic health issues and diseases in the emerging markets are increasingly similar to those in developed markets. There is an evident trend of lifestyle-driven disorders such as cardiac diseases, asthma, diabetes, cancer and behavioural issues. Driven by higher disposable income and broader coverage of commercial insurance in China, the Siguler Guff paper also points to the “gradual shift from generic drugs and traditional Chinese medicines towards Western drugs with immediate and higher efficacy”. “Growing public demand for safer and more effective drugs has placed great pressure on the Chinese FDA and the social insurance system for reform. Due to the fast-rising healthcare spending, the government is pressured to find high-quality local products to replace expensive, globally-priced innovative drugs.” As a result Siguler Guff describes a noticeable increase in the calibre of medical innovation in China. “This has been driven in part by Chinese entrepreneurs who return to China from abroad with ambitions to create new products and/or drugs in China. 74 | HIGH ER VIEW BUSIN E S S

NEW APPROACHES ADOPTED BY TRADITIONAL GROWTH FUNDS
1. M&A With organic growth becoming more challenging to achieve, traditional growth funds have started to use M&A and cross-border strategies to accelerate growth in portfolio companies. This practice is relatively new and is still largely unproven for Chinese companies. The risks associated with M&A in China lie in the integration process after the merger. Data on Western PE funds show that only 30% of acquisitions are ultimately successful. In China, the challenges could be even greater, such as the potential for opaque financial reporting, and embellishment of selling stake holders during negotiations. Cross-border transactions entail additional risk, as they attract extra regulatory scrutiny, and can provoke cultural conflicts and operating team issues. Encouragingly, 商道
尚高资本也指出, “随着可支配收入的增加 以及商业保险覆盖面的扩大,中国的药品销售 逐渐由非专利药和中药向疗效更快更高的西药 转移。” “公众对更安全、更有效药品的需求不断增 长,使得中国国家食品药品监督管理总局和社 会保险制度改革承担巨大压力。医疗保健开支 的迅速攀升迫使政府寻找优质的本土产品,以 替代昂贵的全球定价创新药物。” 最后尚高资本指出,中国的医疗创新水准明 显提升。 “部分原因在于中国创业者的推动;他们从 海外回归祖国,雄心勃勃,想要在中国开发新 的产品和/或药品。” “2015年曾出现中国本土创新药品生产商加 强监管的重要举措。这些药品生产商具备研制 新药的能力,其药品疗效的有效率与其跨国同 行相当。”

traditional growth funds have started to strengthen their internal expertise and operating teams to execute such M&A deals. 2. PIPEs In certain traditional sectors, public companies can present lower valuation multiples and better established operations, making them attractive targets for private investment. The most astute GPs have been able to benefit from this strategy. In order to succeed, GPs must maintain discipline, structure deals directly with corporations, and insist on favourable terms. These terms may include higher structured returns, more current pay, equity-debt hybrid securities, influential governance within the company, and more flexible exit opportunities. 3. Buyouts Buyouts are beginning to present a unique investment opportunity in China. In the past, few “true” buyout opportunities existed, and the ones that did, did not attract much attention. The lack of buyout opportunities was driven, in part, by entrepreneurs unwilling to sell a controlling stake in their businesses while valuations were increasing.
GPs did not often pursue these transactions, given the abundance of other compelling investment opportunities available, namely high-growth companies that were in need of expansion capital. Buyout transactions are typically more complicated and require more resources to complete. Siguler Guff believes the following factors will make buyouts attractive in the next chapter of PE in China: • Former growth companies entering a stage with bottlenecks or constraints for further growth succession issues with first-generation entrepreneurs • Increasing availability of professional managers • Multiple arbitrage between different capital markets creating opportunities for private deals • Government push for industry consolidation, especially in traditional manufacturing sectors • The need to deploy more capital per deal for large PE funds • Increasing access to leverage (though still limited).

传统型增长基金采取的新办法 1. 并购 尚高该文指出,实现企业自然发展的挑战更 加激烈,于是,传统型增长基金开始采取并购 和跨国策略,以加速其投资组合企业的发展。 文中提及, “这一举措问世未久,对中国企业 而言在很大程度上未经市场证明。与并购相关 的风险在于合并之后的融合过程。 西方私募股权基金的数据表明仅有30%的收 购最终取得成功。在中国,所面临的挑战可能 更大,例如:谈判过程中的财务报告不透明以及 利益相关者包装出售的可能等。 跨国交易因为受到额外的监管审查,往往还 存在其它风险,可能引起文化冲突和运营团队 问题等。值得欣慰的是,传统型增长基金已经 开始加强其内部专业知识和运营团队以执行此 类并购交易。” 2. 私人投资公开股票 在某些传统部门,上市公司可能意味着估值 倍数更低、运营更加完善,这就使得他们对私 人投资而言更具吸引力。 尚高该文指出,那些极为精明的普通合伙人 能对这一策略善加利用。 “为此目的,普通合伙人必须训练有素,直 接与公司进行交易,并坚持优惠条件。 这些条件可能包括更高的结构化回报、更及 时的资金偿付、股权债权混合证券、公司内部 治理影响力以及更为灵活的退出机会等。” 3. 收购 尚高指出,收购(并购型投资)在中国意味着 一种独特的投资机会。过去,很少存在“真正 的”收购机会,也并未引起更多的关注。 “缺少收购机会的部分原因是:企业估值日益 增加,而创业者不愿意出售其企业的控股权。 鉴于其它投资机会的巨大吸引力——例如: 需要资本扩充的高成长型公司,普通合伙人并 未对此类交易过于热衷。 收购交易一般更为复杂,需要更多的资源才 能完成。” 尚高资本认为以下因素将使收购在中国下一 阶段的私募股权投资中大放异彩: • 以前的成长型公司进入进一步发展的瓶颈期 或制约期,出现第一代创业者的继承问题; • 专业经理人越来越多; • 不同资本市场之间的多重套利为私人交易的 进行提供了机会; • 政府大力推崇行业合并,尤其是传统制造产业; • 大型私募股权基金每宗交易都需要更多的资本; • 利用杠杆作用的增加(尽管仍然有限)。 (因篇幅有限,所有参考引文出处请参阅本期 英文原文标注及脚注) 完 整 研 究 论 文 ,请 登 录 h t t p : / / w w w . sigulerguff.com/。

EXPERIENCE AFFORDS LIFE-LONG INSIGHT
“People in China think about their lives, actions and place in society in a very different way to the way Australians do,” Brown observes. “To the Chinese, the Australian way is just as absurd, and nearly as interesting. We are prone to making devastatingly wrong assumptions about people in different cultures. I heard rumours that Chinese people sometimes mix coke with red wine to make it taste better; and that Australians sometimes mix milk in their tea.” Brown observed that, as it turns out, Australians have a love affair with order. “We like things to line up, make sense and conform to the rules,” he says. “We like, for example, to talk to a familiar face when we call one of our regular suppliers. But if the familiar face has moved on, then we expect a new face (same smile) in the role to pick up where things left off. “We Australians get a little uncomfortable when each trade is a new negotiation, at a new price, with alternate suppliers haggling from the sidelines. We get a little uncomfortable when a trade is as much about a web of personal relationships as it is about a web of supply chains. The Chinese way of business seems more dynamic, organic, flexible and competitive.” Another insight was that Australians have a rather slow style of learning.
“We ask our children to question everything, and to figure things out for themselves. We assure ourselves that they will grow to be strong, independent, creative individuals that can stand on their own two feet. “The Chinese have a much faster way. They revere past masters and seek to learn and emulate their ways by rote. Chinese students become more capable much more quickly; and the gifted individuals still float to the top to become masters. (Never play a memory game with a Chinese student). The Chinese live in a complex web of relationships; and not with a prerogative to be isolated individuals.”
WISDOM PAYS OFF FOR BROWN BROTHERS
John Andrew Brown modestly says he hopes his family’s stories and enthusiasm for their time in China rub off just a little on the people they talk with. “I hope that Brown Brothers people will make fewer assumptions about the way that we do business and talk about wine in China,” he says. “And I hope that Chinese people will come to appreciate fine wine in moderation, and that we all travel more beyond brochures and resorts.” But for the company’s General Manager of Emerging Markets, John Scholten, it’s no surprise that Brown Brothers has grown in China due to the great deal of emphasis placed on family values and its enormous

之后第一次重访旧友。对他而言那将是非常有 趣的一星期。” 布琅说他在中国的日子每天都有滋有味,这 句话毫不夸张。 “那片土地、那里的人和食物,每一天都让人倍 觉有趣,惊奇不已,让你感觉全然不同又似有所 同,自豪而又谦卑,勃勃进取,有时还敏感脆弱。 如果一定要说最精彩的,那必定是一段较长时 间里与草根人群及其家庭互动生活的机会。” 让我们终身顿悟的体验 “中国人对其社会生活、行为和位置的思考与 澳大利亚人完全不同。”布琅认为。 “对中国人 而言,澳大利亚人的思维方式荒诞又有趣。我 们容易对不同文化背景的人作出完全错误的假 设。我就曾听到谣言说中国人有时会将可乐与 红葡萄酒混合以产生更好的口感;而澳大利亚 人有时会往茶里面加牛奶。” 布琅说事实表明澳大利亚人注重公共秩序。 “我们喜欢按部就班,言之有理,遵守规则。”他 说, “例如,联系固定供应商时,我们喜欢面对熟 悉的面孔。但是,如果熟悉的面孔不在了,我们会 希望带同样的微笑的新面孔能接手遗留的事情。” “如果每一个交易都要与不同的供应商从头开 始讨价还价,进行新的谈判,确定新的价格,我 们澳大利亚人会觉得有点不爽;如果一个交易 中的人情关系网与供应链网一样强大,我们会 觉得有点难受。中国人做生意的方式似乎更为 活跃、更简单、更灵活、更有竞争性。” 另一个体会是澳大利亚人的学习方式相对较慢。 “我们教孩子质疑一切,并且自己去理解问题。 我们坚信孩子终究会成长为强壮的、独立的、有 创造力的个体,能靠自己的双足立于世界。” “中国人对待学习的方式则要快得多。他们尊 敬高手并生搬硬套地去设法学习和模仿高手的 方法。于是,中国学生更有能力、反应更快;颇 有天赋的个体仍然鹤立鸡群并成为高手。(绝 不要与中国学生玩记忆力游戏。)中国人生活在 一个复杂的关系网之中,没啥特权要当个特立 独行的人并不容易。” 智慧成就布琅兄弟酒庄 约翰∙安德鲁∙布琅谦逊地表示希望他们在中国 期间的故事和热情能对与其打交道的人略有影响。 “我希望布琅兄弟酒庄所有人在中国做生意和 谈论葡萄酒的时候少一些假设。”他说, “我也 希望中国人能适当欣赏高级葡萄酒,我们能在 宣传和旅游之外多一些交流。” 但是对于公司新兴市场总经理约翰∙斯科尔滕 (John Scholten)来说,由于对家族价值观的重 视及其出色的智慧和为了解中国消费者而作出的 努力,布琅兄弟酒庄在中国的发展壮大毋庸置疑。 “我们与中方主要合作伙伴的关系始于价值观 和目标一致的两个家族企业之间的合作。”斯 科尔滕说。 “十五年来,企业所有权发生改变,关系也不 断发展。但是,我们和主要合作伙伴有着在中国 共赢的长期承诺。”

wisdom and commitment to understanding Chinese customers. “Our relationship with our principal Chinese partner started with a collaboration between two family businesses with aligned values and goals,” Scholten says. “Over 15 years, the ownership has changed and the relationship has evolved. However, we and our key partner share a long-term commitment to mutual success in China. “At recent meetings in Shanghai we heard some contrasting expositions between the short-term view of some public companies and the longer term view of family businesses,” Scholten adds. “Sustainable success in China rarely comes quickly.”
TRUSTED QUALITY
Scholten, who joined Brown Brothers ten months ago, is responsible for carriage of the company’s export and online business. He has worked in the industry for the best part of 20 years, mostly at Fosters Group (now Treasury Wines). In his last role before joining Brown Brothers, Scholten was involved with establishing e-commerce and logistics solutions for Australian wineries wanting to sell their wines to both China and the domestic market. Scholten says Chinese consumers see Australian wines as friendly, with an approachable taste profile. “Aussie wines have trusted quality and are seen as good value for money,” he says. Brown Brothers’ most popular products in China are its premium fruity wines: Cienna, Moscato and Moscato Rosa. “We are a leader in this category in China,”
Scholten says. “I think this is because the Chinese consumer we are targeting is looking for approachable wines that go great with the broad range of Chinese cuisines and complement informal, social and fun dining occasions. “In more recent months we have seen good growth in the popularity of our dry wines as the Chinese palate continues to develop, and we have sharpened our focus on meeting the informal dining occasion.”
LEADERSHIP POSITION
Establishing a leadership position in the fruity category is an achievement Scholten is extremely proud of. “It is a credit to the foresight of Ross Brown, who has always been confident about the appeal of our wines in China provided we can show them to Chinese consumers and reveal just how well they match with Chinese food,” he explains. Another proud achievement is the strong results gained from continual review and evolution of the company’s relationships with key Chinese partners. “The Chinese market changes constantly, so you find you’re continually reassessing your approach,” Scholten shares. “Building relationships on open communication, transparency and alignment is critical to achieving success.”
CLEAR, SHARED GOALS
Scholten says the key to successful collaborative partnerships in China lies in clear, shared goals and a realistic plan to achieve them. Open and candid communication plus patience are also essential. 商道

“It is easy to become excited and overwhelmed in a market as big and vibrant as China,” he says. “[The market] is best approached in digestible chunks – a series of relatively smaller, manageable goals with clear milestones. “Over the past 12 months, Brown Brothers has identified specific category and volume goals and managed toward achieving them.” But what advice would Scholten give Australian companies wishing to partner in China? “Finding the right partners is tough and time consuming,” he warns. “Aligning on values and common goals isn’t straightforward, as the [Chinese] market is extremely large and potential partners can have very different objectives. “You may find a suitable partner, but they may only want to play in Beijing, or in the restaurant trade on the east coast, or upscale department stores in Shanghai. “Once you find a partner, you must observe the correct procedures to prepare your product for approval and launch it into your target market via the right channel – this can take a considerable amount of time and it is easy to miss key launch windows.”
ECOMMERCE CHALLENGE
Scholten says that in recent times, e-commerce channels have disrupted traditional distribution models by creating price transparency and relatively simple logistics networks that enable B2C and C2C exchange.
商业
“Brands can be quickly devalued in this environment and navigating it is tricky,” he says. “I anticipate some channel convergence in China as bricks’n’mortar sellers go online and pure-play e-commerce sellers set up shopfronts. “A good example of this is AliBaba’s HeMa ‘Hippo Fresh’ supermarkets in Shanghai.”
CONSUMER FOCUS
Scholten adds that at Brown Brothers, great importance is attached to understanding the consumer in each of its target segments and connecting with them. “Our experience in China is no different,” he says. “A key learning is that there is no generic Chinese wine consumer. Consumers in Shanghai differ to those in Chengdu – we work hard to understand their drivers, conversations and occasions and actively participate in these without being intrusive. “We invest a lot in understanding the consumer and talking to them face-to-face. We try to understand the importance of influence groups and work hard at leveraging these through social media, tasting programmes and other activity.” And Brown Brothers is planning further expansion in China. “Brown Brothers has recently prioritised China as a focus export market,” Scholten reveals. “We are very optimistic about China and plan to launch some new and exciting wines into the market.”
“中国市场瞬息变化,所以你必须随时评估调 整应对市场变化的行为。”斯科尔滕与我们分 享经验时说到。 “在坦诚沟通、开放透明与合作结盟的基础上 建立双方关系,是取得成功的重要因素。” 明确、共同的目标 斯科尔滕说在中国成功合作的关键是明确的 共同目标以及为实现该目标而制定的切实可行的 计划。开诚布公的交流沟通与耐心也颇为重要。 “面对中国这样一个庞大鲜活的市场很容易让 人激动兴奋或不知所措。”他说。 “进入(这样一个市场)最好是分而化之—— 从一系列相对较小的、容易实现的目标着手,制 定明确的发展里程碑。” “过去12个月,布琅兄弟酒庄已经确定了具体 的品种和销量目标并为实现这些目标而努力。” 但是斯科尔滕对想要在中国开展合作的澳洲 企业提出了什么建议呢? “找到合适的合伙人是一个艰难且漫长的过 程。”他提醒道。 “保持一致的价值观和共同目标也并不简单, 因为(中国)市场极为庞大,潜在合伙人可能有 着完全不同的目标。” “你可能是寻找合适的合伙人,但他们可能只 想在北京,或是东部沿海地区的饭店,或是上 海的高档商场‘到此一游’。” “一旦找到合伙人,你必须遵守正确的流程准 备产品审核,并通过恰当的渠道将其投放目标 市场——这可能需要相当长的时间,也容易错 过最佳投放时机。” 应对电商挑战 斯科尔滕说,近来电商渠道因为透明的价格 和相对简单的物流网络实现了B2C和C2C交易, 对传统的销售模式产生冲击。 “在这一环境下,品牌迅速贬值,运营操作颇 为棘手。”他说。 “我预计中国会出现一些品牌 趋同化现象——实体卖家纷纷上线,纯电商卖 家则开设店面。” “一个很好的例子是阿里巴巴旗下的‘盒马鲜 生’超市,开设于上海。” 消费者聚焦 斯科尔滕补充说,布琅兄弟酒庄重点关注对 各目标区域消费者的了解并与其联系。 “我们在中国也是如此。”他说。 “一个重要认知是 中国的葡萄酒消费者并非千篇一律。上海的消费者 与成都的不同——我们会试图了解他们的消费动机、 交流和场合并以不令人反感的方式积极参与。” “我们花大力气了解消费者,并与他们面对面沟 通。我们设法了解影响群体的重要性,并努力通过 社交媒体、品鉴计划及其它互动对其进行平衡。” 布琅兄弟酒庄正在计划进一步壮大中国市场。 “中国已作为布琅兄弟酒庄重点出口市场,列 入酒庄近期优先事项。”斯科尔滕透露。 “我们对中国市场颇为乐观,计划向该市场投 放一些新型独特的葡萄酒品种。”

ention the term “expatriate” or “expat lifestyle” and different connotations are conjured, depending on whom you’re talking to. Much of today’s society worldwide associates expats and their careers abroad with enviable benefits not ordinarily provided in their country of origin. These often include salaries with a generous uplift, subsidised or free accommodation in desirable postcodes, domestic help, a car, additional living allowances, and perhaps the international school experience for employees’ children, just to name a few. But by research and definition, an expat is actually deemed as someone of any skill level working outside of his or her native country. Whether they have relocated of their own accord or are hosted by a company makes no classifying difference. In the case of Chinese expats in Australia, and their Australian counterparts working north of the equator, different cultural backgrounds make for varying emphasis on drawcards. 商道

OPPORTUNITY AND COMMUNICATION
Over the years, China’s rapidly emerging market economy has seen multinational corporations and growing brands spawn branches and regional headquarters in the likes of bustling Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. This has necessitated highly skilled foreign individuals to lend their expertise, to lead and to develop manpower. Native English speakers often bear more advantages as China pushes for a more bilingual society. Sydney-born Courtney Terrey moved to Hong Kong in September 2015 after eight years in London. While it was her husband’s job that prompted the move, she was hired in just six weeks by a European business-tobusiness (B2B) quality control and compliance service provider. “Hong Kong has allowed me the opportunity to work for a global company, where before I’d worked with small to medium enterprises,” says the senior marketing manager. Timothy Pope, a journalist and business news presenter at a government-run media group, shares the same view on opportunities. The 28-year-old Melburnian moved to Shanghai in 2015. With contacts from the
It’s only recently that Courtney’s gotten used to the idea of “saving face” and what it means for her Chinese team. For the uninitiated, this Asian concept revolves around the fervent need to avoid humiliation, and to keep dignity and reputation intact. “I’ve been training my team that it’s okay to give feedback, or put your hand up if you do something wrong; there’s no finger pointing or blaming as a result. It’s taken time to get this message across as it’s not something that’s part of their culture,” she shares. Saving face applies to managers too, as Timothy has seen. “In China, you don’t tell your boss that they’re wrong, especially not in a group setting. It’s seen as causing your boss to lose face. Appearance and hierarchy are very important. I don’t think Australians realise how flat their workplace structures are.” Emma Liu, a Qingdao native who works in Melbourne’s renewable energy industry, agrees: “Here, I could say ‘no’ and explain to my boss more easily. In China, I would think very hard before doing that.” But perhaps there are exceptions to this
The Chinese are better at following a recipe, are consistent and disciplined, but Australians are more creative. Shanghai counterpart of his Melbourne workplace, he secured a job in nine days. “Because of my skills, I was working in a team of three to produce a new programme that I now present. That would never be offered to me in Australia because the industry there prides seniority. I am definitely getting opportunities in Shanghai that I wouldn’t back home,” he shares. Both Courtney and Timothy have also realised how Chinese culture comes into play at work. “They’re there to get the job done, there’s no office banter like there is in Australia. I found that my Hong Kong and Shenzhen teams were often too nervous to speak about issues,” Courtney says.
cultural difference in communication style and workplace structure. Michael Wilson, 32, an executive chef at The PuLi Hotel and Spa in Shanghai, has experienced an environment where different mindsets meet halfway regardless of seniority or culture. He moved from Melbourne in 2012, after his boss received a tip-off about a chef vacancy in Shanghai. A four-day visit and demonstration sealed the deal. “The Chinese are better at following a recipe, are consistent and disciplined, but Australians are more creative. Chinese techniques will help you cook something, or a European technique might. Having a cross-cultural team bridges everything,” he says. 商道
在伦敦呆了八年之后,悉尼出生的Courtney Terrey于2015年9月份搬到了香港。虽然这次的 搬家缘于她丈夫的一次工作调动,但她在短短 六周时间内就在一家欧洲的B2B质量控制与合 规服务公司内找到了工作。 这位高级销售经理表示:“香港让我有机会 进入一家全球性的企业工作,而之前我只能在一 些小中企业内将就。” Timothy Pope在一家国有媒体集团担任记 者 和 财 经 新 闻 节目的主 持人,并对此 深 表认 同。28岁的他是一位地地道道的墨尔本人,于 2015年来到上海。在墨尔本工作之时所结识的 上海同行的帮助下,他在短短九天时间内就找 到了一份工作。 他表示: “由于我的能力不错,我曾经与其它 两位同事合作来制作我现在主持的新节目,而 在澳大利亚我永远不会有这样的机会;因为在 澳大利亚,这个行业讲究资历。但在上海,我获 得了在澳大利亚所不敢想象的机会。” Courtney和Timothy两人都见识了中国文化 如何在工作中产生影响。 Courtney指出: “他们就是埋头工作,不会 像澳大利亚人那样会在办公室开开玩笑什么的。 我发现我的香港和深圳团队在谈论问题的时候 往往都过于紧张。” Courtney也是最近才了解到“面子”这个概 念,以及面子对于中国团队的重要意义。 讲得直白一点的话,这个亚洲独有概念的含 义就是避免被羞辱以及保护尊严和名誉。 她谈到:“我一直在告诉我的团队要及时反 馈,或者如果你做错事了要举手承认,而我并不 会因此而加以指责或者怪罪。我花了很长时间 才把这个想法传达下去,因为这并不是他们文 化的一部分。” 管 理 人 员 也 十 分 看 重 自 己 的 面 子 —— Timothy亦发现了这一点。

A DIFFERENT MOTIVE
With China exposed to the Western world, Australia being their closest Western neighbour, the latter has proven desirable for holidays and world-class tertiary education – something the Chinese seem to value highly in their experience of Australia. Adelaide-born Ashley Beecher-Brown has lived in Shanghai for 20 years, working in recruitment technology. In 2011 he co-founded Shanghai Sunrise, an organisation that raises scholarship funds for students from poor families. “With a large population, finding work is challenging. It’s common for people to leave their families and live away, just to put kids in university, which is celebrated. The Chinese term for making huge sacrifices is ‘eating bitterness’, so the next generation can progress,” he explains. Yuanbin Wei, a Chinese language teacher in eastern Victoria, explains education from her perspective. Born in Fuzhou, she moved to Melbourne in 2008 to pursue her undergraduate and postgraduate studies, and became a primary and secondary school teacher. “China places big focus on academic achievements because the teachers’ performance is assessed on the students’ performance. Whereas in Australia, it focuses on all aspects of the child’s development,” she says. Wendy Yu, a Chinese Australian from Sydney, concurs. She spent three years in Shanghai teaching English as a second language at a bilingual school. She is now Principal at the International Chinese School in Sydney. “I found international schools in Shanghai ran like corporations, with various branches in different countries. The parents were 8 6 | HIGHER VIEW BUSIN E S S
clients, with high expectations of teachers’ performance. “In Australia, obviously you want children to perform, but educating the global child means caring for their social and emotional development, too,” she says. For all the toil to fund a child’s university education or one’s own career move, it seems the coveted goal for many Chinese is that elusive Australian work-life balance. “In Australia, it’s more relaxed. You don’t do a lot of overtime, just working hours primarily,” says Phoebe Wan from Hangzhou, a legal secretary in Melbourne. The contrast is huge, says Chinese Australian Cici Zhang, who moved to Hong Kong from Melbourne in 2014. “The hours are much longer; 12- to 16-hour days isn’t uncommon for some,” says the fashion designer for a French swimwear and lingerie brand. Staphanie Yau, a multimedia developer from Hong Kong who’s lived in Melbourne for 22 years, wishes people would realise that more hours in the office doesn’t instantly equate to better quality work. “The culture of overtime in Hong Kong is really bad. Australia has a much better focus on work-life balance, and better legal measures in place like the FairWork Ombudsman and WorkSafe to ensure employees are looked after,” she said. A conducive work environment is important, too, as Pisen Hong, a master calligrapher and teacher in Chinese language and philosophy at Victoria’s Kilmore International School, explains. Shanghaiborn, he taught in Suzhou before moving to Melbourne in 1988. “The Australian working culture presents more opportunity to use your talents less 商道
“在中国,你不能告诉老板他错了,尤其不能在 公开场合这样说,因为这样会让你的老板没面 子。面子和等级都十分重要。我估计澳大利亚人 还没意识到他们的工作关系实际上相当平等。” 来自青岛的Emma Liu在墨尔本从事与可再 生能源相关的工作,她对此亦深为认同。 “在这里,我可以说向老板说‘不’并向他解释, 但在中国,我绝对要三思而后行。” 但是,两国在沟通风格和工作关系上的此种 文化差异亦有其例外之处。 32岁的Michael Wilson是上海璞麗酒店的 行政总厨。在他的工作环境当中,资历和文化无 关紧要,所有人都可畅所欲言。 2012年,他的老板听闻上海有一个大厨的空 缺,于是他就从墨尔本飞到上海;在四天的参 观和展示之后,他最终获得聘用。 他表示: “中国人擅长照搬菜谱、发挥稳定并 且严于律己,但澳大利亚人更富于创新。中国的 烹饪手法可以帮你煮出一道好菜,而欧洲的厨 艺亦不相伯仲。拥有一支跨文化团队可以搞定 一切。” 不同的动机 随着中国开始接触西方世界,作为离中国最 近的西方国家,澳大利亚已成为中国人度假以 及接受世界级高等教育的理想之选。 出生于阿德莱德的Ashley Beecher-Brown 已在上海生活了20年之久,并从事与招聘技术 相关的工作。2011年,他与合作伙伴共同成立 了“初升的太阳(Shanghai Sunrise)”—— 一 个为寒门子弟募集奖学基金的组织。 他解释称: “在人口众多的中国,找工作绝非 易事。中国人往往需要远离家庭在外打拼,只为 了把子女送入大学。在中国,表示做出巨大牺牲 的词叫做‘吃苦’,唯有如此下一代才能跳出 龙门。” 在维多利亚州东部地区教汉语的Yuanbin Wei从她的角度对教育进行了诠释。出生于福 州的她于2008年来到墨尔本读完了本科和硕士 课程,并成为一位小学和中学教师。 她表示: “中国十分重视学业成就,因为教师 的绩效就是根据学生的成绩进行评定的,而澳 大利亚则更侧重于儿童的全面发展。”

GIVE AND TAKE
Ultimately, expat life is a classic case of enjoying the other side of the coin; things we don’t have normally. If you can adapt to change and are receptive to new experiences, the expat life rewards with experiences not available in one’s home country. Despite its frenetic pace, China presents an exciting cosmopolitan experience. While many people get an average of just ten days annual leave, half of that in Australia, exploring Asia is still easy on weekends. “I’ve been able to see Hong Kong, Taipei and Bangkok easily, living in Shanghai,” says Timothy. Australia satisfies those who crave a less stressful lifestyle where personal time can be enjoyed. While people work fewer hours, it’s still hard work; time is just managed differently. The Chinese community here appreciates what Australians may take for granted – clean air, fresh food and somewhere ideal to raise their kids. Zhining Yang, who moved from Shenyang to Melbourne in 2004 and is a senior investment manager with the Victorian government says: “There’s a reason Melbourne, attracts lots of expats. For me, it’s having personal space, feeling more relaxed, being able to travel more easily.”

TEQUILA 龙舌兰
We discover some of the worlds finest spirits and liquors. 我们探寻世界上最优质的烈酒。
NO CHEAP SHOTS Tequila is traditionally associated with wild nights and awful mornings, but Alex Mead explains why that doesn’t have to be the case. For many people, nights involving tequila don’t conjure up a whole lot of good memories. In fact, memories aren’t something you even identify with a spirit renowned for being taken as a “shot” with a lick of salt and a squeeze of lemon. But don’t blame Mexico. They do it right; it’s the rest of us who do it wrong. A throwback (literally) from the days when cheap tequila was everywhere, the fact so many still take a shot of tequila when what’s on offer is so varied and diverse could be due to little more than laziness. In Mexico, you may choose one tequila to sip with your light lunch, another as an aperitif to be savoured while easing into the evening, a different one altogether to match your meal, and then a more decadent one to provide a fitting finale. Good tequila – to enjoy, not endure – is made purely from agave. Much like whisky, it can even be aged in oak barrels. And don’t think it has to break the bank either – you can get a decent bottle for $36 to $40. So which to go for? Fortaleza Anejo (40%) admittedly isn’t within the bargain range – it’s closer to $200 or so. But this is for sipping, remember? So it should last. Hailing from the town of Tequila (yes, it exists), it has spicy and sweet caramel notes, and the fact that it’s made via the most classic method of using a volcanic stone to crush the agave only adds to its allure. Jose Cuervo, meanwhile, is a familiar brand to many, but the Reserva de la Familia (38%) is its premium tequila at $250. Made from matured blue agave, it’s aged for at least three years in French or American oak and delivered with notes of wood, citrus and spice. Completing our trio of tequilas is Casa Noble Reposado (40%), a snip at typically less than $100. Aged in a French oak barrel for just under a year, it’s a balanced tequila, sweet, floral and smooth with toasted notes. These are just three suggestions, but quality tequilas, or anejo if they’ve been aged for longer than a year, are worth looking out for – and you won’t find them lined up in shot glasses alongside a pile of lemons and a salt shaker. Choose the right one and you’ll love it forever – not just hate it for a second. 92 | HIGH ER VIEW BUSIN E S S
物有所值 说起龙舌兰,脑中浮现的必是放纵的夜晚与糟糕的早晨, 但是Alex Mead将改变你的传统认知。 沉醉于龙舌兰酒的夜晚啊,恐怕大多 数人都不会留下太多美好的回忆。说实话, 喝上“一口”掺着一点盐和几滴柠檬的龙 舌兰酒,就仿佛中了一枪,还谈何回忆呢。 可是也别去责怪墨西哥人,他们没错,错 的是我们。仿佛又回到了价格低廉的龙舌 兰酒随处可见的年代,很多人还是会在让 人眼花缭乱的酒品中选择来上一口龙舌兰 酒,这恐怕更多的还是图方便吧。在墨西 哥,您可以给快餐午饭配一点龙舌兰酒, 在夜晚正餐前选一杯龙舌兰餐前酒,享用 正餐时搭配另外一种龙舌兰酒,最后用餐 结束时再品用一杯更加高贵的龙舌兰酒。 用来享受而非忍受的优质龙舌兰酒完 全使用龙舌兰制成,甚至也可以像威士忌 那样在橡木酒桶中陈年。别担心陈年龙舌 兰酒会昂贵无比,只需36-40澳元就能入 手一瓶相当不错的龙舌兰酒了。 那么该选哪种呢?诚然,价格在200澳 元左右的Fortazela Anejo(40%)不算 便宜。不过一次也不过喝一点点,不是嘛?
所以一瓶是可以享用很久的。口味中散发 着辛辣和焦糖甜蜜的Fortazela Anejo来 自龙舌兰酒的故乡,以最经典的方法酿制 而成。龙舌兰是用火山石碾碎的,更增添 了它的高贵(或者说价格)。 Jose Cuervo是大众品牌,Riserve de la Fanilia(38%)却是一款价格不菲的精 品龙舌兰,采用成熟蓝色龙舌兰酿制而成, 在法国或美国橡木酒桶中陈年3年以上, 口味中混合着木头、柑橘和辛辣的味道。 龙舌兰三重奏的第三位成员是不到100 澳元的Casa Noble Reposado(40%), 可谓是物美价廉。这款酒在法国橡木酒桶 中陈年不足1年,酒体平衡,甘甜而散发着 花香,口感柔和,口味中带有烧烤的味道。 以上只是推荐给您的3款龙舌兰酒。精 品龙舌兰酒或陈年1年以上的陈年龙舌兰 酒值得花费一番心思去探寻,在一排排柠 檬和盐罐旁边的酒杯里肯定是找不到的。 若是选对了龙舌兰酒,您就会一直爱它, 而不会有片刻懊悔的。
“Tequilia is a spirit renowned for being taken as a shot. Don't blame Mexico. They do it right; it's the rest of us who do it wrong.”

BENTLEY GOES FURTHER
It’s the first Bentley to run on diesel… but is the economical version of the Bentayga really up to the brand’s magnificent standards? No matter how healthy your bank account, we live in belt-tightening times. As a nod to this, frugal buyers can now purchase their $335,000 Bentley Bentayga SUV with an efficient diesel engine. Now you can crank up the air-con, revel in the flawless leather and zip along at up to 270km/h without the worry of ever-rising petrol prices. It’s the small things that make a difference. Of course, as austerity measures go, this is a pretty painless one. For a start, the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 diesel is so quiet, you’d have to get your head under the bonnet to notice it. There’s no
compromise with speed, either – the Bentayga is the world’s fastest diesel SUV. With SUVs, though, top speed is rarely a concern. Buyers tend to look at power first – after all, you never know when you might want to tow your yacht to a new marina. Naturally, the Bentayga continues to impress, with 320kW of power and an incredible 900Nm of torque. The torque is made usable by an eight-speed automatic gearbox that can get you from a standing start to 100km/h in just 4.8 seconds. There’s no lag between pressing the throttle and getting the power, either; the Bentayga pushes you back into its plush seats with
genuine urgency. It’s all so undiesel-y. So what’s Bentley’s secret? They’ve rethought how to force induction through the engine. In a typical diesel, exhaust pressure pushes air through a turbocharger (or turbochargers) to get the car moving quickly. However, the engineers behind the Bentayga diesel have added an electric compressor that can push extra air into the turbocharger within 30 milliseconds of you hitting the go pedal. That little boost of whoosh when the revs are still low means instant momentum in situations where other diesel drivers are still waiting for their turbo to kick in. Mind you, if ever there was a car you’d be happy having a marginally longer journey in, it’d be this one. The materials used in the cabin are second to none – as you might expect – while the technology includes a heads-up display, high-resolution maps, and the ability to read road signs to keep you abreast of the speed limit. And, thanks to all the money you’ve saved by choosing an economical diesel engine, it should feel like no hardship to get the optional Linley Hamper by Mulliner. Treat yourself – you’ve earned it.

BALI ON THE SWAN 珀斯的Ku De Ta绝对不是巴厘岛Ku De Ta的简 单翻版。澳大利亚版的Ku De Ta坐落于天鹅河 河畔,但还是贯彻它的初始概念。室内设计由 伦 敦 建 筑 师 珀 帕 里 姆·拉 玛( P e r p a r i m Rama)负责,全部使用天然和有机材料,其中 许多材料颇有历史渊源。厨房由行政总厨丹· 费舍尔(Dan Fisher)掌勺,他强调虽然这里全 天的用餐菜单与巴厘岛的有所不同,但其理念 却是相似的。不过有一件东西没有变,那就是 您依然可以在这里畅饮Bintang啤酒。 Ku De Ta Perth is no carbon copy of the original Bali venue. The Australian iteration has traded the Seminyak beachfront for the banks of the Swan River. It takes the original concept of Ku De Ta and puts an urban spin on it. In regards to the food, there are three separate dining spaces that can accommodate 850 people at any one time. If you’re after a casual bistro setting, there’s The Deck. Seafood and share plates are served at The West and there’s a constantly changing a la carte menu at Dining. Leading the kitchen is executive chef Dan Fisher, who emphasises that the all-day dining menu is different to Bali, but with a similar philosophy. One thing will remain the same: Bintang will be available on tap. kudeta.com.au 96 | HIGHER VIEW BUSIN E S S

Commune Social is hot hot hot – after all, it’s Brit megachef Jason Atherton’s only Shanghai joint, located in the hip Jing’an District. Naturally, for somewhere so du jour, it borrows from a speakeasy-meets-industrial vibe, with cement walls and ceilings, wood panelling and exposed bulbs gracing its bar area. Snag a seat on its diminutive terrace, which gazes through glass back into the restaurant, and get cracking on the mega-delicious Spanish tapas – think baked bone marrow with red cabbage and green apple salad, or grilled snapper with saffron rice and snow peas. The only downside? There’s no reservations, so aim to get there early to bag your alfresco table for a lengthy lunch outdoors. communesocial.com
