ShangHai Recommendation!

[Ascott]

[QUOTE=PuTonRen]Dear Bro SGPShanghai69,

After having written one Chapter for a report, I logged on to the forum and saw your posting.

Do not apologise due to your memory. If not, I should also apologise for forgetting that I have told you before..Hahaha.....40 is young to me, how I wish I were 40 years old now, so that I can have more fun with Sichuna NTTL meimeis. When you are young, drink less tea and have more funs, but when you are at my age, the two hobbies will be in reverse order.


Dear Bro. PTR,

Never too old especially when in the land of meimeis!! Even though only managed to meet you once long time ago and never have the chance when in sillypore, it's good to hear that you'll be having more time in China.
Hope to catch up with you and Bro. SGPShanghai soon.
Take care!

Yo,

Did anyone catch the Oriental TV evening news feature yesterday and today regarding a red light district similar to "Desker Road" that charges RMB30 for a short time session? My goodness! That's about S$6!!!

According to the report, it was frequented by workers from other provinces working at the nearby construction sites. The camera even caught a middle-aged worker being threatened aggressively, hit and kicked, by "pimps" because he shortchanged his payment by RMB5. Eventually, he reluctantly paid up with sourness displayed on his face.

The women just stand in front of the door, soliciting from passers-by and the room inside is old and run-down, everything reminiscent of our very own Desker Road.

Amazing, isn't it!

Cheers,
Shanghai Papa

Yo bro SGPshanghai69,

Agree with your comments. It is filthy and unhygienic like Desker Road, which is patronised by mainly foreign workers for a cheap shag so I don't think any brothers here would be crazy enough to visit that place.

Interestingly, the reporter interviewed the husband who suspected his wife is working there because his wife is afraid of hardwork and finds this as easy money. That makes me wonder if rural women in China are getting more liberal and would such thinking and action fuel the sex industry here, leading to more supply and competitive prices!

Cheers,
Shanghai Papa

Yo Bro Shanghai Papa,
Greetings!
Yes indeed that the local PRC gals are simply getting the easy life mentality! Take for instance the SHA gals I've encountered thru my years here, most of them would simply take the easy way of living, as soon as she gets attached with a foreign BF here, even if they are young, educated they would just lazed around at home doing nothing but living life as it is. Playing cards game with GFs at local Tea Houses daily, shopping at Malls, etc. Time comes for collection of monies from BF end of the moth (wage time) they would just ask for it without hesitations too!

It only goes to show that China progress is doing nothing good but causing these kinda bad lazy life mentality to its people instead!

My cent worth of personal opinion.
Cheers

Samsters who are based in Chian, please check out the Parkson Departmental Store and give your comments ...................

Report from The STAR (Malaysia) dated Sunday 14 May 2006 :-

Parkson success in China an eye-opener

SHOPPING in the Parkson Department Store at Central HuaiHai Road, Shanghai, one could easily mistake the weekdays for weekends.

This multi-level store in the centre of the city is usually crowded, even during working hours.

There are at present 39 Parkson outlets in 27 cities, making this Malaysian enterprise the largest department store chain in China.

Many Malaysians are surprised when they visit these outlets. Firstly, it is an eye-opener to see for themselves the strong purchasing power of the Chinese, although many have read about it.

Secondly, they are surprised that the Malaysian-based retail group is so popular in this foreign land.

The outlet in HuaiHai Road, for example, receives an average of 15,000 to 20,000 shoppers daily, more during weekends and public holidays.

“Parkson is the preferred anchor tenant in China’s shopping malls because we help to woo shopper traffic,” said Parkon Retail Group Ltd’s (PRG) chief executive officer Chew Fook Seng.

PRG, which is listed in Hong Kong, wholly owns 23 of the outlets. It also manages 12 stores that belong to its parent company Lion Diversified Bhd (a member of Malaysia’s Lion group), and four for third parties.

Parkson’s business is flourishing, and its figures speak for themselves.

PRG’s net profit has quadrupled since year 2002, soaring to 274.3 million renminbi (RM125mil) last year on the back of rising operating revenue that had more than doubled to 1.21 billion renminbi (RM550mil) from 561.8 million renminbi (RM256mil) in 2002.

To ride on the Chinese consumption boom, PRG is expanding the chain.

“Our vision is to have 100 stores in China. We are targeting to open at least 30 in the next five years,” said Chew, adding that certain populous cities will have multiple stores.

“The prospect of retail business is bright here,” he said.

The Chinese government anticipates its retail sales, including those conducted via restaurants and travelling, to reach seven trillion renminbi this year.

Parkson brought in the modern shopping concept that features trendy fashion and foreign brands into China in the early 90s when state-owned stores like YouYi (Friendship Store), which sold local products, were the only choice for shoppers.

The first Parkson store was opened in Beijing in 1994.

Lion Group boss Tan Sri William Cheng seized the opportunity to be the early “foreign bird”.

“We were here early. I think we were among the first few, if not the first, foreign retailing groups that came to China,” said Chew, a Malaysian who has pioneered Parkson operations in China.

“The local retailers seldom operate outside their provinces or counties. That actually created opportunities for us to establish our foothold and expand across China,” he added.

But being a pioneer in a foreign land is not easy.

Getting to know consumer tastes was a major challenge for the management in the early years.

“Shoppers’ spending patterns and preferences vary among provinces due to weather and cultural backgrounds,” Chew said.

“There are over 30 provinces and municipalities here. So you can imagine how diverse the consumer tastes can be.”

Operating in such a dynamic market, monitoring customers’ purchasing habits is a crucial task. PRG has an IT system at its Beijing headquarters doing the job. Information is disseminated to the relevant regions and individual outlets for decision-making.

Parkson outlets in China operate on the concessionaire model.

According to Chew, concessionaire sales accounted for about 80% of the revenue.

Not all the shoppers are aware that Parkson is actually founded and owned by a Malaysian. But the brand name has taken root, and this is definitely a big achievement.

Nonetheless, the years ahead are not without challenge as more players, including giant retail players from the West, enter the market.

“I think we have got the first-mover advantage,” said Chew.

Hi bros here,

Anyone can advise where to buy viagra/cialis?

Anyone tried those sold at 成人保健?

Thanks

Hi bros

Without a doubt Parkson got loads of people going in and out of the complex. This is a norm in Shanghai though and not specifically Parkson. Many other shopping complex do have a great number of shoppers day in and day out.

But what are the real downside of these shopping complex? I am not trying to be bias about the report, anyone know about the initial investment made by Parkson? Ahh.. now that's a question mark!

Anyone who's interested about investing in the retail and restaurant business here in Shanghai gotta be real careful though. If one is gonna base on a report like that... hahahha then good luck.

My two cents worth, though worth nothing.
