        The 10th China (Henan) International Investment & Trade Fair opens today, with famous enterprises, like Siemens, Google, Microsoft, etc. attending.

       From over 500 million US dollars to over 300 billion yuan, the Fair supports Henan provinces economic development, but also brings in many benefits to common people.

Since the 1st Fair in 2000, the investment funds have increased nearly 100 times during 16 years from the Economic & Trade Fair to the Investment & Trade Fair.

        The history of the Fair is actually a concentration and reflection of the historic course of over 20 years since Chinas opening-up.

     Due to logistics difficulties in the development of Chinas cross-border e-commerce, such as high price of delivery, uncontrollable timeliness, subcontract of logistics transit, geometrically-increased risk factors, delay, package loss and other problems, Henan has created a set of entirely new IT systems linking with Customs and General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the PRC for the cross-border e-commerce. Once the consumers buy the commodities, the order, payment and ID information can be seamlessly submitted to the Customs for clearance so that to finally realize the rapid delivery of commodities.

       For common people in Henan, online shopping will become more convenient, with both faster delivery and quality guarantee.

 

      “As the warehouse is located in Zhengzhou, I can receive imported cosmetics on the next day, if buying them from Jumei.com. Not only for the cosmetics, but also for the imported milk powder, paper diaper, snacks, etc., shopping online can offer a very high efficiency, according to Ms. Gao who usually does the shopping through Jumei.com.
