Aucfan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Shuichi Takenaga) will open a booth featuring Japanese products at Yiwu Market, one of the world’s largest wholesale markets, on Thursday, August 8th. The opening ceremony for the Japan National Pavilion was held.
*About the opening ceremony*
At the opening ceremony held on August 8th, Aucfan Co., Ltd. Representative Director Shuichi Takenaga and Senior Executive Officer Ishimaru
Fujisaki, Chairman of Keiming, Hainan Network Technology Co., Ltd. (Aucfan Group China Branch)
In addition to Long Cheng and General Manager Xu Jingyi, Mr. Jing Xiao, deputy general manager of Zhejiang Small Commodity City Group, and Mr. Fang Hua, deputy general manager of Yiwu Small Commodity City Group Overseas Investment Development Co., Ltd., cut the tape.
Yiwu Market is a wholesale market so huge that it would take more than a year to walk around it for eight hours a day, and it is operated by Zhejiang China Small Commodities City, a Chinese state-owned holding company. A world-famous wholesale market with trade relations with 233 countries and regions, more than 560,000 buyers visit Yiwu every year.
At Yiwu Market, countries such as France, Canada, Australia, and Spain display their products at booths called “national pavilions,” but until now there was no “Japanese national pavilion.” The newly established “Japan National Pavilion” is the first booth officially recognized by Yiwu Market, and will serve as a bridge to promote trade and cultural exchange between Japan and China.
* ▼Speech by our representative Takenaga (*partial excerpt)* “Aucfan Group conducts transactions globally on four axes: “Japan to China/China to Japan,” and “Online/Offline.”
In May of this year, as part of our “From China to Japan x Offline” initiative, we opened an exhibition called “Japan Tokyo Yiwu Selection” in cooperation with Yiwu. Here, Japanese buyers can directly purchase products from Yiwu.
In addition, as part of the “Japan to China x Online” initiative, NETSEA We have released a platform called CHINA. Here, Chinese buyers can order Japanese products online and conduct transactions smoothly. We will continue to aim to revitalize trade between Japan and China based on four axes. ”
At the opening ceremony, a lion, a symbol of traditional Chinese culture, appeared and performed a gorgeous dance. In China, there is a culture in which a lion eats lettuce and spits it out to pray for business prosperity, and there was also a scene where a lion tore up lettuce and threw it to pray for the success of the Japan National Pavilion.
The Japan National Pavilion displays many products ordered from various Japanese manufacturers. Due to their high quality and practicality, Japanese products are very popular overseas, and are widely supported from beauty goods to daily necessities.
Through the Japan National Pavilion, we will provide buyers visiting Yiwu Market with new purchasing options, while also distributing high-quality Japanese products to all parts of the world. We will continue to work closely with Yiwu Market in all aspects, including logistics, distribution, and marketing, to build an efficient and convenient trade network between Japan and China.
