My lecturer told us during our Marketing semester that if you
are able to sold one pen costing $1 to all Singaporeans++foreigner,
u get a gross profit of maybe 4 to 5 millions, if you sold to the
chinese in china, u make maybe 1 billion, and if u sold to
indonesians, u make about 400millions.
Welcome to Marketing, as the sony president once said, if all
chinese in china were to buy sony products, we can forget about all
the other asia countries.
As some posters here stated, chinese are the most business like
peoples, given the opportunity, they think of business, therefore
in a rural areas as indonesia, the native indos do not bother about
business, this give the chinese great opportunity to run business,
and with a market of 400millions consumers, just imagine. Indians
are also good business people but in indonesia there are no
indians, so in a rare opportunity, the chinese there rise to be
millionaires since the Dutch left them.
However having said that, when the indo riot, chinese are the ones
going to suffer, the last time, chinese were even beheaded in the
public. You dun be surprise as i did when i visited a rich chinese
relative in Jakarta, their house have 4 rotating bodyguards.
