Asia to the rescue once again! :)

Asia has yet again come to the rescue of a big multi-national company with McDonald's posting profits due to the increase in sales in the Asian markets, helped mainly by the opening of more stores on the mainland and other parts around Asia. The sales were much lower in the US and Asia is continue to bail out this huge company. By changing their menus around Asia and offering items that each country needs, sales have gone up and other marketing plans like opening stores around some Asian cities for 24 hours have done well too. The availability of drive through service in China too is a huge benefit since the number of people using and driving cars there has been surging.

Asia has come to the rescue for many companies around the world and now most of them have an Asian plan in set or to be done in the coming years, the big companies like Kraft, Pepsi, Coke, Mcdonalds, Fatburger and Buger King are doing a lot to expand here because they know how profitable this region is. It is not only for fastfood companies but all companies moving to Asia, if they can satisfy the people, profits are there to be made. Small companies should look at how serious companies are when moving here and have a plan in place soon.

Jewelery Maker has Asian theme!

Jewelery maker Nicole Moja was born in France and then moved to Italy and was raised there as a child but now she thinks and believes she is very Asian indeed. She studied in Japan for around 12 years and the  moved and lived in Hong Kong for around 20 years. She had a great feeling for craftmanship in Bali and moved there after Hong Kong. She started off being a fashion designer and moved on to become a jewelery designer because that was her passion. Being brought up in Europe and seeing great Value in Asia is a sign that the times are changing. Not surprising, her accessories have a distinctive regional flavour. Using gemstones like rubies, emeralds, sapphires, diamonds and South Sea pearls.

Many people from abroad are now moving here to Asia and realizing their dreams. The number of internet users here are increasing, the number of people buying online are going up, the population and economic powerhouses are here too. If Nicole has been successful here, there are chances for many others out there and using the virtual route will be a safe choice.

Thomson Reuters is the next big company to send its top executive to Hong Kong following the move of HSBC CEO to Hong Kong as well. The move comes to show how important the Asian market is becoming for all big companies around the world. Thomson Reuters employs more than 50,000 people and has a presence in around 100 countries, the move to the East signals that this is the region for the future news as Asia handles the after-effects of the crisis better. The president said in a statement, "Asia is the region that promises the fastest growth, not just at the moment but also for the future. My relocation will strengthen Thomson Reuters' commitment to the Asia-Pacific, which is the highest-growth region for this company"

They are doing more as well, there are plans in place to open up more offices in India and China and also the most important is to start having news done in different languages for the people in different areas. This is really big news since the news company seems to think the biggest and best stories related to finance will be in Asia. Getting into the Asian cyber space is equally important because this will be the main area for everyone involved.

Railway links to connect Asia!

Recently, China has developed fast trains that connect the main cities around China and the speeds have been the quickest seen by any trains anywhere around the world. Now China wants to use this technology and connect Asia together. The plan is for some regions to share their natural resources with China and the China will help them out with technological advancement like the train idea. There are several networks recommended so far. The first one is going to connect, Kunming and Yunnan with South-East Asian nations like Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia. Another link will be from Urumqi to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, and then possibly extend to Germany. Last one will start from Heilongjiang in the northeast and go north, cross Russia and aim for Western Europe.

The more connected Asia is, the more chances it has of overtaking the European nations and America for the most desirable economy. This rail connection will go a long way, it will somewhat resemble the rail network that can be seen in Europe. Asia is trying hard to become more connected and challenge other regions and being part of the Asian century can be done by absolutely anyone,

Taobao, the largest online shopping destination in China, has today announced the launch of the Taobao App Store. There will be an initial investment of around10 million RMB for this and it will be great for the online market and a great competitor for Western companies offering the same product or applications. Yet further proof of how the internet market in China is developing and the number of users coming online is increasing too. Also with the development of IDN, it means that the people who will be able to go online typing in their local language, it will make more of them go online and sites like these are going to benefit since they can change to that.

Yet another example of how active the internet users in Asia are. Constantly look for new ideas and this site from the comments, it can be seen that they sell stuff quite cheap and is very well known to Chinese people. The fact that this site is investing more and selling applications, comes to show how important the internet is becoming for people here and once you can build a solid reputation, the results will be enormous.
