I have known Tianchen for several years. We came almost in front of and behind Foley. He moved here with his family from PEI after graduating from UNB. The family immigrated to PEI when he was in high school.
A young, handsome young man with a sunny look, but sometimes a little reserved and mature, with the temperament of a born businessman. The young man is young and his business is doing well. Although he tries to keep a low profile, he will inevitably be judged by others, but Tianchen takes it indifferently.
There is an unwritten rule that has been circulating in the Chinese immigration circle for a long time. The first-class successful immigrants become tenured professors, then enter government departments and even have a part-time job, and then work part-time. of. Old immigrants often tell young and energetic new immigrants with sincere words: There are not many business opportunities in this simple little place, so don't be impulsive. Finding a job is much more practical than doing business.
Perhaps it is this long-term preparation that has left too many opportunities for entrepreneurs in recent years. Tianchen definitely belongs to the so-called impulsive young people, but his multiple consecutive entrepreneurial successes are still very eye-catching. It also shows that opportunities exist and it is advisable to retain some impulsiveness.
It can be seen from this chat that Tianchen still attaches great importance to investment opportunities in commercial real estate, and has continued to conduct in-depth research in this field. Being able to stick to his own judgment and ideas during this crazy period of residential real estate in Canada has revealed his sufficient business acumen and certainty. I look forward to seeing his next stage of development and breakthroughs.
Of course, investment opportunities in commercial real estate are inevitably closely related to the economic market environment and population density of the region. When considering these two indicators, we Chinese immigrants need to be more cautious. Since the economic size and population size of this region are not comparable to any Chinese city, and there is even a huge difference in order of magnitude, this requires a relatively large revision of mature investment concepts and techniques from markets like China. . Some people will say more dogmatically that based on population and economic indicators, this area is basically equivalent to a Chinese town in the early stages of reform and opening up.
Indeed, the absolute data are estimated to be quite comparable, but the institutional conditions that affect the degree of market economy , cultural background, especially the impact of education and civilization on economic forms are hugely different. Therefore, when it comes to considering the market itself, cultural habits and consumption habits, it is really about adjusting the direction of the investment strategy. At this point, I feel that young people like Tianchen who have dual cultural influences from China and Canada are more likely to have clear and keen cognition. We must learn from them! Therefore, for integration into the business community, what is more important may not be your language, but more emphasis on recognition of local history, culture and socio-economic development facts rather than fabrication.
Speaking of the population here, NB Province has just exceeded the 800,000 mark, but this number is not even half of Tiantongyuan. Fulai, the provincial capital, has a population of over 70,000 people including the surrounding so-called Dafulai area. When I first came here, I would also pay attention to some data. At that time, I saw that the entire NB has maintained a net outflow of population data in the past nearly 10 years, and I often lamented! Looking at the data of the past two years since the epidemic, NB has maintained a net inflow of population for three consecutive years. Last year, the net inflow even exceeded 1%. This will have a huge impact on the entire economic structure of the region.
This is also a question I raised at the provincial government general election debate: Does the new government foresee the changes in the economic structure in the post-epidemic era, and what strategies are there to match it? At present, it seems that the conservative government’s economic reforms are not satisfactory to the people. We often joked that they were waiting for more smart Chinese immigrants to join us. But, who says it won’t?
