“CNQC + major projects”:
President of the Republic of Namibia complimented: well done!
On Nov. 07, 2015, China Cultural Center (Singapore) was officially inaugurated. It is the largest China cultural center with the most complete facilities abroad designed by Liu Taige, “the father of planning” in Singapore, perfectly integrating China cultural elements and modern building design philosophy. Qingjian International (South Pacific) Group Development Co. Pte Ltd., a famous China construction enterprise, was contracted to build it.
Over more than ten years since Qingjian International (South Pacific) Group Development Co.

Taking China Cultural Center (Singapore) as an example, the project is located in the downtown area of Singapore, adjoining Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), National Library Board (NLB), National Gallery, National Museum of Singapore and other cultural organizations, as well as high-rise buildings. Accordingly, it has great difficulty in construction. In order to reduce noise and disturbance to the buildings nearby, CNQC sent an outstanding management team and construction team for project construction. Through hard efforts paid and scientific organization carried out by them, the project was efficiently completed on schedule with quality guaranteed, obtaining general consent of relevant authorities.
However, achievements made in Singapore project are not a unique case.

In the completion ceremony of Namibian MR67 road project, President Hage Geingob made high praise: “WELL DONE!” as CNQC enriched its enterprise brands with 100% up-to-standard rate and excellence rate of 95% above guaranteed.
After creating brand in construction area, “CNQC + major project” was promoted logically.

In America and Australia, CNQC entered the market with an investment way, and cooperated with land agents for joint investment on estate construction;
CNQC is on a wider road on overseas construction, opening bigger construction market and becoming more and more famous.

“CNQC + international market”: joining hands with Qingdao enterprises to go out.
At the beginning of 2015, trial operation of building materials platform--“Quickly Buy”, jointly established by CNQC and local large-scale developers, builders and Commonwealth Association of Architects in Australia, began in Sydney. In view of its correct positioning and ability of providing consumers with “one-stop” services, upon opening, “Quickly Buy” quickly became the most popular building materials market in the locality.
For Chinese building materials enterprises thirsting for business development abroad, “Quickly Buy” is of more significance.
In order to help Chinese enterprises exploit international market, “Quickly Buy” well-designed by CNQC and its partners, creates brand-new operation mode of providing joined enterprises with hypermarket, warehousing and promotion free of charge. Suppliers can either export goods by themselves or sign agency agreement to entrust “Quickly Buy” to handle. All this not only saves cost of exploiting overseas market, but also minimizes risks. Accordingly, many building materials enterprises in Qingdao are settled in advance, bringing a new breakthrough in Australian market.
CNQC joints with other Chinese enterprises to go out, and exploits new development space in countries and regions along “the Belt and Road”. In the middle of 2015, it determined strategy of uniting famous Qingdao enterprises to jointly go out, signed strategic cooperation agreement with Aucma Group, Qingdao Beverage Group, Liqun Group, and other famous enterprises respectively, and established sales exhibition center for Chinese products (e.g. Aucma electric appliance, Lao Shan mineral water and soda water of Qingdao Beverage Group, as well as petty commodities of Liqun Group ) in African countries such as Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana.
Medium-sized and small enterprises will not be excluded. Qingdao International Chamber of Commerce for the Private Sector set up via promotion of CNQC will guide medium-sized and small enterprises to bring in and go out following development mode of “CNQC+”. In June 2015, the commerce introduced national delegation of Liberia and held investment promotion conference; in July, the commerce organized Qingdao enterprises forming an inspection delegation to pay a business visit to Africa; in November, the delegation conducted specific inspection on Cambodia and achieved good results, wining high praise from many enterprises.

This on-line and off-line interconnecting business platform aims to construct “No. 1 China-Africa business platform” through advantage integrating of resource allocation, so as to assist dealers in rapidly realizing procurement and sale of products. We have faith that, in the not-too-distant future, it will become a new highlight of overseas expansion of CNQC.
