Why is it Giant?,
The visiting delegation of mainland teachers and students arrived at the Taichung Giant Bicycle Culture Exploration Museum around 10 o'clock today.
Giant cannot succeed without Chinese Mainland
Giant, a huge group of listed companies from Taiwan, known to cycling enthusiasts around the world, currently has 5 factories and more than 2000 distribution and service outlets in Chinese Mainland. In September 1992, the Taiwan Giant Group was located in Kunshan. In 1994, Giant Technology Co., Ltd. was officially put into operation in Kunshan; In February 2004, it was awarded the title of "Famous Trademark" by the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, making it the first Taiwanese company to receive this honor.
Giant Group's revenue in the first five months of this year was NT $34.9 billion, with Giant China showing the most impressive performance. The sales in the first five months increased significantly by over 70% compared to the same period last year. In June 2023, the Giant Group held a shareholder meeting. Regarding the domestic market in China, CEO Liu Yongchang expressed optimism, "Outdoor sports are becoming increasingly popular in China, and the population of cyclists is significantly growing, driving strong demand for mid to high end vehicles."
Liu Yongchang, the Chief Executive Officer of the Giant Group, was the eldest son of Liu Jinbiao, the founder of the Giant Group, and was the vanguard unit that went to the mainland at that time. From 1998 to 2002, Liu Yongchang brought his successful experience in Chinese Mainland back to Taiwan and was responsible for the commodity planning, brand marketing and channel establishment of the giant group. Before Liu Yongchang returned to Taiwan, the impression that Jeanne gave everyone was that it was a gift for ordering newspapers, and Taiwan's annual revenue was only about 300 million yuan. He redefined bicycles and transformed cycling into a fashionable lifestyle and fitness item.
In fact, Ma Ying jeou himself also has a passion for cycling. He has visited Giante multiple times and Liu Jinbiao, the chairman of the Giant Group, has been appointed as a senior official by him.
Ma Yingjiu and Xiao Xucen: Giant is an example of Taiwan's industry achieving good development in mainland China
He also mentioned in his conversation with the Party Secretary of Peking University, Hao Ping, that this is an example of the good development of Taiwan's industry in mainland China. This trip aims to let students understand the development process of Giant Group in Taiwan, and I believe that students are also willing to know the development history of the bicycles they ride in mainland China in Taiwan.
Xiao Xucen also mentioned the communication with mainland students during the trip, stating that many mainland students claim to have known about Giant since childhood and have ridden Giant bicycles. Therefore, they are very excited to visit Giant today to learn about the development process of bicycles.
Xiao Xucen also said that this delegation has 31 mainland students and 6 teachers. I hope this is just the beginning. In the future, we can promote our Taiwan students to visit the mainland every year, and let mainland college students come to Taiwan. Visiting, more exchanges between young people on both sides of the strait will reduce the possibility of conflict.
Students of the mainland delegation: the enthusiasm of the Taiwanese makes people feel particularly warm
Chen Shihua, a member of the visiting delegation of mainland Chinese teachers and students and a 2022 undergraduate student from Peking University, said today that this is her first time in Taiwan and she feels particularly warm and happy about the scenery and enthusiasm of Taiwanese people.
Chen Shihua also mentioned her experience of visiting the Giant Bicycle Culture Exploration Museum today, stating that she deeply understands that "innovation has changed our lives.". "I think TSMC's Innovation Museum has shown me the rapid development of technology, but today at the Bicycle Exhibition Hall, I feel like I have slowed down and found a rhythm that suits me," said Chen Shihua.
Sun Peng, a member of the visiting delegation from mainland China and a student from Hunan University, said in an interview that he is very happy to come to Taiwan and participate in so many visits. Today, he visited Giant's bicycles and said, "As a science and engineering student, I am still interested in this area and have gained a lot."
"I had a great time chatting with everyone as soon as we met, so I feel very honored to have such an opportunity to communicate. I also feel that this place is really warm to us and I really like it," said Sun Peng.
Zhang Yumeng, an undergraduate student from the Law School of Wuhan University who is also a member of the visiting delegation from mainland China, mentioned yesterday's exchange with friends in Taiwan. She said that after more than three months, seeing Mr. Ma Ying jeou and the young friends of the foundation again, she felt more warmth and warmth in her heart. She said, as Mr. Ma Ying jeou said, the communication between young people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is "natural and irresistible", which was also confirmed in a day of communication with Taiwanese friends.
Li Jiannan: Young people's communication is very important for both sides of the Taiwan Strait
Therefore, it is very necessary to have more exchanges between the two sides at this time, in order to enhance mutual understanding, avoid many misunderstandings, and avoid a misjudgment of many things.
Li Jiannan also stated that for both sides of the Taiwan Strait, communication among young people is very important.
