1 Shopping:

Staying at home and "sea-torturing"

The arrival of the FTZ means that you can "sea-torture" products from all over the world on e-commerce websites in China. Most importantly, these products are expected to domestic logistics speed and price delivery. Simply put, Shenzhen citizens no longer need to queue up to go to Hong Kong to shop, directly to Qianhai to take a look, and then use the phone to place an order to buy Australian milk powder, Japan and South Korea cosmetics and so on.

Price is a major concern for the public. The reporter learned that the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, for example, the price of imported goods cheaper than the market by 10% to 30%. At present, Tempus bonded store has opened in Qianhai, can supply maternal and child supplies, cosmetics and other daily necessities and part of the fresh food, including milk powder and diapers prices than Hong Kong is also cheaper than 10% to 20%.

2 Buy a car: luxury cars at a minimum of 70% off

In February this year, the Shanghai Free Trade Zone parallel imported automobile pilot officially opened the gate, parallel imported cars bypassed the general distributor, regional dealers, 4S stores and other sales links, eliminating a lot of intermediate links. As a result, buying the same imported car from the FTZ will be cheaper than a traditional 4S store by anywhere from 15% to 30%, up to 70% off the 4S store price!

Last month, the Ministry of Commerce has approved the pilot parallel import in Qianhai. Reporters in the main parallel imported car business in the Qianhai B Chen company showroom to see, an angry ram - Dodge Ram 2014, 5.7L classic large-displacement American pickup truck in the domestic website's latest offer of 750,000 yuan, while in the Qianhai to buy as long as 490,000 yuan, as much as 30% cheaper.

With the establishment of the FTZ, the establishment of foreign-funded hospitals will be further liberalized, foreign investment into the field of medical services significantly reduced the threshold, not out of the country can experience foreign-funded hospitals medical services.

Shenzhen also said it will support foreign medical service providers to set up joint venture or wholly-owned hospitals in the Qianhai Cooperation Zone. In addition, as foreign hospitals introduced to the FTZ are basically leading international medical equipment, so that the domestic people spend the same money, you can get better service.

4 Money: home fried U.S. stocks Hong Kong stocks

November 17 last year, Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Exchange "opened the gate", realizing the dream of domestic residents to configure assets outside the country, becoming the current hot topic in the capital market. However, at present, domestic residents through the "Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect" can only invest in Hong Kong stocks, and there is a capital threshold of 500,000 yuan. The FTZ provides another possibility: according to the relevant provisions of the FTZ individuals can open a free trade account, foreign individuals can also open a free trade account in the zone.

A few days ago, the Qianhai Management Bureau said, Shanghai FTZ's existing free trade accounts as a "replicable and scalable" attempt, it is very likely to be replicated in Qianhai. If the policy can be promoted in a wider area, Chinese people will have more international investment and financial opportunities.

"Hong Kong and Macao service providers are allowed to set up wholly-owned talent agencies", these talent agencies have a large number of resources outside the country, and their presence in the FTZ means that it will be more convenient for both entrepreneurs to recruit from overseas and for foreign-funded enterprises to recruit in the mainland.

In addition, as the FTZ is committed to creating an internationalized, rule of law, market-oriented business environment, there is bound to be a considerable demand for high-level talent, especially in the fields of finance, logistics and IT, many university graduates as well as professionals will have the opportunity to get an "international salary" that far exceeds the level of the same industry, without having to leave the country.
