1
Whilst markets may be global, not all products are universal.
2
Multinationals need to analyze their target territories, adjust their marketing strategy, and adapt their products to meet local preferences.
3
China is a vast country with a rich elite and the world's largest middle class.
4
This makes it a highly attractive market to multinational companies.
5
There's a strong appetite for Western goods and brands.
6
Chinese consumers have their own preferences.
7
Therefore, product customization is an important consideration for selling into China.
8
This can affect both high -end luxury goods as well as mass -market consumer brands.
9
cars are one example at the luxury end of the scale
10
volvo launched a new high -end sedan in shanghai it is
11
customized for the chinese market they have removed the front passenger seat to make more room in the back
12
and added a host of luxury features why because wealthy chinese have drivers
13
and won't ever need the front passenger seat they want more
14
room in the back jaguar adopted a similar approach for their new sedan.
15
They didn't go as far as removing a seat, but they packed the rear with luxury features.
16
The focus is on chauffeur driven.
17
There's a lot of chauffeur driven cars within Hong Kong and mainland China.
18
It's a very unique product
19
that we think really appeals to premium customers who want a good experience in one of our cars.
20
But it's not just the richer consumers in China who are spending money on Western goods.
21
China's huge middle class is a good opportunity for mass market consumer brands.
22
But those global brands also have to adapt, even if only slightly.
23
For example, at the opening of Starbucks' flagship store in China, we could see that the Starbucks branding,
24
known all over the world, was different.
25
The words weren't there.
26
This made it clearer for consumers used to the Chinese alphabet.
27
The rest of the world associates Starbucks with coffee.
28
China, however, is the home of tea.
29
So in China, Starbucks has adapted the brand to specialize in selling a range
30
of premium teas whilst still offering the same Starbucks experience to consumers.
31
Some of the teas that they're going to sell in China, black tea with ruby grapefruit and honey.
32
And then there's a green tea with aloe.
33
So, you know, so that continues to reinforce that premium feel of Starbucks, right, that you're drinking something a little bit different.
34
And, of course, Starbucks also hopes to convert the Chinese to coffee.
35
You know, people say, well, why go to China because they drink tea and not coffee?
36
And I'm saying, what an opportunity.
37
We believe that the coffee consumption will continue to grow here.
38
And we want to set a standard for that growth.
39
China will continue to grow as a market for multinational companies wishing to appeal to the middle class and the wealthy.
40
And while the market continues to exist, so will novel adaptations of Western products in the Asian market.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
