Let’s discuss our views: foreign-funded enterprises in China, as well as domestic companies that produce high-performance valves, do not sell their products in their place of origin ； And must it be \"sailed across the ocean\" to be imported into China for sale? Many users have found that for the same products or services, those available and purchasable in their home country often have a quality that is \"much lower\" compared to foreign brands. So where can we find more high-quality valves from domestic brands? ? ? ? ? An engineer from a chemical company said. The quality of domestic brands is significantly \"much worse\" than that of foreign brands. ? ? ? ? ?Personally, I’ve observed that some users of high-quality domestic valves find the prices to be too high, which prevents them from selling well in the domestic market. And why do users still pay a high price to import valves of the same quality? ? ? ? ? For example, the head of a manufacturing company in Shanghai said that the high-quality piston-type electro-hydraulic valves and fire-resistant fuse emergency shut-off valves produced by their company are, due to factors such as cost, sold mostly in international markets. Some of the exports are imported back and sold to customers. In the domestic market, it’s often the case that your company’s prices are considered “too high”: Q:Q:Q, while in reality the export prices are between half and one-third of the import prices: P:P:P. The most troublesome issue is that many customers insist on having originally imported valves, yet many high-quality domestic brands as well as imported brand valves are actually manufactured in China. It’s arranged so that the valve outlet is brought back to the inlet. (Proof that it is imported): curse::curse::curse::curse: Just like in the case of Japanese toilet seats, its origin is Zhejiang. If this Zhejiang-based company sells the toilet seats exported to Japan under its own brand, it can do so at one-third of the price of exporting and then re-importing them. Still can’t sell more of it. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? :L:L:L Buyer: “Your products are much more expensive than those of other companies, and they’re not even branded.” (This is feedback on the actual sales performance of this company). ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? It is believed that more and more users are willing to purchase high-quality domestic valves
The moons in other countries seem rounder than those in China; P
A brand is a guarantee of quality; those producing high-quality valves in China should have a strong brand awareness
This is the philosophy behind a brand; as long as you have a brand, it doesn’t matter if your products are manufactured by others. Consumers recognize your brand, your services, and your after-sales support. Running a business means establishing a brand in the hearts of consumers
This is really a pain for us who sell valves. . . Sigh. I often feel so helpless.

Given the current market situation, this can only be achieved by imported brands that are actually selling something of poor quality under a fake name; for example, Ichiran Ramen – a fictitious Japanese brand that is very popular in China. Domestic products are entirely manufactured through external processing; when users go to the site to inspect them, they see that it’s a \"three-no\" product:lol:lol:lol. It’s still possible to place orders, as everyone understands:lol:lol
Our brand awareness is not strong enough; that’s why we are now promoting \"Made in China\". In fact, the quality of some domestic products is not inferior to that of foreign products – it’s even better in some cases. Of course, there are good ones and bad ones; it depends on the company’s brand awareness and its ability to keep up with technological advancements
Moreover, some valve manufacturers sell valves intended for export projects abroad at lower prices than those sold domestically; I don’t know why! We discovered it last year while working on a foreign project; we don’t know why

Thanks to export tax rebates :::lol:lol Now you know why the moon looks bigger in foreign countries; you also understand why goods are cheaper when sold abroad. The same product: 30% gross margin; it’s profitable to sell it abroad: lol. Selling domestically results in huge losses; let’s use an example: For exports, it’s 1000*30% = 1300. Subtracting 3.5% gives 1254.5. After deducting 5% for packaging and transportation, the amount left is 1235. The profit is then 300 - 20% = 240; after further deductions of 45.5 and 65, the actual profit is 129.5. When selling domestically (taking manufacturing companies as an example), public relations costs are not included (as you all understand). In this case, it’s 1000*30% = 1300. Subtracting 350 for raw materials leaves 650 for processing costs. Adding 300 for profit gives 950; after deducting 17% for value addition, the amount becomes 815.6. Subtracting 3.5% for business expenses yields 1254.5. After deducting 5% for packaging and transportation, the amount is 1235. The final profit is 300 - 20% = 240. The overall result is 300 - 134.4 - 45.5 - 65 - 60 = a loss of 4.9. It’s a truly unprofitable business: curse::curse:
Our brand awareness is not strong enough, so now they’re pushing \"Made in China\" – are you dreaming if you think that’s a viable approach? Take a look at the current situation of private enterprises: power supplies are cut off and restrictions are imposed, leaving them on the verge of collapse.
