Review of 4th CMGS

5 days, 320,000 visitors, 1.76billion yuan trading volume, 22.8billion yuan contracting volume……. The 4th CMGS was closed on May 23rd, 2016.

It was another new successful CMGS!

Chenzhou city was confirmed as a new increasing pole of Hunan province economic development by Hunan Provincial Party Committee and Hunan Government half a year ago. Hunan Government confirmed to fix CMGS in Chenzhou city permanently, which indicated that the “show opens on the pithead” will never be closed.

Facing the impetus and pressure, as well the chance and challenge, Chenzhou city presented a perfect answer sheet for the quiz of 4th CMGS.

Being international

Opening “south gate” to attract more investment

Thanks to last successful CMGS that a new window was opened to Chenzhou city.

“We attended the show last year and in this year, and we will attend it next year,” sincerely said Nicky who is the CEO of Minerama, France. He is a professional merchant of mineral gems. Thanks to the CMGS, he got familiar with Chenzhou city, visited there, and then “fell in love” with Chenzhou.

Similarly as Nicky, hundreds thousands of visitors were attracted to Chenzhou city via CMGS.

Before the opening of the show, merchants from over 40 countries as UK, the USA, India, and etc. booked more than 500 stands which were 300 more than last time, and merchants from HK, Macau, Taiwan and domestic merchants booked 300 stands and 1500 stands respectively. All the 2300 international stands were booked out in less than 2 months.

Some of the merchants visited the show for many times. “All products were with good market and the buyers were enthusiastic,” said Yan Jingrong who was from Korea. As he mentioned, he has been to over 60 countries, but CMGS held in Chenzhou city was his favorite one.

In the opening ceremony of the show, more than half of the seats set in the platform were sited with honorable foreign guests who were ambassadors and political VIPs from 19 countries as Australia, Cote d’lvoire, and etc. That was the highest level foreign guests ever been to Chenzhou. All the guests witnessed the events of the show, as well as fertile, beautiful, and friendly Chenzhou.

Summit forum of CMGS was held on May 20, 2016. A batch of international experts shared their ideas with Chinese experts, which enabled the audience to enjoy an impressive cultural feast.

As the transitional zone between east costal area and central and western regions of China, “south gate” of the junction of Yangtze River open economic belt and costal open economic belt, and the resource-oriented economic entity, Chenzhou city took active actions to dock with the international industrial china under the general background of economic globalization, which is not only the necessity for reform and open up, but also necessity for transformation development.
Chenzhou strode the first step on gaining more speaking rights of mineral gem industry of the world via the CMGS.

Hundreds of taxi drivers who can speak English, more than 300 dedicated volunteers, clean exhibition halls on/after show, and other aspects showed the confident and innovative spirits of Chenzhou city via the show.

Attractive CMGS, global sharing; beautiful Chenzhou, linking with the world--- the small city of south Hunan which was new increasing pole of Hunan province presented “international image” to the world.

Being market-oriented

The government provided “stage”, and enterprises played the leading role

“Though the show is popular, its real effect is poor”- many regional shows often face such dilemma situation. Concerned for Chenzhou city, it is hard to keep the long term operation of CMGS without the assistance of others.

On this instance, the decision group of Chenzhou city has clear idea: “Chenzhou city will promote the exhibition economy which represented by CMGS to the market gradually, and establish the development model of ‘guiding by government, sponsoring by association, supporting by entities, and operating by market” for exhibition economy.

In this April, “Jingui Silver” which was authorized as the sponsor of 4th CMGS was marked ahead of the CMGS- it was the first time for the show to do so, which greatly helped to popularize Jingui Silver as well

The features of Jingui Silver- “the first stock of Chinese silver”, “silver industry chain company”, and etc. became hot words of the network.

CMGS, stand of Jingui Silver- 3.8-ton real silver mountain attracted many visitors there.

On May 21, 2016, “internet+ non-ferrous metals” summit forum which was one of the key events of 4th CMGS was held by Jingui Silver “Zhaojinyin Net” under the name of organizer. Many experts on non-ferrous metals, internet, science and research, and other fields were invited to share their ideas with each other. “Internet+ non-ferrous metals” will become the new driving force for the transformation of non-ferrous metal industry and some other ideas were proposed by the experts.

Jingui Silver which was developed in Chenzhou city is becoming global with the assistance of CMGS.

Besides Jingui Silver, Amer Group was another pop star in this show.

In the concentrated signing ceremony of 4th CMGS which was held in the morning of May 19, 2016, Amer Group was the most shining star. After signing the framework agreement of Mineral Gem Industrial Park with Chenzhou Government, it reached the strategic cooperation framework agreement with Huarongxiangjiang Bank (headquarters), signed the agreement with Shenzhen Cuilv Jewry Group and some other high-tech manufacturing companies on deepening processing projects which will be developed in Chenzhou city. All of this highly indicated its strong power on “attracting investment via investment”. The total contracting volume was amounted to 21.8billion yuan on that day.

The idea - “the government provided ‘stage’, and enterprises played the leading role” was clearer in the 4th CMGS.

Being fruitful

Sharing “Chenzhou dream”, improving transformation development

4th CMGS tried great efforts on seeking practical results and transformed the exhibition effects into real results, which found a practical way for “Chenzhou dream” which was concerned about the transformation and upgrading of non-ferrous metals industry.

“We should reply on CMGS and try best to improve Chenzhou city to be a low-lying land of international mineral resources and mine rights trading center”, highly expressed by the decision-making level of Chenzhou Government.
Credit is the premise for trading.

Thanks to the rich cultural heritage, credit is the most distinguished grounding of Chenzhou city.

Free authenticate stands were set by the experts of Ministry of Land and Resources on two wings of the main exhibition hall of CMGS. All exhibits and products should be suspected by the professional devices. “We stayed here for 5 days, but no fake item found here,” said one of the staffs of the authenticate stands, “it is really great for CMGS!”

“Real and boutique gems” is the tenet undertaken by this CMGS. Due to higher level suspecting standards, the fake items are not capable to get access to the show, but the higher level collectors and exhibits are open to be there. It was learned that more than 3000 precious gems and over 100,000 exhibits were displayed on this show.

High-end exhibit and elaborate management helped to attract high-end buyers that “Brazil Rose” and native copper “copper heart of the earth” were bought by the Chinese collectors on the show.

CMGS has been marked as “high-end” show by the industry and becomes a “highland” for leading the exchange of mineral gems.

A handy tool makes a handy man .

On May 18, 2016, International Ecommerce Trading Platform of Mineral Gems was launched in Chenzhou city.

On May 19, 2016, Hunan International Mineral Resources Exchange Center which was invested by Amer Group was inaugurated in Chenzhou city. It aimed to reach the trading target of 10billion yuan in the end of this year.

In the concentrated signing ceremony of 4th CMGS, Hunan International Mineral Resources Exchange Center signed the contracts with a batch of technological companies and scientific research centers on the improvement of evaluation center of mineral resources and international authenticate center of mineral crystals (gems).

A trading platform, an exchange center, a batch of evaluation centers- Chenzhou city is capable to play as “the operator of the pithead” rather than just depends on the trading of mineral resources.

More than 55 media from domestic and abroad dispatched over 100 journalists to handling the reports of CMGS, which greatly helped to popularize the fame of Chenzhou city internationally.

Though 4th CMGS was closed now, it is just a beginning for Chenzhou city’s transformation development and improvement of new increasing pole of Hunan province.
