Intro
Why Vietnam Market?
Numerous economic institutions and the press have presented a rosy outlook for many developing countries, but most are predicting the future based on their rich population and recent years of growth. As a result, countries such as Brazil and South Africa, which have been in the limelight for years, have not seen any further development and are being ignored by investors.
This is an analysis that gives a lot of weight to the simple potential of population and resources. Now that I have been in Vietnam for six years, I think it is necessary to sort out my view on Vietnam in terms of the possibility of Vietnam's development.
- Vietnamese people thirst for learning
Vietnam is one of the countries with the lowest literacy rates with Korea and Japan.
According to a book titled "Private Education: The Phenomenon and Response" published by the Ministry of Education and Science in 2010, 76.7% of Vietnamese middle school students receive private tutoring. In comparison, 77% of middle school students in Korea and 75.7% of middle school students in Japan receive private tutoring. It is an unexpectedly high figure, but in fact, when you go around the alleys all over Vietnam, you can easily see the small corner shop in the daytime and the nighttime study room.
In addition, parents who are waiting for their children to study late can always see their surroundings in schools and academies. Vietnam is also famous, the entrance heat to go to prestigious university is hot. So there are as many English and academies in Vietnam as there are in Korea.
VN Parents waiting their child for pick up when finished class. Some parents pick up at night theire child who studying at nigt time
The country is hard to develop if the majority of people have no desire to learn, no matter how many people and the resources they have
I recall a fifth grade world history class in elementary school. In a part of learning Southeast Asia, world history teacher said. 'The Philippines and Indonesia have a lot of resources and a large population, so they will develop very soon.' But even now, more than 30 years later, the Philippines and Indonesia are still very likely to developing with just huge potential..
There is a story that is common to all those who work in Vietnam or work with Vietnamese people as expatriates.
If you teach to Vietnamese people something new, they learn quickly and create new ways and improved ways.
Especially, most of the people who run factories came to Vietnam after running factories in China or Indonesia, so it is relatively objective to compare the general working attitude and learning ability of people from other countries. I also like to see our Vietnamese staffs quickly learning how to do well if you just give a good guideline to work is not a couple of times to admire. There is a reason why Samsung Electronics selected Vietnam as the world's largest mobile phone factory site.
The common points of Korea, Japan, and China are that they regard learning as the first place as people with Chinese characters and Confucian culture. The desire for learning was the greatest driving force of Korea - China - Japan development.
Vietnam is geographically in Southeast Asia.
But culturally in Northeast Asia!
Now people should call it 4 Northeast Asia countries,
not 3 Northeast Asia countries!
Also, if you look at the immigrants in Europe or North America, you will be convinced that the country will be good. The Asian people who succeeded in the immigrant society by forming their own community while living like crazy are Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese. In the case of graduates from the United States or Europe who have advanced to high school or have succeeded in politics, they are Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese. The characteristics of these three nations are that they live hard and do not give up education for their children.
If the situation of the Koreans who ran the tent in the war pit and the bombing and search of the US military, and digging a tunnel in the deep underground, and the Vietnamese people who did not forget to teach their children are overlapped, Do not you see it?
One of Ho Chi Minh's famous anecdote about the heat of education. At the time of the war between Vietnam and the United States, Ho Chi Minh sent talents people to Eastern Europe, including the Soviet Union, Czech Republic and Poland. The students who were selected at the time refused to go to abroad and saying that they would stay in Vietnam and fight. But Ho Chi Minh said firmly.
Fighting with a gun is not the only war.
You are the people who will rebuild this nation after the war is over.
From now on, your gun is a pen and book. You must learn a lot and come back and help this country
The Vietnamese market is a very difficult and particular market, but it is a very attractive and unlimited potential. When you first arrive in Vietnam, the things that are likely to be caught in your hand are thought to be really difficult as time goes by. But it is difficult for others to jump in easily and I can expect great achievement if I do well.
