[美国商业周刊]中国宣布对“雅芳小姐”解除禁令

来源:美国商业周刊编辑:2005-09-20阅读量:5980

92星期五时,北京宣布将于今年121日解除对直销的禁令,从而为像雅芳这类从事直销的公司理清了道路,以使其能进一步开拓化妆品和其他的消费市场。

中国政府于1998年禁止了直销,是由于当时老鼠会和金字塔盛行,而对于普通消费者来说,很难弄清楚直销和传销之间的区别。

这个禁令使雅芳、清洁用品制造商安利公司以及其它依靠独立直销人从事网络销售的公司受到很大挫折。

雅芳,安利,及其他8家直销公司当时被允许留在中国,但要求他们必须通过店铺来销售他们的产品。

 

据官方媒体新华报道:新条例包括了申请直销牌照的程序,并要求在中国从事直销的外国公司必须有至少三年在境外从事直销的经验。

根据新华社的说法,从事直销的公司必须注册资金在8000万人民币(1000万美元)以上,目的在于将那些较小的公司挡在直销市场之外。

今年4月,雅芳公司获得了直销试点牌照,可以在北京,东部城市天津及南部省份广东直接向消费者进行销售。

立法的消息在纽约证券交易所公布后,雅芳股票在证券交易所的股票价格从每股30.37美元上涨到每股46.25美元。

China
is lifting its ban on the Avon Lady.

 

Beijing plans to end a prohibition on direct sales on Dec. 1, the government

said Friday, clearing the way for such companies as Avon Products Inc. to expand into its booming market for cosmetics and other consumer products.

China banned direct sales in 1998, saying it was hard for consumers to tell the

difference between their sales networks and fraudulent pyramid schemes, which were common then.

The ban was a major setback for Avon, cleaning products maker Amway Corp. and other companies that depend on networks of independent salespeople.

Avon, Amway and eight other foreign direct-sales companies were allowed to stay in China, but they were required to sell their products through retail outlets.

The new rules include licensing guidelines and require foreign firms that want to get into direct sales to have three years of experience abroad, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

According to Xinhua, companies must have a minimum of 80 million yuan ($10 million) in registered capital, which is likely to keep out smaller competitors.

In April, Avon was allowed to sell directly to consumers on a trial basis in

Beijing, the eastern city of Tianjin and the southern province of Guangdong.

Shares in Avon Products, which is headquartered in New York, have traded in a range of $30.73 to $46.25 on th
