○ 钟彬娴在清华学子时代论坛上的演讲 ○
of all the countries where avon does business, china is without doubt our fastest growing market. avon entered china in 1990, and we were the first international direct selling company to open our doors here. over the years we have adapted our selling techniques to the unique needs of the chinese consumer. today, we sell our products in a variety of different ways, with broad distribution through 5,000 independent beauty boutiques, owned and operated by entrepreneurs who are building successful avon businesses.
the majority -more than three-quarters-- of these beauty boutique owners are women, in keeping with avon's founding principles of providing business and financial opportunities for women. this is really the core of our business vision and it is consistent from market to market all over the world.
today, avon is proudly known as "the company for women" in every country in which we do business. and our ability to provide women with both quality products and a significant earnings opportunity has become an important competitive advantage.
it is one of the reasons our business in china has grown so rapidly right from the start. over the past four years we have experienced robust sales growth of 30% annually. in 2003, we expect to achieve total sales of $150 million to $200 million u.s. dollars. we have become the number one brand of skin care for chinese women, and we're also one of their top three favorite makeup brands. our facilities include 74 branches in 27 provinces, plus a $41 million state-of-the-art global manufacturing facility in guangzhou.
going forward, our strategy for avon recognizes china as the number one market in the world for future expansion, reflecting our strong commitment to bring new business opportunities to entrepreneurial women in every corner of this great country.
