Investment aim as agency targets China
英國倫敦經(jīng)濟發(fā)展署(LDA)計劃在北京和上海開設(shè)辦事處，試圖吸引亞洲各主要增長經(jīng)濟體更多的投資和游客。

倫敦經(jīng)濟發(fā)展署希望隨后在印度也開設(shè)辦事處。去年，倫敦金融城*(Corporation of London)和英國工業(yè)聯(lián)合會(CBI)雇主組織在中國建立了立足點，以改善商業(yè)關(guān)系?！灸F(xiàn)在閱讀的文章來自“中國人才指南網(wǎng)”，請記住我們的永久域名：www.cnrencai.com 】
The move, which the LDA hopes will be followed up with representation in India, comes after the Corporation of London and the CBI employers’ organisation established toe-holds in China last year to improve business relations.
中國是英國的第四大投資國。自2000年以來，已有110多家中國企業(yè)在歐洲設(shè)立業(yè)務(wù)，其中15%選擇了英國，而其中一半來到了英國首都倫敦。倫敦對印度企業(yè)的吸引力甚至更大，在118家2000年來已在歐洲開辦業(yè)務(wù)的印度企業(yè)中，有48家選擇倫敦作為基地。
China is the fourth largest investor in the UK. Of more than 110 Chinese companies that have set up operations in Europe since 2000, 15 per cent have chosen the UK, and half of those have come to the capital. London has been even more of a magnet for Indian companies, with 48 of the 118 that have set up operations in Europe since 2000 choosing London as their base.
倫敦經(jīng)濟發(fā)展署引資機構(gòu)倫敦投資局(Think London)研究經(jīng)理馬克•哈德威克(Marc Hardwick)表示：“倫敦已成為許多大型中國企業(yè)進入歐洲的門戶?！?BR> Marc Hardwick, research manager for Think London, the LDA’s inward investment body, said: “London has become the gateway to Europe for a lot of the big Chinese companies.”
過去，英國投資的強勁增長部分來自美國傳統(tǒng)的金融與商業(yè)服務(wù)產(chǎn)業(yè)和技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè)。但印度的軟件和信息技術(shù)服務(wù)企業(yè)在倫敦開辦業(yè)務(wù)后，眼下印度制藥和制造企業(yè)的“第二波”投資浪潮正加入其中。
In part, strong growth in investment had come from the traditional US sectors of financial and business services and technology. But Indian software and information technology services businesses were now being joined in London by “a second wave” of Indian companies in pharmaceuticals and manufacturing.
與此同時，中國的國營企業(yè)和一些私營企業(yè)開始在倫敦設(shè)立10到20人的辦事處，其中一些企業(yè)的投資規(guī)模更大，雇員達數(shù)百人。
Meanwhile Chinese state-run companies and some private businesses were setting up offices in London of about 10 to 20 people, with some companies investing more heavily and employing a few hundred staff here.
哈德威克先生稱，這些新的辦事處將有助于人們消除對倫敦某些過時的印象——“迷霧，圓頂禮帽和刻板的面孔”。
Mr Hardwick said the new offices would help to dispel some outdated perceptions of London – “fog, bowler hats and the stiff upper lip”.
倫敦經(jīng)濟發(fā)展署首席執(zhí)行官曼尼•劉易斯(Manny Lewis)稱，倫敦的文化活動，如近期舉辦并延續(xù)到3月底結(jié)束的中國文化節(jié)，是打造海外資本“品牌”戰(zhàn)略的一部分。
Manny Lewis, LDA chief executive, said cultural events in London, such as the current festival of Chinese culture that runs to the end of March, were part of the strategy to “brand” the capital overseas.
調(diào)查顯示，文化等無形因素對國際性企業(yè)的選址和投資決策有著強大的影響。
Surveys have suggested that intangible factors, such as culture, strongly influence the relocation and investment decisions of international businesses.
盡管倫敦的國際游客在截至2005年6月的年度增長了11.9%，游客支出增加了7%，人們還是擔心，去年7月7日發(fā)生的恐怖襲擊可能已減緩甚至破壞國內(nèi)和國際的旅游業(yè)增長。
Although international tourism to London increased by 11.9 per cent in the year to June 2005, with visitor spending up 7 per cent, there are concerns that the terrorist attacks of July 7 last year may have slowed growth and damaged both domestic and international tourism.
