Chapter 102: Do your best
The double-reaction lawsuit of Yunyao webbing can be regarded as an industry precedent, and there is no case that can be used as a reference.
If you want to refer to it, you can only refer to other industries.
Si Nian's lighter response to the lawsuit is a national precedent regardless of industry, but the difference is still a bit big.
When Si Nianjia responded to the lawsuit, there were more than 300 employees.
In terms of volume and scale, it is much smaller than the current Yunyao webbing.
"I think it should still be a reference, this kind of investigation abroad should be a very mature model, although the industry is different, but the terms of verification should be similar. "The tide is long and optimistic.
He received a Western-style education from an early age and often participated in international competitions, so he was quite familiar with all kinds of investigations and verifications.
"That's right, I'll take you to the office where the lawsuit is answered. In order to respond to the lawsuit this time, we even bought four printers. Yun Zhilei was a little stunned by the tediousness of the investigation.
Finally, the result of the preliminary ruling was zero tariff, and the on-site verification had to be tossed again.
Fortunately, there is a whole team and the support of various departments, and if he does it himself, it is really impossible to do it.
"I actually feel that there is nothing to prepare, just what should be done, isn't this how our preliminary ruling results came out?" Yun Zhilei has always had this attitude.
Yunyao webbing from Yun Chaochao was born several years ago, began the construction of a modern enterprise system.
Yun Zhilei has enough confidence in Yun Yao webbing.
He didn't want to do things like cramming, and he didn't feel the need to do them.
Yun Zhilei has always been big-hearted, and his business philosophy is to grasp the big and let go of the small, and there is no Yun Chaochao so comprehensive.
At a deeper level, in this double anti-dumping investigation, although only Yun Yao Ribbon has adopted the strategy of actively responding to the lawsuit, Yun Zhilei is not fighting alone.
The anti-dumping and anti-dumping investigation has never been just a matter between the plaintiff's enterprise and the defendant's enterprise.
It is a game between different national industry associations, and even between countries.
For anti-dumping, an application must be filed with the Ministry of Commerce of the country where the dumped product has harmed its interests, and then the Ministry of Commerce of the country where the plaintiff enterprise or industry association is located will initiate the investigation procedure.
At the beginning of the investigation, it is necessary to notify the relevant [parties] of the party being investigated.
This includes, but is not limited
the exporter of the commodity under investigation;
the importer of the commodity under investigation;
trade associations in the exporter's country;
the exporter's country in the country's commercial sector;
Producers of similar products in the importing country;
A trade association for importers of similar goods.
With so many parties, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for a company to be able to make its own decisions behind closed doors.
Anti-dumping measures must be taken by the government, from the initial examination, to on-the-spot verification, and then to follow-up, and enterprises and industry associations do not have this authority.
In this way, it is inevitable that the governments and industry associations of both the country where the plaintiff company is located and the country where the defendant company is located will be involved.
The general direction is controlled by relevant departments, industry associations and lawyers, and Yun Chaochao and Chaochang, who are still students, are all students, and even if they all come back, it is impossible to help much.
This is also why he did not tell Yun Chaochao about the on-site verification.
"The DPRK is mainly worried about the details. It may end up being a little bit worse, especially the countervailing, which could have been less than 1%, but has become a little more than a little bit, and there is no way to do it once and for all, so I want to come back and see. ”
Chao Changchang has been told by his girlfriend several times to focus on where to focus.
Yun Zhilei is good at controlling the general direction of development.
But in terms of details, he has always relied on his own baby girl to remind him.
This is true in life, and it is also true in factories.
The only exception is that such a trivial matter as not allowing you to eat instant noodles is the general direction of Yun Zhilei.
For a long time, the turnover rate of Yunyao ribbon workers has been much lower than that of other factories in the industrial zone.
In this, it can be said that at least half of it is the credit of the Yun Dynasty.
The whole set of welfare systems for Yunyao ribbon workers was helped by Yun Chaochao in the first year of junior high school.
Growing up in a factory, she knows best what the needs of the workers are.
There is often some stroke of genius.
For example, plan a basketball court.
When Yun Chao mentioned it, Yun Zhilei still felt that not many workers would like the basketball court.
In line with his daughter's proposal, as long as he does not hurt his body, he must vigorously support the principle, Yun Zhilei still agreed.
As it turned out, Yun Chaochao was right.
After the basketball court was picked up, the turnover of male employees dropped by 8%.
Later, he simply formed the Yunyao Ribbon Staff Basketball Team, and from time to time he had to play games with other big factories, and even the cheerleading team was very regular.
For example, if you have worked in the factory for more than five years and have produced and sold your own products, or if two people have worked for more than ten years combined, you can apply for a couple's dormitory.
The girl had a lot of strange ideas, some of which were even beyond her own age.
Surprisingly, every idea of hers worked effectively and helped Yun Zhilei solve practical problems.
Yun Lao has always regarded Rainbow Dash as his lucky star.
Miracle babies always work miracles.
This is a tacit understanding that the father and daughter have reached a long time ago.
It is precisely because of this that Yun Chaochao wants to be by Yun Zhilei's side during the on-the-spot verification of the double reversal.
Even if it's just a mascot, it's a good solution.
As soon as Chao Changchang got off the plane, he received a long email from Yun Chaochao.
More than 4,000 words, listing more than 40 details that may require attention.
Let Chao Changchang, a little Meng Xin who has never paid much attention to the operation of the factory, feel pressure.
Fortunately, the tide is a good learner and a long memory.
Otherwise, it must be the same as those who come to the site for verification, and they have to take a list to check everywhere.
Yun Chaochao's focus is very small, and it is those that seem to have nothing to do with the anti-dumping investigation, and may not actually have anything to do with it.
Normally, it may not be the point.
It's just that what Yunyao webbing wants to pick out now is already a detail, and the difference is within the range of one percentage point, so I really don't know which detail will be angry to the decisive role.
Under the framework agreement of the World Trade Organization, if an enterprise or industry association of one country wants its Ministry of Commerce to take anti-dumping measures against another country, it must meet three conditions at the same time:
First, there is a dumping fact on the part of the accused party.
Second, the dumping behavior of the accused party has caused substantial threat or damage to the prosecution party and its industry.
Finally, there is a direct causal relationship between the dumping facts and the injury result.
The export price of a product is lower than the normal price before it is considered to have a dumping relationship.
In fact, it is rare for companies to like to do loss-making business, and there is no one to export if there is no money to make.
Therefore, this so-called "normal price" is the focus of controversy.
The reason why the United States and the European Union have launched anti-dumping investigations on China's secondary industry at every turn can be said to have exploited the loophole that the [normal price] itself is abnormal.
When the United States and the EU take anti-dumping investigations against China, they choose the "comparable price of a third country" based on the principle of "fairness and prudence".
This means that it is clear that it is a company that investigates China, but what kind of price is considered dumping, but a third country is used for comparison.
Third-country comparable prices, in the first place, existed for the purposes of fairness and prudence.
There is a conflict of interest between the parties to the lawsuit regarding pricing.
When the means of production costs of the accused State are not available in the country, the price of the same or similar product of the third country, which is not related to the parties, is selected to determine whether the dumping fact is established.
In this way, the issue of conflict of interest can be circumvented.
However, whenever the EU and the United States sue Chinese companies for dumping, they will use the grounds that China was once planned and economic.
Whether there is dumping or not should be calculated from the price of raw materials.
When it is easy to find the means of production at home, the price of the means of production is disturbed and distorted by non-market factors, and a country that they consider to have a similar level of development as China is chosen as a substitute.
In this way, it runs counter to the fact that China is a developing country.
In the name of fairness and prudence, it is an unreasonable and discriminatory strategy.
If you don't actively respond to the lawsuit, you will be sentenced to anti-dumping duties several times higher at every turn, especially if there is no industry precedent.
This is also why industry precedents are particularly important in anti-dumping and anti-dumping investigations.
If Yunyao Webbing can win a complete victory in this double anti-dumping investigation, it will not just be at the level of self-sweeping snow in front of the door.
Yun Zhilei took Chao Changchang and Si Nian to the office specially prepared for the anti-dumping investigation.
It was a room of about 40 square meters that had been unused.
It stands to reason that this office is quite large, but after actually entering it, it seems very crowded.
Inside are mountains of papers.
It takes up at least half the area of an office.
"What are these?" Sinian was attracted by the height of the accumulation of papers.
"That's what we did this time. Yun Zhilei's answer.
Chao Changchang is also a little insightful: "This is too much, right?"
"That's not all, there are a lot of materials to be provided in the preliminary investigation, and 14 supplementary questionnaires were sent to us before the on-site inspection. For every question, hundreds of pages of material are required. ”
Yun Zhilei pointed to the four printers next to him: "These machines have not stopped, and tens of thousands of materials are being hit every day." ”
"It's the first time I've seen so much paper when I'm so big. Si Nian took a turn in the paper [Mountains and Seas]: "I have to take a photo and go back and ask if there were so many documents when we responded to the lawsuit back then." ”
Si Nian, a truant person, didn't look like he was truant at all.
If you don't hide it, forget it, I'm afraid that he will not know about it with the Suoyi people, and all kinds of friends will be sent to the circle of friends to find a sense of existence.
It's not easy to persuade Si Nian at this time, so he can only pretend that he didn't see it.
Big Brother Si Nian was still having a breakdown last night, and it looks normal today, but I don't know how long it will be normal.
"I was really frightened by this pair of documents, I opened a factory, and I did more than the information in the professor's office. Yun Zhilei and Si Nian chatted on the side, while waiting for Si Nian to pose in the pile of documents.
"Fortunately, after the on-site inspection, it will be over. Do you have any plans after the inspection?"
"Plans, won't the final ruling be made after the on-site verification is completed, and what else do you need?"
"If you are not satisfied with the final ruling, it can be overturned. "Chao Changchang has been studying the anti-dumping investigation for a while.
"How to overturn?" Yun Zhilei has not discussed with the lawyer team what to do if the result of the lawsuit is not satisfactory.
Normally, the final decision is the final result.
"When I went to the United Nations Youth Congress, I met a youth representative from Turkey, and I heard her talk about many Asian factories that went to Turkey to open branches in order to avoid various anti-dumping and anti-dumping investigations, and one of them continued to appeal after the final ruling. ”
Chao Changchang contacted all the resources he had.
If there is no precedent in the industry, go to other industries, and if there is no precedent in China, go to foreign countries.
In short, Yun Chaochao's affairs are more important than his own affairs.
Yun Chaochao's opinion is very clear: it is necessary to reduce the countervailing duty to less than 1%.
This on-the-spot inspection is already at hand.
Starting to tweak the details now doesn't guarantee a desired result.
"Will you continue to appeal after the final ruling?" Yun Zhilei heard the news for the first time.
"Yes, I also called today to find out, and after the verdict comes out, I can also sue the U.S. Department of Commerce in turn. Of course, it is best to go straight to the end of this on-site inspection, and if it doesn't work, take the next step. ”
Chao Chang is ready to fight a long battle, and at this point, he and his girlfriend are highly consistent.
"Well, have you ever asked how much does a countersuit cost?"
Now that the lawsuit has been carried out, Yun Zhilei is actually a little tired.
In terms of industry precedents, it is already a complete victory to be able to fight to the current state.
In any case, Yunyao webbing is the only zero tax rate.
After all, the difference between the 2% and 1% tax rates is already very small.
"How much has this lawsuit cost so far?" Chao Changchang asked in turn.
"Almost five or six million. "Yun Zhilei can only give a rough idea at present, after all, the final result still needs to be verified on the spot before it can come out.
"In the case of counterclaims, almost one-third is enough, and I think it is still necessary, and if the countervailing duty is not dealt with to the end, the plaintiff can submit a verification request to the U.S. Department of Commerce at any time. "Tide Changchang has figured out the difference.
If you have to deal with on-the-spot verification at any time, it is equivalent to hanging a knife called [countervailing duty] on the head of Yunyao's webbing.
If something goes wrong, the countervailing duty could be adjusted at any time.
If it is less than 1%, the result is protected by U.S. law, and the plaintiff has no way to make unreasonable demands.
More importantly, if this knife is not taken away, the future development of Yunyao Webbing will be tied, and it will not dare to apply for high-tech enterprises, dare not apply, and have no way to enjoy government subsidies.
