Chapter 385: WTO Accession Negotiations!
In the face of this achievement, without Natasha and Yang Jie's instructions, Jon only has one sentence, plus!
So in the third week, the number of theaters released in "Ghost Shadow" came to 2142, and the box office in the third week did not disappoint the company, this horror film continued to win 48.7693 million box office to win the first place in the weekly box office list in North America, and the total box office also reached 88.736 million!
This achievement scared everyone.
It is impossible for the news-chasing media to turn a blind eye to this, in fact, as early as the first week of the weekly box office rankings, some media began to pay attention to the film, and some reports also labeled the movie as a "dark horse", and with "Ghost Shadow" winning the box office championship for two weeks in a row, the film also detonated the United States.
"We're in front of the ticket office of a movie theater in New York, and even though it's early in the morning, it's like a party. ”
On the TV screen of the NBC news program, a middle-aged white reporter with a microphone in his hand narrated to the camera: "These young people are gathered here to wait to see the next "Ghost Record" because the first show has been sold out." ”
As soon as the camera turned, I saw young people in the ticket hall, reading, playing cards, chatting, and even some dancing hip-hop.
The reporter walked a few steps, called out to a white boy, pointed the microphone at him, and asked with a smile: "Hi, hello, are you here to see "Ghost Shadows"?"
The boy excitedly said "yes, yes" to the camera, and the female reporter asked again: "Why are you so eager to see this movie and would rather wait here late at night?"
The boy thought for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, but my friends around me have already seen it, and they asked me to come and see it." If I hadn't looked, they wouldn't even talk to me. ”
The program director cut the scene back to the live broadcast room, and the host smiled and said, "Let's listen to the opinions of parents and the police again......
NBC is naturally not advertising "Ghost Record", but reporting on a social problem that has been happening in the United States in the past two weeks: "Ghost Record" has caused a large number of youth Chinese New Year's Eve not to return home.
Of course, the "ghost craze" on the Internet continues, and the media knows about it, but there is no media to reprimand Xinyi Film Company for deceiving the majority of netizens, and soon some media will get the truth-
After all, Ollenpelly had pitched the film to many studios, and many of their buying managers regretted losing the film.
The reporter went to the actors' union again and interviewed and reported with Xinyi Film Company, but Jon took this opportunity to publicize the news that the company was going to put Tom France on the screen next, and also admitted that the company's previous propaganda methods of pretending to be ghosts were just counting on it to play an effect in the early days of the film's release, and now it seems that the effect is indeed very good.
Now that things have developed to the current situation, even if the audience knows the truth, they will still go to the cinema, and there is no need for the company to hide it.
Soon, the media also learned that the boss behind Xinyi Film Company was the famous Hollywood star Natasha, and at this time she took Ollen Pelli, Katie Fiderstone, Maika Slot, and Mark Friedrich to the headquarters of Harper's company, which produced the "Oprah Talk Show" in Chicago, to record an episode of the "Oprah Talk Show" promotional film.
At this time, Yang Jie had to rush to Seattle to have a secret talk with Shi Zhiming, Minister of Economic and Trade of China.
In fact, the Third Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization began a few days ago, and this time it was attended by trade ministers of almost 130 countries, and Shi Zhiming, Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of Huaxia, led a delegation to attend the meeting as an observer.
The Council of Ministers, the highest decision-making authority of the WTO, is held at least once every two years to discuss the further opening of markets and trade liberalization. The meeting focused on four issues, namely, agriculture, the implementation of the agreements negotiated in the previous round and the Urlaquay Round, market access and principles, and the WTO meeting in Seattle was only the beginning of a new round of negotiations, which is expected to last three to five years.
The Seattle meeting was a meeting of bargaining and bargaining, and countries engaged in fierce debates for their own interests, and the European Union and Japan drafted a document proposing to review and clarify the rules on antidumping, and South Korea, Switzerland, and other countries expressed support for this document, but it was resisted by the United States. The United States has asked the WTO to establish a mechanism to impose sanctions on countries deemed to be labor abuses, but developing countries have unanimously opposed it. They believe that they cannot be discriminated against because of the low price of their goods.
In the past few years, Huaxia has been an observer and has also applied to the organization to join the WTO, but it has been refused, and this time the United States suddenly put Huaxia as a member of the WTO as a topic of this meeting, which caught the delegation a little off guard.
As a condition for joining the World Trade Organization, the United States also privately put forward very strict demands with the delegation headed by Shi Zhiming, demanding that the average tariff on industrial products of Huaxia be reduced to less than 8 percent after three years, especially the tariff on information technology products will be abolished in 03 years at the latest, and in the field of Internet and communications, it is even more required to be fully opened up within one year, and the restrictions on the proportion of foreign investment will be abolished.
Obviously, the United States is also aware that Huaxia has made great progress in the communications and semiconductor industries, and this time it is natural to force Huaxia to open up its market, so that the chip products in which the United States is in a dominant position can enter the market of Huaxia.
The central government also attaches great importance to this, and as the leader of the leading company in the communications and semiconductor industries at this stage, Yang Jie was also called to Seattle to participate in a secret meeting with the delegation.
When Yang Jie rushed over, he also met Hou Wengui, Long Hongwei and others, and after a brief conversation with them, everyone hoped that the country could withstand the pressure and not open the mouth all at once, otherwise this would have a very big impact on the semiconductor industry that was about to take off.
After a while, Yang Jie and the others also saw Minister Shi Zhiming in the conference room, a middle-aged man with big ears and a very burly figure.
"Comrade Yang Jie, I asked you to come with you this time because I want you to tell you the truth, how much concession can we make in the semiconductor industry this time?" Shi Zhiming didn't hide it, and asked directly.
"Minister Shi, I know that you and the leaders of the central government want to join the WTO as soon as possible, and it will take six years for the domestic semiconductor industry to establish a complete industrial chain. Yang Jie said.
"Five years?" Shi Zhiming frowned and said, "The Americans only give us three years......"
"This shows that the Americans are also anxious," Yang Jie thought for a while and said: "Minister Shi, I suggest that the delegation negotiate with the United States to relax the restrictions on our country in terms of wafer factories, which can ease the pressure on domestic chip production capacity, and also allow advanced materials and material processing equipment to enter the country, which is also a promotion for the domestic chip industry." Now we are not afraid to compete with these foreign companies in the design of general-purpose processors and embedded processors, and the Americans want their chips to come in, then they will compete openly!"
"In the past, we did not have core technology in this area, these foreign chip companies relied on the advanced process technology of the wafer factory to beat the domestic chips, and now we have mastered the core technology in China, which has an essential difference, which company is not foundry for authorized domestic companies, and the cost will not be much worse than foreign chips, and it is impossible for those low-end chips to live so nourishing in China. ”
"Yes, now those domestic companies let us Huajing foundry basically have chip design drawings of 0.35 micron process technology, and most of the chips of 0.25 micron process technology are handed over to foreign wafer factories, and the current domestic process technology is the same as that of the United States, unless they don't want to make this money. Long Hongwei said at this time.
