Chapter 214: The Finale (Part II)

Zhonghua Group, the car is sold, and the money is earned.

I thought that the Chinese auto giant, which fell from the top of the global car sales list, would go downhill, but I didn't expect it to burst out with strong vitality in the next few years, and its sales rebounded steadily, forming a world iron triangle structure with Toyota and Volkswagen.

So far, people all over the world have become accustomed to China's car sales occupying the top three positions, and have also tacitly acquiesced that Made in China has become an important force that cannot be ignored in the automobile industry.

And Han Hao also continues to be active on the global political and business stage, becoming a veritable light of the Chinese.

In January 2017, the world-renowned President of the United States carried out a transfer of power, and Trump was unexpectedly elected as the new overlord of the planet.

When all forces around the world rushed to contact this emerging leader, Han Hao was invited as a friendly envoy to become the first Chinese to meet with Trump.

He brought goodwill from the Chinese business community and hoped that trade exchanges between China and the United States would continue.

"Messengers from China walked into the office of the new US president, and their meeting heralded a new historical juncture in Sino-US economic and trade relations. ”

The U.S. media have reported on this, knowing that Trump came to power with a tough attitude towards China trade.

In fact, the short 30-minute meeting was basically just a courtesy greeting, but Trump clearly said that he hoped that Han Hao would increase investment in the United States and bring more jobs back to the United States.

Han Hao also conveyed the goodwill of the Chinese business community in place, and frankly said that Sino-US cooperation will be a win-win pattern of mutual benefit.

"I have a very good relationship with Han, he is a very powerful business person, and he promised to invest more in the United States. ”

When reporters pressed him about Trump's meeting, he said this.

Although it sounds polite, there is no doubt that Trump, who has entered politics from business, still has a certain respect for a business giant like Han Hao.

Relations between major powers have never been determined by personal likes and dislikes, and Sino-US trade frictions soon appeared frequently after Trump took office.

In April 2018, ZTE, one of China's 5G communications pioneers, was banned by the U.S. Department of Commerce for violating the ban and announced that it would ban the purchase of sensitive products from U.S. companies for the next six years.

As soon as the ban came out, it was equivalent to blocking ZTE in the world, which gave the Chinese business community a head start.

Due to the global distribution of the chip industry, most of ZTE's chip purchases come from abroad, and the ban is equivalent to paralyzing China's second-largest communications equipment company.

After the company actively mediated to save itself, ZTE finally accepted stronger regulatory measures and paid a fine of $1 billion, and ZTE was exempted from the ban.

The trade friction that was originally a petty fight has suddenly risen to a higher level, and tough trade with China has become the mainstream ideology of the United States.

ZTE is just the chicken that kills the chicken and sets an example for the monkey, and its experience is just the opening statement, and the main event is still to come.

In September of the same year, the United States announced a 10% tariff on $200 billion of Chinese imports, officially opening the curtain of the Sino-US trade dispute.

It marks that the economic and trade relations between China and the United States have officially entered a new historical stage.

As the leader of China's largest private enterprise and the leader of China's new generation of business circles, Han Hao clearly understands that the history of the Japan-US trade war will be repeated today.

In order to maintain its economic supremacy, the US government will relentlessly suppress any forces and countries that challenge it.

Anyone with a brain knows that ZTE is just the beginning, far from the end. There are even many people who speculate that Zhonghua Group will become ZTE's second and receive a new ban from the United States.

In this regard, Han Hao also had a psychological plan.

On the table in his office is the newly released "American Trap", written by a former executive of the French company Alstom, who dissects the process of the US government's suppression and dismemberment of the French company Alstom with his own experience.

Suppressing a company with the power of one country, especially with the body of a global hegemon, is enough to easily crush any existence.

This is true for Alstom, and it is also true for ZTE.

The state wants to use the state to deal with it, and enterprises alone are unable to compete, and they must find opponents of comparable size.

If the Chunghwa Group receives a ban, then Han Hao does not intend to give in, he believes that the country will not sit idly by. What's more, everything he has done over the years is waiting for this day to come, and 100% domestic cars are enough to resist the ban of the US government.

In May 2019, after a gap of 13 months, the second ban came across the ocean, but the target was changed to the larger ZTE, Huawei.

Compared with ZTE, Huawei has stronger technology and larger volume, is a global leader in 5G technology, and is a leader in China's high-tech industry.

In fact, on the day ZTE was banned, Han Hao spoke on the phone with Huawei's CEO, and both sides agreed that ZTE's today is likely to be each other's tomorrow.

Therefore, within 13 months, Huawei has already prepared a plan for this purpose, actively looking for alternative suppliers in China, and reducing the share of parts and components of American companies to 2%. In other words, Huawei products will soon be able to get rid of the constraints of American products and completely realize the supply of de-beautification.

More importantly, Kunlun Semiconductor has invested heavily after Han Hao became the owner, and has caught up with the international mainstream level in chip foundry, with 14-nanometer chips in mass production, and the 7-nanometer production line has been debugged, ranking behind TSMC and Samsung. Relying on Kunlun Semiconductor alone is enough to meet the foundry needs of Huawei's HiSilicon chips, and it is not afraid of US bans and sanctions.

And it is particularly worth mentioning that the HarmonyOS has been popularized in hardware facilities such as Huawei mobile phones and Zhonghua Group cars, and it can also be separated from the technical constraints of the United States in terms of software.

At this time, the people understood that Han Hao started a second business by smashing the pot and selling iron, and vigorously invested in the field of industry 4.0 represented by chips, which won 5 years for China's industry in advance.

Whether it is chip design, foundry, or lithography machine R&D and substitution, or even the promotion of the HarmonyOS operating system, it has warmed up for the Sino-US trade dispute in advance. Although there may be a gap between the international and the most advanced level in the field of technology, at least it is guaranteed to be usable and will not be paralyzed by the US ban.

Five years is precious, especially in the high-tech field, which is enough to make up for many shortcomings and give China's industry a breather.

5G technology is the new foundation of the future network world, and Huawei's technology is unique in the world.

Unlike ZTE, which is helpless, Huawei has its own hole cards that are enough to continue operating without American products.

In response to the US ban, Huawei decided to say no!

Behind Huawei, there is a group of Chinese entrepreneurs represented by Han Hao, who are firmly united and not afraid of threats from abroad.

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese government gave a grand public commendation to the pioneers who have emerged in the past 40 years of reform and opening up, and a total of 100 people were selected into the list of reform pioneers.

Today in the Great Hall of the People, the state will present a national livestream of awards to these 100 reform pioneers in recognition of their outstanding contributions and encourage people across the country to learn from them.

"Now 100 reform pioneers are collectively entering the venue, and each of them has written a legendary chapter in the great process of reform and opening up......

In the living room of a villa in Jiangzhou, the 65-inch large-screen color TV is broadcasting the award ceremony live, and the host is introducing the venue.

Two gray-haired old men were sitting on the sofa, staring intently ahead, with a bright and relieved smile on their faces, and around them sat more than a dozen people, large and small.

"Back then, no one knew that the boy could achieve such an achievement, but I followed the boat in a daze. ”

"Yes, I was also confused when he took it to Hushan County, and tossed around to make it appear in such a big industry. At that time, he described the future prospects with me, and to be honest, I just listened to it as bragging, and I didn't believe it in my heart. ”

The conversation between the two old men recalling the past immediately made everyone at the scene feel emotional.

They are the two meritorious veterans who accompanied Han Hao to start a business, one is Yu Hang, who invented the motorcycle engine, and the other is Miao Zhenhua, who set up a debugging production line and supervised production. They experienced the difficult moment of the establishment of Zhonghua Group, and accompanied Han Hao through the blue wisps of the road together.

Now they have long since retired to recuperate, but they always pay attention to the development of Zhonghua Group.

Today is a happy day, and Han Hao was naturally selected into the list of 100 reform pioneers, indicating that the Zhonghua Group has made contributions to China's reform and opening up, and the heavy military merit medal has an honor for all "Chinese".

The same scene took place in a small courtyard on the edge of a desert somewhere in northern Hebei Province, where a large circle of people was staring intently ahead around a 55-inch TV.

"It's out, it's out!"

When the TV camera showed the picture of Han Hao walking into the venue, the people present couldn't help but applaud. The expressions of excitement on their faces seemed to be themselves who were being commended at the venue at the moment.

"This kid still looks so energetic!"

Ling Yunzhi, who was sitting in the central seat, was content to light a good cigarette for himself, and said to himself.

This second-generation Chinese automaker who resolutely went south from FAW has witnessed the vigorous growth of Zhonghua Group.

After successfully handing over the torch of the automobile industry to Han Hao, the representative of the third generation of automobiles, Ling Yunzhi returned to his hometown to start a new stage of his life.

Thanks to the donation of Han Hao's foundation, the progress and effect of the desertification control project are very good, and the desert area has been reduced by 42% compared with before, which can be described as a manpower victory.

In the Jiangzhou villa, the Han family was dressed in red clothes and gathered in the living room, and they were also watching the commendation meeting broadcast live on CCTV.

"Daddy—"

Han Hao's youngest son pointed at the TV.

At this time, the TV screen just introduced Han Hao's personal reform pioneer identity.

"Han Hao, the pioneer who serves the country by industry and promotes China's automobile industry to the world!"

Hearing the host read his name, Han Hao waved his hand at the camera with a smile on his face, greeting the people of the whole country.

At this moment, there were waves under his inner peace, and such a sentence couldn't help but echo in his heart.

"The Chinese nation, which has gone through more than 5,000 years of ups and downs, has never seen any kind of formation? In the great process of realizing national rejuvenation, there will inevitably be difficulties, dangers, and even turbulent waves. The trade dispute initiated by the United States with China is just a hurdle in China's development process, and it is not a big deal. ”
