Chapter 159: Follow the visit to the United States

As China's total GDP has surpassed Japan and the United States to become the second largest in the world, and its economic growth momentum remains strong, it has become one of the first major countries to recover after the subprime mortgage crisis, so its international political and economic influence is increasing day by day.

"G2", a new concept proposed by a well-known American economist, has gradually become popular.

The G7 is well known as a club of developed countries, and the G20 is a household name when it comes to new economies, but many people are still confused when it comes to the G2.

The G2 advocates a new partnership between the United States and China to achieve joint leadership of the global economic system.

Of course, the G2 still has to speak according to strength, and the United States is still dominant. According to American economists, "American-led high-end R&D" combined with "Made in China production" to build an economic closed-loop system.

Even cooperation between the two sides can be extended beyond the economy to major global affairs such as politics, diplomacy, and military.

The assertion that the two superpowers dominate international economic relations has caused an uproar once it has been put forward, and it is necessary to know that it is theoretically enough to realize. As long as China and the United States join forces, then the international economic order will really be overturned.

However, both China and the United States, the official treatment of the G2 is vague, after all, it is just a good wish.

With the visit of a high-level delegation led by the Chinese leader to the United States and the closed-door talks with the new president, it is imaginable whether the G2 can be realized.

The Chinese business delegation was huge, with more than 300 well-known business figures chartering flights to accompany the visit. Among them, the most eye-catching is the richest man Han Hao, who has invested more than 2 billion US dollars in a new factory in the United States, and the groundbreaking ceremony of the new factory will be witnessed by the heads of state of China and the United States, which can be described as the world's highest standard treatment.

Naturally, Han Hao has also become the head of the Chinese business delegation, which means that he has de facto taken over the authority of the Chinese business leader.

With the aging of the older generation of entrepreneurs who fought in the business world from the early days of reform and opening up, the second-generation successors have come to the forefront, and the old and the new are mixed to compete in the same field. No matter who it is, it doesn't have unrivaled qualifications like Han Hao. You must know that it is an unparalleled honor to bring a Chinese private enterprise into the world's top 500 and become one of the most famous enterprises in China in the world, and have the strength to compete closely with international giants.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Zhonghua Group is now in a booming stage, and its helmsman, Han Hao, has also ushered in a new peak of personal reputation.

But Han Shoufu deliberately maintained a low-key style, first, the influence of the Chinese cultural atmosphere, and second, he knew that the Chinese Group was in the process of transformation and had not yet reached the moment of celebration.

The Chinese business delegation arrived in the United States three days earlier than the head of state, and before the heads of state began to hold dialogues, business people from both sides carried out various exchange activities.

You must know that Han Hao has successfully opened up his influence in the financial and business circles of the United States, and everyone knows that "Han" will be China's future business leader, and it will be beneficial to have a good relationship with him. There were even rumors that if foreign entrepreneurs want to enter China to do business, they must first visit the richest man "Han".

Of course, this is just a "rumor", and finding Han's richest man can find suitable Chinese connections for you and introduce you to real Chinese business elite cooperation, but it is the truth of the truth.

On the other hand, as a pioneer, Han Hao is indeed more familiar with the rules of the American business community than other Chinese entrepreneurs, and his personal connections are also beyond the reach of others.

Therefore, this year's visit by the Chinese business delegation to the United States is the highest-level Sino-US business exchange event in history.

In the past, when Chinese entrepreneurs accompanied the chief executive on foreign visits, most of them played the role of buyers, whether they were active or passive, and announced that they had placed large orders to purchase from the United States as if they were fulfilling their obligations, so as to make up for the trade deficit between China and the United States. Compared with the hosts, China always seems to be inferior.

This time, however, Chinese entrepreneurs are on the same level as the American business community, actively engaging in dialogue and exchanges, and there are quite a lot of calls for entering the US market, and even hope that US companies can be acquired on a large scale.

China has a huge and mouth-watering market, while the United States has unique high-tech technologies, and both sides have what they need.

I used to just buy it, but now I have to sell it!

This is the biggest difference between China and the United States in economic and trade cooperation.

Under the guidance of Han Hao, the head of the group, high-end forums, field visits, speeches and seminars, salon dinners, ...... Overwhelmed, Chinese and American entrepreneurs were able to communicate more candidly and reach many new cooperation agreements.

"He's no longer fighting alone!"

"A new economic enemy will emerge in Asia!"

"The Chinese want to buy the whole of America!"

……

China's large-scale business exchange activities and aggressive attitude have caused the US media to frequently report with sensational headlines.

In addition to Han Hao's large frontal photo, the most impressive is a cartoon depicting a Chinese panda planting a five-star red flag in the Empire State Building.

You must know that the neighbor who was called "going to buy the United States" last time triggered a fierce trade war between the United States and Japan, and had to endure being strongly suppressed by the United States.

"The United States is a very great country, and we are here to learn more. Compared to our American counterparts, we are still at the level of elementary school students.

Buying the United States is just a joke, we can't afford it, and we don't want to go bankrupt because of it.

It is hoped that this China-US trade exchange can build a bridge of friendship between the two countries and exchange views on whether they can work together for the progress of human civilization. ”

Faced with ***** public opinion reports, Han Hao had to stand up and respond positively.

The American media always like to chase after the wind and publish some news reports that are very bad for China, so that Han Hao once thought that he would not buy one or two local mainstream media to fight a war of public opinion.

In the past, China Group used to suffer a lot in public opinion, but since the acquisition of Sina and the ownership of Weibo, at least the public opinion environment is much better.

The rise of the Internet has made it difficult for many print media to survive, and it is not impossible to acquire mainstream media in the United States.

The hustle and bustle of the business community was quickly diluted by the meeting and talks between the heads of state of China and the United States, especially the goodwill released by the Chinese leaders in the form of a family banquet, which made the front pages of the media around the world.

How Sino-US relations are handled has a bearing on the stability of the global situation.

"I am absolutely convinced that China's peaceful rise is good for the whole world and for the United States. We will work with China to build a mutually respectful, mutually beneficial and win-win partnership to advance the common interests of our two countries and address the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century. ”

After the closed-door summit meeting, the US President *** vowed to say the above words under the gaze of the global media, indicating that China and the United States still cooperate more than they differ, and on this basis, issued the third joint statement since the establishment of diplomatic relations.

Subsequently, the Sino-US Heads of State Association met with representatives of the business circles of the two countries, and this was the first time since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States that an event was held at the White House attended by the heads of state and entrepreneurs of the two countries.

On the American side, there are heads of Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Boeing, DuPont, Intel, Coca-Cola, and other companies, while on the Chinese side, China Group is the leader, and CIC, China National Nuclear Corporation, Guodian, Haier, Lenovo, Wanxiang, Fuyao and other enterprises participate.

In contrast, China's star is a little bleaker, but it represents a rising commercial force.

Witnessed by the heads of state of China and the United States, entrepreneurs from both sides signed a large number of economic and trade cooperation agreements, with a total amount of more than 45 billion US dollars.

The brightest star is Boeing, which has won a massive contract of more than $19 billion for 200 aircraft alone.

As for the star on the Chinese side, there is no doubt that it is the China Group, which has directly invested more than $2 billion in the United States and sold Chinese-made cars to the American market.

"How many cars do you have to sell to be worth the income of a Boeing plane!"

Han Hao thought silently in his heart, probably 10,000 cars priced at 100,000 yuan can be on par with 1 Boeing passenger plane.

He has heard that there is a large aircraft project in Hujiang City, and if he has the opportunity, he can go to see it on the spot, and maybe he can invest in one or two. Its positioning of Zhonghua Group is a high-tech travel company, and aviation is of course included in the list, but I don't know if the state-owned threshold will be open to private enterprises.

There was a smile on his face, but the thoughts of the richest man Han who was at the venue drifted into the air for a while.

Compared with the American CEOs who frequently appear in the global media, the representatives of entrepreneurs in China are much more low-key. Of the more than 300 Chinese business delegations, only 20 are eligible to participate in the White House trip.

The President of the United States watched it for a long time, but in fact, he only knew Han Hao alone.

This is not to blame him, there are only a handful of enterprises in China that have truly achieved internationalization, and only Han Hao is famous in the international business community.

"I heard that you have done a lot of extra work for this U.S.-China economic and trade exchange, and thank you for your efforts to bring our two countries closer to each other. ”

When shaking hands with the representatives of Chinese entrepreneurs in turn, *** specially stopped in front of Han Hao to praise his outstanding performance, which is also the only treatment among all Chinese entrepreneurs.

"It is my pleasure, Mr. President!

I will be waiting for you the day after tomorrow at the California site. ”

replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, Han Hao did not forget to remind the other party not to be late for the groundbreaking ceremony.

Because it takes 5 hours to fly from Washington to California, in order to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the new factory of Zhonghua Group with the Chinese head of state, *** can be regarded as giving enough face. After the event, the Chinese leader can fly home directly across the Pacific Ocean from California, and *** will have to continue the five-hour journey back to Washington. However, he had already asked his staff to arrange other trips, and planned to take a look at the West Coast as he went.

Time flies, and Chinese leaders are warmly welcomed everywhere they visit the United States, after all, Chinese-made products have surrounded the daily lives of the American people.

On the fourth day of the trip, gongs and drums and lion dances were flying in a freshly leveled open space in California, and the Chinese opening indicated that this was the location of the new factory of the Chunghwa Group.

Under the witness of many media, the heads of state of China and the United States shoveled the new soil to the foundation stone together, and the photo of Han Hao with a bright smile on his side was widely circulated, indicating that the Zhonghua Group officially started the journey of American car manufacturing.
