Chapter 239: German Tanks
"Good. Deputy Director Xiong took the lead in applauding.
It is normal for the personnel of the Department of Foreign Economic Affairs to have this ideological awareness.
But it is not easy for an outsider to have this ideological awareness.
Although it is a bit high-sounding, there are too few talents in this era, and Director Zheng also appreciates Fan Yang.
That alone is a usable talent.
"Young people are good, very insightful, and understand more thoroughly than me, but the fertilizer is still forgotten, let's not take out this technology, don't take it out and be embarrassed, haha." ”
The people in the Foreign Economic Department seem to be very addicted to smoking.
Smoking is all one cigarette after another.
Deputy Director Xiong sent another round of cigarettes and drank two sips of tea.
"What about the other two points?" asked Director Zheng.
Fan Yang smiled innocently.
He knew exactly what he was up against.
What I said just now was just to show my attitude and prove that I had comprehended the spirit of the policy.
The second point should be about supply and demand.
But how dare he make a big deal of nonsense in this regard, with the director of the Foreign Trade Department.
In my opinion, Eurasia is one, the two sides have a strong complementary role in the economy, and finding the right supply and demand is the key, can I boldly ask about the long-term trade situation between China and Britain, and China and Germany?"
Director Zheng and Deputy Director Xiong glanced at each other and smiled.
"Look, this is starting to throw baggage, young people don't be so modest. Clearing his throat, Director Zheng still said: "Well, then I will also say a few words, and also provide you with some materials, just one thing you said is very right, now Germany is the largest economy in Europe, he is different from the United Kingdom, Britain started by the Industrial Revolution, the textile industry grows, and Germany is relying on steel, heavy industry, after economic globalization, the international division of labor is becoming clearer, so that the difference between countries is becoming more and more obvious. ”
"If you put a label on two countries, Britain is like his traditional culture, gentlemanly, aristocratic, elegant, textile, commodity, finance. ”
"Germany, like his chariot, is a country built on steel, heavy industry, heavy metals, industrial equipment and industrial technology, and is still a world leader. ”
"But they all have a common shortcoming, the small size of the country, the lack of raw materials and natural resources. ”
"At present, our international cooperation is that the Chinese market and Western technology complement each other, and Chinese speed and Western quality complement each other. ”
"And the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, for a long time, is more biased towards Germany, superior resources to supply Germany, because China and Germany, is a strategic cooperative relationship, 72 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, there is a very clear purpose, jointly operating the European market, China out of materials, Germany out of technology, China rough processing, Germany deep processing, covering the whole of Europe. ”
Fan Yang was stunned.
His views and understanding have never reached such a height.
Such a cooperative relationship between the two countries?
China and Germany join forces, and no one in Europe can do it.
Fan Yang shouted that he was lucky, but fortunately he didn't mess around in front of Director Zheng.
Seeing Fan Yang's surprised expression, Director Zheng was very satisfied and continued: "So, for a long time, Germany has been the top spot in European investment in China, and technology transfer is also the largest, with tens of thousands of technology contracts every year, including automation technology, industrial control, switchgear, Metrology technology, electronic components, to large projects of the whole machine lathe, the whole production line, mechanical and electrical equipment, but China to undertake more, or parts processing, hardware, plastics, motors, electrical, and then transferred to Germany, and finally cover the European market, this is a joint project of the two sides, a more special point is tungsten carbide, cutting tools, at present we have become the world's first tungsten carbide processing, alloy processing power, and export country. ”
"So, steel, non-ferrous metals, chemical raw materials, the two countries have extremely frequent exchanges, which is the largest category in total trade. ”
"Over the past 20 years, this strategy has achieved remarkable results, and at present, in terms of basic heavy industry, machinery, and manufacturing, even if China, both in terms of output and quality, has initially led the rest of Europe, including the United Kingdom, but the high technology is still not good, and the core technology has always been in the hands of the Germans. ”
Fan Yang interjected: "What about the book? Did you have such a strategic cooperative relationship with our country at the beginning?"
Director Zheng nodded and said: "Sort of, but the target area is not Europe, China said that the joint operation is North America, South America, Southeast Asia, but the relationship between China and the two countries is more intense, both partners and competitors, in the common seizure of the rice market, the competition is more intense, because the basic manufacturing industry has been lost, turned to deep processing, so the speed of loss of advantages is very fast." ”
Fan Yang asked again: "Is the European side relatively mild?"
"In terms of mechanical and electrical products, machinery and equipment, heavy industry, for the time being, we cannot compete with Germany, because after all, he occupies a geographical advantage, and the most fierce competition between China and Germany is building materials, chemical raw materials, agricultural products, and light industry. ”
Director Zheng continued: "Germany's light industry is also ranked first in Europe, and we can't compete in chemical categories and electrical equipment, we only have the advantages of furniture, glass, building materials, plastic products, textiles, agricultural products, these are relatively basic things, so there is still a long way to go." ”
"What about energy?" Fan Yang asked again.
"In terms of energy, there is no exchange between China and Germany, there are Erros in the north, the United Kingdom in the west, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany's own mineral resources are also very rich. ”
"What about agricultural products?"
"In agriculture, there was some cooperation in the early days of the establishment of diplomatic relations, but it became less and less, and there were geographical restrictions, which is the same. ”
Fan Yang nodded.
From the perspective of a country's development, if you want to industrialize and modernize rapidly, there is no way to sell resources and grain at the beginning, which is equivalent to a sacrifice.
But when it is developed, these aspects will be reduced, and unless there is a surplus product, it will be exported in large quantities and sold.
In 93, China has initially gotten rid of this dilemma.
In order to further develop, it is also necessary to get rid of this export model of exchanging resources for foreign exchange.
In the second stage, the use of labor costs to undertake the transfer of manufacturing.
Use processed products in exchange for a higher level of profits.
In the second stage, in the first 10 years of reform and opening up, great achievements have been made.
At present, it has begun to enter the third stage, undertaking international investment, establishing financial markets, participating in the global economy, maintaining economic growth, accelerating economic circulation, and undertaking the international division of labor.
Fan Yang's brain turned quickly and basically figured it out.
"So in terms of light industry, exporting to Europe, our biggest competitor is Germany, right?"
