Chapter Eighty-Six: A New Southern Crusade
As for promoting the development process of human history, the general view is that it is created by the people, and without Zhang San, Li San will appear in this position, and he will play the role of a leader to lead the people to move forward together, which is the materialist view of history. However, there are also a small number of people who believe that history is created by heroes, who overcame all difficulties to appear at a critical moment in history, and used their excellent personal qualities to lead the people forward and create history, which is the heroic view of history. If there is no Zhang San, then the people may have to wait for Li San for a long time, and the time gap between before and after has caused the entire historical line to change.
Regardless of the outcome, anyway, Han Hao's initiative on the individual income tax threshold has quietly moved the gears related to the interests of hundreds of millions of Chinese workers.
In the face of the surging public feedback, the National People's Congress launched a survey on the revision of the individual income tax, and it is very likely that the National People's Congress will raise the individual income tax threshold again next year, you must know that the original bill was not planned in the past two years.
Without Han Hao's proposal, it is estimated that the increase in the individual income tax threshold would have to be postponed for a year or two. But Han Hao's strength alone cannot achieve it, and what really works is the voice of the vast number of 1.3 billion Chinese.
Who created history, if Han Hao is included in the ranks of the people, the problem will be solved.
At a time when tax cuts have become the focus of public opinion, Han Hao, the initiator, quietly took a private jet out of the country and came to Vietnam, a country that regards China as a model for reform and opening up.
China has made great achievements after the implementation of reform and opening up, the economy has taken off, the country is rich and strong, and as a neighbor bordering the country, Vietnam does not have to cross the river with great effort to follow the big brother.
There is a joke that the policy documents issued by the Chinese central government today will be seen on Vietnamese television tomorrow as they are, with the only difference being that the word "China" has been replaced with "Vietnam".
In recent years, Vietnam has become a shining member of the economic growth of ASEAN and even the world, which is a successful reference to China's reform and opening up experience.
With the rising cost of Chinese manpower, Vietnam should lose no time in attracting large-scale investment, hoping to undertake the transfer of manpower-intensive industries from China and drive its own economic development. They hope to build Vietnam into a "modern industrialized country" by 2020.
At that time, China started with the introduction of light industries such as clothing, shoes, and toys, and gradually developed to have a complete global industrial system. If you can't find a manufacturer for any product in China, then there may be no other manufacturer in the world. The title of "Global Factory" is not for nothing.
Countries that are deeply influenced by the Chinese Confucian civilization circle have the quality of industriousness, and the countries of East Asia and even Southeast Asia are all hardworking and progressive nations in the world.
Vietnam is the first stop of Zhonghua Group to go to sea, and Huaxia Motorcycle started its transnational business in Vietnam, and now it occupies a mainstream position in the local area.
However, in recent years, Vietnam has been more and more backward in Han Hao's transnational territory, and it has not made a big move.
The reason is that first, China and ASEAN have established a free trade area to connect with the economy, and it was thought that Chinese cars could be entered duty-free or with low tariffs, so Han Hao did not make a decision to set up a joint venture factory in the ASEAN country. You should know that in Nam Gui province, Chung Hwa Group has a production base obtained from Wuling Group, which is very close to Vietnam and can be exported directly from China to ASEAN.
The second is that the political situation in Vietnam is relatively delicate, and the military has a lot of power and is deeply involved in the country's economy. If a soldier has guns and money, it is not a good thing to have an impact on the political situation. The joint venture partner of the Chunghwa Group in Vietnam has the military behind it, which makes Han Hao worry about political risks and delay in expanding the scale of investment. In addition to motorcycles, although some models of Huaxia Automobile have also been established in the local CKD, the actual introduction of industrial supporting large-scale export of automobiles to ASEAN countries has not yet taken shape.
The third is that ASEAN countries have been very heavily infiltrated by Japanese products, and in those years, relying on economic aid, Japanese companies obtained many privileges and conveniences, resulting in the formation of a monopoly position. In terms of the automotive market, 90% of sales are controlled by Japanese auto giants, whose factories are mainly concentrated in Thailand, so as to radiate to the entire ASEAN market. In order to avoid direct confrontation with Japanese brands, Han Hao did not choose to enter ASEAN on a large scale, concentrating capital on Russia, India, Iran and other regions where multinational giants are weak to occupy the market first, and then reconsider the market strategy in ASEAN.
Today, Han Hao went to Vietnam to respond to the invitation of the party to visit the local area to see if he would spend a lot of money to establish a joint venture factory.
Why is it now necessary to build a joint venture plant in Vietnam?
First, China's international status has strengthened, and it is clear that even though there have been historical frictions, Chinese culture is still strongly exported to Vietnam, and China's influence in Vietnam is increasing day by day. In the past, I was afraid of being bullied locally, so I found a company with a military background to cooperate, and now whether it is the China Group or China, the strength is not the same, at least the waist is much straighter.
Second, China and ASEAN have not reached an agreement on the issue of automobile imports, and it seems that there will be no results in the short term. With a population of nearly 600 million, ASEAN countries are the third largest market in Asia after China and India. Annual sales of automobiles exceeded 2 million units, and they are still in the process of strong growth, and it is expected to exceed 3 million units in five years, becoming the sixth largest automobile market in the world.
There is an unshakable trend for ASEAN's economy to move closer to China, and China is expected to become ASEAN's largest trading partner next year, and it will also become China's fourth largest export market and second largest source of imports. With such a piece of fat on his lips, Han Hao now has free hands to compete for this market with deep potential.
Third, the strength of Zhonghua Group has grown rapidly, and it has been able to wrestle with Japanese brands in some fields, and is not afraid of competition with each other. The auto market in the 10 ASEAN countries is in a loose union, and the popular products in each country are different, and there is no real monopoly brand.
For example, pickup trucks are popular in Thailand, mainly in rural areas, MPVs are popular in Indonesia and the Philippines for the purpose of making it easier for adults to move, and sedans are more attractive in Malaysia and Vietnam. Overall, preferences vary widely from country to country.
Chung Hwa Group has its own characteristics in all kinds of products, and it is very competitive to enter the ASEAN market.
Fourth, the Vietnamese government is not satisfied with only undertaking and attracting low-end labor-intensive industries, and hopes to attract investment and high-end industries to settle down. As a star foreign enterprise invested in Vietnam, Zhonghua Group has become famous in recent years, especially the acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover, which is considered to be a Chinese enterprise with great development potential.
Therefore, the Vietnamese government took the initiative to attract investment, gave very preferential policies, hoped that the Zhonghua Group would set up factories in Vietnam to invest, and allowed wholly-owned production for the first time, and also gave preferential tariff conditions for importing parts and components from China.
In addition, among the ten ASEAN countries, Vietnam and China have the most convenient transportation, in addition to direct access to land ports, there are also deep-water port terminals, which can be said to be the best investment location.
The Chung Hwa Group needs to enter the fulcrum of ASEAN, while Vietnam needs high-end manufacturing such as automobiles to settle down, and the two sides hit it off.
The Vietnamese side attaches great importance to Han Hao's visit, and the state leaders will meet with him in person, hoping to successfully persuade Zhonghua Group to invest in the landing.
You must know that a wholly owned automobile factory targeting the ASEAN market has an investment of at least 500 million US dollars, which can be called the top three foreign-funded projects in Vietnam that year.
As soon as the private jet landed, the Vietnamese side specially rolled out the red carpet and organized a large group of primary school students to greet them at the airport with flowers and singing and dancing.
If I don't know, I thought some head of state had arrived.
After many years of re-stepping on the land of Vietnam, Han Hao's first thought actually remembered Song Qing, who was still in Iraq back then, and he had good memories with her in Vietnam.
It's a pity that the red-faced and thin-lived people have passed away, and Han Hao will take time to quietly come to Song Qing's tomb every year to worship alone, in order to commemorate this smart and unusual confidant.
Song Qing's departure made Han Hao know how to cherish the people in front of him more and protect the people he loves.
Spacious highways, development zones in Pingchuan, and various slogans for attracting investment can be seen everywhere, and Vietnam has almost copied and learned from China's investment promotion routines.
If it weren't for the Vietnamese language around him, Han Hao would really think that he was in China, after all, black-haired and yellow-skinned people are almost the same.
In order to appease the original Vietnamese military joint venture partner, Han Hao promised to give half of the share of the Chunghwa Group's dealer network in Vietnam for the development of the other party in the future, but to obey the unified management of the Chunghwa Group.
During this visit to Vietnam, in addition to the supporting facilities for the landing of wholly-owned factories, Han Hao's main thing was to ask the Vietnamese government to speed up negotiations with ASEAN and cancel the existing restrictions on the export of automobiles produced in Vietnam by being taxed by ASEAN countries.
Vietnam currently imposes a 60% tariff on imported cars, leading other ASEAN countries to launch countermeasures against Vietnam. However, when the Vietnamese government negotiated with Han Hao, it revealed that they already planned to significantly reduce tariffs year by year, so as to develop the country's auto industry to compete directly with ASEAN, especially Thailand.
"It is expected that China will use 5 years to reduce the tariff on automobiles to zero tariffs and open up the economic integration of ASEAN.
We will actively create a favorable export environment for you and encourage foreign companies to invest in the automotive industry in Vietnam. ”
Vietnam's senior official in charge of attracting investment was very sure of his promise to Han Hao.
The implementation of high tariffs, the country does not have its own car brands, and it cannot attract foreign auto giants to invest, they are all in Thailand, Malaysia and even Indonesia to invest and build factories, but they do not consider settling in Vietnam. Practice has proved that Vietnam's policy of high tariffs on automobiles has in fact failed.
In order to become a modern industrial country by 2020, the automobile industry is indispensable, and the Vietnamese government has made a big move to attract the most likely Zhonghua group to come to land.
"Compared with Thailand and Malaysia, Vietnam's conditions are outstanding in all aspects, but the policy risks are too great. If you can get the issue of auto tariffs within ASEAN as soon as possible, then our investment will be implemented very quickly.
If the negotiations drag on for too long, we may consider looking for a new investment location. ”
During the talks with high-level Vietnamese officials, Han Hao made no secret of his views.
"I have seen that Chung Hwa Group has made outstanding achievements in China and the world, and I sincerely hope that you can bring the fire of the automobile industry to Vietnam.
I firmly believe that Vietnam has a better investment environment than India, and if you can gain a firm foothold in India, you will definitely be able to rise in Vietnam and even ASEAN.
The original promise is still valid, and you can be assured that our government is working hard to address your biggest concerns. ”
Han Hao is now a well-known business tycoon in Asia and even the world, so the Vietnamese top brass tried their best to keep him, for fear that the upcoming investment would fly.
