Chapter 126: Strategic Height
Brian frowned slightly.
After thinking for a while, he put his cane on the ground, shook his head and said, "Child, I can't help you with this, this is a decision of Congress, you should know that it is not Britain that is targeting your country's trade." Lipton black tea was also built in the United States to build a global network, and in Europe, only Spain and Italy are big fruit exporters, as far as I am concerned, I would rather buy your canned fruits, do you know? ”
"I know, I'm not talking about now. ”
Brian said: "Wait, don't be anxious about this, I already have reliable information, Congress is already urgently negotiating with your authorities, the United Kingdom, which is originally a net importing country, welcomes your products, and it is the United States, Italy, and Spain that set up green trade barriers and dumping arbitration, which is a sanction measure, and it is an emergency sanction that cannot last." ”
Fan Yang nodded.
Indeed, this is only an emergency sanction and is not sustainable.
The trade friction between the United States and China has a long history.
Since China's reform and opening up, the rapid increase in national strength, the international trade status is increasing day by day, the impact on the manufacturing industry of the United States is very huge, China has stood up, has been challenging the status of the trade hegemony of the United States.
The United States is a traditional manufacturing power, and before World War II, it was already the world's largest manufacturing power.
After World War II, the United States became the biggest winner, with more than 40% of the world's gold reserves at that time.
The United States further built the Bretton Woods system, pegged the US dollar to gold and became the world currency, which further contributed to the second great development of the local manufacturing industry and became the center of the world trade network.
The development of China's trade soon had a strong impact on the country.
Commodities are cheap, and the renminbi has depreciated sharply.
From 1 to 1.5 in 1979.
It depreciated to 1 to 5.8 in 1992.
China's products, on the basis of cheap labor, are 6 times cheaper than those of the United States in terms of exchange rate.
It has almost snatched market share from Southeast Asia.
The first trade barrier, led by the United States, was launched by the United States, China's canned fruits, fundamentally technical resistance, he did not investigate from the fruit, but for China's existing 144 pesticides, formulated 296 indicators, in 357 food categories, 2439 pesticide residues, and must be tested with their equipment.
They can't pass the test anyway.
But it didn't last long.
In 94, at the peak of the first friction, the Chinese side made a more ruthless move, directly reducing the exchange rate to 1 to 8.6.
The traditional net importing countries have long been unable to hold on, and the first to compromise is actually the capital.
I'm used to eating cheap, and then I eat expensive, who can accept it.
The canned fruits of the United States were dumped in the past with high-end food, and on the other hand, they have always pinched their noses and believed that this was predatory dumping by the United States.
It's just that I don't dare to say it explicitly.
In the 90s, the Asia-Pacific strategy of the United States weakened, and by 2006, it was even more free from the constraints of the United States and established its own positive list system.
This is also the reason why Fan Yang dares to take care of everything.
Historically, in 93 years, the United Kingdom, and Germany have gradually liberalized trade barriers and re-accepted such products from China.
The trade friction between China and Mi has been going on for a long time, and it was still dry until 2018.
And did a big job.
"I really know, so I say not now, Mr. Brian, remember, you owe me a favor. Fan Yang said.
And Brian, after Fan Yang made the words clear, he no longer pretentious, and the two sides smiled heartily: "When that day comes, I don't need you to say, I will also seek cooperation from you, not far away." ”
"Okay, things are almost over on my side, what about you, are you ready for this trip to Hanzhong?"
Brian looked at the table below: "Always have lunch before leaving." ”
After Brian let go, he was also a cheerful person, and after lunch, he went back to pack a change of clothes and prepared to go.
Fan Yang went back to pick up the army, and Zhao Guangming happened to be walking the dog downstairs.
I saw Brian and said hello.
Not surprisingly, Brian was startled again, and he didn't dare to approach from a distance.
But he was obviously very interested and asked, "Is this your dog?"
"Yes, the Oriental Divine Dog, a Tibetan mastiff from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. ”
"I've heard of it, but are you going to take them with you?" said Brian, shrinking his neck.
"Forget it. ”
Before leaving, I made a phone call to Hanzhong and Fuping, and a group of five people set off towards Shaanxi.
As for Hanzhong, after receiving a call from Fan Yang, he urgently mobilized.
Talking and laughing along the way, Liu Dingxin and Shuangshuang both spoke English, chatting with Brian, and the relationship soon became harmonious.
Brian has seen and heard a lot, and between his conversations, he occasionally has a bit of old naughty humor, coupled with Liu Dingxin's deliberate flattery, and the atmosphere is getting more and more relaxed.
That night, it drove to Shangqiu.
arranged the best hotel, took Brian to eat local specialties, beef fried buns, brine elbows, saliva roast chicken, and took him to the night market, coaxing him to be happy.
That's what you want.
Travel, always increases the affection between strangers.
Returning to the hotel and arranging Brian to stay, Fan Yang left a thought, after all, it was the first time to go out with a girl, and deliberately arranged Liu Dingxin and Dajun to live in a room, Shuangshuang lived alone, and he also lived in a separate room.
As long as you survive the first night, it won't be so embarrassing.
Back in his room, Fan Yang took off his shoes and made a call to Director Liu's home when he got to bed: "Brother, how are you arranging over there?"
"I've called you several times in the afternoon, but I can't get through, I'm still in a hurry, it's all arranged, when will you arrive?"
"The morning after tomorrow. ”
"Why is it taking so long? Can't you arrive tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, I'm going to accompany foreign guests to visit the mountains and rivers, after the inspection in Hanzhong, I have made an appointment with the foreign guests, and I have to go to Xi'an, visit the Terracotta Warriors, and possibly climb Huashan, how do you arrange the reception specifications over there?" Fan Yang said.
"I was just about to ask you, what is your license plate number, I forgot, when you come over, can you determine the time? Which exit? I made a banner here, and there is a reception team of dozens of people, and the municipal party committee sent me that Audi 100, this degree of attention is high enough. ”
"That's enough, you can look at the arrangement, don't make it too grand, but it's okay to send a better car. ”
"Well, don't you know that I do things, I must make foreign businessmen feel grand, cordial, and at home, but I strictly follow this standard. ”
"Haha, thank you so much, brother. ”
"Speaking of which, which exit are you going to? Give me the license plate number. ”
"License plate number?" Fan Yang was stunned.
Fan Yang reported the license plate number: "The route, enter Xi'an from National Highway 310, turn to Provincial Highway 108 to enter Hanzhong, time, a little rush in the morning, two o'clock in the afternoon, I pinch the time to come, you can also arrange." ”
"Okay, then make an appointment at two o'clock in the afternoon. ”
"By the way, what do you want my license plate number for?"
"I have arranged for the road closure, this matter, our top leaders of the Hanzhong Municipal Party Committee, have expressed full attention, to do it in accordance with the specifications of receiving superior leaders, be sure to serve the British 48 delegations, 30 miles away to start to greet, then there will be a motorcycle team to open the way for you. ”
"I'll go. Fan Yang thought to himself that this time it was too big: "It's not my brother, what did you tell them? He is a member of the 48 British delegations, and he can't represent the 48 delegations with full powers, he is a personal visitor, and there is only one British Yankee in my car, don't make jokes when the time comes, don't you think I brought all the 48 groups, right?"
"I know, I know. ”
Fan Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "No, this specification has to be lowered, send an Audi, it's okay to pull a banner, at most please some uncles and aunts, twist some Yangge, beat some gongs and drums, and have a welcome ceremony. ”
"No way, can't go down, I know that there is only one British, but the top leaders have spoken, even if it is an Englishman, it must come up with the highest standard of reception, this is forty-eight groups, now this matter, you and I can't interject, the municipal party committee has a strategic decision, brother, you must not pick on me, you must pay attention to it, this matter is a bit floating, now you and I are on a rope, as long as you bring people, I owe you a great favor." ”
There was a pause on the phone: "If someone can't bring it to me, brother, my brother's life will be over, do you understand?"
