Chapter 18: Trade Frictions
"Why?"
Section Chief Li is another why.
Pinching his fingers, he said in a rather weird manner: "Young man, don't be so crazy. ”
Fan Yang smiled.
No matter what, I don't care about anything shocking.
That's all for today, so I'll teach him a lesson.
I just let it go.
Fan Yang originally put his hands on his knees and sat upright, and he was tired after sitting for a long time.
simply changed his position, leaned back comfortably, and raised his legs.
Single sofa, both hands are naturally placed on the armrests on both sides of the sofa.
This change of posture has greatly changed the temperament of the whole person.
Everyone only felt that Fan Yang's legs were cocked, and he really felt that the leader was about to speak.
Moreover, Fan Yang's temperament does not look like a young man at all, to the point of feeling like an old man.
"Although I am young, I have always been strict with myself, for the export of foreign exchange, foreign trade, I still have a certain right to speak, today I might as well tell you my views. ”
He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, " First of all, this foreign trade, you have to look at it, you can't be blind, you must first put yourself in a strategic height, like this, 72 years in the establishment of diplomatic relations, 75 years, the conclusion of trade, shipping, fishery agreements, 79 years of signing peace and friendship treaty, long-term trade agreements, after 10 years of reform and opening up, has now become China's largest trading partner, the total annual import and export volume exceeded 10 billion, these I have studied some, Japan's orders, in China is also all over the place, just like Li Section Chief you said, even the state-owned factories in Jinhua Town, can also get the capital, and even the foreign trade orders of the United States, on the surfaceIt seems like it's easy to make money, right?"
"Truly, it is. ”
Fan Yang shook his head and smiled slightly: "No, you are wrong, my money is not so easy to earn." ”
"Why?"
"First of all, this is the strategic direction of the national level, you are a small people, don't think too highly of yourself, how big a wave can you turn? This is the grasp of the national ministries and commissions, for example, China and the two countries, any two countries, to establish trade relations, the first thing to pursue, must be a trade balance, for example, the current total import and export volume of China and the two sides, I have understood, 90 years to break through the 10 billion mark, 10 billion US dollars, internationally, the World Trade Organization, all take the US dollar as the calculation standard, so what is the trade balance? You sell me $5 billion, I also sell you $5 billion, this is the total amount of trade at the national level, the two sides have to go through negotiations, everyone one by one, slowly negotiate, for example, China, for the United States, are still in the stage of resources, energy, and technology, with processing for finished products, everyone is pursuing balance, but how to balance? There will be trade frictions. ”
What he said made everyone misty.
Only Section Chief Li can understand some.
Immediately put away his contemptuous thoughts.
"Well, you say, what is a trade friction?"
"Hehe, to give you an example, just this year, there has been too much friction in the trade between China and China, it seems that in April, China imposed 100% special tariffs on automobiles, air conditioners, refrigerators, and televisions.
"Why? Out of trade protection in the domestic industry?" asked Section Chief Li.
"No, now China's home appliance industry, air conditioning, television, strictly speaking, there is no independent production capacity, protection is not talked about, the reason is very simple, because the country has issued a policy, the whole country, China's green onions, straw mats, sweet potatoes, restrictions on imports for 200 days. ”
"What do you mean?"
"It's very simple, you may not know that Ben's trade policy towards China is largely due to the international situation, and that Ben pursues a foreign policy of an alliance with China, and that the United States wants to unite with China to suppress the Soviet Union, and the boss of the United States supports us, and that the leader of our country can only follow, so how can the leaders of our country not see it? It's stuffed indiscriminately, green onions, sweet potatoes, corn, and even straw mats are stuffed in the past, just like the two sides of China and Mi, the soybeans of the rice country, the unsalable products of his own country, have to be stuffed into it every year, and the soybean industry in the northeast of our country has been impacted year after year, the price has collapsed again and again, and the loss is still the simple farmers, just like the rice country, New York Harbor, every year is not a container, do you know that the rice country has a special industry, the auction of waste containers, you only need a few hundred dollars, you can auction down a container, which is full of Chen sesame and millet clothes, handmade supplies, no one wants to give it away for nothing, all as garbage thrown away, several major ports on the west coast of the United States, which has to be auctioned once a quarter, and it is several years of inventory. This is the trade friction. It is said that the country has banned imports for 200 days, and my country will definitely fight back, imposing 100 percent special tariffs, and see who suffers, everyone will sit down and talk slowly. ”
"And this kind of thing?" said Keda Li in surprise.
All the people present understood some of this, and they shouted for novelty.
"Let's talk about this foreign trade order, if my guess is right, let's not talk about labor protection leather shoes, those big factories in Jinhua Town, are they going to receive a lot of orders for yellow rubber shoes and foam sandals every year?"
Not only Section Chief Li, but even Fan Wei, Uncle Wang, and Jiang Jun all nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, I'm so busy every year that my heels don't touch the ground. ”
Fan Yang smiled and said: "Then let me ask again, does it have to be called back every time you make an order?
Section Chief Li thought about it for a while: "Yes, it is indeed difficult to serve, and there are many calls, and every year when the order comes, everyone has to hold on to the soles of their feet, for fear that there will be any problems." ”
"That's right, from the southwest, to talk about import and export, to the Ben, Taiwan, Singapore, as well as the entire Southeast Asian region, and even the entire Northern Europe, North America, do not occupy any advantage, Sichuan to the coast, there are still two or three thousand kilometers, what do you talk about? What kind of competitiveness? To put it bigger, it is the strategic need of the national level, so that export materials will be mobilized from the southwest, you private enterprises, who can afford this transportation cost?"
Section Chief Li is still stiff-mouthed: "But this, this labor protection leather shoes are different, we are an advantageous product, a fist product, and we can really realize economic benefits." ”
"Wrong. Unexpectedly, Fan Yang gave Section Chief Li a bite back: "You really have economic interests, let's talk about the total official trade, let's talk about private free trade, others really have this demand, cross-border procurement, you have to bid, right, I said, how good is that? Moreover, most of the current bids are hidden bids, until the end, no one knows what price the competitor quotes, and then compares the price, even if it is a penny, let's just say it, 5 million foreign trade orders, you are 5 million and 1 cent, just this penny, lose, you are completely cold, others This has legal effect, who do you cry with? Bidding is doing everything possible to reduce the price, a penny is still so, you are still responsible for two or three thousand kilometers of long-distance transportation, and this labor insurance, there is no brand premium, what do you take to compete with others? ”
Fan Yang's words hit Section Chief Li hard.
The whole person fell softly on the sofa.
Unexpectedly, the labor protection leather shoes that he had painstakingly planned were actually worthless in Fan Yang's mouth.
"Then, so you say this, we can't consider the import and export list at all?"
"Who said that? In the future, our leather shoes will be on the track, the same exit. ”
"Can you also export?" Section Chief Li was thundered again.
The young man's mind was beating too fast.
"As I said before, why don't I earn my money? I don't do the business of the Chinese people? Is it because I am angry? Wrong, I am a businessman, everything is based on interests, because in the world, there are better choices, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, business is very good, why should I not find it myself?"
