Chapter 853: There is no fear

Bovard came to China with a large investigative team, including in addition to EU trade officials, marketing and technical personnel from various companies, and several European journalists, presumably prepared to preemptively expose any major news to avoid denial by the Chinese.

The Chinese side gave a warm reception to the EU investigation team, and Xu Zhenbo personally arranged a banquet for the European guests, and invited Feng Xiaochen, general manager of the Equipment Industry Company, to accompany him. At the banquet, the Chinese personnel frequently raised their glasses to express their sincere welcome to the European guests, and Feng Xiaochen also fondly recalled the bits and pieces of China-EU technical cooperation with his own experience, saying that more than half of the Europeans present were infected.

"What do you mean by Chinese?"

Taking advantage of the fact that the Chinese personnel were not paying attention, Emmeline asked Bovard in a low voice. It is a bit incomprehensible that they have come to ask for guilt on their trip, but the Chinese side has shown such enthusiasm and generosity.

"What do you think?" Beauvard did not answer Emmeline's question, but instead asked her for confirmation.

"I think the Chinese are definitely playing the emotional card in exchange for our mercy on them in the follow-up investigation," Emmeline said. Haven't you noticed that many people in the company have been moved by this general manager Feng, and in the future investigation, they may not be too embarrassed by this general manager. ”

However, Heinzl always had a black face. Bovard said in a somewhat mocking tone. Heinzl didn't sit at the same table as them, and when he looked at them, he could see that Heinzl's face was ugly dark, in stark contrast to his drinking European counterparts around him.

Heinzl was the initiator of this investigation, and he certainly didn't want to see it. ”

"I think he's going to be even more uncomfortable in the future. ”

"What do you mean, Mr. Bovard?"

"Emmeline, do you really think we can find the flaws of the Chinese this time? Judging from today's banquet, I believe that the Chinese have made all the preparations, and we can only pounce on this trip. I have always believed that the ability of Chinese to control costs is very strong, even if the cost is less than 470 euros, at least it will not be too different. They can find a way to cover up the gap. Xu and Feng's performance today was not so much about playing the emotional card as it was about the winners showing off their success in advance. ”

Bovard said to Emmeline in a lazy tone. He was really tired of fighting a trade war with the Chinese, and it was not a war that could be won at all.

After a two-day break in the capital, the EU mission set off to investigate factories in various places. In order to speed up the investigation, the investigation team was divided into several teams, accompanied by personnel from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and equipment companies, and went to different wind turbine manufacturers. Emmeline and Heinzl were part of the same investigation team, and the company they went to inspect was none other than the Lin Zhong Fan Company.

"Welcome European colleagues to visit Linzhong Fan to guide the work!"

"Win-win cooperation to create a low-carbon society!"

"China-EU friendship will last forever!"

When everyone walked into the gate of Lin Chong Fan's enterprise, they saw a long banner hanging on the main road of the factory, which is also something with Chinese characteristics. In order to allow Europeans to understand the content of the banner, the factory also very thoughtfully placed English under the Chinese of the banner, although some translations seem so awkward, but the full goodwill contained in it can be felt by everyone.

"What do you think about this, Mr. Heinzl?" asked Emmeline, pointing to the banners.

"I think it's just a botched show. Heinzl said with a dark face. When he got on the plane in Europe, he was extremely excited, and even when he walked down the ramp of the plane at Beijing International Airport, his face was flushed. But after seeing the enthusiastic and relaxed expression of the official of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, Heinzl's face turned dark, and he did not recover for several days.

Like Bovard, Heinzl sensed bad omen in the performance of Chinese officials. The fact that the other side dared to welcome the EU investigation mission with such fanfare shows that they have nothing to fear. The EU has delayed too much time in this matter, and it is estimated that the Chinese have made full preparations, and it is very difficult for them to find out some clues on this trip. If the survey does not reach a conclusion in favor of Europe, it means that Chinese companies can dump their wind turbine products at very low prices with impunity. At that time, European companies will either surrender or be forced to fight a price war with each other, and finally shed all their blood.

As for why Chinese companies will not go bankrupt due to price wars, Heinzl is like a mirror in his heart. The Chinese government has always spared no expense in supporting industrial development, and who knows how much they subsidize these companies. Don't look at China as a poor country, and the per capita GDP of EU countries is almost more than 10 times that of China, but in terms of the strength of government support for enterprises, the EU cannot even do 10% of China.

Of course, this is only the case in the EU in recent years. In order to support the development of Airbus, the EU smashed tens of billions of euros before and after, which enabled Airbus to stand out under the pressure of Boeing. In recent years, Europe has been degenerating, the countries of the European Union are competing with each other, and those countries in southeastern, southwestern and northern Europe are eager to turn themselves into a flea and lie on the EU to suck blood for a living. EU funds are diverted to subsidize the fiscal crisis of these countries, where is the money to support industrial development.

The competition between Pumai and Lin Chongfan is not so much the competition between enterprises, but rather that Pumai, a company with tens of thousands of people, is singled out against a large eastern country with a population of 1.3 billion.

With such a premonition in his heart, and looking at the banner hung by Lin Chongfan, Heinzl's feelings can be imagined. He even had the urge to find a ladder to tear the banners down and tear them up, but he knew it was impossible.

"Friends, do you want to go to the conference room to take a rest first, or go directly to the production workshop to have a look?"

Li Song, the deputy general manager of Lin Chong's side in charge of receiving the investigation team, politely asked everyone that the expression on his face was the same as that of Xu Zhenbo and Feng Xiaochen. If you have to make up four words, it is really underbeaten.

"I thought, let's go straight to the workshop. ”

Without waiting for the others to speak, Heinzl replied first. He wasn't worried that Lin Chong would take advantage of this time to do anything, because if people wanted to do hands and feet, they already had a few months to do it, and they didn't need to wait until this time. He just didn't want to wait any longer, he was anxious to see how the Chinese did it, and at the same time there was a trace of luck in his heart, that is, to be able to find out the flaws of the Chinese, and then chase after him and completely expose the false face of the Chinese.

Heinzl spoke, and everyone didn't bother to refute it, so they nodded in agreement. Li Song was as good as a stream, and immediately asked his entourage to run to the workshop to inform, and he took a group of Europeans to follow slowly and walked towards the workshop.

"Mr. Li, your factory seems to be very new. ”

Walking on the road, a representative of a wind turbine company from Italy, Leffenweire, casually asked Li Song. Linzhong Fan is a subsidiary of Linzhong Group, and Linzhong Group is a group company established by the original Linbei Heavy Machinery after merging a number of enterprises. The factory area of Lin Zhong Fan covers a large area, and most of the factories look very new, and you can even faintly smell some paint when you pass by the factory, so Leffenwell will ask this question.

Li Song replied with a smile: "Yes, we have built four large assembly workshops in the past six months, and as for the small workshops that assist the process, they are not worth mentioning." The production site that we will be going to see in a moment is in our new workshop, which is capable of producing 150 megawatts of wind turbines a year. ”

"You mean, you have four of the same workshops?" asked Reading, another representative of a wind turbine company from the UK.

Li Song shook his head and said, "No, we have six such workshops, four of which have been newly built in the past six months. In addition, we have built assembly sites next to several wind farms in China, which together have a capacity of more than 500 MW per year. ”

Lefenweil counted his fingers and asked in surprise: "So, your company has at least an annual production capacity of 1,400 megawatts of wind turbines?"

"So far. Li Song said.

"But can you digest such a large amount of manufacturing capacity?" said Emmeline. The annual production capacity of 1,400 megawatts of wind turbines is not reached by few companies in Europe. Prometheus is one of the oldest wind turbine manufacturers in Europe, with a production capacity of less than 1,000 megawatts, and it is seriously under-employed, with an annual output of 6 or 700 megawatts. Lin Chong Fan's position in the industry is far less than that of Promai, but it dares to form a production capacity of 1,400 megawatts, is this a blind expansion move?

Li Song smiled slightly and said, "What is this, we also plan to build at least 10 more large-scale workshops, of course, not in this factory area, but near the wind farm." Our company's medium-term plan is to have a production capacity of 4,000 MW by 2015. ”

Lose your marbles!

This is the idea that all Europeans have at the same time. In 2007, the world's new installed capacity of wind power was only 20,000 megawatts, according to the planning of Lin Zhong wind turbines, they alone will occupy 20% of the global share, isn't this crazy? If this plan can be realized, then European wind turbine companies can wash and sleep, what the Chinese like to say is: there is only one China in the world, well, this means that there is nothing to do with them foreigners.
