Chapter 693: Our Bottom Line

Jiang Xinwei smiled confidently and said, "Leaders, you must also know that the White House issued this ban not really because we were worried that we would benefit from buying and selling Microsoft shares. The dignified US politicians will not be so stingy, nor will they destroy their credibility in such a way, because the gains outweigh the losses. There are obviously other reasons in there. ”

Then he said: "Before I answer the logic, let me say a few words about the United States and the president of the United States. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States is now politically and militarily, there is no doubt that it is a powerful, almost invincible existence, and at important international conferences, it can be said that the United States is like a cloud of followers. Economically, they have also made a lot of achievements in recent years, and their debts have been reduced step by step......"

Jiang Xinwei summed it up and said: "All in all, the United States is now very confident and completely full of ambition. ”

Jiang Tengyun said: "What you say is the truth, but this just shows that the United States has the confidence to block China's accession to the WTO. And judging from the negotiations in the past two years, they are indeed adding layers of weight and setting up more obstacles for us. Clinton's senior counselor, Jean Sperling, once openly said, 'I will never accept your Chinese terms, and you will never ever receive the most favored nation treatment!' …… , Jiang Dong, how do you explain this?"

Jiang Xinxu replied: "The economic development of the United States is something that ordinary people are happy to see. But not necessarily for politicians. They absolutely do not want their political opponents to achieve excellent results, and they do not want the hearts of the people to completely fall to each other. Clinton belongs to the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party is naturally his natural enemy. As the Republicans see that the Democratic Party is gaining the support of the people day by day, how can they be willing, how can they not oppose it, and how can they not play tricks against Clinton? You must know that next year will be the year of the US presidential election, and if they cannot prevent Clinton's re-election this year or next, they will have to wait another four years before they can do so. ”

Jiang Tengyun said a little dissatisfied: "Jiang Dong, what you are saying now has nothing to do with the question I asked, at least you didn't answer me positively. Can you be more direct?"

Jiang Xinxu said: "To put it bluntly, if Clinton wants to be re-elected steadily, he must come up with a greater and more surprising result, which can make the Republican Party have nothing to say but to willingly admit defeat and dare not hope to win this election." You say that if you force China to compromise and join the WTO on their terms, and let US companies go on a big kill against China and make a lot of money, is there anything more than that?"

Jiang Tengyun immediately said: "Dreaming! He Clinton is not a fool, and it is impossible for him to daydream like this." Although we are poor, we still have a few hard bones, and you want us to make a big compromise?

The other ministers nodded their heads as well.

Even Lu Xiangtao, Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, also said: "It is impossible for us in telecommunications to give up our bottom line. ”

Although Jiang Xinwei did not participate in the WTO negotiations between China and the United States, he was reborn and knew that telecommunications accounted for a large proportion of this negotiation, and two of the seven bottom lines that China adhered to were related to telecommunications: First, we insisted that the basic telecommunications joint venture shares should not exceed 49% of the foreign party, and the value-added telecommunications joint venture shares should not exceed 50% of the equity of the foreign party; Second, the port bureaus for basic telecommunications entering and exiting China must be controlled by our side, and foreign enterprises cannot be left to build information entrances and exits on their own.

Seeing Jiang Xinwei looking at him, Lu Xiangtao said resolutely: "All information entering and leaving our country, whether it is in the sky or underground, must pass through our country's three gateway bureaus. How is it possible for the Yankees to build a pass that will not go through these three passes? Let them do their own thing, and how can we talk about China's sovereignty? How can we guarantee national security? This is a major issue involving China's security, not a simple issue of economic interests, and we must never let go of it! Whoever loosens his mouth will be a traitor!

The Minister of Finance also interjected: "Minister Lu is right! China's agricultural subsidies cannot be as demanded by the Yankees, and there must be banking business, insurance business, and automobile tariffs, and I must be the main ones!"

……

Waiting for everyone to be quieter, Jiang Tengyun looked at Jiang Xinwei and asked, "Jiang Dong, you won't persuade us to give up our bottom line, right?"

Jiang Xinxu immediately said: "No, no, how is it possible? I, a small business owner, dare to say anything about such a big issue? I just talk about my thoughts, and I will interpret the ban issued by the Yankees. I think it is possible for the Yankees to use the telecommunications negotiations to make a compromise that will benefit both sides and lead to an early signing of the talks. ”

Lu Xiangtao asked in surprise: "Are you saying that the Yankees will respect our bottom line, give up their unreasonable demands, and make a breakthrough in telecommunications negotiations first?"

Jiang Xinxu nodded and said, "There is this possibility." ”

The old man sitting at the top smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang, you can tell me why, let them listen to those who are as aggressive as roosters." Hehe, they were so scary just now, I'm worried that they will point at you and scold you, saying that you are a traitor. ”

Jiang Xinwei smiled and said, "If they scold me like this, I won't be angry, it means that everyone is patriotic." ”

Then, he said: "The reason why I understand it this way and say that the Yankees issued the ban is actually to compromise, and to replace defense with offense, is not only because of Clinton's need to be re-elected president, but also because of the needs of US telecommunications companies and several major conglomerates." Why? Let me brag about my Feixun Group and China Software Technology Co., Ltd. here. It is because our two companies have dug up the foundation of these companies in the United States, so that they feel the crisis and no longer dare to be arrogant. ”

Lu Xiangtao shook his head and said, "Impossible." The U.S. telecommunications industry has a strong foundation, and although we have two excellent companies, it is impossible to shake the position of the United States, at least in the short term. There is no need for them to be afraid. ”

Jiang Xinwei said: "Since the 90s, the fastest development, the most vigorous, the most optimistic is telecommunications, now the Internet, the future will be the IT industry, this is already the consensus, which country in the Internet, in the field of IT to take the lead, in the next century is the world economic leader." That is why the United States cannot wait to propose the construction of a nationwide information superhighway and to invest $300 billion to $500 billion in the next five to 10 years to complete it. ”

He smiled and said, "But just as they were striding towards the fat prey with confidence, they suddenly found that a vicious wolf appeared beside them, and they wanted to grab this fat prey with them, how could they not be afraid?"
