The negotiations lasted three days.

In the past three days, Ye Qing only routinely communicated with the negotiation team about the current negotiation progress every day, and spent the rest of his time concentrating on the Longxitan factory.

Three days later, the negotiations ended.

As a result of the negotiations, EU countries opened their domestic markets to Behemoth's Thunder Cars, Phantom Mobile Phones, and liquid printers. However, Phantom mobile phones and liquid printers will be subject to additional import duties of 20% and 35% respectively.

Additional tariffs, also known as trade barriers.

This is a tool often used by countries to protect their local manufacturing industry, and there are very few products that can monopolize the market when looking at the world. It's more of a few companies with the same type of products, falling in love and killing each other. From two braised vegetable shops in one town to a mobile phone giant between two countries.

Almost all the non-monopoly companies in China that can make their products internationally popular have suffered from trade barriers.

The most typical example is Cai Songhua, the glass king who visited Laomei with Ye Qing last year.

Cai Songhua, the glass king, is the most successful businessman in China in the glass industry. China is the best, and naturally it is also extraordinary in the international business circle. The automotive glass produced by their company has been listed as a long-term partner by many automobile manufacturers around the world. In the most glorious days of the past few years, the glass king Cai Songhua even once occupied 26% of the European automotive glass supply market.

Even if a set of auto glass only has a net profit of ten yuan, 26% of the automobile market in Europe is enough for Cai Songhua to eat a full pot.

At that time, many European automotive glass manufacturers were miserable and on the verge of bankruptcy.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Europe directly raised the banner of trade barriers for anti-dumping investigations. They just raised the import tariff by 9% on the original basis of the auto glass produced by Cai Songhua's enterprise.

The 90% increase in the tax rate will allow buyers to pay about three euros more per set of glass than before.

It is this three euros that made Cai Songhua's business in Europe plummet from the original 26% of the market to less than 12%. Because of the mature large-scale industrial products such as automotive glass, the price competition between various companies is very fierce. They squeeze their profits to the limit, often selling a set for only a few euros in profit.

Now that Cai Songhua's products are forced to increase their prices, buyers will naturally consider the cost and use cheaper alternative products.

This is known as trade barriers, or trade protection.

Since the beginning of the new century, China has won the championship for 17 consecutive years, and has encountered the most obstacles from trade barriers.

Now Europe has put up trade barriers to the behemoth industry.

The domestic price of a Phantom crystal mobile phone is close to 6,000 yuan, and the price is 7,000 yuan after arriving in Europe, and an Apple PLUS in Europe is about 1,000 yuan lower than that of Huaxia. At that time, in the European market, there will be an embarrassing situation that Phantom mobile phones are more than 2,000 more expensive than Apple.

Even in China, the first-generation Phantom crystal mobile phone can only be evenly divided in the face of the flagship model launched by Apple this year. What's more, in Europe, consumers have to pay more than 2,000 extra to buy Phantom crystal mobile phones?

If Phantom mobile phones want to achieve success in the European market, the first generation naturally can't.

However, this tariff cannot be canceled, because Huaxia also imposed an additional 17% tariff on Apple mobile phones.

Europe has opened up its market, and at the same time, Behemoth Industries will open up the six civilian expansions of biofiber materials in the agreement, in addition to providing ghost armor.

The six programs focus on medical, architectural, and aesthetic aspects.

The expansion of the military side was very cruelly rejected by the Behemoth Industry.

Although the countries are eager to get all the military expansion projects in their hands immediately, they also understand that even if the giant beast industry agrees, it is impossible for the Chinese government to allow it.

In addition, they are very satisfied that they can make such progress in the first cooperation.

The development of science and technology cannot be achieved overnight, and it is impossible to swallow all the beautiful fruits in one bite. As long as the two sides maintain stable cooperation, the European side believes that in the near future, they will be able to explore the secrets of biofiber materials.

As long as this material is developed in reverse, all the technical shackles will collapse in an instant, and they can do whatever they want when the time comes.

As for whether it can be developed in reverse, only God knows.

When Behemoth reached an agreement with Europe, the news that its thunder cars, liquid printers, and Phantom mobile phones landed in the European market together was confirmed by both parties.

Immediately swept through the entire network like a hurricane.

Two days later, the Monster Industries and European delegations held a press conference to officially announce the announcement.

This time, almost all the well-known media outlets in Europe came.

"The Times", "The Daily Telegraph", "ZDF", "Evening Newspaper", "Le Figaro", "Radio Monte's Carlo", etc......

Seemingly overnight, residents of distant Europe suddenly found that the media had swiped a screen that made them a little baffled.

- Behemoth Industries is coming?

——Phantom crystal mobile phone officially landed in Europe, how did Apple respond?

- Meaningful cooperation, after today, our lives will be changed.

- Should we be happy or worried about the technology from the Behemoth Industry?

At least half of the citizens of Europe are baffled by the much-reported Behemoths in the media. Because people living in Europe, where capital is highly developed, are inherently contemptuous of all countries except the United States.

Even if they care about current affairs and technology information, it is also the current affairs and technology information of Europe.

The country of China, except for a small group of scholars with a high degree of knowledge and broad vision, believes that it is the greatest rival of Europe. Ordinary people only have a vague understanding of the concept of Huaxia as "the world's most populous country and a very ancient country".

As for the giant beast industry, which has just risen from China for more than a year, it is well-known in Europe, and even oppo mobile phones can't compare.

Who made Europe ban the sale of Behemoth industrial products before?

Against this backdrop, even if ordinary people have seen an introduction about this company on the news before, it won't take long for them to become vague. If they don't have access to the products of the giant beast industry, they naturally won't think that this company is very good.

So they watched the media swipe the screen one by one, and most of them were very inexplicable.

Ordinary people don't know much about this company, but those well-known media can't wait to have a relationship with this company every once in a while.

Because this company, almost all the products launched, are revolutionary.

At the official press conference, when the spokesperson routinely announced the content of the cooperation, almost all the reporters from Europe raised their hands to ask questions.

"Mr. Kong, may I ask if your company's thunder car is equipped with a remote driving function in Europe?"

"Due to the differences in driving habits and traffic laws between the two regions, the version released in Europe does not currently support remote driving. We plan to release only the Thunderbolt version in Europe, but the exact release time will not be determined until the Thunderbolt car has passed NCAP verification. Kong Tao, who acted as a spokesman, rubbed his eyes that were a little sore from the flash, and then motioned to the next reporter.

"Then Mr. Kong, is the Phantom crystal mobile phone that your company is about to release in Europe the first or second generation?"

"We have received news that Behemoth Industries has planned to launch a second generation of mobile phones. ”

"Second generation. Kong Tao directly confirmed this gossip circulating on the Internet.

Needless to say, the news must have flowed out from the side of the company's employees. The company employs thousands of people, and the situation that the second-generation Phantom crystal mobile phone is about to be released is not information that needs to be kept strictly confidential. Now in the outer packaging workshop with the largest number of people in the company, the outer packaging of the second-generation phantom crystal mobile phone has arrived in large quantities, and the blind know that the second-generation mobile phone is about to come out.

The reporter also wanted to ask about the specific release time, and Kong Tao told him that the news would be announced at the special press conference of Phantom Crystal mobile phone.

The questions were asked in the order of the various media, and when the French reporter asked him, the reporter asked Kong Tao whether the giant industry was confident enough in the prospects of the entire European market.

Because judging from the previously announced information, several products of the giant beast industry have been added with expensive tariffs.

"The reporter of Le Figaro is a good question. Kong Tao smiled slightly, "If our products are added to the tariff, there will be a situation where the price of the product in the European market is much higher than the price in the Chinese market." Under normal circumstances, before we buy electronic products, we will fully compare the cost performance of this product. ”

"The two products have similar functions, so naturally the one with the lower price sells well. ”

"However, there is no comparable type of our giant beast industrial products in the market to refer to and compare. ”

"If I were a European consumer, I would be happy to buy Behemoth Industries, even if it's a bit expensive. ”

"It seems that Mr. Kong is confident, but I think that there are similar products that can be compared with Thunder Auto and Phantom Crystal mobile phones, such as Tesla and Apple mobile phones. As he spoke, the reporter took out his mobile phone and shook it.

Even if he only showed the front of the phone, he didn't show the logo on the back. Everyone can still tell from the full-size screen of this mobile phone's very personalized "Qi bangs" that it is an Apple flagship model. To be honest, this reporter's question and show like this are a bit out of line.

He should say that the new energy vehicle with the largest market share, and the world's best-selling smartphone, anyway, everyone knows that he is talking about Tesla and Apple.

However, he didn't say bad things about these two brands, and he wouldn't be held accountable for more news content.

Unexpectedly, Kong Tao's answer was even bolder.

"I don't think that the two products you gave an example of are competitors to the thunder car and the second-generation phantom crystal mobile phone. Their technologies are not at the same level, so they cannot be compared with the same type of products. ”

"The sales of the thunder car in Huaxia have proven everything, the second generation of Phantom crystal mobile phone, I think after you experience it, you will find its amazing, even if it is expensive, you are willing to buy it. ”

"If I had to describe it, I would describe the feeling of amazement I felt when I saw the second-generation Phantom Crystal phone for the first time in my life. ”

"Reporter, do you remember how you felt when you first used your smartphone?"

Kong Tao smiled as always, and didn't care about describing the Apple phone as worthless, how arrogant did it seem in the eyes of these European journalists?

And the reporter was already in thought.

How do you feel using a smartphone for the first time?

He remembered that at the end of June 2010, he bought the first Apple IV in his life.

At that time, he really understood the meaning of smartphones.

This spokesman dared to use the feeling of using a smartphone for the first time to describe the second-generation Phantom crystal mobile phone?

He was the first to be unconvinced.
