Chapter 48: New Changes
As the enterprise that earns the most foreign exchange through exports in China for a long time, Wanhu actually has more say in this matter.
Takahashi himself was invited to the capital and held meetings again and again.
However, Takahashi did not make any speech at the meeting, and he was not a stunned young man.
Even, the existence of ten thousand households makes many people feel uncomfortable.
Originally, the full opening of China's foreign trade was like importing cars in the south of the sea, and it was a business that would make sure that it would not lose money.
However, the existence of Wanhu is like a mirror, so that those who want to be compradors, before becoming compradors, must think about it carefully, and think about it.
And the dragon and snake dance in this place in the capital, and Takahashi didn't know what to say to offend that person, so he had to stop talking.
In addition, the commodities that Wanhu is engaged in exporting are either digital rendering videos, video games, or hardware products such as handhelds.
Relatively speaking, the profits are okay, and there is room for comparison in tariffs. Even if you strive for preferential treatment, it will not be particularly preferential, but will offend more people and lose more.
However, there are times when he can't be a quail if he wants to.
Even if he doesn't want to speak, there are people who want him to speak.
The history of Takahashi's fortune is completely different from that of China's wealthy who rose in the late nineties, and it can be said to be a legend.
People who don't have a stake in Takahashi himself actually admire Takahashi's resolute return to China from Yumoto.
You must know that even in the 90s, China was still a first-class country in the world.
Panasonic's TVs, Sony's photographic equipment, Mitsubishi, Honda, and Toyota's cars are all famous in China.
However, I still have a lot of concerns about investing in China.
For example, China's first Sino-foreign joint venture automobile factory was originally intended to cooperate with Toyota, but in order to avoid policy winds, Toyota finally the first joint venture with China's Changchun First Automobile Factory was Germany's Volkswagen.
Takahashi has also helped Toyota and FAW in the past, after all, Takahashi produced "Initial D" for Toyota, a car manga that is famous in the book and even around the world.
The protagonist Takumi's car is a Leiling car with the frame code AE86, which can be said to have contributed a lot to Toyota in the field of culture.
You must know that at the beginning of Toyota, like all late-developing car factories, it started from imitation, although there has been an accumulation of technology over the years.
But in order to wash away the cottage brand left back then, it took I don't know how much effort.
Especially in China, if it is not for the state to support its own automobile enterprises, it will charge high tariffs on foreign cars.
It is estimated that there are not many people who want to buy domestic cars, because domestic cars represent the low-end, on behalf of copycats, especially young people, who are even more reluctant to buy domestic cars.
But as soon as the comic book and arcade game "Initial D" came out, everything was different.
Countless young people have fallen in love with Toyota's cars because they like this comic. Toyota's image has been whitewashed all of a sudden, and car sales have also increased greatly.
You know, this is something that you can't do with any amount of advertising money.
Because of this incident, Wanhu has always had a good relationship with Toyota, and Toyota has always had a good relationship with Takahashi.
However, cross-border cooperation, even if there is a close person like Takahashi, still needs to be cautious and cautious.
Toyota is not building a joint venture factory in China, which seems to be the most important problem of money, but in fact, the main political (meow) problem.
The relationship between China and Yuben has a long history, from ancient times to modern times, and many things have happened in modern times, especially in modern times.
The invasion of China by Yuben's army caused great pain to the Chinese people.
Although since the eighties, the propaganda of China and Japan is a family.
But the kind of propaganda that faces the bottom, high-level people like Toyota, are actually not particularly serious.
Because they all know very well that this is just a political (meow) need.
When there are common interests, China and Japan are friendly, and when the interests of the two countries are different, they begin to propagate hostility.
The problem is special in that it is geographically very close to China. But politically (meow) is unusually close to the United States.
This is the after-effect of defeat, after all, the father of the modern country is MacArthur, and the US army is stationed in the country.
Sino-Japanese friendship is not decided by China and Japan, but by China and the United States.
If the United States needs to break with China, then it must break with the United States.
If that happens, will Toyota be able to establish a joint venture with Toyota?
Isn't the massive investment in vain?
As a result, Toyota rejected the offer to build a joint venture in China.
In the end, it was cheaper than the German Volkswagen Group, which was the second partner.
The main car produced after the joint venture between Volkswagen and the First Automobile Factory is the Jetta sedan.
In addition, a large number of replacement has been replaced, originally as a government (meow) government car, but the failure rate remains high, rain leakage in summer, wind leakage in winter North (meow) Beijing 212 jeep.
As a result, Volkswagen has suddenly become synonymous with high-end cars in the eyes of the Chinese people.
Moreover, because the design of the German Volkswagen's car was much more stable and safe than the Chinese imitation cars at that time, the leather was dry and dry-resistant.
It has also passed down the name of Volkswagen good, that is, good.
Even most of Wanhu's current commercial cars have been changed to Jetta.
It's not because Takahashi thinks Volkswagen is good, but because after all, the price of joint venture production is much cheaper than imported cars.
Originally, only a few people may have a car to travel, but after the mass production of the domestic Jetta, 10,000 households bought a lot at once.
The efficiency of work has suddenly increased a lot.
It is precisely because of the previous events that Takahashi tried to match, but he has not received any good results. Takahashi was slightly disappointed.
Therefore, he has the mind to let them toss, and he does not speak.
If he had acted according to the script he remembered, what would have happened in the future would not have been bad.
It is precisely because the United States underestimated China's strength, let China join the World Trade Organization, and also formulated many regulations that are beneficial to itself, but will be pitted against itself in the future, that China can develop.
Actually, Takahashi was thinking about it even when he was in another world.
In fact, the treaty that the country most wants to restore is probably the "Sino-US Friendship and Trade Agreement" signed during the Republic of China.
At first, it seemed that the United States was dumping goods against China, but in the 21st century......
I'm really looking forward to the future......
After a day's meeting, Takahashi stood up and stretched his waist.
