087: Arbitration Again
The environmental protection department's action has shaken the major car companies, but the most shocking ones are the international suppliers.
In China's engine market, the total annual output of engines has exceeded 30 million units in recent years.
Such a huge amount of data seems brilliant, but in such a large base of data, the proportion of people with complete independent property rights is less than 10%.
This means that more than 90 percent of the companies rely on joint venture technology or joint venture production.
Although many media people and media organizations like to smear gold on their faces, and frequently like to report articles on topics such as 'Huaxia Core' occupying half of the country and Huaxia engines going global, these are just self-deception from the perspective of fundamental attributes.
What's even more disgusting is that due to the guidance of some media, some unknown consumers think that those engines with the halo of 'Huaxia Core' are pure domestic products.
In this way, for many consumers who have 'domestic feelings' but do not know what to do, the products labeled as domestic products will naturally increase their attractiveness.
The domestic engine market seems to be extremely prosperous, but behind this there are many deep helpless but unchangeable loneliness.
Just as the environmental protection department has raised the emission standards this time, the emission problem of engines in the domestic market has always been a big problem.
It's not that the environmental protection department is unwilling to raise the standard, or that consumers are dragging their feet and making the exhaust gas problem worse.
Although some car owners may complain about the current implementation standards, the most fundamental reason behind this is those international suppliers.
For China's industrial market, no matter what industry it is, there seems to be an unwritten rule.
Those foreign suppliers seem to play a hand of 'downgrading' when they put products on the market.
That is, any product technology or product batch will always choose to be one or several levels lower than their latest mainstream technology or product.
In this way, in addition to technical control, politics and other factors, the biggest fundamental reason is that more benefits and value can be created.
At the very least, when the entire Huaxia market has products that are more than one level lower, they can use the technology that should have been eliminated to create more profits.
This is also in line with the values of capitalism, which uses all means to extract the most benefits.
Only this time, the environmental protection department's sudden increase in emission standards has hit the faces of those international suppliers.
Once the emission standard is raised, it means that the old technology will be eliminated, and the upgrading of technology is indispensable, and the original intention to maximize the benefits will also be hindered.
And with the increase in emission standards this time, it seems that more signals are also being released.
The Huaxia auto market no longer seems to be the market that it used to be arbitrarily cut.
You must know that since the end of the last century, Huaxia has caused emission standards, and after the full implementation of the new century, the frequency of standard renewal is generally about three years, and will be extended according to the actual situation of each place.
And now the national five standards that have just begun to be fully implemented have just landed, and in less than a year, the new national standard first-class standard has suddenly been born, which has to make many suppliers begin to panic.
And in the data standards of the new national standard, there are even many that have far exceeded the national standards of many developed countries that attach importance to environmental protection.
If this momentum continues, it won't be long before these international suppliers will find it difficult to continue to use old technologies to continue to make profits, and even their most mainstream technologies may run into new standards.
These are not the results they want.
For these international suppliers, if that unforeseen situation happens, it means that they will lose a piece of fat in the world's largest market.
In the capitalist world, profit always drives people crazy. The all-encompassing threat posed by the ST technology engine made them deeply uneasy, as if they were sitting comfortably in a chair quietly enjoying the crystal clear wine, when suddenly someone farted next to them.
And the current situation is not just as simple as someone farting, and this fart seems to be going to take their goblet.
A number of international suppliers are ready to rise up to prevent the fat in their mouths from being pried away.
As for the 'culprit' that caused the current situation, they are very accurate, and it must be the Universe Group.
As for the Cosmos Group, these international suppliers have been in contact for a long time.
As early as the global release of the Cosmos Group's safety system, as well as the Cosmos Group's new car purchase parts, there were gaps with several of them.
The original Magna In company was inseparable from the Universe Group.
Coupled with this time, it can be regarded as an old hatred, and a new hatred is coming.
During the trial operation of the new emission standards, inexplicably, the International Trade Organization (WCO) submitted a paper to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of China on the "Arbitration Letter on the Universe Group's Violation of International Anti-Monopoly Law".
This is exactly what was done when security systems were in vogue.
The state department of industry and commerce, together with the department of commerce, attaches great importance to this paper arbitration document.
After all, the relevant state departments are still more concerned about any international disputes.
It's like two children in a big family fighting, if they push and shout and scold in private, they won't attract much attention, and once they tell the adults in the family, the adults seem to have to follow the ridiculous rules of adulthood to face such a bad thing.
As for the object of the arbitration this time, it is the Universe Group, which makes these departments receiving the arbitration letter a little uncomfortable.
Because of the lessons of the past, they also knew that according to the original Universe Group, when faced with such a thing, they didn't seem to want to take a second look, and now that they were doing it again, they knew that the Universe Group would naturally not buy it.
The kind that doesn't even bother to respond.
Out of desperation, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, together with the Ministry of Commerce, symbolically transferred the problem to the local government of Duong Province, and instructed them to help, and gave the result.
This is a stab at Lou Zi.
When Secretary Qian was originally located at the prefecture level, he may still be very afraid of the existence of such a behemoth as the state.
At least from the bottom of my heart, I was shocked by the department with the word "country".
But after the current identity and status have changed, when I receive such an order from the 'country' brand department, I have enough confidence to deal with it.
