Chapter 1489: Pros and Cons in Friction!

After dealing with my parents and parents, it was already half past one in the afternoon.

Li Fanyu looked at the time, there was still a meeting waiting for him before it sounded, so he said to Li's father and Li's mother who were washing the dishes: "Parents, there is still something to do in my group, I'll withdraw first, you two have a good time at home, don't fight,"

Mama Li, who was wiping the table, threw away the rag and went to change her shoes.

Seeing her like this, Li Fan was stunned, "What, why are you going?"

"Of course I'm with you!" Li's mother said while tying her shoes: "My son has been in Tiancheng and has laid down such a big country in Fuzhou, why don't I go to inspect it?"

When Dad Li heard this, he stuffed the bowl into the cupboard, "I'll go too!" When I think that my son initiated the construction of this land, I can't help but be excited. ”

Li Fanyu was happy.

That's a must!

He waved his car keys and said, "Let's go!"

……

In front of the Zhengxin Future Center, which was engaged in interior decoration, Li Fanyu casually found a construction supervision manager of Zhengxin and asked him to take Li's father and Li Ma around, and by the way, he was a tour guide. The little manager saw that it was Li Fanyu himself, and listened to Li Fanyu's introduction, and learned that the couple standing in front of him was Li Dong's parents.

Li Fanyu then took leave with the second elder and drove to the headquarters of the power company, which currently serves as the temporary office center of Fuzhou Zhengxin.

It's ready over there, just waiting for him to start the meeting.

Because Zhengxin currently has two administrative parts, the meeting was held in the form of video, and the senior management of the Beijing headquarters was added.

After Li Fanyu sat down, Xiao Guo, the marketing manager of the power company who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, spoke into the microphone and said: "Since Tumper signed the presidential memorandum in mid-March, the trade friction between China and Eagle has become more and more intense. This time, the Eagle side sanctioned China for "intellectual property theft", which falls within the scope of special Section 301. Compared with previous sanctions and anti-dumping investigations, the Special Section 301 is different from general trade sanctions, and the purpose of the provisions is to prepare a set of strategies to target a wider range of targets. Judging from the current international economic situation, this economic friction is bound to have an impact on a number of industries, in order to cope with the impact of the event on automobile manufacturing, the distribution industry is likely to have an impact, this meeting is hereby convened. ”

After speaking, she briefly introduced the current trade friction situation between China and Hawk.

This time, the trade friction did not break out suddenly, but has been showing signs since the beginning of the year.

In January, the Eagle Nation government announced "global safeguards for imports of large washing machines and photovoltaics for a period of four years and three years, respectively, with tariffs of up to 30% and 50%, respectively".

In February, it also announced that it would "impose anti-dumping duties of 109.95% on cast iron sewage pipe fittings imported from China", "tariffs of 25% and 10% on imported steel and aluminum respectively", "anti-dumping duties of 48.64% to 106.09% and countervailing duties of 17.14% to 80.97% on Chinese aluminum foil manufacturers".

Everything is testing step by step, pressing step by step.

On March 22, the Eagle government finally tore its skin and announced that it would "impose $50 billion tariffs on Chinese goods due to intellectual property infringement and impose investment restrictions"!

On March 23, China's Ministry of Commerce, which has repeatedly sought dialogue to no avail, issued a list of products to suspend and solicit public opinions on the 232 measures for imports of steel and aluminum products from the Eagle Country, and intends to impose tariffs on some products imported from the Eagle Country. Among them, tariffs are planned to be imposed on $3 billion worth of domestic fruits, pork, wine, seamless steel pipes and more than 100 other goods.

On April 4, trade frictions ushered in a peak; In the early morning of the 4th, the Eagle State government announced that it would impose an additional 25% tariff on more than 1,300 imported goods originating in China based on the unilateral determination results of the 301 investigation. It involves industries such as aerospace, information and communication technology, robotics and machinery, and involves about 50 billion US dollars of China's exports to the United States!

In addition, it is even more arrogant to put forward four requirements for China;

China will reduce its trade surplus by $100 billion in a year, and the possible ways to do so include RMB appreciation, restrictions on China's exports, and strengthening import purchases.

The second is to protect intellectual property rights and not allow China to engage in market-for-technology operations.

The third is market access, opening up China's hottest financial market and e-commerce market. The fourth requirement is...... It is not allowed to use government subsidies to engage in industrial policies.

It's like two people living a good life, your family is living well, and suddenly one day the old king next door pushed open the door of your house, gave you both mouths, and then asked fiercely - from today onwards, you are not allowed to cook on fire in your house, let alone you and your wife are allowed to pop between seven and nine o'clock in the evening!

Unreasonable!

The Chinese side, which was completely enraged, responded within 24 hours - not to cause trouble, but ..... is not afraid of things!

Subsequently, the Chinese Customs Tariff Commission decided to impose an additional 25% tariff on 106 items in 14 categories, including soybeans, automobiles, and chemicals, originating in the Eagle Country.

Blood for blood, tooth for tooth.

The import volume involving China from the Eagle Country is also 50 billion US dollars!

Although the dispute between China and Eagle in trade has never stopped before, this time the scale and subtlety of the attitude of the two sides are really rare!

The last thing we want is that there are any problems in the international economic environment. Those who do business naturally want to be calm.

This time, China Eagle has adjusted the tariffs of more than 10 categories and more than 3,000 kinds of commodities on both sides, which is bound to cause a series of turbulence. This is foreseeably affected by Zhengxin, whose international business is currently in a period of rapid growth.

But this time, Li Fanyu supported the tough attitude of the Chinese side in his heart.

It is always said that we are strong, we are strong. But in some specific disputes, it is always so weak, how can it show strength?

After such a distraction, a discussion had already begun in the conference room.

For Zhengxin, the downside is that the eagle side has increased tariffs on metal products, which has seriously affected the 4,5 X alloy, which has begun to export profits, and some agricultural machinery of Zhengxin Tengshi and Zhengxin Power.

On the positive side of Zhengxin, the retaliatory tariff increase issued by the Chinese side on the 4th covers automobiles. That is to say, in the coming period, the retail price of Eagle cars, especially the price of original imported car products, will rise significantly.

The price increase will inevitably lead to a decrease in sales, which is a very good opportunity for Zhengxin to increase market share!
