Core zero years of China. English is included in the compulsory course for Chinese students. So even after the second millennium AD, with the progress of the Internet industry, the communication between China and foreign countries has become more convenient, and the English test is still the biggest headache for Chinese students. And even after passing Level 4, many people are still unable to communicate verbally in English. As an inland city, there were even fewer people in Fengyuan who could communicate fluently in English at that time.

"You speak really good English". The white man smiled, "I'm Alger Joseph." This is my girlfriend, Agasha, and we are both British

Fang Mingyuan, a native of Huaxia, smiled and said, "You have to break this bun a little more, so that it will be easy to taste." It tastes even better. "Language, to really master it, you still need to speak and listen often, and the people he has been in contact with before are all Americans, so it's not bad to be able to practice with the British. And those two Britons were able to meet a foreigner in a foreign country who could communicate fluently with them in their native language, and naturally they also had a stomach of questions to ask.

The three of them chatted very casually, and Fang Mingyuan knew that both of them had already participated in the work. They were sent to work in Huaxia by their respective companies, and they have been working in Chinese for quite a long time. It was during this period that I learned. The two came to Fengyuan this time to take a paid holiday. Since the two of them can barely understand general Chinese conversation. I can also stammer, but I don't have a translator. And in the 90s, there were no thieves or robbers who dared to attack foreigners easily, and the police really caught them!

"Your language is very difficult to learn, and we have a hard time learning it! Sometimes it's just two words, and the words are put in different meanings, which is a headache for us. When Joseph talks about learning Chinese, he is full of bitterness.

"What about your language? Fang Mingyuan smiled bitterly in his heart. In my previous life, I learned Japanese because of my hobby of playing games, and Japanese is inextricably linked to Chinese after all, so although it is difficult, I am not very distressed, but I am for English. But I suffered a lot. From junior high school. has been studying for more than ten years, and this can be regarded as barely passing. If it weren't for this life. Since I was reborn, no matter how busy I am, I haven't let go of this part of study, and now I can't speak so fluently. "So what company are both of you in the UK?. Fang Mingyuan asked casually. Nowadays, foreign companies that can set up offices in the capital of China have a lot of origins.

"No, no, no. We are not employees of a UK company. I work in the small affairs office of Nokia's Father-in-law in China, and she works in the China office of Albert Steel in Luxembourg, and Joseph shook his head repeatedly.

Fang Mingyuan's heart jumped at that time, Nokia Company didn't need to mention, in the previous life, all the Chinese people who used mobile phones, there were few who didn't know the famous Nokia Company, and their products were famous for their solidity. Fang Mingyuan preferred Nokia's products in his previous life, mainly because he was sometimes sloppy, and the mobile phone fell into his hands, and he had to fall three or five times a year. Otherwise, this exchange of mobile phone money will be enough for him to drink a pot.

As for Albert Steel, I believe many people don't know, even the country of Luxembourg, I'm afraid many people only know that it is a small country in Europe with a land area of less than 3,000 square kilometers. If you ask the average person to point out the location of Luxembourg on a map of Europe. That man probably didn't know where to look.

But many people don't know that Luxembourg is the most developed industrial country on Shijie, with the highest annual per capita income. And Luxembourg is not only one of the founding members of the European Economic Community, but also one of the founding members of NATO. Luxembourg has long been the political center of the European continent. Until the sixties, Brussels replaced Luxembourg as the new political center of Europe.

However, Luxembourg retains the main offices of the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Auditors and the European Investment Bank, as well as the general secretariat of the European Parliament.

The country is also a leading international financial center. Two thousand years later, the financial sector contributed 70% to Luxembourg's GDP, and more than 150 well-known financial institutions were located here. The total assets of banks are as high as trillions of dollars.

In Luxembourg, there is also the largest satellite TV direct TV station on Shijie and Luxembourg International Cargo Airlines, the largest cargo company in Europe. But for those familiar with the Shijie steel industry, Luxembourg's Albert Steel is the most famous company in the country. Founded at the end of the last century, by the sixties of this century it was the largest steel company in Luxembourg, at that time the main source of Luxembourg's economic income was the steelmaking industry, which provided employment for most of the inhabitants of Luxembourg. It can be said that every Luxembourg family has a steel-related story in the steelmaking industry, often from father to son, son to father, from generation to generation.

In 2001, Albert Steel merged with France's Nord Iron and Steel Consortium and Spain's Ezeralil Iron and Steel Group to form the steel giant Arcelol Group. In the year 2006, the Arcelol Group merged with the Shijie No. 1 steel giant Mittal Group to form the Arcelol Mittal Group. Fang Mingyuan remembers very well that back then, the group had an annual output of 100 million tons of crude steel, accounting for Shijie steel production, Anhui, with annual sales of nearly 60 billion euros.

If you don't have any specific concept of this annual crude steel output, then Fang Mingyuan still remembers a set of data, Gong Nian. Huaxia produced a trillion tons of steel. Japan is, injured 100 million tons, the United States is, 400 million tons. That year, for the first time, Huaxia occupied the first place in the Shijie steel production ranking. In other words, the annual output of the Arcelol Jutal Group is slightly higher than that of Japan's national steel production six years ago, and slightly lower than that of China's national steel production. occupies the second place of shijie, and its energy can be imagined.

Fang Mingyuan still remembered that in his previous life, he was sent by the unit to listen to those foreign steel jishu who came to China. When they made a report, they once mentioned Reading Iron and Steel very solemnly, and Fang Mingyuan still remembered that those experts mentioned more than once that if it was purely in terms of output, Huaxia at that time was indeed the first in steel production. But from the perspective of economics, Huaxia cannot be called Shijie No. 1. It is undeniable that China is a big steel country. But it is by no means a steel power! Because the added value of the steel products of Huaxia enterprises is relatively low. Therefore, the output value of Huaxia's iron and steel industry is not high. At that time, most of the products produced by Huaxia Iron and Steel Enterprises were rebar and wire rod, which was a low-grade, large-scale product structure, and most of these steels were used in the construction of infrastructure. Such as building roads, building houses, etc. In foreign countries, it is the production of plates, such as cold and hot rolled sheets, as well as galvanized, tinned and other coated plates, as well as stainless steel, which account for more than 60% of the output of foreign enterprises. Modern means of transportation do not require a large amount of steel.

Therefore, the localization process of Huaxia's automobile industry has always been difficult. Because of the production of steel plates for automobile bodies, domestic steel enterprises either cannot produce them, or the output is extremely low, and they can only import a large number of them from abroad.

Another factor is the low labor productivity of Huaxia's iron and steel industry. In the past four years, China's steel output has been 100 million tons, and the number of Chinese iron and steel workers in comparison is 1.2 million, while the United States has less than 170,000 steel workers, and these 160,000 or so people also produce 100 million tons of steel. Compared with the two, the difference is nearly nine times. It's shocking.

From the scope of shijie, to measure whether a country is a steel power, it also depends on the international competitiveness of its country's enterprises in shijie. At this point, Huaxia does not have the capacity to match its steel production.

If we can get involved with Albed Steel Company through Agasa, we will introduce JISHU equipment. Even if it is to bring in a few experienced old workers. The jishu level of Qinxi calendering equipment factory must be able to have a catty. leap, and the future prospects are brighter,

"Hey?" Joseph stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Fang Mingyuan in surprise, he didn't understand that this young man from Huaxia, Weishenme, would actually become stunned after hearing about the company where the two of them worked.

Ah Fang Mingyuan woke up from his memories at this time, "This is really a blessing, the companies where the two people work can be said to be well-known companies in Shijie, and the future is bright!"

"Do you know our company?", little Agasha said in surprise, you know, even in the capital. The vast majority of Chinese people do not know anything about Nokia and Albert Steel, and they only know the names of American and Japanese companies such as Toshiba, Hitachi, and General Motors. Unexpectedly, in this inland Fengyuan, there is a young man who said that he knew.

Fang Mingyuan smiled slightly: "Nokia is not from Finland, it was originally a wood pulp factory. Later, the rubber tire industry and the cable industry were added, and later the three merged to form the original Nokia Group. Now you should be the main developer of Global Jishu!"

Joseph and Agasha looked at each other in astonishment. "It's amazing, you're so right!"

However, Joseph's face quickly became gloomy again, and he said, "However, the current Nokia Group. Due to poor management, he has suffered serious losses, "The reason why he and Agasha came to Fengyuan for a vacation. It is also in consideration of the bankruptcy of the group. is bound to recall himself and come to China. But I didn't see the Silk Road with my own eyes, which is a pity. "Huh?" Fang Mingyuan looked at him in disbelief, how could this be? Nokia was in good luck in his previous life, until the first ten years of the next century, it was still the main company that produced mobile phones on Shijie, how could it be?"

Fang Mingyuan suddenly remembered, he had seen a piece of information in his previous life, saying that Nokia had encountered a crisis in the ** decade, and it was in that crisis that it originally spanned several times. Nokia Group in the field has changed its paper, chemical, cable and other industries to all of them, and has concentrated all its energy on mobile phones, which has led to its later glory.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a long time, until his mutton steamed bun was delivered, and then he said: "Mr. Joseph, I don't know the specific operation of your company, and I don't know how much influence you have in your company, can you spread my words to the ears of the boss of your company, give up other industries, focus on mobile phone manufacturing, Nokia Group will have a more brilliant tomorrow He was originally a little hesitant and hesitant." Do you want to inform Joseph about the future direction of Nokia? But then I thought about it, Joseph's position in the Nokia Group is not known, and even if he does not say it, according to the normal trajectory of historical development, the Nokia Group will embark on the road of concentrating on the development of mobile phones.

Joseph and Agatha couldn't help but be even more surprised. Looking at Fang Mingyuan's age, he is only a teenager and can know Nokia and Albert Steel. It had already surprised the two of them, and his categorical words made them feel unbelievable.

Look at their stunned gaze. Fang Mingyuan scratched his head and said, "I know, it's hard for you to believe it. Today's mobile phones are very large, they look like bricks to us, and they are very expensive, and the vast majority of people in our country can't afford them anyway. But have you ever thought about it, the first Pintai electronic computer was also huge, and it needed a building to house it, and as for the cost, even the U.S. government had a headache, but it has developed to this day. The computer is ready to be put on the table. The price is still very expensive for us Chinese people, but for Americans and you, it is no longer unattainable, and I believe that in the future, electronic computers will enter thousands of households. It has become a household necessity like a TV and refrigerator. And mobile phones, I think they will also go through such a process, have you ever thought about it? You can communicate anytime and anywhere, it is the life that people yearn for in the future, if one day, the price of mobile phones has only been slap big and has dropped to the range that people can afford, all shijie people. Even if only one in 10 people approve of your mobile phone, your Nokia company will become one of the top conglomerates in Shijie!"
