612 Anti-dumping

"Forget it, it's difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and this kind of thing is not something that we outsiders can interfere with." Huang Gang saw Lin Zhenhua's embarrassed look, and hurriedly played a round, "Brother Lin, actually, I have met Senior Sister He a few times." She told me that she feels very happy now, and that loving someone doesn't have to be together. ”

"Are you trying to persuade me?" Lin Zhenhua said with annoyance, "The more you say this, the more I feel sorry for Lan Lan." Alas, creation makes people. ”

"Don't talk about that, Brother Lin, tell me about your Frankfurt show. I've also seen some reports that the China Pavilion is in the limelight at the Frankfurt fair, with turnover increasing by more than 50% compared to previous years. Huang Gang diverted the topic and talked about work.

Zhang Qiong originally wanted to talk more about He Lan with Lin Zhenhua, but seeing that her husband refused to say any more, it was difficult to say anything, so she could only sit on the sidelines and listen to these two men with the overall situation talking about national affairs.

Lin Zhenhua introduced the events at the exhibition to Huang Gang again, and expressed his gratitude to Huang Gang for his help during the production of the promotional video.

"Wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it, your Hanhua Heavy Industry has been quite aggressive in the international market over the years, and it is normal for Western manufacturers to be jealous of you." Huang Gang said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "People who are not hated by others are mediocre talents. A country that is not hated by others is a failed country. If China wants to rise, this kind of hated thing will definitely increase. ”

Huang Gang said: "Yes, China's rise will inevitably damage the interests of Western countries, and it is abnormal for Western countries not to oppose us." By the way, recently there is a popular book in the United States called "Who Moved My Cheese", I think, let's move other people's cheese, of course people are not happy. ”

"Brother Lin, do you remember the first time we went to their dormitory in Huanggang? I remember you said something you said at the time, you said: they still have some skills, but they are going to lose. I really didn't believe it at the time, but over the years, I slowly became a little bit of a believer. Zhang Qiong interjected on the side.

That was still 87 years ago, and Yu Jian, an expert in the Huanggang War, refuted Yu Jian's theory of abandoning the entire industrial chain and only doing one industrial link. Later, Lin Zhenhua took He Lan and Zhang Qiong to the Huanggang dormitory to talk about world affairs, optimistically predicting that in 20 years, the economy of the West will be overtaken by the rising China, and the West will have no way out.

More than ten years have passed, and these words, which were considered to be kreacherous words at the time, are now getting closer and closer to reality.

Huang Gang asked with concern: "Brother Lin, how true do you think the information they got from the Chen Bureau can be?" They warn that Western manufacturers will unite against Chinese companies, do you think it's possible? ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Bureau Chen, they are engaged in intelligence work, and they are completely chasing after the wind and shadows, and he will definitely not take it out and talk to me so solemnly." Khedira, a man I have dealt with, is a man who believes in the racial superiority of the Germanic peoples, and he is absolutely hostile to the rise of China. So it's no surprise that he's trying to contain China everywhere.

As for other Western manufacturers, I think as our competitiveness grows, they will gradually start to be wary of us. In fact, the blockade imposed on us by Japanese manufacturers over the years has been stronger than in the past, and the reason is also because they feel the pressure of our competition.

When it comes to the banding of Western manufacturers, I don't think there's a need to worry too much. There is no credibility between enterprises, everything revolves around interests. Even if they can form an alliance on the surface, behind the scenes, they still have their own careful thoughts. When the time comes, we will fight and pull a batch, so that we will not worry that they will not be divided and disintegrated. ”…,

"And what about the governments of Western countries? Do you think it is possible for them to contain China? Huang Gang continued to ask.

"It's hard to say at the level of the government, it depends on the power of various interest groups in the government. In this regard, Xiao Huang, do you have any information? Lin Zhenhua asked in turn.

Huang Gang nodded and said, "Since the beginning of this year, there have indeed been some new situations. The European Union has launched an anti-dumping investigation into China's exports of textiles, plastic products, bicycles, and other goods, and the United States has also put forward several antidumping motions. ”

"Hehe, it's finally here." Lin Zhenhua was not surprised by what Huang Gang said, he just smiled lightly.

The so-called dumping, according to the definition in textbooks, refers to the sale of products by a country in foreign markets at a price lower than the domestic market price or below the cost.

For example, if a piece of clothing made in China sells for 5 yuan in the Chinese market and 4 yuan in the U.S. market, it is dumping. As we all know, the cost of a product shipped to a foreign market for sale will definitely be higher than in the domestic market, but if it is sold cheaper in the foreign market, it is naturally to seize the market and squeeze the other party's peers. This practice is a violation of the rules in international trade, and the injured country can impose high anti-dumping duties on the products involved in dumping to offset the impact of its price reduction, and such countermeasures are protected by WTO rules.

To put it mildly, anti-dumping is a very nonsensical matter, and if a country's goods are sold cheaply, isn't it more beneficial to the importing country? Aren't you happy to spend less money? Actually, it's not that simple.

Many brick makers have fooled us and said that Chinese goods are sold very cheaply in the international market, and this is a part-time job for foreigners, and they have suffered a lot of losses. Such remarks can generally be applauded by everyone, who thinks that they belong to the kind of scholars who are particularly "conscientious" and truly think about the people.

One point that these brick makers cannot justify is that since selling cheap goods is a loss to China and benefits the United States, why does the US government want to carry out anti-dumping of China's cheap goods instead? Could it be that the U.S. government feels sorry for the Chinese people and cries and shouts that we must not suffer?

The point that the bricks do not understand, or pretend to be confused, is that even the dumped products are profitable for the exporting country. For example, a mouse made in China is sold for 5 dollars when exported, and it is said that one can only earn 10 cents. As everyone knows, in addition to the 10 cents, there are also taxes paid by enterprises and wages taken by workers, which are also earned by China as a whole.

If you refuse to produce this mouse because it is cheap, then these workers will be unemployed, and they would have worked 8 hours a day and earned 50 yuan in wages. Now they can only sit on the side of the road and bask in the sun, for the same 8 hours, and they don't earn a penny.

The logic of the bricks is this: instead of selling this mouse for $5, you should sell it for $50, so that China can make more money.

But the reality is different: you either sell for $5 or you lose the order, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, ...... There are countless companies in the world that are waiting to grab this order.

The bricks are a bunch of spoiled children, they have always depicted their theoretical blueprint according to their own fictional world, and it is a pity that they don't change their careers to write online yy novels.

In the early years, the developed countries were actually very fond of dumping by developing countries, and at that time the developed countries were still very rich, and they didn't care about losing these jobs, and they felt that it was very pleasant to be able to buy cheaper things from developing countries. ..., Lin Zhenhua had such doubts when he was first engaged in international trade in the early 80s. At that time, the fan produced by Hanhua Industrial Company sold for more than 200 yuan in the domestic market and more than 40 US dollars in the international market, which was less than 150 yuan when converted into local currency according to the exchange rate.

At that time, Lin Zhenhua, who had the residual memory of the 21st century, was particularly worried that such a price would attract anti-dumping by Western countries, and as a result, when he told others such doubts, he was invariably ridiculed. Everyone thinks that there is something wrong with his brain, and things are sold cheaply, how can people be unhappy?

Now, what he feared has finally come true. China has become the world's factory in just 20 years, and for the first time in world history, a single economy with up to 200 million manufacturing workers has emerged. These 200 million manufacturing workers produce half of the world's industrial goods, and home appliances and hardware such as tape recorders, bicycles, televisions, and microwave ovens often reach more than 80% of the global share.

As a result, a large number of global jobs have flowed to China, and unemployment in Western countries has begun to rise, inducing various social problems. In the first two or three years of the 21st century, Western countries have only just felt the pressure of China's rise, and as time passes, this pressure is getting stronger and stronger, and the contradictions between China and the West are becoming increasingly intense.

"What, Brother Lin, aren't you surprised by this?" Huang Gang saw Lin Zhenhua's breezy face, and couldn't help but ask curiously. You must know that this kind of antidumping investigation is still a new topic for China, and the Planning Commission has discussed this matter many times, and the officials all feel that it is a great matter that needs to be seriously dealt with.

Lin Zhenhua said: "It's not surprising at all. The banner of free trade is the favorite of Western countries to carry, because they can hold this banner to force developing countries to open their doors. However, when they find that they will not only not take advantage of free trade, but will also suffer losses, they will not hesitate to throw this flag into the toilet and sacrifice all kinds of trade protection means. Anti-dumping is just a dessert before a meal, and the real dish is still to come. ”
