"The only thing I can tell you about the rumors of GCA's acquisition of Verstaky is one sentence: no comment. Net"

Facing a room of reporters, Lin Zhenhua smiled and gave everyone a very unkind answer, which aroused a voice of righteous indignation among the reporters. Of course, everyone just shouted a few words verbally, not so much to protest to Lin Zhenhua, but to sell cuteness to Lin Zhenhua.

Since Hanhua smashed the Southern Economic Tribune, the media across the country have been in awe of Hanhua. Before all the reporters sent to cover Hanhua, before they went out, the editor-in-chief had to tell them not to provoke Hanhua and not to offend anyone in Hanhua, not even an ordinary worker.

In fact, Lin Zhenhua and Xiang Zhe's attitude towards the media is still very good, of course, the premise is that the other party does not wear colored glasses to find Hanhua's stubble. Due to the wide variety of business of Hanhua, there are often great movements, so Hanhua has simply established a regular press conference system, the first half of each press conference is to disclose the new trends of Hanhua to reporters, and the second half is to answer questions raised by reporters.

At today's press conference, for some reason, all the reporters are eyeing Hanhua's wind power business, from the United States' anti-dumping investigation to the rumors of the acquisition of Vestas, the world's largest wind turbine manufacturer. It's no wonder that these things have been spread in the community, but Hanhua himself didn't say a word.

"Mr. Lin, the U.S. government recently launched a double anti-dumping investigation of Chinese fan products exported to the United States, as the largest number and amount of wind turbine products exported to the United States, Hanhua Fan Company has any comment on this. Will this survey have a serious impact on GCA's wind turbine business? A reporter changed the question and asked Lin Zhenhua.

"Regarding the US government's initiation of a double anti-dumping investigation into Chinese wind turbines exported to the United States, our attitude is clear, that is, we strongly condemn the US government's trade protectionist behavior. We believe that trade protection will not help improve the competitiveness of U.S. wind turbine products, and it is a serious challenge to the country's efforts to combat climate change. Domestic fan manufacturers have jointly submitted a report to the Ministry of Commerce of China. The Ministry of Commerce is required to lodge solemn representations with the US side on this matter, and if necessary, the Ministry of Commerce should take retaliatory measures. In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of China's wind turbine enterprises. ”

Lin Zhenhua pretended to be like a wolf with a big tail, and spoke diplomatic rhetoric in a high-sounding manner. However, journalists will not let go of such diplomatic rhetoric. A group of people are crackling and typing on laptops, and some online media have already sent out special articles:

"Hanhua Chairman Lin Zhenhua Said: Retaliatory Measures against the United States are not ruled out"

"Hanhua will take strong revenge on the US anti-dumping and anti-dumping investigation!" 》

"In the face of the anti-dumping investigation in the United States, Lin Zhenhua is angry! 》

"Xisai's soul is scattered: Lin Zhenhua said that he will carry out nuclear retaliation against the United States! 》

……

In this age of non-startling death, it is already a luxury to ask the media to speak seriously, but fortunately, the hearts of readers have become stronger and stronger, and no one cares about the ordinary exaggeration.

"So, will the anti-dumping investigation in the United States affect the export of Hanhua fans to the United States?" The reporter continued to ask.

Lin Zhenhua shook his head decisively and said, "I think, it shouldn't be." In fact, since October last year, we have stopped exporting wind turbines to the United States. ”

"What? Has GCA stopped exporting wind turbines to the United States? "There was a commotion among the reporters, which is completely different from what everyone knows. Who doesn't know that Chinese wind turbines have occupied more than 20% of the wind turbine market in the United States, and Hanhua is the most exported wind turbine in China. Together, doesn't it prove that Hanhua is a major exporter of wind turbines to the United States? …,

However, Lin Zhenhua is also a public figure, at the press conference, could he open his eyes and tell nonsense?

After Lin Zhenhua said this, he left the stage with a smile. He was succeeded by Bi Min, director of the headquarters office of the Hanhua Group. For Bi Min, the reporters are much more familiar, and they have gathered around Bi Min to ask Bi Min what Lin Zhenhua's last sentence meant. Bi Min smiled and handed everyone a copy of the annual report of Hanhua, telling everyone that the things that everyone cares about are written in the report.

The reporters opened the report and found that Lin Zhenhua really didn't tell a lie, since October last year, the number of wind turbines exported by Hanhua to the United States has plummeted to 0, at this time, the United States has not launched a double anti-dumping investigation.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that Hanhua has taken the initiative to give up the US market? It's not like the style of Hanhua. ”

At this time, a reporter finally saw the clue in the report, and he said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, let's take a serious look at the country statistics of Hanhua fan exports, have you noticed some strange phenomena?" ”

Strange phenomenon? The reporters were really a little curious, and they carefully looked at the report in their hands, and gradually, more and more people found problems:

"$120 million in wind turbine components, sold to Uzan country...... What is this Usan country? ”

"It's like a country in Africa."

"Is the country rich? Why do you need to purchase so many wind turbine components, and it's not a complete machine. ”

"I seem to have heard of this country, it seems that last year, Hanhua built a branch factory there."

"What branch factory, is it a joint venture between Hanhua and Wusangguo, and the business seems to be fan assembly."

"I see......"

Smiles broke out on everyone's faces, and everyone felt that they had guessed the crux of the problem. The United States launched the anti-dumping and anti-dumping investigation, which is for China's fan industry, but if the wind turbine is sold to the United States from Africa, it will not be restricted by the anti-dumping investigation. Hanhua dismantled the wind turbine equipment into parts, shipped it to Africa to assemble the whole machine, and then sold it to the United States, although it cost some more freight, but it bypassed the US sanctions. No wonder Lin Zhenhua said conclusively that Hanhua did not sell fans to the United States at all.

This kind of trick belongs to the road one foot high, the magic is one foot high, and it is not the first time that a Chinese company has done such a thing.

In the past, in order to restrict clothing from China, the United States and Europe used to impose trade quotas, stipulating that China could only export clothing to Europe and the United States in a certain amount each year. As a result, Chinese garment companies set up branches in countries such as Vietnam and Bangladesh, and take domestically produced garments there to label them and sell them to the United States, so that the quotas of these countries are occupied, and have nothing to do with China's quotas. If China doesn't do business, it doesn't matter, and once you start doing business, your wisdom is absolutely invincible.

Of course, Hanhua's practice of circumventing the US anti-dumping investigation by setting up a factory in Wusang is not so simple. In the WTO's anti-dumping rules, there are some provisions on "origin". GCA must ensure that production in Usan is a "substantial change" to the product, in order to prove that Usan is the origin of the product, not an entrepot country. In addition, Hanhua also wants to make the price of wind turbines in Wusan lower than the price of exports to the United States, so that it is not a dumping.

Lin Zhenhua can't play with these complicated halls, and Hanhua now has a large team of lawyers to help deal with these things, and Schumann and Qian Yuanping are the leaders of this lawyer team.

The reporters left unsatisfied, and Song Ying, the chief reporter of Jiangnan Daily, stayed at the end, she took Bi Min's hand and asked, "Director Bi, we are old friends, can't you give me some inside information about Vestas?" ”…,

Bi Min smiled and said, "Sister Song, you can't let me make mistakes, the matter of Vestas is the core secret of the company, even if I know, I can't reveal it." ”

"This Mr. Lin, now that Guansheng's temper has risen, what important news is still hiding from me, it's really unjust." Song Ying said indignantly.

"Hehe, Reporter Song, what bad things do you say about me?" Lin Zhenhua turned out of nowhere and said to Song Ying with a smile.

Song Ying and Lin Zhenhua are old acquaintances. More than 20 years ago, she and Xu Haihao, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency in Jiangnan Province, went to Hanhua Machinery Factory to interview about Lin Zhenhua's encroachment on workers' housing, and thus became acquainted with Lin Zhenhua. In the years since, Song Ying has helped Lin Zhenhua a lot in publicity, so everyone's relationship is very good.

"How dare I say bad things about Mr. Lin, I just want to know if Hanhua has any intention of acquiring Vestas, so that we can prepare the relevant materials." Song Ying said with a humble smile. Lin Zhenhua is no longer the small section chief in the small factory back then, and Song Ying knows how to correct her position.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Reporter Song, about the information about the company Vestas, it is better for you to prepare it in advance. Although it is still the leader in the wind turbine industry, it has already lost a net of 175 million euros last year, and the first two months of this year are not good, and it is estimated that the annual loss will exceed last year. If this continues, it will not escape the fate of being acquired. ”

"Is Hanhua already planning to buy it?" Song Ying asked.

Lin Zhenhua smiled: "Everything is possible. However, GCA currently has other M&A targets, and it is difficult to say whether it will acquire Vestas. There are several domestic wind turbine companies that are also developing very well, and perhaps they have also taken a fancy to Vestas. ”

Song Ying asked, "Mr. Lin, can we publish what you said?" ”

Lin Zhenhua pretended to be innocent and said, "Reporter Song, did I say anything just now?" Didn't we just talk about the Yunmeng Lake Migratory Bird Sanctuary? My attitude towards Vestas is very clear: no comment. ”

"I see." Song Ying grinned, "Mr. Lin, you're using us again, shouldn't you invite me to dinner?" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
