It is another year of spring and flowers, and the 2004 Frankfurt International Industrial Equipment Exhibition is coming as scheduled

Khedira sat in a café in the corner of the exhibition hall and looked at the exhibitors of various manufacturers

For many years, the protagonists of the Frankfurt Equipment Exhibition have always been European manufacturers, the United States, Japan's enterprises are slightly less limelight, and they are an important supporting role in the exhibition, while manufacturers from developing countries such as China, Brazil, and India can only be regarded as a trick in this kind of exhibition, and are casually named as a passer-by A and passer-by B

I don't know when the number of manufacturers in developing countries began to gradually increase, especially the number of Chinese manufacturers is 50% per year. The above speed is growing, when the Chinese pavilion first came to Frankfurt, it was the national exhibitors who jointly chartered a booth, and now they have chartered two exhibition halls, which is not enough, in the large square in front of the exhibition hall, almost every advertisement and every color flag can see Chinese characters, even if it is not a Chinese manufacturer, the promotional materials must be added to the Chinese content in addition to English and German, for fear that they will miss the attention of that huge empire

Just now, there were four or five Chinese who walked in front of Khedira, and only two high-nosed Europeans, is there any mistake about whose home field this is?

These damn yellow people, sooner or later, they are going to turn the Frankfurt fair into a Chinese show, and Khedira curses quietly

Hi Khedira, why are you sitting here, someone came over and said hello to Khedira

Khedira looked up and recognized the other party as Julien, vice president of the French Ladur industrial group, who was also a person who attended the Saint-Tropez conference last year, and was one of the more active in participating in the suppression of Chinese companies

Julian sat down for a cup of coffee, and Khedira gestured to the seat across from him, and said to Julian

Julian hesitated for a moment and finally sat down: I still have to go to the exhibition...... Okay, let's have a drink

The waiter brought Julian a cup of coffee, and Julian asked as he stirred the coffee with a spoon, "What are you looking at here just now, I seem to have heard you say something to yourself."

Khedira said: Julian, don't you think the number of companies in Europe is a bit small this year?

Is it Julian stunned for a moment, he turned his head to look at the entire exhibition hall, nodded thoughtfully, and said: It seems to be a little less

This is not the first year that this situation has been counted, there were three fewer last year, four fewer last year, and three fewer this year...... For example, our old friend, the Italian company Anne, did not come to the exhibition this year, Khedira said

Anne Company, Julian said, I know a little bit about their situation, it seems that the financial situation is not very optimistic, and they are already filing for bankruptcy protection, alas, but alas...... They've always done a really good job with gear

Do you know who it was crushed by, Khedira asked

Julian shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know much about it, not everyone was as global as Khedira, and Julian was more concerned about his own business

Khedira pointed to a small bunting hanging not far away, on which was printed a gear with a missing horn, which Julian knew was the logo of a Chinese gear company, and the same logo was cast on all the gears produced by the company

Khedira said: It is the China Maoqiao Gear Company, the gears produced by this company are more than half cheaper than those of Onny, and they have robbed all of Onny's old customers, and I heard that its president is a Chinese farmer

Julian, a farmer, asked in surprise how a farmer could make a gear company that large

Yes, it was this farmer who had crushed the Oni company, Khedira said

It's hard to imagine, Julian shook his head lightly and said, the president of Anne's company, he also knows it, but he is a doctor who graduated from a famous European university, and his conversation is extraordinary and gentle, but he didn't know that he was planted in the hands of a Chinese farmer...,

I have long said that the Chinese are the most aggressive, but unfortunately our short-sighted European counterparts have not seen this, if everyone can collectively resist the gear produced by the Chinese, then the company will not fall to the point where it is today, Khedira said bitterly

Belch...... Julian was speechless, in his impression, some of the gears used by the Radur Group seem to be imported from China, and the quantity is very much, so he is also included in the short-sighted scope of Khedira, but can he blame his European counterparts for this matter, the price of the gears of the Oni company is much more expensive than that of the Chinese, and the payment of loans is not as timely as the Chinese companies on the other side of the mainland, shouldn't everyone choose more affordable accessories?

Khedira: That's why you're organizing a collective boycott of China," Julian asked, digressing the subject

Khedira said: Collective boycott hum, if everyone can collectively boycott it would be good, you see that there are more than a dozen Chinese companies participating in the equipment exhibition this year, and our suppression of them has not played any role at all, and the reason is that we are too disunited internally

Julian sighed and said: Khedira, with all due respect, the strategy you put forward to suppress China cannot be realized at all, do you know that we have restricted the export of oil-impregnated high-speed bearings to China's machine tool enterprises according to the agreement, and as a result, the Chinese themselves made the same bearings, turned around and robbed our market, I have long said that the potential of the Chinese is very large, and we put pressure on them, but instead push them to do better

No, no, no, it's not because we suppressed them, but precisely because we didn't carry out comprehensive suppression, some people defected, so that the Chinese could free up their hands to concentrate on solving those problems that they couldn't solve, I mean, do you understand, Khedira asked

Of course I understand you're referring to Marko, the damned German guy Julian, scolding viciously

Speaking of Marco Julian is angry, it turns out that the Giessen company is with everyone to boycott the Chinese together, who knows that the ink on the agreement has not dried, Marco ran to China, signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Hanhua, and also participated in each other's shares, making a model, relying on this dry relationship with Hanhua, Giessen company won a large order of railway equipment from the Chinese government, and made a lot of money under the general poor performance of European companies

Just now, when Julian walked through the exhibition hall, he also saw the booth of Giessen, the scale of the booth was obviously much larger than that of other companies, and the decoration was more atmospheric, and the most eye-catching position on the back panel of the Giessen booth was a photo of Giessen President Lutz and Hanhua Chairman Lin Zhenhua shaking hands cordially, as if they were afraid that people would not know that they were eye-to-eye with the Chinese

Julian, an opportunistic company like this, could calm his grievances without scolding a few words, and the only thing he ignored was that Khedira was also a German

Hearing Julian fire the map cannon and scold the Germans, Khedira smiled coldly and said: Julian, you are mistaken, Marco is not of authentic German blood, his grandmother is French, and it is well known that the French like to surrender the most

What do you mean by this, Khedira, Julian's face is purple with anger, don't hit people in the face, the French have surrendered a few times, but they have not been bullied by you Germans, besides, what's wrong with surrendering, by the way, you Germans have also surrendered

Europe has been degraded by some soft-boned countries, if the Führer had not been defeated...... Khedira said everything in his heart in a hurry, although the Führer was a war criminal under the law in Germany, there were still many people who admired him very much, and Khedira was also one of them

Julian's eyes flickered: Khedira, I remind you that this is Nazi speech, which is illegal in your country

What I'm talking about is just a fact, Khedira retorted..., Julian said angrily: Hell, the reality is that you ALK are trying to contact everyone to boycott China because you can't enter the Chinese market, and I knew that you were a Nazi, and I wouldn't have formed an alliance with you under any circumstances

I'm not a Nazi, you repeat I'm a Nazi, I'm going to break you, and the eyes of Khedira, who has a collapsed nose, stand up

Julian looked at Khedira and asked himself, if he fought, he would not be Khedira's opponent, so he stood up and said: I'm sorry, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, my biggest mistake in my life is knowing you, and listening to your nonsense, participating in what sanctions against China

Khedira said: "One day you will find that what you are saying now is the biggest mistake of your life, we are defending Europe, and you are sneering at it, and Europe will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later

Julian sneered: Okay, you ALK go and defend Europe yourself, I don't want to accompany you

Watching Julian leave in a huff, Khedira laughed self-deprecatingly, took a sip of coffee in his hand, and then took out a mobile phone from his pocket, dialed a number, and said to it:

Hey El, please help me make an appointment with the EU official in charge of trade, I want to ...... By the way, it should be Siat, you tell him that I have something I want to talk to him about

Putting away his phone, Khedira put a bill on the table as the cost of coffee, and then walked towards the ALK booth, a wave of sadness welled up in his heart

Okay, just let me defend Europe alone (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to come (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation)
