"The tilt must be tilted, but the range that can be tilted will be relatively limited, and you should be more considerate of this Zhenhua." Huang Gang replied.

"I totally understand." Lin Zhenhua hurriedly said, "Actually, Director Huang was able to reveal this news to us in advance, which has helped us a lot." As for how much of the final funds can fall on our heads, we will try our best to fight for it within a reasonable range, and we will definitely not make Director Huang embarrassed. ”

"Hehe, I don't have the authority to reveal this news to you in advance, you have to appreciate it, or lead the love." Huang Gang pointed to the ceiling. When it comes to who the above refers to, he has no obligation to explain to Lin Zhenhua, Lin Zhenhua has dealt with the director and several deputy directors of the National Development and Reform Commission, and it is very normal for people to give Hanhua some benefits openly and secretly.

"I naturally have the essentials of the above, but I also have to remember Director Huang's favors." Lin Zhenhua said with a grin, although he and Huang Gang have been friends for many years, but they have helped him, and he can't even say a well-behaved word.

Huang Gang waved his hand, signaling that Lin Zhenhua didn't have to say this, and he asked: "Zhenhua, the main purpose of your coming to the NDRC this time is not for the purpose of technological transformation funds, right?" ”

"Of course ......not," Lin Zhenhua blurted out, "I also came to you to know that there is such good news, I didn't plan to reach out to the NDRC to ask for money." ”

"Also, you Hanhua really don't lack money." Huang Gang said, "Several of your subsidiaries have been listed, and they have already reached more than 20 billion, right?" I'm afraid this money from the National Development and Reform Commission is really not worth your attention. ”

Lin Zhenhua hurriedly denied: "I didn't mean that. The money we scooped up from the stock market is going to be invested in the Moutong Railway, and we are already negotiating with the Bolivian side, and once the negotiations make progress, more than 20 billion yuan will really not be enough to throw into it. ”

"I know about it." Huang Gang nodded, how could the NDRC not know about such a large overseas investment? and even the specific negotiation process. The National Development and Reform Commission sent people to participate, but they were not from Huanggang's department. He frowned and said, "Zhenhua, I still think that there is a bit of a problem with your investment direction, and the return on iron demand is too low." At present, the price of iron stone in the international market is not high, and you have smashed tens of billions of dollars on such a project, which is really a failure. ”

"The failure or the victory will be seen in a few years." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, "No matter what, resources are always good things, and now there are fewer and fewer resources in the world." We grabbed it in advance, so we can leave something more for future generations. ”

What Lin Zhenhua saw was a sharp increase in the price of global iron demand stone a year later, but this was something that Huang Gang could not see. This is not to say that Huang Gang, the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, has a bad vision, but that the changes in the resource market are too drastic. The price of 71% within a year can not be foreseen before it happens, and even if it really happens, people in the industry can only say cutely: this is not scientific......

Huang Gang shook his head and said, "You are right, we are also engaged in a global strategy of resources now. In the general direction, there is nothing wrong with your investments. I mean, right now, European companies are stuck in your necks, and you're putting a lot of money into the demand industry at this time. The timing doesn't seem right. ”

Lin Zhenhua sneered: "Khedira's fame is not enough to trap our Hanhua. If they toss a few times, Hanhua changes the overall strategy, it will be too high to think of them. ”

Huang Gang said: "Zhenhua, this is what you said, if someone else says this, I guess I will think that he is arrogant." Okay, let's talk about it, what kind of help do you want the NDRC to give you? Lin Zhenhua said: "I came to the NDRC this time, but I came with a long list to ask for your help. I hope Director Huang will not be impatient. ”

Huang Gang smiled helplessly and said, "I'm impatient, I can only listen." To tell you the truth, we attach great importance to the joint blockade of the domestic equipment manufacturing industry by European enterprises, and the director has already spoken to do everything possible to support domestic equipment manufacturing enterprises. If you want money for money, and if you want policy for policy, you know, our director rarely speaks like this. ”

"It's no wonder that if we win this battle, no one will be able to stop us." Lin Zhenhua said, "Now the Americans are busy looking for Saddam, and it is estimated that they will not find time to contain us within three years." Japan has been in recession since the early 90s, and it is already dying. The one that can still compete with China is Europe. If we beat down the arrogance of European enterprises this time, the road ahead will be much easier. ”

Huang Gang said: "That's what our director means, you can tell me what you think, if it's too demanding, don't open your mouth." ”

"Don't worry, we're not that kind of people." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile. Speaking of business, he put away his previous ridicule and said: "First of all, we believe that this time the conflict between us and European companies is a conflict between countries, not between enterprises, so domestic enterprises should focus on national interests, and cannot make peace with European companies alone for the private interests of individual enterprises, so as not to be divided and disintegrated by others. ”

Lin Zhenhua said that there is a basis for this, and in the process of Chinese enterprises going global, it is not uncommon for foreigners to sit on the profits because of infighting. Over the years, Hanhua has been enthusiastic about organizing industrial alliances, also out of the idea of avoiding internal strife and uniting with the outside world, but there are many domestic enterprises, and not all of them are willing to cooperate with their own people. If you want to restrain the behavior of all enterprises, Hanhua's identity is not qualified, but the NDRC is more comfortable doing this kind of thing.

Huang Gang is also very familiar with the situation in the industry, and as soon as Lin Zhenhua raised this question, he understood what Lin Zhenhua meant. He crackled and tapped on the computer keyboard in front of him, recording Lin Zhenhua's request and his thoughts on this matter on the computer, and said to Lin Zhenhua while typing:

"It's a really important issue and we're going to try to coordinate it as much as we can. If you think this is good, we will first contact various industry associations, unify our thinking, and ask them to blow the whistle on member companies. In addition, on issues such as the allocation of funds for technological transformation, we will also put forward some requirements. If you want to scoop up money and policies from the NDRC, you have to listen to our arrangements. Otherwise, hum ......"

Huang Gang's last two sneers made Lin Zhenhua, who knew that he was out of the matter, feel a little cold. Don't look at Hanhua's prosperity in the industry, but when it comes to arguing with the National Development and Reform Commission. Lin Zhenhua really doesn't have this confidence. Huang Gang released such words, I believe that those domestic enterprises with a slightly larger scale will weigh and weigh, as long as they do not dismantle the stage in the back, everyone will unite as one, and there will be a few more chances of winning against European enterprises.

"Second, I hope that the state will come forward. Negotiate with the EU on the current trade friction issue. Of course, we also know that this kind of negotiation will eventually turn into a mutual bargain, but there is still a big difference between those who have negotiated and those who do not, and at least during the negotiation period, it is not convenient for the EU to introduce more trade protection measures. Lin Zhenhua continued.

"I don't need you to mention this, we've already thought about it. The Ministry of Commerce has collected a lot of materials and is about to go to court with the EU. Huang Gang said with a smile, "Now we are also a member of the WTO." Everything can be scooped up by the WTO rules. In addition, the economic and trade ties between us and the EU are inextricably linked, and we have mutual needs. They also don't dare to do whatever they want. Lin Zhenhua nodded, in fact, he also knew that the country has never compromised on matters involving foreign trade, and in the past, for the most favored nation treatment, he had to fight with the United States every year, and now with the status of a WTO member, he can use it even more vigorously.

China and the EU have both economic competition and cooperation, and this time it would not have been for the more than 20 largest equipment companies to jointly make demands to the EU, the EU would not have allowed them to wantonly make things difficult for China. Now that the Chinese government has stepped up to support its own companies, the EU will somewhat relent.

Doing business is about harmony and wealth. There is nothing wrong with this principle even if it is magnified at the national level, and no country in the world today dares to completely turn its face with other countries in economic and trade aspects. Think about the future generations when the United States hyped up the issue of the renminbi exchange rate, to the point that it was scooped out in the presidential election as a heavy weapon to hit its opponents, but when it really wanted to be a bill to sanction China, any president had to hesitate again and again.

There is another point that neither Huang Gang nor Lin Zhenhua will mention, that is, China and the EU have common economic interests. There is also a political common interest. The establishment of an EU by European countries in their own words is a conspiracy in the eyes of the United States, and this is clearly an attempt to compete with the United States and to disobey its jurisdiction.

Since the founding of the European Union, especially since the unification of the European currency into the euro, the United States has never given up its efforts to strangle the European Union and the euro. If the EU wants to continue to exist, it cannot do without China's help in the international community, and if it really forces China to the point of joining hands with the United States to engage in "basic two," the EU will be in suspense.

The most important thing is that the leaders of the EU are all politicians, which determines that the EU is an organization where political interests are paramount, and the interests of the following companies are themselves scooped and sold. It would be wishful thinking to expect the EU to offend its political partners in order to protect its own businesses.

The Chinese government understands very well that it can have a position in the international arena by relying on its economic strength, and without it, the European and American powers will not care what China says at all. You don't see India, which also has more than 1 billion people, is said to have the same system as Europe and the United States, but when it comes time for everyone to discuss something, who will take India's opinion to heart?

A country that has gained political status because of the rapid rise of its economy naturally attaches great importance to economic issues. This also determines that when Chinese companies are threatened, the government will definitely stand up and support them.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhenhua smiled and said: "Huang Gang, with your words, we can rest assured." As long as the EU is not strong, it will not be able to make much waves by relying on the dozens of European enterprises alone. The big deal is that we will temporarily withdraw from the high-end market, or pay them a high patent fee for a period of time, and they will at best survive and support for a few more days. ”

Huang Gang smiled and said, "Zhenhua, you just said that our domestic enterprises should unite with the outside world, have you ever thought about dividing the alliance of rivals in turn?" As far as we know, these more than 20 companies are also inseparable, and if we use both soft and hard measures, I am afraid that their alliance will not be long before it collapses. ”

"Of course we've thought about it." Lin Zhenhua said frankly, "We are also doing this thing. In fact, Giessen in Germany, for example, has always had a lot of dealings with us. Our group marketing director, He Fei, had a personal relationship with their vice president, Marko, and he planned to persuade Giessen to withdraw from the alliance through Marco. ”

"Does this Giessen company have a big impact on you?" Huang Gang asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "There is still some influence. Giessen is also a long-established machine tool company in Europe, with tens of thousands of machine tool patents in hand, of which more than 2,000 are currently used by our machine tool company, and can not find new solutions to bypass in the short term. At present, Giessen is only responding to ALK's call to increase the cost of patent licensing. We're worried that if it finds some excuse to ban us from using its patents, it will hit us hard. ”

Huang Gang smiled slightly and said, "So, Zhenhua, do you want to solve this problem once and for all?" ”

"What do you mean?" Lin Zhenhua's eyes lit up, he knew that Huang Gang was not a person who talked casually, and there must be a deep meaning in saying this.

Huang Gang said: "We have also heard about the patent of the machine tool owned by Jisen Company. Mr. Gu of Xingbei Heavy Machinery also reported to our National Development and Reform Commission, asking us to help coordinate this matter and prevent Jisen from taking extreme measures. It just so happened that the senior personnel of the Giessen company are currently in Beijing, intending to undertake some key equipment in the reconstruction project of China's railway network. We considered whether we could use this opportunity to force Giessen to win our order at the cost of machine tool patents. ”

"That's great!" Lin Zhenhua high-fived and said excitedly, "What we are most worried about is the more than 2,000 patents." We wanted to pay for a buyout, but Giessen had been hesitant, and if the NDRC could help us do that, then the Khedira's alliance would be broken. ”

"Well, next week we will have negotiations with Giessen, and you will send someone to attend then." Huang Gang said. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
