Facts have proved that at least the Europeans in the 90s, when it comes to life and death, can still play a little efficient.

Within a few days, the news that the European Space Group was preparing to modify its itinerary and visit ahead of schedule reached Huaxia.

At this time, Chang Haonan had basically finished the affairs of the capital, and was preparing to leave for Jiangcheng to ensure the construction of the last stage of the heavy-duty die forging press.

As a result, not long after asking Zhu Yadan to report the trip, he received a call from Ding Gaoheng.

"Xiao Chang, I just received a notice from above that the European Space Group is going to send a delegation to China in two days to discuss with us the topics of aviation industry cooperation."

After the phone was connected, the other party got straight to the point.

"Of course that's fine......"

An international affairs assistant handed the report to several other people sitting on three rows of sofas on the other side of the office.

It is no exaggeration to say that the negative impact of the fall from 1:1.1800 to 1.0210 may not be as big as the fall from 1.0210 to 0.9990 -

"So we can't let Huaxia openly support the euro."

Although he has not yet talked about it to outsiders, he has decided to resign this year, hand over the position of treasurer to his student Lawrence Henry Summers, and go to the company as an executive.

"We have specialized intelligence access in Europe, and the accuracy is not in question."

Chang Haonan almost blurted out.

Therefore, immediately after he finished speaking, several people expressed their unequivocal support.

Albright, who sat across from Rubin, was categorical:

"At least not for a short time."

Including the NSK bearing incident, which induced the collapse of Japanese companies' reputation last year, it also took advantage of the other party's European Helicopter company.

"Of course, the industrial park will go, but this time the delegation on the opposite side is very large, and the visit time is relatively long."

A Huaxia who joined the WTO was beneficial and harmless to his later career.

Rubin felt his head swell when he heard the mad woman's speech, and quickly interrupted the other party:

Even if he sits at the other party's meeting and writes a memo, it is nothing more than that.

A rational assumption is only a hypothesis after all.

What if they are preparing for trouble?

After circulating it from beginning to end, the man sitting behind the desk spoke:

"More importantly, I personally believe that if the Chinese side against the euro, then we will probably not be able to hit the euro against the dollar below 1 in a short period of time."

"WTO negotiations?"

He wants to use the weakness of the euro as a bargaining chip in exchange for a wider range of industrial transfer, and the other side also wants to use his advantages in the aviation industry in exchange for Huaxia's support for the euro.

So he hastened to stop Albright's crazy thoughts:

"We have to pay attention to strategy, and now that the Chinese side has not started talking to the Europeans, we can't push them to come together, on the contrary, if we give some sweetness, maybe we can divide them......

"Are you going to go to the aviation industrial park we plan to build in Luzhou?"

On the contrary, the fact that the EU will ask Huaxia for help is basically a clear card, which is not a surprise for professionals.

"How can I stop them?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the information that the intelligence department has just intercepted in recent days, and the Europeans should be about to be overwhelmed and ready to ask for help from the Chinese side."

It belongs to Wang Ba and looks at the mung beans - right eyes.

So his first feeling was even—

Rubin still felt a bit outrageous, but the leaders said so, and he couldn't ask anything more, so he had to continue to answer the question just now:

"Although China's economy is now only the seventh largest in the world, not as good as Italy, its growth rate is fast and the market potential is large enough, and its influence on the global economy is far more than the seventh in the world."

Chang Haonan, who heard the news at first glance, was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this European space group was the later Airbus Group.

It should be admitted that the idea of the Europeans, is good.

Even before Chang Haonan got the news and speculated about the purpose of the EU's trip, a detailed and straightforward report had been sent to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Not that the report is incredible.

Questions came from behind the desk again.

With that, he put the cigar in his hand on the metal holder next to him and looked up at the sofa:

"Bob, how much do you think it will affect the situation if the Chinese side agrees to the EU's conditions?"

But halfway through the conversation, he suddenly realized that at this rather sensitive point in time, the Europeans probably had the same idea as he just now-

As for why he tossed around like this, he obviously remembered the role of hiding people's eyes.

Considering that this industrial park has been planned from the beginning, it has been clearly said that it is a supporting tool for the European aviation industry, and now that the foundation has been laid, how to develop in the future must be discussed by both parties.

It's an old friend in a sense.

After all, it is a project personally supervised by the highest level, and Anhui Province itself is also a relatively well-developed area, so there is definitely no need to say about efficiency.

Rubin himself also hoped that China would join the world trade system as soon as possible.

As a result, the other party waved his hand directly:

It wasn't until he heard his name called (Bob was Robert's nickname) that he woke up suddenly, but instead of answering the other person's question right away, he cautiously confirmed:

Originally, the first phase of the project would only hand over some parts that were not too involved in the core of the aircraft to Huaxia suppliers for production.

Therefore, everyone invariably focused on the key exchange rate point of 1:1.

The site of the industrial park was determined in October 97, and it has been almost a year and a half now, and if the progress is calculated, the preliminary work such as various land planning, policy support and infrastructure should almost come to an end.

"The accuracy of this information ......"

Ding Gaoheng on the other end of the phone replied:

"In addition to Luzhou, the other party also applied for a trip to several other places, such as the Bingcheng Helicopter Group, and the newly built aviation weather simulation wind tunnel in Fucheng."

Inside the Oval Office.

"At the moment the EU has basically taken all their countermeasures, and the exchange rate of the euro against the dollar this morning remained at 1.0210, if China really uses the euro in all or most of its trade with Europe, I think ...... It can be offset or even reverse the downward trend of the euro in at least 2-3 months. ”

Market confidence is such a thing, it never talks about rationality.

On the other hand, Treasury Secretary Robert Edward Rubin has not even recovered from the report he has just read.

For Rubin, the content of the document just now is so detailed and substantiated that it does not feel like a piece of "intelligence".

"Moreover, China's accession to the WTO is also beneficial to us."

"Although these things have their own main units, they were basically promoted by you at the beginning, so when negotiating later, you still have to refer to your opinions, especially in the industrial park, many details still need to be confirmed."

Connecting Huaxia's aviation industry with the global aviation industry is something that Chang Haonan has been laying out since two years ago, so he almost subconsciously agreed.

Albright was a staunch supporter and promoter of Allied action, and the first thing that came to mind was the straightforward approach:

"If they are on the side of Europe...... I'm afraid it's hard to solve the problem simply."

This can't be fake, right?

At most, I didn't expect the former to be so stubborn, and it took less than half a month to bear it......

What really shocked him was the report itself.

……

For the few people here today, they have been laying out for so long, and it is naturally impossible to give up easily.

If the euro does fall below 1, the damage to credibility will be irreversible, even if it recovers later.

"Their specific plans, as well as the conditions and bottom line, have all been seen by everyone just now."

Rubin's prestige among the donkey party was considerable.

In the first few cases, the other people still maintained their expressions, but when Rubin said the last item, the atmosphere in the office changed almost instantly.

If the cooperation with Europe he has promoted in the past two years is calculated according to the output value, about seventy percent is related to this company.

But in today's context, there is clearly room for negotiation.

However, at the implementation level, there is indeed room for improvement.

After all, in the battle of wits and courage with the KGB in the past few decades, similar scripts are not uncommon.

"But what if the white rabbit doesn't eat our carrots?"

Albright said something slightly joking, but there was no joke in his tone.
