Chapter 70: The slightest

However, when people in Liushi were busy with construction, resource integration, and new large-scale low-voltage electrical production centers, Fan Wubing had already left Liushi and returned to Shanghai.

Because of some accident, Wu Zhi called the small machine and said that there was something wrong with the exported goods and was sealed off by the Shanghai Customs.

"What's the reason for this?!" Fan Wubing suddenly felt a little strange.

I am a regular enterprise in Panshi's glass factory. I have obtained a license for import and export trade. I am not an ordinary small enterprise. The things I produce are high-end items with quality and quantity without any flaws. There is no sensitive materials involved, so why is it sealed up?

Fan Wubing was puzzled, so he hurried to Shanghai and met with Wuzhi Xiaoji who had already arrived there.

When we arrived in Shanghai, Wuzhi's small jet was already waiting for Fan Wubing with a convoy.

"Hey, I didn't expect the car we booked had arrived." Fan Wubing couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw all the Audi cars.

Wuzhi's small machine came up, hugged Fan Wubing enthusiastically, and said to him, "Boss, all the 50 Audis we ordered this time were shipped. According to them, they still gave a discount, a car of 250,000 yuan."

Oh, Fan Wubing nodded. It seems that the current market conditions are generally priced at around 300,000 yuan, and 250,000 yuan per car, which is considered a discount.

Fan Wubing now has too many industries and executives, and there are as many as hundreds of foreigners who have returned to China with him. Although some are bodyguards, there are also many people in charge. Therefore, he ordered a batch of Audis from a German company for everyone to use.

This kind of car is pretty good, but the fuel consumption is a bit high, which is a common problem for German cars. However, compared to Russian cars, it is relatively fuel-efficient. When Russian cars burn fuel, they are simply tank-level.

When Wuzhi came over, he brought six Audi cars, two of which were used by himself and four were left in Shanghai for Fan Wubing to travel. Naturally, Fan Wubing's Mercedes-Benz also drove over. As for the other Audis, they had basically been divided up.

"This car is pretty good. You should know that a department-level cadre like my dad is just a Santana." Fan Wubing said to Wu Zhixiaoji.

The group drove to the hotel in the car. When the waiter saw that the good guy, the Mercedes-Benz was in the middle, with three taels of Audi in front and back. He thought that the leader had come down to inspect and immediately became respectful. After Fan Wubing walked out of the Mercedes-Benz, everyone shouted that they were fooled.

However, seeing Fan Wubing, a teenager, being sent to the hotel by many people, the waiters were also very curious. Although this is a foreign-related hotel and being used to seeing the nobles and nobles who are coming and going, it is still surprising that a Chinese boy checked in so high-profile.

After entering the guest room, Fan Wubing asked, "What's going on? Why are our goods detained?"

Wu Zhi Xiaoji said with some embarrassment, "I just don't know why, and the other party didn't respond, so I have no choice. You have to know that I am a little confused about the matter in mainland China, and my current identity is not allowed to seek help from the Japanese Embassy, ​​so I thought it would be safer to ask the boss, you, to come forward."

Since he became enemies with the Yasuda family, Wu Zhi was unable to take possession of Japan, so he went to mainland China and completely surrendered to Fan Wubing. Although he was relatively rich, he was just a little brother in front of Fan Wubing. In addition, he was in a foreign country and had no support from power, so he simply relied on Fan Wubing to develop intently.

But in this case, he would not have many connections to use, so if there was any problem at the customs office, Fan Wubing had to ask him to come forward to solve it.

After hearing Wu Zhi Xiaoji's words, Fan Wubing was silent for a while, and then said to him, "Don't worry, Xiaoji, you always want to return to Japan! And he is open and arrogant! What are the six major chaebols?! If you want to go back, the first thing you have to do is to accept their property!"

"Fan Sang, are you saying true?" Wu Zhi's little Ji was immediately excited when he heard Fan Wubing's words and couldn't help asking.

"When did I joke with you about such a big thing?" Fan Wubing asked back.

Wu Zhi nodded gratefully, stood up and bowed to Fan Wubing again, then sat down and said, "Where do we need to go and see it in person?"

"That's a must-see." Fan Wubing nodded and said.

After the two of them had eaten something, they took a bus to Shanghai Customs to learn about the reasons why the goods were blocked.

Shanghai Customs is also one of the oldest customs in China. In the 24th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government set up Jiang Customs in Shanghai, which has a history of more than 300 years. In the second year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jiang Customs was officially renamed Shanghai Customs of the People's Republic of China.

Shanghai Customs is the state’s entry and exit supervision and administration agency located at Shanghai ports. Its main task is to supervise the means of transportation, goods, luggage, postal items and other items entering and leaving the ports in accordance with the Customs Law of the People’s Republic of China and other relevant laws and regulations, impose customs duties and other taxes, investigate and arrest smuggling, prepare customs statistics and handle other customs business.

Currently, the location of Shanghai Customs is near Lujiazui, not too far from the hotel where Fan Wubing and others are.

However, it was obvious that their formation was not going well. After arriving at the customs, they explained their purpose to the office and were told that the leaders were not there and that the people under them could not make decisions.

"When will the leaders be here?" Fan Wubing asked angrily.

"The leaders are usually here, but you came here unexpectedly today." The staff member glanced at Fan Wubing, feeling that the other party was too young, so he replied expressionlessly.

"So, can you tell us why our goods were detained?" Fan Wubing asked again.

"We are not aware of this. You have to ask the relevant departments for this matter." The staff replied programmatically.

Relevant departments?! Fan Wubing sneered that the most difficult department to find in China is related departments! There are similarities with this, such as relevant personnel, and other statements. You will never find these departments and personnel in your life!

Since he couldn't find the leader here and couldn't ask about the staff, Fan Wubing had to use a killer weapon. He found a phone number in the customs and directly called Jiang Lue, the Minister of Security.

After answering the phone, Fan Wubing immediately asked, "Minister Jiang, do you a favor?"

When Jiang Lue heard that it was Fan Wubing's voice, he felt so awkward. He asked with a frown, "Mr. Fan, what's your name? My fragile heart can't stand you for making trouble again and again!"

Since Fan Wubing returned from the United States, Jiang Lue has been deeply troubled by it. Although the Ministry of Security has gained a lot of benefits from Fan Wubing, it has also caused a lot of trouble, especially the satellite stealing plan that I had done a few days ago. Although the Ministry of Security only assisted the military, Jiang Lue did not speak much, but he participated in the whole process and felt that this matter was so lingering. Although he was a little impressed by Fan Wubing, he was more afraid of it.

Fan Wubing is like a big trouble. Although he can make money, he can also cause trouble. There must be a large group of people surrounding him. Now, when Jiang Lue saw Fan Wubing, or heard Fan Wubing's voice, or even saw a written report about Fan Wubing, he couldn't help but jump around, which almost became a conditioned reflex.

When Fan Wubing heard Jiang Lue say this, he said unhappily, "Please help me, it's not a big deal, I'm still pushing you so much, as if I've asked you to do something without paying you!"

"Okay, okay, if you have something to do, please speak, I'll listen! I'll have to attend a meeting later, so you can hurry up and talk about it." Jiang Lue quickly interrupted Fan Wubing's words. He didn't want Fan Wubing to keep the 200 million US dollars aside and disgusted himself all day long.

So Fan Wubing told the matter from beginning to end, and then added, "Minister Jiang, how angry are you? I finally revitalized the Panshi Glass Factory, and now I have taken over foreign trade business. As a result, the goods are not allowed to be exported and sealed for no reason. Is it tolerable?"

"There must be some misunderstandings in this? Customs cannot be so unreasonable! Have you evaded taxes or have private goods contained in the goods?" Mr. Jiang Lue still had to refute a few words. After all, they are all state units, and a big boss, how could he let Fan Wubing slander them there?

"Private goods?!" Fan Wubing said angrily, "Do you think that with my wealth like this, I still need to bring private goods to make money? I'm not full!"

"Okay OK-" Jiang Lue quickly stopped and said, "I know you won't go smuggling. I'll ask you for a while. I'll contact you later!"

After hanging up the phone, Fan Wubing said to Wu Zhixiaoji, "Let's wait a while, and there's probably news later."

The work efficiency of the Security Department is very high. Not long after, the phone rang. A customs officer answered it and asked with a strange look, "Who is Fan Wubing? Take the phone call."

Fan Wubing answered the phone, "Hey? Minister Jiang?"

"Mr. Fan Wubing? I am Wei Liguo, deputy director of the General Administration of Customs." Jiang Lue's voice was not the opposite.

"Oh? Hello, Deputy Director of the Security Department!" Fan Wubing was stunned and asked involuntarily, "Why did Jiang Lue go where?"

When Wei Liguo heard Fan Wubing's tone, he called the Minister of the Ministry of Security as if he was greeting his little maid. He immediately respected him and said very politely, "Minister Jiang explained the situation to me. We have already understood your affairs Mr. Fan! In fact, this is how things look!"

Then Wei Liguo and Fan Wubing told the reason from beginning to end.

It turned out that the batch of goods from Panshi Glass Factory was originally to be exported to the United States, but now there are some problems in the trade relations between China and the United States.

Since September, China and the United States have begun a round of ministerial negotiations on textiles and intellectual property protection, and have not yet reached a deal to take it over.

For the United States, Chinese textiles are almost in a state of dumping because the cost of Chinese textiles is low. After combining the cost of raw materials and labor, the same type of textiles can be sold several or even dozens of times that of China. This has caused Chinese textiles to flood the US market. Most American families have made in china clothes in the wardrobes.

This has caused a great impact on the textile industry in the United States, so the American textile union has been making a fuss, and textile industry giants are also lobbying Congress and the president to pass an anti-dumping bill on Chinese textiles.

Since 1989, the trade relations between China and the United States, and between China and Western countries have been disturbed by political factors and have never recovered.

This time, the Sino-US trade negotiations caused by textile issues and intellectual property protection have been difficult from the beginning. Ministerial talks are often filled with smoke, and Wu Yi, then Minister of Foreign Trade, even slapped the table!

The focus of the debate between China and the United States is to determine China's intellectual property protection level in accordance with the standards of a United States or the common international standards, or the usual international practices. Should we consider the actual situation between China and the United States and gradually transition China's intellectual property protection to the level of developed countries, or whether we immediately reach the level of protection of developed countries regardless of China's national conditions.

Under the planning of some hostile forces, the US government threatened several times to suppress China's surrender by threatening the use of the special Article 301 investigation. The United States' demand for China is to be more open to the market, including the cultural market.

"The Sino-US trade negotiations held fierce discussions in Washington on protecting copyright and patents of American companies in China, and the two sides have almost reached the brink of a trade war. For months, China's textiles issue has sparked fierce debate. If the negotiations fail, Washington threatens to impose a 100% punitive tariff on the upcoming $1.5 billion worth of Chinese exports. Similarly, Beijing also threatens to take the same retaliation against American companies." Wei Liguo told Fan Wubing.

"What's up to me? I don't export textiles?" Although Fan Wubing felt that Americans were really shameless, he didn't understand why it was involved in him? I'm operating glass!

"Oh, why can't you explain it clearly?" Wei Liguo explained helplessly, "The cheap materials such as textiles will be rejected by Americans. Will they still release the luxury goods you produce? Therefore, your goods are also among the United States to be rejected from import!"

"Mom Xipi!" Fan Wubing cursed immediately after hearing this, and then asked in confusion, "Since there is no way to export it, why not tell us directly? At worst, it's possible to re-export other countries! What will everyone think if you detain goods quietly like this? Isn't it a bit wrong to do this?"

Wei Liguo said on the phone with some grievance, "We are also kind-hearted!"

So that's the case, because the negotiations in the United States are still continuing. Although the Americans have been using the 301 clause and are swearing to impose high tariffs on China, the big stick has been hanging high and has not fallen. They still want China to make some concessions. After all, once the special 301 clause is really implemented, it means that China and the United States have entered a protracted trade war.

Neither side wants to see this situation, so everyone still quarreled, eat, drink, and talked about things, hoping that the other party can make concessions before the deadline comes. In fact, the negotiations between major powers are also quarreling with couples between men and women. Everyone wants the other party to give in, but they don’t want both parties to be completely ruined. Once the two sides break completely, it will give the third party a chance to intervene!

At present, there is still about a week before the deadline for negotiations between the two sides. The customs has adopted a temporary freezing strategy for goods that have been declared, which is to see the final result of the negotiation. If the negotiation is completed, then everything will be the same. If the negotiations collapse, it will not be too late to notify the cargo owner to pull the goods back again.
Chapter completed!
