Two thousand three hundred and ninety-four chapters dramatic changes
Mu Guoxing has been relatively leisurely these two days. Accompanied by Tong Dali, the Chinese Ambassador to Belgium, he met with several world-renowned economists living in Belgium in his private capacity, and conducted in-depth discussions with them on the current international economic situation and whether trade barriers should be adopted.
These famous economists were surprised to find that Mu Guoxing was not only knowledgeable in economics, but also knew many languages, and there were no communication barriers between them. Of course, their conversations were widely promoted by local media. In just a few days, Mu Guoxing's name was widely circulated in the EU economic circle.
In his spare time, Mu Guoxing would also watch performances at the famous local Mane Opera House and visit local schools, factories and hospitals many times. Mu Guoxing deeply conquered the people of Brussels with his personal charm, and at the same time he looked like he was fighting a protracted war with the EU.
At this time, the country is also closely cooperating with this financial dialogue. In addition to temporarily suspending the negotiations on sovereign debt purchases with some EU countries, the Chinese industrial and commercial and quality supervision departments have also investigated some well-known European brands, factories and specialty stores set up in China, and luxury goods produced and sold by some well-known European brands based on reports from the public. The evidence from the investigation shows that the products of these well-known European brands have some defects in quality. As a result, the punitive penalties imposed by the industrial and commercial and quality inspection departments on these manufacturers and specialty stores. Although the amount of the fine is not too large, the signal sent by anyone cannot ignore it.
Some European large enterprises can't sit still at this time. They know that if this continues, the factories they set up in China will face the risk of bankruptcy. Although these factories are produced according to EU standards, they should not forget that if manufacturers are located in China, they must obey the management of the local government and must abide by the laws of China. The people will not listen to the publicity of these manufacturers. What they believe is the reports of their own industrial and commercial and quality supervision departments. Because of this, the sales performance of several famous European consortiums in China has plummeted, and the largest number has reached more than 80.
This hit them seven inches and wanted to use the same means to retaliate. However, it is precisely because the EU has been implementing trade barrier policies in recent years, and the EU's labor and operating costs are too high, and Chinese companies do not have this condition at present, so they have not built factories in Europe to produce any luxury goods, and they have no goal to retaliate.
You should know that the EU is now in a serious economic crisis, and the profits of luxury goods are very high. Once their products in this area are blocked in China, it will undoubtedly make their economy worse, and the lives of these large conglomerates will be even more difficult.
After Mu Guoxing's work in many aspects, the public opinion of the news media was also very unfavorable to Ma Gesen at this time, and they accused him of being wrong with tough trade protectionism. In this case, large European consortiums put pressure on the EU through their countries or directly, and these pressures were eventually passed on to Ma Gesen, prompting dramatic changes in the subsequent financial talks. In another high-level talk, Mu Guoxing saw that Ma Gesen disappeared, and he was replaced by Brigden, another vice president and trade committee member of the EU. The explanation given by the other party was that Ma Gesen could no longer attend this high-level economic dialogue in Europe and China due to health reasons, and Mr. Brigden will fully exercise his powers.
Fang Liang and Peng Junming both realized that Mu Guoxing's strategy had played a role, and the EU was changing players at the last minute. The reason for health is nothing more than a diplomatic rhetoric. Under the dual pressure of public opinion and large consortiums, the EU, the arrogant behemoth, had to lower their always high heads. The current situation can be said to be extremely beneficial to China.
In his speech, Brigden changed Ma Gesen's strong attitude and talked endlessly to the Chinese delegation that global economic integration brings to various countries. He strongly advocated that after a trade dispute arises, he should negotiate and resolve it under the to framework, and did not agree with any country to implement one-sided trade protectionism.
In his speech, Brigden also vigorously praised the series of achievements made by China in reform and opening up, and pointed out that according to the theory of purchasing power average, China's GDP and economic strength have generally surpassed Japan, second only to the United States. China not only has huge foreign exchange reserves, but also has become a global new force and important market in industries such as telecommunications, transportation, energy and environmental protection. It has a strong sense of being praised if you don't fight.
During this high-level dialogue, Brigden also took the initiative to propose that it would delay the imposition of anti-dumping duties on Huaxia footwear products, suspend the anti-dumping investigation of Huaxia fastener products, and will actively support Chinese companies to enter the EU. When conditions are ripe, relax export restrictions on Huaxia's high-tech, and the EU will support China to become a country with full market position.
There is no good thing in the world that there is no pie falling from the sky. After Brigden threw out these baits, he also proposed that China hopes that China will increase its efforts to purchase debts of EU sovereign countries. At the same time, he also proposed that China hopes that China will relax foreign exchange controls, increase interest rates, and change its policy of exporting rare earths.
According to the bottom line set by the central government, the debts of European sovereign countries should be significantly increased compared to last year, which is also in line with the needs of national strategies. Now most of China's foreign exchange reserves are US dollars, and all eggs are placed in one basket is a very dangerous thing. Compared with the rogue country in the United States, the EU countries still pay more attention to national credibility. Mu Guoxing, on behalf of China, solemnly promised that the next step is to increase the purchase of debts of European sovereign countries and help European countries overcome the current economic crisis within their ability.
This is like a banker who has huge amounts of funds in his hands and wants to release them to earn interest rate spreads. No matter how much European debt is relatively insured, the interest rate is also very considerable. Since it can make money and be beneficial to our country's foreign trade exports, why not do it if you take out such a little money?
Regarding the issue of changing the export policy of rare earths, the central government means that it can appropriately increase by 5 to 10% on the basis of last year, but Mu Guoxing did not intend to do so. Rare earths are a very important strategic material and are non-renewable. Instead of exporting them to help these Western countries to display high-tech products, it is better to leave them to our descendants.
Mu Guoxing's rejection was also clever. His reason was that the whole world is paying attention to environmental protection now. As a major developing country, China should do better. The excessive mining of rare earths will bring serious environmental protection problems. Until this problem is solved, the current rare earth export policy will not change in any way.
Mu Guoxing finally proposed that he hoped that the EU would expand cooperation with China in high-end manufacturing, aerospace, innovation industries, financial services, energy conservation and environmental protection and other fields. He also pointed out that China does not have the issue of vertical and vertical exchange rates and control. The implication is that if the EU expands cooperation with China in the above five major areas, we will also consider the exchange rate issue appropriately.
This high-level financial dialogue is still very successful, and the two sides have made considerable progress in the negotiations, which shows that as long as it is based on equality and mutual benefit, all issues can be discussed and eventually a consensus can be reached.
After the talks, Brigden did not rush to leave the venue. He looked at Mu Guoxing's back and said to Rajit: "Mr. Rajit, I finally understand why Mr. Ma Gesson hits a nail. We must act carefully in front of this tough person. Any means of suppressing power will be of no use in him. If this person really takes control of the Chinese regime one day, it will not be a good thing for us in the EU."
Rajit didn't speak, but just nodded silently. The genius knew what he was thinking now?
