The entire question and answer session took about 30 minutes to complete.
No EU country was satisfied, but the press conference was broadcast live around the world. One can imagine the attitude of the Chinese government.
After seeing the press conference, the German female prime minister immediately called Premier Bian: "Mr. Prime Minister, I think you need to give me an explanation."
"Dear Prime Minister, this is a normal government department function. It is not for me to interfere... Don't you often say that human rights in China are greater than legal rights? Now we are correcting it!" Mr. Bian.
Li replied seriously.
The female Prime Minister was almost furious, and she put down her harsh words and said: "I think this will bring great obstacles to the business and trade between the two countries."
President Bian smiled and said: "Yes, so we think we should correct our attitude and take good care of the three joint ventures of Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. We can't let other foreign friends feel cold! We must treat everyone equally!"
The female president's heart beat violently.
Volkswagen of Germany has become the well-deserved leader of German automobiles, but more than 50% of their profits come from joint ventures in the Chinese market. Once the Chinese government gets stuck on this, then General Motors and Ford of the United States, Toyota of Japan, and
Honda, and even France's Peugeot and Citroën, will take the opportunity to seize the market that originally belonged to Volkswagen.
The most important thing in Germany is manufacturing. If Volkswagen loses money, I really don’t know if she, as Prime Minister, will be able to continue to take on the responsibility.
Thinking of this, she immediately softened: "Oh, Mr. Prime Minister, I think we have some misunderstandings... We can have a good talk..."
When he put down the phone, Mr. Bian had a smile on his face.
It’s so rare to hear soft words from the German Iron Lady. In recent years, the Germans have become more and more excessive in China. They promised to replace the market with technology. As a result, after all these years, the market has been given to them, but the technology is still closed.
It seems that Mavericks is right. To deal with these people, only if you are tough will they be able to give in. You can't negotiate anything just by blindly negotiating.
"Bang bang!"
There was a knock on the door, and the secretary had already knocked on the door and came in: "President, the executive meeting is about to start."
"I'll go right away..."
Before Premier Bian finished speaking, the phone rang again, but it was another staff member calling, telling him that the Spanish Prime Minister was waiting to speak to him.
Seeing several prime ministers calling one after another, Mr. Bian felt that he had better deal with it, and suddenly another thought flashed through his mind.
"Well, has Niuruzheng arrived?" he asked his secretary.
"Director Niu has arrived long ago."
"Okay, let Niu Ruzheng preside over this meeting!" President Bian said thoughtfully: "Bring me the minutes of the meeting later."
"Uh...yes!"
Following the Prime Minister's instructions, the secretary naturally had no right to question. He didn't even dare to ask more questions, quietly closed the door and ran away.
…
Ten minutes later, a group of ministerial-level leaders of the State Council looked at the empty chairperson's seat and then at Niu Ruzheng, who was sitting next to the chairperson's chair. They felt quite uncomfortable.
Although they all already know that without any big surprise, Niu Ruzheng will definitely be promoted to the position of deputy prime minister next year, but now Mr. Bian has asked Niu Ruzheng to preside over the executive meeting on his behalf, although it is only for one matter.
A regular meeting on matters, but isn’t this hint too obvious?
Niu Ruzheng did not think as much as they thought. He coughed lightly and said: "Now that everyone is here, let's get started... Many comrades do not understand the actions of the Ministry of Commerce in the past two days.
.Now everyone can raise questions, and we can explain them to them only after we have a clear debate here."
"Director Niu, I have a question." A deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology asked first: "I know that your countermeasures against the United States last time were very effective. It is also possible to do this to EU countries, but
Why provoke so many countries at once? If the pressure is too great, it will have a bad international impact."
Niu Ruzheng nodded: "Please ask Minister Li from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to answer."
Vice Minister Li, who is in charge of European affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was wearing reading glasses and holding the information and said: "According to our information, several major EU countries such as Britain, France, Germany and Spain are secretly promoting a new round of anti-counterfeiting investigations, including
Our small commodities, garment industry, lighting companies, etc. are in 12 large areas. So we are prepared to strike first and seize the opportunity first."
"How come so many industries are under anti-dumping and anti-counterfeiting investigations? What are the Europeans doing?" asked another deputy minister of the Ministry of Social Resources.
"Because the subprime mortgage crisis is imminent now, they want to divert attention by relying on anti-counterfeiting investigations. We in China are the best target in their eyes." Minister Li said calmly: "These information are from comrades in the European Department.
It is what we have worked hard for, and there is no mistake... Fortunately, it was Premier Bian and Director Niu who proposed this plan, otherwise if they launched the investigation first in two days, we would not have the advantage."
"That's true. These lazy guys who are so delicious and lazy put down their chopsticks and scolded us instead of using our high-quality and cheap products. It's really unkind!" The deputy minister nodded and said nothing.
"So, if we do this, will it trigger a fierce reaction from the EU? Will it be said that we are adding insult to injury? We will have a bad reputation!" Another minister of the Ministry of Commerce said with some worry.
Niu Ruzheng answered at this time: "When the EU wants to sanction us, has it considered our violent reaction?"
"this……"
"We should learn from them! Our national government is responsible to its own people. As long as it is beneficial to our enterprises and people, we should do it!" Niu Ruzheng said in a loud voice: "Through the last exchange with the United States
In the confrontation, I think as long as we respond appropriately, we can definitely avoid losses, or at least we cannot become victims of their diversion of attention."
The director of the General Administration of Customs smiled bitterly and said: "The total value of the products we export to them is not high. If they really fight us hard, the losses will not be a problem, but it will be quite disgusting!"
"Don't be afraid of this!" Niu Ruzheng said with a faint smile: "We don't export much, but we import a lot! If nothing else, even Airbus' orders within three years, our orders will exceed 10 billion US dollars, right? The subprime mortgage crisis
After the outbreak, they need to stimulate economic and trade exchanges even more. If we cause us to cancel orders, the unemployed people will definitely be in trouble!"
"hehe……"
A group of ministers laughed.
Of course, there are also people who are not in the same line as Niu Ruzheng.
People don't want to be bullied. It's really good to have someone with a strong personality to stand up to the wind and still be able to watch the show.
"One more thing." Niu Ruzheng said with a smile: "A falling out will not be good for us, but it will be even less good for them... These foreign officials are just politicians, and the real people's life and death have nothing to do with them, but those who can determine the number of electoral votes
But they are not the big companies that they can offend. In order to maintain their position, I think as long as we persist, they will not have the guts to fall out!"
"Director Niu is right!" A deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture agreed, "I don't believe they have the courage to risk everything!"
"That being said, we still have to be careful." Another Minister Liang from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sighed: "Their most powerful thing is their news offensive. If there is a new wave of public opinion attacks, it will be bad.
"
"We can definitely do what the United States did last time!" said the Vice Minister of Commerce: "Now that the Internet is so developed, we will work hard to break the news and let their people know this... The people of foreign countries cannot bear to be aggrieved the most.
They will protest against the government at every turn, and when they are exhausted, they will not have the heart to deal with us."
"Yeah, we can still..."
"This is not bad..."
Seeing the ministers offering their suggestions, Niu Ruzheng, who was sitting there, gradually felt a sense of relief in his heart.
As long as everyone works together and deals with those foreign politicians, it won't be a problem at all!
Enterprises in China have been bullied for too long, and they should vent their anger for them! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
