Chapter 725 Coping with Changes (1)

Before Shen Guanglin's trip to Europe started, something happened in Europe.

In this era, the European Economic Community was just an economic organization in Europe. It was the predecessor of the European Union and was headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. However, the European Community in this era did not involve politics and only focused on the economic development of member states.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Huaxia has faced such a situation. He has no experience and doesn't know how to deal with it.

Since the reform and opening up, the country has given various supports to exports in order to increase foreign exchange earnings in recent years.

As a result, some enterprises, especially state-owned enterprises, do everything in their power to export, even selling their industrial products for cabbage prices, even if they would rather lose money, as long as there is foreign exchange, I dare to do anything Sell.

Based on this situation, Huaxia's products have left an impression on the world: as long as they come from China, they must be cheap.

Although Shen Guanglin's Great Wall Group has not lost money in foreign trade, but with the current low labor costs, the TV sets, clothing, and shoes they produce have begun to be dumped all over the world.

In particular, household appliances produced by the Great Wall Group are even very popular in Europe.

In the beginning, Great Wall Group’s electrical appliances were only sold in Eastern Europe. However, high-quality and cheap products will always be accepted by the world. Western society is not full of rich people. After seeing and experiencing Great Wall Group’s electrical appliances, they immediately Become addicted to it.

The tendency of human evolution is to move in the direction of becoming more and more "lazy". The design idea of ​​Great Wall Electric is to make people's operations as simple and convenient as possible.

Therefore, they integrated a large number of functions into one chip to simplify its operation process as much as possible.

Therefore, the washing machine they made can solve all problems such as laundry, soaking, rinsing, and drying with one click;
The TVs they make can also search for various channels with one click, and have a memory function, which conforms to the user's usage habits as much as possible;
The refrigerators they make are even more awesome. They are the first in the world to keep fresh at zero degrees. Have you ever seen water that freezes after shaking?

After all, the Great Wall Group supports so many college students who graduated from prestigious schools. If they are idle, they are idle. If they don’t develop new products and functions, why should they keep you?
However, as if overnight, everyone suddenly discovered: Is this still a backward Chinese company?
This has to shock the home appliance colleagues in Western Europe.

Originally, they thought that Huaxia's products must have no technological content.

As a result, regardless of workmanship, materials, technology, and functions, they are ahead of Western products in all aspects, but the price is much lower than them.

If things go on like this, how can they be so embarrassing, how can they compete?

Therefore, China's products are sanctioned, and Great Wall Group has a lot of strength.

In fact, Citigroup's performance in the past two years has been good. They have been staring at Fusang and West Germany every day, and have not focused on Huaxia.

Moreover, their relationship with Huaxia is still very close. They have just signed a package of military cooperation agreements, and they will be given most-favored-nation treatment every year.

The European Community is different. They are an economic organization and they are more independent, so they have less consideration for political factors.

Therefore, the dumping of some products in China has made it difficult for many similar companies in Europe to survive or even close down.

Based on this situation, they launched an anti-dumping investigation on Huaxia products.

After all, it is the 80s now, and the country has not been exposed to this kind of thing at this time, so I don't know how to deal with it for a while, so I can only ask Commissioner Shen to come over for consultation.

After all, Shen Guanglin is a person with an international perspective.

Especially now, Shen Guanglin is even more different. He is not only the chief scientist of the Great Wall Group, but also a newly appointed member of the academic department. It is appropriate and appropriate to ask member Shen for any questions.

It was the first time for Shen Guanglin to come to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, which is later known as the Ministry of Commerce.

The ministries and commissions of this era are just like that. They don't look mysterious and tall, but very frugal and lacking momentum.

Shen Guanglin thought he was there for something, but after hearing the whole story, he realized that it was the case, and he didn't care at all.

In the future, there will be more anti-dumping investigations and sanctions against China by the West, and everyone still has to learn how to deal with them.

Moreover, the impact of the sanctions on the Great Wall Group is not great. The only thing that the Great Wall Group really uses for import and export trade is clothing and shoes, and many of them are OEM.

As for those refrigerators, washing machines, and TVs, they are all produced by other import and export companies. The electrical appliances produced by the Great Wall Group are in short supply in China, and they have no plan to export them at all.

Seeing Shen Guanglin's determination, the leaders of the Ministry of Economics and Trade felt relieved, and asked humbly for advice: "Then how should we deal with it?
Shen Guanglin thought for a while, he had already been a staff member of the state for a few days, so he had to play a role, so he had three strategies.

"What's the best policy?"

"The best policy is to protest from the government, to declare the strong relationship, and to exert political pressure on them. Aren't we now quasi-allies with these countries? Our economic development is so poor, and there are only so few products that can be exported. If it is banned again, it is not a friend's work." Shen Guanglin gave such a suggestion.

The economic problem is not purely an economic problem, political factors also have a large component. Before Lao Maozi disintegrated, our international environment was quite good, so this is the quickest and most convenient way to solve this matter.

What about the middle policy?

The middle strategy is to actively respond to the lawsuit, form an international litigation team, and refute their reasons for sanctions one by one.In the West, at least on the surface, they respect the fairness and justice of the law. In fact, as long as they actively respond to the lawsuit, the possibility of winning the lawsuit is still very high.

What about the next move?

The next step is even simpler.There are policies above and countermeasures below, and the bottom line is to do entrepot trade and change the export location.

In the future, the export of these items will not be exported from the mainland ports, but go directly to Xiangjiang.

So simple?
"That's, it's that simple.

Moreover, if Xiangjiang’s business route still fails, then continue to go out. The Philippines, Fusang, Australia, and Singapore are all possible targets for entrepot trade. The big deal is to change the packaging. "

After Shen Guanglin's analysis, it really wasn't a big deal.

You must know that in the next few years, China's business environment will further deteriorate. If you prepare some measures and means earlier, you will not suffer a loss.

For this reason, the Great Wall Group has already started preparations. They have registered many companies in certain overseas islands. Cross-shareholding is to complicate the ownership structure and make the ownership of the company unclear.

Tax avoidance is only one aspect, while avoiding other risks is the more important consideration.

After talking about this matter, the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation continued to ask Shen Guanglin, "I heard that Professor Shen is going to the north to pan for gold?"

"Ah? Who spread the rumors? I just went to take a look. I think, I am a person with 8 US dollars for a lecture, do I still need to go to pan for gold?"

Shen Guanglin's $8 is indeed convincing enough, as long as it is taken out, it can immediately shut up most people or even shut them up.

"However, the report has come up, saying that Xishu Airlines wants to buy 4 civil aviation passenger planes, and a businessman surnamed Mou said that he is willing to use the light industrial products produced by the Great Wall Group to go to the north to buy them. There is a serious surplus of heavy industry, and there is a huge demand for light industry. products are extremely scarce.”

Hey, this old Mou!It's really a monkey spirit, Shen Guanglin just said that he wanted to go to the north to see, so he got involved?

Shen Guanglin hurriedly explained: the purchase of the plane has nothing to do with him, Mr. Mou, who indeed approached him, but Mr. Shen is not interested in making money, only interested in the development and introduction of high-tech.

"As expected, we know that Professor Shen is not so superficial. Since Professor Shen is going to the north and Eastern Europe, do we really have something to entrust to Professor Shen?"

"You say"

"Our brother department, that is, the Ministry of Ordnance Industry, wants some technology. It's not easy for them to come forward directly. Let's see if you have a way."
