The years of red flags

"Pfft."

Someone couldn't help it and laughed slightly. The laughter was like a slap on Liu Anming's face, and he suddenly felt hot.

Jiang Hua leaned on the backrest and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not as important as your resume says. I have never seen the Minister of Commerce of Chou State, but I have seen the leader of Chu State since the 70s. Since the end of the period, I have met many officials from Chou Country, and they all have your liberal tone."

Liu Anmin felt like he had grabbed Jiang Hua's pigtails and said contemptuously: "Bragging."

The leader immediately explained to Jiang Hua: "Xiao Liu, Jiang Hua is really not bragging. In the early 70s, when he graduated from college, he entered the diplomatic service. Seventy-five years later, he was sent to work in Chou Country, so he It is true that he has met many leaders of the Ugly Kingdom. As for the last commander-in-chief of the Ugly Kingdom, he knew him. That is also true. When the commander-in-chief of the Ugly Kingdom was working in the capital, it was Jiang Hua who accompanied him on his tours. The Great Wall and the Forbidden City, and later Jiang Hua was specially invited to attend the appreciation dinner held before he became the commander-in-chief of the Chou Kingdom."

This time it was Liu Anming's turn to be stunned. Jiang Hua looked at his funny expression and said jokingly: "Does it feel like your worldview has been shattered? How could I, a rich man from the mainland, know the commander-in-chief of the Ugly Kingdom? What? This is illogical."

Liu Anmin actually nodded subconsciously, and the others couldn't hold it in any longer and started laughing.

Liu Anmin's face turned red instantly. He stood up angrily and was about to leave. The leader said in a deep voice, "Sit down. We asked him to do business."

"Leader, you just heard that he insulted me."

The leader said displeasedly: "Why didn't he insult me? Respect is mutual. Only if you respect him can he respect you."

Jiang Hua shook his head and said: "Even though you have studied in Chou Country and even done errands for Chou Country's Ministry of Commerce, you still don't understand Chou Country. Freedom is just one of their methods, a means to disintegrate others. As for Chou Country, Free trade is even more nonsense, and they spare no effort to protect their own industry."

The leader picked up the notebook and asked: "Then tell me why Ugly Country doesn't have free trade?"

Jiang Hua nodded: "Before Xiaodongyang's Plaza Accord, due to exchange rate issues, the cost of their products was relatively low at that time, and they could use their price advantage to dump their electronic products to Chou Country. This is of course what Chou Country does not want to see, because This will greatly impact the country’s semiconductor companies and lead to the outflow of dollars, so they forced the yen to appreciate through the Plaza Accord, increasing their costs and causing Xiaodongyang’s products to lose their price advantage.”

Liu Anming ignored it and said with a sneer: "So, look at whether other ugly countries have used such radical methods to resist free trade as you have. They also called on people to start a war to defend the national manufacturing industry and engage in a head-on confrontation. It is simply reckless. Husband’s act.”

"Who told you they didn't have a head-on confrontation?"

The leader frowned: "Then can you tell us in detail how Ugly State Enterprises confront each other head-on?"

Jiang Hua smiled: "Leader, you should know this very well. How did CITIC Semiconductor rise? I do a lot of OEM work for U.S. companies to help them save costs and compete with Xiaodongyang in the market. CITIC Semiconductor is Have you started making profits?"

"Oh, so that's what happened." Jiang Hua said mockingly: "These are just head-on confrontations between enterprises, and the government is helping. If you talk about business with Chou Country now, we can help you produce military boots, and the price is very cheap. , and the quality is reliable, do you think Chou Country will agree?"

"This is related to national security. Can it be simply compared with free trade?"

Regarding such double-standard remarks, Jiang Hua really didn't want to give him a good look, so he said with a sullen face: "A mere military boot can be related to national security, so doesn't our entire national manufacturing industry have anything to do with national security?"

The leader nodded: "National manufacturing industry is closely related to national defense and security and cannot be ignored."

This sentence was the final word, but the leader continued: "However, Xiao Liu's words are also reasonable. If we start a defense war here, it will indeed add a lot of difficulties to our accession to the WTO. After all, we know it very well. It is clear that the so-called principles of the WTO are the embodiment of the will of Western countries."

"That's right." Liu Anmin hurriedly climbed up the pole and said, "I'm not wrong. Things that are already extremely difficult will add so many troubles. Then we don't know when we can join the WTO."

"There is no contradiction between joining the WTO and defending the national manufacturing industry." Jiang Hua said seriously: "If the national manufacturing industry is completely wiped out, then what is the point of joining the WTO?"

Except for Liu Anmin, the other leaders present at the meeting nodded and agreed with Jiang Hua's words.

"Leader, this is what I think. It will take two to three years to stabilize the fundamentals of our national manufacturing industry. Only when they have a certain degree of resistance can they join the WTO. And I have determined that we will join the WTO. Organization is not a matter of one or two years.”

The leader glanced at Jiang Hua and asked seriously: "Why do you think so? Where did you draw this conclusion?"

"The WTO currently has 140 member states. If we want to join it, not only negotiate with all countries, but at least one-third. Some countries have a single economic type, which is easier to negotiate. Countries like Chouguo, Xiaodong, and Europe have large economies and wide coverage, so it cannot be decided in one or two negotiations. I will make a minimum estimate that we can reach an agreement with all countries in five years. Consider us lucky.”

The leader looked for his glasses and nodded: "That's right. Five years is already a very short time, in my estimation. Negotiations with Chou Country won't be possible even in three or four years."

"In these three or four years, we will be able to stabilize the fundamentals of the national manufacturing industry. In the defense war against the invasion of foreign capital, we can enable the national manufacturing industry to accumulate experience in commercial wars. By then, we will fully open the door to the country, that is, I won’t be as helpless as I am now.”

This statement was agreed by everyone, including Liu Anmin. He had worked as a clerk in the Ministry of Commerce of the Ugly Country, and he still had basic knowledge. If his butt was crooked, then he definitely did not want the national manufacturing industry to accumulate such experience. But I have to admit that Jiang Hua's statement is correct.

The leader then took out a page from his notebook: "Now let's talk about the trouble you caused me."
