China began negotiations to restore the status of GATT parties in the mid-1980s, but the GATT ended in the mid-1990s and the negotiations did not bear fruit.Subsequently, China moved to the so-called "accession negotiations", that is, negotiations to apply for accession to the World Trade Organization, and officially joined the WTO on December 11, 2001, which is what people call the WTO every day.

For the matter of accession to the WTO, the Chinese authorities are actually quite a bit of a thorny.Joining the WTO will greatly reduce the obstacles to China's commodity exports, and will undoubtedly greatly promote the booming labor-intensive industries.But at the same time, the WTO accession commitment also makes China's relatively childish equipment manufacturing industry, the financial industry and other facing foreign competitive pressure, a little attention may collapse, and ultimately make China can only rely on low-end industries to survive the failure of the country.The word "Latin Americanization" has long been the sword of China's Damocles, and it has also become a idiom that must be hung on when people curse China.

However, if you stand from the perspective of a traverser, you will find that the worries of the year are actually superfluous.In the past 20 years, China's equipment manufacturing industry has not only failed to defeat the army under the impact of foreign counterparts, but has become more and more courageous in the fierce competition, and many fields have rushed to the forefront of the world, so that the great leaders on the other side of the ocean heard that the number of "2025" can't be heard at night, and they have made every effort to get China to abolish this 2025 plan, of course, this is the aftert.

Wang Weilong is not a traversal, but he always has some trust in Feng Xiaochen's prediction.He nodded and said, "Xiao Feng, over the years, you have been urging us to accelerate the absorption of imported technology, and forced us to invest the hard-earned money into the development of new technologies."Seriously, there are a lot of people in the factory leaders and middle-level cadres who say you three or four, but look back now at those peers who are on the verge of bankruptcy because of the lack of core technology, and then think about the bad environment after joining the WTO, everyone can't help but boast that you have a vision.

“Man has no forethought, he shall have near sorrow, and this word shall never be over time.”Feng Xiaochen said, "such as Luo Ye, the past days have lived a very moist period, but it is based on the protection of the state, now engaged in the market economy, the future we have to join the WTO, on the one hand, private enterprises to squeeze your space, on the other hand is foreign large companies to occupy your market, you do not practice internal strength, the end is predictable."

"That's right, that's right."Wang Weilong joined in, and then remembered the work of his trip, said: "Yes, Xiao Feng, I come this time, I want to invite you to go with me to the country of Gabe, we made the second batch of dump trucks made for the Pete Seger iron ore, is about to be shipped to the Pete Seag iron ore, the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Gabe intends to engage in a reception ceremony, the time is about the 10th of next month, mainly to celebrate the success of the two sides."Our factory party committee met to discuss, feel that if you can ask Feng to attend this ceremony, it will be a great honor for Luo Ye.No, I was sent by the Party Committee of the factory to send you an invitation, I don't know if Feng can always take the time to go to Africa in the busy."

“Going to Africa for a pick-up ceremony?”Feng Xiaochen, then looked at Wang Weilong with suspicious eyes and asked, “Old Wang, you have other words that you haven’t said?”

Pitsig Iron ore is a joint venture between China and Gabe, and the Chinese funding is to provide various mining equipment, including Luo metal's dump truck, forest heavy excavator and other mining equipment provided by some other enterprises.The equipment was purchased from domestic steel mills, which also became shareholders of the Pitsig Iron ore by providing them.

After the first batch of equipment provided by the Chinese side arrived at the mine and put into use, the production capacity of the mine has been greatly improved, and most of the iron ore produced has been shipped to China, replaced by various industrial equipment and consumer goods produced by China, which has promoted the industrialization of the country and also improved the living standards of the people of the country.It can be said that this is a win-win cooperation.

The Gabe government tasted the sweetness and decided to increase cooperation with China, and the second batch of dump trucks of Luo Ye was shipped to Gabe in this context.Wang Weilong said that the reception device ceremony is not only to celebrate the arrival of these equipment, but more importantly, to announce the further cooperation between the country and China in the development of iron ore.Feng Xiaochen had long known about it, but because things were too far away from him, he did not think of attending the ceremony.

For Luo Ye, just because a pick-up ceremony invites Feng Xiaochen to fly tens of thousands of kilometers to Africa, it is indeed a big deal.Considering Feng Xiaochen's current position, Luo Ye put forward such a request and even can be said to be more Menglang.Wang Weilong and Luo Yee, a factory leader, are the officialdom veterans after the founding of the country, how can such a mistake be made?It is clear that the purpose of their invitation to Feng Xiaochen to Africa is not only this, but other reasons.

Listening to Feng Xiaochen's words, Wang Weilong smiled awkwardly, and he said, "I know that everything can't be hidden from your Feng's eyes."Frankly speaking, this pick-up ceremony, at our strong request, the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Kabei will invite industry officials and mining company executives from more than a dozen countries around the world to observe, and we and Lin Jun have the idea that they intend to develop more customers at this ceremony.However, I discussed with Lin Heavy old Liu, we agreed that only if you asked General Feng to sit in the town, we have the strength to convince other customers.Today I am here to send you an invitation, if I am not mistaken, by tomorrow, Liu Wang and even Shen Jinbao will come to you."

He said that Liu Wang is the deputy director of Linbei Heavy Machinery, and also led the team to the Munich Construction Machinery Exhibition two years ago.As for Shen Jinbao, he is the first hand of Lin Bao, and he is also very familiar with Feng Xiaochen.Although the equipment industry company and Luo metallurgy, forest heavy and other state-owned large-scale equipment enterprises are the same level, but we still default to the equipment company is the superior unit of each enterprise, in the case of trouble, please ask the equipment company to come forward to solve.Of course, the Economic and Trade Commission originally established the equipment company, itself is to take over the responsibility of the re-installation office, so the equipment company does have a coordination, organization of major equipment research and development authorization, equipment companies to help companies run errands, is also the responsibility.

Knowing the true purpose of Luo Ye, Feng Xiaochen laughed humbly.He got up and pressed the bell button on the table, and the secretary who had just shied away came in.Feng Xiaochen asked Meng Yang: "Little Meng, you help me see what arrangements are made before and after the 10th of next month, if it is not important, I may want to go with Wang to Africa, before and after the estimate..."

“At most a week.”Wang Weilong quickly announced.

Feng Xiaochen looked at Wang Weilong and pretended to be unhappy: "I have not been able to go to Africa, is it just for you to stand?"Don’t you want to go to visit relatives and friends and swim in the mountains?”

“Well, then I can’t.”Wang Weilong said sadly.

Feng Xiaochen then continued to Mengyang: "Time is estimated to be about half a month, you can find a way to arrange it."

He promised to go back to his small office to arrange the schedule.Feng Xiaochen and Wang Weilong are friends for many years, and the things they meet and talk about are often public and private, so every time Wang Weilong comes, Meng Yang generally chooses to avoid it, only when Feng Xiaochen calls him.

Seeing Meng Yang leave, Wang Weilong turned his head and smiled and asked Feng Xiaochen, “Little Feng, you really want to visit relatives and friends in Africa, do you have a lot of acquaintances over there?”

Feng Xiaochen said, “My uncle is working in Africa, don’t you know?”

“Is there such a thing?”Wang Weilong looked very curious, thought about it, and said, "Well, it seems to have heard of this matter, but the details are not very well understood."

“I don’t know much either.He is a military-industrial system, and his work there is also a military secret, which I have never been able to ask."Feng Xiaochen perfunctory.In fact, Feng Fei's specific work in Africa, Feng Xiaochen is aware, but this kind of thing does not need to be said to outsiders.He opened the topic and said:

"Of course, visiting relatives and friends is funny, your invitation has given me an inspiration, that is, I have indeed got Africa to go to a trip, to sell some of the equipment we have engaged in, not only for your mine equipment."The industrial base of African countries is very weak, is in need of advanced and cheap industrial equipment, we can take the road of rural encirclement of the city, first occupy the African market, and then promote to Latin America and Asia, and finally to the old nest of Western powers, to seize their own market.Last year we built three after-sales service centres in Africa, and it was reported that the operations of several centres were doing very well, but I did not see it with my own eyes, and it was always a little less practical.

"So, it is estimated that General Feng yourself has already planned to go to Africa, and took this opportunity to push the boat along the water, but let Liu Wang and I owe you a great human feeling."Wang Weilong pretended to be aggrieved.

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Since Wang always said this, then my travel trip to Africa is reimbursed in the equipment company, and it will never take a penny of your cheap."

“That can’t be!”Wang Weilong seems to have been robbed of money and generally anxious eyes, "Since we invited you, then the ticket, accommodation, dinner, of course, we Luo metal and forest weight all the package, if you dare to reimburse the equipment company, that is to look down on people, will not come to us."

“Aren’t you forcing the cow to drink water?”

"We just don't want people to laugh at us."

"King, you have changed."

“Your husband has changed.”

“It’s changed, it’s old!”

"What do you say?It is my old king who is old, and your Feng is always rich and strong, is a flower...”
