Chapter 734:WTO is coming

Persuade Du Minghua, Che Yue Ying couple's work, can be described as difficult.Although Du Xiaoyuan is already in his early 30s, he has not left the passage from childhood to large, and has always lived under the nose of the old couple, and now suddenly said that he will go to Africa, but the soul of the old couple can be scared.

Du Xiaodi hard scalp to his parents to do a month of thinking work, Feng Xiaochen also patted the chest said that Avarena's pimple of the speaker is his buds, the director of the Sino-Arab industrial park is his subordinate, Du Xiaoyuan to go there is safer than in the safe, every day to eat spicy, and the local girls take care of the living, is definitely the landlord's family stupid son of the happy life.Du Xiaoyi and Huang Changfeng are also on the side of the help, said they also want to go to Africa, the future can be with Du Xiaoyuan to take care of each other, there will be no problem.

As for Du Xiaoyuan himself, he gave his parents a choice: either let him go to Africa, or he was a son like in the past, cheating men and women all the time, so that the old couple could see no face in the original.

Du Xiaoyuan's threat eventually played a role, Du Minghua, after all, are workers from the origin, there are some simple world view, for the son is quite contemptuous.Seeing his son so mixed up is really likely to give himself a disgrace, two mouthfuls of teeth a bite of the heart, promised to let Du Xiaoyuan go to Africa first to see, if the environment is OK, then do a few years, save a little seniority to come back to find a good unit, if the environment is not, even if it is not, anyway, the family can also live him.

In addition, the old couple also put forward two conditions for Du Xiaoyuan: first, he must find an object in three years, if he can give birth to children, it is naturally the best; second, this object must be Chinese, do not bring a black girl back, the old couple is old, can not stand this stimulus.

Du Xiaoyuan agreed to his parents' request, and then happily joined Wang Ruidong and set foot on a plane to Africa.Wang Ruidong was just a whim, said to do business with Du Xiaoyuan, this time when the two uncles in a mess, actually found with each other some feelings of consensual feeling, so it came true, really co-financed a company, and took the two people's name called Far East Machinery Company.

Du Minghua two people in the spring in the spring of the restaurant Tongyuan branch took a lot of dividends, are there to prepare for his son to marry, now just take out to give him as entrepreneurial capital.Seeing his son flying like a changed person, the old couple also felt very relieved, and hid that worry and perseverance.

As soon as Du Xiaoyi left, Du Minghua had no children around him and became a pair of empty nesters.Feng Xiaochen suggested to them that they move to Beijing to live, so that they and Du Xiaodi can take care of it.However, the Du family said that they are used to living in the original, and there are many old colleagues and old neighbors around them, and they are not used to going to Beijing.Feng Xiaochen persuaded several times, saw the other side's firm attitude, and said nothing more.The old couple is actually not too old, the body is not good, in the original life is no problem.It is indeed difficult for them to come to Chicago, and the people around them are not familiar with it.

These chores for Feng Xiaochen, that is, the use of spare time to consider, he is now more and more busy, the work is more and more.After several years of adjustment, the Chinese economy has come out of the trough of the mid-1990s and began to enter the fast lane.All walks of life have put forward high requirements for the equipment manufacturing industry, as the general manager of the equipment industry company, he really has a sense of pressure.

“Why should I ask for my opinion on the WTO negotiations?”

In a conference room of the National Development Plan Committee, Feng Xiaochen innocently complained to Wang Zhenbin, a director of a certain department.Wang Zhenbin is Feng Xiaochen in the Institute of social science graduate students, these years in the national planning committee diligent career qualifications, now as the director, today, he took Feng Xiaochen special trip to invite, said the country to participate in the WTO negotiations officials want to ask him for a little opinion.

"Isn't the terms of China's commitment to the equipment manufacturing industry in the WTO negotiations that you drafted by your equipment industry?"In order to give you the best conditions for the equipment manufacturing sector, the state has made great concessions in agricultural products, rare earth export quotas and so on.Wang Zhenbin asked.

He said, “Of course I know.Thanks to the support of the country, we will also strive to improve the level of technology, and will not live up to the favorable conditions created by the country for us.”

The WTO, or the World Trade Organization, is not as tall as some people think, it is just an international version of the market we usually see.The World Trade Organization is a place for countries to bargain on trade issues, each country to the greatest benefit and join the WTO, if a country touts its own accession to the WTO for the sake of the noble ideal of free trade, either he himself is a fool, or he treats other countries as a fool.

Since the mid-1980s, China has applied for the restoration of its status as a party to the GATT, and this "custody" negotiation lasted for more than a decade, and finally ended with the GATT.The GATT was changed to the WTO, and China's resumption negotiations were transformed into WTO accession negotiations, which were another few years.

The difficulty of accession negotiations is that each side has its own demands, and each side hopes to get the most out of each other while minimizing the loss of its own party.For China, the biggest demand for accession is to be able to make its own cheap consumer goods into the developed world market without obstacles, while for developed countries, it wants China to open up the market of automobiles, industrial equipment, finance, cultural products and so on, so that they can use their technological advantages to extract excess profits from China.

It is clearly impossible to reap the benefits of the negotiations without paying the price.China has many important areas to protect, and if each area insists on opening up to foreign countries, then foreign countries will naturally not open their markets to China, and China will not need to negotiate accession to the WTO.The protection of some areas must be sacrificed at the expense of others, which is the least common sense in the negotiations.

China's equipment manufacturing industry is still technically backward compared to Western countries, if the full opening of the world, the West's industrial equipment will flock in, the Chinese hard-earned equipment manufacturing industry collapse.In order to protect the equipment manufacturing industry, the state has given up many rights and interests, including opening up some agricultural products markets and promising to export rare earths and other resources to the international market, which is a necessary exchange of conditions, not a dragon can be exempted.

Of course, Feng Xiaochen is very well aware of these situations.In fact, the list of areas of equipment in need of protection is provided by the equipment industry to the WTO negotiating team.Some equipment China's manufacturing technology has been able to match the Western countries, there is no need to include the scope of protection, the less items need to be protected, the less the cost of the state.

It is also for this reason that when Wang Zhenbin said that WTO negotiators wanted to discuss some issues with Feng Xiaochen, Feng Zhichen rushed to the commission, saying that the WTO negotiations had nothing to do with himself, but just casually, in fact, he also knew that the relationship between the WTO and the equipment industry was too close.

As he spoke, the door to the conference room was pushed open and a staff member came in with several officials.The one at the head saw Feng Xiaochen and rushed to shake his hand, and said politely: "President Feng, I'm sorry, please come here."

Feng Xiaochen fixed his eyes, the original side is the director of the Ministry of foreign trade Xu Zhenbo, and Feng Xiaochen is also an old friend.Feng Xiaochen, holding hands with the other, smiled and said, "It was Director Xu, fortunately, fortunately."

"Originally I should have visited Feng General in the equipment company, but because this matter and the Commission also have some relationship, we also need to ask Director Wang to participate in the talks, so I had to take the opportunity to ask the director of Wang to provide a venue, the General Feng invited to come."Xu Zhenbo explained.

Feng Xiaochen said, "Director Xu said, Director Wang is my big brother, is it not normal to come to him to talk?"Even if Director Xu does not call, I will often come to report to Director Wang.”

"Old man, your mouth is more than the past, and I don't know how to answer these two words."Wang Zhenbin pointed to Feng Xiaochen and said helplessly.

These people are department-level cadres, Feng Xiaochen is a cadre in the enterprise, according to the reason is a lower status, but Wang Zhenbin and Xu Zhenbo know that he is deeply appreciated by the superiors, in the field of equipment manufacturing quite human veins, belongs to the young talent who can not be underestimated.In addition, Feng Xiaochen has just been absorbed into the party group of the Economic and Trade Commission, one step away from the deputy ministerial level, and Wang Zhenbin and Xu Zhenbo are old, and it is estimated that the road is over.Combined with these circumstances, two people naturally have more respect for Feng Xiaochen, which is also a "little boy poor".

After the cold, the guest stayed separately and began to talk.Wang Zhenbin, as the master, first issued a brief welcome speech, followed by Xu Zhenbo's speech:

"Chief Wang, President Feng, today you two are a very important question, the Minister, let me listen to your views."We are currently negotiating with the United States on accession to the WTO, and the United States has offered to significantly reduce import tariffs on refined products so that U.S.-produced refined products can have more access to the Chinese market.Before that, the Commission had proposed to maintain the protection of refined oil products, so as not to control our energy supply by foreign forces.I would like to ask you both what further consideration is given to this matter.”
