The EU is coming to investigate
Chapter 852:The EU is coming to investigate
After coming out of Oriental Jialai Company, Heinzl ran six or seven wind farms with Chuppma to understand the situation of wind turbine procurement.In all wind farms, he got the same information, that is, China's domestic wind turbine companies collectively reduce the price of the fan, the average price per kilowatt is about 30% lower than that of European companies, with an absolute price advantage.
Heinzl is not worried, he suspects that there is a certain tacit understanding between these wind farms and Chinese wind turbine companies, such as the signing of a private interest subsidy agreement, deliberately disclosing a serious unreasonable low price to the outside world, in order to exclude European fans.He found European wind power investors, let them ask for prices in China's wind turbine companies, the results of the answer to the European investors are overjoyed, Chinese wind turbine companies can actually be lower than 30% of the price of European companies to provide fans, and the quality is not too far away from European fans, if so, why should they buy the wind turbines of European companies?
“This is a low-price dumping practice that is sanctioned by international trade rules!”
Heinzl was furiously clamoring for European investors.Originally wanted to let these investors ask for their own market, who expected to help Chinese wind turbine companies to advertise, Heinzl's feelings can only be described by Sunned_by_dog.
"Well, we're very much looking forward to you getting the truth out."Investors told Heinzl, “If it turns out that they are not dumping, but have indeed found a way to control costs, I suggest that European wind companies can learn from them.”
For wind power investors, Chinese wind turbine companies do not dump, have nothing to do with them, they are happy to see this price reduction behavior.In the view of the investor entrusted by Heinzl, the price of European wind turbine companies is undoubtedly unreasonable, and the executives of these companies drive luxury cars and live in luxury homes, all of which are earned from their wind power investors.Or China's wind turbine companies have a conscience, this price is full of luck.
Heinzl reappeared in front of Bovard, this time asking the European Union to investigate the malicious price competition of Chinese wind turbine companies.
“Do you have any evidence?”Bovard looked at Heinzl as disgusting as if he had seen a fly.This is endless, it is simply a pile of fresh bullshit from EU officials.
“I have no evidence!”Heinzl said bluntly, did not wait for the Bowad storm, he added: "But I asked the technical director of five European wind turbine companies to assess, everyone thought that the price of 470 euros per kilowatt is absolutely impossible to do."Even taking into account the relatively low labor costs in China, the cost per kilowatt of China's domestic wind turbines will be between 580 and 600 euros."
In 2008, the price of the euro and the yuan is about 1 to 10 to 11, 600 euros is roughly equivalent to 6300 yuan, which is lower than the cost of European wind turbine companies, but it is not a big gap.
Bovard played the signature pen on hand, saying: "The Chinese people's ability to control costs has always been very strong, and you can't look at Chinese companies with the standards of European companies."Your workers and engineers spend too much time on coffee, and as far as I know, the Chinese don't drink coffee, which saves them a lot of time."
That’s a bit of a face.The welfare of German enterprises is really good and outrageous, some enterprises in the summer directly put a month of summer vacation, the boss and workers are jubilant to go to the seaside to summer, wages, and these costs are undoubtedly to be spread out to the price of products.
Over the years, Chinese-made products have been continuously exported to Europe, with only half the price of local products, crowding out many local European companies.The collapsed companies have complained to the European Union, accusing Chinese companies of dumping and selling at prices below production costs.The EU has also carried out many anti-dumping investigations at the request of these companies, but most investigations have failed to reach conclusions in favor of European companies.Chinese companies can indeed produce a large number of products at a fraction of the cost of a considerable number of European companies, and the price they sell in China is even lower, which cannot be explained by dumping.
This time, Heinzl came to blame Chinese wind turbine companies for dumping, and Boyvad's first reaction was unbelief.In that matter, Heinzl exaggerates to Bovard, and clearly just drew a concept diagram, he can boast that the overall design has been completed, and Bovard has been so evil, if he believes Heinzl again, it is a fool.
“Mr. Bovard, I have been commissioned by all European wind turbine manufacturers to make a request to the EU.The Chinese government has eliminated the requirement for the localization rate of fans, but through various undisclosed means, it supports wind turbine companies to crowd out European companies at very low prices, which is a disguised trade protection.We hope that the EU can protest the Chinese government and investigate Chinese wind turbine companies to determine whether they are maliciously competing at below cost prices or receiving disguised subsidies from the Chinese government.In short, we absolutely cannot accept the claim that the cost per kilowatt of wind turbines of Chinese enterprises is less than 470 euros.”
Heinzl raised his face and said to Bovid.He has a joint complaint of European wind turbine companies, even if it does not represent all European companies, at least covering more than 70% of the European fan production capacity.These companies, like Pu Mai, rushed to China to open up the market, but touched a nose ash.This is not to mention, the news of the low price of Chinese fans has also reached Europe, and now European wind power investors are also moving, intending to abandon the local wind turbine manufacturers in Europe and turn to China to seek wind turbine supply, which makes European companies how to endure.
“If you insist on asking the EU to do so, the EU will meet your requirements.”Bovard said incredulously.Who gives people a voice, the EU door is written on the slogan "serving businessmen."Thinking that he had to go to China again, and to do a thing that would be slender, Boyard also wanted to find a dog to sun.
It is impossible to refuse the company's request, but it is always possible to delay the time.Boward received the complaint from Heinzl, first reporting to the Secretary-General, and then spent a lot of time reviewing the relevant information, basically the rhythm of two or three documents a day.After four or five weeks, Boyard called the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and informed the other party about the malicious competition of European wind turbine companies.
China's Ministry of Commerce will not immediately respond, but spent several weeks investigating, and then reported the results of the investigation to the EU, pointing out that the accusations of European companies are unfounded, Chinese companies have always abided by the law, strictly abide by the rules of the market, and never did anything to disturb the market order.As for why the Chinese fan is so cheap, because... we are so cheap, I don't agree, you come and hit me.
“European companies want to conduct an on-site survey of Chinese wind turbine companies to confirm that the production costs of Chinese wind turbine companies are indeed in line with their own statements.”Bovid made a request to the Chinese side.
"However, you are conducting an anti-dumping investigation on Chinese color TVs and steel fasteners sold to Europe, and it is appropriate to launch an investigation into the fan at this time?"China is questioning.
“I think we can end the investigation of color TV and steel fasteners early...” Bovard said.
Trade relations are like this, if you want to make a request in this regard, you need to make concessions in other areas, otherwise people will say that you do not know the proportion, the two sides will not be able to interact.For the EU to investigate China’s wind turbines, it must give up some other rights accordingly in exchange for China’s cooperation.The end of the investigation of color TVs and fasteners is the condition for China to accept the EU to carry out the wind turbine investigation, if the EU does not agree, then do not expect China to agree to the wind turbine investigation.
"General Feng, on behalf of the national color TV enterprises and fastener companies, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you."Xu Zhenbo informed Feng Xiaochen of the EU's requirements on the phone, and at the same time said half-heartedly and half sincerely.
“It’s all our companies, who’s to say who’s grateful?”Feng Xiaochen laughed and responded.
"You have lowered the price of the fan, you have flashed a follower of the European companies, and now they are in a hurry to investigate.I will ask you: our wind turbine companies, can stand the investigation?”Xu Zhenbo asked.
Feng replied easily: “No problem at all.In addition to those confidential links, other production links, no matter how they look, want to check our original ledger.The price of our fan is bright, and no one can find anything wrong."
He said, “That’s great.However, don't promise to be so happy, it is best to hide some things and find any reason.Go back and let EU officials come to our Ministry of Commerce to coordinate, so that we have another chance to talk to them about the price.”
“Haha, I said before, Mr. Xu is unscrupulous.With so many typhoons, you have counted how many times Europeans have been, and I am distressed for EU officials."Feng Xiaochen said.
He said, “This is due to your efforts.Honestly, I still don’t know how you’re going to get the winder cost down.On the EU side, they have found more than a dozen experts from wind turbine companies to discuss, and everyone thinks that it is impossible to reduce the price of the fan to 5,000 yuan per kilowatt, and you actually did it.
Feng Xiaochen laughed loudly: "What is this, at most three years, we can reduce the cost to 3000 yuan per kilowatt, do you believe it?"In this world, what is something that we Chinese have mastered, we can quickly make it into cabbage prices, and there are still many times when the old companies in Europe cry."
