Chapter 856:An imperceptible reversal

Feng Xiaochen always expected things to be like God, but his prophecies this time were not fulfilled.The EU investigation team led by Bovard did not roll back to Europe with a grim face, but was happily, busy negotiating foundry and procurement with Chinese wind turbine manufacturers and accessories, as if the purpose of their trip was not to ask the Chinese teacher for guilt, but to rush to seek cooperation.

With the rising price of oil and the rise of the global energy conservation and emission reduction trend, wind power and solar energy have become the hottest energy investment areas.The main factor hindering the development of wind power and solar energy is the cost.Due to the long-term high price of wind turbines, the cost of wind power is much higher than the cost of fossil energy power generation, resulting in wind farms that cannot compete with traditional thermal power unless there is a government subsidy, which in turn has led to the impact of the market development of wind turbine companies.

Today, the Chinese use of cheap labor and large-scale production to reduce the price of fans by more than 30%, which makes European wind turbine companies see opportunities.They all thought that if the fan is transferred to China to make, or even if it is just using Chinese-made components, it can greatly reduce the price of the fan.

With lower prices, they will be able to lobby EU countries to increase the scale of wind power construction.The profits they can get per kilowatt of fans will not fall, and the number of fans sold will increase, which means that the money that shareholders can earn increases, is this not a great thing to lose the pie in the sky?

As for the transfer of production to China, it will lead to the hollowing out of European industries and the unemployment of European workers, this is not something that these executives should consider.Shouldn’t jobs and welfare be the government’s concern?European countries' taxes are so high, and the government collects so many taxes, what's wrong with worrying?

The same situation was encountered in the investigation of several places, and Beauvais and Emmeline looked at the previously murderous executives who turned their faces like books, one by one, and the closeness of the Chinese people was like brothers who had been separated for many years, and it was really a little crying and tears.

What about your fuck?

And your faces!

“Mr. Bovard, should we find a way to stop them from doing this?”After the various investigation missions returned to Beijing, Emmeline approached Bovard and asked him.

“Stopped?How to stop it?”Bovard asked incredulously.

“Kyle and Linhe Fan reached a verbal agreement, and Kyle said that they would transfer their 1.5 MW wind turbine manufacturing core technology to Linhe without compensation, provided that the forest weights will manufacture 200 1.5 MW wind turbines for them for the Bishkp wind farm in Portugal.In this cooperation, we have suffered at least two losses, one is that our core technology in Europe has been acquired by the Chinese, and the other is that the business of the Bishkir wind farm has actually fallen into the hands of the Chinese, and we originally hoped that this project will create 400 jobs in Europe.”Emmeline said.

Bovard sighed: "The same is true of my side, Dowling said that it will transfer its wind turbine reducer technology to China's Xinmin Hydraulic Company, and Xinmin Hydraulic Company manufactures fan reducers for them, and Dowling will only be responsible for the sales of reducers in the future."You know, Dowling's reducers make up 40 percent of the European wind speeder market, and if they move this business to China, they will cut at least 2,000 jobs in Europe."

“Didn’t you stop them from doing this?”Emmeline asked.

Bovard said, “How can I stop it?Xinmin Hydraulic Company has established a production line with an annual output of 15,000 sets of reducers, which is far more intelligent than the Dowlin Company.Their reducer factory price is 30% lower than the cost of Dowling, even if the Dowling company does not cooperate with them, they will take all the market of Dowling in two to three years.The Dowling company does this only as a self-preservation act.”

“Perhaps, we should stipulate that the proportion of local manufacturing in Europe in the new wind farm in Europe should not be less than 50%...” Emmeline subconsciously said, and then stunned to find that this seems to be the previous part of the EU and China, the difference is that the Chinese people at that time put forward the requirement of 50% localization rate, while the EU is holding the banner of free trade, requiring the Chinese government to cancel this regulation.

“We can’t do it.”Bovard said: “Those wind power investors in Europe will not accept our demands.In addition, even if we do, there will be no damage to the Chinese, because the future of wind power construction hotspots in China, they can grow only by relying on their own wind power market.If Europe protects itself, it will ultimately only lag behind China in technology and lose competitiveness forever.”

“We are losing competitiveness now.”Emmeline said.

Bovard said: "I think we have at least retained the competitiveness of research and development.Mr. Ney of the Dowling Company told me that when they moved the production of the reducer to China, they could focus on the development and design of the reducer, which is only their foundry.”

Emmeline nodded, "Well, I hope it's true."

May God bless Europe.”Beauvais looked up at the smog over Beijing and comforted himself: “Anyway, moving production to China will at least reduce Europe’s pollution emissions.”

The European Mission has left.With the exception of a few people, such as Bovard, Emiline and Heinzl, most of the members of the mission felt that the trip was worthwhile.This time, they only briefly examined the production situation of Chinese wind turbine companies and initially agreed with the Chinese side on the intention of cooperation.In the future, enterprises will also send formal inspection teams and negotiation teams to discuss specific cooperation methods with China, which does not need to be repeated.

"General Feng, I really obey you, such a game of dead chess, actually let you live, but also defeated to win, from the European people and cut a large piece of meat down."We have calculated that the companies in this European investigation team, and our domestic enterprises agreed on the contract intention and the intention to purchase parts, worth not less than 4 billion euros.The European Union organized so many people to come over from afar, and it was really a matter of losing the lady and the soldiers."

After sending away a dry European, Xu Zhenbo patted Feng Xiaochen on the shoulder and said with emotion.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Director Xu has won the award, this is not my credit."This game, we occupy the momentum, so that no one can lose.Our national fixed asset investment this year reached more than 20 trillion yuan, which is our bottom line.Without such a large scale of infrastructure, we can't let the company expand the scale of production, so the cost can't be reduced."

"Doesn't it be said philosophically that quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and our fan industry is like this?"Xu Zhenbo also tugned the theory.

“It’s not just wind turbines, energy, electricity, steel, machinery, all industries.”Feng Xiaochen said, "I will tell you a number, from 1966 to 1980, our country designed and manufactured more than 700 mm slab continuous casting machine, a total of 5; 1981 to 1990, 9; 1991 to 2000, 12."Do you know how many there are in 2001?”

“How do I know that?”Xu Zhenbo smiled and rebuked, "You are engaged in equipment manufacturing, dealing with these numbers all day long."I am engaged in foreign trade, do not involve import and export things, how can I know?"

Feng Xiaochen said happily: "So far, 88 units have been put into operation, and at least 20 more can be put into production before 2010.That is to say, in the 10 years since 2001, the large-scale slab continuous casting machines we have put into operation, at least 108, which is equivalent to four times the total between 1965 and 2000."

“10 years is equivalent to four times the time of the last 35 years, which is not equivalent to 10 years equals 140 years.”Xu Zhenbo said, "I can't believe it, we don't know, we have come to this point."

In fact, Xu Zhenbo also knows some of this data.After entering the new century, China has begun to make full efforts in various fields, as well as in foreign trade.China’s total annual import and export trade is now equivalent to nearly 300 times that of 30 years ago.In addition, the problem of foreign trade deficit that has plagued China for many years has been completely reversed and has become a large surplus.The country’s foreign exchange reserves have doubled to a level of $2 trillion.

Xu Zhenbo was doing foreign trade work in the 1970s, which is considered to be "old foreign trade".One of the most heard words in their generation that year was "foreign exchange shortage", and the word that said the most was "export foreign exchange".In those years, but everything that involved producing foreign exchange had almost the privilege of surpassing everything.Everything as long as it is to export foreign exchange, all departments will be given a green light.

In order to export foreign exchange, all regions and units are willing to sell, valuable oil, coal, copper, tin ore, etc., are all export foreign exchange commodities.If someone takes a piece of equipment, they can replace the ore of our ship.The most spoof is that the Japanese bought the coal we produced and shipped it to Tokyo Bay to reclaim the land, and waited for the global coal to be exhausted one day, and then dug out to use it...

All of this has changed unconsciously.China is no longer a country with a shortage of foreign exchange, and China no longer needs to export resources in exchange for foreign exchange, on the contrary, we also spend a lot of foreign exchange to import resources from abroad.In the words of the young people on the Internet, what foreign exchange reserves are not the green waste paper printed by Americans?If there is any use there, it is better to take some oil and buy it back.As for buying too much oil, it doesn't matter if you don't use it for a while, find a few caves to fill it, and when it's not enough to pull it out again.

From selling coal to refilling others to refilling the sea, to buying oil to return to fill the cave, how did this reverse be achieved?
