Eakins and McGee returned to the United States with great joy.They signed cooperation agreements with dozens of small businesses in Jinnan, agreeing that they would accept orders in the United States and then hand them over to Jinnan.Jinan's enterprises send the finished product to the Yimei factory, but it must be written as blanks when customs clearance.The Elmar plant will carry out some symbolic processing of these products, and then sell them to large American companies such as Haifei, which can be regarded as American-made products.

Iggins, they calculated that even with the 50 percent import tariff, it would still be cheaper to source spare parts from Jinnan than it would be made in the U.S., not only because of lower labor costs in China than in the U.S., but also because of the scale effect of industrial agglomeration.

In China, many industries have formed industrial clusters, such as Jinnan's metal processing industry, forming a one-stop production system such as smelting, casting and forging, machining, heat treatment, flaw detection, and packaging and transportation.Such a production system can make the most of personnel and equipment, and the cost savings are extremely considerable.

In contrast, in the United States, the entire town of Barr is only the Imail factory, a mechanical enterprise, which is either equipped with a complete set of production equipment and workers, and let them be idle most of the time, or must go to dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away to seek production support, the logistics cost alone is unbearable.

Not that Americans do not understand the principle of industrial agglomeration, in fact, in the period of industrial prosperity in the United States, Pittsburgh, Detroit and other places have formed a complete and huge industrial system, especially in the World War II period and in the post-war period, American manufacturing almost supported the world's demand.

But with the economy growing, labor costs in the United States and Europe have risen, and manufacturing has shifted to regions with lower labor costs.First Japan, then the "Asian Tigers", and then China, have become the relocation destination of the manufacturing industry.Compared with China, Japan and the Asian Tigers are small economies, and even if they are fully powered, they cannot meet the needs of the world.But China is a large country with a population of 1.3 billion people, and the industrial labor force reached 200 million at its peak, and the 1+1>2 principle is particularly obvious to the industrial field.

The scale of the garment manufacturing industry is large, and it can support the industry of manufacturing and repair sewing machines; the production of sewing machines is more, and the machine tool industry can be supported.One industry drives another industry, and the development of the latter industry does not need to be at the expense of the previous industry, because... labor has!

In this way, China's industry is lined up from point to line, and then from the line to form, and gradually formed hundreds of industrial agglomeration areas throughout the country.Often a certain county, or even a certain town, can monopolize a certain product in the global market, and the output reaches more than 80% of the world.Industrial agglomeration means that the local will form a complete supporting system related to this industry, any investor who wants to enter this field, as long as he stands on the street with a money bag and shouts a voice, workers, technicians, equipment, raw materials, drawings and even sales channels, can be put together in an instant.You just need to hit a finger, a factory can start.

At this time, how can other countries and regions compete with a county or even a town in China?

The word big but not strong is actually invented by sour people who do not understand industry.In this world, big means strong, and the truth of wolves eating tigers is not difficult to understand.

Because Igins and McGee knew this truth, they gave up their minds about fighting with Jinnan's small businesses and became two-way traffickers.In the current situation, large companies such as Haifei, in order not to offend Mepp, need to symbolically reduce the import of accessories from China and switch to procurement from the United States.But the United States can not form such a supporting system, which requires Yiggins and their small business to be second-hand.

The Emine plant imports "crash parts" from China, processed into the final spare parts in the United States, and then sold them to Haifei.In this way, from the book point of view of Haifei, the "localization rate" of the product can be greatly improved, and Mepp can also claim that its American great strategy has achieved brilliant results.As for these "Made in the United States" parts are actually produced in Jinan's small business, Mep can pretend not to see.When politicians are people, they know exactly what things need to be needed and what they need to pretend not to know.

"Wing Chen, in the past three months, the trade surplus between China and the United States has not narrowed, but also further expanded, which is really a bit dramatic."

In Feng Xiaochen's office, Xu Zhenbo, the director of the Ministry of Commerce, reported with a smile.

Feng Xiaochen also smiled and said, “What is the specific reason, have you done any analysis?”

Xu Zhenbo nodded and said, “We have done customs statistics.Since the announcement of the increase in tariffs, the number of various goods imported by the United States from China has not decreased significantly, and the import of some consumer goods has even increased.It is understood that some US importers are worried that the Mepp government will raise taxes further in the future, so it is necessary to prepare and prepare in advance, which is the main reason for the abnormal increase in their imports.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Mepp has always claimed that the United States has suffered a big loss in Sino-US trade.In fact, the United States imports goods from China, not out of charity, but because the United States itself needs these goods, its people need cheap consumer goods, its enterprises need Chinese raw materials and spare parts, which is a rigid demand.Mapp does not think about how to increase exports to China, but wants to limit imports from China, this is to go against the sky, how can it be successful?"

"Now the United States' approach is to increase the production of the United States itself, and the other is to seek to use other countries to replace China."The former has already shown that the index of industrial production in the United States recorded the highest growth rate in the past five years, according to the data, and the unemployment rate has also fallen sharply, indicating that United States production is recovering.”Xu Zhenbo said.

Feng Xiaochen nodded: "It is not surprising that the United States is also a big country after all, and it can't always be a parasite by playing finance?"The industrial recovery in the United States, we should be happy for them.We can help them if needed, for example, by providing them with some industrial equipment.”

“Ok!”Xu Zhenbo directly smiled and sprayed, Feng Secretary-General this is really domineering side leakage ah, really a person who has been the general manager of the equipment company for more than ten years, and has full confidence in China's equipment.

At the same time, in the stamping workshop of a Detroit automobile factory, Mepp was standing on a temporary platform, spit on the spit on the stage's dry reporters and workers:

“Gentlemen, I can proudly tell you that in the past quarter, the index of industrial production in the United States increased by 2.1% month-on-month, which is a remarkable result, which shows that our manufacturing industry has achieved a strong recovery.Just now, the plant's director, Mr. Beagle, told me that last month they built a total of 34,000 cars, 80 percent of which were from the United States, made by great American workers."

“Oh!”

The applause of the stage was thunderous, which naturally had the childcare arranged by the Mipp staff in advance, and the other was the melon-eating crowd that was driven by the atmosphere of the scene.In fact, the emotions of the masses are the most easily led, a few sensational words, a few gestures, coupled with enough psychological cues, can make them feel that the person standing on the head with a halo, is able to save them from the water from the fire of the big hero.

“Mr. President, according to the data I have seen, although the government has significantly increased tariffs on imports from China, the U.S.-China trade deficit has narrowed over the past quarter, instead increasing by $4 billion from the previous quarter.Does that mean our tax increase policy has not achieved the desired results.”A reporter asked a question untimely.

Mapp was elected on grassroots support, and America’s intellectual elite was a skeetful president, and many media outlets were selling out for Mr. Mep.In the same spirit, Mappe scolded the American media for lying, and the result was naturally to further intensify his relationship with the media.Therefore, in every public event, there are media reporters who have been embarrassed by Mep, which has become a practice.

“No, Mr. Journalist, you are wrong!”“You just saw that the U.S.-China trade deficit increased by $4 billion last quarter, and you don’t see that before that, the deficit would widen by more than $4 billion every quarter.”That is to say, it is precisely because we have raised tariffs on imports from China that we have succeeded in curbing the trend of widening deficits.”

This is also possible...

The reporters were cold.I said that the first derivative is positive, you tell me that the second derivative is negative, so you win, this logic, it seems to be very powerful Oh.

“So, Mr. President, will the government continue to maintain this high tariff in the next step?”Another reporter asked.

Mepp said categorically, “No!”

“No!”The reporters and business executives present were surprised, which is a shocking news.

I thought, in the words of Mepp, turn them all over to Ray:

“I will double the current tax rate, and our goal is to make it impossible for any Chinese product to enter the United States!”

His voice did not fall, and he felt that something was floating and falling from the top of his head.He reached out and found an American flag.The flag was originally temporarily attached to the huge car body stamping machine behind him, I don't know if it was because it was not strong, or because it was blown by a fan in the workshop, the flag fell.

“Oh!”

The eyes of the people followed the trajectory of the national flag, and unexpectedly found that the place that affixed the flag was originally the logo of the equipment manufacturer.The people who arranged the scene may have put a flag on it more than one occasion to block the sign.

The sign is exactly:

The jier!
