Chapter 71 I Am an Original Who Am I Afraid Of? "Today's 3rd More 5000 Words Delivered"
[====== Hand beat =====] After hearing Wei Liguo's explanation, Fan Wubing had nothing to say. After all, the source of this matter is in the United States, and the customs side is considered a good intention. It's just that it can't be said to be misunderstood.
"Oh, let's leave it at that, thank you for your trouble." Fan Wubing had no choice but to say this to Wei Liguo.
After hanging up the phone, Fan Wubing suddenly felt that staying at the customs was meaningless, so he took Wu Zhi's small machine and left in despair.
"Fan Sang, is there nothing we can do?" Wu Zhi Xiaoji asked.
"Well, there is really no way." Fan Wubing replied with a frown. "This is a contest between countries. We businessmen have no ability to change in this situation."
"Although it cannot be changed, it can be influenced!" Wu Zhi Xiaoji somewhat disagreed with Fan Wubing's statement. He gave an example, "For example, in Japan, it is not the emperor or the prime minister who determines the direction of politics, but the six The big chaebol represent the invisible hand. I think, with your strength in the United States and China, you are fully capable of influencing this matter."
"No no no----" Fan Wubing shook his head repeatedly, "This kind of thing will bring me a lot of trouble. No matter what, as long as it involves politics, it will become very troublesome. I I would rather be an unfettered businessman than a politician who looks very good. Politicians make me feel very bad. In fact, the issues of textiles and intellectual property protection between China and the United States have always been on the rise. Negotiating. Not long ago, the American Textile Manufacturers Association () applied to the US Department of Commerce to control the export of Chinese textiles. The reason is that since last year, China’s imports of textiles to the United States have surged. In the past year, the United States has As a result, 50 enterprises in China's textile industry were closed. More than 40,000 workers lost their jobs. He said that once the textile quota restrictions are abolished globally, the situation will be even worse.
This is the second time the application has been formally submitted. In September last year, for the same reason, it filed an application with the Executive Committee of the US Textiles Agreement, requesting quota restrictions and special safeguards on imports of knitted fabrics, gloves, bras, gowns and suitcases from China.
Some more radical extremists are clamoring for the president to restrict Chinese textiles through Article 20,
According to this clause, if the investigation proves that a domestic industry in the United States has been seriously damaged or threatened to be seriously damaged due to the surge in imports, the president has the power to take import restrictive measures, including raising tariffs and implementing tariff quotas. The president can also implement subsidies for domestic damaged industries to reduce the pressure of external competition faced by industries and help them adjust to the competitive environment.
The negotiations on intellectual property rights are being promoted behind the scenes by Microsoft and Pfizer. For a long time, the contradiction between China and the United States in the protection of intellectual property rights has always been very acute. The year before last, the United States put China in the list of "observation countries" that were considered to have serious problems in this regard. A year later, China was included in the list of "key observation countries". This year, the United States launched a special 30 investigation into China in this regard, and announced a list of retaliation worth 1.5 billion US dollars.
"Whether it's Article 30 or Article 20, it's just a prejudice against the Chinese." Fan Wubing said to Wuzhi Xiaoji, "Unless one day China's economy surpasses that of the United States, the United States will People will always create obstacles in one way or another.”
Speaking up. Trade protectionism is not a good idea.
In 1929, shortly after Hoover was sworn in as President of the United States, the hidden problems behind the apparent economic prosperity of the United States broke out. In October, the New York stock market crash triggered a financial crisis. The U.S. Congress blamed it on international trade. President Hoover signed the "Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act" the following year, imposing high tariffs on more than 20,000 imported products, which triggered a global trade war. near pause.
The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act triggered a massive international trade war, and the result was to push the U.S. stock market further into the abyss. When the Dow Jones Index fell to an all-time low of 41 in 1932, the total market value of the U.S. stock market shrank by 89% from its peak in 1929.
Many later economic historians believed that. The reason why the world economy fell into the Great Depression lasted for ten years. It is directly related to the trade war provoked by the United States at the beginning of the crisis. The international community has spent decades since then. It was only during this period that various trade barriers at Tsukiji were gradually dismantled. Therefore, trade protectionism not only failed to save the United States, but also plunged the global economy into a deeper crisis.
As the export of Chinese products to the United States encounters restrictions, other countries' exports to the United States will inevitably accelerate accordingly, because there is a huge demand for high-quality and cheap clothing products from developing countries in the US market. In the words of a textile industry professor at the University of North Carolina in the United States, this is a balloon effect, which compresses one part of the balloon and inevitably causes other parts of the balloon to bulge.
Greenspan, chairman of the US Federal Reserve Board, has repeatedly emphasized that any efforts by some people in the United States to limit the development of globalization will only bring adverse effects on the United States.
In fact, there are countless examples of the United States trying to protect its domestic market and related industries, but the results are counterproductive. In the 1980s, when Japanese automobiles entered the U.S., the U.S. adopted quota measures for importing Japanese automobiles. The final result is that Japanese automobiles are everywhere in the U.S., while the market share of domestic automakers is getting smaller and smaller.
Now the Americans have been better for a few years, and they are starting to make old mistakes again.
Fan Wubing, who has experienced it, naturally understands how stupid the economic policy that the United States is pursuing today, but the impact of this kind of thing is too great, and he does not have the ability to change it, so he can only let it go.
After the two got into the car, they didn't have a place to go, so they simply came to the New Silk Road Entertainment Company where Xia Donghai and the others worked, and wanted to see how they were doing recently.
After receiving Fan Wubing's capital injection, Xia Donghai and Feng Xiaonan completely renovated the New Silk Road Entertainment Company. They originally rented a three-story building, but now they simply rented a ten-story building in a prosperous area. The one-story building has a golden signboard with a height of more than ten meters on the outside. The characters on it are taller than adults, and they look extraordinarily dazzling under the sunlight.
"An entertainment company of this level can be regarded as a good deal." Fan Wubing nodded, and entered the building together with Wuzhi Xiaoji.
"Gentlemen, welcome to New Silk Road Entertainment Company. May I help you?" The two ladies at the front desk immediately bowed and asked.
"Well, you can find Xia Donghai or Feng Xiaonan. If they are not here, then just find someone who is in charge." Fan Wu is not welcome when he is sick. It is his own company anyway, so he can do whatever he wants. What a mess, just play with burning money.
Seeing that Fan Wubing was clear about the personnel affairs in his company, the two front desk ladies called the president's office. After a while, someone ran down.
Fan Wubing was overjoyed when he saw it, it turned out that it was someone else. Xia Xue ran out. Seeing that it was Fan Wubing, he immediately felt a little curious, "Mr. Fan! Brother Wubing! Why did you come here? Worried that my parents will take your money away?"
Hearing Xia Xue's words, Fan Wubing immediately felt very surprised. He glanced at Xia Xue, and suddenly realized that she was actually wearing something like pajamas, and he was surprised. "Xiao Xuemei, your clothes look very trendy! Is it popular not to wear underwear recently?"
Xia Xue heard the words and looked down, and sure enough, she was a little bit naked, so she quickly tightened her clothes with her hands. Then he said, "Come on, let's go upstairs and talk."
The three of them took the elevator up to the eighth floor. This is the old nest of Xia Xue and her parents. Their offices and residences are concentrated here. The upper three floors are respectively the meeting room and the chairman's office, which are not used much under normal circumstances. And the chairman's office. It was purely a display, although it was said to be reserved for Fan Wubing. But I didn't expect him to be able to use it often.
The specific work of the New Silk Road is still under the control of Xia Donghai and his family, while Fan Wubing is only responsible for providing funds and ideas.
"Fan Sang, where is the bathroom?" Wu Zhi Xiaoji didn't know whether he had eaten his stomach or something, and suddenly held his stomach and frowned and asked.
"Oh, you go to the sixth floor, the eighth floor is not designed for this." Xia Xue pointed to Wu Zhi's little machine.
Wu Zhi's little machine immediately disappeared at the fastest speed, and it seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore. "The Japanese are more vulgar." Fan Wubing looked at the direction where Wuzhi Xiaoji had disappeared, shook his head and said to Xia Xue with some embarrassment.
Xia Xue pursed her lips and smiled, then invited Fan Wubing to her room.
Because the place is relatively large, Xia Xue's current residence is quite luxurious. She occupies a large suite by herself, which has a living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms.
Fan Wubing took a look and found that the decoration inside the room was very feminine, the basic tone was pink, some plush toys, rabbits, bears, etc. were placed on the bed, so he couldn't help but say, "You live here. Conditions, apart from being a bit juvenile, can be considered five-star."
"Young? You mean I'm underdeveloped!" Xia Xue immediately said very unhappy when she heard the words.
development? ! Fan Wubing hadn't noticed this problem at first, but after hearing Xia Xue's words, he couldn't help turning his eyes around her, then nodded and commented, "It seems to be a little short, you need to strengthen nutrition, after that This time to grow the body, if you want to develop in the future, you can't just rely on purely natural means."
"Cut!" Xia Xue replied disdainfully, "You think I stayed in the United States for nothing! Isn't it just breast augmentation, what's the big deal!"
Uh, that's what I said. However, it really is no big deal! Fan Wubing secretly laughed.
"By the way, Boss Fan's younger brother is here in person. Do you have any highest instructions?" Xia Xue asked after seeing Fan Wubing sat down on the bed.
"It's nothing, there was a problem with a business just now, I went to the customs to talk about something, and I came back to see how you have messed up the company?" Fan Wubing replied a little heartlessly.
"Well, there hasn't been much progress for the time being. Recently, we have moved, recruited new people, and signed two other singers." Xia Xue replied, "And that's it. My parents are working with CCTV through their previous relationship. I got in touch and hoped to co-host the show. You didn’t see them today because they were busy with this matter.”
Feng Xiaonan was originally a staff member of CCTV, and later went to the United States for a while. Speaking of it, she is a sought-after media talent. It's just that she likes to do things by herself, so she came out to start a company, and Xia Donghai is a planner. Yes, the couple is very suitable for opening a husband and wife shop.
Now the New Silk Road Entertainment Company has received another capital injection from Fan Wubing. Development naturally breaks through the constraints of the bottleneck, which means soaring into the sky. Nowadays, when CCTV sees the New Silk Road Entertainment Company, it is not as indifferent as it used to be. After all, it is not the era when there were ten people and seven or eight guns.
"By the way. Do you have karaoke here?" Fan Wubing asked suddenly.
"Of course I have, why are you asking this?" Xia Xue nodded, and asked back with some doubts.
Fan Wubing replied. "Suddenly I feel rather boring, and I want to sing two songs to vent."
"You will also feel depressed? I thought all child prodigies were invincible!" Xia Xue couldn't help but to see Fan Wubing looking at her unhappily, and then she changed her words, "Okay, okay , as the actual person in charge of the company, I will try my best to meet your request. Isn’t it just singing. Can’t I sing with you?!”
The entertainment company also has a relatively complete sight-singing system, but it is much better than the karaoke on the street, no matter in terms of software and hardware equipment, or the quality of the microphone. The quality of the songs was a hundred times better, so after Fang Fan Wubing entered the singing practice room dedicated to singers, he looked at the many equipments and didn't know where to start.
"What are you doing with these things?" Fan Wubing asked Xia Xue in a daze.
"Did you come back from the United States? Why do I feel that you seem to be from the countryside?" Xia Xue muttered, then adjusted the equipment, and asked again. "Which song do you want to sing? Just use this remote control to click and select. We are now a computerized singing system, which is very convenient."
"Oh----" Fan Wubing responded. Then look at that screen menu.
Seeing that Fan Wubing hadn't chosen Ge'er for a long time, Xia Xue couldn't help asking, "After hearing what my mother said about you, I deliberately re-watched the previous Spring Festival Gala shows, as if you Sang that childhood song! Why don't you sing it again?"
"Childhood?" Fan Wubing immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, no! You see, half of my body is buried in the ground now, so I am not suitable for singing that kind of song anymore. I want to sing something mature. Well, that's it. , Xiao Li, fly the knife!"
"I don't think I've heard this song before." Xia Xue came back from the United States not long ago, so naturally she didn't have time to watch the TV series Xiao Li Feidao, and of course she didn't hear this song.
Fan Wubing adjusted the microphone, and after seeing the prompt, he sang, "It's rare to have such a good skill——love can never be broken——"
"Stop, stop ----" Xia Xue couldn't get used to this kind of Cantonese songs, and felt very uncomfortable, so she hurriedly yelled to stop, and then said, "You should sing the song "The Moon's Trouble", at least it sounds more manly
Oh, Fan Wubing nodded, but he didn't find this song when he was flipping through it, so he asked strangely, "Huh? Why isn't there?"
Seeing Fan Wubing's inexplicable appearance, Xia Xue couldn't help laughing, "I said you were a child prodigy just now, why are you so stupid now! This is your original song, and no one has sung it yet. How can you find it in the music book! I said, little brother, you are not broken in love, are you stimulated? How come you even forgot about this?"
Uh, yes! I'm fucking original!
When Fan Wubing thought of this, he couldn't help shouting, "I'm an original, who am I afraid of! Come on, the accompaniment tape has always been made out, right? I'll record a song for you to listen to!"
When Xia Xue heard that Fan Wubing was willing to record, she was overjoyed and said, "Don't mention the accompaniment tape! I've prepared the band for you! Just wait, it'll be here soon!"
Seeing Xia Xue running out quickly and calling for someone to go, Fan Wubing scratched his hair in doubt, thinking that my IQ seems to have been declining recently, or what do I think, this time it seems that I was caught by this person? Has the little girl's film been used?
However, if you want to sing, sing! I am original, who am I afraid of! Someone is shamelessly plagiarizing again!
