Chapter 2007 Finding Cooperation with the European Union
China and the United States are competing. This not only represents the interests of Feng Yu, but also represents the interests of many merchants and enterprises in China, and even represents the interests of China. .
It's not that China cannot compromise, but the United States must also make concessions and make concessions to each other in order to truly cooperate. How to make the United States back down? Then we need to let the United States know that we still have a huge market.
In the European Union, Germany and France first discussed whether we could cooperate in some industries, and then they brought in the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and Luxembourg in order to have a greater impact.
But the ones that really play a dominant role in it are Germany and France. Their primary interests at first were coal and steel.
In order to ensure the alliance of interests, they also established several European banks to help each other. Many surrounding countries saw that this alliance was very powerful, and it was a disadvantage for them to fight on their own, so they applied to join it one after another.
The current European Union is the largest political and economic entity in the world, and the allied countries share many of the same laws, especially in terms of economics and trade.
Today, the currency euro has been unified, with the intention of offsetting the influence of the US dollar and even replacing it.
The United Kingdom, the most important ally of the United States in Europe, is also one of the member states of the European Union. However, at the beginning, France could strongly oppose the joining of the United Kingdom, which has also led to the poor relationship between Britain and France.
The European Union, also China's most important partner, is the most important in many ways.
As early as more than ten years ago, China and the European Union launched the China-Europe Talks, mainly to promote bilateral trade cooperation, cooperate in politics, and ensure their respective interests.
Especially in the fight against the US dollar and the United States, everyone actually has the same interest demands, and China was also the first big country to introduce the euro into its foreign exchange reserves.
Even in these years, the reserve ratio of the euro and the US dollar has been adjusted, and the relationship with the European Union has become closer. In particular, the European Union is absorbing the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which is closer to China.
Among the EU member states, tariffs are extremely low, even claiming to have no borders. As long as Huaxia has opened up one road, it can guarantee that the whole road will be open.
China once again launched the Sino-European talks. Compared with the harsh conditions on the US side, the EU's conditions are obviously not so excessive.
Huaxia must also ensure that the EU will not boycott Huaxia's products, so that Huaxia can continue to increase exports and generate more income. And the European Union supports China, so China is not worried at all about the sanctions imposed by the United States.
If you sanction me, I will fight back, economic war, who is afraid of whom. Without the United States as a trading partner, the impact on China will not be great at all.
Of course, the EU also has deep trade ties with the United States, but the EU has always been very wary of the United States, and they don't want the United States to influence their country.
They also know that there is an undercover agent in the UK, but the UK cannot influence the EU's overall decision. But one thing is very interesting, that is, after the introduction of the euro, many member states of the European Union began to gradually abandon their national currencies to jointly maintain the currency system of the euro.
But the British pound still exists, the United Kingdom has not joined the euro zone, but the euro can be used in the United Kingdom. There are two price tags on the goods in many stores, and the pound is not equivalent to the euro!
What is the UK worried about? They are worried that they will be left behind economically, and they are worried that after losing their currency independence status, Europe will be too strong to benefit him.
After all, the European Union is not only an economic community, but also a political community.
China is now recognized as the largest in Asia. Although the island country is powerful, its exports are far greater than its imports. What the EU needs is a huge market, and China obviously meets this requirement.
Therefore, the relationship between the European Union and China is extremely close. Everyone wants to attack the status of the US dollar, and their interests in this regard are also consistent. The reason why Huaxia held the Sino-European talks this time is also clear to the EU.
Aren't they just worried about sanctions from the United States? In fact, they believe that the root cause of this incident is in the United Kingdom. If the United Kingdom had not sold the Lituo Group for the sake of money, would such things have happened now?
The UK thought they still had B&B and would continue to take the initiative. What happened? Now that the initiative is firmly controlled by the Polar Bear Mining Group, isn't Britain dumbfounded?
Fortunately, other countries in the European Union do not have much iron ore, and their demand for steel products is not particularly large. Even the combined demand of the whole of Europe is not as good as that of China.
Originally, iron ore could be used to restrict China and other emerging developing countries, but now it can't. The main reason is that the United Kingdom miscalculated the situation, and the United Kingdom was too short of money at the time, and was most seriously dragged down by the economic crisis in the United States.
The demand for steel in EU countries is not high, and their domestic steel industry is not very developed. Of course, some special steel products are still being produced.
Huaxia promised to the European Union that we will not compete with you for some special steel products with your advantages, but you will import ordinary steel products with slightly lower profits from our side. Of course, this is not absolute. If you have We don't stand in the way of better choices.
In any case, the iron ore that the EU wants to import must come from the joint venture between Lituo and BHP, which is much more cost-effective than their import from Brazil.
But this time, China and the EU talked more. Isn't the United States having doubts about China's steel, so it is absolutely possible to talk to the EU first.
Correspondingly, Huaxia allowed EU countries to participate in Huaxia's airport, highway and other transportation construction, which can be regarded as mutual export of superior technologies.
China's road network is much worse than that of developed countries, and the same is true for airplanes.
And Huaxia discussed with the EU about tourism-related matters, and will promote tourism to Europe. And import some European products to replace American products.
At the same time, Feng Yu also promised to build several electronic product factories in Europe. In fact, Feng Yu had planned to do so a long time ago, which can be regarded as the global strategic layout of Fengyu Electronics and others.
Among them, Fatty Huang's company was also selected. He is also planning to go to Europe to set up at least one foundry to snatch the market there.
Even if there is only an order from Huaxia, or an order from Feng Yu, he can guarantee that he will not lose money. The important thing is that this time he represented Huaxia Enterprises going out, it was such an honor for him, he also met Zhang Ruiqiang, and he was very excited.
The talks between China and the European Union were publicized through the media. The United States immediately knew that the means of economic sanctions against China were not working well.
They are also studying whether they should make some compromises in exchange for Huaxia's money coming in immediately.
