v5 Chapter 831: What is still lacking is self-confidence

A few days later, Fan Wuyi was invited by Fortune magazine. Go to Shanghai to participate in this year's annual meeting.

On October 27th, the Fortune Annual Conference of the US "Fortune" magazine was held in Shanghai. The theme of the annual conference was China’s next 50 years. It not only has the meaning of looking forward to the future, but also caters to the establishment of the People’s Republic of China just after 50 years. The festive atmosphere of the anniversary. More than 300 leaders of multinational companies came to participate, including more than 60 presidents of Fortune 500 companies.

More than 40 state-of-the-art private jets landed at Pudong International Airport in one day. This is an unprecedented luxury scene. You know, this was unimaginable before. After all, China is a country with very strict air control. Although there are not a few people who have the ability to own a private jet, it is difficult to obtain a flight permit.

In the past two years, the Chinese economy has not only withstood the continuous impact of Soros and the Asian financial turmoil, but also maintained a steady growth rate. The softening of the economy has made the entire world very surprised. I want to see China with my own eyes.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger applauded China from a historical perspective. He said that the U.S. has only two hundred years of history, while China has five thousand years. The Chinese believe that their history is at least 4,800 years without the participation of the United States.

Chief No. 1 personally attended the meeting and gave a speech at the opening banquet. He said that tonight we are in the 6jiazui area of ​​Pudong, Shanghai. Six years ago, there were still some rudimentary houses and farmland, and now it is a financial and trading area full of high-rise buildings. He went to university in Shanghai more than 50 years ago, and he had a deep feeling about the poverty and backwardness of old China and the decline of the country. It was at that time that I was determined to dedicate my life to the great cause of building an independent, free, democratic, unified, and prosperous new China, and I have been struggling to this day.

This year’s Fortune Annual Conference is also the highest-level international conference hosted by Shanghai. Since the establishment of the Pudong strategy, the appearance of the largest city in the Far East has changed with each passing day. To this year, the inner ring and outer ring are elevated, Yangpu, Nanpu and Lupu Bridges. A series of major projects such as the No. 2 subway, Pudong Airport, Century Avenue, Pudong Avenue and China’s tallest building, Jin Mao Tower, have all been completed or are close to completion.

The holding of this annual meeting means that Shanghai has once again returned to the ranks of an important global financial center.

The performance of more than two hundred Chinese entrepreneurs who attended the meeting was also very excited. After all, this was the first international business feast. For many people, an admission ticket seemed to mean a global ticket.

"Chinese companies have a long way to go if they want to enter the forefront of the world." Fan Wuyao said when talking to several entrepreneurs around him about the future exhibition.

Just last month’s "Fortune" magazine, the annual selection of the world’s top 500 companies announced that there are five Chinese companies on the list, namely Sinopec, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Bank of China, Sinochem and COFCO. They are all national monopoly enterprises.

Therefore, whether more Chinese companies can enter the top 500 list in the shortest time has become a topic of most concern to local entrepreneurs. They see the annual meeting as a stage for taking oaths, and it feels like acting to foreigners.

It can be said that in the United States, whether to enter the top 500 may affect the direction of the company's stocks and the salary of managers, while for Chinese companies, the complex of the top 500 includes the life value and national responsibility of entrepreneurs.

Fan Wubing always believes that, in terms of the current situation of Chinese companies, even if it takes another ten years to truly reach the level of the world's top 500 companies, there is still a certain gap.

After all, the world's top 500 companies do not only look at economic aggregates, but also look at corporate culture, inherent development potential, and ability to adapt to market changes. This goal cannot be achieved solely by relying on a monopoly of the market.

Monopoly has no future. Only competition can continuously promote the healthy and effective development of the entire industry.

However, after Fan Wubing stayed in Shanghai for half a month, a real global ticket was finally successfully pre-sold.

On November 15th, China and the United States formally reached an agreement, and the United States expressed support for China's entry.

From 1982, when China participated as a special observer at the ministerial meeting organized by the predecessor of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, it took more than ten years to formally submit an application for customs reinstatement in 1986. China has been working hard to apply to join this international economic cooperation organization, and the United States, which protects its own interests, has always been the biggest obstacle.

As early as two years ago, China had completed all important multilateral negotiations with the exception of the United States, but Sino-US negotiations have experienced twists and turns. The United States put forward a series of harsh market opening lists, which were rejected by China.

Just when many international public opinions have been very disappointed in the Sino-US negotiations, the agreement has been reached dramatically. Perhaps all the great moments are full of drama. For more than one hundred years, the Chinese have been trying to integrate into the global economy in an active and equal role. In the last year of the 20th century, the Chinese finally got this ticket.

After the Sino-U.S. negotiation reached an agreement, high-level officials held a reception. The negotiators at the time and the relevant personnel who had worked hard for the negotiation were invited. Fan Wubing is of great importance to the domestic and foreign economies. Influential people, of course, were invited to appear at the reception as guests.

During the banquet, No. 1 Chief and Boss Zhu happily clinked glasses with Fan Wubian and said many happy words.

However, Fan Wubing’s mood is more complicated. Although China has obtained the most critical vote for entry, the problems that follow are also quite tricky. In order to get this vote, the Chinese have paid a lot for it. cost.

The first is that within twelve years after accession, other member states can charge high taxes or non-tariff barriers on Chinese products, and the second is anti-dumping investigations. Within fifteen years of accession, other member states can implement anti-dumping on Chinese products. Survey, the survey does not have to be based on the average cost of the surveyed country itself, but can be based on the average price of a third country. The third is to conduct an annual review of China every year.

After all, Western countries have implemented differential treatment for China, and have not accepted the rise of this eastern power from the bottom of their hearts, nor have they planned to recognize China's market economy status.

In fact, when discussing the pros and cons of China’s accession to the World Trade Organization, many scholars predicted that the first ten years would do more harm than good, and the next ten years would have more advantages than harm. The price paid by the WTO has certain psychological expectations.

However, the later reality that Fan Wubing learned was that nearly ten years after China joined the World Trade Organization, there have been constant anti-dumping and countervailing disputes, and it has not really improved transaction efficiency and lowered transaction costs.

In the final analysis, the World Trade Organization is an international trade coordination organization established by Western Darfur countries as the United States in order to adapt to the trend of world trade shows and protect their own interests. It aims to protect the vested interests of Darfur countries and promote financial service trade and Intellectual property trade negotiations, however, the World Trade Organization has to stipulate the basic principles of fair trade in the General Regulations, imagine all WTO members as market economy countries, and conduct trade negotiations based on this.

It is a pity that China failed to gain market economy status for itself during the negotiations on joining the World Trade Organization. Therefore, China's entry into the World Trade Organization is not to go to a banquet as a friend, nor to amend trade rules as a host.

Since China has not won the most basic rights, China can neither become a guest at the banquet of Western countries, nor can it modify the rules of the World Trade Organization. After China’s accession to the World Trade Organization, instead of reducing anti-dumping and anti-subsidy lawsuits, since China has become a member of the World Trade Organization, other World Trade Organization members can close their doors and follow the rules of the World Trade Organization and even China’s bilateral accession to the World Trade Organization. The protocol has fought against China.

so. When we look back and reanalyze the World Trade Organization after many years, people will realize that the core value of the World Trade Organization is actually a market economy. If it has not achieved market economy status, then China’s accession to the World Trade Organization will not What a meaning.

Of course, whether it was the participants at the "Fortune" annual conference or many domestic scholars, most people did not expect this result, but Fan Wubing looked on with cold eyes and saw the huge hidden dangers in it. Also noticed the high-level efforts on this issue.

At least, I did not hesitate to accept one-third of New Zealand's wool sales in exchange for New Zealand's recognition of China's market economy status and to open a gap in the trade barriers of Western countries against China.

In this sense, the toast between No. 1 Chief and Boss Zhu is totally affordable.

"I suddenly realized that the responsibility on my body is very heavy." Fan Wubing drank some bitter red wine in his glass, and said to boss Zhu, "This French product is really not authentic. It's better to drink from Xinjiang." Sweet wine is enjoyable."

"International law." Boss Zhu replied to Fan Wuyi, and then continued his previous words, "It is very important to see how far China's economy can grow in the next ten or twenty years. If it catches up. After that, it will be smoother since then. Although it can not be a smooth journey, we can still see the step-by-step exhibition. If this opportunity is lost, the gap between us and the world's largest countries will become larger and larger."

"I believe that the next ten years will be the golden ten years of the National Economic Exhibition. I have never doubted about this." Fan Wubing thought of many things in the ten years and couldn't help but said with emotion, "Maybe we still There are many twists and turns, many tribulations, and many challenges. But we will eventually overcome those difficulties one by one and catch up."

"Hehe, listening to the predictions of our master Xiaofan makes me feel more confident than listening to the predictions of economists." Boss Zhu laughed immediately after listening.

Since Fan Wubing’s dreams and predictions about the earthquake in Taiwan at the wedding became true, Master Fan’s name has become even louder. Today Boss Zhu is in a good mood and took this to make a joke on him.

But speaking of it, Boss Zhu really pays more attention to Fan Wubing's opinions. This guy is very precise in many things, which makes people feel very surprised. It can only be said that things are like a god.

In fact, Fan Wubing also knows this very well. Although it is not advisable to make shocking speeches frequently, he occasionally expresses his views in a high-level manner, and then confirms his views, in order to establish his mystery in the eyes of the world. A superior position is still very helpful for him to continue to maintain his current dominant influence.

Although he did not have the idea of ​​being a sacred stick, he can subtly deepen people’s blind obedience to him. The benefits are many. At least when he puts forward a seemingly exaggerated viewpoint, everyone will habitually consider it seriously. Fan, instead of pointing to his nose to say anything about fantasy, this is the effect he is looking forward to.

Fan Wubing wandered around the hall and was stopped several times on the way. Except for a few well-dressed young and beautiful rich girls who wanted to strike up a conversation with him and make friends, UU看书www .uukanshu.com is some elites in various industries, and everyone wants to get some useful information from him.

Although Fan Wubing didn’t like this very much, Fan Wubing still tried his best to provide them with some help for some of the problems they raised. No disease can easily find those weaknesses in their ideas, and then pick them out and judge them one by one. This makes those who come to confirm it has gained a lot, and those who come to ask for advice suddenly become enlightened, and they all admire Fan Wuyi's five-body.

After staying here for a while, Fan Wubing felt that he could not go on like this. Otherwise, the girls who were listening next to him would not even be able to move their legs. Now in their eyes, basically The above are all heart-shaped that can be seen.

Judging from the exchanges tonight, most domestic entrepreneurs still lack sufficient self-confidence, which has led to them not being able to seriously discuss the development direction of their companies in many cases, and their companies really need What is it, but to pursue foreign judgment standards, although those standards may not conform to the domestic market, this is what makes Fan Wuyao feel more regretful.

As a big country that needs to rise from the encirclement of countries around the world, it is not a good thing to follow the standards of others.
