Chapter 337 invitation to the United States

In recent days, it has been a milestone period for the whole world's automobile market. Dongchen has been pushing forward in the automobile market like an armored vehicle, but even though other enterprises have suffered a great impact, no one has really surrendered. However, the defection of Japanese and Korean enterprises has put other automobile manufacturers in danger.

Among the overseas automobile manufacturers, except GM, which has been relieved completely and jumped out of the cruel battlefield, all the others are waiting for the arrival of the final decisive battle in their hearts, and there is no doubt that no one will survive the decisive battle except Dongchen.

After several years of ups and downs, EU economies have now reached a very fragile stage. They are very sensitive to the international financial market. There are a large number of European automobile manufacturers, especially Germany and foreign Geely. Dongchen's impact on the European automobile market has also hit the European automobile market very hard. Seeing that GM has started to produce Dongchen's automobile, the EU also has in mind Yes, the time has come.

All European car manufacturers have shrunk the market to the greatest extent, but they are unable to resist Dongchen's invasion at their own door.

The international financial market is a very sensitive spider web. Take the trade between China and the EU. If the EU doesn't follow the normal pattern of licensing, but imposes illegal restrictions on Dongchen's cars, it will not only affect Dongchen's enterprises, but also the bilateral trade between China and the EU as a whole. China will also take disciplinary measures in other areas of trade, so that the EU may But what they lose may be the whole trade with China.

In recent years, the EU economy has been in a state of continuous decline. They can not afford the trade war without gunpowder, especially in the face of such a huge market as China. Therefore, the EU gave Dongchen permission to enter the European market. However, the EU is not willing to open the door and wait for the other side's armored vehicles to rush in.

The European Union has held many seminars on Dongchen. Because Dongchen has obtained more than 7 million annual production capacity from GM, the European Union has little doubt about the possibility of Dongchen's military invasion in a short period of time. In order to avoid a positive war to the greatest extent, the best mediating Europeans immediately think of the United States.

Subsequently, the U.S. Department of Commerce sent an invitation to the Ministry of Commerce of China. The intention was that China and the United States would have a purely economic meeting in XX without any political elements.

The meeting of the two-sided Ministry of Commerce has not been once or twice. The so-called "no political elements" means that the content of the meeting is limited to normal bilateral trade. Once such a signal is sent, the two sides know that they will not discuss any sensitive topics, such as export blockade and economic sanctions, when they meet.

In the past bilateral trade meetings, there will always be entrepreneurs from both countries to join in, and then the bilateral Ministry of Commerce will bring them together to seek new and broader trade cooperation, this time no exception.

The U.S. Department of Commerce made it clear that it would like to invite the person in charge of Dongchen group to visit the United States with the officials of the Ministry of Commerce of China. However, the Ministry of Commerce of China did not immediately agree or refuse, but replied to the other party. The matter requires the consent of Dongchen group.

When Xu Hui, the head of the China cooperation alliance of the Ministry of Commerce, contacted Zhang Yunfeng, Zhang Yunfeng almost agreed without any hesitation.

Xu Hui did not expect Zhang Yunfeng to be so straightforward, so he asked with a smile, "president Zhang, this time, which leader of Dongchen group are you going to the United States with the group?"

Zhang Yunfeng said, "I'll go myself."

"You go in person?" This surprised Xu Hui. He thought that with Zhang Yunfeng's character, he didn't like to be involved in many political official activities. This was also known by the senior management.

Senior leaders have always been very sensitive to Dongchen. Judging from the cooperation with the government during this period of time, senior leaders can basically draw a conclusion that Zhang Yunfeng is willing to cooperate fully with the country in business, but he wanders carefully outside politics. Therefore, senior leaders also understand and appreciate his psychology very much, so they have not taken the initiative to take the East Chen is more tied to the government.

It's because of this sense of smell from the senior management that the government departments have been encouraging those who have contact with Zhang Yunfeng to try not to drag Dongchen into the political activities, and Xu Hui is not willing to touch the mold, so he thought at first that Zhang Yunfeng arranged a management of Dongchen to come here at will, which is very reasonable in face, but he never thought of it Yunfeng even said he would go there in person without hesitation.

Then, Zhang Yunfeng's words made Xu Hui even more surprised and confused. Zhang Yunfeng said, "by the way, director Xu, I'd like to ask you to make a statement with the U.S. side. I hope you can meet the directors of Qualcomm and Texas Instruments at this meeting."

Qualcomm and Texas Instruments are two famous chip and semiconductor design and manufacturing companies in the United States. They are different from Intel, which is also famous in the world. Most of Intel's business is in PC chip manufacturing. Qualcomm and Texas Instruments have been focusing on chip research and development of mobile devices.

Zhang Yunfeng proposed to meet the directors of Qualcomm and Texas Instruments. Is Zhang Yunfeng interested in mobile device chips?

.

Xu Hui is not a person who knows science and technology very well. He just thinks that Zhang Yunfeng must meet the heads of the two enterprises for some purpose. However, he is not willing to think more about what it is. When he agrees, he says, "I will contact the people of the U.S. Department of commerce as soon as possible. I think there should be no problem."

"That's good." Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "if the US side is certain, please let the director general inform you."

Without delay, Xu Hui immediately contacted the contact person at the U.S. Department of Commerce and put forward Zhang Yunfeng's intention for the meeting. The U.S. Department of commerce also needs to consult the intention of the two enterprises respectively. One day later, the U.S. sent a clear and affirmative reply. The CEOs of the two enterprises expressed their willingness to participate in the meeting.

Both China and the United States attached great importance to this meeting, and because of Dongchen, a sensitive factor, the two sides entered the rapid preparation stage. A large list of 25 leaders, staff and 13 entrepreneurs from the Ministry of Commerce of the people's Republic of China was soon drawn up. Zhang Yunfeng also received the news. Three days later, all the members of the delegation gathered in Yanjing, Take a chartered flight from the Ministry of Commerce to XX, USA.

The reason why the Americans organized this business meeting is that the European Union hopes that the United States can mediate and influence the dialogue between the European Union and China, mainly the dialogue between EU automobile manufacturers and Dongchen.

Zhang Yunfeng didn't know that there would be members of the European Union in the meeting, and even the head of the Ministry of Commerce of China didn't receive the news from the Americans. The plane took off from Yanjing and flew directly to XX, the capital of the United States.

The U.S. Department of commerce does not work in the White House, but in the Hoover building in XX. This time, the White House's attitude is the same as that of the Chinese government, to make sure that this meeting is a pure business meeting as much as possible. Therefore, no one in the white house directly participates in this matter.

As soon as the delegation's plane landed, a brief welcome ceremony was held at the airport. Because this was a business dialogue between the two countries, Zhang Yunfeng couldn't wear a cap, sunglasses and mask like the previous recording of topgear. This time, Zhang Yunfeng wore a slim black suit and a light blue shirt, which was quite the style of a young entrepreneur He holds the title of executive assistant of CEO of Dongchen group.

The welcome ceremony was not complicated. It was just walking on the red carpet. Representatives of both sides stood in line to shake hands with each other, asked the media to take some videos and photos, and then the biggest leaders of both sides made a short speech of less than three minutes each.

.

Zhang Yunfeng has little communication with these people. On the one hand, there is not much interaction between the two sides. On the other hand, the other side does not take Zhang Yunfeng seriously. After all, even though Dongchen is a huge group, an executive assistant of CEO is really not worthy of being a leader of these big enterprises.

The meeting lasted for five days. After Zhang Yunfeng got on the bus, the leader of China got the specific itinerary documents of the US Department of Commerce, and then sent several documents for circulation.

Zhang Yunfeng took a look at the documents. It's three o'clock in the afternoon, so they just arranged a simple meeting and joint press conference in the afternoon.

There will be a business banquet at 7 p.m. to meet the business delegation of China. Tomorrow morning, even if the meeting really starts, all representatives of both sides will attend the meeting. The first day's meeting will not be open to the media.

In general, few people will disclose the real core content of the meeting to the media. The clips that can be published by the general media are all non nutritious and polite scenes. The day after tomorrow, the Ministry of Commerce will arrange a delegation of China to enter the White House. On the one hand, it will visit the White House. On the other hand, it will hold a larger-scale meeting in the White House. This meeting will only involve more entrepreneurs, The white house itself is not involved.

The reason why the Americans moved out of the White House is to show that they attach great importance to this meeting, and Zhang Yunfeng did not take it seriously.

When the bus arrived at the Department of Commerce, the square in front of the building was full of news media vehicles. When they got off the bus, they walked into the office of the Department of Commerce of the United States under the attack of long guns and short guns of the world media.

Charles, the Secretary of Commerce of the United States, led the group to the largest meeting room. This meeting was allowed to be filmed by the media.

The first project is to arrange the meeting and handshake between the members of the delegations of both sides, basically in line to shake hands one by one. At this meeting, all members of the meeting in the United States are here, including jack, CEO of Qualcomm. Andrew, and Ben, CEO of Texas Instruments. Gilberto.

Zhang Yunfeng sat down in an inconspicuous corner of the porcelain delegation, but the Chinese and English identity signs in front of him betrayed him
