Chapter 693 American Revenge

Chang Haonan, who did not directly participate in the negotiations, received the complete version of the agreement between the two parties only a few hours late.

This time it was not Ding Gaoheng who gave it to him.

 As a professional with extensive experience in dealing with the EU, Yang Huimei participated in the entire negotiation process.

Although the terms of the agreement are very long and contain many details, the core conditions can be summarized in just a few points:

European Aerospace Group has promised to start final assembly qualification certification for China within two years. Construction will officially start after approval. The EU will not impose compensatory taxes on this project and will provide necessary policy conveniences.

In addition, Germany, France and Italy pledged to fully support China's accession to the World Trade Organization. Even if the negotiation process is blocked due to external factors, the three countries will provide China with the most-favored-nation treatment equal to that of WTO members before December 1999, and in 2002 This treatment will be extended to the entire EU by December next year.

China, on the other hand, promised that in the next five years, no less than 50% of EU trade will be settled in euros, and agreed to reduce the business scope involved in the Asian assembly center. The first phase of the project will only include one series of A320 aircraft. As well as orders from China and Southeast Asia (except Singapore), access restrictions in multiple fields will also be opened to EU countries on an equal basis.

 Simply put, regardless of whether China joins the WTO in a legal sense, both sides will treat each other in accordance with the conditions of WTO members.

 It is a yes to be treated as a public servant.

As for other contents, it can be regarded as written by the internal departments of both sides that have trade needs.

For example, the "computer software and related technical services" project, even if there are similar carriers such as CDs, it still enjoys zero-tariff treatment. It is obviously added for Chang Haonan's sake.

 “The result of the negotiation was reached so soon?”

Chang Haonan looked at the thick agreement in front of him with shock in his eyes.

It's the kind that used to appear in the eyes of other people across from him -

　　It is indeed too fast.

 This speed is almost equivalent to taking three years to build a turbofan 10.

 The person opposite is the European who loves red tape the most...

“We have common interests with the Europeans on the matter of not letting the euro collapse, at least not too quickly. So, in fact, from the very beginning, the two sides were talking with their cards on the table.”

Yang Huimei obviously didn't get much rest these days. She sat on the sofa beside Chang Haonan's office and rubbed her forehead while saying:

"Actually, if the euro's exchange rate can fall a little slower, I guess it will take some time to reach a consensus, and Europeans are not that easy to talk to."

"Based on my previous experience, their mentality when negotiating with us is actually very awkward. On the one hand, they know that there are benefits to cooperating with us, so they have to sit down and have a good talk, but on the other hand, they like to put on airs and feel like sitting down Negotiating is bowing to a developing country..."

This mentality is a bit difficult for Yang Huimei, but in Chang Haonan's view, it's not a big deal.

 Just pretend that the person facing you is captured by the orcs...

Although I say no, my body is very honest...

 Ahem, that's probably what it feels like.

 After a brief pause, Yang Huimei continued to add:

"Moreover, just a few days ago, when we first started to contact the Europeans, I heard that the Americans also offered a price, saying that they could relax the conditions for industry access rules during the WTO accession negotiations, especially no longer requiring China has fully liberalized access restrictions in the fields of telecommunications and agriculture.”

Hearing this, Chang Haonan couldn't help but sneered:

“This is obviously playing cards out of thin air. The sincerity is far worse than that of the Europeans. They didn't even say how much they would relax. If we go to talk to the other party and delay for a while, the euro may really collapse..."

While speaking, he stood up and went to the small table next to him, made Yang Huimei a cup of tea, and placed it in front of her.

 After all, others have benefited a lot from the Torch Group during the negotiation process, and now that they are so exhausted, they cannot just let it go.

 “Creating cards in the void…”

Yang Huimei picked up the cup and blew on it while recalling the word she heard for the first time:

“This is a very vivid statement. It's nothing but nothing, but it's still very useful as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with the Europeans. Because of this, one of our delegations that was originally scheduled to go to the United States at the beginning of the month has been postponed.”

"However, after the euro fell below 1.0100 three days ago, both sides felt that the problem was serious and could not drag it out any longer, so they each took a step back. Anyway, the content of the agreement was already written in detail before the talks began. The last step is to modify a few key numbers and add a few insignificant pieces of content, which is very fast.”

Chang Haonan raised his head and looked at the perpetual calendar.

  April 15th.

 Compared to the previous generation, the speed of the euro's decline this time is indeed a bit exaggerated. “When will it be officially announced?”

“At five o'clock this afternoon Beijing time, which is noon on the European side, the market is still in a wait-and-see mood. If the news is released, the exchange rate should be restored in the afternoon.”

Yang Huimei lowered her head and took a sip of water:

“Actually, the original plan was for tomorrow morning, but the EU probably doesn't want to wait for more than an hour…”

“Speaking of which, from a professional point of view, can our support really reverse the decline of the euro?”

Although Chang Haonan proposed a plan to help the euro in exchange for conditions from the beginning, he actually has no systematic knowledge of finance, so he is really unable to do quantitative judgment.

Facing this question, Yang Huimei hesitated for a while, but finally nodded:

“During the break in negotiations, I asked representatives from the central bank. They thought that there would be no problem in the short term, but if chaos continues in the Balkans, the euro will always be in big trouble in the long run.”

 “This long term refers to…”

“Depending on the destructiveness of Allied action.”

Yang Huimei regained her energy a little, sat up straight and replied:

“If it really lasts for a few months or even a year, even the gods will not be able to save the euro..."

“And not only the war itself, but also other subsequent problems will have an adverse impact on Europe's economic stability. Among other things, the economic and moral pressure on future post-war reconstruction and refugee reception will definitely fall on the EU.”

“After all, if we really want to trace the source, they themselves started this round of things, and the Americans just came to wipe their **** and make peace…”

Chang Haonan shook his head, not knowing how to evaluate it.

If it weren't for the fact that both sides now have a common interest in fighting the US dollar, he would just want to say—

 What a death, you really deserve it.

Seeing that Chang Haonan did not speak, Yang Huimei was silent for a while and then continued:

"However, after all, this kind of follow-up impact is scattered over a few years. At present, what we are more worried about is whether it will arouse overly intense protests from the Americans after the agreement is made public. reaction, and how to respond.”

“Including clauses specifically included in the agreement regarding the obstruction of WTO accession negotiations, it is also to prevent the other party from intending to retaliate against us in this matter.”

 After all, the world's most powerful country can be looked down upon strategically, but tactically it must still be respected enough.

"There's nothing you can do about it...this kind of thing is a fundamental conflict of interest."

Chang Haonan sat back behind his desk, half leaning on the chair and said:

"If we seek peace through struggle, we will survive peacefully; if we seek peace through concessions, we will perish peacefully. Joining the WTO is indeed beneficial to us, but if we abandon the bottom line principle in order to join the WTO, it will probably be counterproductive and further encourage the other side to speak loudly. In the end, even if If we add it, we will end up like Mexico in the North American Free Trade Area.”

He was chatting with Yang Huimei about the negotiations with Europe, but his mind had already begun to think about some content that was not convenient to say.

 As a reborn person, he knows very well that the EU's information is basically one-way and transparent to the United States.

 As for the signing of the agreement between the two parties, the latter may have received relevant news a few days ago.

Of course, even Chang Haonan could not have imagined that the outcome could be reached so quickly, and the Americans would most likely be caught off guard.

 So the other side's current preparations are not so much retaliation as they are beating.

 It's just that the matter was finished here before I had time to knock.

But in any case, if the other party is preparing to cause obstacles in the WTO accession negotiations, then the negotiations are currently underway, and news should have come back long ago.

Since there has been no movement so far, it means that the Americans' actions are most likely not on trade.

  But it takes longer to prepare.

In this case…

 I can only hope that my preparations so far will be effective...
