- The U.S. government is boiling again.
They were already having a hard time, but the Chinese government made things worse.
On Friday, August 19th, Eastern Time, the Ministry of Commerce of China held a press briefing and announced that it would launch a double-counterfeit investigation into the cars exported to China by the three major American automobile companies, Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler. If the double-refugee investigation is established, Then the tax will be increased by at least 150%-300%.
In addition, based on reports, China's Ministry of Commerce will launch a technology monopoly investigation, a malicious sales price restriction investigation, and a repair parts price manipulation investigation into the domestic joint ventures of the three major U.S. auto companies in China. If confirmed, they will Issue hefty fines.
While the meeting was taking place here, the joint ventures of the three major automobile companies, Capital, Dongfang, Guangdong, Yuzhou, etc., suddenly had a collective visit from the Department of Commerce and tax officials, and immediately blocked their Computers, account books, etc. were then moved all back to the Department of Commerce and the Taxation Bureau.
??This time it has shocked the hearts of people in the American auto industry.
Everyone knows that in the automobile industry, the biggest profit point is no longer the cars sold themselves, but has gradually shifted to after-sales services, repairs, etc.
Someone has done a survey and found that for the top ten automobile manufacturers in the world, if you replace all the parts for after-sales maintenance in China, the price will be between 280% and 540% of the purchase price of the car. It is simply a huge profit. Huge profits!
If you add in the ridiculously expensive working hours, the price will make even foreigners who earn US dollars and Euros feel distressed when they see it.
It is understandable why so many Chinese are willing to buy Japanese cars.
It¡¯s not that they like Japanese cars, but that Japanese cars are durable and can be used smoothly for three to five years as long as there are no accidents. Basically no maintenance is needed.
??Okay, let¡¯s bring the topic back to the present.
The past few years have been difficult for American car companies.
The domestic market is occupied by a large number of Japanese and European cars. The sales of expensive and bulky American cars are declining year by year.
??The Chinese market, with a population of 1.5 billion, is the market that American car companies attach most importance to developing, and they have spent a lot of time in China in recent years.
Although it is still not as good as the public. However, GM and Ford can still stabilize Volkswagen by joining forces. In the past two years, they have even firmly controlled all Japanese companies, contributing a large amount of profits to the parent company.
? In contrast, it is not important for the Chinese government to impose anti-dumping duties and countervailing duties on the export cars of the three major auto companies.
Most of the imported cars purchased by China are high-end imported cars, but these cars are generally owned by Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Porsche and other companies. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler only export less than 50,000 vehicles to China each year.
50,000 cars, so what if it increases by 150%-300%? Not much more!
But the factories of the three major automobile companies in China, not to mention, Dongfang General Motors alone may have sales of 450,000 vehicles this year. If this company is investigated and punished, it will cost General Motors. Old fate!
and. According to the news from China, the Chinese government is preparing to take a murderous step this time. A direct fine of US$10 billion per company would set a record for a single fine in the history of automobiles!
GM and Ford were furious when they heard this, but Chrysler burst into tears: My sales in China are only 50,000 units a year, and you fined me 10 billion U.S. dollars. My ten years of work have been in vain!
The three companies quickly met urgently and could not let the Chinese do this under any circumstances. The government must put pressure on them.
But before they could take action, China's review department had already spread the word. They had a large amount of evidence that confirmed that the three joint venture companies were suspected of having technology monopolies, malicious restrictions on sales prices, and price manipulation of repair parts.
The three car companies immediately weakened their voices and did not dare to put any more pressure on the government.
Because what they said is true.
It¡¯s just like what Yu Chengsheng told Xiao Qi. All car companies are doing the above things. In fact, even car companies in China are doing the same.
But the problem is that there are some things that can be done but cannot be said.
Once you say it, there will be no covering up.
No matter how bold American car companies are, they cannot say something like "Europeans are just like Japanese, why did you only arrest me?" Just like trade sanctions, cheap goods from Southeast Asia, South America and Africa are also sold to the United States. , why do you only target China?
When a country is determined to get rid of you, it won¡¯t work for you to win over anyone! !
¡°If they continue to be tough, once the Chinese government presents the evidence, they will be in trouble and may even go bankrupt.
??According to the Chinese government¡¯s ruthless targeting of American agriculture last time, they do not dare to test the Chinese government¡¯s bottom line.
People are like this, they only point at the soft persimmons and pinch them.
Since there is no way to deal with China thousands of miles away, they can only deal with the domestic government.
So on the morning of Sunday, August 21, 300,000 workers from 11 production bases of the three major American automobile companies held a massive demonstration, demanding that the government resolve this embarrassment faced by the Chinese government. Otherwise, the three major automobile companies would If the car companies collapse, they will sit in front of the government and not leave.
The U.S. government is actually very angry.
The three automobile companies, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, are already struggling due to heavy salary burdens and operating costs.
If the Chinese government tries this again, the three major automobile companies will undoubtedly collapse.
"But you can't say that people are making trouble unreasonably. The facts of this kind of thing are clear. Just like the U.S. government fines Toyota, Honda, and Nissan billions of dollars when it is happy, it is justifiable rip-off.
To this end, Obama, who was in the most intense period of the campaign, asked Niu Ruzheng for information.
Obama and Niu Ruzheng have a good relationship, but Niu Ruzheng still went through a lot of detours before telling Obama the reason.
Entering the second half of this year, Obama¡¯s meteoric rise has become unstoppable. Almost everyone is certain that the next president of the United States will be this black man with a bright smile.
Therefore, Niu Ruzheng also deliberately sold him a favor.
Although in the future everyone will intrigue each other for their own interests, good personal friendship can still play a role in some unimportant things.
But this time it¡¯s not easy for Obama.
The reason is very simple. This time, the main public relations lobbying target of the American business groups wants to put strong pressure on Congress to have the government protest against China and urge them to let the RMB appreciate as soon as possible.
,?
Of course, Obama still reported the matter immediately to see what their final decision was.
However, how could a person with such bad intentions like Xiao Qi allow Americans to take the initiative?
Soon, their candidate came forward.
"It's hard for me to imagine that some people deliberately ignore other voters in order to please some voters. What we should take care of is everyone's interests. No one's sacrifice is deserved. We always have better options. The solution is not to please anyone!¡±
"The last time we dealt with the Chinese, we suffered a loss. As a result, our relationship with the Chinese government has gradually eased. But the efforts we have made in the past few months now seem to be in vain! Because this What a bunch of stupid politicians! I can¡¯t say whether they got any benefits, but this situation is not normal! "
"Think about it, if we allow such a political party to be in power in the next four years, how harmful it will be to us? The economy of the entire United States is in recession, and we still haven't established a good relationship with China and increased exports. , to increase income, and in turn to offend China to death, is simply stupid!¡±
This candidate is just the one who shows up the most,?
, senior congressmen, even George W. Bush jumped out, opening his always big mouth.
They quickly created a series of evidence. On the one hand, they were preparing to accuse these people of talking nonsense. On the other hand, they tried their best to clarify that they were not messing around. The current idea was only in the conceptual stage and had no intention of implementation.
The appreciation of the RMB is indeed what the United States wants, but if Obama loses the election because of this at the critical moment of the presidential election, the RMB will not appreciate no matter how much it appreciates.
,,, and actively contact the Chinese government to ask them not to cause trouble and ruin their good situation.
The economy is not doing well, the financial industry is crumbling, and demonstrations are difficult to control
The already chaotic situation in the United States seems to have become even more chaotic after such back and forth, which seems to confirm that it is a troubled time now! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
