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 wasn't Ding Gaoheng who gave it to him.

Instead, Yang Huimei, as a professional with rich experience in dealing with the EU, 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:

The European Aerospace Group has promised to start final assembly qualification certification for China within two years. Once approved, construction will officially begin. 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 12 This treatment will be extended to the entire EU by December next year.

China has promised that in the next five years, no less than 50% of EU trade will be settled in euros, and has agreed to reduce the business scope of 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.

To put it simply, 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.

Seeing that Chang Haonan did not speak, Yang Huimei remained 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.”

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..."

Therefore, the other party's current preparation is not so much revenge as it is beating.

"Furthermore, 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.”

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

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

"This is a very vivid statement. It's nothing but nothing, but it is 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."

Just pretend that the other person was captured by the orcs...

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..."

"This long-term refers to..."

Although Chang Haonan proposed a plan to help the euro in exchange for conditions from the beginning, he actually did not have systematic financial knowledge, so he was really unable to do quantitative judgment.

"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."

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

Regarding the signing of the agreement between the two parties, the latter probably received relevant news a few days ago.

"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 party 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.”

The kind that often appeared in the eyes of other people across from him in the past——

"Creating cards in the void..."

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..."

Chang Haonan looked up at the perpetual calendar.

After all, others have also benefited a lot from the Torch Group during the negotiation process, and now that they are so tired, they can no longer leave it alone.

It's really too fast.

While talking, 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.

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.

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 damn, you deserved it.

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

Rather, it takes longer to prepare.

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

Faced with 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 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."

He was chatting with Yang Huimei about negotiations with Europe, but his mind had already begun to think about some content that was inconvenient to say.

"Speaking of which, from a professional point of view, can our support really reverse the decline of the euro this time?"

"Depending on the destructiveness of Allied actions."

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

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

But no matter what, if the other party is preparing to stumble on the WTO accession negotiations, then the negotiations are currently underway, and news should have been sent back long ago.

After a short pause, Yang Huimei continued to add:

Compared with the previous life, the speed of the euro's decline this time is indeed a bit exaggerated.

"When will it be officially announced?"

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ahem, that's probably what it feels like.

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

Opposite us are Europeans who love red tape the most...

Although he said no, his body was very honest...

"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 butts and make peace..."

4 month 15 day.

"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."

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

"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.”

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

"In fact, 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."

"The result will be reached so soon?"

"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..."

In this case……

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