"Panhan Group?"

He seemed to have heard this name in his mind, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Feng Yongwen thought about it, looked up and down at Zhou Shuo's appearance, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "It's Fanhan Group!"

Mr. Hu smiled with satisfaction and nodded, "Fanhan Group is a signboard of our China in the electronics manufacturing industry! Minister Feng is knowledgeable and shows that his business is proficient."

"Hi, if I don't even know about Fanhan Group, what else should this deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation be? I remember that in 2000, the total amount of electronic products exported by Fanhan Group should be around US$8 billion, right?"

"8 billion US dollars." Zhou Shuo smiled reservedly and nodded in response.

"It's not easy. Not to mention the high-tech electronic manufacturing industry, even the resource-based exports of energy, steel and minerals, no enterprise has achieved this scale. The export quota of Fanhan Group is definitely worthwhile in China."

Feng Yongwen looked Zhou Shuo up and down as if he was visiting a panda. He couldn't help but be surprised. Is such a powerful enterprise in the hands of such a young man?

This is really incredible.

"The achievements made by Fanhan Group are inseparable from the rapid development of our country over the years, and are even more inseparable from the correct leadership of the country. Without a foundation with complete domestic categories and rich talents, Fanhan Group is nothing."

"Humility, excessive humility is hypocrisy!" Feng Yongwen laughed and said, "Sit down, Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhou, please sit down."

Feng Yongwen brewed a cup of tea for the two of them and personally served the tea table. Mr. Hu first glanced at him, then glanced at Zhou Shuo, and picked up the tea cup with satisfaction.

Mr. Hu knew that what he played was actually just a recommendation. As the saying goes, the tea was cold. Before he retired, he was just a minister of the Ministry of Electronics Industry. He was on par with the Minister of Foreign Trade and Economics, but his importance to the State Council is not as important as others.

As for his previous status and achievements, it makes no sense to talk about it now.

Feng Yongwen was willing to see him, and he was quite polite in his attitude, which was already very considerate. His current energy is not only a matter of power, but also in order to avoid suspicion, and he cannot exert any more influence.

In this case, Feng Yongwen could still serve a cup of tea himself. That was very rare. Some of this was based on Zhou Shuo's face and how much it was based on his own face. It was hard to say.

"Mr. Zhou wants to manage a company as big as Fanhan Group, so there must be a lot of things? People say that they will not enter the Three Treasure Hall without any trouble. I don't think we can go straight to the point?"

Feng Yongwen was not polite, and knew that the main owner today was definitely not Mr. Hu, so he came to Zhou Shuo directly.

"Then I'll just say it."

Zhou Shuo was also surprised by Feng Yongwen's pragmatism. He didn't deal with senior officials much, and in his impression he was still the leisurely image of an agency cadre like Xiucheng in his early years.

But for the main officials at the provincial and ministerial level, even in the city and prefecture, it is not a big mistake to say that they are busy with things every day. Of course, there must be those who are negligent in their duties, but most of them are very busy in their daily work.

Feng Yongwen doesn’t know how many major things he has to deal with every day, but it is a normal thing to go straight to the point. He may delay many things when he greets others.

Zhou Shuo calmed down and nodded and said, "Does Secretary Feng know that the US House of Representatives Intelligence Committee recently held a hearing on our Pan-Han Group?"

"Oh? I really don't understand. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should be clearer about this kind of thing, right?"

"Yes, probably there is relevant information in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, we don't have too much contact with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Zhou Shuo sighed and said, "Even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is concerned, there is no way to do this. To be honest, our country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no diplomacy! There is no trivial matter in diplomacy! If you really want to leave the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this matter may be troublesome."

"Tell me, what's going on?" Feng Yongwen's interest was raised and he asked curiously.

"Previously, the US Congress held a hearing to investigate our Pan-Han Group, believing that our network equipment may threaten the national security of the United States."

"You? Threat the national security of the United States?" Feng Yongwen looked at Zhou Shuo in surprise, obviously ten thousand people didn't believe it: "It's not that I look down on you Fanhan Group, but how could a Chinese company threaten the national security of the United States? You don't have such great ability, right?"

Zhou Shuo smiled bitterly and nodded, "Minister Feng is right! What kind of virtue can my Panhan Group threaten the world's largest country?"

"The key here is actually the market competition between us and American network equipment manufacturer Cisco. Since three years ago, Panhan Group competed with Cisco for the European and Chinese network equipment markets. Last year, we have achieved a phased victory. Cisco in the United States lost most of the market share in Europe and China. So in order to prevent us from gaining the US market, Cisco completely forced Cisco to death, which encouraged the US Congress to conduct such an investigation."

Zhou Shuo said what happened at the hearing in its entirety, especially because he was suspected slandered because of the party committee organization in the Panhan Group, and even said it more seriously.

The existence of party committees in this company is stipulated in the Chinese Company Law, and Secretary Feng Yongwen is of course very clear. The US Congress uses this as a basis and suspects that the Pan-Han Group may be detrimental to US national security. This is slapping China in the face!

Especially the political issues involved in this, no official can ignore them.

If Americans today use this as a reason to reject the goods of a Chinese company into the US market, will every company organized by a party committee not be able to enter the US in the future?

Even if it is impossible to stop everything crazy, the Americans will be able to take this big hammer and hit anyone they want, and they will definitely not be able to bear it.

What if the export volume of Fanhan Group of more than 8 billion US dollars last year is affected and it loses more than 1 billion US dollars? Even if there is not so much more than 1 billion now, who knows if there will be so much in the future?

Think about the export data of Fanhan Group three years ago. In 1998, it was only more than US$2 billion, which was the result of advance funding for Telfort. But in 1999, Fanhan Group's export volume soared to more than US$4 billion. By 2000, the annual export volume reached US$8 billion!

In 2001, how much will the export volume of Fanhan Group be? No one knows whether it can maintain a miracle of 100% growth.

But the development momentum of Fanhan Group is expected, and the export volume of more than 10 billion US dollars will reach one day. Who can feel sorry for such a hen that lays golden eggs? Seeing the Americans so unreasonable and slutty, Feng Yongwen was simply furious as a senior Chinese official.

But after all, he also had a scheming man as a politician, and listened quietly to Zhou Shuo's lecture and finished the hearing process.

He thought for a while and then asked, "Mr. Zhou, I need you to tell me the truth. Is there any problem with your network equipment?"

Zhou Shuo looked serious and shook his head decisively: "Minister Feng is a provincial and ministerial leader. I think there should be no problem with the secret level. To be honest, our Panhan Group does have some cooperation with the troops. But that is an independent project. You can understand the specific content yourself. I can only say that there is absolutely no problem with the equipment we export to the United States!"

"Well, that's good." Feng Yongwen breathed a sigh of relief and then got to the point: "I will arrange for people to understand this matter. As the competent department of China's import and export trade, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation must take its own responsibility. Apart from normal procedures, I wonder what other suggestions Mr. Zhou has?"

The so-called normal procedure is probably to write about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade expressed the concerns of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and they were just protesting. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no binding force on the United States, but it is still a bit deterrent when it is put at home. The idea of ​​diplomacy that has always been in the domestic system has penetrated into the domestic system and cannot suppress the voice of the United States, and it is fine, because they are afraid that they will shut up in the country.

In 2001, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not have a spokesperson named Qin.

Feng Yongwen asked Zhou Shuo "what else would you suggest", which means what you want us to do. He knew that Zhou Shuo would definitely come prepared for this.

Sure enough, Zhou Shuo hesitated for a moment and said, "I think this approach by Americans can be regarded as trade discrimination. If this can be used as a reason, import restrictions on American products will be imposed, I don't know..."

"You are provoking a trade war..." Feng Yongwen's face looked a little ugly and waved his hand: "Have you considered the political and economic turmoil that arises?"

Zhou Shuo was stunned. He didn't expect such a big impact. In his mind, he was thinking about the era when China joined WTO a few years later, and Chinese manufacturing swept the world, and the Chinese people were domineering in the world to fight trade wars.

Do you dare to investigate my anti-dumping in the EU? I will increase your luxury tax! Americans say that our solar industry has subsidies? Okay, let’s talk about importing corn.

Zhou Shuo has done a lot of things like this kind of frontal gong and drum in front of him! What’s wrong with the trade war? If you want to fight, you can fight!

But he forgot that in that era, he had money in his country and was not panicked, so he certainly dared to fight a trade war. But this was the era when China had not joined WTO before China joined WTO, and China was still not even a regional power.

In Feng Yongwen's heart, China has initiated a trade war against the United States, and this is really too big!
