Chapter 637: Secret Mission
Mu Yang looked at the protesters coldly and did not speak. In his heart, he had already made up his mind that the most important thing for him to come to Munich this time was to let these terrorists know that the people who seek revenge were coming.
When he was 10 years old, he lost his mother. These guys said that he used reasonable and legal means to seek independence for the sake of so-called freedom. However, he did the most violent, bloody and inhumane things.
When he arrived at the consulate, Mu Yang met Consul General Zhao Yi, a very capable person, in his forties, when he was young and strong.
Consul General Zhao Yi was very polite to Mu Yang. After all, Mu Yang will be his colleague in the future. As Consul General, Mu Yang is also one of his left and right hands.
In the evening, 13 formal diplomats and some auxiliary staff staying in the museum held a welcoming banquet for Muyang in the cafeteria. In fact, the master cooked a few more dishes, and then each of them had an extra glass of red wine, which was nothing special.
Consul General Zhao Yi welcomed Mu Yang to work at the Munich Consulate, and then asked Mu Yang to say a few words. When Mu Yang went to Houston to work, no one asked him to give an induction speech. However, Mu Yang also learned about the situation of the Munich Consulate General and did his homework in advance.
Mu Yang stood up and said, "First of all, thank you for your greetings, and hope to get everyone's corrections and help in your future work. Before coming, I have also learned about the situation in Bavaria. Many world-renowned companies such as Siemens, BMW, Audi, Allianz and many other well-known companies are the pride of Bavaria. Bayern Munich football team and Munich October Beer Festival are also topics that everyone talks about.
Based on its strong economic and R&D capabilities, Bavaria is the most famous modern science and industrial center in Germany and even in Europe. If the GDP is used as an analysis indicator, compared with other EU member states, Bavaria, as a federal state of Germany, can still rank seventh to eighth in the country rankings in recent years.
We attach great importance to the development of economic and trade relations and cultural exchanges with Bavaria. Today, China is Bavaria's most important trading partner in Asia. The latest statistics show that as the world's second largest trading partner, China is likely to become the first immediately. Shandong Province and Guangdong Province of our country have successively formed friendly provincial and state relations with Bavaria, and economic cooperation is the most fruitful core of this form of cooperation.
The latest development situation also indicates that more and more Chinese companies are coming to Bavaria to invest and do business. Data from the Bavaria Investment Promotion Bureau shows that nearly 100 Chinese companies have invested in Bavaria. Photovoltaic companies such as Weichai, Beijing Yi Machine Tool, Zhejiang Junsheng, Zibo Science and Technology Park, Yingli and Zhongsheng Optoelectronics have successfully settled in Bavaria. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Bank of China have set up branches in Munich, the capital of Bavaria.
The Consulate General of Munich has made its own efforts in these matters. In the future, the Economic and Business Office will continue to follow this road and provide support and services for business exchanges and investment cooperation."
Muyang officially joined the Munich Consulate and was responsible for the specific work of the business economy office. The business studio also has three secretaries Wu Haijian and the accompanying Liu Hui. Two staff members with formal identities are also equipped with two assistants, a waiter and a driver.
"Counselor Mu, this is a fax sent by Huawei. They are preparing to develop a European branch in Munich, Germany, hoping to get our work assistance. Previously, Huawei has acquired the British Integrated Photonic Research Center (CIP) in the UK, and this time it has established a branch in Munich with the goal of strengthening the manufacturing capabilities."
"Counselor Mu, on the 24th of this month, the Munich International Solar Energy Exhibition opened. The exhibition was held at the Munich New Exhibition Hall from June 24 to 28. It is the largest and most influential solar energy professional exhibition and trade fair in the world. This exhibition is expected to be attended by 3,000 companies from 50 countries around the world. According to preliminary understanding, there are more than 500 Chinese companies to participate in the exhibition, accounting for more than 15% of all exhibitors."
"Counselor Mu, on the 27th of this month, some German entrepreneurs in Munich will invite you to a breakfast party, and I hope you will attend."
"On the 10th of next month, Liaoyuan Governor Wang Limin will lead a delegation to visit Bazhou. The specific itinerary is BMW Group, Siemens Group and Southern Chemical Company. We have contacted the three companies before. The other party welcomes and is responsible for the reception work during the visit to the factory. Our Consulate Economic and Commercial Office is responsible for the entire reception work."
As soon as Mu Yang started working, there were a lot of things waiting for him. Before he came, Director Zhou also assigned him a task, the country urgently needed the highest-end processing center in Germany, hoping that Mu Yang would make some efforts in this regard.
Germany is the country with the most advanced machine tool technology and the most developed machine tool industry in the world. Although Germany's machine tool production started 50 years later than the United States, due to the high quality of employees, familiarity with processing technology, dedication to machine tool testing and courage to innovate in technology, its machine tool technology surpassed France and the United Kingdom, caught up with the United States, and in 1969, it ranked first in the world in machine tool exports. In 1976, Germany's machine tool output value surpassed the United States, jumping to the first in the world.
Germany currently has a population of 83 million, with about 110,000 employees in the machine tool industry, and more than 300 companies. Germany is the world's largest machine tool manufacturer. In 2012, Germany's machine tool production accounted for 23% of the world's machine tool production share, reaching 10.8 billion euros. Japan's machine tool production sales reached 7.2 billion euros, accounting for 17% of the world's machine tool production share. Due to the rapid growth of demand in China's machine tool market, China has replaced the United States as Germany's largest machine tool exporter. In 2012, Germany's machine tool exports to China were 970 million euros, accounting for 13.9% of Germany's total machine tool exports.
However, most of the machine tools exported to China from abroad are popular CNC systems. In truly high-precision machine tools, Western countries have been "stuck by our necks", making our procurement channels poor and it is difficult to obtain high-end equipment. Europe also strictly prohibits the leakage of 5-axis linkage CNC machine tool technology. The imported countries must ensure that they will not be used for military purposes before they can purchase it. They must accept the so-called "end user access" of foreign manufacturers, that is, foreigners can obtain important information such as the end use, usage status, etc. for CNC machine tools. They are harsh conditions for our use, which makes us very likely to lose secrets.
China has always been very eager for real high-quality and sophisticated processing machines. In the past, during the existence of Batumi, foreign countries even restricted exports to China, but now Batumi has abolished and China joined the WTO. In accordance with the WTO regulations, the principle of free trade was not allowed to be restricted, but foreign countries have also created a list of restricted export products, which is completely targeted at China.
