When Bai Ye arrived at the door, he could already hear the argument between the two parties getting more intense.
I originally thought that everyone was a showman, and the top counselors and senior officials in each country were all quality adults, so there would be no disputes.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. Fairies can still fart, goddesses can lick their noses, and diplomats can still curse.
Of course, there is a level of swearing, rather than repeated verbs and nouns referring to human body parts or women in the family.
When an educated person curses someone, you have to think carefully about it for a few minutes before you can figure out what the other person said.
The back-and-forth between the two parties has reached a fever pitch.
Bai Ye hesitated at the door for a long time, thinking twice about whether to wait until they calmed down before going in...
The staff behind him looked at Bai Ye awkwardly. He didn't want to go in either, but the leader had spoken and asked Bai Ye to go in. If he didn't go in, he would be criticized.
Bai Ye smiled, opened the door and entered.
The splendid reception hall and the dignified conference room were paired together. Bai Ye felt that it would be very interesting to curse in such an occasion!
However, after Bai Ye came in, there was an astonishing brief silence.
The chairman is not here, but the person from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is sitting on the chair on the left, humming and drinking tea, while opposite is a group of old Americans,
Seeing Bai Ye come in, Zhang Chen, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stood up and introduced Bai Ye.
The group of people opposite, including relevant personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Trade Department, etc., already knew a lot about Bai Ye.
After that, everyone ignored Bai Ye and continued a series of arguments and discussions on the topic just now. There were many people on both sides, more than thirty people on each side. If the conference room was not big enough, it would never be able to accommodate so many people.
of personnel.
However, it can be regarded as a tentative unified negotiation result, and the details will have to wait for the final conclusions of the leaders of the two countries.
Next, a man at the head of the American team looked at Bai Ye with a smile and said, "This should be Mr. Bai Ye from the Bai Ye Research Institute, right?"
Bai Ye nodded and took the initiative to shake hands: "Hello, I am Bai Ye."
The man smiled, stood up and shook hands with Bai Ye in a cooperative manner: "I am Xinpei Russell. Our president is very fond of you."
Bai Ye was no stranger to this name. He was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United States, a senior official who was active in the public eye.
The man's words can be said to have profound meaning.
However, Zhang Chengang was not as surprised as he imagined, and instead smiled and said nothing.
Xinpei Russell continued: "I invite you here today because I want to talk to you about the launch of a new type of prosthetic joint in the United States. We come here with sincerity. Regarding this item, we provide a tax exemption
deal with."
Bai Ye smiled slightly: "Okay, but before that, I have a question to ask Mr. Xin Pei, whether the products developed by our institute are medical devices."
After Xinpei Russell heard this question, he was stunned!
Not only him, but everyone present was not lost in thought.
Because this time the Sino-US talks attracted the attention of countless people.
Because since 2017, the United States has been dissatisfied with China's trade until March 2018, when a trade dispute emerged.
It can be said that this matter was a heated issue at that time, attracting the attention of countries all over the world, and even relevant WTO personnel began to negotiate.
But in the end, according to a White House press release, the United States imposed an additional 25% tariff on aerospace, information and communications technology, machinery, including medical devices and other products.
In fact, this also illustrates a problem in disguise. We have done very well in the development of these fields, especially in the innovation of price wars. Even the United States has to mediate through trade wars.
The 25% increase in tariffs is the final opinion. In fact, what the White House administration wants to do most is to increase additional anti-dumping duties.
Relations between the two countries have been tense since the trade dispute ended last year.
When Bai Ye saw that Xin Pei was silent, he continued: "Bai Ye Research Institute belongs to China. The products we develop are also export commodities entering the US market, and new prosthetic materials are classified as medical equipment. Therefore, this tax exemption regulation
Isn’t it somewhat inconsistent with the country’s regulations?”
In fact, long before Bai Ye said these words, when he clicked on this thing, Xin Pei suddenly felt a thump in his heart.
But Zhang Chengang's eyes lit up and he wanted to shout: "Well said!"
Of course, he couldn't say this.
Although Xin Pei still smiled, his brain was looking for a solution like a super computer.
Bai Ye made it clear that he wanted to cause trouble!
Yes, that's right, Bai Ye just wants to cause trouble.
The United States has raised taxes on 60 billion U.S. dollars of Chinese products, and medical equipment is among them, so what Bai Ye wants to do now is very simple, which is to mess around.
Because the original trade dispute was not a reasonable matter, and it was the opinion of the previous leader, which actually offended the interest groups at that time.
To put it bluntly, their anti-dumping is actually that many Chinese products are high-quality and low-priced, occupying a large amount of the US market, and the other side, out of self-protection, uses anti-dumping laws to increase taxes on those products to increase the competitiveness of local products.
Moreover, this kind of tax increase cannot promote the development of the US economy. According to relevant data, the United States will lose US$300 billion within ten years under the trade terms of March 2018.
Many American citizens do not agree with this.
So now there is a change of administration. The old people are doing things the same way, and the new people are doing things new. The relationship between China and the Republican Party is much better than that of the Democratic Party, so what they have to do now is to renegotiate the trade dispute.
And Bai Ye's joining gave them a little more leverage!
This bargaining chip may be insignificant, but... often this kind of thing can play a vital role.
It can break the original balance and establish a new balance.
Bai Ye didn't stay in there for long and came out quickly.
China and the United States have begun tug-of-war negotiations again.
finally!
Three days later, China and the United States had a result.
On this day, media from all over the world gathered in Kyoto. Chinese leaders and U.S. leader Parolella held formal talks and invited Parolella to visit the Forbidden City and other places. The two sides hoped to establish friendly diplomacy and achieve peaceful progress together.
And, the next day, a big news shocked the world.
The United States has reduced the taxes that were originally increased in 2018. Although it is higher than the original amount, it is much lower than the 2018 trade war.
The second incidental news is that the products of Baiye Research Institute will be successfully launched in the U.S. market next month and will be tax-free for three years.
