Chapter Ninety-Three: The Tide Turns Before the Great War

[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site " ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] The idea here in Hengdian is naturally very good, but Fan Wuxian does not suffer at all.

Although it is not possible to obtain the independent legal personality of the film and television base, there is a good saying that only the cooperation that binds useful interests together is the most successful.

If you build a film and television base by yourself, of course, there is no problem, but you have to find a manager, right? You have to find employees who do the work, right? Don't expect yourself to get all the profits, it's unrealistic, the most important thing is to learn how to use various tricks to maximize your own industrial profits, and tying a strong figure like Xu Wenrong to your chariot is obviously the best choice.

At the very least, all the big and small forces in the vicinity of Hengdian will definitely go all out for the construction and operation of the film and television base, and what could make Fan Wuxi happier than this?

Fan Wuxian and Davis and others stayed in Hengdian for about three days, mainly to inspect the terrain, and to determine the location of the film and television base with Hengdian.

It wasn't until he finally wanted to leave that Fan Wuxian revealed his identity as the big boss behind the scenes.

"Sure enough!" Xu Wenrong looked at Fan Wuxian and nodded, "I just said that you look a little unusual, and that's true!" It seems that my old eyes are not faint yet! ”

Fan Wuxian couldn't help but smile, Xu Wenrong was only fifty-six years old at this time. is in the prime of life, where is the old eye faint? Even ten years later, this person can still put forward an investment plan of 20 billion yuan to build a new garden in the Yuan Ming Dynasty, how can he be compared with ordinary old people?

"Regarding the issue of funds, I will invest some, cement and steel bars and other basic building materials, don't be afraid of hoarding too much. All in all, it is best to spend all the funds before the end of the year. Turn them all into building materials. Fan Wuxian explained again.

"Don't worry, I can still handle the matter of spending money." Xu Wenrong sensed a little bit of the general environment that might change from Fan Wuxi's words, so he nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant.

When everyone returned to Shanghai, they got quite bad news. The Republican Kathew of the U.S. House of Representatives submitted a special proposal to Congress, strongly urging Congress to pass an authorization to punitive crackdown on China's official connivance at intellectual property piracy and other behaviors, and the proposal has received verbal support from more than two-thirds of the local members of the House of Representatives.

Affected by this. The stock prices of a number of listed companies, represented by high-tech stocks in the United States, have plummeted, and many companies have fallen by about 40% in one day. Most analysts agree that a trade war between China and the United States is inevitable.

In this regard, the biggest change in mood was Wu Zhi Xiaoji and his subordinates who carried out stock and futures operations in the United States, who complained to Fan Wuxian that the direction of speculation this time seemed to be wrong.

Although even if a trade war breaks out between China and the United States. The stock market has lost all of its money, and it can't hurt Fan Wuxi's tendons or move Fan Wuxi's bones, but seeing billions of dollars of investment come to naught in an instant, no one will feel good in their hearts.

No matter how big the family business is, it can't withstand such a blind toss! A lot of people have doubts about their boss's decision.

"Continue to increase positions in well-earned stocks that have plummeted, and at the same time it's time to sell short orders." Fan Wuxi's decision made everyone feel a little unacceptable.

The so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and seeing that the trade war between China and the United States will break out at any time, why does the boss continue to bet on American high-tech stocks like a tendon?

"Fan-San, you do it. It seems a little too risky. Wu Zhi reminded him.

"High risk leads to high reward. Otherwise, how do you think I earned all my money? Fan replied with a smile.

However, this time the waiting time was quite long, lasting almost two months. Even Fan Wuxian himself felt a little skeptical about his decision, could it be that his judgment and memory were wrong?

In fact, the Sino-US trade dispute is mainly entangled in the protection of intellectual property rights.

In April 19**, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) issued the "Report on Foreign Trade Barriers", accusing China of failing to provide adequate and effective protection for American intellectual products, especially in the patent system and copyright system, and therefore included China in the list of "key countries to watch".

In May of the same year, a delegation of the Chinese and American governments drafted a Memorandum of Understanding on the protection of intellectual property rights, but for unknown reasons, it was not actually signed. The memorandum of understanding mainly shows that the Chinese government will enact a copyright law as soon as possible and protect works in the mainland, including computer software, and amend the patent law, and the government should strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights. At that time, the U.S. government said that it would not list China as a priority country, and the two sides made clear the importance of scientific and technological cooperation and promoted the further development of economic and trade relations.

In April of the following year, the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) again accused China of prohibiting and restricting the number of imports of certain products and certain aspects, restrictions on the issuance of import licenses, treatment standards for phytosanitary and livestock products, undisclosed laws and regulations restricting imports and sales in China, market access, and other issues, and cited the provisions of the "Special Section 301" of the trade law to include China as a "key observation country".

At the same time, the United States also accuses China of not adequately protecting the scope of patent law, that the copyright law has not been fully formulated, and that computer software has not been protected in accordance with literary works. The United States launched an investigation into China's laws and policies, during which China and the United States held consultations, but no consensus was reached.

This problem is probably the difference caused by different systems.

For Americans, the belief in the sanctity of private property is paramount. Intellectual property rights are also private property that should be strictly protected, so the use must be authorized by the original author, and the profits generated should naturally be paid to the original author.

But Chinese don't think so, one is because for a long time, China did not have a special patent law, and there was no perfect protection for copyright holders.

In the eyes of most people. Writers or inventors are basically government officials, so the inventions or works produced by them. It should be a service invention or service creation, that is, the state has already paid for it, so how can it be possible to make a second payment for it now?

In particular, the hostile attitude of the majority of Chinese towards the United States has never been eliminated, and naturally no one is interested in protecting the so-called intellectual property rights of Americans, and even law enforcers are ashamed to exercise power for this. Aiding and abetting, isn't this what Han Jian did?

The most important thing is that the United States has a discriminatory price strategy for Chinese users in the software industry, so that Chinese can use piracy or even produce pirated copies with confidence.

A set of software that costs a few cents will be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan, you are a fool when you are a Chinese? Even if the Americans have created all kinds of anti-piracy obstacles on the software disk, in front of the smart Chinese, it is equivalent to a beautiful woman wearing an extra coat. Or the kind of erotic style, for cracking software locks, many Chinese are quite enthusiastic.

In the long waiting process, Fan Wu was not idle.

In fact, he is very busy, on the one hand, he has to come up with the scripts of "Myth" and "Huanzhu Gege", and on the other hand, he has to guide Chen Bisong to complete a few songs. Then there is the fact that Liushi has almost been purchased, and it will open a year ago, and as a major shareholder, he is also going to go around.

Although the weather is gradually getting colder, the people of Hengdian have begun to carry out the construction work in full swing after Fan Wuxian injected 200 million funds, and the entire mountain is densely packed with workers, and building materials such as cement and steel bars are constantly pulled in.

Under Fan's special reminder without illness. Xu Wenrong began to purchase basic building materials from all over the country. At the same time, he was surprised to find that he had the same idea. There are also colleagues in Huaxi Village, and the people in Huaxi Village are more ruthless, not only looting building materials, but also hoarding a large number of resource raw materials such as aluminum ingots and copper.

Xu Wenrong believes that if they are given enough funds, it is estimated that they will have the confidence to bring aluminum ingots and copper from all over the country to Huaxi Village.

It seems that many discerning people have judged that China is on the eve of an outbreak.

But time finally quietly entered 1992, the year in which Fan Wuzhi had high hopes.

Although he has made overall arrangements at home and abroad for the arrival of this day, he is still a little worried in his heart, if the truth is different from what he imagined, what will happen?

On New Year's Day in 1992, when everyone was celebrating the arrival of the New Year, the United States drew up a list of retaliatory measures for imposing $1.5 billion of high tariffs on Chinese imports, and China immediately announced a list of $1.2 billion in retaliation the next day.

All of a sudden, the economic and trade cooperation between China and the United States immediately hung a lingering cloud, and the market's reaction was quite chaotic, and everyone had no direction.

The Americans are also very stunned by the strong reaction of the Chinese side, generally speaking, within a week after receiving the retaliatory tariff list, the counter-retaliation list can be put forward, the speed is very fast, and this time the Chinese government's response is too fast, which is a bit abnormal!

While the trade retaliation war is being waged, consultations between China and the United States are continuing.

Fan Wuxian watched coldly, thought carefully, and felt that something was abnormal, which shows that the delicate relationship between the two countries now makes the current situation impossible to deduce from common sense.

The Republican Party has dominated the United States for 12 years, but the US economy has not shown a noticeable improvement, and the Bush administration's Desert Storm operation in Iraq has not achieved its goal of exterminating Saddam. In October last year, Clinton of the Democratic Party announced in a high-profile manner that he would run for the 1992 US presidential election and swore to win the Capitol Hill.

Under such circumstances, normal relations between China and the United States are very important to the Bush administration, and no one wants to make a mess of their own affairs at such a critical juncture.

After many consultations, China rejected the unreasonable accusations and exorbitant demands of the United States, and finally on 17 January, the Chinese and US governments signed the first agreement on the protection of intellectual property rights, namely the "Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of the United States of America on the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights."

During the negotiations, China and the United States made a number of commitments that the two governments would take effective measures and remedies within and outside their respective borders to avoid or stop infringement of intellectual property rights and to deter further infringement.

The Chinese Government has pledged to raise the level of patent protection, agreed to provide administrative protection for US pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals from the following year, and pledged to accede to the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and the Geneva Convention for the Protection of Phonographic Producers against Unauthorized Copying this year.

In response, the U.S. government acknowledged the progress made by the Chinese government in improving intellectual property protection, and the U.S. government terminated investigations initiated under Special Section 301 as of the date of the memorandum and removed the designation of China as a priority investigative country.

The MOU brings to an end a year-long negotiation between China and the United States on intellectual property issues.

As soon as the news was released, high-tech stocks in the United States immediately broke out in a blowout market, and Fan Wuxi, who had already laid out the US stock market, doubled the tens of billions of dollars he had invested in the stock market in one day.

For some inexplicable reasons, the little wolf needs to write 20,000 words of handwritten notes, and also write two experiences, although they are all fooling people, but it also takes a lot of time, and his hands are cramping. I hope you will understand a lot, and it will be fine in the next few days. ***********! ~! [To quickly find this site, please search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network]
