.A few days later, Fan Wubing invited the American Fortune magazine to go to Shanghai to attend this year's annual meeting.

On October 27, the American Fortune magazine's Wealth Annual Conference was held in Shanghai. The theme of the annual conference was China's next fifty years. It not only means looking forward to the future, but also caters to the festive atmosphere of the 50th anniversary of the founding of New China. More than 300 leaders of multinational companies rushed to participate, including more than 60 presidents of the Fortune 500 companies in the world.

More than 40 state-of-the-art private jets landed in Pudong International Airport in one day, which is an unprecedented luxury scene. You know, this was unimaginable in the past. After all, China is a country with very strict air control. Although there are many people who are able to own private jets, it is difficult to obtain a flight permit.

In the past two years, China's economy has not only withstood the continuous impact of Soros and Asian financial storms, but also maintained steady growth. The soft economy has made the whole world very surprised. COCs from major companies want to come to China to see it with their own eyes.

Former US Secretary of State Kissinger cheered China from a historical perspective. He said that the history of the United States is only two hundred years, while China has five thousand years. The Chinese believe that their history has at least 4,800 years without the participation of the United States.

The No. 1 President attended the meeting in person and gave a speech at the opening dinner. He said that tonight, the six-jiazui area in Pudong, Shanghai, where we were located. Six years ago, they were still some simple houses and farmland, but now they are tall buildings and full of vitality financial and trade zones. More than 50 years ago, he studied in Shanghai and had a deep feeling of the poverty and backwardness of the old China and the decline of the country. It was at that time that he was determined to devote himself to the great cause of establishing an independent, free, unified, and prosperous New China, and has been working hard until today.

This year's Wealth Annual Conference is also the highest-level international conference hosted by Shanghai. Since the establishment of the Pudong strategy, the appearance of this largest metropolis in the Far East has been changing with each passing day. By this year, a series of major projects such as the inner and outer ring elevated roads, Yangpu, Nanpu and Lupu Bridges, Metro No. 2 Qian, Pudong Airport, Century Avenue, Pudong Avenue and China's tallest Jinmao Building have all been or are close to completion.

The holding of this annual meeting means that Shanghai has returned to the ranks of important financial centers around the world.

The more than 200 Chinese entrepreneurs who attended the meeting also performed very excitedly. After all, this is the first international business feast. For many people, a ticket seems to mean a global ticket.

"If Chinese companies want to enter the forefront of the world, they still have to go a long way." Fan Wubing said this when talking about future developments with several entrepreneurs around him.

Just last month's Fortune magazine, the annual top 500 companies in the world was announced. Five companies in China were on the list, namely Sinopec, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Bank of China, Sinochem and COFCO Group, all of which are all national monopoly enterprises.

Therefore, whether more Chinese companies can enter the Top 500 list in the shortest time has become the most concerned topic among local entrepreneurs. They regard the annual meeting as a stage for oaths, giving foreigners the feeling that they are acting.

It can be said that in the United States, whether you can enter the Top 500 may affect the direction of the company's stock and the salary of managers. For Chinese companies, the Top 500 complex includes the life value and national responsibilities of entrepreneurs.

Fan Wubing always believes that, given the current situation of Chinese companies, even if they have been going on for another ten years, they will have a certain gap in truly reaching the level of the Fortune 500 companies.

After all, the Fortune 500 in the world is not only about examining the total economic output, but also about corporate culture, internal development potential, and ability to adapt to market changes. This goal is not achieved by relying solely on monopolizing the market.

Monopoly has no future, and only competition can continuously promote the healthy and effective development of the entire industry.

However, after Fan Wubing stayed in Shanghai for half a month, a real global ticket was finally pre-sale successful.

On November 15th, China and the United States officially reached an agreement, and the United States expressed support for China's entry into to.

From the time when China participated in the ministerial meeting of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, its predecessor, in 1986, in 1986, China has been working hard to join this international economic cooperation organization, and the United States, which safeguards its own interests, has always been the biggest obstacle.

As early as two years ago, China had completed all important multilateral negotiations except the United States, but the Sino-US negotiations had undergone many twists and turns. The United States proposed a series of harsh market opening lists, which was rejected by China.

Just when many international public opinion was already very disappointed with the Sino-US negotiations, the agreement was reached dramatically, and perhaps all great moments were full of drama. For more than a hundred years, the Chinese have been trying to integrate into the global economy family with a positive and equal role. In the last year of the 20th century, the Chinese finally got this ticket.

After the Sino-US negotiations reached an agreement, the senior management held a cocktail party, mainly the negotiators at that time and relevant personnel who had made great efforts in the negotiations were invited. As a major figure who had a significant influence on the domestic and foreign economy, Fan Wubing was naturally invited and appeared at the cocktail party as a guest.

During the meal, the No. 1 Commander and Boss Zhu both happily clashed with Fan Wubing and said a lot of happy words.

However, Fan Wubing's mood is quite complicated. Although China has obtained the most critical vote to enter To, the problems that follow are also quite difficult. In order to get this vote, the Chinese have paid a lot of money.

The first is that within the twelve years after joining To, other member states can charge high taxes or non-tariff barriers for Chinese products, and the second is anti-dumping investigation. Within the 15 years after joining To, other member states can conduct anti-dumping investigations on Chinese products. The investigation does not have to be based on the average cost of the investigative country itself as a reference, but can be based on the average price of the third country. The third is that To conduct annual reviews on China every year.

After all, Western countries have implemented different treatments to China, and have not accepted the rise of this great Eastern power from the bottom of their hearts, nor have they planned to recognize China's market economy status.

In fact, when discussing the pros and cons of China's joining the World Trade Organization, many scholars made predictions that the harms in the first ten years outweighed the benefits and the benefits in the next ten years outweighed the disadvantages. This means that many people have considered the issue of paying tuition fees in advance and have certain psychological expectations for the price China pays for joining the World Trade Organization.

However, the reality that Fan Wubing learned later was that China has been joining the World Trade Organization for nearly ten years, and there have been constant disputes over anti-dumping and anti-subsidy, and has not really improved transaction efficiency and reduced transaction costs.

After all, the World Trade Organization is an international trade coordination organization established by Western advanced countries with the United States in order to adapt to the trend of world trade shows and protect their own interests. It aims to protect the vested interests of advanced countries and promote negotiations on financial services trade and intellectual property trade. However, the World Trade Organization has to stipulate the basic principles of fair trade in the general rules, imagine all members of the World Trade Organization as market economies, and conduct trade negotiations in this way.

Unfortunately, China's negotiations to join the World Trade Organization did not gain market economic status for itself. Therefore, China's joining the World Trade Organization did not attend the banquet as a friend, nor did it modify trade rules as a host.

Since China has not won the most basic rights, China cannot become a guest at the banquet of Western countries, nor can it modify the rules of the World Trade Organization. After China joined the World Trade Organization, it not only cannot reduce anti-dumping and anti-subsidy lawsuits, but because China becomes a member of the World Trade Organization, other members of the World Trade Organization can fight against China behind closed doors and follow the rules of the World Trade Organization and even the bilateral protocol of China's accession to the World Trade Organization.

Therefore, when people look back and re-analyze the World Trade Organization many years later, people will realize that the core value of the World Trade Organization is actually the market economy. If they do not gain market economic status, then it will not be of much significance for China to join the World Trade Organization.

Of course, most people did not expect this result, whether it was the participants at the Fortune annual meeting or many scholars in China, but Fan Wubing looked coldly and saw the huge hidden dangers in it, and also noticed the efforts of the senior management on this issue.

At least, I can accept one-third of New Zealand's wool sales in exchange for New Zealand's recognition of China's market economy and open a gap for the trade barriers of Western countries against China.

In this sense, the toasts from Chief No. 1 and Boss Zhu can be completely afforded by himself.

"I suddenly realized that the responsibility I was carrying was very heavy." Fan Wubing drank all the red wine with a slightly bitter taste in the glass and said to Boss Zhu, "This French guy is really unauthentic. It's better to drink sweet wine from Xinjiang."

"International law." Boss Zhu replied to Fan Wubing, and then continued his previous words, "It is very critical to see how far China's economy can develop in the next ten or twenty years. If you catch up, then it will be smoother from now on. Although it cannot be smooth all the way, you can still see the progress step by step. If you lose this opportunity, then the gap between us and the world's leading countries will become increasingly wider."

"I believe that the next ten years will be the golden decade of the National Economic Exhibition. I have never doubted this." Fan Wubing thought of many things in the past ten years and couldn't help but say with emotion, "Maybe we still have to go through many twists and turns, many hardships, and many challenges. But we will eventually overcome those difficulties one by one and catch up."

"Haha, listening to our Master Xiao Fan's prophecy makes me feel more confident than listening to the prophecies of economists." After hearing this, Boss Zhu immediately laughed.

Since Fan Wubing spoke in his sleep at the wedding and predicted that the Taiwan earthquake came true, Master Fan's name has become even louder. Today, Boss Zhu was in a good mood and used this as a joke on him.

However, when it comes to it, Boss Zhu really attaches great importance to Fan Wubing's opinions. This guy has grasped many things very accurately, which makes people very amazed. It can only be said that he is just like a god.

In fact, Fan Wubing is also very clear about this. Although it is not advisable to often make shocking remarks, occasionally expressing his own opinions from a high perspective and then confirming his own opinions, so as to establish his mysterious and noble position in the minds of the world, it is still very helpful for him to continue to maintain his current advantageous influence.

Although he did not have the idea of ​​being a charlatan, he could subtly deepen the blind obedience of everyone. There are many benefits. At least when he put forward an exaggerated point of view, everyone would habitually think about it seriously without pointing at his nose and saying something fantasy. This is the effect he expected.

Fan Wubing wandered around the hall and was stopped several times on the way. In addition to the girls from a dressed young and beautiful rich family who wanted to chat with him, there were some elites from various industries, and everyone wanted to get some useful information from him.

Although Fan Wubing did not like this very much, Fan Wubing tried his best to provide them with some help in response to some of the questions they raised. This is also considered a daily good deed. Because of its very precise forward-looking nature, Fan Wubing could easily find the weaknesses from their ideas and then pick them out and judge them one by one. This made those who came to prove it very rewarding. Those who came to seek advice suddenly became enlightened and admired Fan Wubing in all their bodies.

After staying here for a while, Fan Wubing felt that he could not continue like this, otherwise the girls who had been following the girls who were listening to him would not even be able to move their legs. Now, their eyes are basically full of heart shapes that can be seen.

Judging from the exchanges tonight, most domestic entrepreneurs still lack sufficient confidence, which has led to many times that they cannot seriously discuss the development direction of their own companies and what their companies really need, but pursue foreign judgment standards. Although those standards may not meet the domestic market conditions, Fan Wubing feels more regretful.
Chapter completed!
