After leaving Dongfang Jialai Company, Heinzer took Chupuma to six or seven wind farms without stopping to understand the situation of fan purchases. In all wind farms, he got the same information, that is, domestic fan companies in China collectively reduced the fan prices, and the average quotation per kilowatt is about 30% lower than that of European companies, and has an absolute price advantage.

Heinzel didn't give up. He suspected that there was a tacit understanding between these wind farms and Chinese fan companies, such as signing a private interest subsidy agreement and deliberately disclosed a seriously unreasonable low price to the outside world in order to exclude European fans. He found European wind power investors and asked them to inquire about Chinese fan companies. The answers he received made European investors overjoyed. Chinese fan companies were able to provide fans at a price lower than 30% of European companies, and the quality was not much worse than European fans. If this is the case, why should they purchase fans from European companies?

"This is a low-price dumping behavior and will be subject to international trade rules!"

Heinzel shouted to European investors in a furious manner. He originally wanted these investors to inquire about the market for themselves, but he expected to advertise for Chinese fan companies. Heinzel's feelings can only be described as sunned_by_dog.

"Well, we're very much looking forward to you to find out the truth," the investor told Heinzel. "If it turns out that they are not dumping, but have indeed found a way to control costs, I suggest that European fan companies can learn from them."

For wind power investors, whether Chinese fan companies dump or not has nothing to do with them. They are happy to see such price cuts. In the view of the investor Heinzel entrusted, the quotes of European fan companies are undoubtedly unreasonable. The executives of these companies earned all the money they earned from wind power investors like them. It is because Chinese fan companies have a conscience, and the price is full of integrity.

Heinzl appeared in front of Boward again. This time, he came to ask the EU to investigate the malicious price-pressure competition among Chinese fan companies.

"Malicious price reduction, do you have any evidence?" Bovard looked at Heinzl, as disgusting as if he had seen a fly. This guy is endless, and he treats EU officials as a pile of fresh cow shit.

"I have no evidence!" Heinzl said with confidence. Before Bowad could go wild, he added: "But I asked the technical directors of five European fan companies to evaluate. Everyone believes that the price of 470 euros per kilowatt is absolutely impossible. Even considering the relatively low labor costs in China, the cost per kilowatt of Chinese domestic fans will be between 580 and 600 euros."

In 2008, the price comparison between the euro and the RMB was about 1 to 10 to 11, and 600 euros were roughly equivalent to 6,300 yuan. This price is lower than the cost of European fan companies, but it is not a big gap.

Bovad played with the signature pen in his hand and said, "The Chinese have always been very capable of controlling costs. You cannot look at Chinese companies by the standards of European companies. Your workers and engineers spend too much time drinking coffee, and as far as I know, Chinese people do not drink coffee, which can save them a lot of time."

This is a bit of a slap in the face. The benefits in German companies are really outrageously good. Some companies just spend a month in summer. The bosses and workers happily go to the beach to escape the summer heat, and their wages are paid, and these costs are undoubtedly spread to the product price.

In recent years, products made in China have been continuously exported to Europe, and at a price equivalent to half of the local products, it has squeezed out many European local enterprises. Those companies that were destroyed have complained to the EU, accusing Chinese companies of dumping and selling at prices lower than production costs. The EU has also conducted many anti-dumping investigations at the request of these companies, but most of the investigations have failed to reach conclusions that are beneficial to European companies in the end. Chinese companies can indeed produce various products at a cost equivalent to only one-quarter of the cost of European companies, and the price they sell in China is even lower, so it cannot be explained by dumping.

This time, Heinzel came to accuse Chinese fan companies of dumping, and Bowad's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. Heinzel exaggerated Bowad about the drilling platform. He clearly drew a concept picture, so he could boast that the overall design had been completed. Bowad was deceived in such a time. If Heinzel was trusted again, he would be a fool.

"Mr. Bowad, I am commissioned by all European fan manufacturers to make a request to the EU. The Chinese government has canceled the requirement for the localization rate of fans, but has used various undisclosed means to support fan companies to expel European companies at extremely low prices. This is a disguised trade protection. We hope that the EU can protest to the Chinese government and investigate Chinese fan companies to determine whether they are maliciously competing at lower cost prices or have received disguised subsidies from the Chinese government. In short, we must not accept the statement that Chinese companies cost less than 470 euros per kilowatt of fans."

Heinzel said to Bowad with a tense face and righteous words. He has a complaint jointly issued by European fan companies. Even if it cannot represent all European companies, it covers at least 70% of European fan production capacity. These companies, like Pumai, are excited to go to China to explore the market, but are disappointed. This is not the case. The news of low prices of Chinese fans has also spread to Europe. Now European wind power investors are also ready to abandon European local fan manufacturers and turn to China to seek fan supply. How can European companies tolerate this?

"If you insist on asking the EU to do this, the EU will meet your requirements." Bovad said helplessly. Who can give you the right to speak? There is a slogan "Serve businessmen" written outside the EU. Thinking that he has to go to China again, and to do something that will most likely be slapped in the face, Bovad also wants to find a dog to sung it.

It is impossible to refuse the company's request, but it is always possible to delay time. Bovad accepted the complaint sent by Heinzel, first reported to the Secretary-General, and then spent a lot of time to review relevant information, basically reading two or three documents a day. After four or five weeks, Bovad called the Ministry of Commerce of China and informed the other party of European fan companies accusing Chinese companies of malicious competition.

Of course, the Ministry of Commerce of China would not respond immediately, but spent several weeks conducting the investigation and then reported the investigation results to the EU, pointing out that the accusations of European companies are groundless, and Chinese companies have always abide by laws and regulations, strictly abide by market rules, and have never done anything to disrupt market order. As for why Chinese fans are so cheap, because... we are so cheap. If you don't accept it, come and beat me.

"European companies hope to conduct on-site investigations of Chinese fan companies to confirm that the production costs of Chinese fan companies are indeed consistent with their own statements." Bovad asked China.

"However, you are conducting an anti-dumping investigation on color TVs and steel fasteners sold to Europe in China. Is it appropriate to start an investigation of the fan at this time?" China questioned.

"I think we can end the investigation of color TVs and steel fasteners ahead of schedule..." Bovad responded.

This is the trade relationship. If you want to make a request in this aspect, you need to make concessions in other aspects, otherwise people will say that you are not aware of the limit and the two sides will not be able to continue to interact. If the EU wants to investigate Chinese fans, it must give up some other rights accordingly in exchange for China's cooperation. Ending the investigation of color TVs and fasteners is the condition for China to accept the EU's fan investigation. If the EU does not agree, then don't expect China to agree to the fan investigation.

"Mr. Feng, on behalf of color TV companies and fasteners companies across the country, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you." Xu Zhenbo informed Feng Xiaochen of the EU's request on the phone, and said half-jokingly and half-chewingly.

"It's all our country's enterprises. Can anyone thank whoever?" Feng Xiaochen replied with a smile.

"You reduced the price of fans and made those European companies a mistake. Now they are anxious and said they want to conduct an investigation. I will ask you one question: Can our fans companies stand the investigation?" Xu Zhenbo asked.

Feng Xiaochen replied easily: "There is no problem at all. Apart from those confidentiality links, no matter how they look at other production links, they can also check our original account book. Our fan price reduction is open and no one can find any problem."

Xu Zhenbo said: "That's great. But don't agree so happily. It's better to hide some things and find some reasons. Go back and let EU officials come to our Ministry of Commerce to coordinate, so that we have the opportunity to negotiate with them again."

"Haha, I have said a long time ago that Director Xu is free from business. There are only a few blowers, and you have already calculated how many times the Europeans have been, and I feel sorry for the EU officials." Feng Xiaochen said.

Xu Zhenbo said: "This is mainly due to your efforts. I really don't know how you reduced the cost of fans now. The EU said that they found experts from more than a dozen fan companies to discuss. Everyone thought it was impossible to reduce the price of fans to RMB 5,000 per kilowatt, but you actually did it."
