Chapter 733 Tragedy and Rise! (Third Update)
The violent storm in June.
Knocked on the door of summer.
The eve of the hot summer, accompanied by bursts of lightning and thunder.
Following the old United States, Europe and the United States officially announced the launch of anti-dumping investigations on China's photovoltaic components and key components such as silicon wafers. The scope of products involved exceeds the previous "double anti-dumping case" of the old United States, and the amount involved exceeds 20 billion US dollars. It is the largest trade lawsuit initiated by Europe and the United States against China so far...
[Yingli], [Suzhou Deshang], [Tianhe Photovoltaic] and other Chinese photovoltaic companies have officially formed an alliance. Since the old United States was ruled, Chinese photovoltaic companies have once again actively responded and officially issued a joint statement, hoping that the European side can carefully consider this anti-dumping investigation, and expressed their willingness to cooperate with a more sincere and serious attitude.
Sincere intentions have never moved Europe and America. Instead, Europe and America have impacted the entire Chinese photovoltaic market with a storm of remarks, and publicly stated: [China is guilty], [We will enforce justice to the end]...
Although it has not yet officially finalized the case like the United States, waves of public opinion attacks have impacted China's photovoltaic industry.
It has almost put China's photovoltaic industry in a life-and-death situation!
In this battlefield without gunpowder...
The first generation of photovoltaic companies died in the 2008 financial crisis.
The second generation of photovoltaic companies finally saw hope after the financial crisis, but once again encountered an unprecedented thunderbolt.
A report was officially released, which listed the reasons for the bankruptcy of countless overseas photovoltaic industries. Due to the impact of the financial crisis, countless overseas photovoltaic companies that went bankrupt stated in their bankruptcy applications that it was not because of short selling of financial attributes, but because of malicious dumping by Chinese photovoltaic companies, which made it difficult for them to continue and eventually went bankrupt...
The reasons for bankruptcy once again pushed China's photovoltaic industry to the forefront...
As public opinion exploded, several photovoltaic companies that had just emerged in China collapsed again...
………………………………
June 8.
Ministry of Commerce.
Xu Linlin walked into the conference hall with heavy emotions.
This was a department-level meeting of the General Office of the Ministry of Commerce.
Yuan Gang, director of the Ministry of Commerce, was just an ordinary participant here, and she was one of the exceptional participants...
June 7.
The Ministry of Commerce urgently summoned Chinese photovoltaic companies such as [Yingli], [Suzhou Deshang], [Tianhe Photovoltaic] and [Aster] to Beijing to discuss countermeasures.
From mid-May to early June, several companies traveled to Europe and the United States, constantly expounding their positions, trying to prove their innocence, maintain cooperation, and continue to win-win.
But in return, they only received public opinion and endless controversy. After returning to China, what awaited them was a more brutal commercial squeeze. The stocks related to China's photovoltaic new energy fell to a desperate level!
China's photovoltaic industry has completely stood on the cliff, and it is only one step away from falling off the cliff. It is completely hanging by a thread!
The collapse of an industry affects not only the industry, but also the future of China and the layout of nearly decades...
"Our Ministry of Commerce has carefully read the "Emergency Report on the Anti-dumping Investigation of European and American Photovoltaic Products on China, which will severely damage our industry" provided by you. The leaders expressed their great importance and specially invited you to come here today to discuss countermeasures..."
"We have always supported the photovoltaic industry and our attitude towards new energy. It is also the most important piece of the puzzle in our future field of China..."
"This is a war without gunpowder!"
"But this road is not smooth..."
"The United States wants to impose a technological blockade on us, Europe wants to impose an industrial blockade on us, and the surrounding countries are also eyeing us, thinking about replacing us after we fall..."
"The situation has reached a serious level, even on the verge of life and death!"
"Everyone! From now on, we have to give up our illusions..."
"..."
Xu Linlin heard the old man above, saying this series of words in a very serious voice.
Xu Linlin listened silently.
She has been in the Ministry of Commerce for many years, but she has never heard leaders say such words as "life and death" like today.
She lowered her head.
She saw a set of data.
From January to June this year, more than half of China's photovoltaic industry has collapsed.
As the company with the best momentum in the photovoltaic industry, [Suzhou Suntech] has lost nearly 656 million US dollars in the past year, and all profit indicators have deteriorated significantly...
In 2012, this deterioration continued. Relevant people have analyzed that this year's losses will exceed 1 billion, and it is difficult to maintain [Suzhou Suntech] alone.
Many large photovoltaic companies listed in the United States are already facing delisting.
As for other companies...
Nearly 80% of China's polysilicon companies have been forced to stop production, and 80% of polysilicon company workers are on standby. China's export market share in the United States is only 20%, while in Europe it is as high as 70%...
One by one, the data, like heavy raindrops, hit Xu Linlin's heart hard.
The atmosphere at the Ministry of Commerce meeting became increasingly depressing. Everyone felt a dark cloud looming over their hearts, making it hard to breathe.
There are three general results of the meeting. The first is that China's commercial department will actively communicate with the European Union, the second is that China's photovoltaic companies will actively respond to the investigation, and the third is that the country will increase support for future industrial upgrading. , and the strategic contraction is still to increase the domestic demand market...
…
These plans are undoubtedly the best solutions.
However, these plans all take time...
They have been racing against time, but how many companies can survive to the end?
Saving land and losing people is a big defeat!
Save people's lost land, slowly plan for it, and leave green hills without worrying about having no firewood. This is the way forward in the true sense.
This is the question that everyone is thinking about.
When she walked out of the office, Xu Linlin had complicated eyes, looking at the figures leaving one by one. She had never felt so heavy and pessimistic as she did now.
[What will happen if we lose this battle? 】
Such a thought suddenly appeared in her mind. This thought was so terrifying that it immediately sent shivers down her spine.
Immediately afterwards...
Pictures that should not have appeared appeared in her mind.
"Secretary Xu..."
"Ting Chen..."
"Let's talk..."
"good!"
Just when Xu Linlin was deducing the future and becoming more and more pessimistic, she heard a voice.
Then, she looked up and saw an old man looking at her happily.
She was shocked, and then followed the old man into the office.
………………………………
The afternoon sun shines into the office.
Chen Guozhong was sitting in his office, flipping through Xu Linlin's project list and work notes from 2009 to 2012.
Xu Linlin stood aside, not daring to breathe.
as if……
On trial.
"[Introduction to New Energy], [Future Trend of Photovoltaic Energy], [Future Challenges of Photovoltaic], [Western Development]..."
Chen Guozhong read the names of each report sentence by sentence.
After hearing these reports, Xu Linlin's eyes were complicated.
These reports were written by Zhang Sheng for himself every once in a while starting in 2009.
Xu Linlin was also submitting reports, but after submitting these reports, she did not receive any feedback for a long time.
Xu Linlin didn't take it too seriously. In 2009, the China-US cooperation officially entered a honeymoon period. Although there were some dissatisfaction in the past 10 years, it has always maintained a highly cooperative and friendly attitude.
Therefore, what Zhang Sheng wrote is a warning to Xu Linlin...
However, three years later, looking back on what Zhang Sheng wrote, Xu Linlin had to admit that Zhang Sheng at that time was extremely prescient.
"In 10 years, Mr. Zhou Guoan once recommended a young man to me. Since then, I have been paying attention to this kid named Zhang Sheng. I am paying attention to the leaders above who are also paying attention to this kid... But , I also have to admit my dereliction of duty. We did not read these documents properly and truly..." Under the sun, Xu Guozhong had a bit of regret on his face: "Thinking about it now, this young man has a lot of ideas, and he also has a lot of ideas. More alert…”
"Chen Ting, you..."
"This time I come to talk to you. Firstly, I am very grateful to you for discovering such a rare talent for our business department. Secondly, I want to talk to this young man..." Chen Guozhong looked at him sincerely. Xu Linlin: "What is this young man doing now?"
When Xu Linlin heard this sentence, her heart was shocked: "He is taking the postgraduate entrance examination..."
"Postgraduate entrance examination?"
"yes."
Chen Guozhong was stunned when he heard this sentence.
Later, I saw Xu Linlin giving Chen Guozhong all the information about Zhang Sheng in the drawer.
After Chen Guozhong saw this information, he was slightly stunned.
These are Zhang Sheng’s scores in every subject since he entered college...
I graduated from college one year early in four years, and got a scholarship from Yanshihua in almost every semester...
Other than that…
In March of this year, I officially bid farewell to the business circle and joined the postgraduate entrance examination...
And spent huge sums of money to establish the [Semiconductor Laboratory]...
When Chen Guozhong saw this, he was suddenly shocked!
"Chen Ting, Zhang Sheng wants to shine for the rise of a great country in this era..."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
When he heard Xu Linlin's words, Chen Guozhong praised her three times in a row, and his appreciation was palpable.
Just at this time……
Xu Linlin received a call.
Telephone……
It happened to be Zhang Sheng who called.
Chen Guozhong motioned to Xu Linlin to answer the phone.
"Master's wife, I passed the exam!"
"..."
"Mother, you asked me what my plans are after I pass the exam. Now I can tell you that I want to contribute to the light and rise in the darkest moment of China's photovoltaic industry. Since Europe and the United States are interested in our polysilicon cards, Neck, then, we develop our own monocrystalline silicon..."
"..."
"Mother, I know you want to persuade me, and I also know that all the capital is besieging me now, but I have to go this way, even if all my industries in four years collapse, even if I know the future It’s a bottomless pit, and I have to go down it! No matter how poor I am, I’m just a beggar! I’ve been a poor kid step by step from being in debt to now... I have nothing, and I’m not afraid of losing it again!”
"..."
"Master's wife, please stop trying to persuade me. I know this road is difficult to walk. I also know that the power of an individual is too small in the face of the times, but I still have to try it once! Okay, I'm going to hang up first!"
(Nothing much to say, just make up for yesterday)
