At the start, it was an introduction to some of China's industries. Robertson had heard about it before and did not think much of it. But when the picture changed to the automobile industry, especially the appearance of maglev vehicles, his expression became serious.
He had heard about maglev vehicles in Europe, but it was only a predetermined plan. It was said that China's Pengyun Automobile was trying to develop maglev vehicles.
At that time, the automobile industry was not optimistic about it. Even if the maglev vehicles were developed, there was no suitable road for it. Simply put, the cost was too high, and it was not suitable for development.
But now, they had really developed it, and it was such a magical intelligent road! Robertson's eyes were wide open as he watched the press conference.
"How did they do it in just two to three months?" Robertson was shocked. Why was there no news about this before?
If this car was mass-produced, would the traditional cars survive? This would be a huge blow to Europe's automobile industry!
"Impossible. This kind of car, this kind of road cannot be mass-produced!" Robertson comforted himself in his heart. The precision industrial technology was in their hands, and this kind of car could not be mass-produced. Even if it was mass-produced, it would be restricted by them.
But he did not have this thought for more than three minutes before he saw the demonstration of the latest CNC machine.
In the picture, the intricate machinery, the highly intelligent CNC program of the quantum computer, and the sculpting art made Robertson and the members of the European Union delegation stunned!
They had seen European countries, Japanese countries, and even the top industrial technology of the United States, but they had never seen such a magical machine!
In just a few seconds, there were no complicated operations or settings. The quantum computer only needed to scan the information, and the machine could automatically operate and complete the nano-precision industrial processing!
With this kind of technology, what kind of parts could not be designed? Every detail was impeccable!
Robertson's face turned pale. As the representative of the European Commission and a staunch supporter of the Machinery Restriction Treaty, he knew what this meant! This meant that with this kind of industrial manufacturing technology, the Machinery Restriction Treaty would become a joke to China!
And with this kind of technology, they could upgrade their industrial products and seize the world market. They could even use the European market as a dumping ground for their industrial products!
The purpose of his trip would be in vain! With this kind of technology, would China still agree to compromise? Absolutely impossible!
He finally understood why the European Commission had asked him to stop the discussion and return to Europe. It was because of this! So, that magical machine tool was the trump card of China's industry!
This card was too big. He could not afford it, the European Union Council could not afford it, and even the US could not afford it!
Seeing the expressions of the EU delegation change, the Chinese leaders looked at each other and smiled. Now, they should know who had the right to speak, right?
"Mr. Robertson, what do you think of the industrial strength of our Chinese enterprises?" Someone asked politely.
"Very good. It's already at the top of the world. This kind of machine is almost the same as our top industrial machines. Your country's industrial technology is really developing rapidly!" Although Robertson was shocked, he still maintained the demeanor of a diplomat and praised him on the surface.
The leaders of Huaxia smiled but did not say anything. Instead, it was Robertson who felt a little unconfident and took the initiative to suspend the negotiations.
If it was an hour ago, the Chinese side would definitely be a little worried. But now, the big shots just smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry, don't worry. The trade issue between us isn't something that can be solved in a short time. We have the patience to wait."
What was he waiting for? Of course, they are waiting for the EU countries to realize the impact of this incident and take the initiative to compromise!
Robertson and the rest of the EU representatives could not say anything. Within an hour, they had lost the initiative in the negotiations and had no choice but to back off.
When they return to Europe, the European Commission will not be thinking about how to get benefits from the Chinese market. Instead, they will be thinking about how to deal with this crisis and quickly reconcile with China. This is to ensure that their economies will not be affected.
No one knew that a fierce international trade competition had come to an end, and the Chinese side had won.
… …
Half a month later, news of European officials visiting China spread. Some people noticed that although the EU did not announce the lifting of the machinery restriction treaty, they had secretly added some amendments to the treaty. The relevant industrial technologies and products were opened up again, and they were even more open than before.
Correspondingly, the US, Japan, Korea, and other countries had also lifted the restrictions. Not only that, the Chinese side also noticed that the prices of some of their expensive and precision industrial products, which they had been relying on imports, had dropped. They even felt that the foreigners were selling these products at a clearance sale, and the conditions were much better.
Smart businessmen knew that this was all because of the CNC machine that Pengyun Automobile Group had introduced this month.
Ever since Pengyun Automobile's press conference, there had been news of many large-scale industrial enterprises collaborating with Pengyun Automobile Group. One could imagine that this kind of all-purpose CNC machine tool would appear in even more production factories and upgrade industrial manufacturing!
Other than that, Pengyun Automobile Group also cooperated with many state-owned enterprises and large construction companies. They announced that they will be renovating the roads in the country, and the main roads will be paved with magnetic levitation panels for the future use of magnetic levitation vehicles.
China's Ministry of Transport also announced similar news, encouraging local governments to upgrade the roads. This was a good thing for infrastructure development, increasing domestic demand, and increasing economic growth. All the local governments were happy to see this.
Most importantly, the capital market was also very enthusiastic about this. As long as a company or a local government announced that they want to build magnetic levitation roads, investors will flock to them, and this will solve the problem of capital.
Everyone knew that the era of transportation reform had arrived. In the future, smart roads might become a new economic model, including car sales, smart roads, entertainment media, charging services, etc.
Pengyun Automobile Group had also become the automobile company with the most potential because of this! Many people were looking forward to the appearance of magnetic levitation vehicles on the roads everywhere!
Lu Zixin was also very busy these days. Many people were interested in the magnetic levitation vehicles and the CNC machine. Not only businessmen, but the government was also interested.
