Chapter 840

South Africa's response was also very fast, obviously wanting to seize this opportunity. During Meng Qian's visit, South Africa successively issued a number of policies to support the development of science and technology.

On the one hand, it is opening up more and welcomes investors from all over the world to South Africa. On the other hand, it has established science and technology parks in different directions in many cities to provide many policy benefits for technology companies that come to South Africa to develop.

At the same time, provide all-round talent care policies for talents who come to South Africa for development, so that talents can live well and earn money in South Africa.

Compared with the thriving appearance of South Africa at this time, the atmosphere in an office in Australia is depressing.

"The recent intensive actions in South Africa are impacting our technological influence, especially after Google announced its departure from the Australian market, the entire technology stock fell across the board."

Recently, the Australian stock market itself has experienced a decline. This sharp drop was driven by the financial and energy sectors. Now, the decline in technology stocks has further promoted the decline in the Australian stock market.

"My biggest concern right now is the rate of industrial progress in South Africa.

The population of South Africa is twice that of ours. If they maintain the same level of industrial manufacturing as ours, then South Africa's population advantage will definitely create a greater total industrial output value.

And this point, if South Africa is willing to spend money, with the help of companies such as Dafeng Group, it is actually not difficult to achieve. "

"There is one more thing we have to consider. Why did Meng Qian choose South Africa? Everyone knows that many basic things will not disappear. The foundation of South Africa has always been there, but a change is needed.

If South Africa's determination to change this time is strong enough, and the support of companies like Dafeng Group is deep enough, we must clearly realize that South Africa itself is not a backward country. "

"So we have to start to increase the promotion and support of domestic technological development. After all, South Africa is a catcher, and we are still ahead. If we can come up with the same conditions, I believe we can maintain our advantage.

In addition, the market has somewhat overreacted to Google's affairs. Google left us in Australia not because of our bad market, but because of Google's own problems.

So another thing to do now is to speed up the attraction to other companies in Silicon Valley. Didn’t Microsoft say before that it would increase investment in our side? Hurry up and follow them to see what kind of conditions they want.

South Africa is up and running, and we can't sit still.

Now we must first stabilize the confidence of the market and avoid unnecessary panic. "

Soon, Australia also began to support various technological developments, and also publicized the news that Microsoft had established the largest laboratory in Australia in a high-profile manner.

However, the Australian stock market has been drifting lower.

In fact, technology stocks have stopped falling under the stimulus of Australia's policy, but the problem is that more resource stocks have begun to decline.

There was another meeting on the Australian side, and some videos were playing in the conference room.

In addition to Meng Qian, Ma Yun and others also came to South Africa to promote the development of the project.

For example, Ma Yun first went to a wine estate in South Africa. South Africa is the seventh largest wine producing area in the world. Ma Yun recorded a video and posted it on Fengxin, giving high praise to South African wine. Chinese users will soon be able to buy South African wines at affordable prices on Taobao.

After that, Ma Yun went to various farms and pastures in South Africa. Regarding the crops in South Africa, Ma Yun said that he will launch Ali's global procurement platform, and the whole world can purchase South African products through Ali's global procurement and supply platform.

At this time, Meng Qian was observing ore processing in South Africa at a mine in South Africa. Meng Qian pointed out that in South Africa's industrial upgrading plan, South Africa's mining industry will be the core industry of the first batch of industrial upgrading.

Through industrial upgrading, the efficiency and precision of ore mining and ore processing in South Africa will be improved, the competitiveness of South Africa's ore will be enhanced, and South African ore will be better exported.

At the same time, a number of Chinese mining companies also appeared in South Africa, and won several mines in South Africa, preparing to mine in South Africa, and together with Meng Qian to build South Africa's mining industry.

"Huaxia Enterprises' actions in South Africa are a bit too frequent, and we have to pay attention to it.

South Africa is rich in mining and agricultural and animal husbandry resources, but it has always been less competitive than ours. Once this competitiveness rises, it will affect our market competitiveness. "

"And they are now focusing on mining and agriculture and animal husbandry, and they always feel that they are a bit targeted.

Huaxia has always been our largest trading partner. Last year, our exports to Huaxia reached 80 billion yuan, accounting for 35% of the total export.

And our main export products are mining, agriculture and animal husbandry. Now Meng Qian and the others are deliberately discussing cooperation in mining, agriculture and animal husbandry in South Africa.

If you lose the Huaxia market, you can imagine the consequences."

"Once Huaxia reduces our imports of mining, agriculture and animal husbandry, we will lose tens of billions of dollars a year. If other countries also look at South Africa more, it will be really troublesome.

This is also the key to the recent sudden drop in domestic resource stocks. "

"But South Africa's production capacity may not be able to keep up?"

"South Africa's production capacity may not be able to keep up, but ... there are other countries that have responded."

The development of things has exceeded Australia's imagination. After all, the world is driven by profit. When everyone sees the rapid development of South Africa with the help of Chinese enterprises, it is impossible not to be envious.

For example, Brazil took the initiative to join in.

Brazil is China's second largest importer of iron ore and Australia's biggest competitor. Similarly, Brazil is also a country in the southern hemisphere. Under the previous world structure, it was difficult for Brazil and South Africa to compete with Australia for the status of the center of the southern hemisphere.

But now that South Africa can do it, why can't I do it in Brazil.

Brazil's move is tantamount to shouting, hey, look here, there is Brazil in the southern hemisphere.

When it comes to development, developed countries tend to be more conservative, just like Europe has not stood in line until now, but developing countries are more radical, especially some developing countries that are already developing well, how can they keep up if they are not radical? Compared with established developed countries.

"Brazil's minerals are our biggest competitor, and now we add South Africa."

"Actually, we still have enough advantages if we just simply fight for reserves, but the problem is that companies like Huaxia have not only brought about a revolution in traditional industries, but have also brought about a revolution in the sales channels of traditional industries.

In the new supply chain era, the value of production capacity is being reduced, and the significance of the supply chain is becoming greater and greater, and Dafeng Group is one of the top three supply chain companies in the world. "

"There is one more thing you should not forget. This time, Chinese companies have invested heavily in green energy in South Africa. With the development of green energy technology, the world will become less and less dependent on traditional mining.

This is also a huge negative for us. "

"What's the reaction from Silicon Valley?"

"Over there in Silicon Valley. They recently sent people to South Africa for investigation."

"What?!"

"Enterprises are all about profit first."

". Let's stabilize the stock market first. It can't fall anymore. Then, let's ease the relationship first."

Soon, Australia introduced some policies to stimulate the stock market. At the same time, some Australian media began to speak out, saying that Australia and China have been good friends for more than ten years and have always had a very good cooperative relationship. In the future, I hope everyone can continue to maintain this friendly.

Seeing Australia's attitude change, a piece of news directly broke the warmth that had just begun.

Dafeng Investment has sued AMP Bank Co., Ltd., Australia's West Pacific Bank and the executives of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia for alleged unfair competition, and has sent Hangzhou Pizza Hut to Australia.

Australia's financial regulation is the world's leading, which is one of the fundamental reasons why Australia can become one of the world's top ten financial centers and recover quickly after the 2008 financial crisis.

Therefore, for the world's top ten financial centers like Australia, regulatory reputation is far more important than actual financial performance, which is their financial core.

However, from 2018 to 2019, there will be a spectacle in the Australian financial industry, that is, almost every week, a financial industry executive will break the rules.

Many professionals analyzed that the success of the financial crisis in 2008 seemed to make Australia's financial management start to drift.

As for why, Meng Qian can't analyze clearly, nor is he interested in analyzing clearly. For him, it is enough that Australia's financial executives really have such a big hidden danger.

Now, Meng Qian began to sue them, uncovering their fig leaf.

Dafeng Group is not like a US company that can allow the US to directly go to the long-arm jurisdiction to convict people. It can only prosecute according to the legal process on a case-by-case basis.

But Meng Qian is not worried, because all the prosecutions are true

For a while, the Australian stock market, which was still falling steadily, directly ushered in a one-day plunge.

The stock market decline, which was supposed to be about to stop, has continued in this life.

The Australian dollar, which fell by 3% in the second quarter, has fallen by more than 5% all the way.

Just like Moffitt, head of the Asia-Pacific income department at Goldman Sachs, said, "One of the reasons people buy the Australian dollar and be bullish on the Australian stock market is that its yield is relatively high, but now things have changed. Australia-China trade risks have surged. Convergence and thunderstorms in Australia’s financial regulation will make investors choose to abandon Australian dollar investment and be bearish on the Australian stock market.”

More and more investment institutions began to be bearish on the Australian dollar and the Australian stock market. For a while, the Australian foreign exchange stocks fell, ushering in a financial turmoil with no clear future.
