Preface:
Hey, friends, let's talk about an international drama today, which is more ups and downs than the drama - the "little awkwardness" of the EU and Hungary, how did we get involved in China's investment? Don't worry, the editor will take you to find out, which is guaranteed to make you watch it with relish, and you can also learn a new posture of "eating melons"!
Hungary's "love and kill" with the EU
Speaking of Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban, that is a master who "takes an unusual path".
His "deep friendship" with Russia is simply more remarkable than the warm sun in winter.
From frequent exchange visits to public support, Orban has interpreted what it means to be an "iron buddy" with his actions.
No, the friends of the EU can't sit still, and they have mixed feelings in their hearts, and they all cast "why don't you follow the script" looks.
The EU's response was swift, first "snubbing" Dafa, the meeting did not take you to play, and the meeting was held in a different place, as if to say: "Hmph, you can play by yourself!" Then, as soon as the results of the European Parliament vote came out, Hungary felt the "pressure" from the organization.
This scene is like a group of friends partying, and suddenly someone sings the opposite tune, and the atmosphere is instantly embarrassing to the extreme.
The "Sweet Trap" of Chinese Investment
Just when the EU and Hungary were "competing", our Chinese enterprises were not idle, and people in Hungary were "large-scale" investments, spending thousands of dollars, totaling more than 19 billion euros, converted into RMB, that is, more than 150 billion!
BYD's electric vehicles are speeding through the streets of Hungary, CATL's battery factories are contributing to Europe's green energy, and Huashuo Technology is working silently there.
These investments have not only brought a spring of jobs to Hungary, but also introduced advanced technology and management experience, which is simply a model of win-win.
For Chinese enterprises, this is a golden key to open the European market, and the future is promising.
If you "break up", how to invest?
However, having said that, if the EU and Hungary really "break up", won't our Chinese investment become a "willow in the wind" and waver? Don't panic, the editor will give you a detailed analysis.
First of all, supply chain disruptions are no joke.
As a member of the European Union, Hungary enjoys various logistics and trade conveniences, and once it "withdraws", these advantages will be lost.
Our goods have to take a detour, not to mention the soaring cost, and the time can't be consumed! It's like ordering takeout and suddenly overstepping the area, the delivery fee is frighteningly expensive, and you have to wait for half a day.
In addition, the cost of doing business has to rise with the tide.
Reconfiguring the supply chain is not as simple as changing addresses, you have to renegotiate, sign contracts, and consider the new market environment, and there are a lot of headaches.
Our "self-help cheats"
However, we Chinese have always paid attention to the concept of "soldiers come to block, water comes to cover".
When faced with such challenges, we must also have our own coping strategies.
The first trick, you must know that Europe is vast, and we can find a "new love"! Germany, France, Poland, etc., which is not a good place with great investment potential? These places not only have well-developed infrastructure, but also have huge market potential.
Maybe you can start a new chapter of investment there! Germany, for example, has an advanced manufacturing base that provides a solid foundation for investment; France's rich cultural industry and high-end consumer market have also created countless opportunities for investment; The rapid economic development of Poland in recent years has attracted the attention of many investors.
The second move is to further strengthen bilateral agreements and institutional safeguards.
This is actually like putting an indestructible "body armor" on the investment.
With these bilateral agreements and memoranda of understanding, our investments can be more secured.
Even if the wind and waves are high and rough ahead, we can deal with it calmly, as if we are walking leisurely.
For example, by signing specific BITs, the rights and obligations of both parties are clarified, and clear legal guidance and protection are provided for investment enterprises. Formulate relevant institutional guarantees, standardize investment behavior, reduce investment risks, and enable investors to conduct business with more peace of mind.
The editor has something to say:
Although this "little awkwardness" between the EU and Hungary has temporarily caused our Chinese investment to fall into a little "small embarrassment", we have the wisdom and courage to face it.
After all, in this era of globalization, there are no hurdles that cannot be overcome, only unexpected opportunities.
Let's wait and see how this drama ends up and what role Chinese investment can play in it. Remember, no matter the wind or rain, we are the strongest "melon-eating masses"!
