I turned my heart to the moon, but the moon shines on the ditch.
This is probably the inner portrayal of many Chinese new energy enterprises, such as Guoxuan Gaoke and Ningde Times, who want to expand the American market.
If we want to become a global enterprise and have global competitiveness, we must participate in global competition and cooperation, and face various difficulties and challenges in the market and even outside the market. You should never back down unless you have to.
Anti-globalization prevails, but global division of labor and cooperation are still the essence of business.
Enterprise organization is precisely the lubricant to solve all kinds of deep-seated contradictions and problems, and the good way to eliminate all kinds of misunderstandings and barriers.
, the local government wanted Guoxuan 23. But many people did not pay the bill, and even launched a petition to recall the town committee.".

"You can't do business like this in the United States"
Guoxuan Gaoke's location is next to an airport in Big Rapids and less than 100 miles from Camp Grayling, a National Guard training base. Relations between China and the United States have been strained
in recent years, and some local residents are wary of Chinese companies. However, some people believe that the Guoxuan project should draw a clear line with some disharmonious events. Green Charter Township of
Grand Rapids approved the company's plan to set up a factory there on August 1, hoping that Guoxuan will bring economic development. In April, the Michigan government approved funding for the project. 1
. Farmer Lori Brock's 150-acre farm in Green Township is less than a mile from Guoxuan's planned electric vehicle battery factory. Many rallies have been organized here to protest against the construction of Guoxuan Factory.
Block's biggest concern is the impact on the environment: "Let him set up a factory in a heavy industrial area like Detroit. This is rural America. It's all farmland."
"Guoxuan said the plant plans to pump 750,000 gallons of water a day, and there is already a mineral water plant upstream using water, and our aquifer can't meet that demand." Block accused the local government of failing to conduct an environmental review of Guoxuan's plan to set up a factory.
"The factory has to transport 300 trucks of lithium battery raw materials every day, and once the truck rolls over, we have no ability to clean up the pollution.". About a mile east of the planned Guoxuan site, the Muskegon River flows into the Great Lakes on the U.S.-Canada border. "That would contaminate our drinking water and kill wildlife," Mr. Block said.
, she said there had been a suspected plot by Guoxuan to buy farmland from at least seven farms, including her.". "Someone drove up to my farm in an SUV and offered me $22 million to buy my farm, and I turned it down," Block said. "But I didn't leave the contract they brought, so I have no proof."
Bullock said that after she refused to sell the land, someone reported her farm to the state government for violating the rules. "I suspect this is the work of Guoxuan people." Bullock said the investigation proved that there was nothing wrong with her farm. In addition, she had to move her foal and pregnant mare away from the street after someone threatened to kill her horse online.
"That's not how we do business in the United States." A series of actions made Block angry, "All in secret, Guoxuan's information is not transparent, but also threats to residents who are unwilling to sell land, all of which make me feel nausea about the company.". Now I don't believe anything they say.
"I bought this farm 10 acres, 15 acres, bit by bit.". "I've had my eye on this land since I came to college when I was 20, and now I finally have it, and I don't want to lose it," Block said.

"Poor Green Town, a rare opportunity for generations"
Green Township has one of the lowest incomes in Michigan, with a population of just over three thousand. Young people are not satisfied with the wages here and choose to leave, or commute an hour or two every day to work in big cities. "I want my grandchildren to have the opportunity to stay in their hometown and have time to grow up with their children and have dinner with their families," Chapman said.
Chapman called Guoxuan's presence "a rare opportunity for generations". Guoxuan plans to invest $2.34 billion to build a factory in the area, promising 2350 jobs with an average hourly wage of 24.
"These investments will also have a multiplier effect, benefiting local businesses, hiring more employees, and more students at the local Frith State University," Chapman said. Employing construction teams to clean up and construct will have a driving effect on our economy.
Guoxuan purchased the local "Renaissance area" 270 acres of land to build a factory. "That piece of land was planned for industrial use 20 years ago, but almost no one is interested in it." Chapman said that if we refuse Guoxuan to settle in now, we will not only miss the opportunity of economic development, but also affect future business opportunities. "If the previous batch of people who want to invest have been shut out, Why do other people spend so much money, energy and time to go here? "I also care about environmental safety, and I hope that the review department will do its best." The problem, he said, is that "the protesters don't know the order of things, and they have to approve the plan before they can do the environmental review."
If the review is passed, Guoxuan may start building factories next year and start production two years later.
Chapman agrees that Guoxuan's Chinese background makes residents suspicious, "but Guoxuan is a subsidiary registered in the United States." "I don't see anything in the company's documents that concerns me," Mr. Chapman said. He believes that if Guoxuan is not a Chinese enterprise, it will never face such great resistance. "Some people don't want to accept change, so they make a big fuss." In a report in June, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which
is responsible for reviewing the risk of foreign investment to national security, pointed out that the Guoxuan land purchase project was not within the scope of the committee's review.
