When it comes to the impression of France, it is often French food, wine and luxury goods, but how can France be among the five permanent seats of the United Nations, without a little industrial "hard power"!
When I understood the strength of France, I realized that it turned out that France's industrial strength had always been underestimated!
●—≺ France is "big" and "small"≻—●
When it comes to industrial development, people tend to think that Japan and Germany are more bullish, so why do people think this way? In fact, we are still "short-sighted".
In daily life, it is difficult for ordinary people to see heavy mecha such as aircraft and cannons, but cars are running all over the streets, and even a large number of people have their own cars.
So, Japan and Germany, which are relatively good in the automotive field, are not just stained?
In addition to the local Chinese brands running on the street, the most common people see Japanese and German cars, so it is natural to think that the industry in Germany and Japan is more developed.
After a long time, it has stayed in the minds of the common people.
But is that really the case? In other words, there is more to industry than just cars!
There is also a very real question, which has been ignored by everyone, that is, whether France is big or not, according to everyone's impression, even if France is small, it is bigger than the Japanese "island country", right?
How much can a place as small as Japan do?
But if you look at it carefully, France really has some congenital conditions that are not as good as Japan's, that is, its population.
Don't look at France, which is much larger than Japan, but the population is far less than that of Japan, which has 125 million people, while France has only 67.971 million.
This land area is basically half larger than others, how can it be that when it comes to the population, it is not as good as half of a family?
The population is too small, which may be a flaw in France, we often say that "more people are stronger", a country, if there are fewer people, there will definitely be less work, which will definitely affect the development of this, more people will be more talents, and the natural development will be faster.
But for France to be in such a weak situation, its industrial strength is no worse than that of Germany and Japan, which is already very good!
●—≺ French industrial achievements≻—●
So, where is the strength of France's industry, we might as well broaden our horizons, in addition to automobiles, there are many fields that belong to industrial development.
For example, military and civilian, nuclear energy development, automobiles, aircraft, aerospace, ships, communications, etc., whether it is heavy industry or light industry, there is no field that France is not involved in, and moreover, France is doing well, and even some fields are at the top level.
The most famous is "Michelin tires", when it comes to cars, you may think of Japanese and German cars, but when you think of tires, the first thing that comes to mind is Michelin tires.
Michelin tires are one of the world's three giants of tires, and they have a very good status in the world.
It can be said that Michelin tires are the best in the hearts of the people, and even the three words Michelin have become the representatives of stars, what is going on?
In fact, the good of Michelin tires is already a recognized fact, and later Michelin tire company in 1900, released a "Michelin Guide", although this is just a magazine, only once a year to update, but the weight of this magazine, but the industry is afraid.
Because all the "best" are included in this magazine, only the best can be honored to be written in this magazine.
And one of the areas is actually "rice".
Obviously, Michelin Tire Company produces tires, how can you still judge everyone's meal?
In fact, it is precisely because of such cross-border behavior that it can prove the weight of Michelin tires in the world, and people are willing to listen and believe that what is recognized by Michelin is the best.
This is also the origin of the "Michelin restaurant".
A Michelin restaurant is not a restaurant, but a criterion, and the content of the Michelin Guide is not scribbled, but is a result obtained by experts from all walks of life who are personally present to judge.
If a brand can be regarded as a "benchmark" and "measuring standard", does that mean that the brand is already the top in the industry? And it's global.
From this point of view, France is already a bullish existence, but his power is more than that.
When it comes to the passenger aircraft market, one we can think of is Boeing and the other is Airbus, and Airbus is dominated by France.
Although Airbus is a multi-country European holding, its headquarters are located in France.
With flying in the sky and running on the ground, France is not without achievements in the automotive field, Peugeot and Renault are the representatives of French cars, and they are not small in the world.
Speaking of swimming in the water, France also has its own abacus, and the GTT company that allows the French car ship to receive patent fees is French.
There's no way, people have patents in hand, even if they make more ships, don't they have to pay patent fees to others?
Especially South Korea, which is even more inseparable, every time a ship business is done, a large amount of patent fees must be sent to France, and this amount is not small.
From one point of view, it is really lying down and doing nothing, and the money is in the pocket, but although France is happy, South Korea should be very angry.
In addition to flying in the sky and running on the ground, and swimming in the sea, what else do people can't do without in life? Use your imagination to think the same.
It must be electricity, and the power company doesn't dare to stop it for a minute, and the French power company is even more so.
The French company EDF is Europe's largest exporter of electricity, including nuclear power.
In the area of power companies, France is definitely far ahead.
After talking about these hard guys, then for women, there is also their most important thing, that is, skin care products, when it comes to skin care products, there should be few women who have not heard of L'Oreal, and this is French.
The brand L'Oreal can be said to have considered all the needs of women, and it is no wonder that this brand can do so hot.
After reading so many introductions, do you think that French industry is underestimated?
