At this meal, both parties drank very highly. Tang Zifeng drank an average amount of alcohol, and after touching a glass with each of the other party, he asked the secretary Xiong Kai to block the other drinks. Tang Zifeng's level was there, and the people of Factory 82 were not too presumptuous, and after a few rounds of toasting, they caught and fought within themselves, and several factory leaders drank high, and said something that should not be said properly, which made Fan Chaodong quite embarrassed for a while.

After drinking and eating, Song Yajing went out with a cold drink, and came back with a sad face after a while. She put her mouth to Fan Chaodong's ear and whispered a few words, Fan Chaodong's eyes immediately widened, looking at Tang Zifeng, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

"What, Director Fan, is there anything wrong?" Tang Zifeng took a peanut with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth, chewed it squeakily, and asked Fan Chaodong with a smile.

"Mr. Tang, what do you mean by this, isn't this a slap in the face of our 82 factory?" Fan Chaodong said.

"What kind of slap in the face?" Several factory leaders on the side turned their eyes.

Fan Chaodong looked at everyone and said softly: "Xiao Song went to settle the account just now, only to know that Mr. Tang settled the account first. ”

"What!"

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked at Tang Zifeng's eyes, it was clear that something was wrong.

Tang Zifeng smiled slightly and said to everyone: "Why are you looking at me like this? We are two companies having dinner together today, you are Party A, we are Party B." Isn't it a matter of course for Party B to pay? I just don't know if everyone eats and drinks well. Xiao Tang, I am young and have little experience, if there is anything slacking, please bear with me. ”

"Mr. Tang, what you said ......" Ke Guoqiang had mixed feelings, and he suddenly had countless admiration for Tang Zifeng in his heart.

Today's meal, the reason is that Factory 82 is sorry for Tengji, and when Tang Zifeng went to Factory 82 to theorize, he was given a cold reception by Fan Chaodong, and Fan Chaodong set up this banquet to apologize to Tang Zifeng.

Previously, Tang Zifeng asked Xiong Kai to hint to Song Yajing that all the factory leaders of Factory 82 must be present before he would come to the banquet. Fan Chaodong was pinched by Tang Zifeng, so he had to do so and summoned all the factory leaders to the capital, which can be described as a great humiliation.

In an exchange before the meal, the two sides reached a consensus, which can be regarded as exposing the past contradictions. But the matter on the table was solved, and the matter on everyone's face was not solved, and the 82 factory was face-saving this time, and the youngest factory leader who was 10 years older than Tang Zifeng made a special trip to apologize to a young man.

What everyone didn't expect was that Tang Zifeng, who had forced the 82 factory to put wine before, would quietly settle the bill. In this way, this meal has become Tang Zifeng inviting the leaders of Factory 82 to eat, and things like the so-called apology do not exist. Everyone went to the capital, Tang Zifeng ate everyone, what else do you have to complain about?

This young man is incredible!

This was the thought that welled up in the hearts of everyone present.

When it was time to be tough, people dared to say that he would not come if one less factory leader attended, and when he arrived, he counted in front of everyone, bullying people to the extreme. But when it's time to compromise, people will settle the account first without saying a word and sell you a big face.

This kind of inter-enterprise dinner, of course, is with public funds, whether it is the 82 factory or the Linji Group, it is not bad for this meal. Who can pay for it involves respect for the other party. Tang Zifeng took advantage of the reason, and also gave everyone a round face, this sleekness, which is what they are sighing about in their 40s and 50s.

"Mr. Tang, your friend, my old Fan has made it!" Fan Chaodong took Tang Zifeng's hand and said sincerely.

Tang Zifeng smiled: "Haha, then Xiao Tang, I'm scared." Director Fan, you may not know, in terms of generation, I have to call you uncle. ”

"Where does this start?" Fan Chaodong said in surprise.

Tang Zifeng said: "Chief Engineer Xiao of Chutian 17 Institute is my father-in-law. He said he knew you well, too. ”

"You turned out to be Lao Xiao's son-in-law! I and Lao Xiao have been friends for many years. No, no, you have to call me uncle. Fan Chaodong shouted.

When he said this, he really didn't want to take advantage of Tang Zifeng, but wanted to use this method to get close to Tang Zifeng.

Tang Zifeng also had the same thoughts, and said with a smile: "This is not good, just now Director Fan said that he wanted me to make friends, then I can only call Director Fan Brother Fan." ”

"I don't believe that when you see Xiao Ming, your name is also Brother Xiao. ”

"It's really called, Lao Xiao doesn't mind......"

"You're ruthless!"

Teng Ji shook hands with the 82 factory, Zhong Xu took Tang Zifeng's idea to report to the leaders, and at the same time, Xu Zhaojian and other old leaders also actively appealed, proposing to establish a backup mechanism for equipment as soon as possible to avoid being stuck by Western countries at a critical time.

The matter was finally approved by the central government, and a working group composed of the national defense science and industry system and the local equipment manufacturing department was established. The official name of this working group is "Equipment Manufacturing 2020 Work Leading Group", but in private, everyone is happy to use the term invented by Tang Zifeng: spare tire group.

"Zifeng, you want to carry out this spare tire plan, why did you get involved with me? The new house I bought with your mother in Wulang City was transferred to the capital before I lived in it for a few days, and all the flowers I raised had to die. ”

In the large living room of Tang Zifeng's house, Xiao Ming, the former chief engineer of Chutian 17 Institute and Tang Zifeng's father-in-law, complained to Tang Zifeng while teasing his little grandson who was tired of being in his arms.

The spare tire team was established, and an executive agency was set up under it, namely the "Office of the Leading Group for Equipment Manufacturing 2020". Xu Zhaojian's election as the director of the office was actually to use his prestige in the military and civilian circles to coordinate the relations between all parties. Xu Zhaojian is almost 90 years old this year, although he is still very healthy, he is no longer the age that can be called by a donkey, besides, who dares to call him.

It is also a common practice that the specific affairs of the office are handled by the executive deputy director of the office. As for the selection of the executive deputy director, there have been some minor troubles.

Of course, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry hopes to find a cadre in its own system to be the executive deputy director, so that the interests of the system can be taken care of more in everything. However, after all, this working mechanism involves both the military industry and the local government, and the people selected from the military industrial system are often not familiar enough with the local situation, and there will be some obstacles when coordinating the work.

The most important thing is that the local enterprises involved in this working mechanism are mainly dozens of large state-owned machine tool enterprises under the Second Bureau of the former Ministry of Machinery. The largest of these machine tool companies formed an organization called "Machine 20", and the person in charge of this organization was Tang Zifeng.

With Tang Zifeng as the representative of local enterprises, the leaders of the Science and Technology Industry Commission have 120 unsteadyness in their hearts. They understand that an ordinary cadre in the military industrial system will definitely have the upper hand in the face of Tang Zifeng, and he may be sold by Tang Zifeng in three or two sentences.

In the end, Fan Chaodong, the director of Factory 82, made a move, saying that although Tang Zifeng was powerful, it was not that no one could suppress him. Xiao Ming, the chief engineer of Chutian 17, is Tang Zifeng's father-in-law, and no matter how domineering Tang Zifeng is, he won't dare to bare his teeth with his father-in-law, right? If Xiao Ming is transferred over to serve as this executive deputy director, he won't have to worry about not being able to have a good relationship with local enterprises.

In this way, the Commission of Science and Technology urgently ordered Xiao Ming to work in the capital. Xiao Ming hung up an idle post in the Science and Technology Commission, and his official job was the executive deputy director of the spare tire team.

Hearing his father-in-law's nagging, Tang Zifeng said with a smiling face: "Dad, aren't I also here to reunite the family?" Wen Jun always chattered in front of me, saying that you are also old, you will retire in a few years, and there is nothing to do in the 17th institute, it is better to come to the capital early, everyone can be lively.

"Look, Yanqi can already walk, how fun it is, you and your mother don't want to play with your grandson more?"

"The Commission of Science and Technology transferred me to the capital, but I didn't ask me to take care of your children, I came to work. Xiao Ming said with a pretended face. But he was not the kind of person who would make a tone and wanted to pose in front of his son-in-law, but he always had the feeling that painting a tiger was not the opposite of a dog.

Tang Zifeng said with a smile: "Dad, don't make a mistake, the Science and Technology Commission transferred you to the capital, just to let you take the child for me." I can see through it, the gang of people in the Commission of Science and Technology just want to take advantage of your relationship with me to force me to do things for them, and they are the kind that bring their own dry food. ”

Xiao Ming said: "Zifeng, your thinking is not right, what are you and ours, aren't everyone all for the country's affairs? The leaders of the Science and Technology Industry Commission very much agree with the spare tire plan you put forward this time, saying that you have a strategic vision and can be a handsome talent. But at the same time, the leaders of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry also told me that you have a very strong sense of self-centeredness, and sometimes for the sake of your own enterprises, you ignore the overall situation of military production.

"I can tell you that in the future cooperation between the two sides, if this kind of thing happens, I will not care about your face, I will say what I should say, I should act according to the contract, I will never open my mouth. ”

"Old man, don't worry. Tang Zifeng couldn't cry or laugh, "Now I'm worried that you won't act according to the contract, lend me a gut, and I don't dare to rely on the accounts of the military industrial system." Let me tell you, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xie have already greeted the leaders of our machine tool enterprises, saying that they want everything to serve the military industry, if we dare to engage in self-centeredness, we don't need you to clean up me, they will clean me up. ”

"That's pretty much it. Xiao Ming's face showed laugh lines. Seriously, he really didn't have the confidence to be able to control his son-in-law, and since he received the appointment, he had been worried about how he would negotiate with his son-in-law if he really didn't care about the overall situation.

Now that he heard that Xu Zhaojian and the others had spoken and put several golden hoops on his son-in-law's head, he was relieved. When to ask for a tight spell from Xu Lao, you are not afraid of your son-in-law turning the sky.
