Hearing Feng Xiaochen say this, Luo Xiangfei smiled helplessly and said, "It would be a big fuss to let the discipline inspection department investigate such a thing." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This kind of thing is to put it bluntly, it is a marginal ball of policy, and it is difficult to prohibit it explicitly. However, your reminder is also reasonable, and when the Economic Commission meets next time, I will bring this issue to the meeting and ask all departments to be more vigilant in this regard and not to betray their principles for personal gain. ”

"That's all there is to it. Feng Xiaochen said helplessly.

There is a mystery in Luo Xiangfei's words. He said that principles should not be betrayed, but in fact he meant that on non-principled issues, it was understandable to make some deals. In China's bureaucratic discourse environment, the word "principle" is mysterious. The ancients knew that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and it is probably unrealistic to ask officials with some power in their hands to refuse all temptations. As a result, there is the so-called principle, which cannot be violated within the principle, and there is some room for accommodation outside the principle, otherwise everyone will have no motivation to work.

Let's just say that Luo Xiangfei himself is not the kind of person who is absolutely inflexible. At the beginning, he brought a temporary worker like Feng Xiaochen to the capital and entrusted him with an important task, strictly speaking, even if it was a kind of commander's will, it did not meet the regulations of general recruiters. Also, this time he asked Tian Wenjian to arrange for Luo Yutong to participate in the negotiations with Avaleigh, and if he wants to be held accountable, it can be regarded as using power for personal gain, and not every college student can get this kind of social practice opportunity.

But all of these can be included in the category of edge balls, and they do not belong to "violating principles", so Luo Xiangfei did it, and he didn't feel guilty. Compared with those cadres who engage in favoritism and have no bottom line, Luo Xiangfei should be regarded as very clean.

Feng Xiaochen then talked about some other common business methods in international trade, and Luo Xiangfei wrote them down one by one, saying that he should be vigilant. Some of these methods Luo Xiangfei had heard of or come into contact with, but they didn't know more details, and some were simply unheard of by Luo Xiangfei, which was very shocking at first glance. After listening to Feng Xiaochen, Luo Xiangfei asked with a smile: "Xiao Feng, I'm strange, you don't have a lot of international cooperation projects, how can you know so many crooked things?"

"Director Luo, don't forget, I have an aunt who works as a patent attorney in Europe. This knowledge is relatively unfamiliar to our country, but it is common knowledge in Western countries. My aunt has come back to China for the past two years, and I have asked her a lot of questions. Feng Xiaochen said nonsense without blinking.

Luo Xiangfei nodded and said with emotion: "It seems that the next time Ms. Feng comes over, we should ask her to give a lecture to the leaders and middle-level cadres of the Economic Commission and talk about the business rules of Western countries." If we want to carry out reform and opening up, we will suffer a big loss if we do not understand these rules. ”

"Exactly. Feng Xiaochen said, "Let's just say that this Avaré project, aren't people just prying into our corners? We don't understand these cats, just going around in circles on the issues of technology and price, and no matter how much we talk with others, it's just the same thing as a duck, and it has no effect." ”

"In your opinion, what does this Gai Zhan want?" Luo Xiangfei pulled the conversation back to the point and asked Feng Xiaochen.

Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this yet. Director Wang said that he would try to find some people who knew about the situation in Avaray and ask them, and we would talk about it when we got the exact information. ”

"What if......," Luo Xiang said, "I mean what if." Gajan wants to get a rebate on this project, how do we do that?"

"If it's within reason, then give it to him. Feng Xiaochen replied without hesitation.

"Is there a reasonable range of kickbacks?" Luo Xiangfei asked half-jokingly.

Feng Xiaochen said seriously: "This reasonableness does not mean legality. Legally, any kickbacks are embezzlement and certainly illegal. But in a country like Avare, where the legal system is not sound enough and there are many loopholes in government management, it is tacitly reasonable for officials to accept kickbacks. We are not the discipline inspection department of Avare, so there is no need to deal with their corruption. I think we can accede to Gajan's request as long as it is within the default rules. ”

"So, how are we going to pay these kickbacks? Do we have to have the Import and Export Corporation directly remit a sum of money to him?" Luo Xiangfei asked.

"Of course not. Feng Xiaochen said, "We are a socialist country, and the Import and Export Corporation is a socialist enterprise, so how can we openly send money to an official? We should find a consulting company, pay them a consulting fee, and let them help do some work such as design and training." As for the fact that the amount of consulting fees paid is a little too high and exceeds the value of the work itself, no one will be held accountable. ”

"Transfer money through a consulting firm. Luo Xiangfei understood what Feng Xiaochen meant, couldn't help frowning, and said, "Is this also the business practice you are talking about?"

"Exactly. Feng Xiaochen replied.

Luo Xiangfei hesitated for a while and said, "There are two obstacles to doing this. First of all, whether the state can allow such behavior, this point, I will ask the leadership for instructions, if it is an international business practice, we do not have to be too stubborn. Secondly, it is how to find such a consulting company, which must not be operated by a state-run institution. ”

"We can find an international consulting company to do it. Feng Xiaochen said, "There is no such organization in our country, but there are many consulting companies in the world that specialize in this kind of thing. Not to mention this kind of business cooperation, even in the U.S. election, there are countless consulting companies helping behind-the-scenes financiers, which is allowed by law in Western countries. ”

"This is a typical example of having to make a table again, and to set up a memorial arch again. Luo Xiangfei couldn't help but say a dirty word.

Feng Xiaochen echoed: "The things in the world are all fame and fortune. ”

"It's a good idea to find an international consulting firm. Luo Xiangfei said, after speaking, he stared at Feng Xiaochen again, and said solemnly: "However, Xiao Feng, there is one thing I want to remind you in advance, this company must not have anything to do with you. Or more precisely, can't have anything to do with your uncle or aunt. You are still young, don't let things like this affect your future. ”

"I understand!" Feng Xiaochen replied solemnly.

In fact, when analyzing that Gai Zhan might have the idea of getting kickbacks, Feng Xiaochen was thinking about specific coping strategies. It is an out-and-out international practice to convey benefits through international consulting firms, and it is an open secret in Western business societies that Western companies are very familiar with it. Feng Xiaochen's first thought was that he could find such a company through the relationship of his aunt Feng Shuyi, or even directly use Feng Shuyi's Ruttenberg patent firm to do it.

Speaking from his heart, when Feng Xiaochen was thinking about this issue, he didn't think about what benefits he wanted to get from it. If he wants to make money, he will only rely on his own ability to make some fair and honest money, such as making money through Chenyu Company. As a traverser, he has countless golden fingers to make himself rich and rival the country, why is there any need to make some shady fame and earn the kind of black-hearted money that digs into the corners of the country?

However, Luo Xiangfei's reminder gave Feng Xiaochen a very important warning. I am participating in more and more projects, and when I am in this kind of melon field, even if I have a clear conscience, I still have to consider the opinions of others. If the consulting company he found had a relationship with Feng Hua, Feng Shuyi and others, then there would inevitably be some people who would have to make irresponsible remarks, and he would not be able to wash himself away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Although in the absence of evidence, the leader will not do anything to himself. However, in the organs, having such doubts is extremely detrimental to one's own development. If some people with ulterior motives use it to reverse black and white, I am afraid that I will have to be tired of dealing with those rumors in the future, and I will not have time to do business.

It will take some time for the king to ask people to find out about the situation in Avare. Negotiations with Avaray are still ongoing, and even if the price has not been agreed, there are still some details such as technology and services that can be discussed between the two sides. The reception staff on the Chinese side are not pedantic people, and often arrange some programs for foreign guests to visit the Great Wall and taste roast duck after negotiations.

In these days, Feng Xiaochen is busy and happy. Every morning when he opened his eyes, Du Xiaodi had already made breakfast, and the two of them sat in the courtyard drinking porridge and gossiping. During the day, Feng Xiaochen went to work in the unit, and Du Xiaodi took the map drawn by Feng Xiaochen to play in the capital. Feng Xiaochen once proposed to take two days off to play with Du Xiaodi, but Du Xiaodi refused, on the grounds that work was important, and Feng Xiaochen couldn't say anything.

In the afternoon, Feng Xiaochen returned home from work, if he met Du Xiaodi who came back early, the two of them would cook dinner together, and if Du Xiaodi came back late, they would go to Huiming Restaurant for dinner together. After dinner, Feng Xiaochen would accompany Du Xiaodi to Beihai, Houhai and other places for a walk and chat about the topics of the South China Sea and the North of the World. Feng Xiaochen has two lifetimes of experience, especially from an era of information explosion, there are a lot of things to talk about, which has repeatedly made Du Xiaodi listen to it as if he was intoxicated, and his worship for his lover is like the water of the Yellow River, gushing endlessly.

The relationship between the two is heating up rapidly, but physical contact is limited to holding hands in situations where no one is looking. Du Xiaodi is a good girl, and before she reported it to her parents, she was very cautious about relationship problems. Feng Xiaochen naturally won't do something against the will of girls, after all, this era is still quite conservative.
