After meeting with Chen Kun and Cui Yongfeng, Feng Xiaochen and Wang Genji went to the Northwest Provincial Office in Beijing to meet with officials of the Northwest Provincial Economic and Trade Commission. This conversation was far less casual than the previous conversation with Chen Kun, the officials of the Northwest Province seemed polite, but all the words must be leaky, just add a quotation in front of each sentence, so that people can't find any fault.

However, Feng Xiaochen still heard their intention from the other party's tone, that is, to promote the joint venture between Sanli and Qin Zhong no matter what, and it is of course better to not let Sanli take control, but if Sanli insists on holding the shares, the Northwest Province will not resolutely oppose it, but will depend on the conditions offered by the other party.

"Assistant Feng, you are in the capital, you don't know the difficulties in our western region, and the difficulty of attracting foreign investment is more than a hundred times more difficult than that of the brother provinces and cities in the east. The significance of Sanli Company's willingness to make a joint venture with Qinzhong is definitely not only a problem of Qinzhong for our Northwest Province, but also to set a model for our Northwest Province to attract investment, so that more foreign businessmen will be willing to invest in us in the future. Let's put it this way, we call it buying horse bones with a thousand gold, and the intentions are very good. ”

During the negotiations, Shi Fulin, deputy director of the Northwest Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, said in a heartfelt manner.

"However, Director Shi, Qin Chong is not a horse bone, it is the backbone enterprise of our country's equipment industry, and such an enterprise cannot be controlled by foreign capital casually. Feng Xiaochen reminded.

Shi Fulin said: "Yes, yes, we also know the importance of Qin Chong. Alas, it would be nice if Sanli had taken a fancy to other enterprises, wouldn't there not have been so much trouble? We have also recommended several other enterprises in the province to Sanli, which are also engaged in metallurgical equipment, but people don't look down on them. ”

"So you sold Qin Chong?" Wang Jiji choked angrily. Previously, without Feng Xiaochen accompanied, he took two subordinates to negotiate with Shi Fulin every time, and he had touched nails here, and he had already held back his anger. Now seeing Shi Fulin going around in circles like this again, he can't help but ridicule it.

Shi Fulin was not annoyed, just smiled slightly, and said, "What did Director Wang say, why did we sell Qin Chong? Actually, the joint venture between Qin Chong and Sanli is also very beneficial to Qin Chong. The two of them may not know that Qin Chong's current business situation is very unoptimistic, and it is expected that there may be serious losses next year. Isn't there a saying now, isn't it called a beautiful girl to marry first, our idea is to take advantage of Qin Chong's still a beautiful girl, and quickly marry her, so that she can't marry in the future. ”

"However, Director Shi didn't think that Qin Chong might be better off in the future than he is now?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Shi Fulin laughed dryly and said: "Of course, there is such a possibility, but the government's decision-making should not only talk about the possibility, but also talk about the reality." ”

"I see. Feng Xiaochen said, "We understand the idea of the Northwest Province, everyone is in order to make Qin Chong develop better, and the starting point is the same." In this way, since we are marrying a daughter, we always have to talk to each other about the conditions, if it is in ancient times, I am afraid we have to determine whether to marry a wife in the past, or marry a concubine. Our Qin Zhong is such a beautiful girl, with golden branches and jade leaves, she can't go to be a concubine for others, right?"

"Haha, Assistant Feng is really humorous, this analogy is really appropriate. Shi Fulin praised.

Feng Xiaochen waved his hand to show his modesty, and then continued: "In this way, we are also assigned by the State Economic and Trade Commission to participate in the negotiations with Sanli Company, and how to make the final decision must be made by the Northwest Provincial Government and the State Economic and Trade Commission. What we can do is to listen to the opinions of Sanli and then help Qin Zhong strive for some better joint venture conditions, which should not conflict with Director Shi's side, right?"

We very much welcome Assistant Feng and Director Wang to help us. Shi Fulin said insincerely, in fact, what difference does it make if he welcomes it or not, it is impossible for Northwest Province to bypass the State Economic and Trade Commission and directly sign a contract with Sanli, so Feng Xiaochen's opinions cannot be ignored.

After coming out of the Northwest Provincial Office in Beijing, Feng Xiaochen called Cui Yongfeng and asked him to have dinner in a small restaurant, claiming that it was a private reunion, so that he didn't have to ask Chen Kun to go with him. Cui Yongfeng had a heart, and sure enough, he came to the appointment alone, and when he arrived at the box booked by Feng Xiaochen, he found that there was not only Feng Xiaochen present, but also Wang Genji, which was obviously not a scene of reminiscence.

"The Northwest Provincial Economic and Trade Commission is unreliable, and Chen Kun is unreliable, so if we want to set up obstacles for Sanli, we can only rely on ourselves. ”

After a few simple dishes were served, Feng Xiaochen sent the waiter away, closed the door of the box, and then said his opinion straight to the point.

"That's right, the one surnamed Chen is especially unreliable, what do we think, we must not disclose it to him, believe it or not, he will turn around and go to tell Yuto Hase. Wang Gengen commented.

Cui Yongfeng said: "It's not that much, Director Chen still has some principles. However, Assistant Feng is also right, Director Chen's attitude on this issue is not so resolute, if the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission exerts a little pressure on him, he may fall to the side of the Economic and Trade Commission. ”

"Chief Engineer Cui, do you think there is anything we can do to stop this?" Feng Xiaochen looked at Cui Yongfeng and asked.

Cui Yongfeng said assumedly: "Of course, the State Economic and Trade Commission came forward to stop it. ”

Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said: "It is not suitable for the State Economic and Trade Commission to directly stop it, because this matter involves the issue of China's attitude towards opening up the market, and your Northwest Province has also repeatedly said that this is to support the resumption of customs negotiations. If the Economic and Trade Commission directly calls for this joint venture case, it will be easy to tell the truth. ”

"That's difficult, what can Assistant Feng do?" Cui Yongfeng scratched his scalp and said. He is really not a person who is good at conspiracies, and he hopes that the organization will come forward in everything. Now that Feng Xiaochen has obviously said that the State Economic and Trade Commission is not going to come forward, Cui Yongfeng is a little blind.

Feng Xiaochen said: "I thought about it, what Chen Kun said makes sense, the fundamental reason why Northwest Province is in a hurry to push Qin Chong out is that Qin Chong is not profitable, and the province is worried about carrying a burden." If Qin Zhong can make a profit, and it is a relatively large profit, the province will weigh the matter of the joint venture, especially if the Japanese are allowed to hold the shares, it will be a great loss for the province. In addition, once there is a profit, your voice in the province has also increased, and as long as your factory is unwilling to be controlled by Sanli, the province will not be able to do so. ”

"Indeed, the factory leaders are basically resisting Sanli Holdings. Cui Yongfeng said that when he said this, he was somewhat embarrassed, because he knew that most of the reasons why the factory leaders boycotted this matter were because they did not want to lose their current power and treatment, which was really not a noble motive.

Feng Xiaochen said: "In fact, Qin Chong's profitability can be seen, the current domestic steel tension, and this tense pattern will continue, so steel plants are being built everywhere, and the demand for metallurgical equipment is very large." Qinzhong's metallurgical equipment technology, especially in the manufacturing capacity of thin slab continuous casting and rolling equipment, is second to none in China, as long as it can take over two thin plate continuous rolling lines, Qinzhong's profitability can be guaranteed in at least two or three years. ”

Cui Yongfeng said: "I know this. In fact, we are also in contact with several steel mills in Mingzhou, Zhongyuan and other places, hoping to undertake their new production lines. However, Assistant Feng, you also know that the negotiation cycle of this kind of large-scale project is very long, and it is also affected by various policies of the province and the state, so it is difficult to achieve it overnight. And Sanli's side is pressing very tightly, and it doesn't leave us time to move at all. ”

Feng Xiaochen smiled: "The time is on our side, can we use them to leave it for us?"

"What do you mean?" Cui Yongfeng said in surprise.

Wang Genji said with a big grin: "I don't understand this, Xiao Feng means one word: drag." Thirty-six plans are procrastinated. ”

"Thirty-six strategies......" Cui Yongfeng grinned, and he didn't bother to complain for the ancients. However, Wang Genji did not understand this, Cui Yongfeng understood a little, and he asked, "Assistant Feng, how are you going to drag it out?"

Feng Xiaochen said lightly: "It's very simple, in every negotiation, we are active, but we just don't put the problem into practice." After a few hours, it will be said that everyone is tired, and we will talk about it another day. This another day, everyone can go about their own things, and when everyone's time is ready, it will take almost ten days and half a month, and then do it like this. After coming and going, half a year has passed. If you can sign hundreds of millions of orders within half a year, even if the Northwest Province still wants to sell you, the price will have to be reconsidered. ”

"This ...... I'm really not good at it. Cui Yongfeng shrunk.

Wang Genji pointed at Feng Xiaochen with a smile and said, "Lao Cui, you don't need to go into battle directly for this matter, with Xiao Feng here, I promise to mess up this matter, you can just beat the side drum next to you when the time comes." ”

Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "Lao Wang, don't just count on me, I'm still from Yubei now, and this time I'm here to help temporarily when I come back from vacation." You have to get started with this kind of mashing thing, and don't let people mess you up. ”

"Can't!" Wang Genji said confidently, "My old Wang has no other skills, can't he stir up the situation?" I won't tell you, if I hadn't been there to make peace a few times before, I wouldn't have been able to wait for you to come back." ”

"It seems that I am superfluous......" Feng Xiaochen said ashamedly.

"It's not, don't I can't go down too, you're here, just to block it for me. Wang Genji said, after that, he turned to Cui Yongfeng again and advised: "Old Cui, I know that you are sincere, you have to pay attention to confidentiality, don't leak your mouth to that Chen Kun." We have to hide it from everyone, and we have to make that Shi Fulin feel that we are working hard, or we will be helped. ”

"Well, I'm not that stupid. Cui Yongfeng said aggrievedly.
