In many hutongs in the capital, it is common to see a bronze or wooden plaque hanging at the door of a small inconspicuous courtyard, with names such as "association", "society", and "federation" written on it. Most of these organizations sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, or even sell fly meat on the head of a sheep, and their only ability is to bare-love white wolves and deceive the wronged bosses from several places in order to maintain their operations. But if you think that all these institutions are liars, you are wrong, and many important institutions with great responsibilities and abilities are hidden among these fakes, and there is some wisdom hidden in the court.

The prosaic name of the "China-Africa Industrial and Technical Cooperation Association" is currently in such a state. Feng Xiaochen rented a small courtyard in the name of Chenyu Company, and then hung up the association's sign. The residents who live next to it walk past the sign every day and have no interest in it. No one knows that in the closed courtyard gate, dozens of officials from major domestic equipment enterprises are in full swing discussing the matter of going to Africa to open up, and the smallest of these enterprises also has billions of yuan in assets, which is enough to support half of the national economy in a small country.

According to the plan, in the next five years, 24 new nitrogen fertilizer plants will be built throughout Africa, including 4 with a scale of 300,000 tons, 10 with a scale of 100,000 tons, and 10 with a scale of 50,000 tons. These projects are supported by low-interest loans from the National Specialized Bank, and the equipment is your business. ”

Feng Xiaochen sat at the head of the main room that was turned into a conference room, holding a document in his hand, introducing the situation to all the participants, and when it came to nitrogen fertilizer equipment, he made a gesture to several of them, meaning to ask them to express their opinions.

"The 300,000-ton ammonia plant is a small thing for us. Our only hope is that the site is not too remote, otherwise it will be a hassle for us to transport the equipment in. Yu Junjie, director of Xinyang No. 2 Chemical Machinery Factory, responded easily.

"No problem, it's not the first time we've been working on projects in Africa, and Mr. Feng has given us these projects, although rest assured. This is Wang Yanru, director of the North Chemical Machinery Factory, speaking.

"Let's follow up and give you a hand, and by the way, learn some experience from you. Liang Chen, general manager of Quanfu Machinery Company, said politely. In fact, in terms of age, Liang Chen is older than Yu Junjie and Wang Yanru, the latter two are both young Zhuang in their early 40s, and Liang Chen is already more than 50. However, Liang Chen inherited Ruan Phucken's low-key style, always keeping in mind that Quanfu Company is only a private enterprise, and it still has to call itself a little brother in front of large enterprises.

"Mr. Liang, don't rub us off, when it comes to the experience of doing overseas projects, your Quanfu Company is the most powerful, who doesn't know that you did engineering in Mexico as early as 20 years ago, and it seems that you were OEM for Ikegu Productions at that time, right?" Yu Junjie said with a smile. Today's Quanfu Company is also a well-known chemical equipment giant in China, how dare Yu Junjie underestimate it. He has also dealt with Liang Chen on many occasions, and the relationship is very good.

Wang Yanru also said: "Yes, at the beginning, we were hindered by the status of state-owned enterprises, it was not convenient to take this kind of business, but your Quanfu company opened up the atmosphere, and also learned a lot of international engineering experience from Japanese companies." This time to Africa, our factory also plans to hire some experienced project managers from your company to help. ”

"Hehe, help or something, no need to say anything. Director Yu and Director Wang have any needs, even if they say that if they go abroad, we will all be a family. Liang Chen said boldly.

Feng Xiaochen took Liang Chen's words and said, "Mr. Liang is right, let's go abroad, but we are all a family." We don't want to distinguish between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, and working together is the right way. ”

"Yes, yes, all together. The leaders of other companies nodded their heads in approval.

"In terms of electric power, in the next five years, Africa will plan to build 16 new thermal power stations of 1.2 million kilowatts, 4 hydropower stations with an installed capacity of not less than 1 million kilowatts, as well as related power transmission and transformation equipment, Longshan Electric Power Factory, Beicheng Electric Machinery Factory, Baiwo Transformer Factory, Qinfeng Electric Machinery Company, you have to undertake the manufacturing tasks of these equipment. Feng Xiaochen continued to assign tasks.

"No problem!" This is the statement of the leaders of Longdian and other enterprises.

"In terms of metallurgical equipment, four steel plants with an annual output of 2 million tons of pig iron and 1.5 million tons of steel are the tasks of Qinzhong and Puzhong, and Linbei Heavy Machinery and Yubei Heavy Machinery also have to share part of the manufacturing ...... of equipment."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Feng!"

"In terms of cement equipment, in the next ten years, the scale of infrastructure construction in Africa is extremely large, and the demand for cement may reach an astronomical figure, and we preliminarily estimate that at least 30 large cement plants will be built in Africa in the next five years......"

"We've got it!"

Feng Xiaochen read the product requirements one by one, and the leaders of the named companies all agreed in unison, and at the same time there were smiles on their faces.

In the past two years, in order to cope with the impact of the international financial crisis, the country has launched an unprecedented scale of infrastructure construction, which has put forward a large number of demands for industrial equipment and construction equipment. At that time, the business of each enterprise was almost inadequate, and the production capacity was also expanding again and again. However, with the increasing saturation of the domestic market, the company's production capacity began to appear excessive, and everyone is worried that there is nowhere to digest these production capacity.

Listening to Feng Xiaochen's meaning, these equipment needs are only the first step, and there will be more needs in the future. This means that all equipment companies will have sufficient business to do in the next ten or even twenty years. After doing business in Africa, there are Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Latin America and other regions, how huge the market should be. Even if the needs of these countries are completed, it is time for domestic equipment to be upgraded, which is called infinite scarcity for children and grandchildren, right?

"I need to emphasize to you that although we are manufacturing equipment for African countries, first, the quality of the product must not be slackened in the slightest, and it must be in accordance with the standards of manufacturing equipment for domestic enterprises, and the brand of Chinese equipment cannot be smashed. Feng Xiaochen raised a finger and said to everyone.

"Absolutely not!" Yu Junjie hurriedly replied, "Mr. Feng, don't worry, we definitely have high standards and strict requirements, and there will be no mistakes." ”

"Second ......" Feng Xiaochen raised another finger and said: "We must not relax scientific and technological innovation, and we must ensure that the proportion of corporate profits used for technology research and development cannot decline." We must remember that engaging in industrial technology is like sailing against the current, and if we do not advance, we will retreat. How our European and American counterparts have been surpassed by us in the past must be taken as a warning and we must not repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"Haha, before our old factory director retired, he held my ear and asked me to remember this. He said that this is Mr. Feng's explanation, and we must not forget it at any time. Wang Yanru said exaggeratedly. When he took over as the director of the Beihua Machinery Factory, Feng Xiaochen had already left the equipment company, but the former director of the Beihua Machinery still repeatedly explained to Wang Yanru, saying that he should keep in mind the instructions of Mr. Feng in the past and not relax scientific and technological research and development.

Wang Yanru did not understand the painstaking efforts of the old factory director until now, Feng Xiaochen is now nominally just the president of an association, but he has hundreds of billions of funds in his hands, and if Beihua Machinery wants to achieve rapid development, it is inseparable from the market opportunities provided by Feng Xiaochen. What Feng Xiaochen values most is the company's R&D capabilities, how dare Wang Yanru drop the chain in this regard. In fact, not only Wang Yanru, but the entire equipment industry knows that Mr. Feng's future is unlimited, and Mr. Feng's strategic vision cannot be doubted. Listening to Mr. Feng's words, the company has meat to eat, which violates Mr. Feng's requirements, so maybe it will be unlucky when.

"Thirdly, when we go to Africa, we are not colonizers, nor saviors, but contractors, Party B. Therefore, it is necessary to have customer awareness, respect the local owners, and satisfy customers with the best service. Let's not forget that Western countries are also salivating for the African market, and if we don't do it well, we may marry others, and the market that we have finally opened up will end up cheapening Western companies. Feng Xiaochen said solemnly.

Everyone's expressions also became serious, nodding their heads one by one, and seriously recording Feng Xiaochen's request in their notebooks. Then, Feng Xiaochen introduced the current situation of China-Africa cooperation and the country's policy orientation for China-Africa cooperation, and asked all enterprises to pay close attention to cultivating talents for Africa, so as not to miss the good opportunity for Africa's development.

"Next month, the opening ceremony of the Cyril to Gabé railway in Africa, which is being built by our country, will be attended by the heads of more than 30 African countries and ministerial-level officials in the fields of economy and industry. Feng Xiaochen finally commanded.

"No problem, I'll lead the team myself when the time comes. Wang Yanru slapped his chest loudly.

"I will let our executive deputy director lead the team, and the future business for Africa will be handled by him. Yu Junjie said.

"The cost of holding the ceremony is paid by our Quanfu company, and we only need a naming right. Liang Chen's true colors as a businessman were revealed, causing everyone to cast white eyes and red eyes.

The companies showed their active participation, and then left with information and joy. The staff of the association came forward to clean up the venue, and Feng Xiaochen also stood up and closed the documents at hand. Looking at the title on the cover of the document, Feng Xiaochen couldn't help but smile slightly.

The headline reads:

The first five-year plan for the industrialization of Africa.
