"My identity needs to be hidden from others, but I don't need to hide it from you. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhang Heping waved his hand and said lightly.

"When Peace came to see you today, he definitely didn't intend to hide anything from you. He's a delicate person, and if he doesn't trust you, he won't talk nonsense. Wang Genji also echoed on the side.

Feng Xiaochen was also relieved. In his previous life, he had dealt with people in the security services more than once or twice, and he knew that the personnel of the security services were also classified at different levels of secrecy. Some people's identities are so hidden that few people in the system know about them, while others have semi-public identities in order to work with various departments. Zhang Heping must belong to the latter situation. The Heavy Armament Office needs to know some things about Avarey, and the security department must have the most information, and this information needs to be introduced by Zhang Heping to the people of the Heavy Armament Office.

Of course, Zhang Heping did not casually reveal his identity to outsiders, before that, his institution had already known about Feng Xiaochen, knew that Feng Xiaochen's background was innocent, and he was currently holding an important job, and he belonged to the cadres trained by the Economic Commission. For such people, of course, the security services must establish contacts, and there are many opportunities for cooperation between the two sides in the future.

Thinking about this, Feng Xiaochen was no longer hypocritical, he smiled and said to Zhang Heping: "Brother Zhang, in fact, as early as the time when the camp was repaired, I felt that you were not an ordinary person. The experts and skilled workers you helped find on the train, you only need to ask, and you can name them one by one, and this skill is not something that ordinary people can have. ”

Zhang Heping also laughed and said, "It's exposed, it's exposed, I knew that Xiao Feng was so keen, I should have hidden it." By the way, speaking of the battalion repair, I still remember, there was a very young and beautiful female welder at that time, who seemed to stay with you later on the clamp car to keep vigil, how about it, you didn't develop?"

"This ......," Feng Xiaochen stood up.

Wang Genji reacted immediately, and said with a smile: "What, peace, do you also know that female welder surnamed Du? I revealed, a few days ago, I met Xiao Feng walking with her, and these two people have now lived together." ”

"Lao Wang, don't make people ambiguous when you speak, okay? It's that girl passing by the capital, I happen to have a vacant room there, I'll help her save some accommodation fees, it's like ...... That's something. Feng Xiaochen was also a little embarrassed. Although he has already confessed to Du Xiaodi, the relationship between the people is just whether it is good or not, and it is not as unbearable as Wang Genji said. The current society is not so open, if it is really spread that he lives with Du Xiaodi, it will be a big scandal.

"Haha, it looks like I'm going to have to arrange a few scouts to scout and reconnoitre, this is very important information. Zhang Heping also made a joke, everyone is a man, and it doesn't hurt to make this kind of joke.

There was a little trouble, but the relationship between the three of them became a little more harmonious, and the sense of crampedness that Feng Xiaochen brought when he heard Zhang Heping's identity disappeared. He put away some smiles and said, "Let's get down to business, Brother Zhang, what we need to know, Lao Wang has introduced it to you, right?" Regarding Avaré and Gaijan, what information do you have over there, can you communicate with us?"

Zhang Heping nodded and said, "We have been collecting information on Avalei's side. A few days ago, the foundation trustee came to us and the organization arranged for me to do this work. I sorted out the internal information and asked people to do some research, but I found something that might be of interest to you. ”

"Great, tell me about it. Feng Xiaochen said.

Zhang Heping took out a small notebook and opened it to a page, on which there were some inexplicable words written like ghostly characters, as well as phonetic symbols and the like, presumably some recording methods within the security department, even if outsiders got their hands, they couldn't see a clue. He looked at the entries in the notebook and began to introduce the situation on Avalei's side to Feng Xiaochen and Wang Genji.

As Luo Yutong once mentioned, Avalé is a country with a mixed economy. The government has the main economic lifeline, owns a considerable number of state-owned enterprises, and has drawn up its own five-year plans, imitating the Soviet Union, China and other countries, as if it were socialism. At the same time, the government does not prohibit the development of the private economy, but also introduces a large amount of foreign capital and allows foreign capital to participate in some important sectors.

Because the government has a lot of power in the economy, corruption is unavoidable. It is an open secret that officials receive favors in various government tenders, and the state turns a blind eye to this, and some high-ranking officials have even raised the view that corruption is the lubricant of economic development in an informal setting.

The introduction of a 1,700 mm hot rolling mill at the Batin Provincial Iron and Steel Plant is an important investment project for Avaret. In the past, foreign contractors had to pay kickbacks to officials in order to win the project. According to what Zhang Heping's colleagues have learned, several Japanese manufacturers have been doing this work for a long time, and their methods are not new, such as inviting officials from the Ministry of Industry of Avaré and the Batin Iron and Steel Works to travel to Japan, arranging opportunities for their children to study abroad, and giving them all kinds of high-end gifts.

From the original intention of the officials of the Ministry of Industry of Avare, this production line was intended to be imported from Japan, firstly, because Japan's technical strength is stronger, and everyone is already superstitious about Japanese products, and secondly, of course, because Japanese manufacturers promise to give more benefits after the fact, it is not easy to inquire about the specific content. Who would have thought that when the Ministry of Industry submitted this plan to the Cabinet, it was vetoed, and the Cabinet proposed that if China could provide such equipment, then it would be better to import it from China.

"Why is that?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

"There are two reasons for this, one bright and one dark. Zhang Heping said, "The apparent reason is that China's equipment quotation is lower, and at the same time, Avaray is allowed to use export goods to deduct a part of the foreign exchange, which is very important for Avare, who is short of foreign exchange." However, the price of the products of Japanese manufacturers is too high, and they demand that all of them be paid in yen, which is unaffordable with Avare's current economic situation. ”

"We knew that from the beginning. Feng Xiaochen said, "Then what is the secret reason?"

Zhang Heping said: "It is said that it is secret, but it is actually an open secret. If Alvaré seeks to play his part in African affairs, he needs the support of the international community. As one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, China has a certain say in this regard. Alvaré hopes to cooperate in economic and trade and strengthen ties with China. Although Japan is an economic power, its political position is far inferior to that of China, which is why Avaray gave up on cooperation with Japan. ”

"Understood. Feng Xiaochen nodded.

International trade has never been a simple economic issue, but is inextricably linked to international politics. The purpose of a big country giving some benefits to a small country is to encircle these small countries as their own followers; giving some benefits to a big country is equivalent to a letter of nomination or protection money to the boss. Conversely, the political relationship between two countries may also be affected by economic objectives, for example, when there is a political conflict between two countries with particularly close economic and trade ties, both sides will be more restrained, so as not to affect their economic stability due to the rupture of political relations.

This is the case with the introduction of this hot rolling line, and it wants to improve relations with China and win China's support in some international affairs, which inevitably means something economically. Of course, if China's technology is completely unusable, Alvaré will not waste hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, and political factors only play a role in adding weight to this project, not the only decisive factor.

Because of this, although Gejan clamored for a different supplier all day long, he only paid lip service to it, but did not actually show it. Although he was greedy for money, he did not dare to completely disobey the will of the cabinet. Zhang Heping said.

Wang Genji also understood, and he said: "Since this is the case, then what do we have to say to this surnamed Gai? Let's just go directly to Avaleigh's cabinet." Let the cabinet make a statement, and Gai Zhan still dares to say a word?"

Zhang Heping smiled and said nothing, while Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "Lao Wang, things are not so simple. Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult. Even if the cabinet nods, Gai Zhan can't refuse, and in the process of specific project cooperation in the future, people will still have a lot of opportunities to make things difficult for us. It is impossible for us to guarantee that there will be no flaws in each link, and people are intent on finding faults, and we are also very troublesome. ”

"Well, that's just as well. Wang Jiji quickly changed his words. In fact, what he said just now is to be angry, with his experience, of course, he also knows that bypassing the specific person in charge to promote a matter will leave trouble. You can't go to the cabinet to settle any contradictions in the future, right? It doesn't matter once or twice, because if there are too many times, people will think that China's technology is not good, and you can only rely on finding connections to solve problems all the time, and this will not be worth the loss for China.

"Gai Zhan, what is the situation, do you understand?" Feng Xiaochen turned his head to Zhang Heping and further inquired.

"We didn't know much about this person in the past. However, this time you came to our door, and we still arranged for someone to find out, and we also got some information. Zhang Heping said with a smile.
