Chapter 54: I'm Going Abroad
Feng Xiaochen felt that he was very lucky, and the leaders he met, such as Luo Xiangfei and Meng Fanze, took care of him, cultivated him, and created opportunities for him like his own sons and nephews. When doing all these things www.biquge.info these old people did not mix their own selfish interests, they simply regarded Feng Xiaochen as the successor of their own career, and were willing to support such young people.
Feng Xiaochen thanked Meng Fanze and left the Ministry of Coal. He first returned to Lin Chong's Beijing procurement station, and the stationmaster Wu Ximin told him that Xue Li had left with the child in his room for about a week, and the child's throat had been cured, and Xue Li and the child might have returned to their hometown.
Feng Xiaochen also expressed his gratitude to Wu Ximin for taking care of Xue Li's mother and son during this time. At the same time, he also gave Wu Ximin a package of Mingzhou's specialties, which was a gift from the factory office of Xinmin Factory when he left Xinmin Factory.
Regarding Feng Xiaochen's return to the Metallurgical Bureau, Wu Ximin already knew. He invited Feng Xiaochen to his office, took out a slip and handed it to him, and said, "Director Feng, you sign this." ”
Feng Xiaochen didn't know what to do, he took the slip and glanced at it, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. It was a payroll, which said that the salary was 40 yuan, as well as travel allowances, overtime pay, bonuses, etc., and the cumulative amount was 40 yuan, a total of 80 yuan. Feng Xiaochen hurriedly pushed the slip back to Wu Ximin and said, "Director Wu, this is not suitable, right? I get a salary from the Metallurgical Bureau, how can I get another one in Lin Chong?"
Wu Ximin said: "This is specially ordered by the director of the cold plant, the salary standard and bonus are set by the director of the cold plant, I am just an executor." Director Leng said, you did a very good job in Mingzhou, Minister Meng praised you, you are going on behalf of our Lin Chong, you did a good job, it is to win glory for our Lin Chong. ”
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I didn't do anything. Feng Xiaochen said politely, but he didn't shirk anymore, he signed the payroll, and then took over the 8 pieces of unity from Wu Ximin. He knew that Leng Shanguo's arrangement was completely for the sake of Minister Meng's face. Nuoda Lin Bei Heavy Machinery, the salary of one more person is nothing, not to mention that Feng Xiaochen is indeed going to help Lin Zhong work, if it is not for Feng Xiaochen to save the scene, Peng Haiyang is estimated to be squeezed by Xie Chengcheng and them. Feng Xiaochen is still a poor man, and the 80 yuan is a windfall for him.
It was Xing Bencai who drove Feng Xiaochen and his luggage back to the compound of the Metallurgical Bureau. Feng Xiaochen thanked Xing Bencai, sent him away, went back to his dormitory to put his luggage, and then went to Luo Xiangfei's office to report. Tian Wenjian saw Feng Xiaochen coming, exchanged a few words with him, and brought him into the office.
"Director Luo, I'm back. ”
Feng Xiaochen stood in front of Luo Xiangfei's desk and reported.
Luo Xiangfei was reviewing a document, he glanced up at Feng Xiaochen, nodded, did not speak, and continued to write, after writing for a while, he stopped his pen and checked if there were any errors, then put the document away, inserted the pen cap, raised his head again, and said with a smile:
"Come back, sit down. How about it, this trip to Mingzhou, hard work, right?"
"It was ok, good food. Feng Xiaochen found a stool to sit on, and then replied with a smile. Luo Xiangfei treated him like this, but he didn't seem to treat him as an outsider, which made him a lot easier. Some time ago, he was borrowed by Meng Fanze to work in Linbei Heavy Machinery, and he was always worried that Luo Xiangfei would have some pimples in his heart, but now it seems that Luo Xiangfei is not the kind of narrow-minded leader.
"Well, the complexion is much better, it seems that the food in Mingzhou is very nourishing. Luo Xiangfei looked at Feng Xiaochen and said with a smile, "Minister Meng has already told me about your affairs in Mingzhou, you did a good job, and you didn't embarrass our Metallurgical Bureau." Also, is there a copy of the total quality management plan you did in Xinmin Hydraulic Tool Factory? If so, I will also learn about it and hand it over to Xiao Tian when I go back. If applicable, we can consider promoting it in enterprises in the metallurgical bureau system. By the way, you will also participate in this event at that time, you are an expert. ”
"No problem, I'll bring a few copies back, and I'll hand them over to Secretary Tian in a while. Feng Xiaochen said, and then said modestly, "I don't dare to be an expert, I just put some of the knowledge I saw in books into practice." ”
Luo Xiangfei then asked a few more questions about the harvest at the grassroots level, affirmed Feng Xiaochen's working methods and work attitude in Xinmin Factory, and then went back to the topic and asked: "Xiao Feng, I want you back from Minister Meng this time, you already know the reason, right?"
"I heard that the Metallurgical Bureau has found several metallurgical technology consulting companies in the Federal Republic of Germany, and you want to personally lead a team to negotiate with them?" Feng Xiaochen asked, this is the news he heard from Meng Fanze.
Luo Xiangfei nodded and said: "Yes, we learned about the situation through the embassy, as you said, there are indeed many types of consulting companies in West Germany, which can provide various consulting, design and other services, including complete equipment procurement services." However, the embassy was not clear about our requirements, and they were very busy with their own work, so they could not communicate more deeply with these consulting companies, but asked us to send someone to negotiate directly. The Economic Commission has approved that I will lead a small delegation to West Germany, and I will specifically report your name. ”
"Thank you, Director Luo, for your attention. Feng Xiaochen said.
Luo Xiangfei said: "This is not care, but to put pressure on you." The delegation will have a full-time interpreter, and you will be the second interpreter, and the translator will be in charge of the professional German. Also, we don't have any experience in dealing with foreign consulting companies, so you should try to play as much role as possible. ”
"I don't have any experience. Feng Xiaochen said. In fact, he has rich experience in this area, and later China is the world's largest industrial equipment market as the world's factory, and consulting agencies from various countries have gathered in China to carry out various activities, and Feng Xiaochen has dealt with these consulting agencies countless times. Of course, China's national strength in later generations is not the same as that in the early 80s, and the attitude of foreign consulting companies will inevitably be different, which Feng Xiaochen is psychologically prepared for.
However, Feng Xiaochen can only keep a low profile in this matter, if he tells Luo Xiangfei that he is very familiar with this industry, Luo Xiangfei should regard him as a monster.
Luo Xiangfei said: "When I was in Nanjiang Province, you talked to me about foreign consulting agencies, and I feel that you still have some understanding of them. Of course, reading on paper is shallow, and without going to the scene to contact them, there is no real understanding. This time, you follow me for a walk, see more, ask more, think more, and be a good adviser to me at a critical time, understand?"
"Understood. Feng Xiaochen replied loudly.
Luo Xiangfei said again: "Okay, for the details of the West German side, you go back to Xiaotian to ask for a copy of the materials and read it carefully." Director Liu will make arrangements for passports and visas, and you can just do what she asks. Also, before going abroad, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will do a training, mainly about the requirements for discipline of personnel going abroad. You, in particular, should study it carefully, and you must not take the unobstructed problem at home abroad to the outside world, understand?"
"Understand, diplomacy is no small matter. Feng Xiaochen casually came up with a slogan, which was a very popular saying back then. However, he said this in his mouth, but he did not think so in his heart. At that time, China had just opened its doors, and it did not understand the situation abroad, and many times it was too cautious, but instead tied its hands and feet in cooperation.
In later generations, China's economic strength became stronger, and there was more experience in international cooperation, and it was common for foreign businessmen to quarrel with foreign businessmen during negotiations. According to legend, when a certain unit introduced equipment, the leader in charge of the negotiations directly gave the foreign businessman an ultimatum: "You either agree to our conditions, or you can leave now, but after you leave, you will not have another chance!" As a result, the foreign businessman obediently surrendered without saying a word.
Such a thing was completely unimaginable for the Chinese in the early 80s. Feng Xiaochen was not in a hurry to popularize science to Luo Xiangfei, so it was better to change it randomly when the time came.
"Yes, diplomacy is no small matter. Luo Xiangfei didn't know Feng Xiaochen's mental activities, but when Feng Xiaochen's words were sincere, he then instructed: "During this time, you should review the German you learned from Feng Lao, especially the German for metallurgy and mechanical majors, which is more important." Have you brought a German-Chinese dictionary with you? If not, you can ask the reference room to buy a copy right away and use it for you. On this trip, you have to bring the dictionary with you, so that you can use it when you are cramming. ”
"Understood. Feng Xiaochen obediently agreed.
After talking, Luo Xiangfei waved his hand and signaled that Feng Xiaochen could leave. Feng Xiaochen kept two more copies of the specialties he brought from Mingzhou, one large one for Luo Xiangfei and one small one for Tian Wenjian. Luo Xiangfei smiled without saying anything, at that time, everyone had few opportunities to travel, and when they went on a business trip, they had to bring some local products to colleagues and leaders when they came back, which was a normal interpersonal exchange. If Feng Xiaochen didn't do this, he would be ignorant.
Tian Wenjian accepted Feng Xiaochen's gift, smiled with a smile on his face, and affectionately climbed Feng Xiaochen's shoulder to send him out of Luo Xiangfei's office, standing outside the door and talking for a while. Feng Xiaochen's performance in Mingzhou, he also heard a sentence or two from Luo Xiangfei, and his attitude towards this young competitor was a little more complicated, including admiration and jealousy, which was really difficult to distinguish.
