Chapter 305: Doing as the Locals Like

Since there is no more information to refer to, this is the end of the discussion on this issue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Feng Xiaochen stayed with Xu Wenliang and discussed other issues in the negotiations, and after having lunch together, he left the metallurgical guest house with Wang Genji and returned to the rearmament office.

When he went out, Wang Genji looked at no one on the left and right, and asked Feng Xiaochen in a low voice, "Xiao Feng, what do you mean by the question you asked this morning?"

"Which question?" Feng Xiaochen couldn't react for a while.

"You ask Gajan if he's greedy for money. ”

"Isn't that a clear question? I suspect that Gajan is trying to do us something good. Feng Xiaochen replied. In fact, everyone has already seen this, but it is not appropriate to discuss it openly. Wang Genji chose to talk to Feng Xiaochen about this topic in private, and Feng Xiaochen certainly wouldn't hide anything.

In international trade, this kind of receiving benefits is all too common, and our "friendly neighbors" are the most familiar with it. European and American countries have done a more gentlemanly job in this regard, and they have established various systems, such as the "Ethics Committee", the "Anti-Unfair Competition Law", and so on, to prevent this kind of commercial bribery. However, skilled businessmen were still able to find the flaws, or the flaws deliberately left to them by the system builders, in order to realize the transfer of benefits.

In the early 80s, when China had just opened its door, most officials did not understand these tricks in international trade, and even some people still had some beautiful imagination, thinking that foreign countries would definitely not pay attention to "going through the back door" as at home, and foreigners must be very honest, very rule-oriented, and very much so and something. Officials such as Tian Wenjian and Wang Genji broadened their horizons a little, but they were only limited to knowing the existence of this phenomenon, and did not have much intuitive understanding.

Feng Xiaochen is different, he comes from later generations, when the Chinese have done business all over the world, and they are well aware of these unspoken rules in the world. Chinese in the 21st century no longer have the strong inferiority complex they had before, and they will not feel that foreigners are sacred. The popular saying on the Internet is: There is nothing that can't be solved by one skewer, if there is, then two skewers.

When he first heard that the Avaray project was affected, Feng Xiaochen really didn't think about commercial bribery. It wasn't until Luo Yutong mentioned that there was a difference of opinion between Gai Zhan and Gandar that he suddenly thought of this, and at the same time deeply regretted that he had integrated into this era for too long, and a lot of knowledge in later generations had been somewhat forgotten.

In many developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, corruption is very serious. It is not uncommon for government officials to reap benefits from international cooperation, but it is strange to encounter a few officials who do not want to reap the benefits. When Japanese manufacturers came to China to carry out commercial activities, they also repeatedly brought this practice in, bribing Chinese officials at all levels with various benefits in order to achieve their own ulterior purposes, and Wang Genji had long heard of this.

Listening to Feng Xiaochen confess his thoughts, Wang Genji said: "If this is the case, then, in your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

"Of course, it's the locals. Feng Xiaochen said, after speaking, he felt that this idiom was not very accurate, so he explained with a smile: "What I said is that since we want to do business with Avare, we also need to take into account Avare's national conditions. Their officials cannot be held to the standard of our morality, and when it is time to show it, they have to show it. ”

"You're saying we should give them kickbacks?" asked Wang Genji with some hesitation.

Feng Xiaochen nodded affirmatively and said, "That's natural, otherwise our business won't be done." ”

"But is it appropriate for us to do this?"

Feng Xiaochen smiled: "There is nothing inappropriate. If we don't do it, someone will do it. I dare to pack a ticket, the one who dismantled our Taiwan must be a Japanese company, maybe it is Sanli Steel. They don't want us to rob them of their traditional market, and will certainly make all sorts of conspiracies. And as far as I know, the Japanese are the best at this kind of fame. ”

"I've heard people talk about this. Wang Genji said, and then, he frowned again, and said: "But, Xiao Feng, we are a socialist country, how can we send kickbacks to foreign businessmen? Who will pay for this money? In what name? Anyway, I don't dare to send it, or if there is more than one financial discipline, I will have to make it unclear." ”

Feng Xiaochen said: "You don't have to worry about this, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, there is always a way." Now we have to find out first whether Gayjan wants benefits and what the climate of the AvarΓ© government is. If you want to give a rebate, what kind of standard is it roughly. Without understanding these issues, we will not be able to move forward. ”

"I have something to do with this. Wang Genji said, "I'll go back to my old man and ask him to help contact our embassy in AvalΓ© to find out about the situation." ”

"That's fine. Feng Xiaochen said, "Knowing ourselves and knowing the other, and grasping the other party's situation, we will take the initiative." ”

After saying this, Wang Genji grinned again and said, "Xiao Feng, did Director Luo ask you to come here today, or did you ask to come over yourself?"

"Of course, Director Luo asked me to come. Feng Xiaochen said, "If there is no arrangement from the leadership, how can I come here without permission? Why, Lao Wang, do you think I shouldn't come?"

Wang Genji waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "No, no, you misunderstood, I think you should come, you really should come." ”

"What do you mean at first glance?" Feng Xiaochen was a little puzzled.

Wang Genji said: "You just saw Director Luo's daughter, don't you have any feelings?"

"What do you think?"

"You really don't know?" Wang Genji looked surprised and said, "Who doesn't know that Director Luo has defaulted to you as his future son-in-law, and he arranged for you to come over today, isn't it just to create an opportunity for you to meet his daughter?"

"What's the matter!" Feng Xiaochen couldn't cry or laugh, "Lao Wang, your imagination is too rich. Director Luo is such a precious daughter, and she is a top student of Yenching University, how can she never be allowed to marry a junior high school student like me?"

"How is it impossible?" Wang Genji said seriously, "It's true that you are a junior high school student, but you are not convinced by your ability, which one of you is not convinced?" You know several foreign languages, understand machinery and metallurgy, and have strong work ability, which one dares to compare with you if we have so many college students in the heavy equipment?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "That's impossible, Lao Wang, don't mess around with the mandarin duck score, and turn around and make me not good in front of Director Luo." Let me tell you, it is absolutely impossible for me and this Luo Yutong to be, she doesn't look down on me, what ,...... I don't like her either. ”

"Are you still energetic? Luo Yutong wants to look good, have an education and a good family background, why don't you look down on her?" Wang Genji was a little anxious, as if Luo Yutong was his sister, and was deeply annoyed by Feng Xiaochen's ignorance.

Feng Xiaochen didn't know what to say. He actually knew that Luo Xiangfei had a daughter, but because he had never met, he just regarded the other party as a passerby, and never thought that this girl would have anything to do with him. This time, Luo Xiangfei sent him over to deal with the matter of the Avaray project, half of the reason was that Qin Chong's people made a request to Luo Xiangfei, hoping that he would come out to break the situation, and it had nothing to do with Luo Yutong.

However, the cadres of the organs are too serious in their work, so they like to pull a little peachy news to relieve their nerves. Luo Xiangfei has an outstanding daughter, and there is such an outstanding young man as Feng Xiaochen in the Heavy Equipment Office, plus Luo Xiangfei favors Feng Xiaochen, so the rumors that Luo Xiangfei wants to take Feng Xiaochen as his son-in-law naturally spread around. If you insist on investigating the source, it is estimated that it is Liu Yanping, the eldest sister has always been keen on being a matchmaker.

"Lao Wang, this matter is stopped here. I came from an ordinary working family, and I am a junior high school student, I really don't dare to climb this kind of pride, and I am also a child of a high-ranking cadre. I think it's better for me to find an ordinary worker, for example...... Huh?"

Feng Xiaochen was about to casually find an example of a middle-aged aunt on the street, but as far as his eyes could see, he found a familiar figure, which was clearly Du Xiaodi. I saw her carrying a vegetable basket with one hand, which contained some bottles and cans, as if they were oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and the other hand was holding a noodle pocket on her shoulder, which looked heavy.

"Xiaodi, what are you doing here!" Feng Xiaochen shook off Wang Jiji, strode forward, and reached out to pick up the pocket on Du Xiaodi's shoulder.

"Xiaochen, is it so coincidental?" Du Xiaodi also looked a little surprised, she waved her hand, signaling that she didn't need Feng Xiaochen's help, and said, "There are not many steps, I'll come by myself, so I don't have to get your clothes dirty again." ”

"I'll carry the basket for you. Feng Xiaochen stretched out his hand to take the basket in Du Xiaodi's hand, and asked in surprise: "What are you buying so many things for, who are you buying it for?"

"Of course it was for the family. Du Xiaodi blurted out, and after speaking, he felt a little inappropriate, and quickly corrected with a red face: "I bought it for you! You don't have anything there, how do you look like you're living." You can't go out to eat every day, you have to learn to cook for yourself. ”

"It's rare for me to stay in the capital for a few days a year, and I don't know if I'm going to have to go on a business trip in a few days, why do I buy so many things?" Feng Xiaochen complained. In fact, when he was first assigned to the courtyard, Feng Xiaochen thought about cooking by himself, and bought some rice, flour, oil, salt and other things, but later felt that it was too troublesome, so he gave up. Unexpectedly, Du Xiaodi couldn't see it, so he actually went beyond the box to help him purchase another batch back.

At this time, Wang Genji also came over, he glanced at Du Xiaodi suspiciously several times, then turned his head to look at Feng Xiaochen, with a sudden look on his face, and said: "No wonder, Xiao Feng, it turns out that you already have a partner!"
