"You mean, the money Feng Xiaochen used to establish Chenyu Company back then was obtained by selling state technical secrets?"

In a private club in the capital, Han Nanbin stared at a gray-haired half-grown old man in front of him and asked in disbelief.

This half-grown old man was introduced to Han Nanbin by Jiang Zhong, and it is said that he is an old classmate of an elder in Jiang Zhong's family, and he doesn't know how Jiang Zhong found him. This person's name is Tian Wenjian, a deputy inspector of a certain ministry and commission, who is already 60 years old this year and will retire in a few years.

The reason why Jiang Zhong introduced him to Han Nanbin was that Tian Wenjian was once a colleague of Feng Xiaochen. That was more than 20 years ago, when Tian Wenjian was the secretary of Luo Xiangfei, deputy director of the Metallurgical Bureau of the Economic Commission, and Feng Xiaochen was a young talent discovered by Luo Xiangfei from Nanjiang Province, and was seconded by Luo Xiangfei to the Metallurgical Bureau as a temporary worker.

Before Feng Xiaochen appeared, Tian Wenjian always thought that he was Luo Xiangfei's successor, and he was completely sure that Luo Xiangfei would let him serve as the head of a powerful office at some point, and then he could show his skills in this position, and with the help of Luo Xiangfei's shadow, he would thrive.

But since Luo Xiangfei seconded Feng Xiaochen over, Feng Xiaochen's amazing performances dwarfed Tian Wenjian. Luo Xiangfei also repeatedly praised Feng Xiaochen in front of Tian Wenjian, and even asked Tian Wenjian, who was more than ten years older than Feng Xiaochen, to learn more from Feng Xiaochen, such as strengthening a little technical skills, being more open-minded, being more responsible, and so on.

After the abolition of the Metallurgical Bureau, Luo Xiangfei was ordered to set up a heavy equipment office, and he also asked Tian Wenjian for his opinions, asking Tian Wenjian whether he was willing to stay in the heavy equipment office or go to the Ministry of Metallurgy. If there is no variable like Feng Xiaochen, Tian Wenjian is willing to stay in the Heavy Equipment Office, and with his qualifications, he can already be in charge alone. But he saw that Luo Xiangfei was obviously more favored by Feng Xiaochen, so he proposed that he still wanted to break outside, so he was arranged to be a deputy director of the Metallurgical Department.

The conscience of heaven and earth, when Luo Xiangfei arranged Tian Wenjian to go to the Ministry of Metallurgy, he specially greeted the old leaders in the Ministry of Metallurgy and asked them to give Tian Wenjian some care. After Tian Wenjian went to the Ministry of Metallurgy, he was indeed full of ambition and wanted to do a big job. But Luo Xiangfei's evaluation of Tian Wenjian is not groundless, Tian Wenjian is indeed lacking in professional skills, not open-minded enough, not bold enough, and lacking responsibility, so he did not make ideal achievements in his position.

Over the years, Tian Wenjian has been able to get the position of deputy inspector through his qualifications, which is a kind of comfort provided by the ministry to cadres who are about to retire. On the other hand, Feng Xiaochen has offended a lot of people in the past ten years, and there is some criticism in the system, but he became the general manager of the equipment company at a young age, which is higher than Tian Wenjian's current level, and it is said that there is still room for further improvement.

If you don't compare with Feng Xiaochen, Tian Wenjian is actually quite successful. The deputy inspector is at the level of the deputy department, and there are not many people who can have this level at the age of 60, so he can talk about it. But when he thought of Feng Xiaochen, Tian Wenjian felt that he couldn't fail anymore, Feng Xiaochen succeeded Luo Xiangfei as the general manager of the equipment company, and as Luo Xiangfei's former secretary, he didn't get this inheritance, isn't this a failure?

What kind of skills did Feng Xiaochen have? When he first came to the capital, he was just a junior high school graduate. It was precisely because Luo Xiangfei attached great importance to him that he specifically asked for an opportunity to be sent to the Academy of Social Sciences for graduate studies from the Economic Commission that he got a master's diploma and became a disciple of Shen Rongru, a master of economics, and has since entered the fast track of his career. If he hadn't had Feng Xiaochen, would this opportunity have fallen to him? If he was a student of Shen Rongru, and if Luo Xiangfei had intentionally cultivated himself, he would at least be a deputy department now, right?

Jealousy is such a thing, once a seed is planted in the heart, it will grow irrepressibly. On weekdays, Tian Wenjian doesn't say anything, but when an old classmate asked him about the relationship between Feng Xiaochen and Chenyu Company, he couldn't help but spit out: "What kind of start-up capital given by his grandmother is clearly that Feng Xiaochen used his power to get state secret technology and resold it to foreigners, so he earned the first pot of gold." ”

As soon as this remark came out, his old classmate was scared out of sweat, and he hurriedly asked him if he had real evidence. You must know that the betrayal of state secret technology by state cadres is a major event that pierces the sky. If this is how the Chenyu Group, which is now well-known in China, started, then this company has brought the original sin from the beginning of its establishment. Feng Xiaochen is well-known in the circle of officials of the central ministries and commissions, and everyone thinks that this is a rising star. If Feng Xiaochen had done such a thing in his early years, then ...... , the old classmates didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Tian Wenjian doesn't care, anyway, it's a private chat, he can deny what he says, and the old classmate can still take a tape recorder to record what he said and confront him? Besides, Tian Wenjian is sure about Feng Xiaochen's betrayal of technology, and he is not afraid if he really wants to poke it out.

That old classmate was one of Jiang Zhong's elders, and he was also entrusted by Jiang Zhong to inquire about Feng Xiaochen's situation. The reason why I found Tian Wenjian was because I heard that Tian Wenjian had stayed in the Metallurgical Bureau with Feng Xiaochen, and I came to ask Tian Wenjian with the mentality of having dates and not hitting a rod, who would have thought that this rod would actually poke a hornet's nest.

Jiang Zhong got the news and was like a treasure. He immediately reported the matter to Han Nanbin, and then asked his elders to make an appointment with Tian Wenjian and let Han Nanbin have a face-to-face meeting with him.

"I only heard from my colleagues in the Metallurgical Bureau about this matter later. Tian Wenjian introduced to Han Nanbin, "In that period, Feng Xiaochen and a cadre named Wang Weilong, who was seconded by the Metallurgical Bureau at that time, walked around very diligently, and he asked Wang Weilong to draw a lot of mechanical drawings for him. Later, he went to Germany with the negotiation team of the Metallurgical Bureau, and when he came back, he said that he had found his long-lost grandmother, and that his grandmother had invested in him, acquired a bankrupt German enterprise called Philo Company, and built a joint venture in Nam Giang Province in the name of Philo Company, in fact, the so-called foreign capital was his own assets. ”

"However, what is the connection between the drawing of drawings and his acquisition of Philo?" Han Nanbin asked.

Tian Wenjian said: "The drawings he asked Wang Weilong to draw were always in his room before he left the country, and his colleagues in the same room had seen them. But when he went abroad, the drawings disappeared and never appeared again. Tell me, where did the drawings go?"

As the saying goes, if you don't know about it, you can't do it unless you do. Feng Xiaochen's first pot of gold was indeed obtained by selling technology, but what he sold was not state secret technology, but his traveler welfare, some worthless patented technologies stolen from later generations. These patented technologies do not belong to China in later generations, they were invented by European companies, and Feng Xiaochen is equivalent to taking the technology invented by Europeans in the 90s to the 80s and selling it at a good price.

The technology that Feng Xiaochen sells must be drawn into drawings to be valuable. Although Feng Xiaochen in the previous life was born in a mechanical class, he was already accustomed to CAD drawings, and he became a lame duck without the computer. Because Wang Weilong owed Feng Xiaochen a favor, he offered to help Feng Xiaochen draw. This kind of thing has one more person to participate in, and it is even more impossible to keep it secret. Wang Weilong didn't think there was anything worth keeping secret about this matter, and he didn't deliberately hide it from his colleagues when he made the drawing, so many people in the Metallurgical Bureau knew about it.

It's not a big deal for an engineer to draw a few mechanical drawings. Everyone knew that Wang Weilong was drawing, but they didn't take it to heart. Tian Wenjian had heard people talk about it back then, and after many years, he realized that these drawings might be related to Feng Xiaochen's starting capital, so when he met his old colleagues, he would inevitably ask a few more questions, and after coming and going, he figured out the key points.

When Feng Xiaochen first started a business, he used a trick to acquire Philo Company in Germany, and then returned to China for a joint venture in the name of Philo Company to avoid discrimination against the private economy at that time. Later, the national policy was gradually liberalized, and Feng Xiaochen gradually transferred the equity of Philo Company to Feng Li's name. This matter is also inconspicuous, but if you want to investigate deliberately, you can find out.

Feng Xiaochen said that the money for the acquisition of Philo Company was given by Yan Leqin, which was able to hide from the superior leaders back then, but now when I look back, I feel that there are many flaws. Back then, people always felt that overseas Chinese must be very rich, and it was not surprising that Yan Leqin was able to come up with so much money, but now people know that overseas Chinese are actually just overseas middle class and do not have this kind of investment ability at all. In addition, the equity of Chen Yu Company is in the hands of Feng Li, and Feng Fei and Feng Hua have shares, but the proportion is not high. If the venture capital comes from Yan Leqin, how can the old lady favor one over the other and only give the company to the eldest son, but not to the second and third children?

Nothing can stand up to pondering, Tian Wenjian has been pondering Feng Xiaochen's affairs repeatedly for several years, and slowly sorted out the clues. The situation is very clear, Feng Xiaochen got some technology out of nowhere, and then took the opportunity to go abroad, secretly sold it to foreigners, and then used the money to build the current Chenyu company.

However, these technologies may also have been invented by Feng Xiaochen himself. Han Nam-bin threw out another question.

Tian Wenjian sneered: "Mr. Han, do you think it is possible? What was the situation in China at that time, when reform and opening up had just begun, and the technical level of backbone enterprises like Qin Chong was very different from that of foreign countries. A temporary worker in Nam Giang province, with a junior high school education, who can sell several technologies for millions of marks, do you think this will be invented by himself?"
