Chapter Seventy-One: Misunderstood
The trip of the delegation of the Metallurgical Bureau to Germany was a great success. Under the arrangement of Joel Company www.biquge.info the delegation has negotiated with more than a dozen metallurgical equipment manufacturers, and preliminarily determined the intention of cooperating in the manufacture of the 1780 mm hot rolling mill production line of Nanjiang Iron and Steel Plant. The follow-up work will be taken over by the Metallurgical Design Institute, the Nanjiang Provincial Metallurgical Department, the Nanjiang Iron and Steel Plant, the State Equipment Import and Export Corporation and several heavy machinery enterprises that are ready to undertake domestic manufacturing tasks, and they will communicate in more detail in the design of the production line, subcontracting, installation, payment and other aspects, and the documents that need to be signed and exchanged are calculated in tons, which is not the Metallurgical Bureau, an industry coordination agency that can do it on behalf of the industry.
After nearly a month in Germany, the delegation returned home victoriously. The Metallurgical Bureau arranged a bus to meet you at the airport. When they set out, everyone carried a large box containing clothes, documents, etc., and when they returned, everyone's box changed from one to two or more, and the added part was naturally purchased abroad.
After returning to the Metallurgical Bureau, the report meeting, celebration meeting, etc., do not need to be detailed. After the initial hustle and bustle, everyone's eyes were on Feng Xiaochen, who turned from an ugly duckling to a black swan overnight:
"Xiao Feng, yes, I heard that you have found overseas relations in Germany!"
"Xiao Feng, I've heard everything about you, tsk, it's really good luck!"
"Xiao Feng, I heard that you are going to study in Germany soon, don't forget our big brothers when the time comes......"
"Xiao Feng, I heard that you are going to Germany to inherit the inheritance......"
Feng Xiaochen greeted these greetings with a smile, but when he heard the last sentence, no matter how good his cultivation was, he couldn't help but protest: "I said Lao Wang, it's okay not to take you to curse my grandma like this!"
"Oops, gaffe, gaffe, damn it, I'm damned......"
Wang Weilong, who said the wrong thing, hurriedly slapped himself in the face. A few days ago, a domestic newspaper published an exemplary deed, saying that he refused to go abroad to inherit the inheritance and was determined to stay on the grassland to become a private teacher. Wang Weilong had this story in his head, and he said it with one mouth, but he forgot that Feng Xiaochen's grandmother was still alive and well, and it was really disrespectful to say that the inheritance.
While talking about these words, the two of them were staying in Wang Weilong's room drinking tea. The colleague who shared the room with Wang Weilong had already taken leave to go home early for the Chinese New Year, and their conversation was not disturbed by anyone else. Feng Xiaochen interrupted Wang Weilong's self-blame with a smile, took out an envelope from his arms, put it in front of Wang Weilong, and said: "Lao Wang, before going abroad, please add so many days to draw drawings for me, these are your rewards, don't be too little." ”
"Xiao Feng, what do you mean by this!" Wang Weilong's face changed suddenly, and he reprimanded sharply, "My brother was born in drawing pictures back then, helping you draw a few pictures, and what kind of remuneration do you say, isn't this a cold talk for your brother?"
Of course, Feng Xiaochen knew that Wang Weilong's words were half-truths. When he asked Wang Weilong to draw, he clearly told Wang Weilong, saying that these were several inventions he had made, and he wanted to find someone to see if he could sell them for a price. This kind of thing can't be said in front of the leader, but in private, everyone agrees. Feng Xiaochen first knew Wang Weilong, also because Wang Weilong was using his business time to do private work, and no one was much taller than anyone else.
Feng Xiaochen wants to do big things, and he can't do without some people at hand to help run errands, Wang Weilong is an assistant in Feng Xiaochen's picture. This gentleman has good technical skills, honest but not pedantic, there are several children in the family, it is when he is short of money, as long as Feng Xiaochen can give him enough benefits, he will not worry about not working hard for himself.
As for whether revealing such a thing to Wang Weilong will bring some hidden dangers, Feng Xiaochen has also thought deeply about it. In fact, the risk he needs to take is only in the past few years, and when the policy is further liberalized, even if the leaders know that he has sold patents abroad, they will not pursue it, but will praise him for his ability to earn foreign exchange.
Of course, what is the price of these patents sold abroad, Feng Xiaochen will not tell Wang Weilong. Based on the vision of the domestic people at that time, it is estimated that these technologies can be worth 35000. When you say that a drawing has been sold for hundreds of thousands, people's first reaction is not envy or jealousy, but whether you are crazy about money.
"Brother Wang, didn't I tell you a long time ago? If these technologies can be sold, let's share the money together. If you can't sell it, you'll be burdened by me. This trip in Germany, I happened to meet my aunt who is engaged in patents, so I asked her to sell the technology and make a little money. This part is for you, if you don't take it, you will look down on me Xiao Feng. Feng Xiaochen pretended to be serious and said.
This kind of pushing, pushing, and shoving human relations is just a few routines. After completing several necessary steps such as anger, politeness, and shyness, Wang Weilong finally took the envelope in the name of disrespect. After taking out the stack of banknotes from the envelope, Wang Weilong was really shocked, this was a full 500 yuan, and it was a foreign exchange coupon that could not be exchanged for money in China. Foreign exchange vouchers can buy some imported goods that cannot be seen in the market in foreign exchange stores, and are quite popular with some wealthy people, if you exchange them for them, you can exchange more money than the amount on the ticket.
"This, this, this...... Xiao Feng, there are so many, I really can't accept it. "Wang Weilong's performance is even more flustered than just now, this time it is not fake.
Feng Xiaochen pressed back the money handed over by Wang Weilong with his hand, and said, "Old Wang, this is what you deserve." Truth be told, I've got more than that. ”
"That's what you earned. You invented the technology, and I just helped draw a diagram. Draw this kind of picture, in our factory, any technician can do it, and if he is given an overtime pay of 10 yuan, he can be happy to die. Wang Weilong said.
Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you are depreciating yourself when you say this. Seriously, after going abroad, I felt that we don't attach much importance to knowledge and talent in China, and if a talent like Brother Wang is placed abroad, a monthly salary of 5,000 marks is considered low. ”
"But we're in China. Wang Weilong glanced at Feng Xiaochen vigilantly, and said in his heart, this kid won't be rebelled abroad, why does this sound like he is going to pull me into the water. He pinched the stack of banknotes with his hand, wanting to force it back to Feng Xiaochen, but he was a little reluctant, wanting to accept it half-push and half-on-the-spot, but worried that there would be any deeper traps in the back.
"Brother Wang, in fact, I came to you, and there are other things. Feng Xiaochen diverted the topic, and then snorted at the stack of money, and said, "You put the money away first, I have something serious to talk to you, in case someone comes in and sees it, it will be inappropriate." ”
Wang Weilong thought for a while, opened the drawer, put the money in, and then said, "Xiao Feng, between the two of us, there is anything that can't be said." However, I have to make it clear first, we can't do anything that violates principles and laws, because it can't be ......."
"Uh......" Feng Xiaochen reacted for a while before he realized what Wang Weilong meant, and he thought that this old man had betrayed the country....... Then again, in that political environment back then, as soon as he came back from abroad, he stuffed money into a deputy department-level cadre, and said that foreign treatment was better, which would indeed be misleading.
"Lao Wang, who do you think of me?" Feng Xiaochen said aggrievedly, "Although my little Feng is young, he has also been educated by the party for many years, my grandfather is a patriotic engineer, and he gave up the superior living conditions abroad and resolutely returned to China to participate in the construction, how could I do something that betrayed the country?"
"Uh-uh, I didn't mean that. Wang Weilong was a little embarrassed. As soon as I received someone's money, I turned around and suspected that they were spies, which seemed to be a bit unkind. He covered up and said: "Xiao Feng, look where you want to go, I just said, there are some unhealthy trends in society now, we are all state cadres, don't get involved in these, I didn't say betrayal or anything...... By the way, you just said that you have something to tell me, what is the specific matter? ”
"That's the ......," Feng Xiaochen took a while before adjusting his train of thought. However, Wang Weilong's reaction just now reminded him that in the current environment, he should be a little more careful in doing things, and don't let the "relevant departments" target him. At that time, China had just begun to engage with the world, and many people still had the string of struggle on their minds, and even the policies proposed by the central government to attract foreign investment and other things were debated in academic circles, many of which were politically level. Even the overseas relationship he just recognized, in the eyes of the leadership, does he know that it is not an unstable factor?
"My grandmother is a patriotic overseas Chinese, and when my grandfather returned to China to participate in the construction, she did not come back with me because my little uncle was too young to stay in Germany. Later, for reasons we all know, she couldn't come back. Although she can't come back, she has always been thinking about the construction of the motherland in her heart. When she came to me this time, she said that she wanted to return to China to make some investment and open a factory in China, specializing in the production of industrial basic parts with a certain technical content, to support national construction. Feng Xiaochen explained to Wang Weilong in the most standardized language possible.
"This is a good thing!" Wang Weilong praised, "The patriotic feelings of the old people are really worth learning from." ”
"yes, yes. Feng Xiaochen said, "The old man has such a wish, and I, as a grandchild, of course have to help her realize it." She said that if she wants to invest in building a factory in China, the capital and equipment can be obtained from Germany, but the specific workers and technicians still have to be based in our country, right? And my grandmother means that she hopes to use this factory to train our own technical talents and skilled workers with an international vision in China. I'm wondering how I can do it. ”
"This is very simple, just find a mature company in China and engage in a joint venture with your grandmother. Isn't it very simple for her to contribute money and equipment, and for us to contribute people to the factory?" Wang Weilong said.
