Chapter 109: The Internationalist Spirit of Philo's Company
"It's Ms. Feng and Mr. Peman, welcome, please sit down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Xiao Feng, you also find a place to sit. ”
Meng Fanze walked out from behind the desk to greet Feng Xiaochen and his party, beckoning them to take their seats. A girl in her 20s followed Meng Fanze and worked as a translator for him.
After shaking hands and greeting each other, the guests and hosts took their respective seats. Feng Shuyi and Peiman sat on two sofas, and Feng Xiaochen found a chair to sit next to him. After Meng Fanze greeted everyone, he sat back on the big chair behind the desk, and his secretary Zhao Rui sat next to him, making a written record of the meeting.
The waiter came in and poured tea for everyone, and then quietly exited the room.
"Mr. Minister, I have taken the liberty of bothering you. First of all, on behalf of my mother-in-law, Ms. Yan Leqin, please allow me to express my heartfelt thanks to you for the care you have given Xiaochen. At the beginning of the talks, Feng Shuyi was the first to speak, but what she said was not a business matter.
When Feng Xiaochen was in Germany, he once told Yan Leqin about Meng Fanze's support for him. This time Feng Shuyi came to China, Yan Leqin specially told her to express her gratitude. What a prominent identity the deputy minister of a country with a population of 1 billion is, Yan Leqin can imagine that his grandson can be favored by the minister at a young age, which can be said to be the luck of the previous life. If she, as an elder, doesn't express it, she will inevitably be too ignorant.
Feng Shuyi's words surprised Meng Fanze a little, he looked at Feng Xiaochen, and then said with a smile: "Ms. Feng, you and Ms. Yan are too polite. Xiao Feng is our cadre and has done a lot of excellent work, and the organization should care for him. Actually, I didn't take much care of him, but he helped me a lot, and I should thank you. ”
"Mr. Minister is really joking, Xiaochen is just a child. Feng Shuyi said, glanced at Feng Xiaochen playfully, and sure enough, she saw Feng Xiaochen's face embarrassed, probably dissatisfied with being underestimated.
"I heard Xiao Feng say, Ms. Feng came to China this time to make investments?" Meng Fanze led his words to the point.
"Yes. Feng Shuyi said, she pointed to Peiman, who was sitting on the side, and said, "I came to China this time to accompany Mr. Peiman. Mr. Peman is a commissioner at Philo Metalworking in Germany and has come to China for investment investigations. He was granted carte blanche by the company to enter into a joint venture agreement with the Chinese side. The president of Philo was very familiar with one of my mother-in-law's students, so it can be said that my mother-in-law made the investment. ”
"Thank you, Ms. Yan, for your patriotism. Meng Fanze said, after speaking, he turned his head to Peman again, and said: "Mr. Peman, on behalf of the Chinese government, I welcome your company to invest in China. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Minister. Peman said quickly. In front of Meng Fanze, he felt a little like he was on pins and needles, for fear that if he said something wrong, he would cause the minister's displeasure. A Chinese minister may not be able to control him, but his boss will definitely care about the minister's emotions, and if the minister is unhappy, will the boss be angry with him?
"What kind of business is Mr. Peman's company engaged in?" asked Meng Fanze like a homely person.
"Our company mainly makes oil film bearings, and also makes some screws on machine tools. Peman replied in a proper manner.
Meng Fanze nodded and said: "Oil film bearing? I have heard of this thing, is this kind of thing used in internal combustion engines, compressors, and blowers? What are the benefits of it compared with the ball bearings we usually use, Xiao Feng, can you tell me about it?"
Feng Xiaochen said: "The oil film bearing is a kind of sliding bearing, according to the principle of fluid lubrication film pressure generation, it is divided into hydrodynamic bearing, hydrostatic bearing and hydrostatic bearing, according to the different fluid media, it is divided into mineral lubricating oil, non-Newtonian fluid, other liquids and air.
The biggest advantage of oil film bearing is that there is a thin oil film between the spindle and the bearing, there is no direct contact between metals, so there is almost no wear, frictional resistance is very small, and the service life is much longer than that of ball bearings. In addition, the oil film bearings also have good vibration absorption capacity, smooth operation and low noise, which is ideal for heavy-duty equipment such as large generators and rolling mills. In addition, oil film bearings are also widely used in precision machine tools that require high precision and speed. ”
Meng Fanze listened carefully to Feng Xiaochen's introduction, and smiled at Feng Shuyi: "Hehe, Ms. Feng, have you heard, this nephew of yours has a very high professional level, and he is a rare talent." ”
"Mr. Minister compliments him so much, children will be proud. Feng Shuyi put on the posture of an aunt, causing Feng Xiaochen to snort coldly next to him to show his dissatisfaction.
Meng Fanze didn't care about the fight between his aunt and nephew, he continued: "Xiao Feng, what is the level of oil film bearings in our country, you can also introduce it." ”
"Okay. Feng Xiaochen said, "As far as I know, there are many domestic enterprises that can produce oil film bearings, and there are more than 20 companies with a certain scale, and the product types cover a full range from high-speed and light-load to low-speed and heavy-load. However, because of historical reasons, China's oil film bearing technology and Western developed countries, such as Germany, there is still a certain gap, especially in the lack of theoretical research methods of oil film bearings, resulting in relatively backward product performance, large heavy-duty equipment on the oil film bearings also have to rely on imports, some precision equipment also need to use imported oil film bearings.
I have roughly learned from the import and export department that our country's annual foreign exchange expenditure for the import of oil film bearings is as high as more than 3 million US dollars, which is still in the case that many enterprises cannot import because of lack of foreign exchange. ”
The data Feng Xiaochen said was learned by him through Wang Weilong. Wang Weilong has some friends in the foreign trade system, and the information in this regard is relatively comprehensive.
Meng Fanze wrote down a number on the sticky note in front of him, and then asked, "After the introduction of Philo's technology, can this situation be effectively improved?"
"I need to ask Mr. Peyman to explain this. Feng Xiaochen smiled and made a gesture to Peiman, this question can actually be answered, but since Peiman was brought, he can't let him pretend to be dumb next to him, right?
Hearing Feng Xiaochen call out his name, Peiman quickly shook his spirits and replied seriously: "Mr. Minister, please allow me to introduce you to Philo Company. Filo is a well-known manufacturer of fluid film bearings in Germany, we have more than 20 know-how, and we have also participated in a number of patent pools related to bearings. We are going to China to seek joint venture opportunities, and we plan to move all the oil film bearing production business in Germany to China, and the corresponding patents will also be used for the joint venture in China.
We believe that after the establishment of this joint venture, it will be able to produce a large number of advanced oil film bearing products that meet the needs of Chinese enterprises, and realize import substitution for China. In addition, some of our products will be sold back to the European market, which can obtain a large amount of foreign exchange for the Chinese government. ”
Hearing the translator relay Peiman's words, Meng Fanze's face showed a meaningful smile, he looked at Feng Xiaochen, and said: "Xiao Feng, it seems that Philo Company has a lot of feelings for China, thinking about what Chinese companies think and being anxious about what Chinese companies are anxious about, this spirit of internationalism is worthy of appreciation." ”
Feng Xiaochen rolled his eyes, he knew that Meng Fanze's words were purely teasing him. As early as when Feng Xiaochen had just returned from Germany and reported to Meng Fanze that he wanted to set up a joint venture, Meng Fanze had already seen that this so-called foreign-funded enterprise should have something to do with Feng Xiaochen. Peyman just said a lot of high-sounding words, each of which was from the standpoint of China, which resembled the tone of an employee of a German-owned company. Meng Fanze immediately understood the mystery of this, and he was also quite emotional: this Feng Xiaochen really has two strokes, and he can actually invite a German to sing this double reed with him.
"Xiao Zhao. Meng Fanze turned his head to his secretary and said: "You have just heard that the products of Philo Company are of great help to the modernization of our country's machinery industry, and you should pay attention to the establishment of joint ventures by Philo Company in China." After Mr. Peiman returns from his inspection in Nanjiang, you will accompany him to the Foreign Investment Administration Commission and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce to handle matters related to the registration and registration of the joint venture, and you must seize the time to ensure that the joint venture project is put into operation as soon as possible. ”
"I understand, Minister!" replied Secretary Zhao Rui.
Feng Xiaochen brought Feng Shuyi and Peiman to see Meng Fanze, in fact, he was to give an explanation to Meng Fanze. In front of Meng Fanze, although he didn't break the words, Peman's performance was enough for Meng Fanze to understand the true situation of this joint venture. Meng Fanze had promised Feng Xiaochen before that he would give him some help in industrial and commercial registration and registration, but only if Feng Xiaochen had to explain what was going on with the joint venture.
After confirming from Peman that the right to speak in the joint venture was in Feng Xiaochen's hands, and the products produced were also the basic parts urgently needed for the country's industrial construction, Meng Fanze had nothing to worry about this company, so he told Zhao Rui to help run errands. If the origin of this company is unknown, or if the investor has malicious intentions towards China, Meng Fanze will not open this opening casually.
After completing this procedure, Feng Shuyi and his entourage spent another two days in the capital, and then set off separately. Feng Shuyi, Arkan and Dampier, accompanied by Chang Min and Yan Fusheng, set off for the Lengshui mine to inspect the situation of stone raw materials. Peiman followed Feng Xiaochen to Nanjiang to implement the joint venture.
The introduction of foreign capital is a big thing, Luo Xiangfei gave Feng Xiaochen an indefinite long vacation, and told him to handle this matter with peace of mind and come back. (To be continued.) )
