In fact, Feng Xiaochen really didn't dig a pit for Gai Zhan, the path he pointed out to Gai Zhan was completely feasible, but it just depended on whether Gai Zhan would operate or not. Of course, the person who can mix in the position of minister will not be a fool, and if Gai Zhan works hard, there is hope for him to become the future prime minister, not to mention that Feng Xiaochen also hinted that he would support him in terms of political performance and funding.

The cultivation of proxies by Western countries in Asian, African and Latin American countries is an almost open affair, and China has been relatively shy about it, at least so far. After all, Feng Xiaochen is a traverser, and his mind is far more open than that of the current officials. In his opinion, it is legitimate to cultivate a few agents like Gaijan, so why not?

Feng Xiaochen's painting of Gaijan's pie did work, and in less than half a day, many banners in Chinese were added to the celebration site, and the original banners in English and Avalare were also replaced, highlighting China's role in the project. The press release, which was to be distributed to journalists after the celebration, was also re-edited to include a section on Made in China. Gai Zhan also specially sent someone to send this draft to Feng Xiaochen for a review of it, which is also a show of goodwill.

The next day's celebration opened in a joyful atmosphere, according to the local custom in Africa, the background music was loud, and groups of strong men and fat girls twisted their waists and danced wildly, and the ornaments on their bodies shook the audience's dizziness. In addition to Avaré's own personnel and Chinese visitors, there were also a large number of officials from other African countries, such as the Minister of Industry of the Die, the Deputy Prime Minister of Sucro, and the Minister of Economy of Tajikistan and the United States.

Africa's industrial base is very weak, and the completion of the hot rolling line in Alvaré is a very grand event for the entire African continent, so officials from various countries have come to watch the ceremony. Gai Zhan read the names of these officials as if he were reading them in cross talk, but Feng Xiaochen sat down but couldn't hear the names clearly, he could only guess who the people were on the information in his hand, and at the same time drew circles on the names of these people with a pencil. It's not about cursing these people, it's about how to get money out of their pockets in the future.

"Thank you to all the guests, thank you to the friends from the press, and thank you very much for coming to witness the commissioning ceremony of the 1700 mm hot rolling production line of the Batin Iron and Steel Plant. This production line includes slab heating, rough rolling, finishing rolling, coiling and other processes, using the world's most popular hydraulic bending roll and continuous plate shape control technology, in the finishing rolling process, adding the middle strip edge heating link, can comprehensively improve the metallographic structure of the strip steel......

The production capacity of the line is 800,000 tonnes of finished rolled sheet per year, with room for improvement to be increased to 1.6 million tonnes. The inauguration of this production line will double the steel production of Alvaré on the existing basis and improve the quality of steel across the board. Its inauguration will not only improve the industrial level of the Republic of Alvare, but also improve the supply of steel to the African continent, and we will reduce our dependence on Europe and the United States......"

Prime Minister Avalé, who gave the first speech, did not hesitate to praise this production line as a rare one in the world. The technical vocabulary in the speech was quite unfamiliar to him, so much so that he was still a little stumbling when he read the script. But even so, the eyes of those other state officials who came to participate in the celebration widened, and their hearts were full of envy and jealousy.

The celebration was held in the newly completed hot rolling mill, where guests sat right next to the stirrup line, and were able to see the line up close. Most officials are unfamiliar with the technology of steel rolling, but that doesn't stop them from appreciating the industrial beauty of the equipment. Coupled with the words that came out of Prime Minister Avare's mouth, everyone felt that there was no other advanced technology in the world.

"It's amazing!"

"This must be made in England, only the British can make such a good device!"

"No, no, no, I think you're mistaken, it's the Germans who have the strongest rolling equipment, do you know Klinz?"

"But I saw that there were some Asians sitting on the podium, and I was very suspicious that the production line was made in Japan, and the Japanese technology was also very good. ”

"Yes, our country is also preparing to introduce a set of fertilizer equipment from Japan, but there are still some troubles in terms of price. Avaray is really wealthy, and he can afford to build such a hot rolling production line, and such a production line will cost 500 million US dollars, right?"

"This is not an investment that our country can afford......"

In the midst of all the talk, Prime Minister Avaré had finished his speech and retreated to his seat. Gajan walked back to the microphone and solemnly announced:

"Dear friends, next, please allow me to introduce to you the Chinese friends who helped us build this hot rolling production line in the Republic of Avare, and I would like to invite Lu Zhonghu, Director of the Chinese Ministry of Machinery!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, looking at the Chinese who walked towards the table with a smile, and all the African officials were dumbfounded:

"What? China!"

"I heard you right, Gaijan said that this production line was built by the Chinese?"

"How is this possible? China...... Isn't that a very backward country?"

"No, I don't think China is backward and Chinese helped us build the railway...... However, to say that they can build such a production line and reach the international advanced level, I really don't believe it!"

There were some Qin Chong's workers sitting in the audience, they were not as surprised as the African officials next to them, and when they saw the officials of their own country coming up, everyone slapped desperately. Only then did the African officials wake up and know that they had been rude, and they applauded.

"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, Minister Gaijan, all the guests at the scene, and the workers and cadres of Qinzhong, who are very happy to be able to participate in the opening ceremony of the 1700 mm hot rolling mill of the Alvarebating Iron and Steel Plant, which was built by Qinzhou Heavy Machinery Factory in China......"

Lu Zhonghu does not speak English, and his speech was delivered in Chinese, and an interpreter next to him helped him translate it into English. It was precisely because of such trouble that Lu Zhonghu did not say anything at length, but simply said some scene words and retreated. Before everyone could come to their senses, a young man with black hair and yellow skin had already walked to the table under the guidance of Gai Zhan.

"Good morning, friends. I am Feng Xiaochen from the China Major Equipment Office, and I am entrusted by our Director Lu to make a follow-up speech. Director Lu is not good at English, and he doesn't want to see our young and beautiful translator working too hard, so he only said a few words, and he has many words to greet you, so I will do it for you. ”

As soon as Feng Xiaochen came up, he found a high-sounding reason for himself. There is no way, among these Chinese and foreign officials, he is undoubtedly the most indecent, and if you want to use other reasons, it will not be his turn to speak here. It wasn't that he didn't think about letting Lu Zhonghu say what he wanted to say, but when he told Lu Zhonghu what he thought, Lu Zhonghu was completely stunned, and waved his hand again and again, saying that he couldn't say this, so it was better to ask Comrade Xiao Feng to say it in person. As for the reason, it makes sense that the translator is too tired, and it can also win a good reputation of pity and cherishment.

"I know that the most concerned question for everyone here now is whether this hot rolling production line that has reached the international advanced level is built by a Chinese company, and perhaps some friends are wondering whether we bought equipment from Western manufacturers, nailed it to the brand made in China, and then installed it, I think, I guessed correctly, right?"

Everyone laughed, Feng Xiaochen's words did speak to their hearts, and even the conjecture that bought Western equipment and pretended to be made in China was also mentioned by someone just now, and everyone still believed in this statement. Hearing this young Chinese bluntly say this sentence, everyone felt a little embarrassed. However, everyone still has to listen to the truth everywhere.

"Here, I can solemnly state to you that this hot rolling production line was built independently by China, and although it uses the patents of some enterprises, including West Dec Klinz and Japan's Sanli Steelworks, the intellectual property rights of its core technology belong to China 100 percent. The designers of this production line are Mr. Xu Wenliang and his student Mr. Cui Yongfeng of Qinzhou Heavy Machinery Factory in China!"

Speaking of this, Feng Xiaochen gestured with his hand, and Cui Yongfeng, who was sitting on the rostrum, stood up first, then stretched out his hands to help Xu Wenliang, who was sitting beside him, and bowed deeply to him. Xu Wenliang held each other hand in hand, and the master and apprentice turned to the guests a little shyly, their faces full of excitement and pride.

"Wow!"

Thunderous applause rang out, regardless of whether there were still doubts in their hearts, everyone still respected the technicians very much.

Feng Xiaochen applauded for a while, then made a gesture and asked Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng to sit down. At this time, the applause from the audience gradually stopped, and Feng Xiaochen turned his head and continued:

"Why is there any suspicion that China will not be able to build such a production line? The simple reason is that Western countries have monopolized the African market for too long, and China, as an industrial powerhouse, has been unfairly isolated from this market. Yes, I am talking about the term industrial power, and let's not forget that China is a country capable of building atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs and artificial earth satellites on its own, and just a few years ago, China successfully completed the test of an underwater launch vehicle from a nuclear submarine. Let me ask, is it doubtful that a country that can reach this level of science and technology can build a steel rolling production line?"
