In Chaweng City, Tao Jialong and others stayed in the hotel.

Zhou Liqiang hung up his mobile phone, frowned and said to Tao Jialong and Luo Yonglin: "Brother Tao, Brother Luo, the situation is not right." McCarty said that he personally led a team to Nguyen's Farm in the morning, but he met a Chinese government official who told him not to attack Nguyen's Farm and said that he would come to talk to us in the afternoon. As a result, McCarty went home. ”

"This McCarty must be playing tricks again. Luo Yonglin said angrily.

Tao Jialong asked, "Did McCarty say what the origin of this Chinese official is?"

"That's it, it's the president of the association I told you about yesterday, named Feng Xiaochen. Zhou Liqiang said.

"Is it him?" Tao Jialong thought for a while and said, "It's not surprising, it is estimated that Lu Ming also heard what he said in Gabe, and felt that this thick leg could be hugged, so he invited him over." McCarty didn't know what an association was all about, so he didn't dare to do it, and waited for us to speak. ”

"It must be so. Luo Yonglin agreed, "Da Long, why don't I call McCarty and tell him that there are not 10,000 or 5,000 associations like this in China, and that there is no need to be afraid at all, and let him go and run Ruan's farm." ”

Tao Jialong smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry at this time." Didn't the president, named Feng Shi, say that he was coming to talk to us in the afternoon, let's talk to him. By the way, Hadron, what do you think his association is called?"

"China-Africa Association for Industrial and Technical Cooperation. Zhou Liqiang said.

"Okay, I'll find out the situation first. Tao Jialong said.

The second ancestor is not blindly reckless, I heard that Feng Xiaochen came to Chaweng and wanted to meet with him, Tao Jialong of course wanted to investigate Feng Xiaochen's background. It was inconvenient for him to talk directly to his father about the matter, so he called a small man who worked in a certain provincial organ and asked him to help him learn about the situation of the "China-Africa Industrial and Technical Cooperation Association."

Fa Xiao is the deputy director of a key department, and he also has some connections. It didn't take long for the small call to come back.

"Dalong, I asked for you. Their chairman is named Feng Xiaochen, who used to be the general manager of the National Equipment Industry Corporation, and he is at the department level. Fa Xiao said on the phone, with a little relaxation in his voice.

"That's not a small deal. Tao Jialong felt a pang in his heart, with his father's level, he didn't have to be afraid of a department-level cadre. But in any case, the level of the main hall is indeed not low, and there is still some pressure on him to go head-on.

Fa Xiao smiled and said, "Dalong, I haven't finished yet." This surnamed Feng, a young man, is less than 40 years old and is in the main hall. Originally, I would have done a good job, and there was no problem in getting a deputy department. Who knows, he offended people everywhere, and many people rated him very badly. A few years ago, there was a serious accident at the construction site of the Rui Son Power Plant in Nam Giang Province, and the project also had some relationship with the State Equipment Company. ”

"Go down!" Tao Jialong was overjoyed, "So, what kind of association is he, it's a place for the elderly?"

"This association is new and not very well-known. Let him be the president, it is estimated that he will be given a treatment, whether it is the main hall or a demotion, I didn't inquire. Anyway, there are many such associations in the country, and when they come to the province, no one will bird them at all. Fa Xiao said confidently.

The main scope of work of the China-Africa Industrial Technical Cooperation Association is in Africa, and it is normal that it has no influence in the country. In order to prevent some Western countries from taking advantage of the topic, the state has also adopted a low-key attitude towards this association and has not deliberately publicized it. In the field of equipment industry, the leaders of various large enterprises know the status of the association because they know Feng Xiaochen's influence. The department where this hair is located is not an industrial department, so naturally I don't know what the association is all about.

Feng Xiaochen's last impression on the system was his voluntary resignation after the Seosan power plant accident. At such a level, he suddenly resigned, and there will be no shortage of speculations in the market. The more concentrated point of view is that Feng Xiaochen has lost power, and the so-called voluntary resignation is just to save face for him from above, and he has not been directly dismissed. According to this logic, the conclusion is naturally that Feng Xiaochen has no status.

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to meeting this President Feng now. ”

Tao Jialong hung up the small phone, relayed the situation to Luo Yonglin and Zhou Liqiang, and then said happily. An outdated department-level cadre wants to run in front of a few of them, isn't this a face to help? and see how Ben Erzu slapped his face hard to let him know the price of meddling.

Feng Xiaochen came a little earlier than Tao Jialong and his party imagined, almost just after lunch. Gosner has a seven-hour time difference with China, which is eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Feng Xiaochen came with two young people, Feng Xiaochen introduced that these are all staff members of the association, one is called Hang Jin, and the other is called Xiong Hua.

"Welcome President Feng, I have admired my name for a long time. ”

Tao Jialong took Luo Yonglin and Zhou Liqiang to receive Feng Xiaochen and his party in the hotel suite he rented, and after beckoning the guests to sit down, he made a gesture to Zhou Liqiang, Zhou Liqiang took out three bottles of mineral water from a box thrown on the ground and placed them in front of Feng Xiaochen and his party, which can be regarded as hospitality. As for Tao Jialong himself, there is a purple sand teapot in front of him, which is the kind of style that can be directly picked up and drunk to his mouth.

In fact, regardless of the position, just based on Feng Xiaochen's age, Tao Jialong and others should not despise him. It doesn't hurt to ask Feng Xiaochen to drink mineral water, you can say that you are out of the house and the conditions are limited, but you have a purple clay pot in your hand, but you let the central officials who are more than 10 years older than you drink mineral water, this spectrum is too big, and it is inevitable that you will pull the egg.

"My intention, I think Mr. Tao should also know. I have been entrusted by the Central Committee to coordinate China-Africa economic and trade cooperation. I heard that there were some disputes between Longfei Company and Ruan's Farm, so I wanted to come to talk to Mr. Tao, hoping that the two of you can resolve the entanglement and jointly contribute to China-Africa cooperation. Feng Xiaochen didn't care about Tao Jialong's neglect, and said straight to the point.

"President Feng, you said that you were entrusted by the central government to coordinate China-Africa economic and trade cooperation, why haven't I heard of it?" Tao Jialong said slowly.

"That's normal, right? We are a service organization, and when the company has nothing to do, we will not come to bother, so Mr. Tao may not have heard of our agency. Feng Xiaochen said.

"You said that you represent the Central Committee, and we believe it? Do you have any credentials?" Zhou Liqiang teased beside him.

Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "There is no evidence for this, but if you have anything that you need to ask our association to coordinate, we will definitely be able to do it, and then you will know our role." As far as the current dispute between you and Nguyen Thi Farm is concerned, in fact, it does not matter whether our association has power or not, I mainly came to talk to you about the overall situation of China-Africa cooperation. ”

"I want to hear about it. Tao Jialong made a gesture and looked like he was well educated. In fact, he did go to college, not the kind of straw bag who didn't learn and didn't know how to learn.

Feng Xiaochen said: "China-Africa economic and trade cooperation is an important strategic measure for our country. On the one hand, it can enhance South-South cooperation and promote the formation of a community with a shared future for mankind, and on the other hand, it is also of great significance for domestic enterprises to open up the African market and obtain African resources. In the context of today's Sino-US trade frictions, China-Africa cooperation is of greater significance to China, through China-Africa cooperation, we can break the US market blockade against us and digest domestic production capacity, which is of great benefit to maintaining employment and promoting growth. ”

"That's a good point!" Tao Jialong applauded twice teasingly, and then said, "But what does this have to do with us?"

"Haha, yes, what does this have to do with us?" Luo Yonglin and Zhou Liqiang also coaxed.

Hang Jin and Xiong Hua's faces were ugly, in their hearts, Feng Xiaochen was sacrosanct, and now, a few little children dared to humiliate Feng Xiaochen like this, and they didn't regard Feng Xiaochen as a first-level leader at all, how could they bear it.

Feng Xiaochen would not be angered by such a little trick, he smiled faintly and said, "You come to Gosner to set up a farm, the state is encouraged, and it will also provide you with support. However, you have taken inappropriate measures to force Nguyen Thi Farm to transfer the land it has developed to you at a low price, which is unfair competition and does not benefit the country in any way. If our Chinese-funded enterprises adopt this method and dump each other, it will only benefit some corrupt officials in Africa in the end, and the other is to make those enterprises that have worked hard to develop lose all their money, you say, this is the way to go, right?"

"I think that's right. Tao Jialong said in a joking tone, "We came to Africa to do business, and we learned one thing, that is, whoever has the ability can eat meat, this is our approach, President Feng thinks something is wrong?"

"Yes, survival of the fittest, isn't this the principle of a market economy?" Luo Yonglin echoed.

Zhou Liqiang laughed: "That's it, that's what we did, President Feng is not convinced, you come to beat me." I'm afraid you're too old to beat us. ”

Feng Xiaochen still had a calm face, and said: "I heard that the three of them are all children of cadres, and if you do this, your parents don't have any opinions?"

Luo Yonglin said: "President Feng is right, we are all from cadre families. However, I'm sorry, my father is also at the main hall level, and he is in the main hall, unlike Chairman Feng, who was taken down by someone. What my father did to me was highly supportive. Does President Feng know why?"
