Du Xiaoyuan eventually went back to Africa, while Zhou Xiaoxiao stayed in China. Taking advantage of this trip back to China, the two officially received their certificates, and Zhou Xiaoxiao also went through the resignation procedures with Longdian, preparing to go to Africa to co-manage the company with Du Xiaoyuan after unloading the "burden" in China.

In recent years, more and more people from China have gone to Africa to open up, and with the influx of a large number of Chinese capital and Chinese talents, Africa's economic situation has continued to improve. A large amount of resources are mined and sold overseas in exchange for a large amount of foreign exchange income, which in turn supports a growing internal market, attracting more capital and talent to pan for gold here. To put it in a cliché, Africa has entered a virtuous circle, and as long as it continues to develop, there is great hope for poverty alleviation and prosperity.

The second elder of the Du family felt the change in Du Xiaoyuan, and this change made them feel very gratified. It is true that they feel sorry for their son, but at the same time, they also hope that their son can get ahead. In the past, with the help of his son-in-law Feng Xiaochen, the family was not short of money, and they also had some political status in Tongyuan, but when people talked behind their backs, it was inevitable that the Du family ate soft rice, especially the Du family's kid was simply a waste, if there was no brother-in-law to help him, it was nothing.

The second elder of the Du family couldn't hear these discussions, and every time he heard them, his heart was full of bad feelings. Now that my son has gone to Africa, he has basically earned a company on his own, and he is ready to open a mine, which is something to be proud of. Du Xiaoyuan's deeds of fighting the gangsters, the second elder of the Du family was scared when they heard it, but after they returned to Tongyuan, they would definitely have to show off to their relatives and friends countless times. Who said that my son would only open a scoop in a restaurant, and which of you brats would have the guts to open a scoop for African gangsters?

The appearance of Zhou Xiaoxiao and the third generation of the Du family in her belly became the last weight that crushed the psychology of the two elders of the Du family. Zhou Xiaoxiao is a college student, more than ten years younger than Du Xiaoyuan, she is beautiful, has a good personality, and has a good family background, so that such a girl can marry Du Xiaoyuan, doesn't this just show that Du Xiaoyuan went to Africa is a correct decision? If he is stopped from going again, in case Du Xiaoyuan returns to the state of being in the past, the old couple will want to cry without tears.

Feng Xiaochen saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law nodding, so he came out to speak, saying that this time Du Xiaoyuan was in danger completely accidental. In fact, if they had not left the Mbutt construction site at that time, there should have been no danger. In addition, this incident in North Africa has sounded the alarm bell for the relevant departments of the state, and the state has already designed a plan for the occurrence of similar incidents, and it is believed that if there is such a thing in the future, the Chinese-funded institutions and Chinese personnel involved will be better resettled, and there will definitely be no danger.

For Feng Xiaochen, these housework are just an episode in the intense work. Sending his father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law and others away, Feng Xiaochen returned to the unit, and before he entered the door, he bumped into Xue Ducang, the retired old administrative minister, and Gu Shijian, the current director of the Haidong Hoi An Extreme Manufacturing Base.

"Xiaochen, what a coincidence, Xiao Gu and I are about to look for you. Xue Ducang greeted Feng Xiaochen with a smile.

"Old Xue, why are you here, I haven't seen you for a long time. Feng Xiaochen hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Xue Ducang and greeted him.

When Feng Xiaochen was still a pink newcomer, Xue Ducang took good care of him, and later Feng Xiaochen's position continued to improve, and gradually became Xue Ducang's leader, Xue Ducang did not have the slightest contempt for the young leader in front of him, but maintained his authority very much, and gave great support to his work. A few years ago, Xue Ducang retired and left the equipment company, but the two still keep in touch often, and Feng Xiaochen would go to Xue Ducang's house to visit him during the New Year's holidays. At this time, he said that he hadn't seen Xue Ducang for a long time, but in fact, it was only a few months apart.

Ten years ago, led by Feng Xiaochen and led by the equipment company, dozens of state-owned heavy equipment enterprises and Quanfu Company and other private enterprises jointly built the Haidong Hoi An Extreme Manufacturing Base. The base is an independent legal entity, open to all shareholding enterprises, and at the same time, if there is a spare capacity, it also accepts orders from other domestic enterprises. The main task of this base is to manufacture all kinds of oversized, overweight components, which require large equipment and special sites, which cannot be owned by isolated enterprises. The completion of the extreme manufacturing base has enabled each company to have the ability to carry out extreme manufacturing at the same time, and can undertake many equipment manufacturing businesses that were unable to undertake in the past.

Before Xue Weicang was the first director of the extreme manufacturing base, Feng Xiaochen arranged for Gu Shijian, a veteran employee of the Equipment Industry Company, to take his place. In the past few years, Gu Shijian's work in the extreme base has been very good, and Feng Xiaochen has repeatedly praised him verbally.

Xue Ducang is Gu Shijian's predecessor, and it is not surprising that the two are together. But Xue Ducang said that the two of them were going to find Feng Xiaochen together, and the meaning was different, which often meant that there was something in trouble on the side of the extreme base, or something particularly important to make, Gu Shijian felt that it was not enough to report to Feng Xiaochen, so he made a special trip to find Xue Ducang from home to help.

"Come to my office and talk. Feng Xiaochen replied, and then accompanied Xue Ducang to his office. Along the way, he didn't ask about the extreme base, but pulled Xue Ducang with family routines, Gu Shijian followed them, and interjected a sentence or two from time to time to show his existence.

After entering the office, Feng Xiaochen beckoned the two of them to sit down on the sofa, and asked Meng Yang to make tea for them, then sat down on a sofa next to him, and asked with a smile: "What, is there something going on over there at the extreme base?" Lao Gu, you are really, if there is anything you can do to me yourself, Director Xue is so old, you still let him run." ”

"I don't blame him, I came by myself. Xue Ducang explained for Gu Shijian.

Gu Shijian was a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Feng, in fact, I called Director Xue just to learn something about the situation from him, but as soon as he heard it, he said that this matter must be reported to you, and said that I would wait for him to arrive and then come to see you." Alas, I'm really ashamed, it's been five years since I took over the base, and when I encounter this kind of thing, I still have to ask the old leader to take the helm. ”

"What the hell is going on, you have to ask Director Xue to come out?" Feng Xiaochen asked in surprise.

Xue Ducang glanced at Gu Shijian and motioned for him to come and introduce. Of course, Gu Shijian also knew that this was his own pot and couldn't let others carry it, so he said: "The matter is a little complicated, to put it simply, the officials of Hoi An City came to talk to me, hoping that we would move the extreme base." ”

"Move the extreme base away?" Feng Xiaochen was shocked this time. What are you kidding, the extreme base is running well, you let us move out with a word, who are you?

Of course, business relocation is not a big deal, but the difficulty of relocation is different for different enterprises. For some light industry enterprises, as long as there is a site, where production is the same. The production equipment of those garment factories is the sewing machine, as long as the new site has water and electricity, the sewing machine can be moved to the production, such a relocation does not matter.

However, for heavy industrial enterprises such as Extreme Base, it is much more difficult to relocate equipment. The 10,000-ton hydraulic press in the extreme base is dozens of meters deep just for the foundation, and if you want to move away, these foundations will be wasted, and it will cost hundreds of thousands or millions to re-build the foundation. The workshop used for welding large pressure vessels, with a headroom of several tens of meters, has no other purpose than for extreme manufacturing. If the base were to be moved, this kind of workshop would definitely have to be demolished, and the waste would be equally staggering.

Also, the oversized and ultra-high parts manufactured by the extreme base need to be transported to the port by car and train, for which the base has specially laid railways, built high-standard roads, and changed places, these facilities also have to be rebuilt, how much is this?

It can be said that an extreme manufacturing base basically has to take root wherever it falls, and it is impossible to move it easily. When Feng Xiaochen negotiated this matter with the Hoi An Municipal Government, the Hoi An Municipal Government patted his chest and promised that he would never move an inch of land in the limit base, but it had only been 10 years, and the other party actually regretted it.

"Why did they want us to move out?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Gu Shijian said with a wry smile: "Hoi An City intends to develop real estate in the area where our base is located, and our land can be said to be every inch of land. Hoi An didn't want to see such a piece of land occupied by us, so they wanted us to leave. ”

"How much money are they going to pay for this land?" Feng Xiaochen asked calmly.

Gu Shijian said: "They said that at the price at the time when the land was allocated to us, plus the interest over the years, as the price for letting us leave." ”

"Back then, we had a few hundred yuan per acre of land. Xue Ducang said, "Now an acre of land there is worth tens of thousands, an increase of 100 times." They wanted to redeem the land with the price of the year plus interest, which was too shrewd. ”

"Hehe, indeed. Feng Xiaochen sneered, and then asked, "Old Gu, the pressure exerted on you by Hoi An is not small, right? Think about it, 100 times the profit is enough to lure them to kill people and set fires." ”

Gu Shijian said: "But isn't it. At first, Hoi An only sent a deputy director of the construction committee to discuss with me, and hinted that he could give me some personal benefits. After I refused, they sent several groups of people to talk to me, one group was bigger than the other group, and finally this was a deputy mayor of Hoi An, and said that if we didn't agree, their mayor would come in person. I couldn't bear the pressure, so I asked Director Xue for advice. ”

Xue Ducang said: "What plan can I have? When I was in Hoi An in the past, I had a good relationship with the local government, and I also knew the deputy mayor that Xiao Gu said. I usually do something else, and I might be able to say hello. When it comes to such a big profit, I guess only Xiaochen can solve it. ”
