At the end of a busy day, everyone in the delegation was tired and had a dry mouth. The three members of the refurbishment office are mainly responsible for answering technical and cooperation questions, designing solutions for each country's needs, evaluating costs, and so on. Zhang Heping and Feng Fei were also arrested, helping to pick them up and send them to talk about international friendship with Uncle Hei and so on.

Zhang Heping is a little better, he was originally a master who sees people and talks about ghosts, and it is his housekeeping skill to cheat and deceive. Feng Fei is bitter, he is introverted by nature, and he is not good at dealing with people, but he is worried that he is not enthusiastic enough and delays the major events of the country, so he can only force himself to accompany others with a smile, and at night, he only feels that the muscles on his face are stiff. When everyone gathered in Wu Shican's room for a meeting, Feng Fei covered a hot towel on his face, which looked quite funny.

"Only on the situation negotiated today, at least five countries have clearly expressed their desire to introduce our equipment, three of which are in need of fertilizer equipment, one is thermal power equipment, one is hydropower equipment, if these intentions can be reached, this is almost 70 million contracts, and it is dollars!"

Wu Shican's voice was hoarse, but the smile on his face was so bright.

"Congratulations!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "Is this a good start?"

"It's definitely off to a good start, with more than $70 million in export contracts, and it's almost obsolete technology, it's a beautiful thing. Lao Zhang, let me tell you, as for the set of fertilizer plant equipment that Director Wu talked about with the Minister of Industry of Tajikistan today, he said that he had a seven-fold discount with others, and I almost didn't laugh at that time. The price he quoted, and two more seven-percent discounts can't reach our cost, which is too tricky. Wang Genji was overjoyed to expose the fierce news.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Even if you get three or seven discounts, it's cheap." At that time, the main engine and several most important pressure vessels were built by the Xinyang Second Chemical Machine, but as a result, the state compressed the infrastructure and the project was discontinued, and Deng Zongbai and others of Xinyang Second Chemical Machinery were anxious. If Ta Mei is willing to ask for it, Lao Deng estimates that he will have to invite Director Wu to drink wine for a month. ”

Feng Fei said in a slurred voice: "Xiaochen, isn't it appropriate for us to do this? The country has always advocated supporting Africa, how can we take the backlog of products and sell them to others at several times the price?"

"Uh, this ......" Wu Shican's old face also turned a little red, he, like Feng Fei, belongs to the older generation, has been educated by the state for many years, and believes in the principle of being kind to others. This time he came to Africa to sell equipment, and he was very much in favor of it, but Feng Xiaochen asked him to quote the price to such a high level, so he was a little hesitant. He originally thought that the price he quoted would make the other party unhappy, and he had the psychology of bargaining with the other party, but who thought that the other party would think that these things were very cheap, and kept asking him if he had suffered a loss, which made his three views very messy.

Wang Genji is a second ancestor, and he never feels that there is anything wrong with taking advantage of others, and he has been messing with Feng Xiaochen for a few years, and this problem has worsened a little. He said disdainfully: "Lao Wu, you just report your price in a down-to-earth manner, haven't you seen that people are still grateful to us? This thing is not worth much in us, but it is very valuable in Africa, and the price we quote now is already reported to a lower place." If you don't double the price in Western countries, people will be embarrassed to say that they are imperialists. ”

"However, when we purchase equipment from Western countries, people don't offer such prices. Wu Shican said, "Let's just say that the 300,000 tons of large fertilizer equipment we imported from Japan is more than 40 million US dollars." I have estimated that if we can achieve localization, the cost of a set of 300,000 tons of equipment will be nearly 30 million US dollars. Considering the higher labor costs in Japan, as well as management costs, this price is very reasonable. ”

"It's because we can make it. Feng Xiaochen said leisurely, "The industrial foundation we have spent more than 30 years laying is incomparable to other developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America." Although we can't get 300,000 tons of equipment, we can build 50,000 tons, and we also understand the laws of industry, and the Japanese dare not quote too high a price to us. If they dare to quote a sky-high price, we won't import it and do it ourselves, even if the quality is a little worse and the performance is not as good as the Japanese, it is better than being slaughtered by them.

But African countries are different, they don't have the technology, they can't build it themselves, and they also lack industrial talents, and they don't understand things like cost and cost. So Westerners can safely and boldly shear their wool. ”

"In the end, if you know it, people won't dare to embarrass you. Zhang Heping interjected, "I have also done equipment procurement, of course, it is not your kind of industrial equipment, but the equipment in our system." But if we can't make it in China, people will set a sky-high price, do you like it or not. When we can build it, even if the level is worse than theirs, they will quickly reduce the price. ”

Feng Fei was also inspired by this, and he said: "Hearing Director Zhang say this, I remembered one thing. Our factory has bought a French testing equipment, which has a partition in it, which is made of special metal, and is said to be able to prevent electromagnetic interference or something. Later, it was worn, and we asked the manufacturer to give us another piece, and the price was 20,000 francs, without bargaining. ”

"What happened later?" Feng Xiaochen asked with interest.

"Later, we found a brother unit engaged in materials and helped make a piece, that is, a thousand yuan yuan, which can also be used when replaced, and the accuracy and sensitivity of the equipment have not changed. Feng Fei replied.

"A thousand dollars, they actually reported 20,000 francs, which is much darker than ours. Wu Shican said with emotion.

"And that's not all. Feng Fei said, "Later, the comrades in our testing room went to France for a meeting and talked to the technicians of that company about it, guess what they said?"

"What do you mean?" everyone asked.

Feng Fei said: "People say, in fact, it doesn't matter if you want that board or not. ”

“……”

Everyone was dumbfounded, what is this special meow! Since it is a board that can be asked or not, you have 20,000 francs for a mouth, isn't this a fool?

"So Xiao Feng was right just now, if we don't know it, we will have to be fooled. Wu Shican concluded.

Wang Genji said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered, didn't that Professor Gao say that global collaboration? I should tell him the story that Feng Gong said, and see what he thinks." ”

"What can he think?" Wu Shican said, "He is the kind of person who has no backbone, foreigners' things are good, and our own things are dirty." But he doesn't want to think about it, without these soil things, we can only be like these African countries, stretching our necks and waiting for others to cut down, and if we can meet a seller like us in China, they all think that they have met a savior. ”

At this point, he smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head. He felt that he had really been brainwashed by Feng Xiaochen, and originally thought that it was a hurtful thing to quote a high price to African countries, but he became at ease in a blink of an eye, and even had some pride. No, after I go back to this matter, I still have to reflect it to the organization, and see what the organizational considerations are, and I can't be led astray by these young people.

Hearing everyone talk about Gao Lei, Zhang Heping hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile: "There is a situation, it was still a bit secret, but I looked at it, and everyone is not the kind of person who will leak secrets, so I just said it." ”

"Director Zhang, if it's not appropriate for us to know, there is no need to say it. Wu Shican reminded.

Zhang Heping waved his hand and said, "I don't have to hide it from you, in fact, there will be internal documents sent down soon, and several of you are qualified to read the documents." What I want to say is that, according to the information we have systematically obtained, some Western countries are co-opting and corrupting some of our cadres in a targeted manner, so that they can become the spokesmen of Western forces in our country. Some of these cadres are in the departments of authority and can influence the specific decision-making of the state. Some of them are only engaged in journalism, academic research, etc., but they can also influence our perceptions and make us unconsciously follow the path that the West has charted for us. Now that the state has taken note of the situation, there may be some action to be taken. ”

Wang Genji said: "I also heard our old man say about this matter, it seems that the West has a special word for this kind of person, called Trojan horse." ”

"In the past, we talked about the fifth column, that's what we mean, right?" Feng Fei said.

"That's pretty much what it means. Zhang Heping said, "Now the whole situation of the struggle is very complicated, some people are being co-opted by the enemy, they are deliberately sabotage, and some people are brainwashed by the other party, they think they are good-intentioned, but in fact they are doing bad things." It's really hard to distinguish between these two types of people. ”

"Gao Lei should belong to the latter category. Feng Xiaochen commented.

"How do you know?" asked Wang Genji.

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "He doesn't have that IQ. ”

"Hahahaha......" Everyone laughed together, Feng Xiaochen's evaluation is more damaged than saying that Gao Lei is the previous kind of person. Although people are bad people, they are still bad and wise, Feng Xiaochen directly said that Gao Lei is a stupid person, for a scholar, what is more lethal than a stupid evaluation?

"Well, it's all a joke. What we are talking about today, don't spread it out. Let's rest early, I guess we'll all be busy these days. Wu Shican said to everyone.
