Chapter 237: It's a double reed

Behind every high-sounding reason, there is a whole lot of ulterior selfishness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Pan Weihua is not wrong about one thing, that is, people are self-motivated. This kind of person who is not self-interested and dedicated to the public cannot be said to be absent, but it definitely belongs to the category of few and few. The so-called good person should be the kind of person who can control his self-interest within a certain range, and take into account or even consider the interests of others while benefiting himself. And the so-called bad people are those who are too self-interested to harm others and benefit themselves.

When government officials give instructions, they will call on everyone to forget their selfishness and act in the interests of the country. However, when formulating policies, the interests of all parties must be fully taken into account. If a policy does not consider balancing interests, but blindly demands sacrifices from subordinates, such a policy cannot be implemented.

Specific to the introduction of large fertilizer equipment, there are many local interests to consider. The sooner the large chemical fertilizer is put into production, it can provide high-quality and sufficient fertilizer for local agriculture, and the enterprise itself can also make huge profits, which can become the achievements of local officials, and it is impossible for officials not to care. And further down, there are various private benefits enjoyed in the process of introduction, such as the opportunity to go abroad, the opportunity to buy high-end cars, and the opportunity to receive gifts from foreign guests. These are all unspoken rules in the introduction project, and the leaders above are not ignorant, but turn a blind eye, after all, there are no fish when the water is clear.

The people in this room are all with practical work experience, and even the boastful Pan Weihua is also a person who understands the ideas of the grassroots. No one thinks that it is wrong for the grassroots to have these selfish distractions, if they can't get any benefits, why do people work so hard?

Feng Xiaochen is probably the one who knows the least about these situations, because his experience is mainly from later generations. Officials in later generations will not be as enthusiastic about going abroad as they are now, and some officials in foreign trade departments even regard going abroad as a burden, and it is not a pleasant thing to be in the sky for half of the year.

"I don't think it's possible to persuade Director Zheng or Binhai Province to give up the idea of importing Japanese equipment in its entirety, whether it's public or private. Feng Xiaochen concluded.

"That's true. Rao Zhitao nodded in agreement.

Feng Xiaochen continued: "However, the decision to introduce technology to form China's own large-scale fertilizer equipment manufacturing capacity was issued by the central government. Even if we don't talk about the requirements of the central government, as far as a country as big as ours is concerned, it is not possible to hold major equipment in our own hands, after all. ”

"I don't agree with Director Feng's words. Pan Weihua interjected, "As far as I know, even in the United States, people do not have to master all the technologies themselves, but each has its own strengths and makes up for its own shortcomings through international cooperation." ”

"Director Pan, you are talking about the United States, and we are China. Capitalist countries can communicate with each other, we are socialist countries, we don't have our own technology, what if people get stuck in our necks?" Niu Ke'an reminded.

Pan Weihua smiled a little sneeringly: "Director Niu, is your thinking too leftist? Now that we have established diplomatic relations with the United States, when did the equipment we imported from capitalist countries get stuck in our necks? On the contrary, the Soviet Union, which is also a socialist country, is blockading us, and we have suffered losses in the past because we have been too ideological. ”

"......" Niu Ke'an was speechless, Pan Weihua really couldn't refute what he said. Since the rapprochement of Sino-US relations, China has obtained a lot of industrial equipment from the Western world, and it is also the "honeymoon period" of Sino-US relations.

Feng Xiaochen smiled slightly and said, "What Director Pan said is right, but how do you explain Batumi?"

The official name of Batumi is the "Coordinating Committee for Export Management", which is an unofficial international organization established in 1949 led by the United States.

The purpose of Batumi is to restrict the export of strategic materials and high technology from the developed industrial countries of the West to the socialist countries, and the products included in the embargo list include not only military weapons and equipment, but also cutting-edge technology and some rare materials, and the number of products included in the embargo list is as much as 10,000.

China has always been on the Batumi embargo list, and after the easing of Sino-US relations in recent years, the United States began to allow the export of some high-tech products to China, but only reduced the items on the Batumi list, and did not completely cancel them. China once hoped to obtain some high-performance computers, CNC machine tools and other equipment from the West, but it failed to do so because of Batumi.

Hearing Feng Xiaochen talk about Batumi, Pan Weihua's face was a little ugly. He is comfortable in front of those old men, and he has often been able to use some new ideas to make people speechless, but here in Feng Xiaochen, he has no upper hand at all, but is restrained everywhere.

"Director Feng, what you are talking about is, after all, a historical issue. In the past, our country was engaged in leftism, and people were wary of us. Now that we have reformed and opened up and integrated into the international community, I believe that sooner or later Batumi's restrictions on China will be lifted. Pan Weihua said.

Feng Xiaochen said: "I also think that Batumi will be canceled sooner or later, but it does not mean that the technological blockade of China by the West will end." Now, we are allies with the United States and share the common goal of guarding against the Soviet Union, so the United States is willing to provide some support to China to help China become strong so that it can have the strength to counterbalance the Soviet Union. But if one day, the Soviet Union falls, China rises, and China becomes the biggest competitor of the United States, will the United States still support China like this?"

"Director Feng, you are too naΓ―ve, the decline of the Soviet Union and the rise of China, I am afraid it will be 50 years from now, right?" Pan Weihua said disdainfully.

Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "Director Pan, we can make a bet that all the leaders here can be a witness." I believe that the USSR will decline in 10 years at most, becoming a second-rate country seeking to protect itself. China, on the other hand, will become America's biggest competitor within 20 years at most. Do you dare to bet with me?"

"What's not to dare to do?" Pan Weihua smiled confidently, "It's 20 years, we can all see it." ”

Alas, the victory is not martial.

Feng Xiaochen sighed in his heart.

If he were not a time-traveler, standing at this point in time in 1982, I am afraid he would not have believed the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of China in the future. At this time, Chinese officials came to Japan and felt that everything was new and everything was so advanced that it made people despair, who would have thought that China would have a day when its GDP would surpass that of Japan?

At that time, Toshiba was simply a monument in the minds of the Chinese people. Who would have thought that more than 30 years later, it would be teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Its once-glorious white goods business has long since fallen to China, and the Chinese company that bought it is just getting started, and it is so weak that people feel vulnerable.

"That's a long way off. Seeing that everyone was habitually crooked again, Wang Shicheng had to come out to correct the deviation, "The development of major equipment is the state's policy, and we must adhere to it." It is not pleasant to be controlled by others, and our generation has tasted this taste, which is why the central leadership will make such a major decision. Xiao Feng, you still have to talk about it, since you think that we can't overturn the demands of Binhai Province, how can we solve the problem of introducing technology?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "I think the fight between Director Zheng and Director Deng is a good opportunity. When I first heard the news, I thought it was a double reed that the leaders had made the two of them sing. ”

"Double reeds?" Wang Shicheng thought to himself, "Tell me, why did it become a double reed?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "We intend to introduce large fertilizer equipment, which Qiangui Wuzhi sees very clearly. We are a big agricultural country and we are extremely short of chemical fertilizers, and the Japanese can completely stick our necks on this issue. They know that even if they don't provide us with technology, but just sell equipment, we have to pinch our noses and admit it. In this way, it is difficult to realize the idea that we want to acquire technology by introducing equipment. ”

"Makes sense. Rao Zhitao said, "Our country's idea is to buy equipment and introduce technology at the same time. But if we master these technologies, the Japanese will not be able to sell their equipment, so they will definitely not want to sell technology. Now they find that we are in a hurry to get big fertilizer equipment, which means that we have shortcomings in their hands, and we are very passive when negotiating. ”

Feng Xiaochen nodded: "What Director Rao means is exactly what I want to say." These days, Qiangui Wuzhi seems to be accompanying us on a tour, but in fact, he has been observing our movements. Director Zheng also inadvertently revealed to him the idea of introducing equipment in its entirety, which made them see our hole cards. ”

"What's inadvertent, he just did it on purpose!" Rao Zhitao said.

Feng Xiaochen smiled, if he didn't take this stubble, of course he could see that Zheng Bin was deliberately letting off steam, but it was just inconvenient for him to say this. He turned his head to Wang Shicheng and said: "The fight between Director Zheng and Director Deng has conveyed a new message to Qiangui Wuzhi, that is, there is a contradiction within us, and this contradiction is still very intense. In the next step, as long as the leaders give Director Deng some support, even if it is only superficial support, it will make Qiangui Wuzhi feel that it is not easy to simply sell equipment, and if you don't bring some technology transfer, this business may not be done. ”

"Wonderful!" Wang Shicheng exclaimed, "We can clearly say to Qiangui Wuzhi that the pressure on the machinery department is very great, and if they refuse to transfer technology, we will not be able to introduce equipment." Qiangui Wuzhi wanted to make this business, and in the face of such pressure, he would definitely have to compromise. ”

"In this way, we turn a bad thing into a good thing. Niu Ke'an said with a smile.

Wang Shicheng also smiled and said: "Lao Niu, what do you say, this matter is not a bad thing from the beginning, didn't Xiao Feng say it, this is a double reed." ”
