A few people were chatting, when they saw a young man with blue eyes and a high nose jump down from the dump truck in front of them. He was wearing a beige overalls of Kaki cloth www.biquge.info with a logo printed on his chest with the word HF on it, which was the initials of the Hedingsfield company. He walked up to Feng Xiaochen and the others loudly, smiled at Chen Bangpeng and said in English, "Mr. Chen, you're not here to urge our progress again, are you?"

"This is Mr. Colfer, a process engineer sent by Haifei, who is very skilled and has a good personality, and is an optimist. Wang Weilong whispered to Feng Xiaochen next to him.

"You look so young. Feng Xiaochen said with emotion. He saw that Chen Bangpeng had stepped aside, and he didn't know what to talk to Colfer. Chen Bangpeng had a look of humility on his face, as if he regarded the other party as a teacher. That Colfer also had a bit of a sense of resignation, pointing at the vehicle with his hand, and talking endlessly, not thinking of the Chinese chief engineer in front of him as a senior.

Wang Weilong sighed: "Yes, he is as old as Lao Chen's child, but technically, even Lao Chen has to admire him a little." There are many process problems that we have pondered for a long time and cannot be solved perfectly, but he came and found out the problem in a few words. Some of the solutions sound quite ordinary, such as preheating and opening the stress groove, but we just can't figure it out. ”

Feng Xiaochen said: "It's not surprising, this is not his technology alone, but the technology of the entire United States." After all, it is an industrial power, and it has accumulated one or two hundred years of experience, and this experience will spill over to every technician. ”

"When will our young people have such a level? Wang Weilong said.

"There will be a day. Feng Xiaochen replied confidently.

When the two of them said this, Chen Bangpeng and Colfer had already finished talking, he led Colfer over with a smile and said to Feng Xiaochen: "Director Feng, let me introduce you to ......"

"Director Wang has already introduced me to it. Feng Xiaochen said, he turned his head to Colfer, stretched out his hand, and said in English: "Mr. Colfer, I am Feng Xiaochen from the National Major Equipment Office of China, and I am very happy to be able to meet you here, thank you for your help for us." ”

Colfer didn't understand for a while, Wang Weilong introduced him to the situation of the Heavy Equipment Office next to him, Colfer smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Feng Xiaochen, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Feng." ”

"How is it, Mr. Colfer, are you still used to living in China?" said Feng Xiaochen, in the usual official manners.

"Very accustomed!" Colfer said with an intoxicated expression on his face, "China's environment, especially the air, is so fascinating. It's not at all like in the United States, where air pollution is everywhere. I feel very comfortable here. ”

"Uh......" Feng Xiaochen felt a little crying and laughing. In the early '80s, China's industry was still small, there were fewer cars, and the air quality was really good. At this time, the United States is in a period of transition to the post-industrial era, and the problem of air pollution is still quite serious. Colfer's words, if you put it 30 years later, some people will definitely think it is ironic, and in the 80s, this is really true.

"I think maybe we Chinese are more envious of American pollution." Feng Xiaochen said half-jokingly.

"No, no, Mr. Feng, since you are an official of the Chinese government, then I would like to seriously advise you not to pursue industrialization, the United States has taken a long detour in this regard. Thankfully, our members of Congress finally know the importance of environmental protection, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Environmental Quality Improvement Act, and the air quality in the United States has been much better in recent years than in previous years. Don't go our way. ”

Colfer said in a persuasive tone, perhaps in the habit of being an expert in Luo Ye, and he spoke with a slight condescending gesture. Feng Xiaochen didn't care about this with him, he could feel that Colfer did not mean anything when he said this, on the contrary, he still sincerely hoped that China would not follow the old path of the United States, which should be regarded as a kind of kindness.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Coulfer, for your advice, we will try to avoid environmental pollution. Feng Xiaochen pretended to be sincere and said, but he was somewhat disapproving.

A full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, which is exactly Colfer's mentality. The United States is a developed industrial country, and the focus of everyone's attention is naturally on the environment. And as an economically backward country, China's economic development is the top priority, so who cares about pollution?

After the passage of time, what can you say about "avoid the detour of polluting first and then remediation", but in fact, apart from this detour, there has never been any other shortcut on the earth?

Feng Xiaochen didn't bother to argue with Colfer on this topic, he could see that Colfer was a new human who grew up in a privileged environment, and he never knew what hard work was, and explaining to him that China's industrialization process was completely like playing the piano to the cow.

Colfer didn't notice Feng Xiaochen's perfunctory, he was very happy to see Feng Xiaochen accept his words, and his eyebrows danced more and more: "In addition to the air, what I like the most is your Chinese food." I sell cakes, and Chinese food is so delicious, I never knew there were so many ways to make food. Dear Feng, do you know that when I ate the boiled beef made by my aunt in the cafeteria, I cried, do you know why?"

"Isn't it too spicy?" Feng Xiaochen asked with a smile.

"Of course, spicy is one aspect, but I'm not exactly crying because of spicy. I think it's so unfilial that I'm eating such a delicious Chinese meal here alone, and my parents, and my grandparents, have never eaten such a delicious meal in their lives!" Colfer said with an exaggerated expression.

Chen Bangpeng and Wang Weilong also knew English, and when they heard Colver's words, they were stunned for a while, not understanding what they meant. When they understood, both of them were dumbfounded, that is, because Colfer was a foreigner, it was not convenient for them to joke, otherwise they would have to make a few jokes.

Nima, you live in a developed country, live in a big bungalow, use a big color TV, every household has a car, and you will still be hungry for our pot of boiled beef, and you are so sad that you cry because your parents didn't eat it, isn't this a special meow?

Feng Xiaochen knew that Colfer's words were true, the American personality was quite flamboyant, and his mind was relatively simple, often saying whatever came to mind, and he was not worried about being laughed at by others. They also know that no matter how naïve they behave, no one will laugh at them because they are from the United States.

Only when the country is strong can the people be dignified. In the early years, when Chinese went abroad to study and investigate, they had to be careful in their every move, and when they went to a Western restaurant to have a meal, they also had to see whether others were holding a fork in their left hand or a fork in their right hand, for fear that they would not do well in any place and be looked down upon by others.

However, as China's national strength has grown, national self-confidence has gradually improved. In later generations, Chinese people who travel abroad no longer deliberately pay attention to Western customs, and I am willing to use which hand to hold a fork and which hand to hold a knife, it is your business? When foreigners come to China to eat, there are a few people who know how to use chopsticks, and we don't laugh at them?

"Mr. Colfer, haven't you ever thought about going to the United States to open a Chinese restaurant?" Feng Xiaochen said with a smile, "I think this will be more lucrative than your current job." ”

"Going to the United States to open a Chinese restaurant?" Colfer was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think seriously for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Feng, your suggestion is really great. But how long will it take to learn how to cook these Chinese dishes? I can only stay in China for another month, and now it's too late to start learning, right?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "You can hire the aunt of Luo Ye Canteen to be the chef, why do you want to learn it yourself? I think she will definitely be happy to accept your invitation." ”

"Is that so?" Colfer turned to ask Chen Bangpeng, obviously a little tempted.

"Director Feng is joking with you. Chen Bangpeng said helplessly, "Even if she is willing to go to the United States with you, the country will not let her out, how difficult it is to go abroad now." ”

Colfer was a little disappointed, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I see, you must be worried that Chinese cooking will be learned by the Americans, right? I think your behavior of blocking technology is very inconsistent with the international trend." ”

"This ...... I'm afraid that's not what it means. Wang Weilong was also speechless, this American's way of thinking is really not the same as the Chinese.

Finally sent Colfer away, Wang Weilong turned his head and glared at Feng Xiaochen, and said, "Xiao Feng, don't make this kind of joke, don't you know that this Colfer will be taken seriously?"

"Isn't that really bad? Your canteen aunt went abroad to become a cook, and she could still earn foreign exchange for the country. Feng Xiaochen said with a smile.

"How is this possible!" Wang Weilong said, but why is it impossible, he can't say why.

In the following days, Feng Xiaochen carefully inspected the production situation of Luo Ye, talked with Luo Ye's leadership, engineers and ordinary workers, and evaluated Luo Ye's introduction of foreign technology and its digestion and absorption. Overall, the effect of this round of technology introduction is very optimistic, Haifei has some sincerity in exporting technology, and the technical personnel sent are also very friendly, and they have no reservations when teaching technology, and sometimes the technology introduced is even beyond the scope of the agreement between the two parties, which has benefited the Chinese side a lot.

Luo Ye's leadership discussed Feng Xiaochen's requirements, and with full consideration of its own strength, formulated a quality assurance plan to provide electric wheel dump trucks to Honghedu Copper Mine, made commitments to various indicators, and stipulated a compensation plan for quality problems.

With Luo Ye's plan, Feng Xiaochen set off for Huxi Province, preparing to meet Zou Bingzheng, who everyone felt scratching his head.
