In the early morning of the next day, Gu Biao was woken up by a ringing phone.

It was just over 3 o'clock in the morning and it was just outrageous, hypotensive syndrome and getting out of breath.

Gu Biao rubbed his brain and staggered to the telephone.

This must be a call from China, so there is such a strange time difference.

"I'm looking for Mr. Gu Ao. The first sentence of the voice on the other side seemed a little restrained.

"I am. Gu Biao scratched his hair.

Then the other party immediately relaxed: "Oh, Xiao Gu, my old bag." Didn't disturb your rest. I have an urgent matter to discuss with you, and I also know that you have a time difference, but no matter how late the leader is off work, I can't report to work. ”

Gu Biao sobered up for two seconds and realized that it was Director Bao.

"Uncle Bao, you say - in fact, if you call this number next time, it is best to call in the morning from your side, maybe I haven't slept yet. It's West Time, three hours behind Eastern, and I'm just over 3 a.m. ”

Director Bao on the opposite side choked slightly, a little embarrassed.

Director Bao also knows a little about foreign affairs, but because he has dealt with Yankees in China before, he has spent many years on Watsangton's politicians and even Wall Street's corporate giants, so he is used to a 12-hour time difference in his head.

Now in the first year of dealing with the emerging giants of Silicon Valley, I forgot to consider that not all Watson in the United States is used.

He asked Gu Biao's number in California, and he called directly, thinking that he was polite enough to catch Gu Biao getting up at 6 o'clock, but who knew that it was 3 o'clock in the middle of the night.

"I'm sorry about that, pay attention later. ”

"It's okay, you're the leader, I'll mention it casually. ”

Director Bao didn't take a stand at all: "You are now suspended from work to study with Kissinger, what kind of leadership are you talking about, let's get down to business: the day before yesterday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs forwarded an application letter from the embassy in the United States to our ministry." It's all big companies like Motorola and Texas Instruments, and they want to follow ...... Tiankun Media held the world's first industry technical standard formulation meeting of the EMC Society Electromagnetic Compatibility Branch in China. You must have done something about this, right?"

Gu Biao: "Actually, I just happened to have a meeting, it was Teacher Han Tinghan, who went out to start a business in the original department, and persuaded me to suggest that those colleagues from large American companies go to China for a meeting, saying that this is also a political achievement." By the way, her Hanle Electronics is also a participating unit.

However, I really can't influence the Americans to decide which city in China to open into, and I can't do anything about it. By the way, which city do they want to open into? I don't even know yet, but I just gave them a little introduction to the situation, and after they learned about the situation in China, they discussed it behind closed doors, and I couldn't even interject. ”

Director Bao listened, because of the information asymmetry, but he did not have the slightest doubt: "So that's the case, then I'll tell you now that the intention of those American businessmen is to hold a seminar in Shanghai and Jiang to respect the Hong Kong-funded enterprises as the initiators."

Your time ...... Are you free? Is Professor Kissinger busy with classes? If you take a leave of absence or something, it won't have a bad international impact, right?"

Director Bao's last two sentences were unexpectedly unconfident. Although Gu Biao used to be his subordinate, he is now a student of Kissinger after all. That great god moved out, and now no one in China dares to despise anyone who mixes officialdom.

When Gu Biao heard this, he secretly laughed in his heart: "If you have something, just say it, in fact, I forgot to tell you that the professor has recently made special adjustments to my studies - he was supposed to retire next year, and in order to bring me to graduation, he is willing to delay his retirement for half a year." Therefore, if I want to make a more relaxed topic, let me participate in his monograph "On China", as long as the manuscript is delivered on time, it is no problem to ask for leave. ”

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs actually already knows the content of Gu Wei's doctoral degree topic, because he has asked for instructions before.

But the Ministry of Electronics Industry is a different system, and obviously did not care about it. At this moment, Gu Biao mentioned it for the first time, and Director Bao only knew.

"Professor Kissinger specially postponed his retirement for half a year in order to take you?" Director Bao was in awe, and his upper and lower teeth were faked, "That's ...... If it's really convenient, you can take the time to come back and report to the minister and me in the near future, so that we can do the reception and preparation for the international academic conference. ”

"No problem, I'll go back to China in two days!" Gu Biao pretended to hesitate for a moment before agreeing.

Plan pass.

In the conversation just now, the reason why Gu Biao pushed Han Ting to the front desk to block the gun was not to share his prestige and pretend that he couldn't influence the decision-making of Motorola/Deyi/Sony, in order to not take responsibility and hatred-

In the 80s, the local protection of major cities in China was very strong, and the officials of the feudal territory wanted to benefit the local area. This kind of show that the world's major mobile electronic equipment giants gather together and open the International Technical Standards Society is definitely going to kill the red eye and grab the head.

Although this is not a direct investment attraction, in case any electronics giant thinks that the city has a good environment, cheap manpower, land and a university and talent pool, and then get a little cooperation...... It's just inexhaustible.

Maybe the country didn't plan to open some cities as the second batch of separately planned cities, but I heard that so many giant foreign businessmen are interesting, and the policies can be fine-tuned.

If this matter is finally made public to the public, it will be said that Gu Biao made the decision, although the provincial and municipal leaders who benefited will admit Gu Ao's great favor, but other competitors will be offended.

There's no need to pull hatred.

It's better to say to the outside world that it was decided by the foreigners, and when it's really time to do it, I will close the door and tell the people in the beneficiary places: This matter is actually decided by the brother to help the foreigners.

Then the favor is good, Gu Biao accepts it himself, and the hatred value is let the foreign adult carry it (no one dares to hate the foreign adult)

When she hung up the phone, Han Ting had actually woken up and took a blanket to put on him.

Gu Biao shook the other party's hand: "I'll take you around Silicon Valley during the day and visit it." You've been busy all the time you've been in San Francisco. Late flights back home. ”

"I can do it, be careful yourself, don't get tired. ”

……

A day and a half later, Gu Biao went to the capital first, and the first one met Director Bao.

"Yo, Director Gu is back. ”

"Xiao Gu, is the United States back?"

Before he walked to Director Bao's office, as soon as he entered the building, he was surrounded by many former colleagues along the way, many of whom were one or even two levels higher than him. But neither the former colleagues of the deputy hall nor the main hall held up in front of him.

As the only Chinese graduate student on the planet who followed the former Secretary of State to study international relations, the moment he got his doctorate, as long as Gu Biao wanted to come back to be an official, it was necessary to be promoted to the deputy hall in an instant. (It's a pity that he makes too much money, and his influence can't be recovered, so he can't go ashore)

Moreover, these people seem to have gotten some rumors and know how much good the minister's political achievements have been brought by Gu Biao's return this time.

"Eh, okay, Wu Ju is good, by the way, what about Qin Guogang and Qin Ju? Why didn't he see him, wasn't he with you originally?"

When the person he accosted heard this question, he also put on a mysterious expression: "Don't you know? Old Qin Ming has risen in the dark, ostensibly giving an explanation to the British, and he went down last month, but in the past two days, he has gone to XX Heavy Industry to be the factory director, the main hall." ”

Gu Biao suddenly realized.

Finally getting rid of these people, Gu Biao walked into Director Bao's office.

"Director, I'm back. ”

Director Bao's face was full of spring breeze: "Are you back? The minister asked me three times in the morning, let's go, go directly to the minister to report." ”

As he spoke, Director Bao pulled Gu Biao's sleeve and went out.

When I arrived at the main master's place, I was inevitably praised and shook hands fiercely.

"Xiao Gu, I'll just say that you are a capable person, no matter what position you are in, you always have to get some big news with earth-shattering motives. I haven't seen you for three months, and I've made such a big move. It's not easy to read like this with Kissinger. ”

"Minister, you have a good reputation, I am at the right time, at the right time. As you know, I used to have a little side hustle and was a little interested in electronics. Since the ministry adjusted its work, I am full of energy, and I think every day about how to contribute to our electronics business. Gu Biao didn't want money, and poured out like boiling water.

"I believe that it is hypocritical for others to say this, and if you say so, it is true. Come, sit down and talk......"

(Some of the following omitted from the senior report)

“…… In short, this is the case, this academic conference is done well, it will be of great benefit to China's industrial development and absorb foreign advanced technology, and it can also win the first springboard for the country to compete for the right to formulate international electronic science and technology standards. ”

Gu Biao finally summed it up.

In the final stage of his report, he emphasized the issue of "the right to speak on the formulation of international technical standards", well, it is roughly similar to the "Huawei Qualcomm voting dispute" that the world will understand, but in terms of severity, the communication coding rules must be universal, so the right to formulate is particularly valuable. Other electronic technical standards are not necessarily life or death, so they are not so serious and valuable.

But in any case, he also made the minister and Director Bao more far-sighted - because in 82 years, even the top level of the department rarely paid attention to the problem of "the right to speak in the formulation of international technical standards", and everyone was worried about how to swallow the industrial transfer of developed countries, and did not have time to think so far.

"It turns out that this matter has such a great extra significance, which I didn't expect at first......" the minister groaned with his chin twisted, "Then we have to do a good job of hosting and hosting." Xiao Gu, the ministry will not come forward directly in this matter, because after all, you also said that foreigners are more accustomed to industry associations taking the lead, and do not like government involvement.

This time, since foreigners want to be in Hujiang, it will be Hujiang. I'll look for the above and ask for some instructions, and approve some documents. If the state doesn't pay for it, you will rely on the Hong Kong-funded participating units to raise funds, and if you need the cooperation of the local government, we will rely on documents to solve it. Other surrounding cities have to undertake some reception and diversion work, as long as it is done according to the laws of the economy, it will not be difficult for you. ”

"Rest assured, Minister, you will not fail in your mission. ”

Of course, Gu Biao can afford the entertainment expenses and travel expenses for academic conferences. But what he lacks is the righteous name of being fully charged at home. This kind of thing, if the Ministry of Electronics Industry comes forward to endorse and promises to hand over relevant matters to him through documents, he can do it.

As for the local level, there are not many people who need to cooperate, anyway, when foreign businessmen come to the meeting, the money that should be given must be given. At most, you can take the documents and money, and let the local government make some rectifications to the tourism reception facilities/hardware in advance.

If there is no red-headed document, even if he takes the money to ask the local government to rectify the hotel, entertainment and leisure places, the local government may not be willing to listen.

After all, these are all rotten capital, pay attention to the way of life, even if the capitalists give money to operate, they must also consider the impact.
