Chapter 414: Let Our Friendship Last Forever
"So, Zhong Vasili, while I still have three days to leave the capital, if there is anything I need to do, I am very happy to serve!" Thinking of this, Ivanov put away his smile and showed in a serious tone that he was not polite or joking to Zhong Bai.
"Speaking of which, I really need Mr. Ivanov's help on an important matter!" Zhong Bai also put away his smile and said solemnly: "This is not just my personal matter, but a major event related to the mutual support and re-innovation of friendship between the industrial mouths of China and the Soviet Union!" If this is done well, I believe that Mr. Ivanov will become an ambassador from deputy ambassador in the near future! ”
"Oh? Please let me know now! As soon as he heard Zhong Bai raise the tone of the question so high, and directly named this matter and his own promotion, Ivanov really didn't even dare to blink his eyes, he just wanted to listen to what the other party was talking about?
Zhong Bai immediately told Ivanov about the current dilemma of the single hydraulic support roof method, but after listening to it, the other party was obviously confused.
"Zhong Vasily, I understand what you said very clearly, but ......" Ivanov had a question mark on his face: "What role can I play in this matter?" At best, it is just a matter of choosing an underground mining reform plan for your Ministry of Industry of China, or your Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry. ”
Zhong Bai immediately explained: "Of course there is, and it has a great effect!" Do you know which country's technology is the alternative I just told you, that is, the automatic drilling and blasting system that the ministry is more inclined to use? ”
"Which country?"
"It's MD! It's the empire of Western capital on the other side of the Pacific! They want to successfully sell MD's technology to us Huaguo at a high price through this competition, and try to firmly control this piece in their hands for a long time in the future! Zhong Bai's tone suddenly became indignant: "Although we have differences in some opinions between China and the Soviet Union, we are all members of SHZY's family, and we are still Vasily!" MD's use of technology to engage in aggression is destined to be despicable! ”
"You're right, Vasily Chung! All those MD people are thinking about all day long is how to subvert our SHZY camp, they are all wolves in sheep's clothing! Obviously, Ivanov was immediately ignited by the news and shouted indignantly.
When Zhong Bai saw the other party's reaction, his heart immediately blossomed!
People say that the hostility between the two camps of the Soviet Union during the Cold War was not ordinarily severe, but now it seems that the history books are honest and do not deceive me.
He only mentioned it like this, and before he could get to the specific content of the two plans, Ivanov immediately expressed his strong anger as a Soviet foreign affairs officer at the pervasive invasion of the MD of the SHZY camp!
"Then you say, what do you need me to do?" Ivanov was indignant, but he did not forget to remind Zhong Bai.
"The choice of this option has not yet been finalized, but they clearly favor MD's automatic drill and blast system. One of the most important concerns is ......"
Zhong Bai analyzed seriously: "I have clearly told you just now that up to now, every DWX hydraulic strut of all models has been produced in your Soviet Ukraine. And you should also know that now China and the Soviet Union are very sensitive to this kind of industrial equipment transaction. And my friend Yu Dongfeng, his Baifeng Trading Company will be a third-party company to import the batch of DWX hydraulic pillars from Ukraine to China, this behavior is not difficult on the basis of the gradual improvement of relations between China and the Soviet Union, but the current relationship between our China and your Soviet Union has not yet reached the point of direct export, I am afraid that Baifeng Trading Company will suffer a lot when importing! ”
"So I hope that Mr. Ivanov, before leaving, can explain to our Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs as much as possible that this time the DWX hydraulic strut import, in fact, the core technology was invented by our Chinese, and the Ukrainian side is just an OEM, and the basis of its cooperation is from the last free donation of Baifeng Trading Company to Kharkiv City, which is a single event, not a landmark event that changes the direction of the wind!"
Of course, Zhong Bai knew better than anyone that two years later, relations between China and the Soviet Union finally normalized for the first time since the sixties.
However, before that, this behavior was indeed extremely sensitive, and it came too early, if there was no reasonable explanation, it was very easy to arouse the suspicion of the MD, so as to make things difficult for Huaguo on many other projects that had already been cooperated, and that situation was what Zhong Bai did not want to see.
In the 80s at the beginning of China's reform and development, if Zhong Bai delayed the development of the whole country because of his own small underground mining plan, then he would not be a hero of industrial development, but a sinner of the whole country, and this result was certainly not what Zhong Bai wanted to see!
Therefore, a reasonable and necessary reason must be put on the table, and Ivanov took the initiative to send a note to the Chinese foreign affairs department to explain that it was the best choice!
"Hiss......" Ivanov listened to Zhong Bai say such a big analysis, and finally came back to his senses, and couldn't help but gasp.
His first feeling was, where is this kid some kind of small section chief of the Industrial Department?
This world view, overall situation, and foreign affairs concept, which grasps the accuracy of the current trade transfer of industrial products and technology between MD, the Soviet Union, and China, is more than enough for you to make him an ambassador to the outside world!
Of course, Ivanov recalled that from the point of view of the Soviet Union, Zhong Bai's approach was also very necessary.
Just as the other side said, in such a delicate international situation of several major countries, a small incident is very likely to be widely interpreted by the outside world.
If you can come forward and explain to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China as a person who has experienced this incident, it will not only reduce the risk of misunderstanding from the outside world, but also properly let the industrial departments of China and the Soviet Union clearly understand that in fact, the export (import) of DWX hydraulic strut this time is not a technology transfer, but a simple isolated incident commissioned by a Chinese company named Baifeng Trading Co., Ltd., which will not cause any contradictions.
And after doing this well, it is obviously a great achievement!
And Zhong Bai's vision of "changing from deputy ambassador to ambassador in the future" is not so unattainable!
"I understand exactly what you're asking for, Vasily Chung." Ivanov resolutely stretched out his right hand, held it tightly with this young Chinese man who was more than ten years younger than himself, and said firmly: "Tomorrow morning, I will visit the leaders of the International Economic Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China as soon as I go to work, and personally report this matter to him clearly, so that the outside world will not have any doubts!" ”
"Then I will thank Mr. Ivanov in advance." Zhong Bai also held his right hand tightly with the other party: "Of course, I can also promise you here that Baifeng Trading Company will continue to provide the cheapest mining equipment for the major underground mines in your hometown of Ukraine - Kharkiv City and Donetsk City in the future, so that they can share the convenience of DWX single hydraulic pillar technology, so that our friendship will last forever!" ”
